Not So.


John Fotsythe, editor Of the Mobile
Register, in letter to his paper of the
25th, from Washington, says:
General Hancock is about foriy-six
years Of age; and his fine, handsome
person, expressive face and noble bear
ing hespeak the character Of the man.
The Pennsylvania Democracy have just
declared their preference for him. Sey-
mour, Of New York, Pendleton, Of Ohio,
aud Hancock, Of Penusylyauia, will be
the prominent names before the July
Convention for the nomination.
We can assure Mr.. Forsythe there is
no man in Washington, however big he
may be, authorized TO make the state
ment that the PennEylvsnia Democracy
has declared or ever will, fer General
Hancock. Members Of Congress mis-
take their mission when they undertake
10 pledge more than their individual
preference in this matter. We do not pre-
lend TO say what PennsylvAnia will do
on A uuit vote, bat We do know that up
10 this tine We have not met a single
delegate Who has expressed himself IN
favor Of Hancock. The majority Of The
delera,ion represent a majority Of the
peopie and 70 for PsndletOn-the Cons,i-
tution and reduction Of taxeA-Piffs- .

About Tennessee Delegates to the New
York Convention.

The New York Convention would not
receive delegates who do not bring cre-
dentials showing that they have been
chosen by popular assemblages Of the
people. There Is ample time for any
State to elect in the usual or ordinary
manner. No excuse can be rendered
for the reception Of delegates not sent
by the people, or only appointed by
committees not elected for that purpose.
Whatever may be done by the State Cen
trail Committee at Nashville, we can
safely predict that its delegates will not
be received against those who go to New
York fresh from the people, We say to
our Democratic friends in Tennessee,
hold your convention or conventions. :
Cincinnati Enquirer tLie0IrJ
The Murfreesboro Monitor has the fol-
lowing
1t is rumored that the Tennessee Gem
trail Committee do not intend TO call o
State Convention, but will itself appoint
delegates TO the National Convention. II
this be the case, it is possible the party
In the State who support the nominee so
selected will be limited to the committee
and its delegates. The day for such
trickery has passed -erf y
Adverting to the same subject, our
sterling Democratic confrere Of the
Clarksville Chronicle remarks:
Knowing the hopelessness of any aid
from this State to the Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency, we have been
inclined to make no move in that direc-
ton. But for another reason we think
such move may result in much good.
The position of Belmont on the bond
question, and the designation of New
York as the place for the meeting of the
National Convention, together with the
outgivings of some of the Northern ed
itors, favor the belief that desperate
effort is to be made to secure nomina-
ton adverse to the Pendleton policy.
Should this be done, the only "live 7"
issue in the campaign will be ruled out,
and defeat follow as necessary conse-
quence.
Now if Tennessee will send delegates
to that Convention, pledged to the vital
question of paying the national debt in
national currency, they may be instru-
mental in defeating the schemes of the
bondholders and electing the right sort
of man. The chances are worth the
trouble, and we therefore hope that every
county will send delegates to State
Convention, whenever and wherever it
may meet .-.., h.. IA

Radical Losses in the popularElso tions.

AT every State election since the spring
of 1867, the Radicals have lost ground.
A comparison of the returns of the cleo
ton in 1861 with those held in 1866,
shows that the Radicals have lost in the
States named, as follows: Maine, l5,-
S72; New Hampshire, 1910; Vermont
264l; Rhode Island, 1857; Connecticut,
1881; Massachusetts,, 81 1863 New York,
6l,7l9; New Jersey, II, $40; Pennsylva-
mia. 1902; Maryland, 29,2l2; Ohio,
39,7l4; Kentucky, 1854; California, l6,-
525 Iowa, 1866; Minnesota, 1868; Wis
consin, 1913; West Virginia, 1898.
Total Radical loss in 1867, 1854
This year, says the New York Er
press, the Radicals have lost TAG on their
last years majority in New Hampshire,
and 1862 on that of Rhode Island, whilst
the Democrats have gained about 900
over their last years majority in Con-
necticut. Indiana, Illinois and Kansas
show important Democratic gains in and
since lS67-the Radical loss in Missouri
was heavy last year, and at the local
elections this year. In Michigan, at
rough calculation, the Radical loss was
about 5000, and we need not recapitu-
late the fall back this spring. Oregon
held no general election in 1867, but has
steadily decreased the Radical majority
every year, and will certainly go Demo-
cratic next fall. Delaware increased its
Democratic majority in 1867, and will do
still better next fall. Nebraska and Ne
yada held no election last year, and Ten
nessee is swamped in negroism and
Brownlowism. The spring elections in
New Jersey, New York and Penusylva-
MIA indicate the Democracy will sweep
everything next fall. rt

