maintained. Neither do they toll nor
do they spin, and yet Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of
these flashing at railway stations
in red bandannas in the bright
sunlight of these glorious sum-
mer days. We must infer from
these facts that the negro, as a free
laborer is a failure, that freedom, by
Gods laws, is as fatal to SambO as
civilization to the Red Man. The
prejudice of the poor against coolies
arises from facts developed by negro
emancipation. AS a citizen, the negro
has done his best and worst in Ten
nessee; as a free IabOrer, in the match
less fields of Eastern Mississippi. In
fact he is such a sublime humbug
that the people fear the incursion of
Asiaticsas Il inherent, ineradicable diff
ferences of race will fail to exempt a
country infested by Cinnamon from
untold evils that would befall Us if
SambO were a permanent instead of a
transitOry calamity. Tt is not that
small farmers of the South are " abOli-
tiOnised, p hut they far the very moral,
social and political evils from Chinese
immigration that came with the Afri-
can slave trade. This state of mind
will be corrected in time, and through
the mysterious workings Of Gods
providence this continent, already a
receptacle for every phase of European
civilization and thought, viii accept
still another infusion of character and
here the four ace of mankind, eau
%casian, Indian, African, and MOngO-
liam, will fight the last battle for su-
premacy and existence. The contest
between Japhet and Ham is deter
mined. SENTER's triumph is indica-
tive Of the coming end. The negro
has achieved his mission and now the
Asiatic begins his task in promoting a
still more glorious contamination. As.
the Chinaman is superior to the negro,
who has clothed and enriched and
civilized the white race, so the millions
of China viii take up the task where
the African abandOns it and perfect
the prOvidential scheme which the
negro inaugurated. Missionaries and
travellers tell us that a cotton shirt is
the savage's first patent of nobility
and his first advance towards chris
t~ianizatiOn. John Chinaman comes to
enshirt the universe.

WHERE poor whites 1--we in the
poor counties, 0fthe South, and where
negroes do. not constitute the 1ahorhig
population t01he exclusion OF whites,
the fields are thoroughly, cultivated
and the country is most attractive;
where lands are rich, fields broad and
the owners few, white men are ah-
known as tillers of the soil and every
thing goes to ruin. These are the in
evitabie results Of two different con-
ditiOns and systems Of labor. The
poor white man, on his little farm
among the hills, would have no lazy
or active competitor. His sons toll
c%ontentedly when labor is not de
graded by prejudices or facts Of race.
If negroes or Chinese come, the white
man becomes a master and the white
youth anidler. The rich land-holder
views these aets from adiferentstand

lands because laborers are few. He

THE question of the candidacy for
the State Convention is already begin
ming to be agitated, and the AraIanche
of yesterday suggests some names of
excellent men, from whom, or others
(of whom, fortunately for Tennessee,
we have abundance both in and out of
Shelby county,, we shall have no diff
ficulty in making the very best selec-
ton. Well now, suppose the COnyen-
ton to be ordered, candidates to be
selected, and the canvass to open.
What next? VIII not the issue of
negro suffrage be instantly raised?
Will not voters at once begin to de
mand of each candidate-"Ho 10y do
you stand; on the universal suffrage
platform. or on that of the great DEM
ocratic party of the Union; for negro
suffrage, or for white mans Govern
ment?" Our motto is, White men
shall rule America. We shall sup
port no candidate for the Convention
who does not stand square, out and
out, on the white mans platform,
without any equivocation or shutting
whatsoever. {" Principles not men,"
We care not how distinguished orhow
excellent the men who may be pre-
scented for the suffrage of the people,
if they viii not pledge themselves IN
qualifiedly to oppose, by all hOnora-
BILE and lawful means in their power,
the imposition and establishment of
negro suffrage as the permanent law
of the Constitution we shall oppose
their election. We shall have a Con-
vention, and the candidates to repre-
sent us will be soon in the field. The
issue, negro Suffrage OF no negro suf-
frage for the Constitution af Tennes-
see will at once be made-is already
made. There is no reason why it
should not be made and fairly and
fully discussed. The negroes are now
enfranchised on the face of the statute,
and subject to the decision ofthe Judi
cial department, it is true. The issue
to be decided is not that, but whether
the policy is eXpedient, wise and tor
the greatest good Of the greatest num-
Der that it should be engratted on the
supreme law of the State, for all time
to come, that the African newly
emancipated ace shall become mas
tiers and rulers in the State, while
many white Americans and intelligent
foreigners Of all nations are excluded
from the franchise. We are ready to
meet the issue.

