As the immortal Wasliing'oii fought the battls of Ainer- icau iudepemitoc^ upou lue success which was t-ii i-teti tne g-iveri.mtut cf the 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 Boise Indians, in speaking of ibeir neigii- er, Roscoe ConklVng^ and Morrison bors \ tbe Modocs > says that their hearts are sick to see what is going on at the agency.

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."

St. pliens Needs no Viodirat on. 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.