BrazlI.

Next 10 our own great Northern re-
public stands the empire Of Brazilin i'm
portance as an American nationality.
In the preface TO the eighth edition Of
Brazil and the Brazilians," the author,
Rev. j. c. Fletcher, gives some facts OF
.commercia al and general interest Prom
inent among them are the opening Of the
Amazon, which occurred on the 7th Of
September, 1867, and by which the great
river is free TO the flags Of all nations
from the Atlantic TO Peru, and the
abrogation Of the monopoly of the coast
trade from the Amazon to the Rio Grande
do Sui, whereby four thousand miles
OF Brazilian seacost are open to the
vessels Of every country. The imme
diate results of the new policy are that
the exports and imports Of Para for
October aud November, 1867, were
double those of 1866. The author pre-
diets that II will soon be found cheaper
for all Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and New
Granada east of the Andes, 10 receive
their goods from and to export their
India.rubber, cinchona, ETC., TO the
United States and Europe by way Of the
great water highway which discharges
into the Atlantic, than by the long, cir
cuitous route of Cape Horn, or the trans
isthman route of Panama.
The Brazilian system of emigration is
said to be improving. The liberal offers
of the Brazilian government still hold
good, and notwithstanding there have
been mistakes aud dissppointments,
many Southerners, it is stated, have sue
ceeded and are succeeding in Brazil.
Slavery, it is said, has decreased with
great rapidity during 1861 The pres
ent number of slaves is estimated at
| 400, 000, which is reduction Of l,600,-
900 since 1868. Direct taxation has
been introduced in Brazil by the ext
gencies of the Paragusyan war.
In the Paris exhibition of 1867, Brazil,
strange as it may seem, bore away the
palm for the production of the best
coffee from all the contesting countries
Arabia, Java, Ceylon, Venezuela, the
West Indies and Central America. 1t is
stated as fact that coffee does not de-
pend upon where it grows, but upon the
length of time it remains upon the tree
and upon the manner of its curing. The
Brazilians themselves are said never
to use Rio, and although three.fourths
of all the coffee imported into the
United States comes from Brazil,
yet much oft is sold as Mocha and Java,
or under any other name than Rio. The
cotton of Brazil, which can be grown in
any portion of the empire, ranks far
above our uplands, and in the Liverpool
market the best Brazilian cottons stand
next, though at a distance, to the " Sea
Island" A fact of interest in its bear
ing on cotton culture in the Southern
States is that there are no great cotton
plantations in Brazil, but the most of its
culture is carried on upon small farms
cultivated by from one to six persons

Josh Billings Animated Nature
THE CROW.

Next to the monkey, the crow has the
most deviltry to spare. They are born
very wild, kan be tanned az easy az the
goat kan, but tame crow is aktually
worse than sore thumb. ftHu#
If there is ennything about the house
that they kant get into, it il because the
thing amt big enuf I had rather watch
distrikt skool than one tame crow.
Crews live on what they can steal, and
they will steal ennything that amt tied
down.
They are fond NV meat vittes, and are
the first to hold an inquest over o de-
parted boss or still sheep. They are a
fine bird tew hunt, but hard one to kill /;
they can see yu 2 miles first, and will
smell a gun right thro the side of a noun.

