Y'he Tennessee Election.

The Nashville journals agree in holding
up the election in Tennessee held on Ssturs
day, March 5, like that in Louisiana, as q
miserable sham. This remarkable concur
renee speaks daming volumes against the
whole proceeding. The Nashville Un;on
(Abolition) dcnounces the election, 90 far al
that city was concerned, as "a serious farce"
The Untnn says.
Very few Of the original Union men %o-
ted at all, for they had warning in advance
that frauds like those practised by King
lsham e. Harris. and his minions, would. be
used. They had denounced the rebel frauds
OF 1861, and were tlot willing to compliment
the devil by adopting his programme. In
public meeting called unconditional

Mayor Of the city. as reported by city pa

The Union states that meeting which
ratified the caucus nominations, ON the
Thursday night preceding the election, ap"
pointed committee to ascertain who were
entitled to vote, and "to instruct the judges
accordingly" The Nashville Dispatch, the
organ OF ANDREW JOHNSON, Military Cover
nor Of Tennessee, evidently drawing it as
mild as possible, says Of the election: .t-
A large number OF soldiers and Goferna
ment employs voted, the question generally
put to them being-"Have you been here
six monthsp" or "How long have you been
here?" In most OF the wards the oath pre-
scribed by Governor johnson was read to
the voter; in one ward, the Judge, after res
questing the voter to bold up his right hand,
said, "Have. you read or heard read, the
oath prescribed by Governor Johnson, and
are you willing to subscribe to it?' Answer
ing In the affirmative, his vote was received.
Among the votets were members Of regi-
ments from Indiana, and other States, but
chiefly the 18th Michigan, the Invalid Corps,
and inmates Of hospitals. Government em,
ploys were we'll represented, large numbers .
voting in all the wards as far as our obser-
vation permitted US to judge. @
In view OF the facts thus mildly set out
by Gov. JoHNsoN's own organ, the editor Of
The Press, who stood against all the threats
and Establishments ofsecession, excaiups:
"What a commentary! The noble and
generous sons af Tennessee for long, long
years have not been permitted to say wheth-
er God or Baal should rule over them, and
when this priceless privilege is believed to
De within their reach, which they would
welcome as blessing from heaven, this is

that it enhances the prices of COM
modities, doubling our debt at the
same time that it takes half the bread
from the mouths of the laborer's chil=
dren.
The increase in price that results
from this cause ought in fairness to be
partially offset by an increased rate of
wages; but the relief can only be par
tial. The only efectual remedy is in
the election OF an honest and capable
administration. The laboring classes
should, moreover, reflect that the war
must at some time end, and that the
disbanding of the army and the stop
page of the manufacture of army sup
plies will overstock the labor market,

peace a period of unexampled distress.
IF workmen should take undue advsn-
tage of the present brisk demand for
labor, they cannot expect the heads of
the establishments in which they have
comfortable situations to be more con-
siderate when multitudes are begging
for employment. The true thing to
do is for the employer and the employ

the United States, which, by an act of
Congress, is exempt from taxation,
and, therefore, does not bear its equal
proportion and share in the support
of our State and National Governs
ments, enabling corporations and in-
dividuals to withhold a large amount
of personal property from taxation,
thereby throwing large and unequal
burden on other personal property
and real estate; therefore,
Resolved, by the General Assembly
of the State Of Ohio, That our Rep,
resentative in Congress be and they
hereby are requested, and our Sena-
tors instructed, to provide for such
change in the laws of Congress, that

Abolition Oufrage-A ReprPsen

While Speaking I'm the Ohio
House OF Representatives.

The House of Representatives held
an evening session last night to dis
cuss the resolutions condemning mobs.
After the Rev. Mr.. Thompson had de-
livered q violent and most abusive
speech against Democrats, Mr.. Mayo,
the young and talented Representa-
tive from Butler county, addressed the
| Chair in favor Of the resolutions con-
demning mobs and favoring the liber-
ty of speech and the press, and while
proclaiming his opinion that the free
dom of the press was more valuable
than any government, and that where
the two could not co-exist the govern
ment ought to go down. Mr.. Free,
the member from Perry, staggered
down the isle, and approaching Mr..
Mayo in threatening manner, asked
several questions (which Mr.. Mayo
answered. The answers appeared to
enrage Free, though there was no
thing uncivll or personal in them
Free then asked Mayo if he believed
in the liberty of treason. Mayo re-
piled that he did not understand the
question, and reiterated what he had
said in regard to the press, when Free
said "You are Cd id traitor!"
Mayo turned to Free and replied that
those acquainted with the intellectual
capacity of Free and his family were
not surprised at any expression he
might use. Free thereupon struck Mr..
Mayo blow in the face which stag>
gered but did not knock him down.
Members interfered and dragged the
brutal and infuriated Free away, and
Mr.. Mayo concluded his speech. The
excitement was so great, however, thar
the House adjourned. .

tion among all decent members of the

The New Hampshire Election.

The majority for Gilmore (Aboli-
tionist) for Governor at the recent
election in New Hampshire is about
five thousand. This is less than the
number of soldiers sent home under a
pledge to vote for Gilmore. The
Concord Patriot says that taken the
statements of Republicans and off,
cials likely to be correctly informed,
the number of soldiers and persons
from aboard brought home to vote,
was about as follows: Cavalry and
sharpshooters, $50; 9th regiment, 200;
18th do, 500; I'd, 5th and 18th do,
450, Sd and 4th do, 750; 10th and
18th do, $50; Hospitals, 700; Camp
Follows, 500; Clerks and Fmpoyees,
500; Invalids, 800; Outsiders. Deser-
ters, etc., 1900 Total, 6,400.-
Without these reinforcements pledge
to vote their ticket, the Abolitionist in
New Hampshire would have been de-
feated in the late election, in spite of
all their corruption and other rascal>
ity. ...

R@T One of the curious phenomena
of this war is, that just prior to raid
or engagement, the threadbare story is
repeated that the rebels are destitute
of provisions and are starving to death,
so that the contemplated blow will be
easily inflicted, and will about finish
them. Yet the 'loyal" Abolition
journals tell US, and surely they ought
to know, that Sherman alone destroy
ed provisions enough to subsist the re-
bel army for six months, and found
on his late reconnaissance a land filled
with abundant supplies. Notwith-
standing the alleged weakness of the
enemy from want of provisions and
from desertions, in this springs cams
paign so far, we have been worsted at
all important points. s
The humbuggery practced by Abolition
demagogues upon the people since the
war began, as to the strength and re-
sources of the Confederacy. would be
laughable, did it not involve such aw,
full consequences. The Detroit Free
Press mentions a gentleman of stat
istical turn of mind, who has kept a
careful record of the desertion from
the rebel army since the first Bull
Run, as they have been reported by
the Abolition press, and the sum total
shows that Three Millions and the
Three Hundred Thousand rebel sol>
diers have abandoned the sinking
Confederacy and como within our
lines.
Either the powers that carry on the
war on the Federal side are sadly de-
ficient in tact, judgement and discrea
ton, Or the rebels fight best when in a
atarving condition with but the shadow
of a military organization. However,
we are told, with flourish of trump |
cts, as heretofore whenever new and
change of commanders has
been made, that Gen. Grant will re-
mcdy all defects, and wind up the war
with this campaign. We heartily
pray that these glowing anticipaions
may be realized. ! Statesman.
