" THEY SAY. /"

They soy-ah well, suppose they do.
But can they prove the story true?
Suspicions may arise from nought
But malice, envy, want of thought;
Why count yourself among the they"
Who whisper what they dare not say?
They s0y-but why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter worse?
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue:
And is if not Dobler plan
To speak of all the best you can?
They sdy-well, if it should be SO.
Why need you tell the tale of woe?
VIII it the better work redress,
Or make one pang Of sorrow less?
Will it the erring one restore
Henceforth to go and sin no more?"
They sdy-Ohi pause and look within
See how thy heart inclines to sim
Watch, lest in dark temptations hour,
Thou, too, should sink beneath it's power.
Pity the fraIl. weep DER their fall.
But speak Of good. or not at all.

SHALL WE HAVE A MEXICAN WAR?
Washington Correspondence OF the Chicago
The stories of the Texan border out
RACES are said, as-e, to be part of the
plav inaugurated by the Senatorial ex-
cuIsion. 1t is supposed to be part Of
the programme that advocates the an
nexation of the northern provinces Of
Mexico. A little trouble with Mexico,
if nursed up into the shape Of an insig-
nifcant war, would help the party, it
is thought, and make good capital for
the future campaign. This Mexican
business is the general talk of political
circles. The high positions of the men
who Lave gone to Mexico, and the fact
Of their visiting Mexico in an official
vessel, give the visit an unusual impor-
lance. Every morning brings, with
systematic precision, the story of fresh
outrages on the Mexican border.
Good, enterprising agents there can
keep these stories going, until the gov
eminent will be driven, reluctantly,
into ldoing something. Then, under
the pretext of war, it will not be 80
difficult to obtain the desired cOnces-
sions IN northern Mexico.
Vice President Wilson says the Re
publican party has no chance of success
IN 1876, except by a radical change in
its policy, and his opinion, doubtless,
is shared by those in power. They, of
course, differ with him as to what
should be the change of policy. A for
eign war would unite the supporters Of
the administration, and there are
plenty here, among those whose official
position gives them especial means OF
information, who say that the Presi-
dent is unscrupulous enough to use any
means to keep himself and associates
| IN power.

LITTLE RHODY IN a FERMENT.


EEThere is a prospect for a ivelier
campaign III Rhode Island than that
little State has seen for a good many
years. The Republican Convention
was approximately turbulent, and,
notwithstanding the assertions Of the
newspapers that the party Is haTmoni-
Gus now, It Is evident that the storm
has not entirely blown over. The Pro-
hibitionists are bitterly opposed to the
Republican nominee, Col Lippltt, and.
though there is q large probability that
their strength has been Overestmated,
there is undoubtedly enough Of them
to seriously cut down the Republican
vote. Their action IN nominating Gov.
Howard was unwise. because there Is
no prospect Of his running again; but
they may find another candidate, or
cast their votes for the Democratic
nominee. Aside from the PrOhibi-
tiOnists. there seems to be a fac
ton of dissatisfied Republicans, for a
petition Is circulating calling a confer
ence OF Republicans who feel that Col.
Lippitt's nomination was broughtabout
by the use of means destructive to the
integrity and purity Of the Republican
party. and perilOus TO all its interests. -
The Democrats have shown good sense
in taking advantage Of the Republican
dissensiOns, and have nominated a
ticket which 50 strict q party organ as
the Prcrideacg Journal cgmmcnds, say
ing Of the candidate for Governor, Mr..
Charles r. Cutler, that he is a Sound
business man, thoroughly honest, and
Of the highest moral character; and OF
the rest Of the nominees that they are
Substantial, earnest, and influential
men" Mr. Cutler is very popular
throughout the State, having been
elected Lieutenant Governor over his
Republican competitor in 1872.

THE ESF9RCEHEN ACT Ell Sh-H
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT.
For some days past, the case Of the
United States against Cruishank and
others, Grant parish prisoners, indict-
ea under the Enforce ment Act, has
been before the United States Supreme
Court. It comes up or a certificate of
division Of opinion in the Federal Cir
cult Of Louisiana, where Justice Brad
ley. Of the Supreme Bench, held that
the act Of 1870 is unconstitutional,
while his colleague, Judge Woods, took
the opposite ground In opening Ior
the defence, last Wednesday, Judge
Marr, Of Louisiana, did not exaggerate
the importance of this case in saying
that "theIibertiesof thepeopie depended
N the decision Of the Supreme Court. -
David Dudley Field, Of New York,
followed on the same side IN IN able
and impressive argument. He said the
sole purpose Of the post-bellum amend
ment was to place the freedmen Oh
legal and political equality with the
whites. After the war they might
perhaps have been taken under the
special protection Of the Federal Gov
eminent. lint such was not the course
pursued, ana the blacks were left with
the whites under the State autonOm.es.
The States must discriminate on ac-
account Of race OF color, before Con
grass would have anything to act upon.
The Constitution forbid amy State to
pass an cz-post facto law or q bill Of at

those Of the latter amendments, but
Congress had never dreamed Of under
taking to enact laws IN pursuance of
that inhibition. Neither Is inactiOn by
State any ground for Compression

he cites the case Of Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts, which for long years
had 10 courts Of equity. Would any
one argue that Congress could have
provided such courts for those States?

