queville, the author of Democracy IN America.
was writer of some note in his day. but he had
some old fogy ideas about rights and prOprieties
that would have untitled him for modern news
paper work. He writes in his book concerning
''interviews" held with prominent Americans:
"An these confidential communications were
recorded by me as received them; but they lgiH

the effect OF my statements, than to add nv

Evidently man of the De TocqueviIle stamp
wouldn't be worth cent as a newspaper inter
yiewer-to go down to Georgia, for instance.

The experiment of publishing a religious
paper daily in New York is being tested again,
this time by Mr.. John Dougall, who has already
had large experience in that peculiar field in
the publication of The Witness, at Montreal,
which enterprise he made great success. The
new venture, which takes the same name, and
Is well made up, for beginning, is sold for one
cent In his prospectus the publisher seems to
take the true ground as to the needs of his stu
alton, and we incline to the opinion that, not
outstanding the unfsvorable result of such
attempts hitherto, the present effort will be a

A nnnn RILL-

If we we're vain enough to suppose
that we had a particle of influence over
the minds of our legislators, we would
urge them in the strongest language we
could command, to pass the bill of Mr.
Harris, exempting manufacturing estab-
lishments from taxation for a period Of
seven years. Taking all things together,
Tennessee is the finest State in the
Union. 1t is where the Northern climate
ends and the Southern climate begins. It
is compromise line between summer and
winter, drawn by the hand Of the Al
mighty. Its destiny is TO be great, but
greatness can never be achieved if
depend only on its productions. 1t
must erect its manufactures. Rather
than tax them, it had better offer them a
bonus. Every man in the State is inter
ested in its prosperity. The millions Of
acres of idle lands in the State can be re-
claimed from silence aud desolation and
made valuable by the emigration that
manufacturing establishments will bring
to it. Other States have seen the policy
and acted from it, of exempting facto-
ries, and the like, from taxation. With
every conceivable natural advantage, 1t
viii be our folly or ignorance if we allow
the golden opportunity to pass us unim-
proved. Some other and less favored
section, seeing our folly, and with insig-
ni6eant inducements, will reap the har-
vest that is now within our grasp. The
immense extent Of territory lying be-
tween Shelby and Carter should be so
dotted with manufactures that the trav-
eler, in whatever direction he turned,
could still hear the whir of the spindles,
the stroke of the saw, the thunder Of the
fJrge and the roar of the waterfall
Again, we say, we trust that the Legisla-
ture will pass Mr. Harris bill

MemphIs 10 LlttIe Rock.

A representative of the LEDGER, just
returned from flying trip over the Men,
phis and Little Rock railroad, is much
pleased with the prospects Of this thriv-
ing railroad. The train on which he left
Memphis carried over about one hun
bred and fifty passengers and brought
back fully as many. tits no uncommon
thing for the passenger trains on this
road to be crowded to their utmost ca
pacity, while the freight trains are
scarcely able to do the business of the
road. Never did railroad need rolling
stock worse than this, and it affords us
pleasure to state that this want will soon
be supplied. -Four new engines and ten
ders are now at Hopefeld, and a num-
Der Of new coaches are expected soon.
Workmen are busily engaged IN raising
the track, and in a short while the Mem
phis and Little Rock railroad will be one
of the smoothest and best roads in the
country. At present it is certainly the
best paying railroad, proporiionately,
that leads into Memphis. TheiefIicient
aud highly esteemed Superintendent,
Col A. S. Lovermore, will leave no
effort untried to make this a popular
line Of travel.

scented in grand style this evening.

night. Tonight he will address the
workingmen on topics of great interest
to them. The questions Of capital and

Senator Trum bull, in a recent CONVEX
sation upon the supplanting of State au-
thority by the United States military,
said: at is unfortunate for Governor
Palmer that he has been put in the po-
sition at an awkward time, of asserting
the State authority at Chicago. Public
opinion is, in my Judgment severe and
unjust to Governor Palmer, who was as
serting the Chief Magistracy of the
State in the case of a citizen shot
down by a volunteer organization
acting under the auspices of the Uni
ted States military commander. In
any other time it would have been
an Infringement upon the jurisdiction
of Illinois for national officer to raise
troops there. Palmer had instantly sent
State troops to Chicago, and Sheridan
not needing them sent them back. Now,
extreme cases make bad precedents.
At law, the killing of Grosvenor was
murder. The life of citizen Of the
State was taken in time of peace by a
soldiery acting independent of any le-
climate authority of the State. But
although Governor Palmer is temporari-
ly unpopular, his action will make the
Government at Washington cry halt in
the whole system ofinvading States and
suspending their laws.

