The Times says the elections indicate no
Increased confidence in the Democratic
party, but simply reaction against ex-
IRENE acts and measures of the Republican
party, and convey an admonition which
ought TO be salutary to political leaders.
The Herald says the recent elections do
not denote Democratic victories, but that
the Republican element of the country has
stepped aside to rebuke its leaders.
The Journal Of Commerce says If the
returns from Ohio can be relied upon, the
reaction against negro suffrage ia even
more determined than was expected. II
will be vsry difficult for any faction to Sc
cure favor Tor years to come while indoors.
ing this measure.
The Commercial Advertiser says: The
muddle between Congress and the Presi-
dent is the occasion Of the military recon-
struction act, under which they expect TO
bring those back under negro supremacy,
and this is precisely the question on which,
after full argument, Ohio has rendered a
verdict which ends Chief Justice Chase's
aspirations for the Presidency, and termi-
mates Ben. Wade's Senatorial career.
The Post has nothing editorially on the
subject of the elections
The Express says the elections mean the
restoration of the Democratic party to
power, and declare against the whole Cons
gressional reconstruction system of the
Radicals and their paper money manage
ment There never was as meaning an
election as that in Ohio.
Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1867-10-12
CHASE AND WADE.

The Democratic triumph in Ohio sends
old Ben Wane to the limbo of things lost
to earth, and eiectually snuffs out the
last hope Of Chase for the Presidency
The latter is now political mummy,
swathedin his judicial robes. No COM
bination of circumstances can induce the
Radical Convention next year to select
candidate from Ohio lie, Chief Justice
as he is, made pilgrimage to his home
to vote and make a speech to prop his
falling fortunes, but he is gone, and no
more mention need be made Of him as a
Presidential aspirant 1t is a great boon
to the nation to be rid of these two men
in its politics; aud this admonition from
the people may eliminate the partisan
ship which stains the character of the
Judge and wholesomely temper his Off
cial course on the Supreme bench.

AcTINo UNDER ORprRs-IwroRrANr
DrcIsIoN.-The Knoxville Free Press
of the 9th says Of the case Of Foster
Whitesides, pending in the Supreme
Court at Knoxville
1t has excited much interest. White
sides was a Confederate soldier. Acting
under the orders of his superior officer, he
participated-at least such was the charge
in the burning Of house in Greene
county, during the war. He was indicted
in the Circuit Court of Greene county, was
;ried by said court and convicted, and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for twenty years.
A new trial was granted, and upon a sec
ond trial he was convicted and sentenced
for fifteen years, from which judgment he
appealed in error to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court yesterday rendered
an elaborate opinion in the case. The
Judgment below was reversed and abso-
lntely arrested, and the defendant dis
charged. Mr.. Whitesides is the son of the
