Why was Babel built :


Various causes have been assigned
for building, or rather attempting to
build that tower. Some suppose it was
to protect against second flood. A
strong objection to this, is that they
chose as a site, plain instead of high
mountain. Others suppose it was
meant for place of worship. But, if
so, it must have been for idolatrous
worship, and in defiance of the true
God. For God frowned upon it as q
rebellious project. One great object Of
this enormous building doubtless was
to secure renown. They said "let us
make us q name" They wished this
lofty tower to perpetuate their glory.
Doubtless ambition and pride prompted
in the work. These Babel builders also
seemed to have an idea that it might
serve as bond of union. They did
not wish to be divided, or scattered
over the earth. They wished one
central kingdom, and one strong pillar
of remembrance. But he that sitteth
in the heavens held them in derision.
All these attempts of men to honor
themselves terminated in confusion.

The bill which provides for the re-
assembling Of the Georgia legislature,
the readmission of negro members,
and the exclusion of whites, supposed
to be ineligible under the XIVth
Amendment, has been agreed upon
and recommended in the United
States Senate by its Judiciary COM
mittee. The same bill declares the
legislature to be only provisional, I'M
til the Senators and Representatives
of the State are admitted 10 Congress.
The Constitution Of the State. which
was adopted by the Radical COnsti-
tutional Convention and ratified by
such voters of all colOrS as the military
authorities allowed to vote, declared
negroes ineligible to Office. The
whole thing was done with the then
appreciation of the military au-
thorities and the sanction of the gov
eminent. But, after the State had
thus performed all the conditions re-
quired for readmissiOn and had, to all
intents and purposes, been recognized
as aState, it is now to be again de-
clared out of the Union, for party pur-
poses, and with the same right Ken
lucky, Maryland or Tennessee might
be dealt with in the same manner.
Is there no limit to Radical audacity,
which thus tramples on everyprinciple
Of common right, and will the people
of the North take no alarm at the
assertion of prerogatives which strike
at the liberties Of the people and the
rights of all the States?

The Nashville Banner says Of the

by the legislature that sit was not
the intention Of the legislature, we are
assured, that the law In its present
shape should be a permanent one"
The same paper states that an inten-
ton has been expressed to perfect a
better law in due time, and that it
was deemed better to stop the heavy
expenditure Of the old system on ac-
count Of the presently embarrassed
financial condition Of the State,
augmented by the necessity Of receiv-
ing Tennessee Bank notes for taxes.
The counties, not being bound to re-
ceive these notes, it was thought
they might sufficiently keep up a
system Of instruction until the State
should be more able, and a better
system could be devised. Under all
the circumstances, we think the
course Of the legislature a proper
one. But the subject of education
should not be forgotten as one of the
very first importance, and which
should be provided for on a scale cor
responding to the necessities Of child
rem whenever and to the extent it is
possible 10 do so.

TIE Coroner OF San Francisco has,
in his recent annual report, a rather
ugly account of the habits Of the Chi
nese in that city. There is a furious
collision of opinion on the subject Of
their importation going on there, and
the Coroner may be one of the bitter
opposers. From the CorOner's ac-
count the Chinese habits are little bet
ter than those Of ungOverned African
huts. He says:
Ct beg leave to call your attention
to these people; the filth of most Of
their habitatiOns cannot be described.

six children livingin q room not larger
than six by ten feet, with a child dead

Grafton, not only from the filthy con-
ditiOn in which they live, the neglect
they undergo from their own people
when they are sick and no longer able
to work, but because they are accu-
mulating in our almshOu5es and luna
tic asylums. While they are able to
work, they are looked after by the
companies which haveimpOTted them /;
but when they become sick, imbecile
or dangerously insane, they are left
to themselves TO lie on a piece of mat
ting and die, or are discarded by their
own countrymen, taken up by the au-
thOrities and sent to the aimshouse or
lunatic asylum. The companies who
bring these people here should be
compelled to take care of them when
they are unable to take care of them

MADISON county has two candi-
dates for delegates to the COnstitu-
tional Convention-Gen. A. w. CAMP
BELL and Hon. MILTON BROWN.
Gen. CAMPBELL is emphatic against
negro suffrage. Judge BROWN treats
it as an open question which, in his
view, under the circumstances, ought
to be passed upon by hepeople. The
Jackson Wing says:
On the question Of negro suffrage
Judge Brown thought the Convention
should not take final action, but should
provide for its settlement by the first
Legislature that assemblies after the
adoption or rejection of the amended
Constitution, and that in the election
of members to the Legislature the
question of suffrage should be voted
for separately.

