The State Gazette draws a parallel
between the situation in Mississippi,
and ours here. His deductions are
very just. There it was simply a
fight inside of the Radical family, and
while law right aud justice we're adj
violated the successful candidate will
be seated. While here, no law was
violated, and no injustice was done,
and our man il manipulated out by
a court having no jurisdiction in the
matter. We take the "horns" for un-
fairness from Mississippi, with great
ease.

THE CoLORED ELEMENT,

A colored convention for Davidson
county was held at Nashville last Sat
urday to select delegates to attend the
State colored convention, to be held
there on the 2sth of April, and thirty
five delegates were appointed. There
was some very lively speaking. Nelson
Walker said:
The colcred people had been the bone
and sinew, as it we're, of the Republican
party in Tennessee during the past six
years, but they had reaped very little
benefit from it. 1t had been said that
the colored people contemplated with.
drawing as a political component part
from their white fellow-citizens, because
they were beginning to assert their man
hood in denouncing the manneri in which
they had been unwarrentably ignored by
those whom they had elevated to official
positions.
Take the colored vote from this State,
and where, be asked, would the Repub-
lican party stand2 The Republican
party in Tennessee owed to the colored
people all it had gained; it was owing
to their votes that seven Congressman
from this State, claimed as Republicans,
now enjoyed the official robes in which
they we're encased. But what had the
colored people received in returnp They
had been ignored as to political prefer
ment in the city, in the State, and In
Offices within the gift of the party In
power in the United States. They had
consented to be nothing more nor less
than the hewers of wood and the draw
ers OF water. 1t was high time they
were claiming some recognition as
other citizens in country common to
all, and unless they were, so help him
God, neither Republican nor Demo
Graf should get his vote.

ter. The people were not looking for
such hasty action, though we hope i
NAV all work out for the best. The
Overton Hotel would not sell to re-
sponsible party for $4,000 at auction.
The county. however, is able to pay the
price given. fit can be changed into any
thing like a commodious courthouse for

ESQUIRE Caldwell has introduced a
resolution in the Quarterly Court pro-
viding for the appointment of superin.
tendeHt of county bridges, whose duty it
shall be to repair the bridges on notice
from the magistrates, and TO superintend
the building of new ones and all work
done on bridges. 1t is believed that
such an officer, if practical man, would
save the county at least $4,000 per
annum. Many of the bridges are
ruined for the want of little time
ly attention. An instance occurred
last spring, where a bridge that cost
$500 fell down before it had been
travelled over Another splendid bridge
that cost $1,000 washed away three
months after it was finished. These
disasters and many others similar might
have been prevented by proper atten-
ton 1t is proposed that all necessary
repairs or improvements, not to exceed
SIS, shall be made on the order Of the
Superintendent, larger sums to be
ordered paid only by the Court.
