monthly issue of this popular
magazine, for it contains just such

ticles and poetry arr, always sea-
sonable and good, So good in fact,
that some Of the peopl. in the
country are regular subscribers to

pleasure. This is sigu of popu-
larity which is appreciated by the

Bw "Oliver," the Nashville
correspondent of the Louisville
COurer-JouyWal, wants a con-
vention held in Nashville to
nominate Frank Cheatham for
Governor and endorse Andy
johnson for Senator. He says:
F'This wouldconciliatea all sides,
and such a ticket would sweep
the State like a prairie fire in
August. The Radicals would
stand back aghast at such a pow
erful combination. They could
do nothing against it but paw
the ground and snort like mad
bulls with red rags on their tails.
The johnson men would be
conciliated, and nothing else
will conciliate them, for their
motto all the time has been:
"Johnson or a row." This
would bring them around all
lovely AMI smiling and they
would go to work energetically
in the Democratic vineyard,
much as the prodigal son did Of
old, after he had come back from
! a wild goose chase, with his legs
tired and his stomach empty.
"This is the best plan for a
compromise yet hit upon. 1t is
the thing to do. Frank Cheat
ham deserves something, for he
was cheated out of the cleo
ton to Congress year beforelast,
owing to circumstances "ovcr
which he had no control" Give
him the nomination for Cover
nor, and the boys who wore the
gray, as long as they had any
to wear, will go for him with a
WhoOp and a yell.
To which the Shelbyville
Gazette pithily adds:
True, Cheatham was defeated
by Andy year before last, but
we can't see that the people owe
him anything for that, but we
do think they are indebted to A.
j. to the extent of a worse de-
feat than that of Cheatham's.
If he had not suffered himself
used by the Radicalparty Cheat
ham would have been elected.
1t is just as "Oliver" says, their
motto has always been: "John-
son or a row." If we are' to
have either, for Gods sake give
us the row.

claimed into the rule of RESPONSE
bility in eases of crime may well
cause courts to pause before assen-
ting to it. Indulgence in evil pas
sions weakens the restraining pow
err of the will and conscience and
the rule suggested would be the
cover for the commission of the
crime, aud its justification. The
doctrine that criminal acts may be
excused upon the notion of an If
resistible impulse to commit them,
where the offender has the ability
to discover his legal and moral du
ty in respect to them, has no place
in the law.

Roman Van Rampony, an
Austrian officer and a student
at the University of Innsbruck,
was recently challenged by sew
.eral members Of an atheistic
club. He refused to fight, be-
ing a good Catholic, and conse-
quentIy has been dismissed from
the Austrian service.
There must be a mistake about
this. 1t is not likely that al
officer would he discharged
from the Austrian service fol
refusing TO fight a duel. And
if he were discharged, he is eli
titled to the respect and applause
of all civilized men.

80 From the Sparta hader we
learn that the Quarterly Court
Of White county ordered suit
broughtagainst the Memphisand
Charleston Railroad Company
for noncompliance of contract
by which they became purchas-
erS of the South Western rail
road, in not extending said road
to Sparta by the first of Janua-

Gen. Dibrell and Thomas Pope
make the necessary arrange

which is to be commenced at an

Negro Rule.

In Louisiana, many real estate
owners are willing to rent their
property to any one who will
pay the taxes on the same.
One of the oldest merchants in
New Orleans, in a recent letter
to a correspondent in Boston,
says the population of New
Orleans has fallen off in two
years 10000, and there are no
less than 5000 houses aud stores
at present unoccupied. Fifteen
years ago New Orleans was at
the acme Of its wealth, prosper
tity and commercial impor-
lance, second only to New
i ork and Boston. Its river
and ocean tonnage in port,
loading and discharging, was
seldom less than 10000 tons,
and in the business seasons OF
the year double that amount.
In Charleston, S. c., We'd
nesday, of the last week, the
Mills House, which cost over
two hundred thousand dollars
in gold, was sold for twenty
seven thousand dollars. Sure
ly there is urgent need Of some
remedy. 1t would have been
far better for the cotton States
if they had been held alter the
war under military rule. Bet
ter a despotism than the present
state of affairs. Better for them
monarchy than a republic.

