MANY colored men of Lauderdale
county voted the straight Democratic
ticket, IN the recent election, and quite
number did the same thing in Law
renee county. The Someryille Falcon
says:
To VIM. Wallace the Democrats
are largely indebted for their success
in this county. He worked ikea Tro-
ian on the colored element, with glori-
Gus results. The negroes are desert
ing the Radical party by platoons.
Some of the most Intelligent and in
auential eolored men in Someryille,
openly voted and worked for the Dem
ocratic ticket. 4 brighter day, a day
of peace aud reconciliation between
the races, is certainly dawning in this
county.

THAT the next Congress should i'm
peach Grant, is the willy suggestion of
Radical leaders. That he should be
impeached and degraded to the level of
his crimes against the Constitution
and laws, we do not question, but why
defer it till the next Congress? With
the hope that the Democratic majority
may attempt it, and afford glorious
opportunity to raise the cry of rebel
lion, strengthen the Army OF the
Republic, rekindle the fires of ianati-
cism with the torch of hatred for the
South, hurl backwards the revolution
now progressing, and rejnstate Radi-
calsm, more firmly than ever, on the
throne of aristocracy. Would the
Senate, with Grants own Chief Justice
presiding. find him guilty? Of course
not. Then why the suggestion of his
impeachment? Simply for the reason
above given. But we have no fears that
the majority will commit any such
blunder 1t will be glory enough to
check usurpation and prevent the
Treasury from being robbed, until an
awakened and enlightened people sup
plythe ways and means for thorough
reform. In the mean time, let the ma
jority settle its own points Of difference
aud harmonic the party upon a basis
of practical wisdom, embracing the
material interests of every class and
section.

SMILER CoLFAx admitted to an in
terviewer, that if it had not been for
Changers, there would have been no
such revolution against Radicalism.
Some of our readers will remember
that when the Grange movement was
first inaugurated, and before it reached
across the Ohio, we advocated as it a
means of breaking down the Radical
party. The reason we assigned for
that belief was, that the members of
the different political parties could not
come together for an honest investiga-
ton of the causes which led to the de-
preston of agriculture, the interests
of labor generally and the fearful de-
moralizatiOn of public morals, without
tracing all of them back to the NAL
administration and corruption of the
party in power. This being the case,
no Radical farmer or mechanic, or day
laborer, if honest, could long resist
the conclusion that Radicalism is the
great enemy of the vital interests OF
the country and of the liberty and
pros perity of the people, collectively
and individually. Surely the admis-
sion of a leading Radical. that such a
glorious result has been brought about
by the Grapgers ought to convince
them of their power and stimulate
them TO perseverance in the good
work.

LETTER FROM CHEATHAH.


EDIToRs CHRONICLE The hattie
of constitutional liberty has been
fought and the victory won, and a
glorious one il is But in the fash Of
victory We should not forget what it
has cost, nor should we fold our arms
in glorious ease and lie down in fancied
security, hoping that the war is over.
for this is not the case. This is only
the skirmish line, the driving in of the
enemy's pickets. the taking of some OF
the weaker outposts, the precursor of
the great battle that is to be fought
two years hence, when the enemy's
strong hold, his hitherto impregnable
fortress must be stormed and taken,
or the effect of the present victory viii
be lost In view of this, let us keep
our camp-fres brightly burning all
along the line. that the stragglers may
all come in, keep our arms brightly
Furnished. our commlssaries, arsenals
and magazines well supplied with all
the necessaries of war; keep our
picket lines well advanced and proper
ly supported, keeping watchful eye
upon all the movements of the enemy,
always remembering that eternal vigi-
lance is the price OF liberty" Above
all let our EMULATION be moderated by
wisdom and discretion. Let Us not
fall out by the way among ourselves,
not attempting to do too much at once.
As our evils and expressions have
come upon us gradually, let's attempt
to remove them in the same way, not
attempting any wholesale measures,
lest in the attempt to do great good
we fall into the opposite extreme and
perpetrate a great evil that will bring
about such another revolution against
us as the present one, (Which if proper
ly manipulated will ultimately hurl
from place aud power those who have
so long feasted and fattened at the
peoples expense,) and we in turn be
shorn and dismantled of the strength
we have recently acquired, thereby
giving the party in power another lease
for plumber.
Then in the name of our common
country and in the name of everything
sacred and holy, let US husband all
our strength. contest and hold every
irch of ground we have gained, keep
| ing our forces marshaleChready at any
moment to strike the effective blow,
when the great Presidential battle of
1876 is to be fought Let action,
united, continuous and concerted ac-
ton. be the watchword continually
passed along the line, and when the
time for final action comes, the hearty
response will come from millions of
! freemen, from the turbulent Atlantic
on the east to the gentle Pacific on the
West, from the frozen lakes of the
North to the sunny Gulf of the South,
all is well-the peopleare again free.
| Then we will know no North, no South,
no East, no West, but united and
happy people once more enjoying the
reunion our fathers gave Us, no longer
held together by bayonet bands, but
held more firmly together by the stall
wart arms of free people, linked
together in one endless iiraternal chain
that the powers OF the earth cannot
sever. Then we will have union Of
hearts as well as of State, one and in
separable. That it may be thus is the

the Radical leaders desired to destroy.
What is known Of Mr. Lincoln in-

not learn the truth, but the pen of the

Calmness Requisite in the Hour Of
Victory.

A very large proportion, perhaps a
majority, of the recruits who came
over to US in the great fight of Tues
day in the different States, are reflect
ing men who have permanently enlist
ed with us, but on the condition that
they are to find all the moderation
they have been induced to expect-men
who have not renowned the Republi-
can party as it was when they Joined
it, but who, alarmed by the usurpations
and disgusted with the wild dogmas of
Radicalism. are anxious to unite with
patriots of any party for the rescue Of
the country and the promotion of the
public good regardless of the past.
Such men may be easily turned away
from US if they are disappointed in
their estimate of the elements of the
opposition to the party in power They
are not necessarily Democrats for all
time because they voted the Democratic
ticket this time They are trying an
experiment. IF we would have them
with us two years from now, when the
great Presidential bittle Is TO be fought,
we mI>tconvince them by our policy
that they have made no mistake in
coming over to conservative ground.
Calmness in the hour of victory is one
of the first requisites of good general
