~ What is the difference in
the value of q white man and a
black man? The time was when
our brethren in England held
that there is no difference, but it
appears that in settling with
Spain in the Virginius affair,
Great Britain received about 98,-
900 as indemnity for the nineteen
subjects of that kingdom who
were massacred at Santiago de
Cuba, ten Of whom were white
and nine colored men. Two hun.
dred pounds less per head were
obtained for the colored than for
the white men, and this fact is one
that seriously interleres with the
claim of the United States, where
in no distinction Oh account OF
color will be tolerated. So the
tables are turned now, and
Americans hold that all colors are
equally good; but England takes a
thousand dollars less for a black
man than a white. Well, the
W Grid turns around once day.

Gov. Browns Message.

Opening with brief reference
to the vast improvement of our
political condition during the past
five years of self-government and
Democratic rule-an improve
ment in which every citizen of
Tennessee, without regard to
politics or race, has reason to re-
joice-the message proceeds with
a full expose of the present situa-
ton of our domestic affairs.
The complicated questions of f.
nance and taxation are dealt with
in an open and straightforward
manner that leaves nothing TO be
wished. The operations of the
funding law are detailed in full,
specifying what bonds have been
funded Or registered, and what
bonds have been rejected rs ille-
gal or held in suspense as doubt
full. The imperfections of the
present assessment law are frank.
ly recognized, and valuable hints
offered as to the objects that
should be sought in the way
of amending it. The financial
difficulties under which the State
labors are ventilated at length.
and modes of relief suggested:
first, retrenchment in expenses;
and secondly, new sources of rev.
enue, among which are mentioned
corporations, railroads and the
taxing of suits before magistrates.
In the latter connection, the
cheapening of the administration
of justice and the more prompt
meteing out of justice to offenders,
is urged, and plans offered for the
furtherance of these purposes.
The attention of the Legislature
is invoked to the questions of
quieting land titles and of dis
ordinations in railroad tariffs
two matters of vital Importance
10 the prosperity of Tennessee.
Our Federal relations, the tax,
and the debts of railroads to the
Federal Government, assumed af-
ter the war, are also alluded to.
Not to particularize further, every
interest of the State is dealt with
in a manner at once clear and
mplete.- Union and american.

1t is u greater matter OF curiosity than
ever as to the source from which Tilton
derives the funds to prosecute the trial.
He has apparently but few friends OF
wealth, and all the income he has is
known to be derived from "Tempest
Tossed" whose sales average from 100 to
200 copies a week, While the trial is pro
crossing. Still he has no lack of funds
with which to employ agents to hunt up
rebuttal testimony. One has been in
Virginia several days, endeayorlng to
procure the necessary data for impeach-
ing the testimony of the first negro wit
ness for Mr.. Beecher. 1t is now gener-
ally supposed that Mr.. Moulton is "put-
ting up" from the 100000 with which he
retired from the firm OF Woodruff & Rob
inson. He has become SO involved in
the momentous results Of the trial (the
veracity OF himself and wife being, among
other things, at stake), that, lie feels that
it would be better to eXpend'every dol.
lar he has, rather than lose any tes-
or advantage which can be OBJ
tanned by employing the necessary
agents. Such is the common belief.

Judge Lindeman this mbrniag was
sworn in by the late Police Court'Judge
Marchant, and took mis- seat to dispense
justice to the criminals that are daily
bron,ht before this Court.
We have seen how the Judge-elect dis
posed OF the cases on a day some time
ago, when Judge Marchant was required
to be absent himself. He promises by
his actions to continue to dispose OF the
cases that come up under MS iurisdic-
zion in equity and at the same time in
leniency. Fairness in allowing every
prisoner to make his statements is one
OF the excellent features of his work.
His kindly bearing and genial coun-
tenance inspires tue prisoner with a
knowledge that he stands before hu.
name judge, and while the innocent are
certain of dismissal the guilty are as
sure to meet with punishment. The
Judge is sharp crlIc, and observer o.
faces.
No one who has occasion to come be
fore His Honor, will be forgotten by him

The report of oInebriate Asylums or
Hospitals" )" by the chairman OF the Mas
sachusetts Board of Health, Henry l.
Bowdltch, M. D., contains the following
argument in favor of depriving drunk
| ards OF their civil rights: Drunkards,
| if they be inveterate in their habits,
should be deprived OF all civil rights, in
the same manner that the idiot, the in
sane, the high criminal, are deprived of
their rights. L think that the law should
allow any one to complain of the habit
ual drunkard, and on sufficient proof
being given Of the truth of the allegation
before the proper court, said court
should decree civil rights to be held in
allegiance until radical cure be affect
ed. The best interests OF the State, e,seem
10 me, even in principal, not only to al
low of this procedure, but abs solutely re-
quire it as means of self-defense, ii the
republic continues Ill state OF purity.
believe the period will arrive when, TO
| be drunk, even in private, will be
deemed a mlsdemeanor, and to appear
justly be. considered one of the greatest
OF crimes against the good order of the
State. Amy one public exhibition of
this condition OF mind will then be con-
siuered satisfactory evidence (unless
valid proOfbe procured to the contrary
of haDitual drunkenness, and such as
will render the offender amenable to
the highest penalties which the State
can intiict. For instance for one otfense
in public l think that such q person
should not be allowed to vote or exer-
else his civil rights for at least six
months, and for a longer time on repe-
tition OF the offense. This punishment
may seem absurd to some and be op-
posed by others as wholly unjust for The
amount OF injury done to the State.
Some earnest defenders of The rights OF
man will say that the error of once be-
ing intoxicated in public would not de-
serve SO serious a deprivation as that OF
the right to act generally as man in
civil lie. There may also be others who,
from the way in which they use their
own rights will think that the depriva-
tiOn of civil rights from drunkard will
nave but little force toward this cure.
A man who will lie in the gutter drunk
is regardless OF shame, and what cares
he iOr civil rightsf l admit this argu-
ment as OF some weight as to the etti-
cheney OF the punishment, but deny the
plea Of its injustice.

THE THEATRICAL QUESTION.

items. The main one is that the engaging
Of first-class actors and actresses is nothing
more than an experiment, for the simple
reason that they DO not attract in Will
mington as we'll as many other lesser lights
that have appeared upon our boards. II
this is the case, and we have no reason for
doubling it, then the blame rests with the
people and not with the management. II
the people show no appreciation for what
is really meritorious, then the engagement

more than an experiment that ii continued

80 y,.ers in snail ward comes mainly
from the fact that German Lutheran
congregation in that precinct assembled ct
the church on election morning, and,
marching in quiet procession to the polls,
cast $50 votes for honest money and I'M
sectarian schools.-[N. Y. Times, Oct H.
This is no very pleasant sign Of the
time. Only think o: the members Of Grace
Church, 81. Andrews or St. Peters, assem-
bling upon election day and marching to
the polls. What on earth a financial
question has to do with church orsaniza-
ton, we are unable to concede.
The action Of these German Lu,herans
deserves reproof and condemnation instead
CT the implied praise of the New York
Times. It is noticeable fact, that when
ever the pulpit or the church become the
advocate, or ally Of the Republican party
it is all right, but if any denomination
even impliedly do aught against it, the
howl of church and State is raised. The
maxim, which teaches to render unto Caesar
the things which are Cesers. and things
'',h are Gods unto God, should direct
...,. .n.:,ence the conduct OF every citizen.
Religion and politics must be kept
apar,-abso,u!ely divorced. The influence
OF arr denomination upon the politics OF
the coun;ry.,is baleful, and the party or
individuals, coque,iing with the religious
element, should be watched ard publicly
censurcd.
