IT is a great disappointment to the
Radical usurpers in Congress that they
cannot cover up their own infamies in
the b~ribe-taking line, by proving
something on some one Democrat or
other. But so far their efforts have
proved wholly unavailing. VOORHEES,
escaped their Vaccinations u~nstained
and pure as the snow, and Golladay
has not a whit more been defled by
them. Neither of these gentlemen
were ever capable of selling a cadet
ship for any purpose, notwithstand-
ing they are breathing the contain
mated air of Washington City, which
c~ountenances the reception of brides
when party ends can be promoted by
it. Roderick Random Butler was re-
lieved from expulsion for that rea-
son, Notwithstanding the proof
was made dead on him which
was sufficient to produce the
expulsion of Whittemore. After all
there is no rule for the action of Con-
gress but the party interest. White
more would not have been expelled
any more than Butler, or Ames re-
fused a seat, if party could have been
served by a course different from that
which was taken. This is so apparent
now that Congress is disgraced before
the country. As the New York Iri-
61ne declares, so long as Butler re-
mains a member, so long will Con-
gress have a badge of shame on its
shameless brow. Butler could not be
expelled without the risk of a Demo-
crat being returned in his place. But
WhittemOre could, and Ames also
refused his seat without in
curing that danger +; and so
the milk in the ~coacoanut is ae-
counted for. Thus the brand is put
on, and the Congress can never es-
cape from it, however the infamy may
be hereafter alleviated by repentance
and reform alton.
1t was said that Golladay had made
a technical oversight in selecting a
nonresident cadet, when the law re-
quired the appointee should reside in
his district, but nobody ever believed
either he or Voorhees, had entertained
a corrupt thought on the subject. Col
laday, indignant at the charge, i'm
petuously resigned his seat, which
fortunately, the Governor refused to
accept. His first impulse was to ap-
peal to his constituents for vindica-
ton, rather than to a Congress which
acted exclusively IN the rule of party
advantage, without reference to the
right. But his resignation having
been refused by the Governor, so clear
was his case, and 50 unspotted his
character that even the partisan Radi-
cal committee, which would gladly
have expelled him on a slight pretext
was driven to exonerate him, and
did so to save their own bacon. But,
while they have escaped by the ac-
quittal of two innocent men, they
have also been disgraced by the ac-
quittal of the guilty Butler. Their
record is blackened fOrever-their
own friends, the Tribune, the Times
and the Commercial, themselves be-
ing judges

THE impression exists that some
will vote against Mr.:;Reilly, to-day,
because he is an Irishman. WedOubt
it,so far a white people are concerned,
because we are unwilling to consent
that they + stupid enough for that.
We abhor the test of nationality, and
we hope non will make it among
candidates, for or against Irishmen or
any others, now or hereafter. Igno-
rant blacks may DO it. But thinking
and cultivated whites win see that no
such criterion is endurable. The dues-
ton about Riley, to-day, is whether
he is qualified and a good man-not
where he was born. He has been
nominated by our Convention, and all
the proof We have goes to show that
he is at least IS well qualified for the
Office Of county clerk as any other man
in the city. We know of no sufficient
reason why any Democrat should
vote against him.

To the Voters of Tennessee: We have
read with approval the letter of Mr..
Maynard to NJ. L. Mcconnell, Esq,
of the 9TH inst, in relation to the new
constitution, and We unite with him
in urging our friends, and the friends
of order and of q Just and stable gov
eminent in the State, to use their in
fiuence and their votes to prevent its
ratification. 1t is not for US to speak
in the name of the Federal authority,
or to intimate, much less to threaten,
its probable action. But the action
toward Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi,
Texas and the other Southern States,
.would seem plain enough for all to
understand that the Government will
not abandon its friends of either color,
or see them subjected to the control of
their enemies.
w. G. BROWNLOW,
w. b. STOKES,
W. T. PROSSER.
LEWIS TILLMAN,
W. J. SMITH.
r. r. BUTLER,
SAM'L NJ. ARNELL.
The above circular was read by
Colonel j. B. Heiskell at the ratifca-
ton meeting Saturday night. Is not
that a precious set of men to threaten
a State, and that, too, the State which
has a right to instruct them, and
whose interests, views and wishes
they profess to represent? Brownlow
has seven devils in him, and all the
rest are after the spoils. They are
anxious to retain places where they
can take brides, if they cannot handle
the public moneys. They "unite"
with Mr.. Maynard and ''our friends"
the spoilsmen-of course they do.
Falsely pretending to be "friends Of
order and of a just and stable govern
ment," they object to the new con-
~stitution without being able to as
sign a good reason, or having a
which they dare assign
why it should not be adopted. They
ask their !" friends" to vote it down,
because it protects the people against
their peculations, and lets in so many
honest men TO vote that they will
have aghost of a chance for office
more. They say they are not author
lied to threaten" the probable ac-
ton" of the government. That we
knew well enough before. But they
manifest as much anxiety that the
government should take their
50 enemies" in hand as so many
thieves on the way to the gallows. The
fact is an argument TO all honest men
to go to the polls to-day and vote for
the Constitution. This is infinitely
the most important matter to be at
tended to to-day.

