Presidential Pa rties-The IL IN cock Move
ment and tts Tendencies.
From Ghe ~ Y. Herald.
In revolutionary times all the plans and
combinations of parties and politicians are as
liable to be changed by passing events as is
the grouping of its various colored bits OF
broken glass by single shake of the kaleido-
scope. Thus, for an illustration, we see that
the nomination of General Hancock for the
next Presidency on the Washington platform,
by the independent National Johnson Conven-
tion in the White House, has wrought such
wonderful change among all the political
elements of the country in their relations
towards each other, that we can hardly enter
tain doubt that it furnishes the true pattern
of the coming Presidential contest.
In the first place. we have, in this White
House nomination, the withdrawal of Mr..
Johnson in favor of General Hancock. This is
a shrewd move of Mr.. Johnson. He says to the
hopeful Democracy, "YOu have, since the
death of my true friend John Van Buren,,
turned your backs upon me, as you did upon
honest John Tyler. You are casting about
among your old Copperhe0d leaders for Pre-
sidential candidate-among the SeymOurs,
the Pendletons, the Vallandghams, and
others of your old Chicago failures of that
stripe. These men have no faith in me, John
son, and l. Johnson, have none in them.
propose you a compromise on General Han
cOok-a splendid soldier, gentleman and
scholar and statesman withal, who pos
sesses more of the sterling qualities of George
Washington than any man in the land of the
living. What do you say ?" The masses
of the Democracy respond, "Han-
cock is the ticket. Hancock is
good. We will rally under the standard of
Hancock" But the old hidebound Copper
head leaders of the Democracy are thrown
upon their beam ends. "Are we," they ask,
''to be ruled by this man JohDsonY Is he,
after all, to dictate our nominations? Are we
to play second fiddle to Johnson2" They are
puzzled and chapfallen. The sceptre ID taken
from their hands. Mr.. Johnson, with all his
laundering and all his fOolishness in his mani
pulatiOns of the Democracy, has hit the nail
upon the head in his ultmatum of Hancock,
and has shown himself, at least on the main
issue, to be a wiser man than John Tyler,
though not quite up to Tyler in other things.
But the Republican radical managers are as
sorely perplexed as the Copperhead chiefs with
this JohnsOnian bOmbshell. II is a shrewd
prescription. II goes TO their bones like the

DAT ROR THR EVENING TELEGRAPH.



FFom ne ~ Y. World
The radical presses have not yet recovered
slrom the results of the fall elections. The
most of them attribute the causes therefor to
the apathy in the ranks OF their partisans,
while some. like the Times, Commercial Ad-
vertiser, Springfield (Mass.) Republican, and
others that might be mentioned, charge the
rnisfortunes of their party upon the policy
pursued by those whom they are fond of call
ing extreme radicals, just as il all of them
were not bitter radicals. In the latter cate
cory is the Nation, of this city, which,
though started and published in the interest
of extreme radioalism, assigns to the course
pursued by certain Republicans in Congress
the recent defeats of the Republican party.
From its partisan stand point the views it pre-
sents are oommendable. Yet like all its po-
litiCal confr6reS, it takes the most selfoom-
placent view of the matter. That the radi-
Gals have made mistakes in so far as they
have attempted to force upon the country
policy peculiarly their own, regardless of the
opinions of the people at large, doubtless is
rue; but this is not all. All attempted ex-
plantations of the recent Democratic victories
are lamentably incomplete that do not take
into account the increased intelligence of our
voting population. During the war, the ex-
ClJ6u6Ib W bSOuIS NlCJOIy lOE Lu6 ndJlOndl
arms 80 carried away large number OF voters
that they overlooked the means employed
upon being assured that the end in view
was such as they could approve of-always
poor policy, to be sure, but, perhaps, excusa-
BILE under the circumstances. The war ended,
they were more cautious. Hence the result Of
the elections in 1867. Freedom of speech and
of the press was stifed, in a measure, during
the war. To-day it Is unrestricted. And when
the men who are no longer restrained from
hearing and reading sound Democratic doc
trines 60 to the polls to vote, the result is a
triumph for the Democratic party. 1t is, OF
course, very self-satisiy ing for the radicals to
point out their own mistakes after they have
been beaten at several State elections, but they
will shoot very wide of the mark If they omit
from their calculations a very important ele-
ment, to wit, the increased intelligence of
voters. 1t is to this that the gratifying results
of the elections of 1867 are due.

