free and the brave, so did Gen, Lee fight
to preserve tire rights of a free people
to gov rn themselves—a right which had
been perverted through the hatred and
bitterness of sectionalism and parly
strife.
The State Journal is, peih&ps, bat a re
flex of a certain element at the North
that would forever keep up strife between
the sections for the sake of partisan suc
cess; but they may spit out their poison
ous venom as they w’U, and like the
Journal does, but the time is rapidly
coming when the great Arneri -an heart
will respond ull over this couutiy to the
sentiments of fraternal brotherhood, and
the people of each section will be award
ed equal honesty in the part they took iu
the late war. <
The paper or the man who would do
aught to prevent a consummation so de
voutly wished for by all good citizens, is
not worthy of bearing the form of men.
Such would roo the grave of its dead for
mercenary purposes, and defile their own
homes for temporary political supremacy.
Let the Stale Journal, aud those it rep
resents, continue to spit fire and brim
stone upon the heads of “ traitors” as
they will, aud the t.me will come when
their mendacity will recoil upon them
selves with terrible force aLd fury.
NARKOW Cl'AGK RAILROADS.
The Kansas City (Mo.) Times says that
Memphis Tennessee, proposes to have
a narrow guage railroad convention at in
eatly day. Among the schemes to be
considered, and one for which Memphis
Las constantly worked, is the narrow
guage to run to Kansas City, and now
known as the Kansas City uDd Memphis
Railroad. In discussing the question
the Appeal says: “They (the several nar
row guage propositions enumerated by
this journal) need not cost more than
$12,000 per mile. To devise ways and
means, it is proposed that a convention,
constituted of those interested in these
several schemes, be held in this city at an
early day. If the people can contribute
land and money and labor enough to
grade and .cross-tie the roads, mortgage
may do the rest; and an interest held by
a city or county in one road may be used
as a basis of credit in constructing
another, and stock in these two wiil build
a third. These are matters that deserve
discussion aud the definition of practical
plans aud uniform systems. All These
roads should Lave one central depot, and
each will enrich the rest. When should
the convention sit ?”
Notwithstanding that it has been re
peatedly asserted that the Patrons of
Hii’-bandry have no political objects or
purposes i:_ view, we do not see how the
new becret organization is to be uou-
poiiticat if tbe above resolutions are aDy
indication of their objects and purposes.
Organized for tnej advancement of tbe
agrieulmrabst interest of the country,
a f and lor their own benefit, tbs Patrons
of Husbandry certainly Lave ail they
ca-i uo to consummate the object and
purposes of that organization.
It they have determined to take into
band the management and control of >: e
offices of tbe country, w> do not see how
they are to separate tueir actions from
politics—for t.iese constitute the very es
sence of politics. In saying this much
we candidly confess that we know but
very little of the real objects and pur
poses of the Patrons ot Husbandry.
Our own humble opiuiou is that it is best
that the new order should abstain from
polities, and devoie its energies to thos
interests for which it is ostensibly or
ganized to promote.
Candidates fob the Chief-Justice -
■hit-—There seems to be any number of
candidates to the vacancy on tne Su
preme Bench of the United States, made
by the death of Judge Chase. The can
didaies, so far as classified, are: Judge
Noah Swayne, Associate Justice of the
Supreme Couit; Judge David K. Carter,
of Oaio; Judge Pierrepont, Justice Mill
University Record.—We acknowledge
the reception of severul numbers of this
neat weekly college paper, published at
the University of the Sooth, Suwanee,
Tenn. The Record shows the steady
growtn and progress of the University.
The matriculants for 1873 number fifty-
three, and the whole number of students
exceed two-hundred. We recognize
among the matriculants many familiar
uames, such as Kershaw, DeSaussure,
Alston, McGowan, Simkins, Leabrook
aud lthett, from South Carolina. Texa:
Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, Geor
gia and Mississippi are also well repre
sented.
The Record shows that Mr. Hugh Craig,
of Cambridge, England, hasbeeD added
to the list of professors, as Profess >r o
the Latin Language, aud that Mr. Thos.
Williamsou, of Virginia, has been as
signed to duty as Assistant Professor o)
Latin and Master of tbe Grammar School.
These acquisitions must add greatly t
the popularity and success of the Univer
sity.
The Negbo.—The American citizen ol
African descent is a peculiar creature. It
there is anything he heartily dislikes it
is restraint or labor—especially during
the hot summer months, when he is cer
tainly the strongest. Judge Weems, of
Bibb County Court, had before nim on
Monday last some ten or a dozen ne
groes, charged with being vagrants. Most
of these plead guilty to the accusation
aud were permitted to select between
twelve months in jail and being bound out
for twelve months. Some of them ac
tually seleoted twelve mouths in jail in
preference to the same amount of service
where they will be welt fed and clothed.
There is a good deal of the African in
stinct exhibited in the selection thus
made. The cool retreat of a dungeon
these hot summer days is far more
pleasant to many negroes than honest
labor; but, then, “the colored troops
fought nobly,” and must needs enjoy
their freedom in their own way.
THR KXECVTlON OF LAW.
Public safety depends entirely npon
the execution of all laws provided for the
protection of life, liberty and prop
erty.” Unless the laws are promptly ana
sternly exec-uteJ, there can be no safety
for either, and the jaws majr as well be
blotted from the statute books. And,
yet, in the lace of these truths, crimes
are attempted to be extenuated and tol
erated in every conceivable manner.
Murderers, thieves and highwaymen are
ton often tne subject of misdirected sym
pathy, and are frequently turned loose to
prey upon tne public through the inter
cession of this raise sympathy.
The firm execution of the laws ot the
country is the only mode we can see of
suppressing crime, and it is worse than
folly to enact laws when they are not to
be carried out. W° see upou every hand,
and in every quarter, the recklessness
with which life is taken, and the too fre-
qumt escapes 1'i jm lunishment of crimi
nals. All sorts of pleas are set up in ex
tenuation of the most foul crimes. 'J ids
is not rigid. The law always ougnt to be
executed under j roper aud just convic
tions, and iu this way the increasing
spirit oi crime maybe suppress'd, aud
“law am, <-rdei” restored.
It is w. li to see iu our own Stale a
firm deh-iruination on tut- part, oi the
courts and those who have the. * nt'oree-
meut of the laws, to see tout the laws
shall be executed. Iu no ol t r way may
we hope to deter evii-doers in their out-
lawrv.
Milt; Fair
A number of geutlemen representing
the var’ous business interests and socie
ties m the city, held a meeting last night
to further consider the proposition of
holding a District Fair this Fall. A unan
imous expression of .opinion favored the
proposition. A committee of the City
Council, headed by Major Hammock,
were present, who expressed their in
dividual favor ot extending material as
sistance, financiallv, in making tbe Fair a
success. They could not speak for the
Councit, but had no doubt that it
would liberally sustain the move
ment. We think it is quite agreed that
a Fair will be held. We hope that all of
our citizens, will, with one mind, com
bine together to make it excel anything
of the kmu that has over been witnessed
in this c.ty, and thus sustain our reputa
tion for enterprise and progressiveness.
The President’s Indian Policy.—
John O. Farrell, Esq., wiitiug from Port-
neuf Canyon, Oregon, states that the

