The Ballaer then said:
EUROPEAN REPUBLICANIsM.

The recent news Of the illness of Queen
Victoria, coupled with what appeared to be
a formidable Republican movement in Eng
land, and the expectation of the leaders Of
the party-if such it may be called-Of
ending with the Queen monarchical gov
eminent in Great Britain, has directed
more than ordinary attention to the eondi-
ton of affairs in that kingdom. One thing
seems to be tolerably certain: if Queen
Victoria should die-and the state of her
health is not such as to warrant the belief
that she will live many years POSSIBLY not
many months) longer-there will be such
a CONFUSION in England as that country has
not witnessed since the days of Cromwell
Such at least seems to be the prospect now,
for judging from present appearances, the
British people are ill-disposed to put up with
such worthless scapegrace as the Prince of
Wales for their King. But precisely what
will be the result of this upheaval it is
difficult to predict. While thought
full minds in this country are
contemplating the Republican agitation in
England, and are specializing upon the
chances of a Republic in that old stronghold
of monarchy, the painful reflection arises,
says the Washington Patriot, that even
within the ranks of the friends of Republi-
canism over sea floruishes the greatest OBJ
stacle to the happy consummation Of this
political regeneration. The Republican
band of England-like the Commune Of
of France, and the Republicans of Europe
everywhere-is led by blatant infidels, who,
with their defiant infdelity, cast a baleful
shadow upon the hopes of freedom. Brad
laugh, who processes TO be the head Of the
English Republicans, while asserting that
in five years he will be President of the Re-
public of Great Britain, blasphemoEsly
declares that 'the work of over
throwing God, as well as all earthly tryants,
goes bravely on" This speech is not worse
than many others Of the written and spoken
opinions Of Bradlaugh and his followers.
1t is to be feared that no movement having
for its purpose the establishment of a gov
eminent of the people-not government
of classes, as in France-can ever succeed
anywhere in Europe so long'as such bias
phemous creatures as this man faint the
effort at Republicanism with the stigma of
his name and influence. Call the roll of
the professed Republicans of Europe, and
against the names of the chief among them
may be written freethinking, if not absolute
infdel. 1t is the example of these men,
and the horror that is inspired by their doc
trines, that retard the cause of Republican
ism in Europe.

The Chicago correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial has this paragraph in
his letter of Oct. 10: .
''The citizens are highly excited on the
subject of incendiarism, and many insist
that 4 determined conspiracy is on foot to
burn up the town. Some Germans say
that the Southern K9-Klux have their in
cendiaries at work"
This is not the first effort that has been
made to fasten upon the people Of the
South the responsibility for the calamity
that has befallen Chicago. Some fellow in
that city sent dispatch to the st. Louis
Democrat making charge similar to that
alluded to by the correspondent of the
Commercial. The Democrat of the 18th
inst. disavoN ed the iBsinuatiOn as follows:
"The absurd sensational rumor sent
from Chicago of a statement that an incen-
diary had been hanged confessing that he
came there with ex-rebels to burn the city,
is the silliest of bosh. But that in the pres
sure and hurry of news matter the para
graph escaped revision, it would not have
appeared in our columns"
1t is indeed, ''the silliest Of bosh" to try
TO connect the Southern people with the
Chicago calamity.

THEHANGING m BEDFORp.

: We are informed that two negroes com
mitted Iinnamable and outrageous offences
in Bedford county last week. They were
placed in jail at Shelbyville, but on Satur-
day they were taken out for the alleged
purpose Of carrying them before q commit
ting Magistrate. When about three miles
from Shelbyville they were taken from the
persons who had them in charge and hung
by the neck to a tree until they were dead.
There was no question Of their guilt, and
the circumstances attendant were of such a
revolving character as to renderit impossible
orthe incensed populace of even SO loyal a
county as Bedford to await the laws delay
to infict the punishment the criminals mer-
tied. But however deserving the punish
ment which these negroes received, it is a
matter of the deepest regret in these times
when every violation of law is used to make
political capital against the people of the
South, that such summary punishment
should be resoTted to.

