SOME fifteen thousand freedmen il

SOME fifteen thousand freedmen in
Texas are in destitute condition. To
avoid labor and at the same time to es-
cape starvation they are taking up the
pleasant pursuit of robbery. Strong
appeals are new being made in their be-
half to the white people of Texas, to
contribute to relieve these freedmen in
their distress. To require them to work
for their living, as white men have to
do, would of course be "disloyal."
Should the white people fail to respond
literally to the demands of negro pau
perism, the failure will be held as an
other evidence of the irrePressible re-
belism of Texas, and the proper meas
ures will be taken to meet the case.

thoronghness, with which . wsll con-
trived Test Oath system promotes the
success of the ruling party, may become
TIE guarantee of that party's downfall.
Asin West Virginia 90 in Tennessee, the
Goyernor was given full power over the
right Of suffrage in his State. The cen-
tralizstion of this power in one mans
hands was held to assure the rule Of
the proscriptionists. And yet when the
time came it hsstened their overthrow.
Their own weapon was tarned against
them. The priests Of the guillotine be-
came in some sense it's victims.
Possibly not in this way, but yet in
some way, viii the reign of disffsschise@
mont in West Virginia pass away and be
known no uiore. 1t cannot endure
and it win not. It is opposed
to all Justice, humanity or lib
erty. The liberal ideas of the age
are against it. The progress of events
daily weakens it. Public sentiment no
longer sustains il. And as no law howev-
er good can be enforced when not backed
by public sentiment, so no bad law
however formidable its defenses or how
ever difficult its repeal, can remain in
force when the people refuse their ap-
proval, and bring to bear against the
law, its officers, its agents and its
friends, the silent but irresistl BILE infn-
ence of public opinion. The tendency
of that opinion in our State is our sure
reliance that West Virginia will speed
lily become like Tennessee, as free in fact
as in name. Whether that end shall be
reached over the ruins of The Republi-
can party depends entirely upon the
policy to be adopted by that party it.

A PROMINENT colored individual,
TALIAFEKRo PAGE, Esq, doorkeeper of
the Alabama Senate, has been sentenced
to Imprisonment for five years. The
offence that consigns his aristocratic
name and person to the cherries COM
forts of stone cell consists in his allow
ing an ugly discrepancy to exist between
some testimony he gave and the actual
facts in the case. Not to put too fine q
point upon it, he committed perjury.
And thus the oppressed race, brought
out of bondage into the light of liberty,
rises to the dignity of its mission, en-
joys its "rights" and meets the conse-
quences.

The Leason of Tennessee.

Inc results OF Gu6 1euueoScc olcCtlOu
are almost startling. The returns, which
may be found elsewhere, indicate fear
ful verdict against STOKES, prescription
ard scalawagerie. 1t is true, the strong
hold of the proscriptionists, East Ten
nessce, is not fully reported, but if it
gave a unanimous vote, it would be
swept away in the perfect flood of SEN
TER majorities reported from the other
sections of the State.
There is no doubt of the election of
SENTER by the largest majority ever
given in Tennessee, at fair election,
for any man. There is no doubt of the
election of Conservative Leg islature,
which will speedily remove the last
vestige of the disfranchisement policy
from the statute books of the State.
There is little doubt, also, of the choice
by that Legislature, of ANDREW JOHN
son, to succeed Fowler in the Senate
oil the United States. However much
of poetic or retributive justice may ap
pear in the latter event, and however
much people may sympathize with
A. J. on account of what he has been
and done and suffered, there is so much
ground for genuine rejoicing in the
facts first named, that many might be
reconciled to seeing our late President
remain in honored and uninterrupted
retirement in view of that glorious con-
summation, the release of Tennessee
from the thraldom of Test Oaths. But
if his fortunes shall thus brighten with
those of the people who have known
nothing but trial and darkness since he
was their Military Governor, there will
certainly be witnessed q wonderful illus
tration of the freaks of times whirligig.
A stranger occurrence could hardly be
imagined than that a prominent patron
of the proscriptive policy, himself an
inventor of Test Osths, should profit
more than any other man by the aboli-
tion OF Acknowledgement system which
he, more than any ether man, aided to
force upon the people of his State.
JOHNSON, of course, has long since been
forgiven for his Military Governorship
in Tennessee, but the fair future that
now seems to await him is noticeable
as showing his own general good luck
and the caprices of the wheel of political
fortune.
JOHNSON aside, Tennessee is free; that
is reasonably certain. Having been
more cruelty and wickedly prescribed
oppressed and trampled upon than the
people of any other State, having been
sunk deeper and more hopelessly in the
mire of political degradation than any
other disfranchised community, her peo-
pie are the first to shake off their shack
les, assert their manhood and glori iously
vindicate the truth that the permanent
disfranchisement of the white race Is
impossible. May net other States take
warning by thisi Should not the pro-
scriptionists Of West Virginia read their
fate in that of STOKES, if they shall per.

A DISPATCH from Nashville to the
Cincinnati Commercial stated that no
trouble was aaprehended at the ap-

did come for all that; toll and trouble,
double trouble, and the Stokesites mo-
nopolize it-all because Old Badly fell
some fifty thousand votes short of an
election.

JOHN A. J. CRESSwELL,
Postmaster General


Some of the inferences suggested are
quite cheering. One is that if STOKES
was "the true representative of the Re.
publican party of Tennessee" he had
rather a lonesome time of it. His con-
stituents were hardly numerous enough
to get up respectable funeral obsequies
for the hero they buried. Another is
that either the "sound Republicans"
went back on the trusting CREsswELL
and refused to "rally enthusiastically"
or else the "sound Republicans"
were so far outnumbered by the
rotten ones that their enthusiastic
rallying" failed to produce any appre-
ciable results. Also if the Presidents
opinion and desire pointed to the cleo
tion of STOKES, the people of Tennessee
have come within very slight dis
tance of indicating profound contempt
for the Presidential opinions and de-
sires. The candidate of the Admins
tration seems to have been supported
by the employees of the Administration
and by scarcely anybody else. GRANT
has emphaticslly ceased to be great in
that strange spell, a name" His sim
fuence" having failed in Tennessee, it
is hardly to be supposed that any party
will hereafter care whether his infu-
ence be for them or against.

that as in the days of the rebellion. the
