Crusoe's island is to day little para
disc. Lord planted there on one OF his
voyages, apples, peaches, grapes, plums,
strawberries, and several kinds OF vegc-
tables. The number OF the latter were
increased by Scotchman, David Doug

He was not little astonished to find
u hermit there who had been on the is
land five years. On the second day be

1870 had a style of marching peculiarly
its own. Regiments under the Empire
went by with swinging, easy gate,
which as it was the French mode
was considered very good Whether
good or bad, it has been thought neces
sary since the war to endeayor to change
the old style OF marching and to drill
the men into step modelled as nearly
as possible on that in use in the German
army. But what can be taught to
German peasant does not seem to be as
easy to teach French enc. The former
learns to swing his right hand exactly
in time with forty comrades; the latter
finds this a very difficult matter to &C.
complish, In word, the stiff style OF
drill which is in use in Germany and
England is not adapted to the French
soldier, and its attempted adoption is
failure. So much being said it must
fairly be allowed that all the French in
fantry regiments on the ground did very
well indeed. They were very far from
moving with that mechanical regularity
which is characteristic OF German troops,
but they, nevertheless, marched as /,
for one, have never seen French troops
march before; which tells every one
who is in the least in the habit of OBJ
serving such matters what men are
made of, and this something this nescio
guild in their bearing yesterday, the
French possessed.

pope1Ne THE RACE ISSUE.

There is a good deal of talk going on
through the papers in regard to the de-
sire to raise the race issue" in the po-
litical contests just before US. No one
deprecates the definite race issue !"
more than ourselves. But we respect
fully submit the white people and the
Democracy are not responsible for it.
The negroes themselves and their mean
spirited white allies have brought the
question forward and forced it, as an
issue, into the politics of the country.
This being so, the white people, we mean
the decent aRd honest white people, are
compelled to meet it as an issue, or sur
render their most cherished convictions.
That the race issue will enter
largely into the elections this fall in all
the Southern States, whatever we may
do or say, unless we surrender to the de-
mands of social and negro equality and
civilism, as embraced in the civil rights
bill, is, we think, too patent to be dispu-
ted. Indeed, the negroes everywhere
demand acquiescence in and support Of
social equality, as q condition of secur-
ing their votes. aad there are white men
almost everywhere mean enough, soul
less enough and goddess enough to &C.
cede to and advocate their demands in
this respect in order to get their votes
Galldtin 7ennesseeGH.
In Indiana the platform of the Demo
cratic party makes the issue squarely
against civil rights, and the Democracy
Of that State are fighting it out on the
color line. We say, therefore, it is all
the merest stuff to try to avoid looking
at this matter and discussing it 1t j. q
direct question now before the American
people.

or reserved seats being held for or given
to the members of any one wing of anti
Radicals. 1t is nothing more than the
Bartlett movement, made to extend to
the limits of the State, and Shelby county
claims the honor of inaugurating the
great liberal movement in Tennessee.
The LEDGER has advocated this broad
basis of settlement, so as to unite the
people and destroy Radicalism, but the
LEDGER claims no especial credit for
supporting a movement which sprang
from the people like Minerva from the
brain of Jove The LEDGER did its
duty in favoring the success Of the Bart
lett ticket, and no more. The Conven-
ton yesterday on the fourteenth
ballot showed the following re-
suit: Necessary to a choice, 632.
Baily, 1853; Porter, $50; all the other
candidates having been withdrawn by
their friends. Mr.. Baily having been
withdrawn, James d. Porter, of Henry
county, West Tennessee, was nominated
by reclamation. The defeated nominees
were, Fite, of Smith county, Morgan,
Kerr, Wright and Ensley, Of Shelby,
Netherland, of Hawkins, Thomas, of
Hum phreys, Barnes, of Davidson and
Marks, of Franklin. Of the Memphis
candidates Judge Morgan run up to ia
votes on the thirteenth ballot, and was
withdrawn. Gen. Wright ran up to %
votes on the fifth ballot and was with
drawn. Ensley ran up to 1863 votes on
the 4th ballot and was withdrawn. Col.
Kerr got q votes on the first bal
lot, AZ on the second and a on the
third, when he was also withdrawn. In
the contest our city candidates were
unfortunate. Judge Porter is West
Tennesseean, from the border, for whom
the delegates from eleven West Tennes-
see counties we're instructed to vote.
Judge Porter is gentleman of COM
handing appearance, education and of

Some Of the negro Representatives in
the South Carolina Legislature manifest
singular conscientiousness about the
sale OF votes. Thus we are told of
negro preacher, member of that body,
who would never take more than ten dol
lars Cor his vote. 1t was perfectly right,
he thought, to sell his vote; but it was all
wrong to ask too high a price forit The
morality of his procedure he summed up
by saying: Dis ting of gettin one
hundred dollars for vote is all wrong;
ten dollars is as much as it is WORT"

YREZDnAH's BANK COMPLICATIONS

This institution. It appears, has a new
t5ouble. Under the heading as given
above The New York Tribune's Washing.
ton agent last Wednesday telegraphed
that the commissioners Of the Freed
mans Bank are not having as smooth a
time ~ they anticipated. Not many
days ego they directed the subagencies
in the State 70 transmit, what funds they
had on hand to the parent bank here,
with a view TO accumulate the assets and
declare a pro rata dividend. The re-
sponses come in slowly. In many in
stances the commissioners have been
informed that the depositors in the cities
where the sub agencies are located are
unwilling that the funds should be sent
to Washington. This new trouble only
adds to the complications Of the sus-
pended bank, and may delay, not only
dividends, but an actual knowledge Of
the condition Of the institution for many
weeks TO come.
