THE LI'LL
Armies moot in battle, tbc terrible
•bock comes, then the victor and van
quished retire, often with more respect
for the foe than was entertained before
the test of strength and endurance. It
is so in political warfare; parties and
their leaders array themselves in tbc
strongest arguments their cause afford,
and nrmlng with all the minor inilu
enocs that may or may not attach to
some great scheme, engage for the
mastery of the position, while it often
happens the cause of truth and justice
are borne to the ground. But a short
while since the two great parties of
our country met upon the issues that
then divided them, and the colors ot
the Democratic party that had so often
been carried to victory were struck,
and witli them seemed to go down tlie
hopes of their followers for a just and
impartial administration of the nation
al affairs for another term*of years.
But hope is ever exultant, and
“Truth crushed to earth will rise again."
The present ultra Radical put ty'that
lias acquired the ascendancy by the
most unholy uses of the government
patronage, illegally wrested front its
proper source, and by bold and haz
ardous departures from the constitu
tion and the old landmarks, in which
the most despicable tyranny has been
exercised over the people of the whole
country by the illegal enactment ot
low-a that denied foil Stales nf thn lTll
ion a voice in this general verdict,
now begins to feel its insecurity and
to have a little more respect for tiic
principles of right and justice it basso
biindly ignored. The leaders of the
Radical party now begin to see some
of the errors they have committed and
are trying, in some instances, to retrace
their steps. Rut it is from no humane
promptings of the heart this action
comes. They find that by keeping
alive tin) tires of hatred and revenge
in the North, by which they may have
power to crush and humble the spirit
of the South they are pulling down
ruin upon themselves. They have no
love for us. They would gladly wipe
out the last remnant of the native
Southrons aud ruthlessly destroy and
cfl'aee every vestige of the glory that
the sons of the South have wrought for
this country—which reproaches them
with shame wherever they turn—but
they dare not. They would deal with
us as the barbarous Assyrians did
with the captive Jews. Like Hi" Mos
lem fanatics of the Last, they would
use the sword and torch to engru t
their own heresies and blasphemies
upon our religion. Rut the dawn of
truth approaches, and they must needs
rehabilitate themselves with a diti'erent
armor. They are burdened with a
load of public debt that cannot lie car
ried if the south is kcpt in a condition
to render no assistance. Their great
bankers aud financiers are now assert
ing that no solution of the financial
troubles that docs not recognize, the
aid of the South will prove successful.
They demand that peace be given to
tho country by doing her the justice
that has been withheld, and allowing
her to perform a part in the great task
through the wonderful resources she
has at hand.
Parties, like nations, when they be
come powerful, from a too tree use of
that power grow corrupt and begin to
show signs of decay. The Radical
party has grown powerful in a very
short period, nursed to that strength
by the (to it only) adventitious cir
cumstances of the war. By Ibis sud
den acquisition of power, and at a
time when it was almost impossible to
head-off corruption; growing to its
full strength, too, al nost at once, its
decay commences with its very rise. ;
There is a lull now, since the giant j
contest of November, and the Radical j
party know how powerful is the
strength of the opposition, and know .
too, that a broader platform must In
built or they will be defeated in the'
next great contest. They fear univer
sal suffrage and universal amnesty, as
it >will give the South the balance o!
power; and yet they dread tlie conse
quences of withholding from the South
her right to a voice in tho councils of
the nation, fn trying to inflict this
kind of punishment upon the South
they destroy Iter power to bear her
portion of tin’ harden* of government,
makes it unstable in every respect,
while discontent, will rise against the
administration in the North. This is
tho dilemma in which the Jiadical par
ty finds itself alter it has reached its
supreme height of power. bother
■ they will Incorporate some of tho
Democratic principles into their party,
and somewhat modify the violent tone
of their legislation toward the 8011th
that they may go before the country
in a different light remains to be seen
from the action of the next Congress.
.The change is demanded by too many
considerations to pass unheeded much
longer
TIIE Vli ESI DENT ELECT.
The fourth of March will soon be
here and alter it comes the inaugural
address and message of the President
elect. These documents may probably
(brow SOUIC light upon the course to be
pursued l>\ our next executive. It is
Hardly to be expected that he will
disappoint the potty that has placed
him in power as did Mr. Johnson
ullhoiyh we might hope for as much
from him now as we could have from
Mr. Johnson til loCo. Then Mr.
Johnson was considered to ho in bad
. odor with the (South, and pUct'iJ, a- If
■ W'H- ••
i* t. A.
was, in Hie position of President with
out the suffrage of the South, she
certainly had no elainis upon hiui hut
tlioseof justice and humanity. That Mr.
Johnson has done his duly in this res
pect no one in tlie South will hardly
attempt to deny. For the Inst two
years he lias stood against an avalanche
of abuse and contumely from the ltad
ical party to do justice to the whole
country, and to once again start it on
tlie high road to greatness and pros
perity. He stood like a Hercules with
the luaco Of his office to prevent the
party-serving plan of reconstruction
from making a desert of tlie South, lint
could not hinder the hydra-headed
monster from spawning it upon our
section. He will leave his office with
out an imputation against his character
and ability as a statesman and politi
cian that can be sustained. Grant as
President, will have more power to
restore the pence of the country, and to
do justice to the South than did his
predecessor. Whether he will exercise
that power to effect what Mr. Johnson
attempted is more Humean be pronoun
ced upon at present. Let us hope that
lie lias wisdom to discharge the high
trust that has been imposed upon
him.

