i. TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY A FAILURE"

A truer sentiment was never uttered,
than by our Nashville correspondent,
that Democracy in Tennessee Is a failure.
More than two years ago, the nrst Demo
cratic Legislature assembled. The Demo-
cratic journals throughout the State teemed
with promises as to what would be done.
Tennessee is at last redeemed" they
said, and the people were on the highway
to wealth and prosperity. Judging the
future in the light of these profuse decla-
rations, we would have very naturally eX-
pected that, when the Democratic Solons
assembled, a mastery financial policy
would be adopted and the State redeemed
from all embarrassment IN Few years.
But what did we see? The first Legisla-
ture was a broad burlesque on all possible
legislative bodies. 1t should, in our future
history, be denominated the Block-head
legislature for its acts certainly entitle
it to that appellation. They spent months
at the capital, and about the only thing
they did was to provide for turning
Republicans out of office, drink NEAR
whisky and draw their per diem. They
took stand in the beginning that looked
very much as if they meant to repudiat'
the State debt. But they didn't repudiate
probably because they didn't know jus
how to get about it.
The Legislature now in session is com
posed of better material in point OF talent
the Lower House AT leaSl-Dut up 10 III
time we fail to realize what they hav
done to protect the honor and credit of th
State, or to afford any sort of relief to tn
people. But few days are left for thei
labors, and to all outside appearance the,
are sitting still and looking on with blanl
astonIshment at what they are expected {
accomplish. They are evidently unequs
TO the task Of providing for the presen
emergency, and intend to pursue such
course as will force the State unto hope
Less and irretrievable bankruptcy. The
either fail to understand the situation, Of
understanding it, are unable to provide fc
the public necessity. Or if they do undel
stand our wants and know the remedy fC
existing evils, they wilfully neglect to al
ply it, Verify, Tennessee Democracy Is
failure, and the people must soon awake
10 the fact or our State is hopelessl
ruined!

FROM the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun we take the follow
ing gratifying report of Secretary Bout
wells financial measures
Secretary Boutwell, will be able on Saturday
to insert in his report, which he has left opens
for that purpose, the announcement of the com
plete success of the new five per cent. loan IN
Europe, and the consequent redemption OF one
hundred millions of the first series of 5-0 bonds
of 1862, which were made redeemable after FIVE
years from date. and within twenty years, at
the option Of the government. More than three
fourths Of the new FIVE pei, cents; have been ex-
changed for these old bonds, and the treasury
will not, therefore, be called on to redeem an
amount in gold exceeding fifteen or twenty mil
lions This sum is much smaller than was an
ticipated, and its disbursement is not likely to
cause any material disturbance in financial CEN
tres Secretary Boutwell, will defend at length
the arrangement for the negotiation OF this loan
with the London syndicate, and deny in his re-
port the charge that he has paid commission
IN excess of the amount provided by law.

IT has been recently said by promi-
nent gentleman in Washington, that dur
ing our whole history there has never
been more peaceful and friendly coudi-
ton of affairs with foreign states than at
the present time. So much for the pres
ent Administration. Few Presidents have
done more to simplify our foreign rela-
tons, and 10 preserve our honor and dig
nifty as as nation than the present in
cumbent. Honest people will not over
look this important fact. While politicians
may SANDER him, the honest voters of the
country will not forget that his admins
tra;ion is marked by such substantial
proofs of good sense and patriotism.

a RESOLUTION was introduced in the
Tennessee Legislature declaring "that
while personal difficulties occasionally oc-
cur in Tennessee, as in other States of the
Union. there does not exist in the State
any organization known as kukluX khan
of the law or interference with the privi-
leges of citizens &c. This will be queer
reading along side of the reports of the late
troubles in Franklin county. Was the
hanging of the colored prisoners confined
in the Manchester Jail by masked men,
only IA personal difficulty?

THE people of New York are not salts
fed with defeating the clan of thieves
known as the Tammany Ring at the bal
lot box. They are bouncing upon their
leaders, and the prospect of their punish
ment seems fiattering. While some of
them have made good their escape to
foreign chimes others are falling into the
hands of justice at home Connolly has
been arrested and held to bail in a million
ofdollars. He will probably be vigorous
ly prosecuted, in which case he will GER
tainly be convicted. When convicted, he
should be sent to the penitentiary with
9th er criminals who are there for less of
lenses. a. Oakley Hall it is said will be ar
rested also. He may have the privilege
of exchanging his fine mansion where he
fares umptuously every day with funds
stolen from the Taxpayers of New York,
for a cell in the State prison, where his
daily rations are dealt out to him in the
same manner as to the petty thief whose
offense is much less. Tweed instead of
holding position in the State Senate, to
which he was elected by Democratic votes,
may take cell in that other State institu-
ton along side with his brother THE es of
high and low degree. We say let the good
work go on. The honest people of the
country will say let the good work proceed.
Never let it be said of any American State,
that felOn escapes punishment by reason
of his wealth or position in society. Re-
strain the larger thieves first, and then
look after the smaller ones.

Now that our Democratic friends at
Nashville are calling out their hounds to
pursue the thieves who issued and stole
railroad bonds, we trust that they will not
call them off until the game is taken. Let
it not be said that the chase is given over
because the game is not what those in pur-
suit supposed it to be. If you suppose that
you are after Radical, and it should turn
out that full grown Democrat is the
game, bring himlin. Let US have the game,

"The President has finished the greater

President Porter, of Yale, gave the follow
ing advice to the students Of that institution
the other day: Young men, yen are the arch
itects of your own fortunes. Rely upon your
own strength of body and soul. Take for your
star, selfreliance, faith, honesty, and industry.
Inscribe on your banner, Luck is q fool, pluck
is hero Don't take too much advice-keep at
your helm and steer your own ship, and re-
member that the great art of commanding is
to take fair share of the work. Don't prac-
tise too much humanity. Think we'll of your
self. Strike not Assume your own position.
Put potatoes in cart, over rough road, and
small ones 90 to the bottom. Rise above the
envious and jealous. Fire above the mark you
intend to hit. Energy, inviucibe determine
ton, with right motive, are the levers that
move the world. Don't drink. Don't chew.
Don't smoke Don't swear. Don't deceive.
Don't read novels Don't marry until you can
support q wife. Be 10 earnest Be self-reliant
Be generous BE civil. Read the papers.
Advertise your business. Make money, and do
good with il. Love your God and fellow man.
Love truth and virtue. Love your country
and obey its laws"