The Nashville Banner declares
that il does not propose to revive the
name of % Wing" for a new party,
and asks why shall we be forced to
nscribe the name Democrat of all
others upon the white banner OF
equal rights under which we have so
recently achieved a victory SO signal
and decisive?" We answer that
there is no good reason for force at all.
He is at perfect liberty to do as he
pleases. The Conservative masses of
the South did unite under the name
" Democrat" for the Seymour can
vass, and that name is still retained
by the great body of our friends
throughout the country. Whychange
it, and call ourselves 9 Liberals " or
Universal S~ufiragers? Are we not in
fact all Democrats, whether we 90 by
that name or that of "Whig," " Lib
eraI," or anether9 What good rea-
son is there why we of the South
"shall be forced to inscribe" the
name of " Liberal" on our banner.
and get up a little tempest in a
teapot on our own hook? Is
the Banner SC a Wing, that to use its
own language, it "must dig like
ghouls into the dead issues of the past
and recall its horrid phantasmagoria
of war, ~depopulation, disaster and de-
feat?V How would the adoption of
the name Democrat do that any more
than the name Wing, or how rather
would the continued use of the name.
which, as a national organization, con
servatives have adopted and under
which they have so long acted, have
the effect to revive unpleasant recol-
lections or do mischief more than
another? The exceeding sensitiveness
of the Bdnner as to the use of the
names Democrat looks more to us like
Wing prejudice than sound sense. Is
there so much ina name, that one
under which he has acted for a con-
siderable time should have such a
hideOus look to his fastidiOus Wing
conscience? What does he mean by
the white banner of equal rights?"
We understand him to mean the black
banner Of negro suffrage. Or is he
really ON the white mans platforms
Does he want to put down Old
fashioned Democracy, which died just
about the time Whiggery went out?
Then we say the best plan to do it is
to join the new Democratic organiza-
ton which is the only national antag-
onist of the Radical party. Join it,
improve it, control il, and make the
best you can of it, instead of opposing
the only efficient organization with
which the South can act in her own

dread of retaliation will have a more
salutary influence than any regard to
the rights or feelings Of their OPP
pressed fellow men. Perhaps these
apprehensions r not altogether
without foundation. The day is
coming when the Democracy will
have its innings again, and those who
cling to prescription to the bitter end,
may possibly reap some of the fruits
they have soYn.

friends. And nearly all we have in
the North belong to the Democratic
party. We do not beheYeit will pay
to break with them only to set up q
little insignificant bantling of our
own, which no man will be able to

Wing, but SO much ado about a name
savors too much of the partisan to
suit our taste. That was too much
the fault of old Democrats, and the
worst part of Whiggery,

THE following is an extract from a
letter addressed to us by an infuen-
tial friend, who resides in Upton
county. He is one of the representa-
tive men of the district, and knows
whereof he affirms:
Isend enclosed complete list of vote
of Upton, taken from official returns.
Nothing new. People strong for Eth
eridge for United States Senate. We
are not half as strong universal suf-
frage as before the election. Well, we
are not bound to be universal. Blacks
voted against it with all their might.
Certainly our correspondent gives a
very strong reason fornot beings very
strong " universal" Is it not true
that the blacks voted against enfran-
chising the white man with all their
might?" A few, it is true, in cOnse-
quence of the split between Stokes
and SENTER, and their Radical house
getting into a quarrel and becoming
divided against itself, did vote on
the SENTER side. But who doubts
that if STOKES had been the unani-
nous nominee at Nashville, and the
negroes had not gone with the carpet
ers into something of a row among
themselves, that they would have all
gone for STOKES with a will, whether
he was fish, flesh or fowl? Gratitude,
forsooth, common gratitude!" Is
their conduct as ~sOvereigns for four
years trial, such as to demand graft
tude any more than it commands re-
spect? 1t is not gratitude we owe
to these barbarians, half redeemed by
slavery and American civilization,
but respect for ourselves. We owe.
them kind treatment, educational adj
vantages, and security to life, liberty
and property; but no vote, no office.
1t is not Il duty to make stewards of
the ~forecastle pilots and captains of
the Ship Of State. 1t is suicidal, dam
aging to them and to us, we shall run
on the rocks and all go down together.

