A BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT.-CongreAEio
al debates are usually dull and monOto-
nous, and are more apt TO put one "asleep
in his little bed," than to make him
wakeful. Recently in perusing the Re
cord, we came upon the following gem,
which was spoken by Hon. Chas. f.
Hooker, of Miss, the House, at the time
of its delivery, being in Committee of the
whole on the State of the Union on the
bill to transfer the office of Indian Az
fairs from the Interior to the War De-
psFtInent. Col. Hooker is a one armed
confederate, and we believe the equal of
Lamar in every respect:
/ am sure not one of the Indian com
mittee has been animated by any desire
70 do wrong to the Indian. They have
appreciated the fact that he Is now sur
rounded by the tides of civilization COM
ing from the Atlaltic and from the Pa
cite, and that there is no longer any
western hunting ground to which he can
20. We must expect therefore to civil
lie him where he Is. He has been con-
neeted with our country from its earliest
Rettlement, from the time when our Gov
eminent was founded, when our ances-
tors came across the water to inhabit this
very Territory. lie is indiSsolubly con
Ileeted with us in many respects. The
first object of art which strikes The mind
of the baholder as he walks into the mag
nificent Rotunda Of the Capitol is the pic
ture of an Indian woman married 10 a
white man, kneeling to receive the sa-
cred ceremony of Christian baptism

rywhere all over she broad land through
out your States and Territories, we hear
the euphOniOus names which the Indian
language has given to your States and
Territories, rivers, and your mountains;

ments not devised by the brain of MAJ, |
nor built up by the handiwork of man, |
but created by God himself upon the face |
Of the magnificent country which he has

AIEMPHIs. April 24.-Thc following let
ter, although not intended for publica-
ton, has found its way into one OF the
morning papers here:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
Washington, April Is, 1876.
DEAR SIR. l am highly gratified AT
your endorsement of my course on the
Mississippi resolution. The speech crea-
ted quite Il pleasant sensation here and
throughout the North. 1t did what Few
speeches from Southern men have done,
it reached the ears and hearts of the
North, and that was the very thing
wanted 10 do. l knew that my course
would be assailed. / knew that the posi-
ton 1 took was the true one, and should
have heen coward aIid unworthy TO
represent Tennessee in the Senate OF the
United States, if had failed to discharge
the duty my judgment md conscience
dictated. Ny personal -ut-f'ss Is moth
ing. 1 trust that 1 have courage enough
to fall IL my fall is necessary To save the
people 1 represent. | should be a most
unfaithfuI public servant if 1 labOred to
secure private ends ut the expense of the
public good. No, sir; will do what l
think the interests of the people demand,
though fall thousand times in the eff
fort. Ny dear sir, the Democratic party
must become party of prineiple-ot
progress. 1t must not ride at anchor
1t must cut loose and sail out with sheets
spread and flag unfurled. 1t must not
act allirmatively. We must not perish
in the Wilderness. We must move out
of it to the land of promise-Of peace and
fraternity. What good does it do for me,
like eat, 10 turn all my hair the wrong
way and spit at Morton, Boutwell,, or any
other Senator? Is it better for me to say
that you are scOundrel and liar than
that you are wrong but honestly mista-
ken? l have had my fight and want
peace. |, for one, shall treat the war as
over. l concede that / am whipped.
concede that the negroes are free and en-
titled TO citizenship-thatt they shall not
be again enslaved. That a State cannot
secede 1 agree; and furthermore, | agree
that man may have opposed the South
and yet be an honest man-misguided, if
you please, still honest. | believethat the
South was right in the war, but the war
decided that it was in the wrong, and L
abide by the result. If the press of Ten
nessee can convince the North that have
misrepresented the temper and feeling of
my people, it will be unfortunate for
that people.
Very truly,
ID. NJ. KEY, .

JACKSON:
SATURDAY ....A APRIL 20, 1876

TmDEN AND BRIsTow.-The Courier
Journal has just published two interest
ing political biOgraphies-the one of Sec
rotary Bristow, and the other of Gov.
Sam Tflden. Of ". Y. These gentlemen
are said by their special champions to
represent the idea of reform, which must
be introduced into our politics, otherwise
the country viii perish as Mr.. Curtis has
forcibly said, with the "dry rot" No.
man can forecast the future, and there Is
nothing so uncertain as PRESIDENTIAL
election in the present temper of the
American mind, but it would really be
sign of moral advancement to witness
the names of two such men on the ban
ners of the great opposing political par
ties. Bristow may fairly be counted an
honest man, and so can Gov. Tilden, and
in the essential elements of craftsmanship
both tower high above such men as
Grant, Babcock & Co. We confess our
inclination to the nomination of demo-
cratic pure and simple. We have never
seen the wisdom of going out of the par
ty TO choose leader, and we believe such
n course will lead to inevitable defeat,
Decentralization aud utter ruin. The Gree
ly campaigne proved most disastrous
failure, because the old democrats would
not stultify themselves and belle their
whole political lives. Is there any reason
now to think, that democrats will rally
with enthusiasm around "milk and ci-
der policy?'' Distinctive principles sep
arate democracy from radicalIsm and it Is
nOnly justice-nothing more-that those
men and leaders who have given force to
those principles, who have illustrated
them in every public act, should yet be
chosen to defend and uphold them. II
there be no difference in parties, why in
the name ofcommon sense, should the peo-
pie be so disturbed with the hue and cry
OF political meetings, conventions and all
the paraphernalia of canvass? We take
1t that the race for the Presidency means
more than turning Grant out, and putting
some one else in his place. Should the
democratic party succeed, we shall ex-
pect an economic administration of the
government maintenance of all laws,
fostering Of every progressive work and
art, and an infusion of vigor and integri-
ty into every department, an assertion of
the just claims Of every section and a
faithful adherence to the constitution.
We shall expect it to signal the destruc-
ton of rings and the reinaugaration of
the ola time canon of our political creed
''that honesty is the best policy"
