National opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1865-1874, 1872-11-01

The effort Of the draf ed men to
secure legislation which will compel
the State to pay back the S300.c ON
mutation money paid by them dur.
Ing the war, is being pushed vi u.
Ously. From the petitions which
pour in upon the Legislature from
humorous towns, it might seem tina
this move had resulted from con
yiction among those who paid the
Communication money that they had
not been justly treated; but from
recent developments we are satisli
ed the whole scheme was entered
into and prosecuted by few men
in tiIcsStatc, as a speculation. We
have this testimony in favor of this
view of the matter: a certain man
from ''Over the mountains" came TO
certain man of influence in this
vicinity and desired him to Join q
ring" organized for carrying this
matter through the Legislature;
arc wanted him TO operate in this
section IN obtaining petitions, and
in buying up the claims of drafted
men at Il discount.
We trust that our legislators vii
be able to appreciate, in some faint
degree, the exalted patriotism and
unbiased sense Of justice which
prompts these men to labor so ar
duosly for Il measure by which they
hope to put "much moneys into
their own pockets
We fail to see any just grounds
for this demand upon the Treasury
of the State. In the first place it
was not to the State but to the gen
cral government that the money
was paid. The service Of the indi
Nidual was due to the general gov
crnment, and if he made any con.
tract with the Government with re
spect to that service howdOes he now
ask the State to step in as a party
to the contract I
Those who paid the $500, volun.
tarily entered into a contract with
the Government; they paid their
money aud received what they then
considered an equivalent, in exemn
ton from military seryice-else why
did they pay their money! if they
now think they ought not to! have
paid the money, or that having paid
it, it ought to be refunded to them,
why do they not go to the General
Government fol it; and seek to re
cover their money from the party 10
whom it was paid, if it was paid
Wrongtullv
If the drafted man who paid CON
mutation money is entitled to recov-
or back his money, why is not the
man who paid money to hire a sub.
stitute also entitled 10 recover back |
ms money. They both paid their
money for the same purpose. i. e. to
have some one else taae their place
in the ranks Of the ANN: and if |
one citizen is entitled 10 have the
State pay what It cost him to avoid
serving in the army any Other citi.
zen is entitled to the same relief.
We hope and believe that no such
measure as the on" asked for Will
pass the Legislature. at this or a8y
future session. /,

THE telegraph yesterday morning in
formed us that a resolution declaring that
universal suffrage demands universal ed
ucation,u and advocating the necessity for
a common school education for every
child in the State" was offered in the Mis-
souri, Democratic Convention, which met
with SO much!opposition that it was with
drawn. This illustrates the true spirit of
Democracy. Find man who is an earn
est supporter of free schools and you will
find man who is not thoroughly relia-
BILE Democrat. The Missouri Democrats
are in some measure the ioriginators and
leaders of the Greeley movement, and their
voice on the question of public education
may be regarded as the voice of Democra-
CIV in general. There are individual ex
ceptions, but there can be no doubt but
that the party. as a party, is unfriendly to
the education of the masses. This has be-
come to be so well understood, that the ac-
ton of the Missouri Democracy creates no
surprise. 1t however serves as reminder
of the policy of that party, and is very OPP
perfume. We are glad the question came
up. 1t will not be forgotten in the coming
elections.

Unless we have been greatly misinformed,
the State has lost hundreds of thousands
in the disposition of delinquent railroads.
Coy. Brown may not have so intended it,
and we do not charge that he did, but he
ought to have prevented it. No reason
can be given for his continuance in the
high office which he holds, that will salts
fy a reasonable, unprejudiced man. Moth
ing short of rigid party discipline, and a
constant application of the party lash will
keep him there.
And how is it with Gen. Cheatham, who
has just been nominated for Congress from
the State at large? Personally, he is a
clever man and good citizen, but what
qualifications does he possess that fits him
for seat in Congress? None on earth.
1t would be idle folly for his friends to say
that he did not obtain the nomination for
the high office he seeks, ON his military
record alone. If he had not been Lieut..
General in the Confederate Army and &C.
quired some reputation as fighter in be-
half of the Lost Cause, he would never
have been mentioned in connection with
that office. But is his military record a
sufficient reason to satisfy the people of his
fitness for the office? Certainly not
We might give other Instances that
would confirm the idea above held out,
that Tennesseeans are not always gov
erned by reason, when taking important
steps. They are in the hands of corrupt

leaders, who care for.self. more than coun-
try. We rejoice at the signs of hopeless
breakdown of this party, and our hopes
will be fulfilled, if the people will only
stop to inquire into the reason for their ac-
tions, e

LET Us BE GOVERNED BY REASON

The American people have always en-
joyed the credit of inquiring into the reason
of things. When they have meditated
taking any important step, affecting their
general prosperity, they have inquired in
to the reasons that should govern them in
taking such step. But can this be said
consistently about the people of Tennessee?
What reason can they give for many of
their public acts in the past? What rea-
son can they now give for continuing
Gov. Brown in office for another term
What qualification has he shown for the
position? He is probably capital man to
inaugurate and preside over social re-
ception party and knows how to make his
guests feel easy and at home. He CONVEX
ses fluently and is most pleasant COM
panion, but judging him in the light of his
past administration, what capacity has he
to deal with the important
financial questions in which the State is
so deeply interested? What practical sug-
gestion has he made on any of the great
questions of the day? What has he done
to develope our natural resources? What
has he done for education or immigration
We ask, what has he done to materially
benefit the State? Suppose we give him
the credit of an honest intention to pre-
serve peace and sustain law, has he done
it? Why, right here in an adjoining
county, just few weeks ago, an molten
sive, industrious colored man was shot
down in the most eowardly manner, al
most in sight of the Sheriff. Through the
incapacity if not by the collision of that
officer, the murderer escaped, and is now
atlarge. No effort is being made, SO far
as we know, to arrest him. The Cover
nor has never offered cent as a reward
for his apprehension.
