Grant still Trying 10 Get Up n
War in the south.

President Grants message to the Sen
ate is a remarkable document. He asks
that body to unseat the present Demo-
cratic Governor of Arkansas, elected after
a Constitutional Convention was held and
q Constitution adopted by $4,000 ma
jority, and put into his place, Rev. Joseph
Brooks. Brooks was elected in 1872 as
a Greeley candidate, but was not
allowed to take his seat by the Radicals,
Grant sustaining Baxter the Grant can
didate. Last year Brooks got up a war
In Arkansas to get possession of the gov
eminent and asked Grant to aid him
with the military. The President let the
war go on a month or two, and then,
when he WAS forced to take sides, he took
Baxter's part and put down Brooks with
the strong arm OF the military. Grant
now threatens, if Congress fails TO settle
this matter, to settle it himself, by over
turning Governor Garland, and putting
Brooks in his place Grant is determin.
ed to be reelected President, and the on
" way to succeed is to create anarchy
and war III the South, and revive the wa
feeling at the North Grant has proved
as we predicted, rs mean and unscrupu
lous, but not as bold, as Ben Butler.

Friday Morning, Feb. I2th, 1873.
SfnrP Honor.

When the Tennessee soldiers, having
been overpowered in the late war, re-
turned to their homes, ragged and penni-
less, they proudly held up their heads,
and boasted that the honor Of the noble
Volunteer State had been preserved,
though all else had succumbed to the crush
ing power of merciiess war Now, we
ask, are the people of Tennessee going to
sit gently by and allow a few fedgling
demagogues, who were thrown into our
legislative halls by the political cyclone
oflast fall, to violate her pighted faith
for the sake of few dollars, and thereby
stain her honor for the establishment and
preservation of which the blood of as
brave men as ever drew blade had been
freely poured out? We trow not. We
call upon the good and true men in the
Legislature-men who respect public as
well as private obligations-to step to tie
front and rebuke those who are endeavor-
ing to secure the passage ofmeasures that
will disgrace our State in the eyes of the
civilized world, and ruin the credit of her
citizens in all the marts of the country.
In the language of our Governor, Ten
nessee cannot afford to be dishonored.'
The herald and mail. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1873-188?, 1875-02-12

the rate of taxation very low, perhaps
not more than twenty or twenty-five cents
on the hundred dollars. We are in favor
of retrenchment, and don't want one cent
more tax collected than is absolutely
necessary to meet the obligations of the
State; but we do not believe that the rates
now spoken of will more than half meet
the just demands against the State.
There is no wisdom in reducing the tax
to twenty cents, and then be compelled
to increase it to sixty cents when the next
Legislature meets.
The present Legislature, which talks
nothing but economy from one day s end
to another, has appointed committee OF
ten to investigate the possibility of hav-
ing another Constitutional Convention
which will cost the people a hundred
thousand dollars. No doubt some
changes in our present constitution would
be well made, but the necessity is not ur-
gent enough to require it just now. Ii
we undertake to modify our State Con
stitution every FIVE years, it will cost the
country an immense amount of money.
For our part, we feel rather inclined to
endure the evils we have than fly to those
we know not of.
Under the existing laws of this State,
the Comptroller by and with the advice
and consent of the Governor, Secretary
of State. and Treasurer, may borrow up
on the faith and credit of the State such
an amount as may be necessary to meet
demands upon the Treasury of the State,
upon such terms and conditions as may
be agreed upon. A Senate bill has pass
ed its third reading repeating the act that
bestows this power. The vote is equiva-
lent to an expression of distrust in these
high officials If our Legislature is not
careful, they will soon put the credit of
the State at such low ebb, that it will
not require legislation to prevent the
State from borrowing money.
DIR. A. T. Boyd, our energetic State
Senator, has introduced a bill to protect
the people from empiricism. DIR. Boyd has
long since quit the practice of medicine,
but he was one of our most eminent prac.
titioners, and this fact enables him to
know the great damage done to the health
and life of the people by quack.. doctors.

