The crafty managers who; j thought, when he made his conven - tum with Johnston, that thev had ; now found the man they had been nooKin lor, must waicn uic (lauy l",r,:ii iiiosl pruiiuu solicitude. For the General isplain0' ot a man to be manipulated. He 'speaks clearly his own views without the least regard to any conceivable I C J nrty exigency. lie has all the traj ditionnl honesty and directness of a j soldier. In New York he disdained the embraces of the Common CounI eil, to which political aspirants nre j usually obliged to submit. In Ohio j he said that General Cox was a good soldier, nnd he hoped he would be elected Governor. Yet there were persons who thought that the hero of Atlanta would actually receive a nomination from the party that supporled Vallandiiiham two years i ago! In Indianapolis without the f least regard for "the compromise,' or ine divine rigius oi mates to maue Leasts of men, so lorn a cherished "principle" of "the party' he said j that his sea-faring ancestors helped ) to import slaves, and he felt it to be his duty to atone for the ancestral .sins. Alas for the managers! A man with profound moral convictions i-i not u safe candidate for "the party." General Sherman, indeed, opposes negro sull'rage and indiscriminate intercourse with whites. He says that his experience in Mexico and South America led to this conclusion. Did his experience in those countries also persuade him that white suÜYngc was any more to be trusted? He believes, also, that the whites must have the trovcrniiifr power. IJut the American doctrine of Liberty asserts equality of opportunity for all men. It has nothing to do with the color of faces or the equality oi races. A professional politician appeaiing to the grog-shops and party -spiiit may harangue about "white men," and welcome. Hut the conceit that men arc not to have equal rights because of their color is a foolish figment that will not long be entertained in so mnscMilino a brain and honest a heart as General Sherman's. His rood sense rallied again in saving that military law was the natural law of self-preservation; but when the necessity was passed he hoped the civil law would resume its sway. There Is a boyish impulsiveness aad frankness in all that General Sherman says and docs which are very winning. His instincts nre generous, but his conclusions arc often immature and hasty. Amazed as wc were by the convention which he made with Johnston, we can not praise too highly the manly tone of his letter of the :20th of April to the Secretary of War, in which he said, with noble simplicity, "I admit my folly in embracing in a military convention any civil matter;" and added, with touching pride, "I had llattcrcd myself that b four years of patient and unremitting and successful labor I deserved no reminder such as is contained in the last paragraph of your letter to General Grant." General Sherman's speeches have doubtless imperiled his chances which ho probably despises with the politicians, but they have not harmed him in the estimation of honest men. Harder s Wetkly.

all scheming and selfish dilatorincss; and embrace the present opportunity of reinstating ourselves in the dearh prized rights of American citizenship, a'.d in building up anew the strength and unity and true honor of our beloved America. Our true friends and future allied in the North are those who are now pleading in our behalf for justice and for a kindly and politic forbearance as to the past. If wc fail not to be equal to the demands of the present critical exigency, we snail in a lew snort years at most find ourselves once more happy, and safe, and prosperous. For I am not among those who at all doubt the complete success of the new system of labor now being introduced in the South; nor do 1 agree with those who apprehend any great injury of any kind as likely to arise from the proposed extension of the elective franchise to both classes of our Southern population alike. I doubt not at all that with proper judgment, diligence and thrift, Southern plantations will be as prosperous under the new system of agricultural labor as they ever were under the old one; and I am decidedly of opinion that there will be as little of fraud and unfairness in our elections hereafter in the Southern States, at;.d i'ov the whole as judicious and beneficial an exercise of the right of suffrage, as there has ever heretofore been. DemagoguUm I and corruption will not be more like-! ly to obtain a dangerous ascendancy among us than in former days; and j since it is a fixed fact, that persons of African descent are hereafter to be free, it will be far better to make friendsvand neighbors, and brethren of them, than to retain them in our midst as pariahs or helots. Our true interest is in assimilating cur whole Southern population in political lights, in settlement, in mental culture, in a just and affectionate j neighborship, ami in a true and loyal j brotherhood. At any rale, this ex-! pcriment is proposed to us under j circumstances which do not permit j ssfifcly to decline its trial; an wc shall be worse than madmen if we reject iiieoppuiumu innmm iuuv of at once escaping from the fearful, domination of military power, nnd, returning once more to the vencratctlj .hi. . . . ,i 1 .... rigl.L oi uuu ' . jui.N, inc. icgm.u iuministration ol justice by civil tnbu. iiais, unit au tnc accuMouicu ;n i .wiumcnU known to a state of republican freedom.

