The Negroes OF Tenn esse.

The Louisville Courier-J ournal,
whose editor Is well-known
and avowed friend of the colored
people, offers food for reflection to the
Tennessee colored people, under the
above caption, in the following peril
nent suggestions
1t appears that General Stokes,
whilst speaking at Nashville last
Saturday against the removal of the
political disabilities of ex-rebels OF
Tennessee, was frequently cheered,
and that, when he closed, q part OF
the colored portion of his audience,
unwilling to hear Governor Senter's
reply, went shouting from the hail.
This Is strikingly illustrative of the
fell spirit which has been aroused in
the hearts of the Tennessee negroes.
They think that they have got the
white race under their feet, and they
are determined not only to keep them
there, but to vaunt the fact on all oc-
casions as Extensively and insolently
as possible. Maddened and misled
by those fanatical and wretched
whites who have obtained political
control of them, they are bringing up
on themselves retributioIl swift and
terrible-the retributioD Of inevitable
extirpation or annihliation. Proba-
bly, many of them will not see theii
doom till they feel it also. The white
leaders see 1t, but, so they succeed In
accomplishing their own purposes by
the full exercise of transient political
power, they care not what may be
fall the negroes afterward. 1t will be-
pity, however, If the white wretchei
escape the fate In which they are in
volving their miserable victims.

Well Said.

The New York Herald, concluding
q patriotic article on the decoration Of
the graves of the Federal dead, thus
refers to the disgraceful scene which
has already been reported by tele-
graph;
On such an occasion and during a
moment Of such solemn approach to-
wards complete national reunion, we
were panied to publish In our columns
yesterday, the statement that United
States marines were detailed on Sat
urday for duty in Arlington Heights
churchyard, under orders to prevent
the decoration of the graves OF the
Confederate dead inferred there. Is
this really true? The men on both
sides were born under one flag they
spent many year of boyish sport in
company; in an unhappy moment
they were estranged by the machina'
tons of selfish politicians; family
disunion, even TO death, ensued but
who attempts to continue this divis-
ion after death? Did General Grant
know of the order given to the ma
rines in Arlington?

Rich with Clear Conscience.

Many man is rich without mon
ey. Thousands of men with nothing
in theirpockets, and thousands with a
good sound constitution, good heart
and good limbs, and a pretty good
head-piece, are rich. Good bones are
better than gold, tough muscles better
than silver, and nerves that flash fire
and carry energy to every function are
better than houses and lands. It is
better than landed estates to have had
the right kind of a father and mother.
Good breeds and bad breeds exist
among men as really as among herds
and horses. Education may do much
to check evil tendencies, on to develop
good ones, but it is good to inherit the
right proportion of faculties TO start
with. That man Is rich who has q
flavor of wit and fun i'm his compost
ton. The hardest thing to get along
with In this life Is mans own self.
A cross, selfish fellow, o timid, care
burdened man-these are all deformed
on the inside. Their feet do not limp
but their thoughts do. A man of for
tune, on the brink of the grave, would
gladly part with every dollar to OBJ.
tain longer lease of life.

THE DEATH OF ONE OF THE RAN.
DoIPHs.-The National Intelligen.
Ger Of the 9th ultimo, contains the
following notice of the death of one
of the Virginia Randolphs, descen.
dant Of Pocahontas, and one who
over thirty years ago caused great ex-
element by the performance of an
act-the pulling of General Jackson's
nose--which caused him to flee the
country, and from the evil effects Of
which, as affecting his fortunes in
life, he never recovered:
" Robert b. Randolph, who had
the misfortune to be dismissed from
the navy by General Jackson, with
out good cause, and who pulled the
Generals nose I'm vindicatfOn of his
honor--Randoiph's and not Jack
sOn's-died In this city on Tuesday
last, at the age of 70 years. The
pulling took place fn the cabin of a
steamer which stopped at Alexandria
on its passage down the river. Ran
dolph went aboard, marched up to
jackson, who supposed he was con-
fronted by friend till the thing was
done. Randolph got beyond the ju-
risdiction of the county police before
process could be issued, and escaped
arrest.
The cities of the District werein q
foam over the indignity, and the
whole country, i'm fact, was for time
in tempest, the triumphant jack
son party feeling that its own nose
had been twisted by this audacious
descendant of POcahontas. General
Van Ness, then Mayor of Washing
ton, sent u solemn message to the
Councils on the event, and the Boards
responded in a solemn resolution of
coincidence and indignation. Ran
dolph was fugitive for couple of
years, and has since passed his life
mostly in this District. The act
MANNED his prospects, and he lived
and died in poverty. He wasa cousin
of John Randolph, and leaves a wife
and three daughters and one son.
Floyd gave him the superintendent
of the Armory in this city, when he
was Secretary of War, but the act
aboard the steamer at Alexandra,
some thirty years before followed
him, and Buchanan ordered his dis
missal.
+" Randolph was a lieutenant i'm the
navy when dismissed, and had done
good service under Decatur. He was
a high-spirited, intrepid man, and
maintained his dignity and his char
acter to the last. The Intelligencer
defended him when he was dismissed
from the service, indicating his
character as brave and upright man.
The scene when Jackson, who was
then President, found himself with a
pulled nose, is described by those who
saw 1t as one of stupendous rage"