The APPEAL is mistaken in suppos-
ing that the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad had passed into the hands Of
Frank Mahan and his cO-cOnspirat0Ts.
They went to Little Rock and en-
deavOred, with the aid of Gov. Clay
ton and his militia, to get possession.
All sorts of Writs were manufactured
TO order, and sometimes ClaytO1's
militia by the score went with the
Sheriff and his deputies to execute
them; but all to no purpose. On one
occasion, Mahan himself went to the
depot or Office in LittlO Rock, and en-
deavOred to get employees to run the
train out, but while he was at it, Su-
perintendent Williams appeared and
ordered him of, and he went off with
out getting possession Of the road, or
any part thereof. In fact, neither Ma
han, sO-called President" nor any
Of his cO-cOnspiratOrs, have ever held
possession of the road for any period
Of time whatever. If they had, in
stead of putting men on the road by
the score 10 finish it, ii would doubt
less have been Quilted long ago, and
even the rails taken up and sold for
old iron. So far from Mahan being in
possession of the road, he was com
PEELED to pay his fare like any other
passenger on his return from Little
Rock. Perhaps the audacity of Ma
hans card has misled even the APP
PEAL into suppOsing that the cOnspi-
TatOrs had obtained possession. Thus
far Gov. Clayton and Mahan, his tool,
have been thWarted in their wicked

Memphis who desires the early COM
pletiOn of the Little Rock road will
most ardently pray that they may
never succeed! Clayton and his min
ions inaugurated this scheme to get a
big pile for themselves, as they had
already done in regard to the Fort
Railroad; but il remains TO be
seen whether they can succeed. Even
with three out Of five Supreme Court
Judges in Arkansas already in the
ring with Clayton and Mahan, it is
still doubtful If this wicked cOmbina-
ton to levy black-mail or ruin a great
improvement will succeed. But what
ever the result, the people OF Memphis
cannot afford to remain passive and

Negro Suffrage in Texas.
From the Austin Sac aazette.

From the Austin state Gazette.
On Wednesday, the second day of
the election in this county, we, n of
the excluded whites, went to the
courthouse to take a look at the cleo
ton. This is the first we have ever
glanced at where the universal negro
voted and was in the ascendency. We
had heard of the first days proceed
ings, and of the crOwding of the polls
by the colored members of the Loyal
League, and we thought it our
duty, outsider as we were, to
go and take a look at negro
suffrage and see for ourself how ii
worked. And we went and saw, and
stayed a short time, but saw enough
to convince US that all u objections
to universal suffrage for the blacks
were well founded and that it will
work the decentralization of both
races. There was pulling and haul
ing, and tearing up and changing OF
tickets, and shouting for Hamilton
and Davis, and voting they knew not
how and evidently did not care. All
the candidates for the county officers
and their friends were busy, and the
cOlOred friends were having a glorious
time with electiOneering and whisky
and loud talk and voting, some how
or other. Many of them voted a. the
Loyal League told them to vote, and
thinking they would therebyg get lands
and mules, and others voted according
to the last white man who got hold of
them, and the whole thing looked to
Us a disgusting farce, as it is and no
mistake. And yet we must take it.
This thing has been forced upon Is at
the point of the bayonet, directed by
a Radical Congress, and we have to
take it and bear it until the public
sentiment of the whole country
changes. To attempt to resist it in
any form is folly. We take it because
we cannot help ourselves, but we wish
to keep it in remembrance that it is
all wrong. While we submit, we en-
ter our protest againstit. If the cOUn-
try is to be governed by vice and
ignorance, what will it come to in the
end? Do the people of the United
States reflect what that end will be?
a majority of them, certainly. So
drift on.

Mr. SUMNER has introduced into
Congress g new bill to increase the
banking capital Of the United States,
but withdrawing legal tenders to the
extent Of the increase. The plan is to
withdraw all the legal tender notes

leave its volume the same. The Pen
dletonian views have not died out in
the West. And even the Radical por-
ton OF its citizens see in the present
stringency everywhere the importance
Of some me usure Of expansion. 1t is
likely to become more a question be-
tween the different sections of the
Union than merely n between par
ties. The Chicago Republican declares
that il is violently opposed to this
project, which is, evidently in the in
terests of the capitalists of New Eng
land. Despairing of an out-and-out
contraction, they are ready to take the
next best thing for themselves. We
cannot understand why such a per-
sistent fight against the greenbacks
should be Kept up, unless the interests
OF private corporations are to be adj

welfare. Business men generally will
