CoLORED men can hardly do other
wise than vote for Republicans who
have a chance of being elected, for the
county Offices. The Democrats of
Memphis and Nashville have made the
race issue squarely for the first time in
the history of the State. The UNION
AND AMERICAN in announcing ap-
pointments foT Democratic speakers,
heads its article "The White Mans
Ticket. "-ChattanoOga Commercial.
Certain it is that negroes who de-
mand social levelism will not promote
their infamous cause 10y electing Demo-
Gratis. We do not try to carry water
on both shoulders Ike some independ-
ent and Republican journals and white
leaders. When a Civil Rights bill is
pending, that threatens another social
revolution in the South. it is no time
for achite men to palter in a double
sense. The only sure way we know
to defeat the sum of villainies is that
thePople speak in thunder tones to the
next Congress. Such sensible negroes
as listened to Brownlow and do not run
after Civil Rights" viii find their
best protection. Hks other citizens, In
Democratic principles and practices.
As to the unknown correspondent Of
the Chattanooga Times who takes the
UNION AND AMERICAN to task, in
forming us that the Democratic party
Is not the white mans party" we
need only say that, if this be so, then
the white man has no place to 60, for
certainly the Radical party is not the
white mans party in this latitude.
In this whole matter the race issue
has been forced on US all, IN the most
offensive manner. We cannot evade it
by merely ignoring it. The negroes
are massed against US, and it would be
folly to blind our eyes to the fact. We
have used the term White Mans
Ticket solely in the Davidson coun.
ty contest, because such is the nature
of that contest. 1t may be likewise
forced on us in the State canvass,
though we hope not, and believe the
surest way to realize that hope is to
meet it and kill it next Thursday. Yet
all must see that it may be a national
issue, for it is the last shot in the
Radical locker. the last trump
of fanatical hate to persecnte the be-
deviled South. 1t may prove easier to
defeat in 1874 than in 1876. Hitherto
such ''mawral" ideas have grown and
strengthened with time to elimination,
while we remained incredulous. Bet
ter strangle them in their infancy.

THE return to antique styles in iewelIy

come a regular branch Of European in

discarded. Egyptian, EtrUscan and Greek

bears the hieroglyphicS of the Pharaohs.

the triumphal professions Of Caesar. Ear
rings are patterned after old lines of beauty
in which Cleopatra and Zenobia delighted.
