WASHINGTON, April 3.-HoUsE-
The debate on the army appropriation

spoke of the great and historical i'm
portanco of the principle involved.
He characterized as the great funda-
mental principle of republican
liberty that the ballot-box should
be protected from the slight
est approach of the military ;
that voters shall be left absolutely free
in exercising at the polls the highest
prerogative of citizen, He quoted
the English statute of George ii, for
the removal of troops from a place
where the election is to be held,
and cited Blackstone, That it
is essential that elections shall
be absolutely free and that
therefore all undue influences are
illegal and are prohibited" lie had
expected such a question would have
been discussed with calmness and
dignity, but in this he had been
disappointed.

Boston Post.l
The Hon. James G.. Blaine is a
thrifty man, as all who know him will
admit, but we hardly think the public
has ever been informed how he made
his substitute do double duty in the
days of the war. Mrs. Blaine desired
a new piano, and her husband told her
she should have it. The days came
and went. At that time Names idol
son" was not as prosperous as he has
becoUe since. One day he called to
his wife Sue, here's your piano.
She looked out and saw q man coming
up the walk, but he bore no visible
relation to the musical instrument in
question. What do you meanY she
asked. II mean" pathetically replied
James, that | have hired this man
to take my place in the army. If he
doesn't go, | must. If he goes, we
cannot afford the piano" The history
of that substitute is familiar to the
country. We trust that Mrs. Blaine
eventually got her piano, and that it
was of better quality than the vicari-
Gus warrior.

THE Rebels are again in power, "
says the New York Times. Well,
what of it? The men called rebels
are the right men in the right place.
Honesty is in the ascendancy; there
will be no more stealing from the pub
lie treasury, times are already improv-
ing and the country will soon be pros
porous. If the Rebels" could have
come in power ten years sooner il
would have saved the country financial
depression, turmoil and public domor-
alization. The Southern Democrats
by their conservatism, GOODNESS and
patriotism saved this country from
what threatened to be a revolution
during the struggle over the electoral
vote two years ago. Such men can be
trusted with the affairs of this country,
and their accession to power works a
new and a better era than VIC have
known in eighteenyears Prudence and
political sagacity will carry the next

is thought to denote the existence of
desperate short interest. The pro-
fessed object of the suits is to fasten
on the Wabash railroad, by way of lien,
$780, 900 of unsecured bonds issued in
1862 by the old Toledo and Wabash
Railroad Company, and on which no
interest has been paid for several
years. New bills are filed weekly and
one-sided accounts Immediately sent
out. Five different attempts in as
many years to fasten these bonds on
the Wabash railroad have already
failed, and none of the recent proceed
ings given thus far promise any differ

h. V. SMALLEY, the well.known
correspondent Of the New York Tri
bune, will shortly commence series
of letters for that paper upon the po-
litical, social and industrial condition
Of Texas He proposes to describe,
without exaggeration or prejudice the
principal cities and towns, the cotton.
wheat, lumber and grazing regions,
the condition and character of the
population, and the state of political
feeling Mr.. Smalley is more of a
fair-minded man than most of the
Republican correspondents sent down
to write up the South. We hope he
will treat Texas better than the
Northern papers which continue to
attribute the murder of Porter, at
Marshall, by the desperate Currie, to
the prevalent ideas and methods of
Southern society, even after the fact
comes out that Currie was a Northern
man and fugitive from justice. We
can say for Texas that the laws are
executed as well, and that society is
as good there as in any new and thinly
settled State, and that it is rapidly
improving. Men of muscle and in
dustrious, sober habits can do well
there. Men of means always find
good investments in Texas real estate,
stock, grain or wool. Itis the coming
State of the Union.

rEnxEsSSEs OLDEST rowx

The ancient town Of Jonesboro, in
his State, will be one hundred years
Old some time this summer. The cor
porate existence of the place was
Abolished by an act OF the present
general assembly, but that will not
interfere, or should not, with the
celebration of such an interesting
centennial Historic memories Of
great interest and Importance cluster
atound this the Oldest town in the
State. These should be revived and
set forth in glowing language, that the
world may be reminded that the early
pioneers Of Tennessee were equal in
prowess, intelligence and foresight to
any of the heroes in the history of this
country, and that the present genera
tion of Tennesseeans may be inspired
with just appreciation of their an
Vcestors and with a proper feeling of
patriotism and State pride. We have
s much to be proud of as the people
# any New England State, yet how
little the masses seem to know or care
for the early history of Tennessee.
Our history is almost inaccessible to
the people; our relies and curiosities
are gathered up and sold to
the museums of distant States.
DR.. j. G. NJ. Ramsey, the ven
cradle historian has done more than
any other man to preserve and trans
nit the history of the State, but his
annals only come down to the early
part OF this century. 1t is intimated,
though not announced, that another
prominent gentleman of East Tennes-
see is collecting material and will take
up the history of Tennessee where
Dr. Ramsey left off, and bring it down
to the beginning of the war, or even
later. We hope this is correct, and
that the work will be accomplished.
1t is profitable to review the trials and
struggles of our pioneer ancestors,
wholaid wide and deep the foundations
of society and free government
in what was then wilderness,
far from the centers of learning,
Of commerce, and Of civilization, and
beset by difficulties and dangers of
which we dream nothing and know
nothing by experience The celebra-
tion of such centennial as that pro-
posed at Jonesboro cannot fail to have
a very salutary and happy effect, both
upon the older and rising generation.
We hope the idea will be carried out
While We disagree aud wrangle and
oppose each other upon many little
questions, now We can unite, without
dissent, in honoring the sturdy men
and the good women who lived in this
State one hundred years ago.

There is but one thing to be done.
Kentucky owes it to the civilization
of the epoch in which we live, no less
than to herself, that speedy trial be
held, and that the law, violated in its
sanctity, shall be vindicated and exc
cuted without technical let or hin
derance. The individuality of the
unhappy man who has brought this
terrible calamity upon himself and its
attendant responsibilities upon us,
sinks to nothing. 1t is not to be
thought of. Behind him the stern
image OF justice stalks in robes as
white as snow, and to these robes there
cling the memories of the past,
which ennoble our history, tie
necessities of the present which shape
our destiny, and the hopes of
the future which enshrine the in
dependence and the security of our
courts as the surest guarantees of
popular liberty aud happiness. We
cannot, we dare not, shrink from our
plain duty Not in anger, but as
parent whose heart bleeds for the
living and tho dead, must the Com
monwealth proceed with this dreadful
business. The wrath of God and the
scorn of men are suspended over us.
II is ours to show that we deserve
neither, but that we are inspired by
the courage and high empriso of our
