ment. Minister Washburne gave a reception
in Paris, in honor of Washington's Birthday,
and the most conspicuous decoration of the
rooms, according to our foreign files, was
white muslin banner inscribed, " Washington

any rate history, like Artemus Wards remark
about julius Caesar, "Alas, he is no more;s
but the unprecedented mind will naturally in
quire why the narrowing intelligence should
be thus abruptly proclaimed in moments OF
revelry. and the funeral baked meats be made
TO coldly furnish forth the birthday festivals
We all remember that uncomfortable banquet
at which a grinning skull was regularly offered
among the courses as reminder of mortality,
We remember, also, the tears of Mark Twain
over the tomb of our first father Adam.
Which of those two illustrious examples tho
Partisan banner most forcibly calls to mind we
are hardly prepared to say, but we rather think
it is Mark Twain.

At last Mr.. MOrtons Neutrality bill has been
reported to tho Senate with the assent. it is
understood, even of Mr.. Sumner. This bill es-
scntially reviews the law of 1918, which
was unexpectedly found dead some time be-
fore the departure of the 30 gunboats,
Whereas the law of 1918 provided against
the fitting-Out of vessels to make war on any
"district, colony or prople," Mr.. Morton's Neu-
trality bill promises that no such ships shall
be equipped and sent out in the service of
any European prince or State for the pur-
pose of subduing American Colonists claiming
independence. This is a distinction with
out a difference. Mr.. Morton's bill is, in
fact the reaiiirmaton Of a fixed, traditional
principle of tho country. Action upon it ere
this would have better pleased us, and would
have more aptly responded to the earnest
sentiment Of the country. Nevertheless. we
shall not complain that the Senate Committee
has announced the very simple principle that
if we cannot nationally help Cuba, we certainly
will not help Spain.

Gen. Buffers anxiety to define what kind of ,
newspaper he is superior to is not unnatural
considering the manner in which his now ia
nous estimate Of himself was received by the
world. There are newspapers and newspapers;
and Gen. Butler says that respectable members
of the press can as easily be distinguished
from the bad ones as rascally lawyers from re-
spectacle members Of the bar. More easily,
we hope. Whatever a newspaper is, it is IN
full sight of mankind; but there are some
rascally lawyers who, after long life OF
wrong doing. are still classed by most people
with the honest men of their profession. But
the General kindly explains his meaning al
last, SO that there can be no further miScon-
ception. AS the declaration now stands, it il
to the following effect: If there is anything
:" on earth that I am superior to, it is
newspaper man who swindles hotels and
" boarding houses, deadheads on railroads, and
" imposes generally on the public" To that
we can make 10 manner of objection.

Outside of the cOmmittee-room there has
been little serious thought in Congress of TAX
ing possession of the telegraph lines of the
country A great deal of time and money has
been uselessly spent in consideration of the
Postal Telegraph bill, and in the interest OF
economy the further inquiry ought to be
stopped, since the late indications on the part
of the House. On Monday it refused, by the
decisive vote of 70 to Al, to authorize further
general Investigations of the subject. We hope
Mr.. Washburne will take the hint and drop
the matter. After the recent experience in
Great Britain the House has evidently made

but what there was of evidence told strongly
for the prosecution, while the arguments of
the defense against the validity of the COM

better than all else, it would revive trade, now

THE FEDERAL COURT.

The Press and Herald and Wing have
had great deal to say about the revenue
cases clogging the docket of the Federal
Court and delaying the business pending
there, to the annoyance and injury of liti-
giants. 1t is intended 10 make pOlitiea
capital of such charges, and ~ they have
chosen to drag this matter of the business
of the Circuit and District Courts before
the public for unworthy purposes, we deem
it proper to state the facts. There are not
enough cases on the dOckets Of both Courts
to delay any important litigation, if the
business was disposed of with dispatch and
ability. The Courts, while in session, cost
the Government about four hundred dollars
per day. Our experience has satisfied Us
itliat for the past four terms all the business.
done duEing a session Of five or six weeks
could have been done IA well in One-thrd
of the time. The short daily sessions OF
thcCourt are not an accommodation to either
the attorneys or the litigants When the
Court is in session parties interested prefer
10 wOrk, and it is certainly to the interest
Of the Government that while it is Mt such
an expense the time should be improved to
the best advantage, This i a complaint
made also at Nashville and Memphis, and
~ we have been forced To notice the sub
ject, il is well perhaps that the truth should
he known.

A FAMILY JAR.

