OUR readers must remember that
thus far the reports from the Somer-
vile and Austin riots are entirely one
sided. All telegraph news from the
Associated press agents in the South
comes from men in sympathy with
the Democratic party. While many
Of them are fair and honorable men,
by far the greater number are men
who get their news from prejudiced
sources. We have no noubt but that
when the facts are fully known there
will be seen to be quite another YER
sion. There is nothing 50 far given to
warrant the charge that the colored
people were organized for violence or
intended to commit murder and burn
towns. 1t is noticeable there now as in
the days OF the kuklux, the killing
is pretty much all on one side. Fuller
reports, however, will give clearer
light on this subject.

THERE is world of meaning in the
paragraph we copied yesterday morn
ing from the Nashville Banner, to the
effect that by the Inflammation of the
public mind on "civil rights, and
kindred questions, 1.-The politicians
have again nearly caught the people. !"
1t will require the closest attention
and the most constant care to keep
them from catching the people entire
ly. The public mind is infiamed on
" civil rights " and there is danger of
other questions being forgotten. While
the people are determined TO do every
thing necessary to prevent the passage
OF an odious law, as they.have right
to do and should do, they ought not
to forget that the management of their
State finances is in the hands of a cor.
rupt ring of INSCRIPTIONS politicians,
who would rather see the State plung-
ed into anarchy and civil war, than to
be forced to relinquish their grasp
from the purse strings of
the tax payer and from
the keys to the public treasury. The
people of Tennessee must learn.
while they are opposing the Civil
Rights Bill now pending in Congress
that eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" and that unless they drive
away the vultures that prey on the
body polite at the State capital the
State will be irretrievably ruined.
Every man with a spark of pa
triotism in his bosom wants to
maintain untarnished, the honors
and credit of his State. This
can only be done by electing honest
and capable men to the Legislature,
and to be Governor of the Common
wealth. Does any honest, reasonable
man suppose for moment, that ring
Of office-trading politicians can do II I?

position for a consideration, calculated

honest men look favorably upon his

and will the appointing power escape
condemnation, especially under the
circumstances Of the Hobbs-Burch
case? Are the people Of the State 90
ing TO shut their eyes TO such a state of
affairs and are they going to consent
that the same men shall dictate their
successors? Is such a grave accusation

State administration in this behalf 20

The NASHVILLE Banner referring
TO the passionate discussion Of the
Civil Rights Bill, stimuli. ting an
unnatural degree of excitement and
passion over imaginary horrors that
are not in the remotest possibility to be
realized, expressing itself as not at all
apprehensive that every negro will
have a white wife" 1t rebukes
very justly those papers that,
for political and partisan purposes,
have so misrepresented the provisions
Of the Civil Rights Bill as TO lead the
people to believe that it contains pro-
visions forcing the intermarriage of
the races and social equality, and all
sorts Of hOb.goblin features To such
misrepresentation is due the excite
ment that is now resulting in con-
nicts between the whites and blacks.
% alarmingly frequent all through the
State. Such conflicts may further DO
htical purposes, but they are the worst
possible advertisements for immigra-
ton and capital. They will do tha
btate immense harm. As the New
York Tribune well remarks, the in.
temperate Misrepresentation of the
civil Rights Bill" and the cry of a
white mans party" and "black

A GUERILLA WARFARE.