THE NEGRO HEGTRA TO THE WEST.

Franklin Review and journal.
Our exchanges, from counties south
OF this. record, almost weekly, the con-
tinued hegila Of the African race, who
are going forthsesking homes IN the far
West. So far as We are able 70 learn
these movements have been made in
total ignorance Of the locality to which
they are gong, the fertility Of the soil
and the general facilities which would
tend to make their Canaan attractive
or profitable 1t seems TO have been
the result IF a wild fanaLicism. uucOn-
tr0lled by reason, and brought about,
probably, by the glowing accounts Of
Interested agents, who, by him, are
seeking t. settle up the lands Of the
gigantic landed mOnOpyiesU Of the great
Northwest. The fever Of emigration
is epidemic. The cgntagi0n has ut
last reached this county, and on
Tuesday night a large number Of
the colored population Of Frank
lin and vicinity met at the
C0l0red Baptist Church to consider
the pr0rriety Of removing from this
section. Taere were present with
them, ut the request Of prominent CO..
Ored men, Hon. Atha Thomas, Burke
Bond. esq, and Mr.. NJ. l.. Haynes.
Messrs. Thomas and Bond addressed
the meeting and urged upon the color
ed people the proPriety and absolute
necessity of first sending out reliable
agents to examine and report the char
acter of the lands, the climate and
general cOnveniences Of that section
to which the negroes were looking as
the proper place for them to settle.
The meeting was composed chiefly Of
leading men Of the colOred race, and
was marked by spirit OF good, sound
sense and discretion, which indicates a
determination on their part to
do nothing TashlY or unad-
visedly. They called another
meetiug for the first Saturday night
in April, at which time they propose
organizing a society to be known rs the
Emigration Society. Their first step
after organizing viii be to raise a suii-
Client fund to send two or more Of their
race on d prospecting tour through
Kansas, Southwestern Missouri, and
Western Arkansas. IL the report Of
these agents shall be favorable, there IS
little doubt that the colored population
Of this county, VIII to a large extent,
emigrate at once. We are glad to be-
lieve, however, that their movement
viii. be attended with such precaution
as that it VIII result IN benefit TO them.
They propose acting with system and
foretLOught, not hostility or unadvis-
edly. We appreciate the difficulties
which environ them here, and sincerely
hope that if they move away they may
prosper abundantiy.

BY the efforts Of the Maury County

Guest, Esq, last week, Tor a violation
Of the game law, passed by the Legis-
lature of 1873, prohibiting the killing
Of any game or song birds from the LIST
Of February to the lst of September,
whereupon proof was adduced sufficient
to prove him guilty of killing FIVE birds,
for which be was fined twenty-five dol
lars and costs, total amount thirty-one
dollars and twenty cents. Rather a
costly hunt. This should be a lesson
to all pot hunters, who really care
nothing for the sport, but simply make
it a matter Of meat and wholesale
slaughter. We understand the Sport
mans Club is determined to prosecute
each and every offender to the full ex-
tent Of the law-which is five dollars
for each and every bird killed, and if
the fine is not paid, the offender viii

the county work house at twenty-five
cents a day.

FAITHFUL TO ALL HIS PLEDGES

Humboldt journal
Gov. Porter was our first choice for
the Governorship of Tennessee. We
supported him cheerfully and earnest
" because we knew him TO be upright
and honorable IN the sJrictest sense.
We felt assured that no Ring" would
be able to control him, and no clamor
would influence him to depart from the
pathway Of right. In all these respects
he has fully metOur expectations. Very
often political aspirants, after reaching
the position sought, forget the promises
made to the people IN order TO secure
an election. Instances of this sort
have multiplied rapidly on the
country Of late, and this more than
anything else threatens danger TO the
State. The citizen, who as a candi-
date, advocates certain principles, and
as an officer fails to carry them out, is
unworthy the confidence Of his constit-
uency, and merits early retirement 70
private walks-he Is q dangerous rep
Tesentative-5ut the man that speaks
his sentiments boldly, and stands
sguarely and untiinchingly up to them
under all circumstances, Is worthy the
confidence of al, and merits the high
est commentator OF the pubHc-he is
IAN honest man, the noblest work Of
God.
Gov. Porter, 50 far, has proven him
self true TO ali his pledges. He has
moved his administration steadily and
quietly along the path he promised to
tread when be was a candidate; he has
shown himself "honest and capable"
and stands to-day among his friends
and enemies higher than ever before.
