sufficient returns have been received
~ snow that the Radical ticket has
syr4ot Tennessee high and dry, and that
Erownlow's majority will be anywhere
from thirty to forty thousand. Also,
taa, seven out of the eight Congress
men are Republicans, and probably
tnu-thirds of the Legislature. THIS last
result will secure a United States
Senator. Horace Maynard who bore
so much OF the brunt during the can
vas- has been reelected to Congress by
a heavy majority. We are especially
glad OF his success, for be was friend
to West Virginia in Congress in her
trying hour.
Speaking of the result OF the triumph
in Tennessee, the Cincinnati Gazette Of
last night, says:
Tennessee is the first State in which
tb,. experiment Ofmanhood suffrage mas
been tried, and II has proved success.
One OF the objections, on ths part OF
Union men, to putting the ballot IN Inc
hand, OF the freedmen, was that 1t
would be used as the late SHAREHOLDERS
would direct. This apprehension IS
shown to have been without direct
foundation. The negroes, who were
true TO Inc HdliOIdl 80
tin. rebellion. maintained their loyalty,
and bur TOR their votes yesterday, the
Union uarty would have been routed IN
Tennessee, and we should have had
the inauguration OF reign OF terror
that would have made the state too not
for IA loyal man to live IN. Inc future
viii pr0ve the wisdom OF giving the
ballot to the freedmen. This Is the sure
road to reconstruction, and for the puT-
nose of bringing back the states 10 their
fTtI.. relations to the National Govern
1nant, loyal ballots will be found more
efficient than bayOne!s.
The result in Tennessee foreshadowS
the result Of approaching elections III
other Southern States. tennessee SENDS
a delegation to Congress that will stand
the test Other States will do the same.
Thus, in short time We shall have re-
construction upon loyal basis, with
l0ynl representatives from al! the late
-et,.lIIous States. Where Is this loyal
man who will object to this necnuse 1t
Is the result oil manhood suffrage?
VIII II not THthcT be the cause of gene
M! rejoicing that the freedmen are the
instruments by which the states are to
b. redeemed from rebel control, re-
publican form of Government secured
10 ,i!.. people, and good order restored
Tngur-liUuably this will be the conclu-
sion.

tn. harvest Of Summer grain and OF
Laytu prove that the yield has been
large. nue, and safely gathered. The
fear II famine is removed, and the
prospect Of Il fall in price is well as
aured. These bring promise of easier
living for the poor, and so far lift away
the burden Of debt nnd taxation. The
abundant harvest, moreover, il one of
unc~t!mntrd value, and is splendid
evidence Of the immense resources of
the nation. The green fields are the
ultimate source OF all our greatness.

of the whole country is quickcned TO
more heHIthful life. already the cur
business shows fresh activity, and
merchants look hopefully to IA large
and prosperous fall trade.
The corn and the pGtnto crop are vet
nnharvtsted, but the summer sun has
oyerbornc the retarding influence Of the
wet .pring, and from all the States, we
hear the came story of good promise.
The corn is fully up TO its usual growth
at the beginning of August, and moth
ing but unexpected unfhvorable
weather can prevent an abundant
gathering.
GnASr, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas,
all the great heroes of the war, have
endorsed the Reconstruction policy OF
the people, an enacted by Congress.
President Johnson is left alone with
the men who denounced the war as ii
