Should that calamity occur, and it Is not
improbable in the course Of few years,
there will be a terrible responsibility

Andrew Iohnson,a suceessor.

In exercise of the power conferred
upon him by the constitution, Governor
Porter has appointed Hon. David Nc
Kendrer Key. of Hamilton county, to Gil
the vacancy in the United States Senate
cccasioned by the death of the late Hon.
Aanprew Johnson. Judge Key was
raised in East Tennessee and now re-
sides at Chattanooga He was a Demo>
cratic Congressional eleotor prior to the
war, was a member of the Constitu tiona |
Convention IN 1870, aud was Democratic
nominee for Congress in 1872, he is a
lawyer of decided ability, was at the last
election made Chancellor by the people
of his district, and is now appointed to
the distinguished position Of Sena tor in
the United States Congress. There is,
Of course, some disappointment by the
friends OF the many prominene men
whose names were suggested for the po-
sition We had hoped that the claims
of West Tennessee would haYe in
fuenced the appointment, but we feel
satisfied that the Governor has conscien-
tiously las he always WHY endeavored
in this matter to subserve the great inr
terests of the State in the appointment
The appointment only lasts until the
next Legislature.

o. 7FHERE are few Northerners yet who
do not want pence. The bloody shirt is
still necessary to the full dress of some
, of the IL uly loyal
Hon. Jefferson Davis has been invited
by the directors of the Winnebago
county, Ills, agricultural society to de-
liver the annual address at the county
fair. Whereupon excitement COM
menced brewing, the grand army of the
Republic held an Indignation meeting,
and passed red hot resolutions, declaring
as loyal citizens they would have moth
! ing to do with the fair. Mr.. Davis was
not to make political, but an agricultr
.ural speech; and no doubt the directors
intended the invitation as an evidence OF
returning coed will, which Mr. Davis
accer ted in the same spirit. But the
good haters have gotten up excitement
to a red heat, and denounce the whole
thing The same feeling Of course must
extend to Southerners generally. or at
least to all those who were in the
T, Southern army.
Does this look like these men are
willing to forget the past? We can tell
these fanatics that in spite of their rag
ing, there is a wide spread reconciliation
taking place between the people of the
North and the South that to gospel #
hate is being discarded that reason Is
once more resumiug its sway, and that
goodwill is taking possession of the
hearts of men who have realized the In
sane folly Of having acted so long upon
the practices and prejudioes engendered
by the PAST, instead of from fraternal
feelings, and a common bope and patri~
otic desire for the good and glory of our
common country.

Election.

In the course Of time, We shall prOba~
bly, find out exactly what has happened
in Mouth Carolina. At present, the re-
ports arc contradictory and the re-
suit on the convention i'll uncertain.
Evidently it is very close thing, so far
cerned. Ir is plain enough that a good
many Democrats have voted against
changing the Constitution, at present
probably because they prefer TO bear tie
ills they have a while 10 ger rl'her than
tc take the risk of aggravating them

The North Carolina papers claim that
the count les. are all heard from and
there is a email majority of Democrats
elected to the convention.

The radical congressional convention
which assembled at Holly Springs, had a
high old time tho two factions into
which it split squabbliug most discredie>
ably for possession of the authoritative
position of the regularly accredited 81"
mon pures. A good deal more cuss
words were energetically enunciated
than words Of soberness and truth; dis
order reigned supreme, and the conse>
uuenee was two sets Of delegates, and an
irreconcilable split in the party. They

Tho colored men in indianapolis in
convention assembled, are ezee edingly
exercised because Of a provision in the
law Of Indiana making it a penitentia.
~ oFense fer negro man to marry a
white woman and vice versa. They con
tend that the laws of the State are in
conflict with the famous Radical 18th
Amendment to the constitution of the
United States, which, in the big~hsarted
policy of the wise ones who had it en-
acted, was intended to cover the whole
world "and the rest of mankind Il is
as follows:
All persons born OF naturalized in the
Us. and subject 10 the jurisdiction there
oiare citizens Of the United States, and
OF the State IN which they reside. No
st te shaft m tSe or aenfores any laws
which stEsiE asIidgs the privileges or In
munities Of citizens Of the United Sjases. :.
The colored people contend that the
laws Of the State above referred to are
violatiye of their privileges AID immu-
mites as citizens of the United States
aud pledge themselves to fght what
they call this class legislation # the
State in whatever way it may come.

