Radical CaucuS-NOne but Ku-KluX
Laws, this Session.

The Republican members Of the U. S.
Senate held II caucus meeting ON Satur-
day afternoon to consider the advisable
ity of prOlongin9 the session in order to
enact some measure for the better pro-
lection Of life and property in the
Southern States. There was IL long dis
cussion upon the subject. Anumbor of
Senators took the ground that it would
be impracticable to legislate on the Qucs-
ton without opening the door to general
Legislation, which was net desirable at
this time. Arcsolution was finally adop-
ted for the appointment of a committee
of five to confer and act with d similar
committee of the Republican members of
the House in framing II bill for the pro-
lection of Southern loyalists, and to re-
port Mt another meeting of the caucus
on Monday, when the subject will be
further considered and d conclusion
probably be reached.
Resolutions were offered, and consid-
cradle argument made i'll favor oftaking
early action upon the bill to repeal the
duties OH coal and salt, the Cincinnati
and Southern railroad bill, and others ;
but the caucus definitely decided that no
measures be enacted this season, except
such us relate to the condition of the
Southern States.

TO be RGdeGmGd.

Both Houses of the Forty-6rst Congress
passed the bill authorizing and requiring
the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem
in lawful money, under such rules and
regulations as he may from time to time
prescribe, all copper, bronze, nickel and
base metal coinage of any kind heretofore
authorized by law, when presented in sums
of not less than twenty dollars. When
ever, under this authority, these coins are
presented for redemption in such quantity
as to show the amount outstanding to be
redundant, the Secretary of tho Treasury
is authorized to discontinue or diminish
the manufacture and issue of such coinage
until otherwise ordered by him. There is
$l0,000,000 of them in the country.

1t is said of a gentleman in New York
that he had a passion for the purchase of
secondhand furniture at auctions, and
that making "good bargains" he had filled
his house with ~antiquated and almost use
less articles. Upon one occasion his wife
took The responsibility, without apprizing
her husband, to have u portion of the least
useful removed to an auction room. Great
was her dismay and her extreme astonish-
ment when, on the evening Of the day of
sale, a majority Of the articles anne back
to the house. The husband had stumbled
into the auction room, and, not knowing
his W furniture, had purchased it at
better bargains than at first.

The Only Remedy.
, hefexn thafilis a nnirnsnI |,

We believe that a UNIVERSAL con
viction that there is no other, certainly
no more serious, impeachment TO tho
prosperity and progress of our State,
than Aat results from the worst Gov
ernmont the world ever saw, There is
no State in the Union with u larger area
OF rich soil, adapted IL profitable cultures,
than is Tennessee, and yet the fact must
be confessed That our prosperity and
growth does not correspond with our
physical advantages,
1t would be u violation of the laws of
nature and OF logic il it were otherwise ;
under such burdens of discrcdit, debt
and taxation us we M compelled to bear,
SUCH an incubus olincompotont and mis-
chievous Legislation.
Itis these which destroy confidence,
discourage immigration, and drive and
koepMway capitaland trade, No though
full obscryingpersons will permanently
settle in State where industry is sub
iected to such giievous burdens and re-
f~trictions, Capital, always timid and
~gagacious, cannot, be tempted 10 trust
itself in our mi,,st. @ rI.
1.-The remely is in the hands of the
people. Nothing but n combined move
mont and organization Of all honest citi-
zens, can affect anything. Not Il combi-
uation or organization Of a class against
some particulars measure, affecting their
interests, bat ofall classes against any
form Of Increase ofmdebtcdncsa ofrcck-
less waste of the treasure of the State,
OF %peryersion Of political power and in
terfcronce with the constitutional rights
Of the people and the freedom of trade.
II ii only in such an organization that
We can perceive any ground for the hope
OF res, uing our Site from the burdel s
now resting upon it, and which stand az
II serious barrier to our progress and
prosperity.
Even some of those who have been
led astray by the force Of evil COMMUNE
cation and association, alarmed at the
consequences of past acts, may join in
tho remedial movement. This is no
time for s%upincnoss. Every citizen who
has u reul interest in the prosperity Of
the State should be up and doing.

