Treason.

The New York World, referring to
the reasonable action of the leading
Radicals, says:
It may mean much or it may mean
little, but it ought to be clearly under
stood that the Radicals are talking
treason" pretty openly all over this
country. Mr.. John B. Alley. M. c.,
of Massachusetts, the other day, at
Lynn, called upon his hearers to stand
prepaced to prevent by force, if neces-
sary, the Inauguration of President
Tilden. Senator Patterson, of South
Carolina, has repeatedly made similar
appeals of late. And the Raleigh IN.
CO. News of October 29th announces
that Mr.. r. G. Badger, the United
States District Attorney for the East
ern District of North Carolina, asserted
in a speech at Newbern that ''the
United States Senate would refuse to
declare Tilden elected if he did re-
ceive majority of the votes of the
Electoral College, and would most
certainly reject the returns from South
Carolina, Louisiana and Florida, pro-
vided those States voted for Tilden."
Perhaps the human race may not lose
much if these people really undertake
to carry their threats into action. They
may expect decent burial at the hands
of a Democratic Government, but no
contracts for head stones" will be
made.

The trees of the forest are con-
stantly struggling with each other, and
with the elements as well. In local
ity where there are prevalent winds
the tree puts forth its rooty anchors
and braces against the attack which
otherwise would overthrow and des-
troy it. Insects are provided with
methods of concealing themselves from
their enemies, and those same foes
have peculiar faculties for hunting
them out and destroying them. Some
species Of animal life, as the toads and
chameleons, change the color of the
skin so that it approximates to the sur
roundings, and are thus afforded some
protection from natural enemies. So
in every department of life, from the
least monad to the highest organisms,
all have their methods of attack and
defence-all are provided for by ma
ture, and the races are perpetuated
generation after generation, until an
organism, having run its allotted
course, drops from the living list and
is entombed perhaps in the sand or
chalk strata, or more permanently in
some rock formation-monumental
remains of extinct vitality.
Fishes are not exempt from the
general law which requires a constant
struggle for existence. 1t is not man
alone who is compelled to earn his
daily food, and fight his way BY hard
knocks in this busy world. Every
living thing has its work to do, and its
goal to attain, and the "toilers of the

Our Next United States senators.

Our next Legislature will be requir-
ed to elect two United States Senators,
This is now the NEST important ques-
ton for the consideration of the peo-
pie of Tennessee, and it's importance
cannot be over estimated. The first
consideration with our Legislature, IN
selecting the two Senators, should be,
that they must be Democrats, good
and true, and next that they must be
the very ablest men of that political
faith. Tennessee now, if ever before
in her history, should put forward her
ablest men as representatives 10 the
National Councils, and especially
should this be so with her two Sena-
tors for the next four and six years.
Claims of ability and statesmanship
are fair superior to mere party claims.
Though some particular Democrat, a
good and true member of the party,
may have claims upon the party, which
would seem to entitle him to the posi-
ton of Senator, still if there isanother
Democrat, who has greater ability and
experienee-a better statesman, In
other words, then the claims OF this
latter should be esteemed as superior
to the first, and the position given him.
One of the two Senators to be elected
by our next Legislature is to fill out
the next four years of the unexpired
term of the lamented Andrew johnson,
and the other to succeed Hon. Henry
Cooper, whose term expires next
March. Of the prominent Democrats
of the Stete who have been mentioned
for the two Senators to be elected, are
the following: Ex-Gov. Isham &. Har-
ris. Gen. w. B. Bate, Hon. james Z.
Bailey. Hon. D. NJ. Key and Hon.
Peter Turney.
Of these, with the present lights be-
fore us, we unhesitatingly pronounce
our preference for Gov. lsham &.
Harris for the long term, and Hon.
James L. Bailey for the short term.
In our opinion, Gov. Harris is un-
duestionably the ablest statesman in
the State, aud there is no true: patriot
in the length and breadth of this
broad Union. Hon. James K. Bailey
is second to Gov. Harris only in politi-
cal experience. His legal and general
attainmentsa are thorough and profound
and Of the highest order, and with a
little experience be would quickly
take the front rank among statesmen
in the National Councils. We earn
estly appeal to our Legislators to give
Tennessee Harris and Bailey as her
next U. 5. Senators.-ShelbyUtlLe Ga
zette, NoU. 10.