They deno1nce these State laws as a
disgrace to the people They pledge
themselves to raise money to defend the
violators Of these laws which forbid
miseegenat:en of the two ra ces, and that
they will stand undaunted, and defend
to the bitter end those who are prose-
cuted under them. They further de-
nounce the arrests Of the parties who
had violated the State law as illegal and
malieiously made! We notice the &C
ton of the colored people in this north>
ern State for two reasons. First, to
show how the I4th amend uent is invoked
to cover aud protect m s ssgenation, by
overthrowing the law of Indiana by
higher authority, the l4th amendment
which tits claimed lepislates away the
social rights of the white people of that
Statei or what is the SAM, destroys the
legal protection thrown around those
rights by the STATE. The social rights of
a people are not TO be invaded by -conA
stitutions or laws, and it IS ridiculous to
contend that the l4Eh amendment justi-
fies any such Construction as is sought
to be givensit Itfitst declares who are
citizens of the Uaitel States and the
States wherein they reslde It then
declares that no State shall make or
enforce any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities Of citizens of
the United States. Meaning the civil
rights, which are the suhject of legisla>
ton, and not those social privileges
which are not. 1t is the privilege AMI
right belonging to the c9lored man to be
fully protected in all the civil rights be-
longing to citizen, which are freely
accorded to him, bat no social privilege
Is sought to be conferred by this amend
meRt; nor was it the intention of those
who ratified this amendm Mt to open up
the way for the invasion by or through
the authority Of the Federal government
Of the social, or even the domestic rela~
tion5, for in this last matter it would
place under the control of that governs
ment the regulation of the relation of
husband and wife, father and child,
guardian an ward, etc.
In the second place, we notice the
action Of the colored people il the State
Of Indiana, to show the colored people Of
the State that the white people of the
North put the same construction upon
the 18th amendment that SHIELD in the
South And that social and civil rights
are two very different things And that
laws made in the pursuance of the cons
stitution might seek to control the civil
rights of citizens of the United States,
bat the social rights-never. That the
sooner this is understood the better for
all concerned. That the highest of all
law has fixed broad and deep disEinc>
ton between the different races of people
upon the earth und the difference in
castle has fixed Impossible barriers, over
which The social world, lin ali which if
believes concerns its rights aad priYile>
gesl mill permit none to pass. There are
rights social, and there are rights civil,

WE. attended a thanksgiving and
grange meeting on Saturday last at Mount
Aoriah church on the eastern edge Of
Fayette county, and four miles west Of
the town of Whiteyille We have been
at several gatherings of the farmers DUR
ing the summer, but none thatsurpassed
the meeting at Meunt Moriah. When
we arrived the church baiIding was filed
almost exclusively with ladies listening
to the thanksgiving sermon, by Rev.
Mr. Boucher, and there were hundreds
who could not get Inside the church.
The crowd was estimated between six
and seven huudred people, met together
to return thanks to a benefoient Creator
for propitious seasons aud plentiful crops
The country around Mount MorIah both
in Fayette and Hardeman counties, is a
file gricultuFaI region, il which the Wis =
itor, or the seeker for home will find a
moral, industrious, and cultivated people.
North, south, east, and west the lands
are level and rich, and must, under the
management and improved tillage of an
intelligent and progressive people be-
come one of the most productive and
prosperous PORTIONS of West Tennessee.
We predict that at no distant day, under
what We can plainly perceive, is about to
influence immigration to large degree
towards our favored latitude, that the
fine agricultural lands of Hardeman,
Fayette, and Madison counties will he
sought for by shose seeking new and
better homes. Not the least among the
attractions to this class, ard to all who
are settling for life, is pleasant surround
irgs and facilities for educating thei I
children. Such men will never even ex>
anime the rich lands of the extreme
South, but will find among us all they
desire, besides country free from the
rigors Of that intense cold which is now
driving them to look for a home in q
more genial CLINE We are Of those who
believe that there is a bright future yet
i store for the dwellers in our favored
altitude
We met at Mount Moriah many of our
old friends, as our days from yoath to
manhood was spent in the county Of
Fayette.
After the sermon in the forenoon, a
plentiful repast for even so large o2e4
of people, prepared by the masrons and
fair daughters of the vicinags, was
spread under the shade of the trees,
which all seemed to enjoy.
According to the arrangement of
Mount MOriah Grange, it was then an
nounced that there would be public
speaking by members of the order As
the crowd was too large to get into the
church building, it was decided that tho
speaking should take place in the grove.
The editor of the Bolivar BULLETIN was
called out, then Mr.. Lyle, OF Haywood
COUNTY, who was followed successfully
i by Col Hardin, Mr. Caruthers, Rev. w.
NJ. Norment, end Col P. C. Wilkes
The. meeting closed, and after a most
pleasant day, we wendell our way
towards our homes, hoping another re :
union 10 this pleasant neighborhood
was not far distant IN the future.

The Irruption of Chinese Cheap La

Some interesting statistics are given
by cur San Francisco exchanges, shows

years, 1t appears that the immigration
is largely in excess of that from the

Ga the sui ject the Chattanooga Times
says in response to charges Ct the Knox
vile Chronicle:
If our recollection is not greatly at

the canvass was going on, nor during the
session Of the legislature The policy of

Of it's opponent Il was wrong to adopt
such a course, wrong 10 morals and
wrong in policy If the leaders of the
republican party had made a firm and
manly stand for the preservation of the
credit of the State, it might have been
possible to avert the evils under which
we now suffer The preservation Of thu
