But the trouble Is to back down de-
Gently, and to change front in the
face Of opposing facts. To sympa-
thise with Prussia, now, is to war
upon Republics, and to sympathise
with France, is to give the lie to for
mer professions, and TO endanger the
German support Of Radicalism hoped
for from a sympathy, hypocritical
from the beginning, with Prussia.

WE had the pleasure of an inter.
view with Col. Brandon, on Tuesday
last, and found him the same genial,
bigh-toned gentleman that he has
ever been, and looks, already, like a
Senator. He brings cheering news
from old Stewart which is almost a
unit upon every question affecting the
general welfare of the State. Such a
people have right to name the Sen
ator, and Col. Brandon will sustain
the credit of his county and district
by his ability and integrity. He is
emphatically the man for the place,
and we think the Convention and
the people will SO decide.

FRANCE is trying, for the third, or
fourth time, the experiment of Re-
publican government. Except to
meet the emergency, now upon that
country, we seriously question the
wisdom Of the movement. We ques-
ton IL, not because we do not believe
Republic the best of governments,
abstractly considered, but because we
believe there Is no people on earth,
capable of approaching, and main
tanning in its purity, that form OF
government. The experiment, In
this country, was for period, exceed
ing half century, very fair sue
cess. 1t was inaugurated under cir
cumstances more favorable than We're
ever combined in the history of any
people, and the result has been "a
demonstration that the freest form of
government can, through the cor
ruption of officials, and the reckless
indifference of the masses to their
most vital interests, be converted into
the very worst form of despotism
and that too, without n material
change In the landmarks and safe
guards by which, it was intended
that the liberties of the people should
loo secured against the assaults o
ambition and the inroads Of corrup'
ton. France has the result of oui
experiment before her, and yet she
does not hesitate to launch her bark
upon the troubled sea that has en-
quilted the boosted liberty of the Uni
ted States.

IT Is amusing 10 note the change
Ia the tone of the Radical press to-
wards the belligerents In Europe, -
Whilst Napoleon was at the head of
affairs, the Radical sympathy was
for Prussia, because there are more
German than French voters in this
COUNTRY. And the Emperor and the
King, being both despots, such SYM
pathy was harmless, II not good
policy. But now that Prussia Is ma
king war upon u Republic, that Rad
zeal sympathy involves a contradic-
ton between theory and practice,
that nceeSsiiates a change OF policy.

Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1870-09-17
The Georgia "Constitutionalist,"
discussing the qualifications of can
hidates for Congress, saws:

Persons who are disposed to accept the
nth and 18th Amendments as veretics,
win not begin to do. Rather than send
such persons Ms those we had better let the
whole contest go by the board"
II Is such advice and such spirit
as this, which fosters discord in the
South, and. in the North, keeps alive,
I'm the minds of the more liberal, q
suspicion that the spirit of rebellion
Is still rife here. But, apart from
these evil effects of such sentiments,
boldly avowed, how absurd the idea
that those amendments can be repeal
cd, or modified by legislation, by
electing men to Congress who will
not be permitted to take their seats.
Those amendments, however fraud
.ulently engrafted upon the Constitu-
ton, are the acts of q dc .fdcto gov
ernment, and binding upon the whole
people until 1t is superseded by gov
eminent dc iege. And since this sub
stitutIon can be effected only by the
triumphant success of Democracy
over centralized despotism, it ought
to be clear, to every sensible man,
that such a revolution can never be
effected by the policy suggested in
the above extract.
Warped and obscured as is the pop
ular mind of the North, by the fanat-
ical one-idea Of negro equality, and
powerless as is the South to right its
grievous wrongs unaided by the pat
riots of the North, 1t is sheer mad
ness to hope to conquer that fanati-
cism by bold defiance, or opposing to
1t the laws of God, or the eternal
principles of justice and truth-all OF
which the fanatic scouts as heresies
Mt war with phrenzied conceptions OF
his disordered intellect and perverted
morality. 1t is true wisdom, then,
on the part of the South, under the
circumstance that surround 1t, to yield
gracefully to the force of the situa-
ton, and endeavor, by such means
rs are still at its command, to add to
its strength and weaken its enemy
We have no choice but to submit to
the mutilated Constitution so long as
the Radicals are in power, and in
power they will remain as long as the
Democrats entertain and act uponsucl
ideas as are set forth by the "Consti-
majority in Congress to propose al
amendment to the Constitution, whei
the Democrats have that majority Il
will be time enough to declare wa
upon the nth and 18th amendments
Can that majority be secured by
clecting men who cannot take thei
seats?

MOUNT ARARAT.

Mr.. Frosh6cld, in recent work which
has met with great favor at the hands of
English critics, has the following
graphic description Of Mount Ararat -
"Ararat is huge, gracefully sloped
mass, rising to height of 1G,9l6 feet,
from base Of about 5000 feet. 1t stands
perfectly isolated from all the other
ranges, with the still more perfect cone
OF little Ararat (l2,840 fect) at its side
Seen thus early iu the season, with at
least 5000 feet Of snow Oh its slopes.
from the distance and height we'll caicu-
lated to permit the eye to take 10 its
true proportions, we agreed that no
single mountain we knew presented such
. magnificent and impressive appearance
as the Armenian giant. [ can only
compare it to the popular idea of Atlas
"a huge head and shoulders supporting
the SKY. One is ready Immediately to
admit that the Ark must have grounded
there, if it grounded anywhere in these
parts"

b0r According to pliny, fire was a
long time unknown to su,ne Of the and
cicnt Egyptians; and when a celebrate
astronomer showed it to them, they
were absolutely in raptures. The Per.
SLAMS, Poenicians, Greeks, and several
other nations, acknowledged that their
ancestors we're once without the use Of
FIRE, and tho Chinese confess the same
oftheir progcpitors. pompanion, Mola,
l'lutarch, and other ancient writers,
Speak Of nations who, at the time when
they wrote, knew not the use OF fire, or
Had just learned it. Fhcts oi.the same
kiad are also attestcd by several modern
j,asioas. The inhabitants Of the Marian
Islands, which wcro discovered in 1851
had no idea Of fire. Never was, astopish
raept greater than theirs when they saw
It on the desert iu one of their islands.
AT Rrst they believed it was some kind
