ALLA RADTCAL DOD@E.

We have always held that the i'm
perialist movement was only a Radi-
cal dodge, a trap for the unwary. The
last number of the L%nperialist ac-
knowledges the corn and establishes
itself chief among the organs of that
party. Here is the avowal from its
own columns:
As we have often asserted in these col
umns, the Imperial movement in the
United States owes It's origin to h sincere
conviction of independent thinking men
throughout the country. 1t would be
useless TO deny even if we were disposed
to do 50, that perhaps q majority of its
earnest sympathizers and supporters at
the North cast their ballots with the Re-
publican party, on the principle of choos-
ing the lesser Of two evils. The Repubi-
can party to-day includes a large proper
ticn of the intellectual and moral worth of
the Northern section of the nation, and its
principles, though based on the false and
dangerous dogmas OF equality, popular
sovereignty, and the unconditional en-
franchisement Of the ignorant and vicious
masses. are less Objectionable in the judg-
ment of right thinking men than the agra
rian tendencies of the doctrines unblush-
ingiy promulgated by the advocates OF
national d~ishonor-the party of repudia-
ton. Under such circumstances, those
| who have the welfare of the nation at
heart, would rather give their temporary
assent to the policy of q party, which,
though as radical N the errors it has ex-
pressed as on the truths which also found
a place within its accepted creed, was less
dangerous in its influence and d~isoFsanlz.
ing In It's tendencies than the party who
| courted national dishonor and denied thu
claims of the nations creditors. We nc.
knowledge, in view Of these facts, thai
many or the friends of Imperialism mus
vote, If they vote at all with the Repub-
lican party, but we deny that the move
ment Is IN any way partisan, or that il;
ranks are not open to all who, weary o
the hollow fraud which, from habit, Wa
call OF government are ready 10 labor
with zeal and fidelity in the cause OF q re.
form that can only be accomplished
through revolution.

M r
THE Radicals of Texas wish the
election in that State delayed until
harvest sets in, when they think the
time will have arrived for their party
success; and the President, of course,
concurs, remarking that he hopes by
that time the Union element will be a
unit in the Lone Star State. 1t Is
nothing to him, nor to the Radicals,
likely to be benefited by this course,
that an immense loss and inealeulable
damage to the best interests of the
State may follow from this delay and
selection of so inopportune a time for
holding an election. The people and
their real true interests are nothing
when opposed to Radical success. The
Government machine must be run to
suit the party, and not for the benefit
of the people who toll and sweat to
keep it running. IF the white people
of the South would make the contest
a square issue of white VS.. black, as
the negroes i'm Tennessee are making
it, we believe that neither Govern
ment mol politicians would be able to
withstand the pressure, or maneuver
thus to their detriinent, and that our
well being would be decided forever.

OUR
FNCE OF OPINION.

The New York Herald of Monday,
in an editorial upon our late Conven-
ton, says:
The vast change which the war has
wrought is manifest in the proceedings OF
the Memphis Commercial Convention,
which adjourned sine die last Saturday
This Convention had a fine open field and
vigorously entered it. Railways, bridges,
~leYees, emigration and a variety OF KIN
dred topics of a practical character were
seriously deliberated and acted upon, 4
on the dav of its adjournment it adopted
a resolution requesting Congress to put
the telegraph system of the country under
the control of the Postmaster-General
| In passing this most important resolution
the Memphis Commercial Convention bore
| witness TO the growing public sentiment
in favor of the uniform telegrapn1c sys-
tenn. which has already been adopted WITH
| the happiest results in several European
| countries.
The New York Tribune of the same
date has this paragraph upon the same
subject:
Commercial Conventions have a facility
| for doing foolish things, without eonsid-
| Grafton, on the appeals of interested par
/ ties. of course the n at Memphis
might. beforehand, have been fairly
counted on for its share, but we confess
| we were hardly prepared for such an ex'
! treme of folly as the recommendation O
the exploded and Observation-Disclosures
scheme for a government postal tele
graph. We thought better of the Mem
phis people than that.
There is here a slight difference o
opinion; to be accounted for in this,
however, that the Herald is opposed
to the telegraph companies, who re
| fused TO lend themselves to its wa.
upon the Associated Press, and thu
Tribune, for the contrary reason, is il
favor of them.

few last years of her life and fed this
celebrated mare on bread from his

winds blew cold, and furnishing her with
a soft, clean bed to lie on. These are the
only two instances heard Of where horses
were thus cared for in their old days by

WASHINGTON, Feb. I7.-There is a
good deal of feeling among the Republic
cans here, at the delay Of the Senate in
making some provision for the widow OF
the Martyr President. There are no
. two opinions among the people about the
justice of the act, and why there should
be any delay in the passage of the bill is
incomprehensible. Mr.. Stanton has la
bored zealously to push the bill through,
but he finds it hard work to bring other
well-known Republicans up to the work.
A bill granting the ample right of way

The Judiciary Committee has reported

THE sssCHOOL FUND"

A Gard from Capt. Dan. Able.
The Memphis Avalanche publishes
the following card:
MEMPHIS, Feb. Is, 1869.-Tn your
issue of Sunday last you publish letter
from A. S. Mitchell, dated Nashville,
18th instant, in reference to the Rutter
School Fund controversy. In Mr.. Mitch
elPs letter appears what purports to be
an extract Of letter from Parham to
Rutter, under date of February 7, 1867,
which may leave the impression upon the
minds of persons not knowing the facts
that | was member of the Legislature
when the School Fund was battered
away to the Tennessee National Bank,
and in some way connected with the
transaction. | was not a member at that
time, but was afterwards, and urged an
investigation; and when it was ascer-
tanned where the money had been sent,
| had frequent conversations with John
w. Smith, then Senator, Colonel Cole
man, DR.. Biggs, Mr. Richards and other
members about the possibility of securing
to the State the amount of the School
Fund. ..-
i obtained from Memphis, without the
knowledge Of Rutter or Parham, state
ment of the condition of the bank, and
was satisfied the bank could not pay the
amount of the School Fund debt, and so
represented to my colleague, Col. Cole
man, Senator Smith, DR.. Biggs and other
members, who joined me heartily in try
ing to devise some means to secure to the
State the amount of the School Fund.
Some time about the LIST of February,
1867, Mr.. Parham called on me in Nash
vile, he representing the bank, and said
the bank directors wished to retain the
money in the bank asked him if the
stockholders could secure the amount of
the School Fund by giving Memphis real
estate security or other number one COL
lateral; he answered in the affirmative
told Parham at that time that | knew
as much about the financial condition of
the bank as he did; that | had state
ment of its condition, and that the bank
would suspend unless relieved by the
stockholders, and | told him that if the
stockholders would secure the School
Fund to the State | would favor giving
two, three, four or five years time, my
only desire being to secure its payment
beyond doubt DAN. ABLE.