Let Your wire Know Your Cfrcum
stances.

II Is a custom too common with the
men of the world to keep their fami-
lies in utter ignorance of the situation
of their BUSINESS. The wife knows
notling-has not even an idea of the
amount OF her husbands fortune,
whether 1t is to be counted by hun
dreds or thousands. What can wo-
man kept In such ignorance learn I?
She spends, as a matter of course, all
he gives her to spend, with the full
confidence that when that Is gone,
and she asks him, he will give her
more.
If ari unmarried woman works, she
may go with bold unfiinching face,
and demand her wages but q wife
can demand nothing, her claim is for
bare necessity and generous men, on
that account, are too indulgent, too
fearful of letting wife know the ex-
act state of their finances. TITS all
wrong.
Husbands and wives have nruttfa1
interest; every woman should know
the exact state of her husbands
finances, understand his plans, aid
him, IL possible, with her counsels,
and then these terrible catastrophes
would not 80 often happen. Many a
wife who Is plunging her husband
deeper and deeper into debt from ig-
norance, would, IL she knew his en-
barrassments, be the first to retrench,
the first to save, and with true wo-
manly sympathy and generosity, help
him to reinstate his falling fortunes.

Origin of the War.

Judge Nicholas ofKentucky, writing
to the National InteIligencer, takes
issue with Alexander II. Stephens,
and denying that the late war had
origin in the diversity Of opinion as
to the rights of secession or morality
of slavery. He says it was simply a
development of personal ambition on
the part of American politicians
Judge Nicholas quotes and approves
the appended.resolution ofthe Legisla-
ture of Tennessee, passed he states In
lS60-l:
"In the opinion Of this General
Assembly, all the evil growing out ol
the present intense slavery agitation!
all the discerd, alienation and hatred
now growing up and extending be-
tween the North and the South, are
legitimate fruits, not ofany necessary
or irrepressible conflict between free
and slave labor, but a conflict 6ett0eet
rirm dspirdnts ia the race Of dD'bt

THE Cincinnati Enquirer, discuss
Ing the political condition In this
State, says,
The source of power must revert to
the intelligent and property-holding
masses. The people of Tennessee for
years have been remarkably quies-
cent and peaceable under the deep
wrongs to which they have been sub
jected. We know the character of the
North. Not for one year would they
have endured IL. If the entire right
of suffrage had been vested In negroes
and foreign carpet-baggers, ms II is In
Tennessee, they would have thrown
IL Off at any cost and any expense
1t would have been rs much as ones
life was worth To have participated In
the usurpation. The division and
discord OF the enemy In Tennessee
may facilitate, but they will hot
change, the ultimate result. In the
meantime, the late Tennessee conven-
ton Is n fine exhibition Of the moral
character and intelligence of what II
known as Southern Radicalism. Low
as our politics were ever debased In
this section, they were high and hon
orable compared TO this shameful
scene In the capitol of that State,
which has given TO the nation three
Presidents--Jackson, Polk and John
son--and in addition produced such
citizens as White, Bell and Grundy
The condition OF affairs In Tennes-
see Is far worse than that Of any
other State. IL was organized undeI
a special act, and DISTINGUISHES a nu'
merous class, that, even under the re-
construction laws Of Congress, ar,
permitted TO vote In other States.
Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1869-06-19