Harmony in political parties is indis-
pensable to success. II men aspiring
to position refuse to consult the inter
est of the party by subordinating their
personal aims to the wishes of the ma
jority, they no longer have claims up
on the party. They outlaw themselves
by their selfish course We have labor
ed earnestly forharmony and good will
in this Congressional district, and in
pursuance of this plan have long with
held any expression of preference Of
our own. But while we have acted
this part, others have takeE advantage
Of our policy for forbearauce, to carry
on n mean, guerilla warfare against
US. We have been personally assailed
in professedly Republican papers in
this district, far more Indignantly
and unjustly than in any Democratic
paper ever published. BY name the
editors of the CHRONICLE have been
assailed with all manner of billings
gate and vituperative language. This
paper, which we know possesses the
confidence of nine tenths of the RepuL-
leans Of the district has been signaled
out from all in this State for abuse by
these professed Republican papers.
The Democracy, and all the crimes Of
the State government, have been over
looked and forgotten, aud the CHRON.
ICLE alone been made the target for
calumny.
1t is very easy to advise harmony
and suggest an honorable settlement Of
differences between rival aspirauts, but
when one side deliberately sets out to
traduce and malign the other, as the
papers referred to have done now
for over two months, it can readily be
seen where the advice for harmony is
needed. We do not propose to sit by
tamely and submit to this kind of war
fare forever for the sake of promoting
the good of the party. The continual
of ISLANDERS uncontradicted
can not be allowed. What is the mean
ing of the policy referred to? If al
is intended and the claims
of aspirants are to be there submitted,
why is this war made upon men who
are expected and asked to abide by
that convention ? Do these papers that
have been villifying us expect to Co
operate with US in electing a Republi-
can nominee to Congress ? Ifso, they
have a queer way of indicating their
If they are determined to
divide the party and give the opposi.
ton an opportunity to elect their can
didate, they could not more clearly in.
dicste their purpose than by their pre-
sent policy.

IT turns out just as We knew it
would. The Democratic leaders have
no idea Of showing their sincerity in
opposing the Civil Rights Bill, by
electing a Republican of character and
influence, who will oppose the bill, to
the United States Senate. The Chat
tanooga Times wakes wroth over our
proposition to re-elect Senator Brown
low to the position he has filled so
creditably, and its anger CLOVIS out in
every sentence Of an editorial on the
subject. 1t sums up the matter as fol-
lows:
We respect Senator Brownlow for
the manly course he has pursued on
public questions. We owe him a debt
OF gratitude for his vigorous fight
against the class legislation attempted
by Congress. But in that he only did
his duty. He is not the only man in
the State who is opposed to this bill of
nominations his financial views are
unsound in the extreme 4; and final.
~ we owe him nothing but justice
and good will,
1t will be seen that his superior in
huence with members of Congress in
defeating the bill is not taken into con-
sideration al all, the only point made
being, " we owe him nothing" &c.
We are not surprised at all, and es-
pecially are we not surprised at these
utterances from one who was willing
to, and did join negro regiment dur.
ing the war for office, and who would
advocate the Civil Rights Bill now, if
he could gain official position thereby.
The best way to test what man under
such circumstances is by what he has
been.

NOTWITHSTANDING Col. Thorn
burgh voted against taking up the
Civil Rights Bill in the House and is
well known TO be inflexibly opposed to
the bill, we expect and our readers
may expect hypocritical, mercenary,

to misrepresent his position, and to
make him appear as favoring it..
They are determined to "rule or ruin :"
and will not scruple as to means.

HOW 4 CHIyAMAN PERsUADES A MULE.

The Chinese are always kind to animals
and never punish; hence a mule that in
the hands OF "a foreigner would be not only
useless. but dangerous to every one about
it, becomes. in possession of Chinamans
as quiet as a lamb and as tractable as a
dog. We never beheld runaway, a iib-
bing, or a vicious mule or pony in China
man employment: but found the same
rattling, cheerful pace maintained over
heavy or light roads by means OF tar-r
or clu6 k, the beast turning to the right or
left and stopping with but hint from the
reins. This treatment is extended TO all
animals they press into their service. Of
ten have | admired the tact exhibited in
getting IL large drove Of sheep through
narrow, crowded streets and alleys by
merely having a little boy to lead one ofthe
quietest of the flock in front; all the others
steadily followed, without aid either from
IA yelping cur or u cruel goad. Cattle,
pigs. aud birds are equally cared for,
1racels on horseback. ~
