Andrew johnson and RePudi-
alton.

Ex-President ANDREW JOHNSON was
recently interviewed by newspaper re-
porters, in Nashville, and the opinions he
gave expression to on several importan
questions have created a considerable
sensation in financial and political cir
cles. He denounced the funding bill
passed by the last Legislature of Tennes-
see as Infamous" obnoxious, "oppres s.
ive;' and said that the present State tax
of forty cents is more than the people can
bear He is very willing for the State
credit to become worthless, but becomes
indignant when asked if he is willing for
the national credit to become likewise.
The inference is plain-Mr. Johnson
cares not a fig for the prosperity and
honor of the State which has honored him
the past and is willing to bring fRan-
cial disgrace and dishonor upon her, in
order to wreak his vengeance upon few
personal enemies. Two years ago he
claimed to be a Democrat so pure and
good that he could scarcely get his own
consent to vote for GREELEY, and yet at
the same time ran against the regular
Democratic nominee for Congress for the
State at Large when he knew that his
candidacy could only result in electing
the Radical candidate. His opposition
to the funding bill is mere subterfuge-
his real object is to disorganize and de-
feat the Democratic party, and revenge
himself on the white people of Tennessee
by letting the Radicals again get posses
sion of the State. His present attitude
is that of bitterly disappointed man {,
thwarted in all of his schemes by the will
of the people, and willing to avenge him
self on them in any way for it. We can
not think that the people will believe
his shallow pretense of being against the
present rate of taxation because of sym
pathy with them. If he had been friend
of the people he would never have brought
about the election of MAYNARD; and if he
were their friend now he would not be
trying in every way to disorganize and
disunite the democratic party.

measures of the hour and died with the
hour. But our form and theory of gcv-
eminent have not been changed, and we
are in favor of their Interpretation and
their administration on Democratic prin-
ciples.
The negro has been incorporated into
the body polite, and mobocracy thus
heavily REINFORCED. We now have
in the United States large body of vo.
tiers having the true characteristics of a
true proletariat. This mob has been
taken charge of by certain leaders, who
are embodying it into an organization for
their own personal aggrandHement
Some of the marked features of its
workings are: The levy of enormous
contributions from property-holders in
the form of taxation, or black mail paid
to avoid some special vexation; the use OF
this money to bribe legislators and cor
rupt the judiciary; strong assertion of the
powers of the government, and especially
the executive branch of it; an ostentatious
disregard of constitutional restrictions,
and an ignoring of all forms; and an eager
ness for the solution of all questions OF
right by the naked vote of majorities.
Shall the mob trample over the ruin of
representative Republicanism in Ameri-
ca? Jeffersonian Democracy is the only
rallying cry against it. A return to a
Democratic administration of the govern
ment is the only hope of the country

Our Nominees.

The Carriers Of the Locked Boxes met
in Columbia last Monday, after q
thorough canvass and the following named
gentlemen were declared elected: Sims
Latta, Sheriff; w. J. Whitthorne, Circuit
Court Clerk; A n Akin, County Court
Clerk; Capt. A. A. Epscomb, Tax Collec,
tor; J. c. Moore, Trustee; John Carr
Register. These gentlemen are the Dem.
Ocratic nominees for the respective office
at the August election. Except in the
case of Akin and Whitthorne, the majori.
ties were large, and everybody seems to
think the election was about as fair as
any thing the kind can be- The de-
feated candidates will, of course, support
the nominees, and also those who voted
for them. About four thousand votes
we're polled, which is quite full Demo
cratic vote The Independent candidates
are clever gentlemen, and Cur friends
and we do not intend to say one word
against them, although we think they are
mistaken in the course they are pursuing.
The fact that nearly all, if not quite all
of the Democratic voters in the county,
took part in the primary election, is evi.
dence that they endorse it, and will sup
port it.

President GRANT veto message, which
promises to be the most famous document
he ever wrote, is printed on our first page.
A majority of the Republican leaders are
in favor ofirfation, and the President We
to of the Senate initiation bill, has split the
party in twain, and all other issues are
lost sight of The Democratic leaders do
not seem to be united upon the question
either. A large majority of the imitation
lists are from the West and South, and
the contractionists are confined to New
England and the other older States.
GRANT is mathematical by LOGAN, and
other prominent Republicans, while at
the time he is receiving plaudits from
SCHURz and other former bitter oppo-
nents. If the matter ends in the complete
overthrow of the Radical party it will be
a great blessing tothe country

The Ry01 Sun has pungent article
on the incfliciency of our present
State laws. The law requires that fences
shall be kept up TO the height of four feet
and in the event stock break over, tho
owner of the stock shall be responsible
for damages, If the owner of the crop in
jures the trespassing animals, he is re
sponsible for the damage, and may be
sued in any court having competent ju-
risdictiou. Of all laws in our code, there
r. no ore which displays such ignorance
ard Incompetence, not to say imbecility,
as this The Rvral Sun suggests as a
remedy for this evil the creating of a
pound in every civil district, where farm
ers can impound all trespassing stock, the
owner thereof to pay for the cost of i'm
pounding and feeding before they can re-
cover them. y gentleman Of this place,
syho has travelled in almost every civilized
country of the world, aad took intelligent
observation oftke mode Of living, etc, of
the people, thinks Maury county should
adopt the plan in use in England, viii oh
is to discard the use of fences to great
extent. He says, and very truly, that
large portion Of the best lands in the
county iie along Duck River and the va
rious creeks, aad scarcely n spring pass e.
without the fences around these lands be
ing swept away by rreShet Timber for
fences Is growing scarcer every year, and
some remedy has become absolutely es-
sential to the prosperity of the county
His remedy is to pass law requiring al
stock to be kept up at home by the owner
and thus permit the farmer to do without
a fence along the creek. Thousands of
dollars are expended annually TO build
fences to keep out a few poor hogs and
COWS. He Is far from wishing to do any
thing that would discriminate against the
Door man in favor Of the rich; but the
present system discriminates unjustly
against the land owner, without proving
of any real value to the landless man.
Of course this plan would only do in a
densely populated county like Maury,
and would not do for Lawrence, Wayne
and other thinly settled counties. his
fence question is getting to be one ofTar-
amount importance 10 farmers.

practice what he breaches, for he kept

their presence upon the white people.
All those flaming speeches made in the
convention were spoken by few conten-
tious fellows who think they can get into
Office, and acquire fame, by arraying the
negroes against the whites. The colored
people should repudiate the action of the
convention, for it amounts to an open
defiance of the white people.
