GRANT RERUKED.

1t is habit with acertain class of small
politicians beyond Mason and Dixon's line
to sneer at the chivalry of the South. Gen:
Grant was guilty of this bad taste the
other day when delegation of Virginians
called upon him to plead for the interests
and rights of their State. In the course
of the interview, he told them that ''man-
ufactures were better worth cultivating
than chivalry" Even the New York
Tribune has felt constrained to rebuke
Grant for this petty slur upon the mag
nificent civilization of the old cavaliers of
Virginia. The Tribune says:
''Gen. Grant, the other day, in effect
assured the Virginia delegation that
manufactures were better worth cultiva-
ting than chivalry.' Butwhile it is worth
their while to remember this, it is worth
ours TO consider that there was something
inherently good and worth saving in that
much laughed at chivalry. The Northern
new corners may bring capital, intelligence
and enterprise into Virginia, but they
should beware lest they ignore and destroy
something which is there as valuable as
any of these. Civilization is not more q
matter of railroads and factories than OF
honorable instincts, of pure domestic life,
of sincere hospitality and of gentle man
ners. The Northern people have suffered
themselves too much to judge of Vir-
ginia by her breeders, her blatant
politicians and would-be duellists. But
behind these was the great land-holding
population, a people simple hammered,
bearing the traces of generations of care
and culture; kindly, hospitable, genial.
Our crude and chaotic American social
life can lily spare so sincere and good a
type. 1t is these people whom we should
welcome back again, overlooking any
temporary bitterness among them. Judge
Underwood's words were eminently sensi-
bic and fifty spoken. We commend his
example to all new settlers in the South.
Let them couch their eyes in the begin
ming, and be willing to recognize among
their foes men "who bear without abuse
the grand old name of gentleman. A
friendly and pure social life is worth as
much as a stable government; and the
man who went with the heartiest, highest
motives into the war, will be most zeal
GUS now in establishing with his old
enemies the basis of a real and Christian
brotherhood"

THE CONSTITUTION.

We desire to impress upon the minds
Of our readers the fact that the Radical
vote Of the State will be cast solid against
t,o new Constitution. There is also a
Iarre Conservative vote that is not yet
rrcnared TO 20 for its ratification. In
short there is work 10 be done TO carry
,be ratification. That there are grave objec-
,ious to The proposed Constitution will not
10 ,,oi,said But of two evils We must
CHOOSE the less. If The new Constitution
ebould be adopted, we can hope soon to
correct the evils contained therein. But
;f; be defeated, we must abide the old
Constitution with all Of its Radical mi
o,,;,ies and enormities, with its odious
r-orcbise determinations, and with the
,ower of the Court to reverse the Browns
,,;rc decision, and again place under the
,,., of Acknowledgement those who were
Inv that decision relieved from their iile-
.,sIlv imposed disabilities.
The peW Constitution extends the right
s. s,ffrarc to every DISTINGUISHED white
,,an in tbe State. The present Constitu-
,;or disfranchises tens of thousands OF
our host citizens andleayes it inthc power
Of the courts to disfranchisc thousands
more Hence, notwithstanding the OBJ
So. -,-l,;cb are urged TO the proposed
Constitution. we feel that its defeat would
be public calamity.

The Cincinnati Commercial does not
think Benz. F. Butler is the proper man
for the nomination of its party fer the
Presidency. 1t holds up to the public
gaze the coming man of Radicalism in
the following manner:
1t is easier to make and canoniZe
saint than it will be to convince the people
of the United States that it would be ad
yantageous to make Benz. Butler, of Mas
sachusetts, President. AS disturbing
element in Congress, Ben. is well enough.
His audacity, his shrewdness, his sarcasm,
show to advantage in body not remark
ably brilliant or intellectual. But Ben.
has made some serious blunders in his
military and civil career, and they will be
remembered against him. His latest
blunder is manifestation of affected con-
tempt for newspapers We speak of it
as an affectation, because there is not a
public man in the country who is more
sensitive to their criticism, or more vul-
nerable. During the war, Butler aired
himself in the newspapers as often as pos
sible, kept shorthand reporter to take
note of his sayings and doings, and give
them to the army correspondents for pub

IMPoRTANT REsoLUTIONs.

The resolutions of Mr.. White of Haw
kins, which passed the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday by such large vote,
are considered very important in the de-
termination they manifest to head off
certain combinations which are reported
to have been formed by non-residents to
get control of important links in our
railway system. Louisville and Cincin-
natl have both kept very sharp lookout
for their own interests. 1t is certainly
high time that our people should do the
same. We are confident that our Legs
lature, representing as it does the people
of Tennessee, will not permit sacrifice
of their interests for the pecuniary adj
vantage of the cities or capitalists of
other States

Mr. GoIIAnAY,s CASE.

written. There is not, up to this day a
scintilla of proof that the member from
Kentucky did anything of the.sort. The
father of the boy was on the witness stand
for hours, and declared repeatedly that
there never was q consideration of any
kind or in any way for the appointment.
And it is perhaps due to MIR. Golladay TO
say that lie had previously made two APP
pointments, one of which did not come
up to the standard required, and the other
declined on account of i'll health, and that
his last appointment was made on the
recommendation of persons in his own
district Col. VIM. Brown, of your
State "a RADICAL, voluntarily appeared as
counsel for Mr.. Golladay before the com
mittee. He prints a card, correcting
some misstatements in the Chronicle, and
takes the occasion to declare his belief in
the innocence of the accused.
As an evidence of Mr.. Golladay's con-
seriousness of his own innocence he an
nounces himself as candidate for re
election to Congress. We have seen pr
waite letters from Washington, which
speak of the modification and indigns'
ton of the Radicals at the exposure Of
the corruption of some of their satellites
and of the determination of the Radica
leaders in the House TO use every possible
effort to implicate some Democratic mem
Der in guilt of the same character as tina
proved on Whittemore and confessed b.

