TENNESSEE POLITICS.

The Republican Banner (Nashville) flies the
flag of Universal Amnesty and Impartial Suf-
frage. We rejoice to chronicle the fact. 1t
recalls the good old days when we were proud
to do battle in the same ranks with that able
Wing journal We would like to bury in OBJ
liyion the dark and bloody intervening years,
and hope to be able in time 10 do so. Let us
state frankly and candidly why We cannot just
yet:
The rival candidates for Governor of Ten
ncssee are both personally known to us, but
Mr.. Etheridge far better than Mr.. BrOwnlOw.
They were both slave-holding Wings of other
days, and both Unionsts in the hour of supreme
trial With grateful recollection of Mr.. Ethe-
ridges courageous and hearty opposition to
the passage of the Nebraska BILL we proposed
and pressed his choice as Clerk of the House
in 1861, when we presume neither he nor any
of his intimate friends had dreamed that his
name would be presented. He was elected.
and served through the memorable XXXV1lth
Congress-we believe, to his own advantage
and satisfaction.
What, meantime, Transformed Mr.. Etheridge
into very bitter Copperhead so that he did
his best to throw the organization of the
next House into the hands of the Opposition,
and received therefor their votes for reelec-
tion, we have not been able clearly to make
out but we never heard any other reason as
signed for it, and can imagine none, but
envenOmed hate of the Emancipation policy.
And, whatever may be the cause, the fact is
undoubted. Mr. Etheridge turned against the
great party that was struggling to save the
life of the Republic, and has since been its I'M
placable adversary. And he dhough never a
Secessi0nisD is to-day the candidate for Gov
ernOr of every Tennesseean who deplores the
overthrow of the Rebellion.
Is he then, heartily for Impartial SuffIages
We can readily believe that, since the Blacks
of Tennessee have been enfTanchsed in spite
of them, he, with every anti-Republcan i'll the
State, is now eager that the Rebels should be
eniranchsed also In so far as Impartial Suf
frage tends to that result, we do not doubt
their sincerity. But when we consider how
they studily and steadily resisted Black En-
franchisement, with all that they have done to
keep the Blacks under foot, we dare not trust
them just yet Give them the upper hand,
and We fear that tley would trample on the
rights of c0lorcd men as ruthlessy, OStenta-
tously, as their brethren in Kentucky and
Maryland now do. Will The Banner show us
wherein we are wrong in this apprehension

THE UOOL THRIFT.
r0wers 7

The passage of the Wool Tariff by Congress
has been called remarkable legislation. Many
other interests claimed protection, and gen
eral bill had been introduced. But so many
enemies existed and were created, and the East
and West became so jealous of each other, that
the passage of the bill was foSnd impossible
at late hour, and as last resort the clauses
relating to wool and woOlens were introduced as
a separate bill, and passed. This left the iron,
as well as a variety Of other interests and in
dustiies, without the special protection which
they needed, for by reason of currency imitation,
of internal taxation at home, and the compe-
tition of cheap untaxed labor abroad they stand
an unequal chance with foreign enterprises.
Some Congressman say they only voted for
the wool tariff because.the woolmen elamored'
so loudly. There is no doubt that the wool
growers were well organized. Dr. Randall, as
President of the National WOol-GrOwers Ass0-
citation, led the way. Turbulent Western spirits
were quieted, and wool manufacturers were
made to see. Really, there was new light
Western free-tredsrs, Of the strctest sort
were made to labor for protection, because
they had flew thousand sheep. This good
management will furnish an example for others
one direction, it will be as effective in another
After all, this special legislation seems to
promise good results. Notwithstanding an in.
creased duty on foreign wool, woolen goods
are no higher than before and, although it is
supposed the tariff was anticipated, they are
no higher than they were year ago. Our
farmers are 50 rich that they constantly fold
large quantities of wool. 1t js not likely that
woolens will he any dearer hereafter. This
fact is instructive. The tariff encourages every
branch Of the wool business. IT lps become a
fixed fact that wool will not sink below Ger
tain sum. Should it be proposed to repeal
these duties, that camOr will arise doubly
loud. Sheep-owners know what to depend
upon.
What next' Sheep viii increase fast; in the
same proportion, the wealth of the country will
increase. Thousands of acres of prairie grass,
which before grew and died UNTOUCHED, will
be eaten close. The corn which would be cent
to Europe to pay for wool or wooden fsbtes
viii be fed to sheep; wool viii be raised 8t
home, the soil will be epnehbd, and there will
be vast saving In frsishts apd commissions.

busllel of corn, weighing SO pounds Will be
transformed into one pound of wool worth
more money. At the same time, the labor be-
slowed on the extra amount OF corn required
to buy wool abroad, will be transferred to the
taking care of sheep, and to the building OF
manufactures for working up wool. Nhen
built, there will be new employment partIcu-
larly TO young persons, and our youth VIII en-
gage in more varied industry.
Instead of wooden fabrics being dearer
relatively, they viii be cheaper, because wlth
ample employment, they can be more easily
bought. When we fix point below when
wool will not be sold, we not only give the
wool business great encouragement, put give
life 70 many other industries. We cease 10

few wants; instead. we give it to ciyilized
laborers with many wants. All our other IN
dustries can be made to prosper in the same
way. England, in pursuing this course, LAID