The distinguished astronomer, Faye
(of Faye's cDmet), endorses a novel the
ory of DR.. Blandet. 1t is generally ad
mitted that the solar system originally
formed one vast nebula, from which the
planets were separated, and that the
great central mass gradually condensed
into the present bulk of the sun, which
even now, by reason of its fiery gaseous
envelops, is much sw. lien beyond the
bulk of its solid core. DIR. Blandet be-
lieves the sun did not reach its present
size till a period in geologic history, and
that in the carbeniferous period il was
still q nebula Al degre 8 in diameter;
that is, when fairly risen, the sun at
that time would have reached more than
half way from the horizon to the zenith.
Its light would have bseu q little vinlet
and very favorable to vegetation. The
heat need not have been much greater
than now, as it would have been diffused
through the whole mass, and by famil-
lar laws would have become subsequent
ly intensified by condensation of the
suns mass. This theory would explain
the occurrence Of a tropical carbonifer-
Gus flora in the polar regions, but not
the late discovery of an abundant Arctic
flora as late as the chalk il not the ter
tiary. 1t is curious that this theory, il
true, agrees with the Mosaic record that
the sun was not created till the fourth
deniurgic day; that is, till long after the
carbOniferous period.

csst tseshs Postal Service.

From an interesting table just prepar-
ed in the Post ONCE Department, show
ing the cost of the postal service per
capita with the amount Of revenue COM
pared with the expenditures, it appears
that from 1o4l to 1845 (old rates of pos
tage) the cost per capita was "A cents,
and the revenue of the Department was
81 per cent of its expenditures. From
1S45 to 1851 five and ten-cent postage)
the cost per capita % cents, and the rev
enue 8, per cent. From 1881 to 1855.
cost per capita 30 cents, and revenue 6.
per cent. From 1855 to 1868, cost per
capita so cents, and revenue IS per cent.
From 1883 to 1868, cost per capita so
cents, and the revenue again reached 90
per cent. of the expenditures. 1t would
therefore appear that the present uni
form rate Of three-cent postage has pro-
duced about the same proportion Of
revenue that the old high rates did,
while the accommodation afforded to
the individual citizen has been nearly
doubled in general extent with the same
increase al cost, producing q compound
ratio of advantage of about four to enc.
which may be considered as the numer-
ent system of postage as compared with
the old. In other words. the great in
crease in accommodation snd in the cost
of mail transportation, produced by the
rapid growth of railroad service, and the
extension of mail routes In the western
and southwestern Territories, together
with the additional change of all the
elements ofspecial accommodation, such
as postal cars, route agents, etc., the
prorata prcductiveness Of the cheap pos-
tage system, compared with the &C
companying expenditures, is fully equal
to that Of the cid high rate, and greatly
in excess Of the Intermediary or transi.
ton rates.

The maxim that 'every man is the

strikingly verified and illustrated in the

Very few of the fathers of our republic

son of q country farmer, and was rescued
from the occupat on of q drover only by
the shrewd observation of Christopher

in respect to difficulty arising from the

Eight or ten miles below Macon, Geor-
gia, there is historical spot known as
Browns Mound. 1t is surrounded by q
low, level country, and is the most ele-
waited point for many miles. There are
traces of q fortification upon it to this
day. The line Of breastworks can be
distinctly traced out. Various relics,
such as crosses, have been picked up OH
the mound, and as no army except that
of fernando De Soto ever passed through
Georgia, whose religious faith was that
of the Catholic Church, it is certain that
the works were thrown up by the troops
of that Spaniard. He fought many bat
ties with the Indians upon his march
from Florida to the Mississippi River,
and perhaps one akthis point.