THE TRANSIT OF VENUS.

Ii may seem strange that the Queen OF
England should deem it worth while to
announce to Parliament in message at
this time that arrangements have been
made for scientific observations of the
transit of Venus which will take place
Dec. 8, 1874. That she should have done
so is an evidence of the very general in
terest felt in England in the scientific in
vestigation of celestial phenomena, and
of the encouragement that the Crown and
its advisers wisely give to such exalted
pursuits. 1t is none too early for the
English astronomers to be preparing for
the rare and important event In fact,
they have been doing so for the past year
or two-the next transit of Venus having
been the subject of earnest discussion at
the sittings of the Royal Astronomical
Society and the British Association. Sta
tions have to be selected at remote and
widely separat ed points where the transit
can be most favora5ly seen, telescopes of
great power and other instruments OF sur
passing delicacy provided in sufficient
numbers, expeditions planned, observing
parties organized, preliminary surveys
made to determine the precise latitude and
longitude of the several stations, and a
great amount of work done, only known
and appreciated by astronomers, to insure
the perfect success of the undertaking.
The object of all this expensive and
troublesome labor is to ascertain the suns
distance from the earth-a comparatively
unimportant matter as some may think,
but one of the highest moment to astron-
omical science, as it enters into a multi
tude of calculations with regard to the
whole solar system. The transit OF
Venus, or the apparent passage of that
planet across the suns disk, furnishes the
best known opportunity of finding out
that distance.
The essential part of the process, says
the New York Journal Gf Commerce,
ia TO note The difference of time, as re-
marked by observers at different stations,
in the ingress of the planet "a good sized
black spoO on the solar disk, and also in
the egress Of the planet from the disk, and
also the different positions of the planet
On the background of the sun, in the
| course of the transit, as seen at the several
stations. These observations, taken IN
connection with the known difference in
the latitude and longitude between the sta
tions. supply data for calculating the
parallax of Venus and also the parallaX
of the sun, and thence the distance OF thai
| orb. The English astronomers propose
tohaye four distinct series of observations,
conducted in different quarters of the
globe, where the transit at the time
| of It's occurrence can be seen

exact moment of ingress, one set of OBJ
servers will be stationed at Owhyhec, or
the Marquesas Islands, or the Aleutian
Islands, or the mouth of the AMOR river
! Another set viii be watching the same oc-
currence at Bombay, Madras, Maurltius
or the Bourbon Islands. A third party

WHEN the old lady was told that her
servants were not negroes, but copper
colored persons, she exclaimed, "lt don't
make much difference about the color,
almost any of them will suck eggs" That
is the case with the Radical officials. The
Montgomery Mail complies from official
reports, table showing how the school
fund has been managed in Alabama, and
says: 'Tt appears by this table, the fig
ures of which are taken from official re-
ports, that in eighteen counties Of the
State alone the white childlen have been
plundered to the amount of Sl34, 4l4, and
that this sum, amounting to more than
one-third of the whole educational dis
bursements, has gone, half Of it to paying
hirh salaried officers, and the other half
to pay incompetent teachers of negro
schools. which are for the most part
swindles upon the school fund. " The
case was decidedly worse in Tennessee.

ExCOMMUNICATION OF THE FEE


His Holiness the Pope, on the 22d of
January last, issued his bull, by which
the Fenians are communicated. The
bull, as it appears in the European press,
is signed by D. Angelo Argent, prothon-
atory of the Roman Inquisition. The
Pope declares IN the bull that after having
taken the advice of the College, of the
Cardinals of the InquisitiOn, he had been
convinced that the American or Irish as
ISOLATION called Fenians must be counted
among the societies which, by the late
constitution of the Pontifex Maximus,
were forbidden and accommodated
This constitution was published on the
18th of October, 1869, and begins with
the words ApOstoLicB Sedjs. In para
graph the right to excommunicate is ex-
pressly reserved to the Pope, and it COM
prises Freemasons, Carbonaris, and SINH
lar societies, which operate either private
ly or publicly against the church. Those
also are included who abstain from
denouncing the chiefs and ringlead-
ers of such societies, if they know
them. 1t seems doubtful, says the st.
L ouis Republican, whether this bull will
have the effect of making the Irish
Fenians desist from their plans. Their
conspiracy" may appear dangerous to
the church, and therefore be anathemat-
lied by the supreme clerical authority.
But it is on the other hand also civil
action, which, as such, does not come
under the jurisdiction of the church, a
circumstance which in hundreds of similar
cases the church itself has acknowledged.
The relation in which the Pope stands to
the imperial government of France is the
most palpable evidence of this. Not only
was Louis Bonaparte CarbOnaro him.
self, but his whole government is
the offspring of revolution. And
vet the French empire is fully recog-
nized by the Papal See. The Fenians may
with much propriety avail themselves of
this and other similar cases, and the Col
lere of Cardinals would evidently have
done better to leave this matter with the
people themselves and to the civil suthori-
ties. The intentions of that college were
evidently the very best; but it is ques-
tionable whether it was good policy to
cast a doubt in the minds of people like
those of Ireland, who have stood so firmly
by the Catholic religion and the apostolic
see.
The London Tablet Of Feb. 5 gives the
text Of The decree as follows:
WEDNESDAY, Jan. u, 1S70.-Since it
has been doubted by some whether the
association of the Fenians is deemed to
be included among the associations which
have been condemned in the Pontifical
Constitutions, our most Holy Lord Plus

that many irregularities had taken place
in the reorganization of the Legislature
under the reconstruction act of Decem-
Der. but that it is not advisable for Con-

subject Incidenuy the committee de-
clare against the right of the State Of