All which, you see, proves that the

thoroughly horse-whipped for their utter base

The funny fellows assertion that Mr. Dana

might multiply questions, but we wish only
to impress upon boating men that, before
they can challenge the superiority of the En-
glish clubs, they must consent to adopt such
methods as experience has proved to be best.
When they have done that, there will remain
quite difficulties enough to conquer. The dis
parity of age and weight will not prove easy
to overcome. The average weight of the
Oxford crew this year was 160 pounds, of
Cambridge England 1Gi pounds while Har
ward in 1866 counts up but 156, and Yale
only 154 pounds. OF course such boats as
are pulled on Lake Quinsgamond would
be quite unequal to the weight of an English
crew, but that is only an argument for having
better boats. Then the Englishmen are at
least two OF three years older than the Ameri-
cans and contest between Harvard and the
schoolboys of Eton would be more nearly equal
than between Harvard and Oxford or Cam
bridge. These are matters which it is worth
while to consider and we renew our suggestion
that Yale and Harvard should send over one
or two of their best men to England to see
and study for themselves the great races which
occur yearly on the Thames, and often in every
year upon the Isis and the Cam.

A dispatch of yesterday from Washington

dispatch of yesterday from Washington
says:
Leading Republicans telegaphing here from diff
feren sections Of the North their population Of Thad
Stevens's cOnfscation doctrine"
We do not see why "leading Republicans
should put themselves to that trouble. Able
and eminent as Mr.. Stevens is, his COnfscatiOn
speech awoke no single echo in Congress. And
his recent letter serves only to render more
palpable the truth that Henry Wilson, in his
speeches at the South, utters the sentiments Of
at least nine-tenths of the Republican party.
In a single contingency only, do Mr.. Stevenss
peculiar views threaten TO assume importance.
Should the Democratic minority in the present
Congress serve his ends as thoroughly as they
did in the last, he may be able somewhat to
impede the admission of Members from the
States soon to be reconstructed. Thus the con-
diiOns of restoration were rendered far more
onerOus TO the ex-Rebels than a majority Of
the Republicans desired and prescribed. We
have strong hope that this little game" Of
the two extremes will not be repeated.
New-York tribune., 1867-04-30

We observe a statement in sundry Demo
cratic papers to the effect that Henry Ward
Beecher ran "hundreds of votes behind his
ticket. 1t is only just to say that this is en-
tirely untrue. Mr.. Beecher received many more
votes than the Republican State ticket in his
district aud the only foundation for the oppo-
site statement is that Judge Reynolds, who was
associated with him on the local ticket ran
about so votes ahead, owing to his popularity
among Democratic lawyers. Mr.. Beecher's
name drew out hundreds of Republicans who
would otherwise not have voted at all, and
the Democratic majority was reduced from 1,SOO
last Fall to 800 now.

1t is reported that the Peace Conference which
is to assemble in London on the 18th of May
will consist of the representatives of France,
Prussia, England, Austria, and Russia, and of
the King of Holland, as Grandduke of Luxem-
burg. Italy, which has now over 4,0OO0OO of
Inhabitants and which on other occasions
has been treated as one of the great Powers,
is not mentioned among the Powers which will
be represented in London. The basis for the
deliberations of the Conference is said to pro-
vide that the present boundaries of France shall
not be enlarged, and that the Notifications of
Luxemburg shall be evacuated or dismantled.
The Conference is to decide upon the future
status of the Grand Duchy, and to guarantee
this decision. If the dispatch is correct the
Grand Duclly is permanently lost for France
but not vet for Germany.

Gov. Walker of Florida has delivered a
speech to the colored people of Tallahassee, in
which occurs an abundance of counsel and no
congratulations. The freedmen have to thank
him for rather patronizng hope that they
will not in the course of time, be ex-
tinguished, and very anxious hope
that in the meanwhile they will not
fail to cOnciliatc the white people.
On the other hand the Governor has no appa-
rent disposition to ask the white people to con-
ciliate their colored fellow citizens. 1t may
have been partly in consequence of this that
his cOlored hearers passed a series of resolu-
tiOns afiiliating themselves with the Radical

The Rochester Democrat appears to be con-
Quoted by some one who says he was formerly
employed on THE TRIBUNE but who, if So must
be the victim of some unfortunate habit which
impairs his vision or his memory. In late
issue, he says:
"Mr Greeley, az he himself admitted in the article Of
July 25, was mainly responsible for urging the rash adj
vance upon Manassas"
Mr.. Greeley never saw the Forward to
Richmond" matter till after it was printed in
The TRIBUNE; but he has at all times main
tanned that what was therein recommended was
exactly what should have been done. (See
Ameriedn Conflict, Vol. l., p. 47-50) "The
rash advance upon Manassas" With two-ffths
cur forces, leaving the rest idle and useless in
Washington, near Harper's Ferry, at Fortress
Monroe &c, while those twe-aftRs were over
whelmed by a concentration Of all the
Rebels from Richmond on the one hand to
Winchester on the other, was not THE TRIB-
UNES strategy, nor that of any one connected
with this journal. Is it not high time that o
fabrication so gross and baselsss as this about
The TRIBUNE's melting the idiOtic folly Of
Manassas should be quietly abandOnedf The
falsehood has served its end, beyond the most
sanguine hopes of its original propagatOrs. Do
YOU fancy it can run foYever7
Whoever will read our article Of July p5,
1851, will see that its tenor Is the exact OPPOSITE
of that assertedsby The Democrat and in per-
feet accord with the above statement.
