MANUFACTURING AND AGRICULTURAL IN
TERESTS.

One of the sOphistries made use of by
Free Traders il, that protection to manu-
features tends to build up dangerous mo-
nopolies, and discriminates against large
and influential class of our people i'm favor
of smaller class. The tariff question is
one upon which great deal may be said
on both sides; but how any reasonable
man can argue before an intelligent people
that the erection and protection of manu-
features, (for they must be protected if they
are expected to exist appears to us incom-
prehensible. We are at loss to know
from what standpoint they view this mat
ter, that such a strange and uncomfortable
idea is the result of their observations.
Where do we go to find the most highly
cultivated farms, and the most remunera-
tive TO their owners? Not TO the remote
districts, where only such commodities are
produced a. Will bear distant carriage, and
which cannot be had in the market for
which they are destined at a lower price
and of better quality from lands nearer
the market. Not at all, but in the neigh
borhood of populous cities and manufac-
| turing districts, where the cultivator is
able to devote every field of his farm to
just such crop az it is~Hyell adapted, and
his whole farm to advantageous rotation
in crops. In such locality the farmer
| may cultivate the utmost variety of pro-
ducts; vegetables, poultry, milk, butter,
fruit, and "a hundred articles which he who
| lives remote from market regards as insig-
nificant For all these articles, he who
resides near the market can always receive
remunerative price. Where do we go to
find high-priced farming lands? Where
ever there is "A manufacturing population.
Why is il that the population of Eastern
Tennessee has not increased in the last
half century in the same proportion as
other localities leS1 favored? Why is IL
that 50 many of our people have gone to
| the Western States adding wealth and
prosperity to communities where they have
settled? Is il not for the reason that there
was no demand for their labor here, they
desiring TO engage in agricultural pursuits?
Give the necessary protection to Inanufac-
lures, and we will see no more of this.

DESPERATION.

We hear it suggested that the Legisla-
ture, when it re-assembles next month,
will re-district the Chancery Divisions and
Judicial Circuits of East Tennessee so as
to secure a Democratic partisan Judiciary
throughout. We are not surprised to hear
that such a policy is to be pursued. The
removal of our present Judiciary was
partisan scheme, and there is no inconsist-
ency in the plots to supplant them by
similar movement. We think the people
of the State will give the proper rebuke to
such shameful partisanism when the cleo
ton comes. We look upon it as proof of
the desperate straits into which Democracy
is now placed

COL. KE1rHs CONTAMINATION

If the present Judiciary of our State had
not been removed because of their sympa-
thy and devotion to the Government or If
a partisan scheme was not on foot to sup
plant them, we could agree with Col. Keith
in his appeal to disregard all party ques-
tons and vote for men ard not political
principles in the coming judicial election.
We endorse Judge Young personally as an
estimable man and good lawyer, even
though we do not agree with him politi-
cally. Under ordinary circumstances we
could afford to let Mr.. Keith's compliment
tary notice stand without comment. But
as we understand the coming contest is to
be on the part of the Democracy partisan
effort, we cannot on our part ignore party
lines, or in justice to our Republican friends,
who will in due time announce their names
for Judge, permit our readers to suppose
that we endorse Judge Young politically.
If party lines are to be ignored on both
sides, we will throw open our columns to
the friends of all the candidates, and sub
NIT their communications without COM
ment.

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE CoIoRED RACE.

III IncTe Is any pap
State that is more obsequious or spoony
over our colored friends, about election
day, than the Press and Herald of this city,
we do not know of 1t. The simon-pure,
original abolitionist never saw so much
humor or wit in the negro character; so
much beauty and symmetry in the col
ored gentleman's heel !" so much fashion
and attractiveness in his frizzeled and
wavy hair" or so much good generally in
"our coiored friends" as does this Jealous
convert to Democracy, about the time OF
election.
On all other occasions its editor stands
back on his reserved rights and superior
birth and chivalry, and looks upon the
"nigger" as an inferior being, belonging
to the kitchen and stable cabinet" He
thinks now that a white man ought to be
insulted at the idea of a "nigger " voting,
AID that the Southern people are greatly
Inundated at the idea of ga dirty, greasy
niger holding office" We think our
neighbor deserves some credit for frank
ness in showing its real feelings at TINS
time. The account it published of the eel
ebration of last Wednesday shows unmis-
takably its hatred and malice towards the
colored race. 1t could not forbear mani
testing it even on such an occasion. 1t was
highly proper that the colored people
should celebrate so important an event to
them as the adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment in the manner they did. 1t
was great and significant event in their
history. 1t secured to them rights and
privileges which Heretofore had been de-
MED them in many States, and secured to
them by an uncertain tenure in most
others. 1t conferred upon them by a most
solemn and binding amendment of the
| fundamental law of the nation the right of
| suffrage--a right which is doubly dear, az
! it serves them at once as a protecting shield
and powerful weapon. The transition
| from decade back is one of the most re-
markable and marvellous ever known in
the experience of governments, and having
takeY place without a sIbversion of the
| Government or even II material change in
its form or principles, illustrates in strik-
ing manner its adaptability to a democracy
| in its largest and fullest meaning. Is il
wonderful that the final contamination OF
"a transition which converted them from
slaves TO citizens, armed with full rights
and privileges, should have been deemed
worthy of being signalized or commence
rated by professions with music and ban
ners, or by quiet and orderly demonstra-
tons of joy and thanksgiving? Is there
any doubt but that malice and hatred
rankles in the hearts that could make mirth
and ridicuie of such heartfelt gratitud,
| and rejoicing? Can there be any doubt a:
to which feeling for the colored man is tn,
professed or which the real one? A hear
bitter enough or prejudiced enough to MAKE
sport ofthe songs of praise and rejoicing o
a race, marching up out of bondage ant
degradation to freedom and n full manhood
can have but little sympathy or interest il
its encouragement or welfare, and so we ar
persuaded our colored friends will believe