The editors of the Sparta IN

Era have both interviewed Col.
Thos. b. Murroy, a member Of
the Democratic State Executive
Committee, upon the subject
Of calling a State Convention,
and their published statements,
though differing in some res
poets, give the information that
no Convention will be called by
the committee. This course
seems to have been agreed up
Oh informally by the members
of the committee, and is an eff
fort to conciliate the Andy John
son wing, the friends of Mr..
johnson having charged that
the Democratic party is gov
erned by a ring, and that the
convention which nominated
Cheatham was packed. Instead
of calling meeting through
the Executive Committee, it is
proposed 10 refer the whole
matter to the Democratic voters
of each county, who will hold
mass meetings, and appoint De-
egates 10 a State Convention,
the time and place of holding
it to be determined by the peo-
pie.

The Bulletins Islander of the Militia
Captain Bush's Statement.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
notice an editorial in the evening Bmlle-
tim entitled COURAGE by the negro militia, y
stating that after the militia had returned
from Che decoration Of the soldiers graves,
and being harangued by the civil rights
speech of Governor Warmoth, they entered
the drug store of one Mr.. Meyer by force,
AID a riot was only prevented by the inter
ference of some negro officers. The whole
statement is untrue. The militia was not
at Camp Chalmette at all, did not leave the
city, nor did they hear a word OF the Gov
ernor's speech, as it could not be heard
that distance. In regard to the drug store,
there was not disrespecttul word ex-
changed. and there were but few men
there. General Barber had issued orders
for no one to leave the ranks without per
mission, and it was promptly obeyed. The
behavior of the troops was as good as OF
any l ever saw N the United States army
or any other place.

what is going on before hastily trying to
bias the minds of its readers.

Bishop Haven and "Mexico."


Last evening, at the Ames Methodist
Episcopal Church, Bishop Gilbert Haven
delivered an entertaining lecture on "Mex
leo; its history, condition and prospects,"
which was attentively listened to by a
comparatively small audience.
Standing in New Orleans, in close prox-
unity to the gulf that reaches to the land
of which he was to speak, the bishop felt
q nearness to his subject, and pictured the
wonders Of our neighboring land in skillful
and effective style, speaking without notes.
Mexico was most remarkable for it's pro-
ductive silver mines. 1t contains yet untold
wealth for more enterprising miners.
At the time of its subjugation by Cortez,
the Mexican nation had population of
100000 people. This was 800 years ago.
Its people were civilized to degree, intel
ligent and cultivated, versed in law, arts
and sciences. 1t had a press, and what
many consider Of modern origin, reporters:
men who not only interviewed Cortez on
his arrival. and in words described what he
did, but with pencil accurately illustrated
by drawings his feet and implements Of
warfare.
Cortez found the Mexicans worshiping
hideous images of their own manufacture,
and sacrificing human lives by the thou
sand on teocalli pyramids. He gave them
new religion-his own-and in that coun-
try the Roman Catholic Church has abided
longer and more securely than IN any other
part of the globe. 1t was to strengthen
that religion that Maxamilau's expedition
was conceived by the Pope, the stronghold
of the Church having been somewhat loos-
ened as a result of our war with Mexico
after the annexation Of Texas.
In the mission of Cortez and our own
war, when in each case Mexico was easily
overcome, the speaker saw Divine Prov.
idence. A better civilization was the result,
and better things are to come. The Protest.
ant religion is steadily but surely gaining
feothold in that wonderful land. All can
now be accomplished without bloodshed.
Better rulers, and better laws, with pro-
lection for life and property are needed, and
these things will come in good time.
The Mexican Of to-day has many vices, is
lazy and Incorporate, but withal honest.
He can be utilized and improved, and that
is our work.
Bishop Haven is terse and attractive
speaker, colors his subject with simple
word paintings, and relieves it occasionally
with happy anecdotes.
