ting upon the people. He reminds them
Of their ability TO arrest and bring to
punishment all such by mean of the
power vested in them by the laws OF
Alabama and the United States and
says that if they find an ordinary or ex-
trAordinary posse comitatus unequal to
the task of successfully assisting them to
that end, they can call upon the troops
OF the United States nesrest to them,
and they will, under an unrevoked gen.
eraI order from the Wal DEPARTMENT,
promptly lend their aid to the desired
end. How does this conduct Of Gov.
SMITH compare with that of BRowNLow,
who goes back q year or two to frd

State, to rob the people and introduce
aRong them the eonlusions, chickering's
and arrangements from which we were
fast recovering? IN Alabama, Gov.
SMITH means 10 test the civil power and
prove its strength. Ia Tennessee, Gov.
BROwNLOw would attempt 10 prove the
weakness and iHeGpacity Of the civil
power by ordering the supremacy of
martial law in counties where the most
profound peace exists, and where there
is not the lesst obstruction to the en-
forcement of even the unconstitutional
enactments of his Legislature. Advised,
only q few days since, by Msj.-Gen.
THOMAS, Of his readiness to assist, with
the United States troops under his COM
mand, in the maintenance OF peace
throughout Tennessee, he scouts that
offer as he hiss secuted the solemn
pledges Of the people, and insists upon
forcing upon US the misrule to which we
have bsen a prey ever since the evil
hour when he was first entsiIed upon Us.
But this vindictive policy will not last
long. The friends and intimstes Of Mr.
SENTER promise Us a change. 1t is said
OF this gentleman that he is Constitu-
tionally Conservative, is aware of the
effects produced by BRowNLow's re-
pressions, and is anxious to restore to the
State that good feeling which is more
effective than laws in the advancement
Of the ends of justice, and more thorough
in combining and directing public opin-
ion upon those works of internal i'm
provement to which all parties may
lend their help to the great benefit Of
the State. II 1t be true that this is Mr..
SENTER's programme, it will, indeed, be
gratifying to his fellow citizens that he is
to succeed BRowNLow, and we think,
to that end, we may safely assure him
Of the support Of the people in a spirit
as Ioysl and truthful as aver distin-
guished them. But, il ne viii go farther
and inducesu legislation as will lead
to the enfrsnchisement of the intelii-
gence and worth Of the Slste, he will
have more the respect and gratitude ofs
people who already hail his advent to the
Office of Governor as at least a modicum
OF relief.

THE Radicals last night insugurated 8
brief campaign for the vacant County
Commissionership and nominated for
that Office q negro named Ed. SHAW,
who seems to have proven 10 the satis-
faction Of his party his superiority for
leadership over his white brethren. This
is not saying much for SHAW. Still it is
something in the way Of triumph for
himself and his race that he is the adj
mitted superior Of ali the unofficial
white Republicans; it is one more
step gained towards the goal suggested
by CHARLES SUMNER, and 10 which the
eyes Of every black man are turned with
q painful longing forever to
Lay down tie shovel and the hoe"
Just what we have expected to follow
the universal suffrage that has been
thrust upon us, we must regard it as an
Incentive TO renewed exertion for the
utter defeat ard route of the Radical
party. Upon SHAW, or upon his race,
we have no war to make. But with the
party that has put him forward, we must
continue the contest we have waged IN
elentingly the past three years. The ne
groes we hold blamelesss. They are SIS clay
in the HANDS Of the potter. Igaorant and
possessed OF the one idea that their white
leaders are their libsrators, to,whom they !
are bound by ties 81 gratitude, it is TO be
expected that they will continue as in the
past, TO yield more or less obedience to
them aud ultimately that individuals OF
them, las in this instancs) will crop up
aspirants for office. To defeat them in
this and whatever else they may have
promised themselves, as a result OF their
emancipation, every man ia opposition
to them must be rallied and q white can
didAte be put in the field possessed OF ali
the elements Of 8 popularity that will at
tract to him an overwhelming majority.
This is no time for q convention or for ua-
seemly Fquabbiing. The question for US
to decide is, [" The Vhite man or the ne
grO." We must select the strongest
man. Such an one, for instance, IS h.
CLAY CONDE, whose record as a Union
soldier and citizen, general character as
q man and department and fidelity as a
conservative Democrat, warrant US in
believing that he viii, If accepted, be
successful. Without dispsraging the
claims Of other gentlemen, we therefore
present Mr.. CoNDE to the conservative
Of Memphis as entirely worthy
their support aud their SURFACES.

