almost universal wish of his fellow
citizens, and are satisfied that,
though he accepted the nomination
unwillingly, he will, when elected,
devote the energies of his whole
mind to the duties of the Office. We
will not indulge in common place

And now co mes the next duty that
of nominating a thorough business
man in every ward for Alderman;
not man who needs the Office, but
one whom the Office needs. a good
Mayor can do but little without an
efficient City Council, and what the
city wants is Board of Mayor and
Aldermen who mean business and
know how TO do t.

Bailey as was right, for it was in
no respect a personal question which
was before the court, but one simp-
" Of the Interpretation OF the law,
and If anything outside had been
said offensive to the Judge, that
was not the place to speak OF 1t.
The question was Of establishing a
rule which should be applicable to
all Judges, and not especially to.
Judge Tyler. The result was a par
tisan feeling introduced which still
further rendered a judiciary decis-
ion impossible. What is to be the
practice IN this county Is settled /;
what the law is remains to be seen,
that question was not even brought
before the Court.
But circumstance occurred on
the subsequent motion, which sur
prised and grieved US much more
than what we have so far comment
ed upon. 1t was Judge Tyler's as
sertion that the united South is
opposed to the payment of United
States bonds, and would repudiate
them If 1t had the power, in which
sentiment the Judge announced his
hearty concurrence. We deny the
! assertion altogether, and deplore its
expression from one occupying
Judge Tyler's position. We will
not trust ourselves to comment fur
( Their upon the matter, but yet hope
that Judge Tyler will reconsider his
opinion and take some opportunity
of modifying it in public.

THE COUNTY COURT.

The proceedings of the County
Court at its adjourned meeting,
held last Monday, have been looked
for with unusual interest, and we
have taken unusual pains to have
them duly reported. Everybody
was anxious that the Judges bond
should be settled upon sound, le-
gal basis, and was prepared to be
satisfied with such a settlement.
Unfortunately the method adopt
ed in settling it was not such as to
satisfy this expectation. Legal
opinion was taken by the commit
tee, but, strange to say, not pro-
duced in court, and when the CUES
ton was decided it was pronounced
against four members out of the five
who constituted the committee,
and who alone had read the legal
opinions on which the decision
ought to have been based. What
we claim IS, not that the decision of
the court was a wrong one, but that
the public had no evidence and
even the court had no evidence
that it was a right one.
The method adopted seemed to
us 10 be at variance with all parlia-
mentary usage. Two conflicting
reports being sent in by the COM
mittee, it was determined that first
the minority should be acted upon
and then the majority report, the
unprecedented principle being as
sumed from the first that the receiv-
ing of one or the other of them nee
essarily included the decision of the
question at issue, according to the
recommendation of that committee
which was accepted. The minority
report Signed by one committed
man alOne) was brought up for ac-
ceptance, and, after a long desultory
discussion, fits acceptance was voted,
and this was held to exclude the
consideration of the majority report
on the ground that the acceptance
OF the other carried with it the
adoption Of its advice in all respects.
The result Is that the advice of four
ffths OF the committee, as given in
the majority report, was never con-
sidered at all, nor yet the legal adj
vice on which it was grounded.
The correct method, it seems to
US, would have been to accept
both as a preliminary, and then
determine how far the advice of
either should be taken. The sub
jects might well have been taken
suceessively-first the conditions Of
the bond, ard then itsamount; and
a conclusion might so have been
arrived at satisfactory to all par
ties.
Another obstacle TO the judicial
decision of the question, was the in
tense personal feeling brought into
il by Judge Tyler at both the meet
ings. This ought to have been en-
tireIy excluded. Those who differ
ed with him were throughout very
careful TO guard against anything
personally irritating or anything
personal in any sense, 1--WE speak |