FINANCE AND TRADE.

There is but little activity in the money
market, and our. banks are discounting
even less than usual, owing to the fact, we
suppose, that they are preparing to make
their quarterly statements on the first Mon
day in next month. A few good bills are
discounted at one per cent. per month,
while loans, on good collaterals, such "a
United States bonds, gold, etc, are made at
3 per cent. per annum. Money on the
street continues to command an exorbitant
rate, and those who are forced to borrow in
this manner have to submit to a shave of 8
to 5 per cent per month.
Our banks continue to furnish their GUS
toners exchange on New York at the low
rate of 81 per thousand. Exchange on
London and Dublin is sold BY brokers at
81 30 per pound sterling.
Gold during the week has had rather a
downward tendency. On last Wednesday
it opened at 144S, and on yesterday il
opened at l42i and closed at 143. There
Is some little demand for gold here by spec
ulators, and brokers buy at about J cent
less than the New York rate, and ask } cent
over. Silver is worth about 10 cents less
than gold.
Theae is but little demand for govern
ment bonds in this market at present, most
persons seeming to prefer investing their
surplus funds in gold The following are

PROCLAMATION By THE MAYOR.

To salty and quiet the public mind up
on the subject Of the approaching election,
feel it my duty to declare that the regular
charter election of the city of Nashville
will be held on Saturday next, unless pre-.
vented by the military power of the United
Stafes. 1t is my duty, as Mayor of the CITY.
to see that the laws be faithfully executed ::
and we shall hardly be deferred from the
performance of that duty by any force of
mere militia, with which our good and ouiet
citizens are threatened. These men know
mat II they only sought their lawful rights,
There would be nothing to prevent their
holding a separate election, and seeking, in
time of profound peace, to establish their
rights by legal means. IT. instead of this,
under the pretense Of enforcing the provi-
sions Of the franchise law by a murderous
assault on our citizens or Judges, it is my
duty to see that these citizens and Judges
are protected. There is no color of law
to justify the threatened interference. and
it shall not be permitted, if any means in
my power can prevent it. 1t is not the
purpose of the corporate authorities to in
teriere with any class Of citizens in the
peaceful exercise Of their rights in their
own way least Of all, is it their purpose to
resort to violence to prevent a free exer-
else of choice by any and all such mode |
and under such view Of the laws as they
may adopt. Let the courts, the only
proper arbiters, decide in the end if we
are wrong, and we will bow TO their de-
cisiOn; but we will not be deferred from /
the free exercise of our rights by any
power on earth, except that of The United
States. w. MATT BRowE, Mayor.

GENERAL MARKE Els.

NASHVILLE, Sept. PIP. NJ.
The markets for the past week have ex-
hibited unusual activity. The large mum.
Der of merchants and tradesmen invited
here to attend the Merchants Festival gave
an impulse to trade, and opened up to our
merchants a new and rich field which had
heretofore traded at Memphis or Louis,
vile. The cotton market has been without
any excitement, as the stock on hand is not
sufficient to induce large purchasers to
come to our market. The wholesale dry
goods trade has been extremely active. The
market for bacon has not. been so firm as
the early part of last week, though it may
be considered firm at our figures Wheat
has ruled higher the past week than at any
time this season, and -four has adapted it
self to the fluctuations of wheat. Corn is
much stronger than last week, and the sup
ply and demand are about equal. The de-
mand for corn il mainly for home con-
sumption.
CoTToN.-The receipts for to-day have
been 80 bsAes, and shipments have been Al;
3 bales were sold at lSc.and 3 at 84c.

THE RETIRING STREET COMMITTEE
We give in our report of the City Council
proceedings an abstract Of the exhibit Of
Mr.. Geo. S. Kinney, for two years past, the
enterprising and indefatigable chairman Of
the Committee on Streets and Public I'm
provements. The labor Of Mr.. Kinney and
his colleagues has been extensive, and has
left an impression on the city that rebounds
greatly TO their credit. The administration
of this portion of the city interests has met
with more than the usual share of carping
and criticism, bat We have no doubt that
lime will approve its wisdom and public
spirit and that those who have assaulted
its management viii join in the general
praise of the committee that has given
Nashville the best and most scientifically
constructed streets, cutters and sewers that
were ever built in its limits; and that has
founded system of public improvements
from which their successors will be 10th to
depart, and which can be restricted or ex-
tended as the city's necessities and capaci-
ties may direct or justify.
