tail; and here is its conclusion:
"They dhe appointments) have been too
generally treated as coin for the payment

evince no very thorough knowledge of the
qualifications required for effective service
in the foreign field. The assignment is con.
spicuously the work Of a man new to this

THE Columbia Herald says: sit is
hard to conceive what political tenets
the old Wing party could boast of, as
every vital principle Of its existence
was extinct before the war made the
Democratic party obsolete. 1t would
be just as sensible to talk about living
the past over again, as to speak of re-
viving a party that has no vital prin-
eiple ofexistenee. Know Nothingism
killed Whiggery, and Secession was
the death of Democracy. There is no
lineal descendant of either party in
the South" Why, then, talk about
reviving either dead Whiggery or
dead Democracy? We know no M
who proposes to do it. Bat they who
want to get up a new (" Liberal" party,
s~o-called, would have US believe that
the live, new Democratic party is dead
too, in order that they may palm off
their own little bantling, the Liberal
party, and have the glory of its pater-
nifty. They win not succeed in such
an attempt to effect a national organi-
And to get up a small Ten
nessee party, on our own hook, viii

keep what we have, so long as WI are

The account given of the arrest OF

wears a different aspect as the facts
IRE reported in the New York papers.
1t seems that he was arrested for muir
Ter in Texas, and that the crime was
aggravated by forcing the safeguard
If United States troops. He was
gain arrested in New York by the
United States Marshal, w~hereupon
Judge MCCUNN issued his writ of ha-
oeas corpus, which was obeyed by the
Marshal; but upon the hearing PRATT
was remanded to the Marshars charge,
Who placed him in Jail. Judge Nc
CUNN threatening the arrest of the
Marshal for this act the President in
structed him to S force to prevent
arrest, if necessary. Judge MCCUNN
hen delivered his opinion that the
prisoner was held without warrant of
law, and ordered the arrest of the
Marshal for refusing to obey his order
.eOncering a prisoner arrested under
United States process. The Marshal
rests his defense on the case of ABLE
MAN VS.. BooTH, (2lst HowARDl
wherein Chief Justice TANEY held
that Estate Courts have no jurisdie-

THERE win be some important
changes made by the census Of 1870,
In 1880, the West was represented in
Congress by thirty members. In 1876
it will have eighty-two. Eastward, a
different result will be produced.
Thirty-eight members spoke and
voted for the Eastern States in 1910.
That representation will be reduced
to twenty-five in 1870. In 1910, the
Atlantic Eastern States, as divided
from the Southern, had one hundred
and nineteen Congressman; after 1870
they will have but eighty-six. More
than one-third of the next House of

GEN. NAGLE, who recently COM
mitted suicide in New York, was the
gentleman notorious from his gallant
espousal of the cause of Ireland's
liberation. From the New York
Herald we learn that he was born in
The county of Niagara, State of New
York, on September q, 1898, and was,
consequently. in his forty-frst year.
de received a fine education and
studied law with Gen. WILLIS HALL,
who entertained a high opinion of his
abilities. Notwithstanding the wish
If his friends to remain in the legal
profession, he entered a mercantile
.areer, in which he continued until
he outbreak of the war. Sur
'endering a lucrative position, he
Unlisted as a private in the Eighty
Eighth New York regiment ofthe Irish
Brigade, for which regiment he raised
company and commanded it with
distinction until the brigade was re-
organized in 1863. He subsequently,
Oined the STEPHENS wing Of the Pc
lian party, in the management of
which he took a prominent part.
Accompanied by Colonies WARREN
md COSTELLO, he sailed in the Jacmel
or Ireland, and in April, 1867, was
rrested at Dungarvan, county
Waterford, by the British govern
nent, for acts previously committedin
connection with Fenianism. After
suffering a years Imprisonment he
vas released and returned to this
country.