There is q little m-feeling between the
Radicals Of the House and Senate,
arising from the deadlock over the Con-
stitutionsl Amendment, hut this exists
only between those who really desire its
passage. There is another class OF Radi
Gals that secretly rsjolces at the possibility
OF it's ultimate defeat They are afraid
to meet the issue in their respective
States, several Of which have alreadyr re-
jeeted negro suffrage, and viii doubtless
do so again, but while there are many OF
this class, apprehension are Justly enter
tanned that the Radicals will rot forego
this, their last chance, TO fasten such an

Bad to have on a Farm.

Not long since We heard of a man who
had been raised on farm, and knew how
to conduct it, who left farming and went to
sea. He was a man Of ability, and in due
time rose to the position of Captain, and in
the merchant service of our country he was
successful until the war; when pirates rob
bed and burned his ship, and left him to
start anew, with only fragment Of his
earnings. Commerce in American bottoms
was virtually at an end, and the sailor re-
verted to his early training, and resolved
to become once more a farmer. But just
here he made the great mistake which
many have made before him, and from
which we would fain deter those who read
these lines. Instead of investing his little
capital in a small farm, all paid for, and
working it closely and economically, until
the profits, sure and steady, enabled him
to enlarge, he purchased large farm re-
curing a great outlay to stock and furnish
it, and placed mortgage of fye-eighths of
the purchasing price upon it. With the
best fortune, it would have been strange if,
Under such circumstances his first year
had been a success. One of the earliest
difficulties experienced, was the hesitation
of farm hands to engage to work for man
who had such load to carry; they feared
for their wages. Then it was not easy to
do hot tD h,I =,
meet such heavy liabilities, and live beside,
from his farm, could sell as cheap as those
whose farms were nearly paid for, or desti-
tute of encumbrance Others there were,
of meaner spirit who thought that they
saw a possible chance not far of, to get a
good farm, or some stock and implements
cheap, when they were brought to the ham
mer. And so it is not wonderful, that be-
fore the first year was out, the weight
ed farmer found that he was running be-
hind at the rate of several thousand a year
The story carries its moral on its face,-bt
content with a small place entirely pait
for, if you have not the money to buy {
large farm. Do not allow that eager anC
avaricious spirit which desires to own al
the land that joins yours" to ruin you
One of the curses of our agricultural dis
tricts is the size of the farms. Forty acre
paid for, and thoroughly titled is bette
property and far more remunerative, thar
four hundred, under a heavy mortgage
and only half cultivated. Where one mai
succeeds by rashness in assuming large re
sponsibilities, hundreds fail; and expert
ence and observation will show, that tn
successful owners of large tracts of lam
have usually begun by small purchases 70
cash, and gradual additions as they &C
quired wealth by Industry and economy

A Plea for Simple Me odies.

Henry Ward Beecher is right upon the
music question. He says: at is no won
der that singing has died out from the con-
gregation when a choir is put up to recite
words that nobody can understand, to mu-
sic that nobody knows, and the people are
left to listen to newly converted opera airs,
which were brought over by fresh troupe
of foreign singers And those sweet mel
odies, that stilted propriety has long ago
driven from the church, but which have
gone forth among the people, and rung out
gloriously in camp meetings, shaking the
forest leaves with the ascending shouts of
a mighty people; or which more gently,
have filled rural school houses and humble
lecture rooms and village churches, not yet
corrupted by the false pretences of classic
music-thOse melodies that one can hear
with his ear, and not feel his heart beating
within his bosom all the faster for the
sound, are becoming the ridicule and con-
tempt of men who think that God must BIZ
praised to the sound of Meyerbeer or Ros
SIM, and not to the sweet and humble mel
odies of our own land"

Temperance and Paupers.

