Let COlOred Men Read This.

Gen. Blair, a General in the Northern
army in the war between the Northern
and Southern States, in u speech, u few
days ago, at Meridian, in this State,
said:
"The accusation has been made that
the people Of the South have treated
with outrage this cluss Of people, Well,
| have been upon the committee lKu-
Klux Committed delegated by Congress
to examine into these matters. l have
sat with that committee nearly ten
months, taking testimony in regard to
that very subject, We have heard testi-
mony of every conceivable character
brought before us, and | have found-at
least such are my convictions ut this
moment-that the Radical carpet-bag-
gers and ~scalawags are responsible fol
every act Of cruelty which mas been in
ticted upon the colored race in the
South" .'..
There never was spoken or written
more truth inrso brief Il space of time
on paper; and we will add another, which
is as true: The iniquitous Reconstruction
measures are the spawn from which
these miserable thieves and mischief
makers were Matched, and the Congress:
Of the United States is responsible foI
all these s%c0undrels have done.

Reader, have you ever though OF the
difference between two coins Of the same
coinage, stamp and face value, but in the
pockets of different men? If you hove
not, you have not begun to reflect On
life and duty as you should.
The honest penny, gotten by adequate
labor, has u sacredness about it that
gives it the ascendancy in value over
the pound obtained by theft and fraud.
If there is no difference between the per-
monency of earthly possessions reached
by the honest man and the knave, then
there is no God, and we were all wise to
be atheists. But there is q difference.
The gains of the honest man will bless
him and his descendants. The gains OF
the rapacious scoundrel, though to all
human appearances consisting in exact
SMILES of the other, viii sooner or later
start a hell of their own in the pockets
and chests of the robber. There is not
q coin in the world, this moment, in any
place, that the Almighty has not impress
sed his daily stamp upon-good or bad.
Remember, you cannot defraud the Mas
ter. You must, therefore, regard 1t I'M.
wise to obtain wealth by lying, cheating
or overreaehing. Wen stake the poor
mans honest dollar against the wealth
OF both h~emispheres for efficacy i'll the
eye Of the great King. We are not for
the centuries of prosperity with the
wicked. The labor of the poor man is
an eternal recommendation throughout
the universe.

FaWe noe that Senator Trumbull Of Hi
nois has introduced a bill in the Senate
of the United States, the objects of which
are to have Terrified out certain frauds
and 9windling by government officials.
II will be seer that the same met with q
defpat in the Senate ON being put to a
vote, that is the passage of his bill. The
obnoxious part OF tbs bill TO tEe admin
lstrations advocates appears 10 have been
TINT section which should authorize Il
committee to be appointed to send for
persons and papers.
Senator Morton, the mouthpicce OF
Grant, opposed this bill VITA great force,
insisting that the introduction Of the
bill was an implied admission Of corrup-
ton in the party. What a weak argu-
ment! It il q fact about which there
exist little or no controversy, that Grants
administration is rotten and corrupt to
the core. That is not MI The Radical
party intend controlling the affairs of the
general Government or thrust the coun-
try into another revolution.
To the frauds and corruption. 1t is
the aim Of the supporters Of the admin
istration to prevent any investigations
into the custom house frauds of New
York or any other Of like import. The
reason is obvious, from the fact the cir
culnstantial, If not direct testimony will
show the connection of the Executive or
some of its warm supporters, with Il
majority if not all these nefarious trans
actions. While there are some honest
Republicans in Congress who desire to
put down rascality and corruption in
officials they are in the minority even
when acting with the Democratic party.
The cohesive powers of plumber holds
the present administration up and gives
it many friends.

Col. J. b. Cock for Supreme Judge,

In our last issue We placed the Hon.
7. N. Vandyke, of McbIinn, in nomina-
ton rs q candidate for the position OF
Supreme Judge. Since then we learn
that he willnot under any circumstances,
become q candidate for the position,
This being the cNse, our next choice, is
Col. J.. r. Cook, of Chattanooga. As we
have heretofore advocated we still advo-
cato the claims of Lower East Tennessee
for the position.
From information now in our possess
sion, Col. Cook viii be accepted by the
voters of Lower East Tennessee, and be-
lieve that tho people OF the entire State
win accept him by an overwhelming ma
jority.
Upper Fast Tennessee has now two
Judges Oh the Bench, one by election
aud the other by Executive appointment,
and we hope thHt IA Lower East Tenn
cssee hns a man of ability to present to
the people, in the person of Col. Cook,
they will be sGtiBfied with one candidate
from their section. All who are acquain.
ted with Col. Cook, know him to be q
mnn Of fine talent, and has all the quail
ications necessary to make a good Judge.
Judge Yaudykeh having, rs we have stated
shove, declined to become a candidate
for tho position, we nominate Col. Cook,
and shall advocate his claims, in prefer
cncs toany other man in East Tennessee,
and Ne hope the press of Lower East
Tennessee will accept him, and work for
his SUCCESS.
Col. Cook viii not decline, us we learn,
to accept the position.

Office Ii PartiSanS.

Any politics which proposes to inter
fere with the complete and parctical res
toration OF the union of all the States:
Of fr~aternal feelings between the sections;
Of freer and more harmonious CONNER
cial intercourse between the cities Of the
North and South, must be overwhelm-
ingly condemned by the better iudg-
meit OF the mass Of American voters.
We observe n disposition on the part of
so-called Republican papers in this State
to sheer at the proposition to withdraw
the Democratic party from the Presiden-
tial contest next year. Now, if they are
not the mere hirelings of the Grant Ad-
m~inistration, or of the sinecures in the
pay of that Administration in this State,
why do they object to the withdrawal of
Democratic opposition? Now Carl Schurz'
definition of the sort Of Republicanism
he has embrased is radically different
from theirs. He declares that his Re-
publicanism is struggling "for the res
toration of the Union; for a true and
lasting peace throughout the nation.
Tie accomplishment of that great end"
he says, "stood higher than aIl mere par
t,san advantage. But if he does" he
adds, addressing Tennessee Republicans,
show can you hesitate to grasp for rigor-
ous cooperation, the hands of those who
may be willing to work with you for the
same great ends? Must it not be clear to
you that these great ends will be best
promoted by enlisting all the forces that
will serve the common interest? Or is
there any interest that, to you, as Re-
publicans, can stand higher than this?
Can there be any interest higher than
this to a patriot? Let us take care, Re
publicans Of the South, lest the charge
that partisan selfshnoss influenced the
motives Of Republicans, be not sti ength-
ened by our attitude when the highest
interest Of the country point ont SO clear
ly the true course to be followed."-

Ward VS.. the State of Maryland in err
ror to the Supreme Court of Maryland.
In this case the plaintiff in error was in.
dicted in the State Court fer the viola
ton Of the law of the State against sales
by sample by non-residents without Ii
cense The case went to the United
States Supreme Court and was decided
last Monday. 1t was held that the stat
ute Of Maryland was u violation of that
clause OF the Constitution, which guar
antees to the citizens of each State all the
rights, privileges, etc, of citizens in the
several States, and that it is, therefore,
void; but the view is taken that it is not
a violation of the commercial clause Of
the Constitution if the tax on residents
and nou-residents is equally laid. JUS
tlce Bradley concurred i'll the opinion as
to the first branch of the decision, but
dissented as to the second, holding that
the statute is a violation of the CONNER
cial clause of the Constitution, because
it is n regulation of commerce between
the States, and that it IS repugnant to
this clause Of the Constitution without
regard to the equality of the tax.
