Some weeks ago gentleman Of this city was
arrested for having sold some stolen Govern
ment bonds, although there was every reason
20 believe that tho bonds had come into his
hands in the regular course Of business, without
ms having any reason whatever to suspect that
they were stolen. The affair seemed to us, at
the time, an outrage, and we so characterized
il. We observe that Judge Bedford, in charging
the jury in the case, yesterday, expressed the

"rnx MILITARY srlKr," says the Sun.
'to which aloHe Louis Napoleon is in,
dcbted for his ill-gottcn power. reduces
the masses Of the French to poverty, and
saddles burden Of taxes upon theal
which will cause the name ofits author to
be cursed, for generations to come, as the
most unscrupulous triaer with the welfare
off, great people whom the world has ever
known" ~
We had an impression that Louis Nap
oleon was in measure "indebtcd for his
lll.gotten power" to the votes Of about
seven millions of Frenchmen. But let
that pass. The Suns remarks about the
military spirit are sojust, and their ap-
plicability to our own country is so COM
plete, that we feel bound to express our
surprise and pleasure at finding them Ut
tered by radical journal controlled by an
editor who abandoned his desk at one
timeto become War Secretary and to
foster to the utmost this abominable
military spirit" The Sun thinks an
increase Of the "sums payable in intercs.
by France from pa, OOO,0 900 francs in
ls4s to 400, 100000 in 1867 quite
frightful. But the military spirit
which cursed this country with like in
crease, from about 100000 in 1913
to nearly $4,000, 900 in 1869 is not
mentioned. Upon our people rests a
burden Of taxes" far heavier than France
has to bear. Will not the names of its
radical authors also "be cursed for gcner
atoms TO come 2"

TENN ESSEX POLITICS,

N"S """s'' "'S"'HS' Sou'u aaIuIy haNe
imugped two months ago TINT such an ex-
traordinary change in public sentiment
and the political situation in Tennessee
would have occurred as has taken place
since then. This has been nomipally
brought about by the fierce and violent
dissensions in the radical party, and by
thepressure Of the increasing federation
and |iberali'y which prevail throughout
the country, Before the party strife can
be healed up, radicalism will havs los. its
power in Tennessee, and this bids fair to
be an accomplished fact before many
months, "
A few weeks ago the friends Of immc-
date franchise were satisfied, and had
t'citly agreed to support, for the lcgisla.
ture, republicans who were committed to
tho early removal of political disabilities.
Since then. however, the swift current Of
public events, involving the demoraliza-
ton Of the extreme radicals and the liber.
al system Of registration, have SO shaped
tue course Of opposition, that full fedged
Conservatives are likely to be nominated
for the Legislature, III most of the coun-
ties, with reasonable show Of success in
a large majority of cases. The fact that
in some counties there are half dozen
radical candidates, with contention and au
incorporating spirit, renders it the ca
.iest thing in the world to slip in Conser-
va.ives, which will undoubtedly be done,
1t is not at all improbable that majority
Of the uextLegislature will be Conserva-
tive, and this implies the election Of
Andy johnson to the United States
Senate. e.. .. .. 80
Matters have now gone SO far in the
suffrage extension direction, and the i'm
pctus is still so strong, that retrogression
is something in the nature Of an impossi-
bility, fact which will still further en-
holden the Conservatives in the pro-
grammc they have marked out.
The Virginia Legislature. according to
the returns received, will stand as fol-
lows:

It will be seen that in Virginia, the
mother Of States and Of statesmen, no lesa
than cighteen-ncgroes arc members ofthe

ginia have not become SO debased and de.
graded that ,tey would eleot negroes to