RADICAL PRESCRIPTION IN NEW
ENGLAND,

The amendments introduced into tie
Rhode Island Legislature under Democratic
auspices, to strike out Of the Constitution
of that State the clause which requires
foreign-bOrn citizen to possess Sl34 worth
of real estate before he can vote, was re-
jected by the vote of the people on the 9th
inst. by a large majority. Rhode Island is
Radical State, and this vote shows how
proScriptive the Radicals of New England
are at home. The clause which is thus re-
tanned in the Constitution of Rhode Island
by the votes of Radicals, is not operative
as against natiye-born citizens, or ne
groes, who are allowed to vote without
any property qualification whatever. 1t is
simply and distinctly directed only against
citizens of foreign birth. Frequent efforts
have been made to have this proscnptive
qualification abolished, but theyshave always
failed, either in the Legislature or before
the people. So the foreign born citizen, I'M
less be should happen to rise to the dignity
of a property-holder, viii continue to be
denied in Rhode Island the right of suf-
frage, which is accorded to even negroes.
The Baltimore Gazette, in connection
with the defeat of the proposition to put
foreign born citizens on an equalfooting with
those of native birth in Rhode Island, di-
reefs attention to the fact that in Massachu-
sets, a resolution was offered, in the last
Legislature, to take the necessary steps to
expunge from the Constitution of that State
those provisions which limit the privilege of
the elective franchise to those citizens only
who can read and write, and who pay taxes.
The Gazette says: "If this resolution had
been adopted, and an appeal to the people
had sanctioned the proposed constitutional
amendments, over fifty thousand voters
would have been added to the
registration lists. But Massachusetts
has no more intention of extend
inc the suffrage to those of her citizens who
are now deprived of it than Rhode Island
has. The resolution was promptly voted
down. And thus it is that these intensely
Radical States, whilst insisting that the bal
lot box shall be thrown wide open to the
multitude of poor and ignorant blacks of the
Southern and border States, take especial
care to exclude from the same privilege the
poorer classes of whites, however induStri-
GUS they may be, and the greater number OF
the foreign born citizens residing in Their
midst Could tlee possibly be a more
striking Illustration of the cant and hypocri-
sy ofthese sanity politicians"

A WASHINGTON dispatch to the Cincin-
natl Times and Chronicle, dated the 18th
inst, says it is understood that the resigna-
tiou of Collector Murphy, of New York, has
been placed in the hands of the President,
to be accepted when the latter chooses.
The dispatch adds:
''Some Of the most prominent politicians
urge the President to accept it Immediately,
thus healing the breach that exists in the
party in New York. The President does
not like to take action, because he thinks it
would look like yielding to the clamors of
the Tribune and other opponents of Muir
ply. 1t is probable, however, that the re-
signation will be accepted when Congress
meets"
We shall see what there is in this rumor.
Grant was afraid to take the responsibility
of turning Murphy out of Office.

THE Cincinnati Times and Chronicle has
a dispatch from Pembina, which states that
the United States Commissioner discharged
Gen. O'Neil, Donahue, Domelly and Cur
ly, on the 18th inst, deciding that the
Court had no jurisdiction, the ofTense hav-
ing been committed in Canada. Evidence
of the Canadian officials who saw O'Niel's
party cross the line is rejected, from legal
informality in producing the witnesses. Col.
Wheaton retains the arms and ammunition.

KNOX AND SEWER,

An election for Representive from Knox
and Sewer was held on Saturday last. The
Knoxville Press and Herald Of the 10Th
inst. gives tlle result in Knox county, as far
as heard from, as follows:
Total for Caldwell, Con $3.50
Total for McBath, Rep.) 125
Total for Ellis, (Rep.). ...............l lag
Caldwell's majority over McBath, 205;
over Ellis, 1S4; over both, SO. n7saa
At the 10th district Tuckahoe, the vote
was IS follows: Caldwell, 10; Ellis, 46.
d The returns place Caldwell 157 votes
ahead of Ellis in Knox county, AS far as
heard from. In several of the country PIE
cincts, we understand, no polls were opened.
In view of the general apathy that seems to
have prevailed, it is impossible to divine the
result, with any certainty, though the
chances appear to be in favor of Mr.. Cald-
wells election. ItAJEfi
