and intellectual integrity by their own,
not our standard Of right and wrong.
The distinction is one about which there
should be no misunderstanding.
Horace Greeley has expressed similar
sentiments TO the above. Indeed, be
says an original sec~essionist a be ex-
eused for attempting to dissolve the
Union, but there Is no excuse for an
unconditional Union man, IS be was at
tempting what he knew to be treason
and what was against his convictions
We ask the AgGldache to read the
above rebuke from the New York
ROst, and to pause in its war
upon Colonel KeIlar, who has
never done the paper any harm. II the
Avalanche expects to destroy Colonel
KeIlar by these attacks on the resolu-
tons he introduced at Raleigh in April,
1851, it wiz find itsaIf most egregiously
mistaken, for in June, 1861, Colonel
Kellar was sustained by the people Of
Tennessee. The Avalanche cannot in
jure Colonel KeIlar in Memphis, for
there were only five votes in this city
against the sentiments Of Colonel Kel-
lars resolutions when Tennessee voted
for secession.

rHE KxIEE AND PIsTOI

There has been no deed Of terrible vio-
lenee done in this city for many months
and exemption from the repetition Of
numerous oTenses against Gods and
mans laws may now be invoked with
out offending that class Of people hold
ing the idea that the death penalty, in
hicted by the injured, is properfor wrong
full and false words spoken. The young
and hot-bIooded are imbued with this
false idea. With age comes the convic-
ton that bloOdshed approves and denies
nothing, and that life is too short and
too valuable to be wasted on 3 ~slanderer.
Fighting corrects no misconeeption Of
fact and no assertion Of falsehOod.
Memphis has happily escaped evils
incident to the aggregation Of that
p'swe1 mob which annually visits this
city in spring and autumn, and it were
well if the press, this once, fail to record
incidents Of crime which have often
startled mankind and given our own
people an infamous character abroad.
OF devilish and terrible deeds done here
the proper, fixed population Of Memphis
have rarely recognized the authors or
victims as Of their own number.
1t seems from the utterances Of
the New Orleans Times that the
cheerful pistol and the mettlesome
knife have been again at work ID that
city in the good cause O~fwreathing laurels
for social reputation. Two victims have
been addedtO the long list Of slaughtered
who 90 to swell the mortuary rolls Of
the thousands who have died there with
their boots on. It matters not that
Of the deceased had won his scalps long
ago in the same red work, and that two
long law-defying thieves have gone out
calamity together. No doubt there are
plenty Of younger men who, emulsting
their impulsiye lives and dramatic
deaths, viii be ready to supply their
places. From present appearances
New Orleans's reputation for hu-
man slaughter is not likely to
fade away or become impaired. Garry
ing knives and pieces Of artillery has
come to be recognized as an indispens-
able part of the wardrobe, and nothing
IS more admired than the sensitive
punctilliO and desperate eriminality
which prompts their frequent use. OF
course there is much in this to be thank
full for. Laws for the protection Of life
and property are entirely too h~um-drum,
commonplace and tardy in operation to
suit our fiery natures. The trigger is the
thing at all odds. It is well to reflect,
however, how far this lawlessness and
~mmderous spirit is likely to aid New
Orleans in its struggle for regenera-
ton and prosperity. As long as ruff
fanism is encouraged or tolerated, 50
long will the city be ostraeised from
fellowship with other law abiding com
munities. No doubt much Of the power
Jy,deprecisted credit and deeaying trade
is due to the ~lawlessuess which has be
come the ~disgrsoeful synonym Of New
Orleans. Before the people pirate OF
reform they had better divest them
selves Of the ever-ready knife and pistol
which now play such a prominent part
in governing society and moulding pub
lie opinion. Such a suggestion may be
reasonable TO tradition and custom, but
it is yet mOdestly given as worthy of
attention.

Froude and The HaFpers undertake the
task o. destroying the moral power Of
neIand's sons in America. Forty
years ago England had another
scheme TO accomplish. It was thought
IN England that the destruction
Of African slavery in America would
either destroy the Union, or at least
render American industry incapable Of
competing with India In cotton produc-
ton. Thompson, a member Of Pariia-
ment, lectured over the North, and
Garrison and Wendell Phillips and Mrs.
Stowe were born Of Thompson; and
Thompson accomplished the purposes OF
England and Of Exeter Hall. Froude
comes lecturing on Ireland's woes,
which he deems Ireland's crimes. He
would disfranehise Irishmen in Amer
lea, and assure the defeat Of Greeley,
who has ever been the truest friend o.
Ireland and the lifelong enemy OF
British commercial policy. Froude
would practically enslave Ireland in
America, even as Thompson sought to
hberate Africa IN America. If Froude
fail, he win not for the vast of support
at the hands Of RadicaIism; if he sue
coed, il viii be because Irishmen, in be-
ing false to the Conservative party, as
in this election in Tennessee, become
false to themselves. Let each Irishman
ponder over these alarming facts, and
act wisely on Tuesday next.

