Democracy and Radicalism

1t is now demonstrated that the De.
mocracy cling to their distinctive doc
trines with Al honesty Of conviction
which nothing car shake. Here is the
~invincible strength of the party. 1t is
the only living power of any party or
of any man, in accomplishing any end
worthy of history. This deep earnest
conviction Of Democrats that their doc
trines are true, that they lie at the root
and are the condition Of the fact Of u
free government, is a living power,
well nigh omnipotent. The Radical
party have not this sort of conviction.
They contend fol Office. They con-
tend for the loaves and fishes. Their
policy is to enrich themselves, care,
less Of The means by which they do it.
Look at the history OF Radicalism in
each Southern State since the close of
the war. Look at what is now doing
in New Orleans and what it aimed to
do in Texas last fail. SO soon as it's
argument and moral suasion fail, its
resort is to brute force. 1t has no re.
spect for the constitution hence ii
kicks it whenever one Of its provisions
stands in the way of the party.

"PREMIUM NOTES."
The Ghost of the "SOuthern In,
surance Company"

In the Supreme Court lately, says
the Nashville Banner, an opinion was
delivered by Justice Turney, ola ma
turc calculated to call up rather un
pleasant "reminiscences in the minds of
those who were unlucky enough to
hold policies in the ''Southcrn Insu.
rance Company The case decided
was that of Samuel N. Thomas vs. j.
r. Berry. Thomas gave his 'premium
note as n policy holder, but soon
scented something wrong, and refused
to pay it, and was sued at Franklin by
Berry, who will be remembered as the
originator and manager ofthe swindle.
This was in November, 1868, just a few
weeks before the concern bursted.
Berry got Judgment for the company"
and Thomas took an appeal to the Su-
prcme Court. The case was not reach
cd until this term.
Justice Tulney's opinion Is brief but
emphatic and to the point, concluding
as follows:
Trying the record by the charter,
the Safe conclusion is that the South.
EN- Insurance Company was conceived
in fraud, and to enforce the collection
OF this note is not only to compel pay
ment for no consideration, but would
be to sustain a fraud, but little, if at
all, less than felony.

Lease OF the Memphis ~ Charles
ton Railroad.

The stockholders of the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad met lately at
Memphis for the ratification Of the
lease of that road. Among the stock
holders there has been n diversity of
opinion as to the propriety of the
lease, There is an Alabama statute,
W. believe, which forbids the exccu,
ton of any lease to run longer than
twenty years. The proposed lease OF
the Memphis and Charleston Railroad
is for forty-fve years. If the stock
holders agree to this lease, the Ala
bama Legislature will have 70 pass a
special act to legalize it. So says the
Nashville Banner.

The Bench and the Bar.

While efforts are being made by the
members Of the Bar, in New York
TO reform the Bench, and divest
it of the partizansh,p and tavoritism
which, unhappily, has worked much
mischief and retarded the ends of JUS
tice, the Express ventures to suggest
that certain members Of the bar be also
brought under examination upon the
following heads:
1st-Using their influence to bring
suits without merit, which are settled
by the payment Of enormous fees, in
which fees, at times, counsel on both
sides profit, and sometimes only on
one.
2d-The imposition of fees beyond
the amount Of money claimed by either
defendant or plaintiff.
3d-The eating out Of the substance
Of widows, orphans and others by ex-
actions which leave nothing to the un
fortunate.
4th--The institution OF suits which
are settled by a system of matchmaking
Of citizens.
5th--The use of the law, which we
have been told is the accumulated wis.
dom Of ages, and the science Of the
law, which is the perfection of human
reason y as many believe, for private
benefit against the public good, or to
serve the lawyer at the expense of JUS
tice and fair play.
Even a legal writer in the Times is
forced TO say:
We have made litigation more prof
table to lawyers, and more obstruct
i've Of the ends Of justice, than So!or
ever dreamed Of. We have doubled
lawyers fees, costs, and made perjury
so easy that a man may swear to any
thing upon information and belief
without fear Of prosecution We have
reared "A class OF mechanics with law a.
a trade, with a horde Of lawyers ap
prentices, journeymen lawyers, ant
boss lawyers, who ply their trade will
true mechanical skill, The Bar AS
ISOLATION has its due quota of thcs'
classes, and the daily proceedings o
the Courts give evidence Of the fac
that the high-toned, honorable lawye
is deserving the forum, and hides hi
diminished head within the sanctity o
his private office.
The Express goes on to say that a
the bar as on the bench, with lawyer
in court as with judges on the bench
those who call themselves reformer
often need reforming. The system o
charges for legal advice often show a.
much greed, scltlshness and cruelty a,
were ever practiccd in a den of Shy
locks.

That notorious rascal, Foster Blod-
gett, ofGeorgia, is voted $4,000 of the
public money tor contesting the seat
Of the really elected Senator Of that
State-Mr. Norwood. This practice
offers a premium to get up contested
election cases, and is all wrong. We
agree with the Louisville Ledger, that
the practice of paying defeated candi-
dates in these cases is liable to unjust
and outrageous abuses, by which the
Government is robbed of hundreds of
thousands Of dollars annually. This
great wrong ought to be remedied if
possible. Notwithstanding the motto.