Cincinnati, June 17.—There is a sick

cases wet fatal and three survived.
Washington, June 17.—The report of
McKenzie’s exploit into Mexico bears
ibe following endorsement from Sheri
dan:
“I take pleasure in heartily approving
the concuct of Col. McKenzie as a gal
laut act. The only course for the se
curity of life and property ou our side
of the Rio Grande is to do as Col. Mc
Kenzie nas done, i do not believe tnat
any boundary should exist between the
United Statts and Mexico when we are
defending the lives «>f our citizens aud
protecting their property agaiust these
marauding bands, to whom the name
of muunrer, robber or thief applies,
as Mexico is covering their deeds.
The gallant act of Col. McKenzie is best
recorded m his plain narrative of the
event. •' can only add that the govern
ment ought to stand by McKenzie.”
The reports and Sheridan’s endorse
ments were forwarded to Gen. Sherman
and the latter endorsed as follows: “ The
conduct ol Col. McKenzie is iully ap
proved. If uu attack was made oaMes-
lean soil, as the report does not indicate,
it is clearly the auty of tne Mexican Gov
ernment to complain. Uutil then the
War Department has no official knowl
edge tnat such is the fact, aud need uot
take any action. It is my opinion that
when a band of fret-booters, murderers,
robbers and outlaws make a recognized
boundary line between two r ations at
peace as a safe-guard for their crimes,
there can be no just cause for dissensions
if the law fut forces of eithtr ration pur
sue them for the purpose of capturing
or ending their deeds of violence."

Editors Sl’N': Every candid, re
flecting man in the South must read
ily admit that one ot our chief faults
has been to under-estimate the mental
and physical strength of the people
of the North. We did it in war aud
have continued it in peace, and suf
fered as a consequence. Because Mr.
Stephens sees and points out the evils
of such a weak and suicidal policy
ou our part, numbers of tenth rate
politicians undertake to upbraid him.
They do uot confine themselves to
the rules of logic, but indulge in a
spirit of vituperation which is always
an evidence of a weak side or an im
balanced mind.
The great strength of the Republi
can party of the present is in the per
sonal popularity of Grant, and in its
financial policy and power, and to at
tack it at either or both points is un
wise, when so many weaker points
ate exposed at which it can be suc
cessfully assailed. If I understand
Mr. Stephens, lie indorses neither, but
warns our party as to the impolicy of
concentrating our strength upon
points at which we will meet with
certain repulse. Mr. (Stephens does
not need a vindication by his iriends,
which are rapidly increasing in num
bers at home and abroad ; but it ii
unfair to misconceive, misconstrue
and misrepresent his true position oi
such important questions.
That he was ng.it, and a majority
of our party wrong, in indorsing
Gree'ey, honest, fair minded men ev
erywhere frankly admit. That hj
has, in his w hole history as a states
man, been oftener right than tit-
party, is too plain to argue; and tint
lie is right at present is equally plain
If we had followed bis advice in tie
past we would have been in a much
better condition than we are, and if
we follow it in the future the chances
are ten to one that it will lead to
good results.
It would be profitable for the De
mocracy to remember that fora nunp
her of years previous to forsaking
principle for Greeley Republicanism*
that our party had gaiued gradual^
but surely. It is well to remembtr
that it is remarkable that since Gree*
eys defeat aud a return to principle,
we have gained in many sections of
the country, and from some unex
pected quarters. The great proba
bility is, that W3 will continue to do
so as long as we hold immutably to
true Democratic faith. Fast expe
rience justifies the conclusion that
nothing is gained, but much is lost,
in the abandonment of principle for
expediency. Lycurgis.
