THE HICKMAN COURIER,
Cash system.

Many Of our merchants have adopted
the cash system. This is right. Moth
ing paralizes SO much the trade Of our
city as the extended credit system tits
not the amount Of business or nominal
profits made that pays, but the certainty
of realizing the profits. aud this can not
be regarded as certain until the money
IS in hand 4 large business may he
done and a large per cent. put on the
cost of goods, butif sold on a credit. as
our merchants know, it Is impossible to
rely on either the capjtalor profits while
collections are soiudehnite and uncertain.
To meet losses and delay in payment,
the merchant and tradesman must de
mand large profit and then the purchaser
pays heavy interest for credit. 1t Is
the interest OF both buyer and seller to
adopt the cash system and If both viii
agree to adopt it, both will BE- infinitely
the gamer and in our opinion nothing
would couduce so much to the building
up Of permanent and healthy business
in our city

the respectable administration of the
department are sufficient safeguards
against such abuses in peace times, and
in time Of civil war the dominant faction
does as it pleases with telegraph and
private rights of all sorts
This whole subject has been thorough
ly tested by pertinent in Europe, where,
under government regulations, the iele-
graph service Is cheaper, more reliabls,
and more equally accommodating to the
people than in this country. Especially
in England has argument, long investi-
CATION and actual experiment finally set
tied this question between government
telegraphy aud the telegraphic corpo.
rations. There, as here, one great, over
shadowiug company fought desperately
against the postal telegraph. After long
investigations by parliamentary commit
tees. the government took control Of the
telegraph in February, 1870, annexed it
to the post Office, quadrupled the mum
Der of stations. and reduced the price Of
messages, deliverable within a mile OF
any station in Great Britain. TO one sbil-
ling Tor twenty words and yet it has
been so profitable that the number Of
stations is to be still further increased,
and the price reduced to sixpence. Ii
has beeu demonstrated that in connection
with The post Office the government can
run the telegraph much cheaper than
private company, and not being obliged
to satisfy stockholders with large divi-
dends, can afford to establish lines aud
telegraph stations in small towns, where
private capitalists would never think Of
extending them. At the same time the
government has sent four times as much
news for press associations. to four timos
as many papers, and at much less cost 10
the public If the people who patronirs
newspapers, and the people Of interior
towns, and especially all persons inter
ested in country papers, do not cry ou.
for government monopoly of the tele-
graph, they will most stupidity delay an
inevitable measure which, when they
once enjoy its benefits, they would not
part with any sooner than they would
part with the government postal system.

The PoIlstcal Qui.ook.

Special to the Louisville Courer-JournaI.
The caucus OF the Democratic Sena-
tors aud members, TO be called to give an
expression e on various measures which
Will arise during the session, and the still
more important question Of the Presi
dency, will probably be postponed till
after the holidays. An Informal inter-
change of opinion on the course to be
taken in the latter particular shows
great unanimity in opposition to undue
hast. or to any step that looks like a
surrender of the Democratic organiza-
ton into the hands of the anti Grant
Republicans Whatever may be the
strength of the latter in the country,
there does not appear at present to be a
single one Of the l39 Republican mem
bers of the House, who is willing 70 pub
icly announce his opposition to the re
nomination of Grant. There are never
theess many who are at heart opposed
to it. but they at the same time admit
that if he is the nominee of the Repub
lican party they will be obliged to sup
port him The Democratic leaders in
the House therefore desire to see some
positive position taken by those Repub-
leans who wiil not support Grant in any
event, before any profession is made for
a coalition to unite the Democratic par
ty with such an element Many Demo
cratic members have requested Hon.
Fernando Wood, chairman of the joint
caucus. to have a conference called next
week in order that members may be able
to inform their constituents when they
go home during the recess what position
the Democrats in Congress have taken on
this important question, while others in
sist on delaying all action till the full
strength Of the conservative Republicans
opposition is made manifest. Democrat
ic members were informed by an ex
official of the Grant Administration. who
was quite active as a visitor on the floor
of the House, that the opposition to
Grants re election was gaining ground
among the Republicans in the West, aud
that the more regular members Of the
party were assuming, since the election.
that the Republicans were strong enough
to elect almost any prominent man in the
party in 1872.