SENATOR THURMAN, in his recent speech,
very completely siIenced the Radicals by
pointing to the fact that all the reported
oUtrages, assassinations, aud lawlessness
IN l.ouislaun had been perpetrated while
the Republican party had complete CON
troll Of the governmental machinery.
{ his the Republicans can not deny. If
Republicans are shot down at night in
their tracks, as alleged, it is only an evil
dence that the Republican party with all
conceivable means tor suppression Of such
a wrctched state of affairs, is utterly in
capable Of government and recreant to
the trust imposed upon it. Either this is
the case, or the alleged d.aboiisn does
not exist, The people of this country.

MORTON'S LOGIC.

The process of reasoning whereby that
pink Of consistency and Radicalism, O. p.
Morton, of Indiana, is trying to force Pinch
back into the United States Senate, is typical
of the kind Of logic by which the great party
Of moral ideas is governed
In February, 1873, John Ray applied for
admission as Senator from Louisiana, and
presented his credentials to that effect signed
by Kellogg These credentials were referred
to the Committee on Privileges aud Elec-
tons, who reported through their chair
man, o. Z. Morton, a resolution not to admit
John Ray, but to Enquire and report to the
Senate whether there is any existing govern
ment in Louisiana and how and by whom it
was constituted" This resolution was
adopted, and the same committee subsequent
iy reported that Kellogg had not been elected
Governor of Louisiana, and that although Nc
Emery had received majority according to
the returns, they considered TINT the cleo
ton should be set aside and another one
ordered. Tie report concluded as follows
'.Resolred, That there is no State govern
ment at present existing in the State of
Louisiana.
"ReSolrea, That neither John Ray nor w.
l.. Mcmillan is entitled to a seat in the
Senate, neither having been elected by the
Legislature OF Louisiana"
This report was adopted, and now Mr..
Morton turns round and asks the Senate to
recognize Pinchback as Senator on the |
prima fdcie evidence of Kellogg's certificate,
whilst at the other end of Pennsylvania |
Avenue Grant announces that the admission |
OF Pinchback by the Senate will. be con-
sidered by him as recognition of the Kel-
iogg government. This is about as beautiful
sample of Radical logic as we have ever
seen. II is another illustration of tho "head
win, tail you Lose principle

THE MASS MEETING.

Every preparation is being made to make
the demonstration this evening against
compromise dignifed and enthusiastic ex-
preston of popular opinion. st. Patrick's
Hall has been engaged as tho place for the
meeting, and those who cannot be accommo-
dated therein, can organize outside or in the
square.
Many of our first orators and most eminent
lawyers will address the meeting, and such
an expression will be given as will, we trust,
save the people from the treacherous snare
which has been set for them by their
enemies. Grant, Williams, Kellogg, Nor
ton, ConkEng, and all such bitter
enemies Of our State, approve and indorse
this compromise, and that should be its
condemnation with all men who love the
State.

A WORD OF WARNING.

"Whosoever heareth the sound of thu
trumpet and talketh not warning: if thu
sword come and take him away, his blood
shall be upon his own head"
There are, among the many thousands who
read the BULLETIN, some who may think tina
we have already done our full duty in pre-
senting objections to the legislative compro
mise. They may be assured that our per-
sistence in attempts to dissuade our friends
from taking such step toward ruin, comes
from us no love of the task.
Reiteration of facts and arguments may DE
nc more agreeable to our readers than they
are to ourselves; but the proposed surrender
(for it is nothing less) is in our eyes some
thing SO abominable that we cannot be silent
| SO long as there is any chance whatever that
an earnest word will do good
We can not trade with rogues and get our
due. 1t is unsafe to take what our foes are
willing to give. No good soldier attacks his
enemy at the time and in the place of his
own choosing Anything which the Radical
usurpers will accept must certainly be wrong
for Us to offer. They are at work, as in the
past, wholly for themselves and their mas
tiers. They expect to win, or they would not
have anything to do with our members.
The Wheeler proposal is cheat, fraud a
swindle. If majority of our caucus are
gulled by it, their protests, in or out of the ST.
Louis Jail, before or after their blunder, will
not save them from the censure of their con-
stituen.s. If the compromise is accomplished
on the terms insultinglv dictated by Grant.
no real good can possibly come from it. The
the dupes OF Hoar & Co., need
expect no praise from their neighbors and
former friends for any scraps of benefit that
may seem to accrue to the State
