If north Mississippi wishes to dis
solve its connection with the more
Africanized portion of the State, it
will have to try some other dodge than
that of new State. But is it just
and patriotic, in that people, to aband-
on the bulk of their State to the evils
which must follow hopeless negro
ascendency? Ought they not, on the
contrary, to cling to their. suffering
brethren and work with zeal and ener-
gy to avert the very condition of things
which things are striving to make per-
petual by their selfish abandonment !?
As they stood together to resist north
ern aggression, so should they stand,
shoulder to shoulder, to resist the
fend-like northern Vaccinations to
degrade them to the level of a semi
barbarous race, designedly freed from
the condition of slaves to be promoted
to that of master. Virginia was forci-
bly, sundered, that the eastern por-
ton might be more thoroughly Afri-
canized and made an easier victim of
northern hate. Will north Missis-
sippi voluntarily inhict the same
wrong and degradation upon its south
ern portion? If SO, it is unworthy of
utilization with any portion of Ten
nessee.

SOME of our exchanges deny that the
constitutionality of the assessment law
was before the Supreme Court in the
case of McCray VS.. McLemore. Such
a denial is, we think, hasty and ill-ad-
vised. The Supreme Court is the
guardian, as well as expounder, of the
Constitution, and every case brought
before it, whether as an original prop
osition, or an appeal from a lower
court, necessarily involves the question
of constitntionality-it being the pri-
mary duty of that court to see that no
law shall be enforced which is not in
accord with the Constitution. Its de-
cisiOns, therefore, whether that point
be directly embraced in the argument
or not, is prinsa Jdcie evidence that the
court assumed the law in question to
be constitutional, however silent it
may be in reference to that point.
Were it otherwise than constitutional,
the court is bound to so declare it
especially in a case such as the one re-
ferred to, in which there is-to many
seeming conflict between a former
act and this of 1873.

THE indications are that English
sentiment is strengthening in favor of
conservatism. The people of Great
Britain have lived for centuries, under
a government that secured for them,
stability, prosperity and justice to a
greater degree than any other govern
ment. With the example of France,
Spain, Mexico, South America and the
United States before them, what can
they hope from change, except bloody
revolution, anarchy, poverty of the
millions, corruption and intensified
tyranny. Theirs is the only govern
ment on earth under which life
and property are safe and an approx
nation to rational liberty secured to
each individual. No people on earth,
are of capable unrestricted self
government, and when. as here, grossest
ignorance and the foulest corruption
are made politically equal to the high
est intelligence and integrity, there
can be but one result-the over
throw of the wisest institutions the
supremacy of corruption over nation
al virtue and lawless violence over or
der and justice.

THE Chicago Times has a column
and half devoted to the southern
code of honor" We detest duelling
as mode of arbitrating social and
personal disagreements, between gen.
tlemen whose sense of honor discards
any more rational adjustment of quar-
rels. But We deny the right of north
ern men to denounce or ridicule the
code of honor until they can contrast
it with a code of their own which will
as effectually put stop to official steal
ing in the north, as the duel represses
blackguardism in the social intercourse
of the south. There is a show of
magnanimity in the code which gives
to the offender an equal chance with
the offended in the arbitrament of the
sword but where is the magnanimity
of the official thief who steals because
he can do it with impunity? of the as
sassin who avenges himself by blow
in the dark2 When the south was
truly represented in Congress, official
stealing was as rare as official honesty
is now. The Northerners should be
silent about our code until it becomes
manifest that it is as prolific of thieves
as their puritan code has proven to be,

Cheap for the Farmers.


Many of the oranges have employed
purchasing agents, who are now buy
ing farming and domestic machinery
at wholesale prices. The wholesale
dealers in Chicago at first refused to
sell, except at retail prices, to the
agents of the oranges saying that BY
so-doing they would lose the trade OF
agents and retail dealers. Most Of
them have, however, reconsidered this
determination, and the saving made
by farmers by purchasing through the
agents, is from ten to fifty per cent
A farmer in Bureau county gave me
some figures that will illustrate the
working of this system A good farm
wagon, complete. retails at s100; the
grange purchases it for $40. A pillow
for which the farmers have been pay
ing SD granger gets for SIC. A SCI
sewing-machine is purchased for $50
and $50 one for $50. From $40 tC
$50 is saved on the price of parlol
organ. A rapidly growing competition
seems to have sprung up among the
wholesale dealers for the custom Of
the oranges, and whatever other result
the movement may have, the farmer:
will be greatly benefited by the CO.
operative purchases. 4i Ts