It has been our misfortune all our
life to be on the weak side of every
thing. We have strong hankering,
in the political contest now going on,
to get on the strong side, just to see
how a fellow would feel at finding
himself with the majority after being
in minority all his life. But for the
life of us we can't satisfactorily de-
termine which is the strong side.-
We meet Senter man he tells US If
we want to be on the strong side we
had better go for his man-that Sem
ter has the "dead wood" on 'em-that
he has the registration machinery in
his hands, and that he is going to
have certificates issued by the thous-
and to the DISTINGUISHED, and of course
they will all go for him. This looks
plain to us. Such q move, it seems
to us, would unquestionably elect
Senter, and we made up our mind at
once to go for him. But we meet a
Stokes man and he tells us If we want
to be on the strong side, we had bet
ter take shelter under the broad wing
of the "Bald Eagle of the noun
tains''-that hell soar above every
thing. We tell him that Stokes has
''no chance''-that Senter Is going to
enfranchise q great many of the ex-
rebs, and will be elected in spite of
fate. Upon this he laughs know
ing laugh, and says that Is just what
we want Mr.. Senter to do. Don't
you know that when he undertakes
that little game the friends of Stokes
will raise the hue and cry that he
has sold out to Conservatives and is
enfranchising the rebels contrary to
law, and that this will have the eff
feet of rallying every colored man
and the whole of loyal East Tennes-
see, including Brownlow, to the
standard of the "Bald Eagle, and
consequently resultin his triumphant
election?" We confess we hadn't
thought of this before. 1t startled
us, and drove all idea at once from
our mind of coming out for Senter.-
Such move OH the part of Senter
would certainly elect Stokes. The
truth is, this business is nightly
mixed. There are two sides to the
question when we thought there was
only one. We are in quandary.-
We are looking for the strong side
and don't know where to find it
Upon the whole, we think the best
thing we can do is to shout alternate
ly for Stokes and Senter until the
election, and then take bold stand
for the man that wins.-Lc6. Herald.

Excuse the liberty take,
To write a moment for your sake,
And when you read this page of mine,
Believed there's truth In every line.
He who reigns supreme above
Formed in man o heart for love,
And said, in God-likc tongue and tone,
1t is not good to live alone.
And when on earth no more he walked,
And with his servant Adam talked,
He babe his holy seers record,
"A prudent wife is from the Lord"
II from the Lord, tits plainly true,
She must be good enough for you.
Why then have youthful summers flown,
Till age hath found thee now alone?
And when extreme old age shall come,
Say, who then will cheer thy home,
And watch beside thy bed of death,
And aid thy last expiring breathf
Perhaps nephew or niece
May close thine eyes when life shall cease;
But DER the dear, departed dead,
No tear of love will then be shed.

The question Is often asked OF us by
Western men, what inducements do
you propose to offer the. white labor
for which you cali SO iouda What
definite Inducements are you pre-
pared TO offer those able-bod.ed farm
hands who are willing to engage In
the work of restoring the wasted and
desolated fields of the South to their
former bloom and fertility? No man
will abandon certainty for an un-
certainty, or, as the prov6rb has 1t,
a bird In the hand Is worth two in
the BUSH" Northern farm hands
are not the best paid people In the
world; still they have enough to pro-
vide the necessaries If not the COM
forts of life. II you wish to enticc
them away from their homes In large
numbers, you must hold out to them
evidences Of how they will be benefit
ted by the change. Do you propose
to give them few acres out of your
large estate, that they may not have
to- toll in vain, but may have some
real property to which they can point
With pride as the result of their
labors? A few such would not DO
missed, while they would prove n
strong argument with the Northern
working class in favor of immigrat-
ing southwards. Then comes the
question of tenement homes. Many
of the small farmers who wish
to purchase lands and settle
amongst us lack the money required
to build houses 1or themselve Our
woods will furnish plenty oftimber-
are we ready to supply them gratis
with what they may want for such
purpose? In the meantime, It will
be no loss to us, and, In the end, very
profitable. For consider the in
creased value 1t will give to our prop
erty. Let twenty or more families
be established oil plantation of five
thousand acres; let each of them
have a farm of fifty to u hundred
acres, in all about ofe-third of tho
plantation. This they will be able
to break and put under cultivation
through the aid of their grown up
sons, while themselves will be en-
gagged on the remaining two-tl1irds,
and convert 1t into very garden of
plenty. What will be the effect? A
plantation which, at the very highest
estimate, is now not worth more than
fifteen thousand dollars, will COM
mand fifty or even one hundred
thousand dollars. Tho truth of
this statement will be readily
seen by any who may bcstow
moments thought on these two cir
cumstances of Increased population
and improved soil. If any planter
approves of this plan, and desires to
realize 1t, he can apply to any Of the
respectable Land Companies estab-
lished In the large cities of the South
and North. 1t were well II the land
owners of our Southland adopted
prompt measures to procure this heal
thy change In their condition. There
is q career OF happiness and prosperi-
ty before them, II they will only take
heart, and exert their inmate ener-
gies. Let sentiment of harmony
and conciliation again prevail, old
grudges be forgotten, and mutual eff
fort put forth in the North and the
South to heal over the wounds Of dis
astrous war.-Memphis Appeal.