has not. Votes do not vary in value
testimony does. Ballots are merely
counted; evidence is weighed. The
judge decides upon the legal competency
Of witness; the jury judges of his in
tellectual and moral competency
credibility; and often, when a score of
witnesses have testified in case. the
evidence of two or three of them. of
superior intelligence and character, has
determined the verdict tits a popular
apprehension that if we admit the negro
to testify in the courts, we will be led to
recognize his competency also as a juror
Did l believe that the adoption Of this
measure could have such a result I
should cease at once to favor it; for the
wrong thereby inflicted upon the interests
OF public justice, 10 my opinion, would
more than counterbalance all the benefits
that might be derived from unrestricted
testimony. Not only is the freedman,
in his present condition, utterly incapable
of discharging Alright the duties of such
a trust; but, | am convinced that, what
ever culture may do for hin--how great
soever may be his Intellectual and moral
Improvement in the 1uture-the differ
ence Of race and color, with the invete
rate prejudices attached to them, will
lndelibly mark him as belonging to a
distinct and inferior caste; and no people
of Caucasian birth will voluntarily 10
trust him with such jurisdiction over
the life and fortunes of citizen.
There IS no cause for apprehension
The rights are distinct, and rest upon
different principles. There is no parity
Of reason in the two cases, and all codes
of Jurisprudence bavo placed their claims
upon different grounds. When a person
uoder our law is indicted for a capital
otfense, minor, a woman. a man who Is
not householder, foreigner, and. if
the accused is Of his own race, a negro,
are competent witnesses in the case; but
none OF them can enter the jury box
lad Of fourteen may give clear, in
telilgent statement of facts which may
determine the verdict of the Jury; yet
he would be utterly incompetent as a
juror to represent the awful majesty of
the law, and the public justice Of his
country, to judge of the law aud evidence,
and render a decision touching the life
OF fellow being. The laws of most
nations, ancient aud modern, 90 beyond
ours, and require additional qualifications
in those intrusted with the duties Of so
solemn and responsible an office, care
fully providing that no one indicted for
felony shall be tried by those who are
not at least, his peers; aud to subject
any person to trial by jurors of an 10
terior race would not be sanctioned,
either by natural equity or any laws
found in the codes of civilized nations.
Satisfied, therefore, of both the wis
dom and justice of the proposed meas
ure, l earnestly recommend that an act
be passed declaring the legal competency
of the negro as witness, subject only
to the same restrictions as all other cit
zens,. and repealing all laws on our statute
books which are in contravention thereof

wholesale arrests are made of men who

4 uggeStIOn to the Kentucky
legislature.

In view of the high handed course of
Judge Ballard in arresting and imprIs-
ouing citizens of Kentucky Hithout war
rant of law and upon the most frivolous
pretexts, our people have a right to look
to their State officers, and especially their
Legislature, for such protection as they
can legally afford
In 1852 or 1858, when the United
States authorities were arresting citizens
of Massachusetts, in the famous Burns
case, the Legislature of that State
promptly passed an act forbidding the
use of the penitentiary and jails of the
commonwealth by United States officers
for the Incarceration of prisoners. And
that ended the business of wholesale and
indiscrimiuate arrest of citizens of Mas
sachusetts That the State had the right
to pass such law, was at once admitted
by the Law Department at Washington.
The Federal government has 20 more
right to seize and enter upon the posses
sion of the property of State than it
has to seize and enter upon the posses
sion Of the property of citizen. The
plan adopted to protect citizens of Mas
sachusetts from Federal outrage will
prove equally efiicacious in the case Of
our State Let bill be introduced into
the Legislature, Immediately upon it's
assembing,- and pushed through both
houses without delay, similar to the Mas
sachusetts law, forbidding the use of our
penitentiary and jaiIs to all Federal
officers. 1t will interfere with no Fed
eral law. 1t will be following a safe
aud established precedent. And better
than all, it will afford our people relief
from the prosecutions that now annoy
and initiate and enrage KeatucLy
