The Tennessee Election.

The election in Tennessee, on August st,
passed off without any unusual disturbance,
and resulted in Republican triumph. The
Republicans elected their whole delegation
to Congress, and made clean sweep of both
branches of the State Legislature. Gov
Brownlow has been re- elected by majority
of about $4,000. The Pittsburg CONNER
ciaI in referring to the result in Tennessee
says:
''The success of the Republican party
in Tennessee possesses lar more importance
than usually attaches to State election
The most interesting fact connected with
this election is that it was the first held
where the negroes participated equally with
the whites a change so great, and In a
State with so many turbulent elements as
Tennessee, would necessarily be attended
by excitement and some violence. But
| there has been less of this than was predict
ed-less by far than the opponents of free
suffrage and supporters of the old slave sys-
TEN intended there should be. 1t is even
stated that, in spite of the bloody prognos-
tications, the election was one of the quiet
est ever witnessed in the State. A crisis
has thus been passed, in view of which good
men everywhere felt no little uneasiness
Had riot and bloodshed been the order of
the day in Tennessee--had the opposition
succeeded in producing anarchy there. the
influence would have extended te every other
Southern State. and the future would have
had another cloud raised before it. Not
only for the order-loving qualities of the col
| ored population have we many reasons to be
thankful, but their devotion to the princi-
piles Of the Republican party, which never
| wavered. 1t is true, and we are lad it is
true, as a race they went not all that way:
some supported the Democratic candidates.
just as some of them had been on the side
of the rebellion. A great majority of the
colored men of Tennessee adhered firmly to
the cause that gave them freedom and suf-
trage; and, as a consequence, on the very
first trial of negro suffrage in the South, we
have one of the largest and most influential
Southern States rolling up a strong and re-
liable Republican majority The influence
on the South of such result will be imme-
diate and positive. 1t virtually defines what
will be the result in most, if not ALL the
other Southern States, and permanently
foreshadows the politics of the country for
years to come From this prospect Demo
crats are entitled to draw what consolation
they can. They have driven the negro into
the Republican ranks. and the penalty of
the treatment they gave him they may as
well make up their minds to bear for an in
definite period. )"

The County Convention.

Last week we published the call for a Re
publican County Convention, to be held at
Clearfeld, Oh Thursday, August 18th, 1867,
for the purpose of nominating county
ticket. 1t will be recollected that every
member of the party is entitled to seat in
said convention, and have voice and vote
in its deliberations. And, as the election
of Judge Williams to the Supreme Bench
by an overwhelming majority viii have a
favorable influence upon the next Presiden-
tial election it is incumbent upon the Re-
publican party of this county to nominate a
full ticket, so as to secure full vote for our
candidate for Supreme Judge, on the Sec
ond Tuesday of October next, and thus con-
tribute our mite to the grand triumph which
awaits our party in 1868. In view of these
facts we urge all to turn out to the Conven-
ton on the 18th, and nominate ticket
composed of men of unexceptional charac-
ter for honesty and business qualifications
for whom it will be an honor and pleasure
to vote-and who are fully qualified to dis
charge the duties of the important positions
for which they will be named. should they
be elected.

Plotting for a Panic.

The Copperhead organs of the country,
says the Harrisburg Telegraph, have been
plotting for the past four years to produce
a financial panic from the effects of which
they hoped to gain political power. George
Sharswood gave judicial force to this grand
scheme of fraud, when he decided against
the legality of national currency, and now
we have the Copperhead organs seeking to
impress the people that the principle on
which National Banks are organized and al
lowed to do business is one of fraud; that
the great majority of those banks are rotten
concerns, and that it is unwise and reckless
for the people to place deposits in, or rely
on the circulation of such institutions. The
object of all sach stories is to create a tinan-
cial panic So far as the security for the
circulation of National Banks is concerned
it is just to say that circulating medium
could not be based on a safer foundation
than is that of these banks. The United
States holds securities, dollar for dollar, for
all the circulation of these banks, so that if
any such institutions in the country were to
fail and close their doors, and at the same
time they had all their notes in circulation,
not single note holder would or could lose
& dollar. The Government has the means
deposited in its keeping by the directors of
such banks to redeem all their circulation.
Hence the folly of talking about the rotten
ness of these institutions. The object is
merely to get up financial panic, by which
it is hoped spectators may be able TO rob
ignorant people. 1t is one of the meanest
of the Copperhead tricks to defraud the la
boring man and mechanic. and as such we
denounce it. 1t may also be characterized
as equal to Judge Sharswood's attempt to
break down the currency of the country as
legal tender.

A Party of renegade Republicans, headed
by Joe Flanagan, of Philadelphia, and Nat
Sawyer, of Pittsburg, called on the Presi-
dent before he started for Tennessee, to
enlighten him in reference to Pennsylvania
politics. The main object of these adven-
turers was to impress the President with
the fact that they were out in the cold
and unless he could manage TO put them in
warm places the party would go to pieces
in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Henry Cogshall. of
Philadelphia, was of ''the party that cali
ed on the President After hearing the
complaints of these miserable renegades
from great organization, Mr. johnson was
evidently disguised with the petitioner as
he plainly told them he had no bone in his
kitchen to relieve their suffering. Repudi-
ated by the Copperheads, despised by the
Republicans, and treated with contempt by
the President, the leaders of the National
Union Conservative" of Pennsylvania,
Messrs. Flanagan, Sawyer and Cogshall,
present truely sorry plight for the con-
temptation Of their old friends. -7elegraph.

SLACKwATER NAvIGATIoN.-The Penn
sylvania Canal Company have recently made
q survey of the canaland river from Harris
burg to Huntington, with the view of adapt
ing the Juniata to Slackwater navigation.
The Lewistown Gazette thinks there is
nothing in the way to prevent this from be-
ing carried out. Such change would soon
create steam navigation, at least for light
draught boats. At comparatively small
expense, channel from 80 to 100 feet wide
and from two to three feet in depth, could
be made by removing few rocks and stones.

RUIN of JAMAICA The condition of Ja-
maica is the theme of private letter prin
ted in the Pail Mall Gazette, which gives a
sad picture of the continuous decline of
that once fourishing and wealthy Island.
The writer, who is an old resident, says he
never knew Jamaica in such a state of
dependency. None of the better classes
no educated person-would remain if they
could manage to get away. The country is
deeply in debt; no effort is made to develop
her resources, and taxation is largely ncreas-
ed. Regret is expressed that the colonists
no longer possess anything like self-gov
ernment. One of the parishes, that of
st. AIMS which in 1910 contained thirty
sugar estates, now has thirteen, and of these
several are on the point of abandonment.
Of fifty-three coffee estates, there are only
four remaining. There is no market for
horses, mules and cattle. The principal
crop, pimento, promises to perish ungath-

On the morning of the day when Mr. and

Mass, on their i'll fated journey to Mount
Desert, Mrs. G. was engaged in packing her
trunks when disabled soldier, with books
to sell, called at the door. She said to a
friend, Though am very busy it would be
selfish in me not to help the poor soldier
little" She bought of him child story
book, entitled Lost on the Seashore. and
laid it upon the parlor table as a gift for her
little child when they should meet again
When the child returned home last Friday
from her visit to neighboring town. there
was no mother there, but this little book
was handed to her as the last gift of that
mother. Bursting into tears She said. in
her simplicity, Mamma knew it, mamma
knew it. -