The Arkansas Elector, which a short

Mr. Fred. Iv. Lyman who now pub
lishes it under the new title of the
De Witt Sentinci, at I)o Witt, Ark,
The Sentinel is Radical in polities,
with the name of Edmund R. Wiley as
editor. Thus it is that one after an
other of our Democratic exponents
arc forced to give way for the want <>l
patronage and support. The unjust
and unconstitutional law of the Stale
that forces all legal work to he printed
in some paper designated by the Gov
ernor is protecting the ••freedom of the
press” with a vim. How long will
such a la w disgrace the statutes of the
Slate? Are not onr Radical brethren
of the press willing to enter the field
of open and fair competition?

The fifth convention of the Missis

Holly Springs on the 2nd inet. An
essay on "The Newspaper Press” was
read by J. A. Signaigo, editor of the
Grenada Sentinel. It adjourned to
meet nt Canton on the first Tuesday in

arc trying to reform their street rail
road system, and promise to ventilate
' the matter until cheaper fare and more

and lecturer is now lecturing* at the
Assembly Hall, Memphis. A corres
pondent of the Memphis Avalanche
says that Generals Mnrmsdokc, Beall,
and Basil Duke, of Confederate noto
riety, are living in St. Louis, the two
former in the commission business and
the latter practicing law. A United
States soldier was shot and killed by
one of Brownlow's militia on tlie night
of the 10th, in Nashville. Tim coro
ner's jury rendered a verdict of delib
erate murder. The bill appropriating
S23.0(X» to pay additional expenses of
the militia passed the Arkansas Senate
on tile 9th ir.st. It also passed a bill
on the day following, authorizing the
Governor to appoint Collectors of
Revenue in each eonntv to hol.l olio-..