Nor long since we threw out the
inquiry whether there was not a way
to pay the debt of the city easier by
increasing it than by standing still.
In other words we asked whether we
were not becoming penny-wise. In
our yesterdays issue we brought has
thy before the minds eye the variety
of railroads, built and projected, and
which center, and will pour their pro-
ducts into this city. Let them be
built, as soon as it is in u power to
build them all, with the ample aid
which is thrust on us from other
quarters, and we think a population
| of one hundred thousand no extrava-
CANT estimate for 1875. Suppose then
we add to our three millions, present
debt of the city, two millions more,
for the purpose of building these
roads, and make it five millions
What then ? Will not our wealth be
doubled, and our ability to pay quad
rupled, and can we not pay the five
millions easier than by the do-nothing
policy we shall be able to pay the
three ? We find we are not alone in
this opinion. Besides, it is the con-
clusion of experience. The fact that
New York has been so much aggran-
died, and that Chicago and other
cities have been built up by such lib
eral policy to great proportions DEM
onstrates it. Our business is being
taken out of our hands by similar en-
terprise of others around US. Yet we
stand still. The do-nothing policy
is the death policy. Will not our
many enterprising men move in this
matter? We shall see. We would
not be unduly oficious, but as public
journalists, we feel that we ought to
speak on this subject, and ask in the
true interests of all the adoption of an
efficient policy. If Memphis, with its
unFivaled natural advantages, health
and means, does not become the great
est city of this valley it will be in con-
sequence of the unwise if not criminal
lethargy of its own people. That is
what we think. And we therefore
say it.

THE Cincinnati C6mmOner says the
best thing done yet for Ohio was to
nominate Mr.. PENDLETON; that the
signs r all for him, and that he can
stay at home and not open his mouth
during the canvass and be elected by
$1,000 majority. He has lately met
with a serious accident, confirming him
to his room, but from which he is now
fortunately recovering. The people
are "tired of taxes, sick Of taxes, dis
gusted with taxes" and demand q
change and reform. The policy, so
expensive, which dictates all the
waste, hatred, extravaganza and
Quixotlsm of the negro crusade" is to
be abolished. 1t is declared to be
I" the nefarious persecution of the
States and the impOverish-
ment of the Northern States" And
of Gen. HAYES, the candidate against
PENDLEToN, that fifty thousand
majority against negro suffrage is what
doOms him on this side of the Styx to
the fate of Sysiphus." The skies are
Frightening all around the horizon.

SENATOR MORTON, of Indiana, has
been selected bythe Radicals of Ohio
to open the campaign in that State, in
favor of negro suffrage. In 1865, the
same Senator made a speech at Rich
mond, Indiana, in opposition to this
measure, and the Cincinnati Enquirer
publishes the main points of that eff
fort. Thus Senator MORTON in 1869,
will have to answer Senator MORTON
in 1865. There has been a change,
says the Philadelphia Age, but the
Senator is like a Radical candidate for
the Legislature in Wisconsin, who af
ter laying down a long list of views
upon national and State affairs said,
them is my opinions, but they kin
be altered. The Senator's views
have been altered.

ONE of the more voluminous cor

some unusual work for the coming

poses that this body shall regulate the
laws of landlord and TENANT and
modify the lien laws" These mat
tiers have been regarded as more prop
erly within the sphere of legislative
action. If these topics are to be con-
sidered, why not others on the same
level? We fear that our Constitu-

range, will sit en- peTmdneace. We

A CONTEMPORARY Sagely remarks
that "a moral cowardice, a desire to
shirk all responsibility in the hour of
danger, and to be in condition to fall
upon the side made triumphant by
resolute men, is the besetting sin of
the age" Butt is it to be always thus2
Are we nosooner to crush out one VEN
omous swarm of proscriptionists than
another swarm shall spring into life
on the victorious side. Are we never
to have peace? VIII the country new
er have rest? Let us wait and see.
The above is from the Nashville
Banner, which assumes to be the
+" leader" of the new Liberal par
ty-a small affair to be gotten up for
Tennessee especially. How does the
Banner illustrate the sage remarks of
its contemporary by its own action?
Is it not in for the besetting sin OF
the age?" Does it not essay to "fall
upon the side made triumphant by
resolute men," and to lead these reso-
lutte men, even going so far as to die
tate their name for new achievements,
after they have won the victory? 1t
strikes us as singularly unfortunate as
a quotation, especially for the Banner,
now selfdenominated the "lead-
ing paper" in Middle Ten
nesse. 1t is a paper OF
very good ability. But that only
the more forcibly illustrates the fact
that even men of sense sometimes
make rather vain pretensions, and
often fail to see the beam in their own
eyes, especially when they happen to
be busypulling out the NOTES from
the eyes of others. Now that one
"venomous swarm Of prescription
lists" has been crushed out, what Is
that other swarm which is about to
"spring into life, on the victorious
side?" We have seen no such crea-
lures in this quarter. What is the
matter in Nashville? Are they about
to get up big tempest in a teapot "
over there? Have the Banner folks
swarmed? Or have the few "Liber-
ais in Nashville got sin a stew "
and gone to swarming to the terror OF
our neighbOr?