They are not songstirs, altho they have
good voice to cultivate; but what they
do sing they seem to understand thor

Thecrow is tuff bird, and kan stand
the heat like blacksmith, and cold like
stun wall.
They bid their nest among tree, and
lay twice, and both eggs would hatch
out if they were laid in a snow bank !;
there amt no such thing as stopping a
young crow.
Crows are very lengthy. l believe they
live always. never knew one to die q
natrel deth, and don't beleave they know
how.
They are always thin in flesh, and are
like an old ipjun-rubber shew-poor in
side and out.
They are not considered fine eating,
altho hav red somewhere nv billed crow,
but still never heard NV the same man
hankering fer some billed crow 2 times.
This essa on the crow is copied from
natur, and if it is true, amt to blame
for it; natur made the crow, didn't if
had, would hav made her more honest
and not quite so tuH.

leads me to remark, in the fust place,
that thus far they are suckcest.
They are domestic, and occasionally
are tuff.
This is owing to their not being billed

Billed hen is universally respected.
There is a great deal of originality in

The Source of all Our Woe.

The politico-religious fanatics Of New
England are at their old deviltries again.
This time it is a conference of Metho-
dists that presumes to decide what is
patriotic or otherwise in the conduct of
high public functionsries. But be the
denunciation what it may, it is the same
old leaven of Puritanism that moves
them all in this arrogant, blind and pes
tiferous intermeddling with civil affairs.
All our political troubles may be traced
to the pernicious fallscy that civil duties
are determined by. the higher law Of
the individual conscience; and until this
fatal delusion is dispelled, and New Eng
land politico-religious fanaticism made
to understand and respect the fact, too.

A Good Illustration.

Wade case:

act as President depends upon his hold.
ing the other office at the same time. A
good illustration is afforded by the case
of the Chief Justice presiding in the i'm
peachment trial. He presides at this
trial only in virtue of his holding the
office of Chief Justice at the same time.
If Mr. Chase, on the first or second day
of the triah had resigned the Chief JUS
ticesbip, he would from that moment
have become constitutionslly ineapaci-
tated to preside. In like manner, if the
law of 1872 had designated the Chief
Justice as the officer to act as President
in the event of double vacancy, he
could act in that capacity only so long
as he retained the office which consti.
tuted his title. The same reasoning ap-
plies to the President pro tempore of the
Senate, the officer actually designated by
law"

Where the Money Goes,

The public printing Office has just
turned out one of the finest pieces of
typographical workmanship ever exc.
cuted in this country. 1t is volume Of
nine hundred and forty pages, about
the size Of large pulpit or family
bible, bound in the highest style of
Turkey morocco, costing thirty-seven
dollars a volume. Its contents are
the expressions of coincidence, abroad
and at home, on the death of Mr.
Lincoln. 1t embraces everything on the
subject, from Queen Victoria's letter to
the resolutions of town meeting in
Boone county, Missouri. am told the
amount of money expended upon it ex-
ceeds a hundred thousand dollars. A
Democratic Congressman told nae the
other day that he would want no better
argu ment for his constituents than the
simple exhibition of that volume, to
prove the reckless extravaganza Of the
administration. He added that he should
carry his copy round with him in the
next campaign, and show i to the peo-
pie, to let them see what they have got
for their hundred thousand dollars.

A marvellous occurrence took place
in Norton, Mass, on Tuesday evening
of last week, IS we are informed by an
eyewitness. The store and dwelling
house of Mr.. Thomas Boylan, late Of
Woonsocket, was shaken as by an earth
quake, throwing crockery from the
shelves and doing considerable damage
Mr.. Boylan and several other persons
who were sitting in the store were thrown
to the floor and greatly frightened. They
thought an earthquake had visited them.
But what is most singular, the shock was
felt nowhere else in the vicinity, and
other people in the Deighborhood knew
nothing OF the shake" until told of it
by the half-dozen persons who expe-
rienced the shock. They are people of
veracity, including Mrs. Boylan, who
expressed the thought; "The end of the