WHO ARE THE REVOLUTION
lists

In virtue of the proceedings in the
extra session, the Republicans are
incessant in charging the Democrat
JIG party with intending to subvert
the government If they gain pre-
dominance in the National councils.
and of bringing about, by political
ehicanery, the revolution which
they failed to effect by war. No
one, who takes up a Radical speech
or Radical newspaper now, can
fail 10 meet this charge eagerly
pressed against us.
his absolutely false; the Demo-
cratic party not only accepts the
Constitution as IL stands with all
the amendments, but demands it as
II stands, while the Republicans are
dissatisfied with it, being unable to
reconcile their demands with its
provisions. We demonstrated last
week how completely at war with
the letter and spirit of the Constitu-
ton were the Davenport laws, about
which the main controversy now
exists between the parties. We
made It clear, we think, in that pa
per that the tenor ofthe Constitution,
as interpreted by eighty years prac-
tice, was to the effect that the States
and not the Federal Government
were the lawful repositories of the
duty of experimenting election, but,
nevertheless, these laws were based
upon the principles of extorting
that whole power from the State
government, and mOnopolizing it
by Federal officers; nor is this
solitary instance: Mr.. Thad Ste
vens, while he was the ruling pow
err in Congress, openly boosted that
the legislation from 1865 to 1870 was
outside the Constitution Thus the
civil rights bill is now coming be-
fore the Supreme Court, and many
o. its provisions have been set aside
as null and void because at variance
with the Constitution and the
leaders of the Republican party
have never relinquished the claim
so to legislate, though the exercise
of it has to be suspended, since the
majority has swayed to the Demo-
cratic side. The whole tenor of
of their speaking and writing goes
to show that they are ready to re-
sumo their extra-constitutiOnal leg
islatiOn whenever they can reverse
that balance, and one of their
organs, the Lemars Sentinel (IOwa),
openly avows that the concentrated
government, which they want to
establish under Grant, can only be
set on foot by a total abolition Of
the present Constitution with
its State lines, its Senate equally APP
pOrtioned among the States, and its
election Of President by States
whenever that election is thrown in
to the House. In these opinions
the Sentinel claims that the stall
wart leaders are with it, and it
claims no more than the truth; for
the speeches Of Chandler, Robson,
etc, have this meaning or none,
and the Radical press follows suit
every day. We repel, then, the
Republican accusation of us as rev.
Olutionists we not only repel it
hut retOrt it on our accusers. They
are the revolutiOnists They are the
enemies to the Constitution, whose
wise restraints are incompatible
with their disorganizing purposes.
We, on the hand, stand on the Con-
stitution as it is, and demand it in
its integrity as the inviolable char
ter of the nations freedom.

In ... s48,793 .
Besides these funds in currency,
/ they reported in the Northern Bank
! 1873 Tennessee bonds of one thous-
and dollars each estimating these
at worth about % cents on the dol
lar, their aggregate value would be
S33, $50, which added to the above
sum, raises the funds current and
convertible, subject to the Judges
order, TO Ss2,O43.
The committee believe, however,
that a bond of $4,000 will be salts
factory to the tax payers, or the
great majority of them, and accord
ingly recommend that sum.
In making this report the COM
mittee desire to record in the fullest
terms their confidence in the integ-
rity and capability OF the Hon.
Judge Tyler, and their friendly
feelings for him.
This report is signed by Esquires
l. p. Howard, Chairman J. n.
Blackf0rd, r. d. Read, and G. H.
Slaughter.
The minority report was brought
up by Griffin Orgain, Esq, and
signed by him only.
1t contends that the Court can re-
quire of the County Judge only
bond for the purposes expressed in
sections 42l and 422 of the code, and
that these refer simply to the TAX
ing care of the books and papers of
the county, and accounting with its
financial officers. 1t is denied that
the word, property" as used in
this law, is meant to include mon
les and convertible securities sub
ject to the order Of the Judge; if it
did, the anomaly would occur of re-
quiring in one section bond from
the County Judge to cover the
bonds, ETC., in his hands, and the
other OF authorizing him to appoint
an agent to take care Of the same
property of whom no bond is re-
quired.
The Court is reminded by the COM
mittee that the action of this day
will not only fix the amount of Sc
curity to be required Of Judge Ty-
Ter at this time, but will be prece-
dent for all future transactions of
the sort, and recommended on that
consideration to "gO slow" that in
future not only n Criminal Judge
but a Chairman of the County Court
may be called GA to give such bonds,
the engrOssing occupations Of the
Judge not enabling him TO perform
the functions of financial agent.
When this is the case the Office of
presiding magistrate will only be
accessible to rich men or their con-
nections. poor men being excluded
from the Office by the excessive
bond required f; and most of the re-
manning report IS occupied with
defamation on the hardship to
which the poorer Office-seeker will
be so subjected.
1t seemed strange to us that the
written opinions of the lawyers,
who had been consulted by the
were not read in court,
though two of them were handed /
in with the report and the other
announced forthcoming if required
the Court was left to infer that the .
substance of them was embodied in
the two conflicting reports.
The chairman announced that the
frSt thing in order was the reading
Of the minority report and its dis
posaI, for which purpose Griffin