The New York Herald has a CORE
spondent in Memphis who is paying
close attention to things here and here
sbOuts. In a letter upon the Osceola,
Arkansas, troubles be very accurately
runsthem down into the person Of the
so-called Judge Fitzpatrick, who was
the primal cause and occasion Of them,
and after recOunting many things con.
nected with this last Radical rebellion
in bleeding Arkansas, adds the follow,
ing which will interest voters on the
other side Of the river:
Marion is evidently the base Of militis
operations, should any be ordered; bur
| the Marshals assure the people thatthey
shall not be molested if they keep the
I peace, which they seem well dis
posed TO do. Judge Fitzgerald is II
large on straw bail, and not likely
to return in a hurry. The Marshals
have examined the only registration
books they could find, being the State
duplicates, and find them blank, and nov
the people want to know what they
are to do about an election; 10 which
the Msrshals reply that the vote is about
equally divided, and it is no matter
whether it is cast at all, except for eoun-
ty officers, for which a special election
can be ordered. The ti-Radieal ma
iority Of the county is about two hun
dred.
Thus it viii be seen that Fitzpatrick
has accomplished his object, and Gree

The Suspension Of the Savings Bank
produced little effect in commercial cir
eles. Occurring Saturday afternoon,
bankers had time for reflection through
out Sunday, and instead Of q "run"
upon other banks, each was stronger,
with heavier deposits made Monday and
Tuesday, than on Saturday. There were
heavy operators in the cotton market,
who deserve popular gratitude. They
absolutely refused TO draw checks on
Monday for cotton bought Saturday,
fearing that such action might induce
( others 70 check out balances. Harun had
been made the bankers were prepared
to meet il, and there were those of them,
in a meeting held Sunday evening,
as We were informed, who stated that
nothing was more desirable than 3 thor
ough test Of the solidity Of the banks.
But there was no public alarm. The
sum Of deposits in the banks Tuesday
was greater than on Monday. In tact,
the causes for the suspension Of the
Savings Bank were 50 well understood
that it could by no possibility create
alarm. The subsequent conduct Of the
President Of the bank, Major Wicks and
Of Cashier Mcclure, was well calculated
to lessen, to the greatest possible extent,
any excitement, or bitterness Of feeling,
usually incident to such events. Not
only were the assets Of the bank applied
by an assignment to the extinction Of
its Indebtedness, but Major Wicks de-
voted his private property, even that
which was the separate property Of his
wife and inaccessible TO creditors, to
the purpose of relieving those who
entrusted their gains 10 the guardianship
Of an Institution Of which he is Presi-
dent. Many are subjected to serious in
convenience, but none 70 final loss. The
assets Of the bank, having an equal or
greater face value than the sum Of its
fndebtedness, viii only be required to
extinguish any balance due after Major
Wieks's available resources are ex-
hausted. Such has been the faultless-
ness Of his conduct that the most exact
ing and selfish Of the banks creditors
are forced 10 commend his honorable
action. In fact, creditors fear e criti-
else lest the response be made that their.
action, if in Major Wicks's position,
might be very different. Il Is said, Is a
last recourse Of fault-fndens and scolds,
that a bank has no right to fail. Since
newspapers sometimes explode as well
as merchants, and Farmers, and banks
are conducted by fallible men, and in
the instance before US surely by an hon
est gentleman, the criminality depends
wholly upon the purpose Of the event.
While therefore we regret the incident
In the city's commercial history, it has
surely ~inculcated, with a force neve
known before, the wisdom Of The max
i'm that honesty is the best policy. The
conduct Of Major Wicks and Of his asso-
ciates has Invested the calamity Of half
its terror, and for the first time the voice
Of calumny is silenced where accident
and misfortune find q victim.

The official vote in Georgia has at
last been counted, and is as follows:
A'4oz
smiths majority ,824
General Smith was the Democratic
nominee. He was an original seces-
sionist, q member Of the Confederate
Congress, and afterward a gallant soldier,
wounded in the military service Of the
South. The Democratic party of Geor-
gia gave him a solid vote. If an hide
pendent Democrat had entered the field
against General Smith and made war
upon the s~ecessionists, he would have
been Kissed by the people. If Georgia
can afford to be true to her true men,
Tennessee will make no sacrifice in
standing by such men as General
Cheatham, whose history is similar to
that Of General Smith, of Georgia.
Tennessee is the only State in which
war has been made upon original
secessionists. There are no independent
candidates outside Of this State. For
vile, selfish purposes a crusade has been
made against men for the great crime Of
being true to the South. Andrew John
son sneers at the idea Of electiDg to
Congress General Cheatham, who at
tempted to break up the government,
but it seems Georgia gives a majority Of
sixty-one thousand for General Smith, a
Confederate soldier. Tennessee should
and will initiate the example of her
sister by electing General Cheatham to
Congress.