WE have not heard a word of oh.
lection from any respectable quarter
to the nomination Of Captain Harvey
Mathes, whose name has just been
placed on the ticket for Collector of
Privileges. Although but a few days
on the track, we look for his election
by a handsome majority. Thanks to
the Yankee guns, he has but one leg.
But he has two arms, good sense, high
integrity, and ample qualifications.
No objection a be fairly made to
him whatever. He is of a high order
among gentlemen, and the soul of
honor. Democrats will vote for him
with pleasure.

W. D. STRATToN, like Woodward,
was born here. He bears upon his
person the proudest title to honor and
a sure guaranty of worth. His I'M
affected modesty, excellent good sense,
clerical skill, and untiring energy rem
der him thoroughly well fitted for
the office to which he aspires. There
is no heraldic blazonry or coat of arms
so honorable as that which Mars has
carved upon the person of Mr.. STRAIT
ton. He is generous and brave and
deserves a triumphant election.

ACHILLES WOODWARD, the imper-
sonation of loyalty to personal friend
ships and to partisan obligations, the
body and soul OF the local Democratic
organization, the tireless toiler OF
the sea- of politics, the clear-headed
organizer of combinations which have
been rarely defeated-this gentleman
will surely consolidate the whole
strength of the party in his support.
If men falter in other instances there
are none to hesitate when Mr.. Wood
ward asserts his claims to partisan
and personal confidence and gratitude.
To his labOrs, as much surely as to
those of any citizen, we are indebted
for local redemption from the clutches
of Radicalism. OF a truth, he is a
traitor to his party who fails to sup
port the embodiment of unsullied De-
mocracy in the person of "Chiel"
Woodward.

JOHN MCBRooKs is the smiling,
good-humOred, warm-hearted candi-
date Of the suburbs. The Ninth and
Tenth wards and the eastern and
southern districts of the county deem
Notebooks a paragon Of human excel

Shelby county-at least he is unsur-
in those qualities of the head

6dence and friendship. Vote for him
as a man and as a true Democrat, and
in doing this youdo honor to yourself,

FOR THE CONSTITUTION.

THEY who vote againstEthe new
Constitution to-day will go with
Brownlow, Maynard, Stokes, Smith,
Prosser, Fletcher, Tillman, Butler

the white race. Even the negroes are
pledged not to do that. They have
always said they were willing white
should vote. And honest negroes

AN article in the st. Louis Rsp,a


can says:
Memphis, small though she be,
courts not only the trade OF Arkansas,
which she now commands to a great
extent, but she is reaching out enter
prising hands to Missouri, with the
view Of taking trade from the very
door of st. Louis. She is striking out
boldly to secure the extension of the
Kansas City Railroad to Hopefield, in
Arkansas. Hopefield is the terminus
OF the Memphis and Little Rock Rail
road, is opposite Memphis, on the
western bank of the Mississippi river.
and is hOpelessly submerged, together
with the territory for ten miles in its
rear, whenever the great river
OverfiOWs its banks. Helena, situated
on the highlands of CrawIey's Ridge
is the natural and proper terminus of
the Kansas City road. CrawIey's
Ridge extends from the Mississippi
northwest toward the Iron Mountain.
and is simplya broad continuous in
clined plane rising at the rate of two
feet in the mile. A railroad along
this almost level plane from Helena
to the Missouri line would be $40
miles in length, lbs miles of which,
according to the reconnaissance of a
competent engineer, would consist of
tangents, no heavy cuts, no rocks to
blast, only one stream to bridge and
with a grade coinciding generally with
the surface.
That story is very plausible, and
the purposes of the writer might be
accomplished if Memphis were stupid
enough to stand still, with folded
arms, while st. Louis and Helena CO
operate for u overthrow. Very GER
Memphis has manifested a
seeming indifference touching these
matters; but when Beast Buffers
schemes are thwartsd, the new State
constitution adopted, and property
and personal rights are deemed Sc
cure, Memphis viii extend at once
