crime. Too great severity produces
uncertainty and a lax administration
of the law, and human nature cries out
against all penalties disproportioned
to offenses. You might as well hang
John Chinaman for idolatry as soon
as he gets into your jurisdiction assend
a negro to the Penitentiary for five
years for stealing a hog worth more
than twenty dollars. Although not a
Radical, and never having taken the
negro especially under u wing, we
demonstrate against the enforcement
against the negroes Of such penalties
as the whites deserve. Is it not re-
markabIe, while the whole Radical
rabble is shouting and exulting over
the swift executiOner and death deal
ing HUDSON, and applauding his
seventies and cruelty to the
blacks that the victims them
selves should praise him and
swear by the Radical party and glory
in the headsman who Yields the axe?
Is it not remarkable that the negroes
should tie to HUDSON and the Radical
party, when neither have any thing to
give them but fair professions, while
Conservatives with few words give
them many kind acts? We may not
be able to teach them our friendship
by arguments. But they are begin
ming to see that the acts of the good
Samaritan are better than the prom
ises Of Office hunters. They will yet
learn that good Government, mild
laws and common protection are bet
ter for them than pearls and diamonds
and the profession of a franchise they
know not how to use.

OUR friends generally intend to
make SENTER shots to-day. We IN
derstand SENTER to be more q friend
Of Acknowledgement and justice than
STOKES, besides being a more respect
able man in his private character.
We do not wonder, when two such
reasons combine in favor of a candi-
date, that cur friends should vote for
him. And as sENTER is certain to be
Governor, we only demand that he
should make a good one. 1t rests
with himself whether he viii be high
ly or but poorly esteemed by the in
telligent citizens of Tennessee.
The Conservative nominees for the
Legislature are good men, and we
trust, will be elected. More depends
on the Legislature than on the Gov
ernOr. The repeal of ubiquitous, and
substitution of good laws, is a first ne
cessity.
The public object is of the first and
ONeIShdtOWing importance. We say,
therefore, let no man who favors re-
form fail to vote for the ticket which
is pledged to it. To say that one or
more Of the candidates is not to your
taste, or is imperfect for some reason,
is to give an excuse for falling to vote
which will prove wholly insufficient
in ase of a defeat for the want of it.
Let no Conservative think about ex-
cuses, but about voting and the great
and indispensable public end to be
obtained. Wedonot think any reason,
short of inability to vote should be
held sufficient by anybody, and we
all business viii be laid down to-
day and that every legal vote of the
will be polled.

RETURNS from Mobile indicate the
election to Congress from the First
District Of Alabama, of Col. W. D.
MANN, proprietor of the Mobile Reg
iSter. This is good news for two rea-
sons. First, because Alabama, in the
person Of MANN, has a gentleman of
ability to represent her true interests;
and secondly, because the majority he
has secured indicates that the back
bone of Radicalism in Alabama
has been broken. Such good news
should inspire the Conservatives of
Tennessee to work vigorously for a
ike victory.

WHAT'S the reason that we have in
Memphis neither a public library, nor
public literary and scientific lectures?
Are we all so well informed and edu-
Gated as to need none Of these things?
We should suppose those who forbid

to sustain a series of public lectures for
the fall and winter months. If we
have not enough lecturers they might
be procured from abroad at no large
expense.

A CLOSE and attentive examination
Of the act of 1862 prohibiting tne CooIie
trade, says the New York Herald,
will show that it makes mention only
of persons and vessels transporting
Chinese Coolies to some port foreign
to the United States. Mr.. boutwell,
will, therefore, have to fGFEsss his in
dignatiOn at the project and subside.
He cannot stop the immigration of
Chinese any more than that of the
Germans of the Irish. we give him
credit for sincerity in his efforts 10 do
so; but there are things even the Rad
zeal party cannot do, startling though
the fact may be TO him.