EDITORS CHRONICLE Il notice in
your last issue that the County School
Superintendent is allowed one dollar
for the examination of each teacher,
who applies to him for certificate.
Please inform us who makes this al
lowance. If l mistake not, the Legis-
lature did not. If the County Court
did, is it legal? They were empower
ed to elect him and fix his salary,
which they did-at five hundred dol
lars-they can now only remove him
for neglect or incompeteucy. The
State Superintendent has no such au-
thority, if l comprehend the law; if
allowed one dollar for the examina-
ton of teachers, why not allow one
dollar for every school he organizes,
and dollar for every time he visits
them. Be so kind as to inform us
(teachers) through your paper, who
makes the allowance, and oblige,

THE Indians are still on the ramp
age in Texas. Unless Grant looks,
with pleasure, upon the sufferings OF
that State, we can not see what federal
troops are doing there. They could
go into Mexico to fight the Indians,
but can't protect the Texas frontier
We can only account for this state OF
things upon the supposition, that the
greater the depredations upon Texas
the better the chances for war with
Mexico, and sinee McKensie's invasion
failed to bring on war, the grin and
endure policy will lead to war, ulti-
mately, by the direct action Of this
Radical government.

| rwo.EDGED SWORD.

OF course, the people of the North
care not straw, what political, or
other ills, any southern State endures
at the hands of the administration,
still they are wilfully blind to their
own interests, when they fail to see
that the same power which crushes
liberty and prosperity in the South,
has the same constitutional autholity
for the exercise of similar tyranny
over the rights and liberties of the
North. So far, the despotism at Wash
ington, has acted with the full sanction
of majority of the northern people,
who, constituting part and parcel of
that lawless ring, have foolishly be-
lieved that their willing cooperation
is ample security that they will never
feel the wrongs and insults and OPP
pressions which they have so joyously
aided in heaping upon the South
This security may fail; the arch con-
spirators against free government on
this Continent, are too shrewd to strike
before their victims are bound, and
acting under the sanction of the north
ern States, coil after coil is being woven
around those now conserving people
fetter after fetter is being riyetted, and
the day is not distant when the mask
can be safely thrown off and every
northern State become a Louisiana
The wicked, or infatuated people who
uphold the administration in its bar
barism, as displayed in South Caro-
lima and Louisiana are aiding in es-
tablishing precedent, under which
they are even now, at the mercy OF
that heartless power, so far at least, as
its exercise is restricted by any recog-
nized constitutional provisions.
The Constitution has long been dis
carded by the party in power, las a
convenant with death and league
with hell and that same party has re-
cieyed every violation of its proyis-
ions, in dealing with the South, with
shouts of appreciation. This appro-
val has been continual encourage
ment to the usurpers who are quietly
concentrating their scheme for the
establishment of an empire under
which the tyrants and thieves-the
millionares and rings can find shelter
from the penalty that awaits them
should an awakened majority .hurl
them from power and justice demand
an account of their villainous proceed
ings. But that awakening is not like
ly to come, SO long as Radicalism has
unlimited capital, and SO many thous.
ands are willing to receive portion
of it, in exchange for liberty and jus.
tice and honor

THE Washington Capital says there
is reason to fear that the hopeful and
promising attempt at a better under
standing and better feeling between the
two races in Louisiana has come to
shipwreck upon the short-sighted ar
rogance and greed of the negro polite
ians.
Would it not have been more truth
full to say the long-sighted villainy Of
the Radicals who never intended that
the two races, in the South should
harmonic, lest Radicalism might
lose the negro votes?

THE "Old Dominion" has glorifed
itself by honorlng its foremost warri-
ors. statesmen and incorruptible pa
triots. With Kemper. Withers and
Daniel as standard bearers, there can
be little to fear from the efforts of the
Shack Nasty party. The magnanim-
ity with which members of the con-
yention surrendered their preferences
and the unanimity with which the Con-
servatives are coming to the support
of their ticket affords the pleasing as
surance of a glorious victory Let
Tennesseeans look on this picture and
contrast it with the picture of discord
which they presented last year and
promise to exhibit again in their next
election.