NEW JERSEY.

TRENTON, November PA warrant
for the execution of John Ware, twice
convicted for having murdered his
father, near Camden, on the 10th of Au-
gust, 1870, has been placed in the hands
of the Sheriff. There is little doub, but
that the execution will take place on the
18th of December, the day fixed, al
though his counsel has not given up all
hope, and will make application for a
new writ of error. Dr. Pay, the insanity
expert, who testified at both trials, has
written letter to Judge Woodruff, in
which he states as his belief that Ware
was not morally responsible for the act,
and gives his reasons at length. Ware
has stated that he was beaten by his
brother-in-law and attacked by his father
for defending his mothers character
against their aspersions, and fred, as he
believed, in selfdefeuse. The prisoner
at the time OF the murder was not
twenty years old. His mother was in
sane, and the entire family appear to be
entailed with the malady.
An explosion of gas took place at
eight o clock yesterday morning in one
of the rooms of the State Capitol, in this

one who, on leaving the room, blew out
the gas, filling the room with gas. The
boss painter on entering this morning
struck a match to light the gas, when an
explosion took place, blowing out one
end of the room and shattering the win
dows.

COMING TO IT.

1t is quite certain that martial law
will be proclaimed over various parts of
the South. The scenes of South Caro-
lima will be reenaeted. People against
whom negro whispers a lie will be
driven from home or thrown into prison.
Meantime their affairs will suffer from
want OF attention. Driven from their
home, outlawed, robbed, abused and i'm
poverished, how can they be expected
to pay private and public debts2 Would
they not be justidable in the eyes of the
world in repudiating2 If they are not
permitted to SOW and reap, they must
repudiate, from necessity. Under a free
government, in time of peace, with
bountiful crops, the liquidation of the
debts of the Southern States would be
difficult; but if the expressions of the
government continue, they should bold
ly proclaim reputation.

The story is one Of German rural life

dash Of mysticism, Of which the follow

"Where is Pumpelhagen aud Rexow and

more Of the general welfare than bis

When man has an important matter
Of business on hand that he cannot
transact himself he does not hunt
around for the cleverest man to do il

Should 1t not be adopted in the election

cliques and simply clever men,
and employ those who are knoDn to be

talk is oldfashioned, If not obsolete,
but it has at least the merit of common
sense. If John johnson or any other
officer of the city has proved himself

THE HABEAs CORPUS.

1t is stated by contemporary that one
object in employing the Hon. Reverdy
Johnson and Hon. Henry Stanbery to
defend the citizens of South Carolina,
arrested under the Ku.Klux law Of Con-
gress, is to test the right of the Presi-
dent to suspend the writ of habeas cor
puA A glance at the history of this
provision of the Constitution will show
that it was never intended by the trainers
Of that instrument that the President
should be invested with such power,
in time of peace; if, indeed, it was con-
templated that he should exercise it at
all. When this provision wss under
consideration in the convention which
framed the Constitution, Mr.. Pinckney
submitted for reference to the commit
tee of detail the following: The privi-
lege and benefit Of the writ of habeas
corpus shall be enjoyed in this govern
ment in the most expeditions and ample
manner and shall not be suspended by
the Legislature except upon the most
urgent and pressing occasions, and for
limited time, not exceeding
months" Mr. Rutledge thought that the
privilege of habeas corpus should be de-
clared inviolate. Mr. Governor Morris
suggested the form as it stands in the
Constitution, and it was adopted.
Again: the Constitution declares that
the United States shall guarantee to
every State in this Union republican
form of government, and shall protect
each of them against invasion, and, on
application Of the Legislature, or of the
Executive when the Legislature cannot
be convened) against domestic violence.
When this subject was under considera-
ton. a motion was made to strike out
"on the application Of the Legislature,
against, and to substitute insurrec-
tons" for domestic violence" but both
those motions were rejected; SO jealous
were the trainers of the Constitution
of Federal interference in the affairs of
the States, aud SO sedulously did they
seek to guard the liberties of the people
against centralized power.
These facts show very conclusively
that it was never intended by the men
who framed the Constitution that the
President should be clothed with the
power to suspend the great writ of lib
erty-certainly not in time of profound
peace, when Congress itself could not
do so. Notwithstanding this, Radical
Congress has authorized the President
to suspend the writ wherever and when
ever he may choose to do SO, for that is
what the legislation on the subject prac-
tically means.