The Nashville Union ard 1mericGa, af-
ter reading the attacks of the Memphis
1rd,dBchc, Ncars State Gazette, and other
Journals of the so-called Conservative per-
suasion upon eX-President johnson, and af-
ter referring to the assaults upon the De-
mocracy made by the Jackson wing, Nash
Vile Banner and Lebanon Herald, all of
which papers ardently support General
Brown for Governor, says:
" All ofthese papers are urging the claims Of
Gen. Brown as their candidate for Governor.
They permit no occasion TO escape of attacking
ex-President johnson. They are violent in their
denunciatons of the observation-disclosures por-
ton of the Democracy. Indeed, we know OF no
fragment of the Democracy that receives their
approval or conformation. While Gen. Brown
does not endorse their policy yet he Is thrust
prominently forward a. their candidate; they
are for him because he has not the smell of eth
er the johnson or Harris-SeressiOn-D Democracy
on his garments
" His success, will be claimed as theirt triumph.
He therefore, cannot expect Democrat, who
sympathised either with eX-Prcsident johnson
or Gov. Harris to yield their support to him,
while his organs, those who claim to be phT er-
ceiieHce his champions, are taking advantage of
every occasion, relevant or irrelevant, TO lnjure
them in public estimation. If the old Democrat
cy nre forever to be made the hewers Of wood
and drawers Of water to some modern Joshua,
they had well begin to look out for them
selves.
1t will thus be seen that the old-linc De
mocracy do not much relish the tone of the
diluted Democratic press, and do not pro-
pose to submit to it. There is not much of
disposition manifested to reconcile these
differences either, for Democracy is too
strong to be tempered with.

DEMOCRACY DEFINED.

The Democracy profess to yield to the
great principles settled by the war, and to
the amendments of the Constitution which
the people have decided was necessary to
define and establish what those principles
We're The Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments have been duly ratified and
are now Il part of the organic law. The
former imposes upon the original secession
lists and leaders of the rebellion, certain
serve TO remind them of their great
wrong.
The Fifteenth Amendment guarantees
TO the colored man the right of suffrage in
every State in the Union.
1t is against the validity and finality of
these amendments that Tennessee Democ-
racy, as eXpounded by its honest, fearless
organs, is arrayed. The large majority of
the old Democratic party in this State, still
hold the whip in their hands, and they
propose TO use it. The following is their
platform, as eXpounded by the Memphis
Appcdi:
7, the question, - Is an open, perpetual wal
against these amendments a test of Democra-
cy? we answer yes. 1t is IA test of honestly
and that is the best present test of Democracy
The Fourteenth Amendment wrong. individu-
ais, and the Fifteenth the State Both are
crimes against which the Democracy proclaim,

and turn submissioni,t if he viii While We
command the columns of free press, we shall

wrongs which have broken the plighted faith
of the government and restrained the cOn-titu.
tional liberty Of the people.

THEN AND NOW.

The map of Europe, geographically, re-
mains the same. The same Alps and
Apprentices lift their snow peaks to the
sun. the same rivers course down to the
Mediterranean, the Baltic and the Atlantic
as in days of old. The nations, too, retain
to considerable extent their respective
characteristics in form, feature and man
ners, despite the changes wrought by civil
lization.
But the respective powers and positions
of European nations is strangely altered
Centuries ago, the boot-shaped promontory
of Italy, stretching down between the
Adriatie and the Mediterranean, domino
ted Europe. The great Caesar, whose abil-
ity to both fight and write so excited the
admiration of Miles Standish, begins his
history with the words, All Gaul is divi-
ded into three parts" The blue-eyed and
fair-haired warriors of then barbarous Ger
many found their undisciplined valor and
imperfect arms unable to withstand the
fearful crash of the filum hurled by the arm
of the legionary soldier, or the desperate
thrust of the Roman headsword. On the
misty isle of Britain, too, the Roman eagles
scared triumphant,and the gallant warrior
Queen, Boadicea, dying amid her half-clad
and savage warriors, hurled at the invading
Roman the scroll containing the prophecy
of the final glory of Britain and humilia-
ton of Rome.
Our own country was an undiscovered
wilderness far beyond the broad ocean,
which as yet no European Prov dared at
tempt to cross
Look at the state of affairs to-day. From
Gaul and Germany, two large armies with
all the fearful enginery of modern war
fare have gone forth, each with mighty
and civilized nation at its back, to try the
dread arbitrament of battle. Poor, dis
tracted Italy views with alarm the contest
she is powerless to materially aid or hinder
and the frightened representative of St
Peter, trembling in the Vatican, begs the
French Empress for 'only one ship OF
war; to protect him from the uprisings OF
the people.
And where Boadicea died, Il mighty ma
ton, secure and powerful, watches the con
fest. ready, if need be, to throw the terri
BILE weight of her sword into the balance
The prophecy is realized and the hero
queen we'll avenged.
