Under Two Flags. 3 IiI
This mornings Bulletin contains q
card from Admiral Semmes, announcing
his withdrawal from that journal. He
furnishes no reasons for his action, and
the wording of the card indicates that the
position has been rendered too unpleas-
ant for longer occupation. In journal
istic circles the probability of an early
change, not only in the editorship but
the political conduct Of the Bulletin
has for some time beep discussed, and
the report was generally circulated yes
terday. 1t seems to he generally believed
in certain quarters that for some time
the controlling powers of the Bulletin
have been preparing to turn that paper
into Radical paths. Prior to the conolu-
sion of the war it was intensely Radical (;
and although the names of Southern men
have been kept at the masthead since,
nobody in newspaper circles believed
this other thaa flank movement to
retain Southern patronage. 1t is gem
orally understood among newspaper men
although it may be mistake-that Mr..
Bingham has never reliuquished control
of the Bulletin, and Mr.. Bingham was
radical when radicalism paid, even to the
point Of bullying Southern people when
they could not help themselves. He
was especially severe on rebels"
Some go so far as to assert that Mr..
Tomeny has the controlling interest in
the Radical organ that the paper will
soon pass into his hands; that the two
journals will ultimately unite, the Bul-
letin then to become the ultra Jaeobin
organ of Tennessee Such project
would succeed should Congress bear
down so heavily on all the South this
winter as to render it possible to again
bully the people by holding the military
in terrorum over them. All this may
be mistake and when Bingham was
frothing Radicalism he may have been
really Conservative; when ultra Conser-
vative he may have been really Radical.
Strategy, don't you see. A few days
will reveal the direction of the felines
gyrations. For some time we have en-
deavored to test circulation with the
Bulletin, but it failed to come to time.
We are not positive that in a week or
two we will not be willing to bet on six,
instead Of three to one.