Congressional Election---Vote of the City ol Nashville. The Congressional election yesterday passed off in this city. The poll was large Ü, 4 15 but not so large as was expected, the number of voters registered having been upwards of J, 000. A large proportion of this number belong to the country, and voted doubtless at the precincts outside of the city. Numbers not being aware of the f:ct that the polls closed at o'clock, 1 M., failed to get their votes in, having called at the places of voting too late. It will be seen by reference to the vote, that Gen. Win H. Campbell carries the city b a majority of '21)1. This is an unexpected result. Air. Carter ought to have gone out of the city with a very decided ma jority. The vote in the city decides j the fate of the district. Gen. Campbell f-lectod. u e can not rejoice over, his election we shall not lament. If j the remaining districts in the State have elected men entertaining views similar to those Of Gen. Campbell, and the House of Hcpresentativcs

should decide not to admit them to 'things up strong and in a legal manscats in that body, we suppose wejncr, so I proceeded to the hotel,

The following description of a marriage in Illinois by a newly appointed Justice of the Fcace, who is something of a wag, is taken rertathn from a letter written to a friend in this city. He says: 'Having been appointed to the desirable 4pois!f of Justice of the Pence, I was accosted on the .)th day of July by a sleek looking vomur man, and in silvery tones requested to proceed to a neighboring hotel, as he wished to enter into "the holy bonds of matrimony. Here was a -squelcher.' I had never done anv thing of the kind, had no books or forms; yet I was determined to do bearing in my arms one copy of the Kevised Statutes, one ditto ebstcr's Unabridged Dictionary, one copy large size Hible, a small cop of the Creed and Articles of Faith of the Congregational Church, one copy of Pope's Kssay on Alan, and a sectional part of the map where the victim lived. Having placed a table in the middle of the room, and seated myself behind it, I, in trumpet tones, called the case. With that the young man and woman, with great alacrity, stepped up before me. Having sworn them on the dictionary to answer well and truly all the questions I wa about to ask, I proceeded: I told the young man that, being an entire stranger, I should have to ask him to give bail for the costs. Having heard this so frequently in court, I thought it indispensable. He answered if I meant the fee for performing the ceremony, he would deposit it then and there. As I did nt know exactly what I did mean, I magnanimously waived that portion of the ceremony. I then told him it would be necessary to give bail to keep the peace. This he said he was willing to do when he arrived at home, and I then waived that point! 1 also.

Iig words are great favorites with people of small ideas and weak coni ecntions. Thev are often emnloved by men of mind, when thev wish to use language that may best conceal their thoughts. With few exceptions, however, illiterate and half educated persons use more "big words" than people of thorough education. It is a vcr- common but very egregious mistake, to suppose that long words are more genteel than short ones just as the same sort of people imagine high colors and t flashy figures improve the styles of dress, lhey are the kind of folks s'de. iluw don t go to bed, but j mysteriously "retire." They don't icat and drink, but "partake of reficshments." The' arc never sick, I 1 ..1 it 1.. . i but "extremely indisposed." And instead ot dying at last, they "decease." The strength of the Knglish language is in the short words chiefly monosyllables of Saxon derivation; and people who arc in earnest seldom use an other. Love, hate, anger, grief, joj, express themselves in short words and direct sentences; while cunning, falsehood, and affectation delight in what Horace calla vetta set fjtttpedalni words ft "foot and a half long." Tim Prkitiest Place foi: Girls. The prettiest place for a pretty girl, in the rosy months of summer time, is a Mower garden. There is a kind of poetic analogy between the two. Suppose, reader, you arc a young gentleman, on the qui t ire for a nice little wife that is worth something after you get her suppose yourself dropping in for a morning call; which would you prefer, the lisping young lady who comes dropping down stairs,aftcr keeping you waiting long enough to take hcr screwed-up ringlets out of curlpapers, to change her dress, put on hcr gayest rings, brooches and chains, and rub a little chalk powder over the skin that is yet dim and sallow from last night's ball; or the fresh-checked girl that trips in from her dainty gardening work with lips more scarlet than hcr verbenas, and eyes sparkling like the dew drops down in the hearts of her blue bells? Good gracious! wc shouldn't hesitate a moment. Wc should propose to walk in the garden that very instant, and then and there we should pop the question straightway. The roses and lily-clusters wouldn't tell of us if she did give us one of her little mittens to hold! Dancix. Dr. Kadie, one of the best Hiblical scholars of this age, says in his Cyclopedia: From a collection of all the passages in Scripture in reference to dancing, it may be inferred, 1. That dancing was a religious act, both in true and idol worship. Ü. That it was practiced exclusively on joyful occasions, 3tich as national festivals or great victories. o. That it was performed on such occasions only by one of the sexes. 4. That it waa performed usually in the day time, in the open air, iu highways, fields and groves. 5. That men who perverted dancing from a sacicd use to purposes of amusement were deemed infamons. 0. That no instances of dancing are found upon record in the Hildo in which the two sexes united in tho exercise, cither as an act of worship or amusement. Lastly, That there is no instanco upon record in the Hible of social dancing, for amusement, except that of the "vain fellow ' void of shame. religious which proended Hcrodias, vow of John the constitute the business part of tho ' community those who make our great and useful men w ere tatigni m i their bovhocnl to be industrious. ...