About thirty years ago few citizens of
New Braintree, in Massachusetts,, met to-
gether and resolved that the best interests
of the town required tavern in which
spirituous liquors should not be sold, as the
fact was patent that too many of the young
men in the place would congregate at the
Village inn" and were forming habits of
social drinking. After talking over the
Importance of the matter and satisfying
themselves that the enterprise they propos-
ed would not prove apaying one, they sub
scribed some s. 900, built hotel, furnish
ed it, and engaged a landlord to run it free
of rent. Soon after this reform, the peo-
pie of the town came to the conclusion that
it was an Improbable business to farm out
the poor of the town, as had long been the
practice, to the lowest bidder; and at a
town meeting they voted to buy poor
house farm and put the poor at work This
was also carried into effect. Twenty-Five
years have passed away, and going to that
quiet, thrifty town not long ago, the stage
diver said to Us on passing the 'poorhouse
farm, D." There is a funny place" "Why
so?" we asked Because, it is poor
house farm, and not a pauper in it. And l
suppose the reason IS, some years ago a
temperance tavern was started there-no
liquors have been sold, and there is nc
drinking, no drunkenness and not a pau
per in the town. Post.

EXTENDING Christ's Invitation.

Unless in the sense of guarding their
peace of mind from being disturbed by
temptation, and their purity from being
stained by sin, those who find treasures in
the gospel do not hide them. On the con-
trary, they seek to make the great discOv-
cry known, and to communicate its benefits
to all. There is no temptation to do other
wise, to keep it to ourselves, since it has
blessings in the pardon and peace of God,
enough for us and for all others. 1t is as
if one of caravan that had sunk on a
burning desert, were, in making last eff
fort for life, to discover no muddy pool,
but vast fountain-cool as the SHOWS that
replenished its spring, and pure as the
heavens that were reflected on its bosom.
He revives at the blessed sight, and push
ing on to the margin stoops and drinks
yet ere his thirst is fully quenched, see how
he speeds away to pluck his friends from
the arms of death, and, bark! how he
shouts, making the lone desert ring with
the cry, 'Ho! every one that thirsteth
come We to the waters!" None ever founC
Christ but they wished that some other.
also might find him, were ever saved with
out desire to save springing up in tn,
heart-their's is thespirit of Andrew ,wher
he went to his brother saying, 1--WE hav,
found the Messias"-of those who said
Come thou with Us, we will do theeg good
arise, for we have seen the land, and be
hold, it is very good. "-GWhrie.

SaItinq Mich Cows.

VIM. Egger of Lowville, Lewis CO., \.
y, a Swiss dairyman of experience, writes
Us the method practiced in Switzerland, by
the best stock keepers, in sailing stock.
He says cows should be sailed early every
morning, and if they are fed in the stable,
the salt should be given before foddering.
Sailing in this way improves their appe
tite, they drink with more regularity, are
kept in better health, and give more milk
than when salted in the usual way, as prac-
ticed by dairymen in America. He thinks
it very injurious to salt mich cows only
once or twice a week, a. they will lick too
much salt at one tine, and drink too much
for the day To have stock do well, they
must be fed with regularity, every day
alike, and never given too much of any
thing at one time.
He SAYS throwing a little salt before the
cows in the morning, Is much better than
allowing them to have free access to it dur
ing the day, or at all times, as they choose
to take II; because as 1t is not taken with
regularity, which has very important IN
fuence in lessening the average yield OF
milk. Cows, he says, should never be salt
ed after taking water, and then have nc
chance to drink for hours, as the irritation
on account of thirst will of itself operate
to depreciate the quality of milk, and les
sen the quantity. These facts he says he
! learned from one of the best and most sue.
cessful stock keepers in Switzerland, and
has found by repeated experiment in his
own practice to be the best course to b,
adopted by dairymen, in order to get the
most milk, and at the same time keep then
in good health.-Rurai New Yorker.