THE coLoRED MANS FRIEND.

We indulge in nothing far-fetehed when we
say that the Southern people will, in tie end,
prove TO be their best friends"
The above is from the Wig, the italics
its own.
If by the Southern people" the Wing
means the Southern Democrats, we quite
agree with it that it will be g in the end y
that the colored man will learn that they
are his best friends. We believe there is
such doctrine as death-bed repentance re-
cognized among orthodox Christians. The
death-bed repentance of the class the Wing
refers to will be the first proof of their
friendshipth the coloredpeoplewi eyerhave.
We quite agree with the Wig, then, in
believing that "b, the end " the Southern
Democrat may prove himself a friend 20
the colored race.

SCHOOL MONEY.

a refreshing article appeared III the col
umns of the Press and Herald of Friday
last, headed 1.-THE Educational Interest of
Tennessee, in allusion to a published card
by the Comptroller, which will be found
elsewhere in our columns, announcing that
he is now ready to issue warrants to the
Trustees for the school money due the re-
spective counties of the State for the years
1868 and 1853. We rejoice at even this
tardy disposition to do partial justice to
the faithful teachers of the State, But the
GOODNESS in claiming on the strength of this
that the Conservatives deserve credit as
friends of Free Schools the public can well
appreciate.
When, after much trouble and bitter OPP
position, the Republican party had set our
Free Schools in successful operation, the
appointments for 1866 and 1867 We're de-
clared and paid, the first at once, the sec
ond with but little delay. These paid many
of the teachers in full, others very nearly
So for the schools of 1859. Greatly en-
c0uraged, the teachers began their labors

last fall, and now, when one-third of the
year 1870 IS past, the party which found
the Treasury flush enough to admit of q
Constitutional Convention and long Leg
islative session, proposes at last and reluc-
family, to permit our hard working Comp
troller to issue warrants for the payment OF
these arrea1agez.
The Press and Herald is decidedly in ia
vor of a separate warrant being issued to
each teacher. If this is done, great efforts
will be made to induce teachers to part
with them at a shave. We hope they will
not do so. The State owes them for Their
services, and they should not let any OF
their hard earnings go into the hands OF
spectators, who MY have facilities with
the present powers that he in our New
Constitutionized Stats. Let teachers and
Trustees insist on full payment. Efforts
are already being made TO buy up teachers

OUR UNIVERSITY LETTER.

The very full report of Prof. Nicholson's
lecture to the students of the East Tennes-
see University, given in our Memo letter,
takes up good portion of our space,
for which we need make no apologies to
answers many suggestions made in refer
ence to the Department of Agriculture,
with which Prof. Nicholson is identified,
and will be of general interest to all the
friends of the University. We shall en-
dcavor to give similar reports of his future
lectures, and hope thereby to awaken some
interest in this Department of the Univer-
sitY course.

THE PLAIN TRUTH.-The New York
Day Book, in commenting upon Mr.. Hen
bricks advice to the Democratic party of
the South to coneiliate the negroes with
the view of getting their votes, uses the
following language, which is as forcible az
il is true:
When the Democratic party of the
United States falls so low as to be able to
get into power again only by Niger votes,
il is tainted and corrupted beyond recove-
ny, worthless to itself and its country, and
has forever lost all that ever rendered it
great and powerful in the past, or that can
ever make it of the slightest value to hui
manity i'm the future"

The Matched Game Yesterday.

The playing did not commence quite
as early as it was announced. as sill
the men did not arrive until a few
minutes before three o'clock. The
game then opened, Single men at the
bat. scoring one only; the Married
Men followed, doing likewise. On
their second innings the Bachelor
Nine made %; the Benedict Nine
only 1. Third inning: Single Men z;
Married Men l. Fourth inning it
stood 8 to 0. Fifth, 5 TO 0. Sixth,

Is for the Married Men.
Before the ninth innings was played
out. it began to rain and the game had
to be given up, spelling a fine home
run made by Saner, one of the Batch
nine. Harry Dexter, one of the same
nine, made the only home run that
counted. On the third innings a very
neat triple play was made by Charlie
Dexter, NJ. E. Greene. and L. s. Saner,
of the unmarried nine, three double
plays being made on the same side
during the game.
The game was not fair test game,
the Married Nine not being of the
"pick," while the single men had al
least five of the best players in the
city. The game occupied two hours
and five minutes. Mr.. John Wymond
was Umpire. and Mr.. Ed. E. Wheeler