Good Work of the Democratic Cau-


The Democrats and Conservatives of
both Hotses Of Congress, held u caucus
last Saturday. A resolution was passed
urging the Democratic and Conservative
members to be constant in their attend
anGc on all sessions till final adjourn
meIlt, and requests absentocs to return
at once, to prevent contemplated evil
legislation.
\ resolution was adopted appointing
u committce ofone Senotor OF Repre-
sentative from each State entitled by

to representation i'll the caucus to serve

National DemOeraey-HarmOny Nee
pSSary tO Success

Northern Democracy are disposed to
make up dead issues at present, and to
lug their discussions into the coming
Presidential campaign to the exclusion
OF more important living issues" but
that they "aro yenal and timc-serving,
and will not make the fight, unless they
sec the South determined to II degree
that would insure success" The Attain
ta Intelligcncer denies the assertion that
"a majority of the National Democracy
Of the North aud West are disposed to
open the great political campaign OF
1872 upon any such dead issues, as they
are too well advised of the tremendous
stakes for which they are playing to risk
the triumph of the peoples party on
vague and unstable principles"
We agree with the Intclligcncer. 1t
is not reasonable to suppose that the
great Democratic party of the North
and West will fail to do its duty in the
approaching Presidential campaign.
"And in order that the party in its
whole and national sense, may success
fully, overcome the cohorts of Radical
ism, u fresh departure, free from all the
trammcls of the past must be taken. 1t
will not do to rouse in the great mass
es Of the American people the latent fear
that revolutionary leaders and the
schemes of mere factions will be allowed
again to drag the country into. anarchy,
and that unstable and disturbing Gle
ments will be allowed to foment political
troubles, and divert the current of pass
ing events into partisan channels, sub
yersiyC Of peace and perma lent or
der. AS VIC have repeatedly urged, it is
easy to rectify in IL quiet, legal and legit-
innate way I'LL grievances Of u national
character that good sense and sound
craftsmanship may hereafter find to be
evil, and so declare, and the will of the
people will as firmly sustain any lcgisla-
ton Of an earnest and profitable kind in
the future as it now sustains acknowl-
edged and legal statues, binding upon
the whole Republic a8 the expressed
will of the majority. But for amy fac
ton to force matters that have been for
merry set at rest upon the Democracy at
this time, and by everlasting denuncia-
ton and the agitation of passion and
prejudice, disturb the harmony of the
party, and cause disluictudc through
ont the land, is to act contrary to the
best interests of National Democracy,
and to play into the hands of its worst
ChCLillSo' DColItCS, W. NCCll III w DC CA-
ceedingly bad taste to denounce the ma
jority Of our Northern friends us "venal
aud time-scrying," when it is notorious
that upon the shoulders Of our friends
at the North lies the greater portion Of
the present struggle against Radical
usurpation and power, and that without
their gigantic strength and excellent or
ganization tho people of the South
would never be able to free themaek es
from the tolls of their opprcssors, and
the victory of Democratic principles in
1872 become impossible. Let us be
charitable, prudent, and free from sec
tional prejudice unbccoming our present
situation, and let us not mistake Drag
for power, bipartisan vagaries for cool
and s~tateSmanlike ~sagacity."

Macon, Ocmulgee and Knoxville

we learn from the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, that u large and interesting meet
ing Of tho citizens Of Forsyth county,
Georgia, was recently held at Cumming,
for the purpose Of taking preliminary
8tcpsfor the location ofthc above named

county were present, and took part in

tons, they adopted the following:

While urging that the adjective "malc"
be stricken from the Constitution, some
thing should be done for cxpurgating the
word female from newspaper literature. A
woman is called q "fcmale," a woman's
prayer meeting is dubbed afemale prayer
meeting, a young ladies' seminary is q fe;
male seminary, and SO on to the end of
the chapter. Truly, here is q genuine
field for effort in the cause.

One of the Miseries of Paris.

One of the effects of the m%isorios of
Paris is the backwardness of the fashions.
The leaders, who delight in parading the
streets rugged out in the outrc style of the
newest cut and color Of clothes, are now at
fault. The %tailors, too, fail to come out
with their early spring fashion plates and
goods. iWhy,lhcre we are already enjoy

An Anti-Medicine Aunty.

A remarkable instance of the efficacy of
abstaining from medicine is to be found
in a Virginia lady, who hasreachcd the age
of niucty-six. Throughout all the ninety
six years of her life she has taken three
pills, has buried three husbands, has had
u large family of children, and still spins
as mcrrily and as blithc as q maid of "sweet
sixteen" Evidently her motto in life
must have been either "Physician cure
thysclf," or "Throw physic to the dogs"

A Blacksmith's Idea OfReIigiOn.

1t has been said that every man has at
least one good point in his character. A
gentleman, travelling On Sunday, was
obliged to stop to have one of the shoes of
his horse replaced. The farrier was just
going to church, but suggested to the
traveller that Jim Harrison might be found
at home at the next forge, This proved
to be true and the rustic who had led the
gentleman's horse to the spot, exclaimed,
"Well, l must say that for Jem, for it is
the only good point about him-he do
never 60 to church."