admitting Mississippi with the present

vided by the const it utloml convention
—which was voted down by the peo

was made to throw out the vote of
Georgia. The House voted to exclude

j Francis YV. Pickens, of Sooth Carolina,,
one of the earliest and most prominent
actors of tho recent civil war, passed from
! earth on Monday last. On that day
Francis YV Pickens, formerly member ol
Congress, Minister to Kussiu„and Gover
nor of. South Carolina, died at his resi
dence in Edgerfield, alter a lingering
illness, aggravated, it is said, by mental
anxiety and the disappointments which
a: tended his life. The deocased was
descendjd from one of tho most eouspicu
, ous men of Revolutionary renown, his
! grandfather being General Andrew
! Pickens, whose campaigns against the
Indians and British, in what was then
1 known as tho ‘-Warsaw Settlement,” arc
familiar to every student of American his
tory. The subject of this sketch gradua
' ted at the Fouth Carolina Co'lege in 182(5.
was soon after admitted to tho bar, and in
1828 was elected a member of the State
Legislature. After serving several terms
he was, in 1835, elected a Representative
to Congress from the district, once repre
seated by Calhoun and McDuffie. His
career as u member of the House was
sufficiently sueces-tul to insure his rolec
tion to tivo successive Congresses, in
1845 lie decliued further Congressional
honors, and retired to private life, remain
ing out of office until 1858, when he was
appointed Minister to Russia by Presi
dent Buchanan. In ISGO he was elected
Governor of South Carolina, and was a
member of the convention which took the
State out of the Union. lie was an ar
dent secessionist, and did all that was in
his power to make the cause of tho South
successful. Alter his gubernatorial term
had expired, Mr Pickens, as a private
citizen, was conspicuous in his efforts to
support the Confederate authorities in a
rigoious prosecution of the war. Large
sums of money were taken from his
private fortune and spent to further the
cause in which he had risked everyth!ug
Alter the Confederacy was overthrown, he
te.-opted tho situation in good faith.
! K’cctcJ u member of the convention
| Which met under Piesident John-on s
j plan of restoration, he did not hesitate to
! introduce a resnltti m declaring slavery
j abolished, and t .1 espouse and support such
other Measures as he believe 1 wore
! necessary to place South Carolina on to
■ mote on a friendly footing with the loyal
Slates. That ho was disappointed and
heartsick at the failure of the South to
achieve independence he ever I'ree’y ad
mitted. The almost total loss of his im
mense wealth, which included nearly six
: hundred slaves, he declared affected him
loss than the degradation to which South
Carolina was reduced hy the reoonstrtt ■
j tion laws of Congress, which ho ever op
posed. Whatever may have been thought
I of the opinions of Governor I’ickens none
can gainsay his honesty and earnestness
in tie views he held. His education,
wh ch made those views a j art of his
nature, was neither more n r less than ol
j thousands in the fh.uth who were taught
to, and even now Irelicvc that this is, or
* was, a confederation of sovereign States
and not a lie oral l nion The surrender
of Leo and Johnston was a blow from
J which he never recovered, and it would
; not be am!-a to place his name in the list
I of prominent .Southern men who e deaths

'I lie Nashville lianner, ill quuting from

observes that it the article below does not
teU ibe whole tru ll it ot least makes the
ulfort to be impartial and just, i he
evidence is conclusive that the scales are
at lenght beginning to drop from the eyes
not only of the great mass of the Northern
people of intelligence, but even Radical
politicians and presses tied it no longer
politic to attempt turther to play upon the
credulity, passtons and prejudices ot
Northern society to make political capital
at the expense ol the South, Here is the
Tribune’s article:
The casual reader may imbibe very
erroneous impressions of tip) state of the
South from what he sees in the newspa
pers. If a Kuklux outrage is perpetrated
in Tennessee or Texas, it is at mice flash*
ed over the whole country; and so of a
negro riot or resistance to legal process,
growing out of a quarrel with a planter or
planters as to the division of crops grown
on shares or the payment ot wages. Few
stop to consider that the South covers a
million of square miles, inhabited by
twelve millions of people, and that, since
every collision aniona these twelve mil
lions has a quasi partisan character, the
widely reprurted and trumpeted crimes of
violence bear an unprecedented proportion
to those which attract only local attention
For instance: There are ten or twelve
Counties in .Middle and West Tennessee
where the rebel spirit is still rampant, and
in some of which Kuklux outrages are
fitfully committed ; but the forty or titty
counties which are as quiet as any part of
New Knglaud incite no telegrams and
rarely attract public attention From
Virginia and the two Garoltnas we have
heard of but one collision for weeks, and
that was an evidently magnified report of
a resistance to civil process by a few
negroes near Norfolk From Georgia we
have only the Ogceebee troubles, which
were swolon out of all proportion by
mutual misconceptions and a palpable
effort to drive the blacks into re! ellion
and subject them to extermination From
Alabama we hear of but one recent on -
rage—the mur lor of a Uni. n office: Jf

generally been restored on the basis of
submission to law. Tex ,s is so vast and
so remote from the seat of Government
that n great mittiv of the turbulent and
implacable have taken r< fuge in her vast
solitudes and there do with impunity deeds
that would provoke repression elsewhere;
hut, even there, matters liavfc gieatly ini

On the whole, the South is looking up.
