EXTRA SESSION RECOmMENDED.


The Memphis appeal of the DIST argues
st length in favor Of an extra session of the
Tennessee Legislature with q view of post
pon:Dg the collection of taxes. 1t argues
that scarcity of currency and the immov-
ability of products affect our farmers as Sc
riously as those of Mississippi. This is
perhaps putting it too strong, so far as the
State at large is concerned, but the appeal
adds:
"Then, there is the city of Memphis with
a population equal TO two or three of some
Of The counties, Frustrated to the earth by
that which is more than commercial or
monetary pauic. Should not some le- isia.
tive aid be extended to her suffering people?
If the present frost finally kills the
pestIlsnce, shall remorseless creditors
be permitted to pounce down upon our peo-
pie, and throw them out of house and
home? Would not law staying the colec-
ton of debts, until such time Is would find
the city on her commercial and manufac-
turing feet again, and the present panic
cycle thing of the far past, be wise and
timely act Of public polcy? We think so.
Certainly there will be need Of legislative
assistance of some sort for the stricken city
Of Memphis; and in view of the difficulty
which the whole people of the State will
have in meeting the demands of the tax
gatherer, we would respectfully suggest TO
bis EXcellency Gov. Brown the expediency
OF calling an extra session Of the legisla-
ture."

A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.
STATEMENTS

Col. L. w. Hughes, the Republican can.
didate for Governor of Virginia, made q
speech at Alexandria on the evening of the
18th inst, in which be assumed some rather
singular positions.
L. He denied the charge that the Repub-
licans desired TO establish negro rule in
Virgins, and put his denial, as reported by
the Washington Republican, in this shape:
'Negro rule was impossible. There
were o3O,OOO white people and only 5l2, 900
colored persons in the State, and while the
whites have majority in sixty-fiVe coun-
ties the ooiored people have only thiTty-tWo
counties. The whites have not only num-
hers, but nearly all the property in the
State, and nearly all the education or the
ability for affairs OF State. TWAS idle, then,
10 talk of negro rule"
This confession as to who hold the prop
erty and who are the educated and posses
the ability for affairs Of State, is singularly
unfortunate for Col. Hughes. The vote at
TIE last election for Governor, which was in
1869, was, for Walker, the present incum-
bent, 1855, and for Wells, Republican,
1Ol,2O4. The United States census shows
that there were in Virginia in 1870, 161, 500
white and 1O769l colored males of twenty
one years of sge and upwards. Almost
the entire vote for Walker was
white; that for Wells nearly all COL
ored. These facts show that if Hughes
shall be elected Governor, it will
be mainly by the votes of the colored peo-
pie, who, according to bis own statement,
possess but little property or education, "or
the ability for affairs of State" What a
picture for candidate to present ofhis own
pSrtyI
IL. Col. Hughes denied that the Repub-
licans Of Virginia desired to force social
equality, in the following words:
"This was absurd. It was impossible to
Inske social equality by law. He was not
in favor Of the civil rights bill. That bill is
not Republican measure"
The civil rights bill was introduced in
the Senate by Mr.. Sumner, who was then
10 high favor with the Republicans, and it
passed that body on Feb. 2, 1866, by q vote
of .38 yeas call Republicans) against y
Nays Democrats and Liberal Republic
cans. 1t passed the House of Representa-
tives on March Is by IL yeas Gall Republic
cans) against IS nsys-32 Democrats and 6
Republicans. On March p President Johr-
son vetoed the bill. On April 6 the Senate
passed the bill over the Presidents obiec-
tons by SO yeas (all Republicans) against
ID Days-10 Democrats and 5 Liberal Re-
publicans; and on April o it passed the
House Of Representatives by 122 yeas Gall
Rapublicans) against Al nays-34 Demo-
cats and Republicans and Unionists. If
that does not make it q Republican
measure, what on earth could make
it such? And Jet with this his
tory-not a single Democrat voting for It
Col. Hughes stands up within sight of the
capitol at Washington, and soemnly de-
clares that it is not Republican measure.
This civil rights act goes to the very verge
of enforcing social equality, stopping
onlv at the threshold of the private
dwelling Of The citizen. II enforces
EQUALITY in the railroad cars, on steamboats,,

IT appears that in consequence of the
scarcity of currency, the Eagle and Phoenix
Manufacturing Company of Columbus, Ga.
has issued certificates Of indebtedness to
their employees. They have been passing
current in Columbus, ard the EufsulA
(Ala-) Times of the 19.h inst, publishes a
card signed by sixty-seven merchants of
that town agreeing to take these certificates
for goods and debts, or to furnish N rthern
exchange for said certificates. They say
they have taken legal advice that there is no
violation ofl2w in this proceeding.

On Frids,y the Sd inst, the wife of Geo.
Brown, a colored man residing in this place,
gave birth to child. On The sunday fol-
lowing, probably forty-eight hours sfter the
occur ence narrated above, she gave birth to
another. This is said to be one of the most
remarkable cases on record, aud a parallel
for it has never been known in this region.
A still more singular occurrancs is the
fact thst lady residing in Ritchie county,
aged eighty-thrae years, few days ago

In the opinion of the New York EUening
Post, 'the most dishearteniDg features Of
our recent financial troubles are the repeat
ed instances of dishonest practices on the
part of bank officers" for which we have
no better words of condemnation than the
words "defslcation" and "irregularity."
The bank presidents and directors are, in a
great measure, responsible for this swind-
ling and robbery, inssmlch as they fail to
exercise a proper supervision over the prl-
va.e lives of their employees.

0akdaIc Iron Company.

In referring TO the contemplated estab-
lishment, by the Oakdale Iron Company,
iof Rolling Mill at Kingston, our neigh
Dor of the Athens Post, has the following /:
The Kingston East IennesSeean states
that the Oakdnle Company are vigorously
pushing ahead opening mines, building
houses, etc. The erection of their furnace
progressing, Il number of mon em-
ployed, and already Oakdale presents the
appearance of thriving village. 1t Is
said that the Company contemplate estab-
fishing a rolling mill after awhile, and it is
thought that Kingston, situated at the
confluence of the Clinch and Tennessee
and the center of q populous and produc'
tive section, will be selected as the most
eligible point.
Kingston is among the oldest towns in
the State, and, like our own pleasant
village retains too many marks of antiqm
ty. In some respects it possesses superior
advantages, and under the influence of the
! spirit of development and progress now
| being initiated in East Tennessee, IT may
become the seat of large and prosperou!
manufacturing interest. We refer TO the
subject, because the first time we visited
the place-thirty odd years ago-we wer
struck with its advantages in point of loca
! ton. With abundance of iron, coal AM
| timber close at hand and resting upon tin
banks of two magnificent streams, VIII
| shall say that it does not stand rs good
chance to become the "Pittsburg of tn
South as either Knoxville, Chattanooga
or any other place now striving with com
mendable energy and emulation for tina
distinction.
