A SPECIAL dispatch to the Cincin-
natl Gazette, says that a leading Re-
publican member of Congress, hereto
fore opposed to impeachment, called
on STANBERRY and Secretary McCUL-
LocH, and plainly told them that
they and the President had been
putting obstacles in the way of the
execution of the laws all along, and if
that course was continued, the first
business of Congress at the next ses-
sion would be impeachment, and the
thing would be brought about. Both
gave assurances that they would favor
a faithful execution of the laws, and
especially of the Reconstruction law.
Mr.. STANBERRY said the President
was in great fear of impeachment,
and said, moreover, that he had made
up his mind at the expiration of
his term to go to Tennessee and Of
fer himself as a candidate for United
States Senator.
ANOTHER fact connected with Gen
eral GRANTS evidence before the
Congressional Committee has leaked

he had been personally urged by the
President to accompany the party.

The CO0lie TraLA.

The old shareholders are unwilling
to reconcile themselves to the chang
ed system of labor brought about by
the war. 1t has been noticed from
the dispatches that a movement is on
foot in the Southern States to intro
duce coolies, under the plea of the
scarcity of labor. AS is justly stated
by the Chicago Tribune, the South is
not suffering for the want Of labor.
There is an abundance of labor, but
there is a lack Of capital to make that
labor productive. There is a spirit of
doggedness in the late Shareholders,
which finds a natural expression in
hatred of the negroes they a no
longer own. This spirit seeks to
avenge emancipation by a refusal to
employ negro labor. 1t also seeks to
defy the judgment which the world
has recorded against slavery, by re-
sorting to that form of human bond
age which is the nearest approach to
the system which has just been abol-
ished.
The people of the United States
have abolished slavery in all possible
forms. 1t can no more be tolerated
under the name of coolie trade than
under any other name. The people
have declared that henceforth all men
in the United States shall be free, and
be invested with an equality of civil
rights. The coolie trade is a system
of supposed voluntary slavery, but it
is not the less slavery, and the con-
tracts under which these unfortunates
may be introduced in this country
will be repudiated by the courts and
by the people as violative of the spirit
and intention of the constitutional
guarantees of personal freedom. We
think the time has come when the
traffic in coolies should, like that in
slaves, be outlawed by civilized ma
tons as piracy.

THE n. Y. Tribune calls the Union
Republican General Committee of
that city-which put General GRANT
in nomination not long since, as the
candidate of the Republican party for
President : soup society. The
Society differs from most other SINH
lar organizations, the Tribune says, in
that it asks for soup instead of giving
it away. 1t thinks every member is
presenting his ladle to General GRANT
in an attitude of eagerness and hun
ger, which is piteous to behold.
Seriously, it believes this premature
nomination of General GRANT is in
the interest Of the Democracy. 1t
afirms that since LEE resigned at
Appomatox Court House. the General
has received n 0 such attack as this.
The truth is, Nh. GREELEY and Mr..
WEED hate each other with such Bit
terness and vindictivepess, that we
doubt whether any candidate a re-
ceive their united support. CHAM
pioned by Mr.. WEED, any candidate
could not depend on Mr.. GREELEY's
supporting him with any spirit or en-
thusiasm. On the other hand, should
Mr.. GREELEY be taken into his coun-
ellis, a candidate could safely counton
Mr.. WEEDS opposition-indirectly, II
not directly. Thus it will be seen
that General GRANT is between two
fires, SO far as the State Of New York
is concerned. Nothing will a ' him
except his well known r~eticence.

The Election i'm Tennessee.

The election in Tennessee takes
place tomorrow. The contest has
been one of the warmest in the his
tory of the State, and not unattended
with bloodshed, The old passions
awakened by the war of rebellion,
which in Tennessee were heightened
by home feuds and internal dissen-
sions, have been kindled anew in
this canvass, which has been marked
with SO much of animosity, and some
times eff bloodshed. 1t is the contest
of the battlefield transferred to the
forum and the ballot-box. The
Union and Rebel parties are arrayed
against each other just as they were
during the war. The contest would
be decided in favor of the rebels were
it not that the Union party have re
sorted to the same tactics which they
used successfully in the war. They
have clothed the negroes with the
full privileges of citizens, as they
clothed them with the uniform of the
Government, and called them again to
their aid. If the Union party Of
Tennessee is tomorrow saved from
the defeat which has come upon the
loyal men of Kentucky and Mary
land, it will only be on account of the
aid given them by the negroes. The
election will be looked upon with
much interest by all parties, from the
fact that it is the first State election
in which the colored men have exer-
cised the elective franchise, and will
be regarded as some indication Of
their political affiliations in the other
Southern States. The Radicals p"
of Tennessee confidently rely upon
the support Of the large majority of
the negro voters, and expect to elect
thei1 ticket triumphantly. The Coz
servatives +" = have been making an ac-
tive canvass, and are hoping for suc-
cess, but with not so much confidence
as their opponents.
Besides members of Congress from
the eight Congressional Districts,
there will be chosen a Governor and
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The Republicans have nominated for
Governor, w. G. BRowNLOw, and for
Superintendent, JOHN EATON, Jr.
The rebels have nominated for Gov
- I.-0x- II r
Superintendent, CHARLES S. CAME
RON, formerly a Chicago copperhead.
The Congressional candidates are as
follows:
