AUGUST II. 1867.
Tennessee

The Republican majority in Tennessee is
not less than 10000. This is a glorious re-
suit for the country. Tennessee now has
State government; faction has been rebuked
and silenced, and the State will continue to
prosper. The white vote is said to be about
equally divided. Only about 1000 colored
votes in the entire State were cast against
the Republicans. It does not look like
white or black mans party, when half the
white vote of a-State, with nearly the entire
colored vote is thrown for the Republicans.
1t only proves what we bave all along said,
that the colored people know who their
friends are.
The disunion presses of Tennessee are
much distressed at the result, and dwell sor-
rowfully on the degradation" OF being gov
erned by the colored vote. This is but q
repetition of the fable of the fox and the
grapes. These disunionists made every eff
fort to obtain the colored vote, but failing
to do so, the grapes are sour" The color
ed people would be patriots, and highly
intelligent citizens" if they would only vote
with the enemies of the government, but when
they show their good sense and their appre-
citation of their own liberties by declining to
do so, they are at once denounced as degra-
ded ,barbarians." Very we'll, the colored
people can stand this if their enemies can.
1t is stated that Gov. Brownlow has said
he will recommend to the Legislature OF
Tennessee repeal of the test-oath What
the Governor said has no doubt been misun-
derstood. 1t is not his purpose yet to let In
thegreat body of the rebels as voters. But
the Tennessee test-oath is very stringent It
excluded at the late election not less than
10000 of as good Republicans as there
are in that State. His purpose is doubtless
to modify the oath so as to let these citizens
vote. We trust it will be done. The Ten
nessee test-oath is more severe and searching
then it probably should be. The best model
of test-oath we have yet seen is the oath
contained in the bill introduced by Mr.
Stevens, in December last, to provide civil
government for North Carolina. 1t is known
as the Stevens Pool test-oath.
1t will bel seen by the accounts we publish
to-day, that there were serious disturbances
occasioned by the rebels in West TENNESSEE
on the day of the election. But for the pres
ence of troops there would have been a gen
eral massacre of the Union whites and col
ored people. The same devilish feeling i.
encouraged in this State by the Sentinel and
other disunion papers.

The following from the last Charlotte
Democrat, will be good news to many of our
readers: ass ss
IMPORTANT TO FRUIT GRowERs-Two
petitions, signed by citizens of this county,
were addressed to Maj Gen. Sickles on the
18th and 10Th of July, (and recommended
by the Commandant of this Post, Capt H.
M. Lazelle, q. s. A. 9th Infantry,) urging
that, in view of the prospect of large sup
plies of Summer fruits in orchards and old
fields, their manufacture into wines, cider
and brandies may be permitted, as usual,
and thus enable fruit-growers to preserve
crops which would otherwise be wasted or
lost.
We are informed, by authority, that a re-
ply, dated the 9th July, 1867, favorable to
this request, has been received, and extends
to all citizens, who will be held responsible
for the observance of the Revenue Laws
provided to control such processes
So everybody that chooses may now make
apple and peach brandy, cider, wine, &C.,
but they must be careful not to use grain of
any sort"

We copy to-day and put on record, an ar
ticle from the Sentinel, in which that paper
defines its position in relation to reconstruc-
tion. tss
The Sentinel would "deplore, as great
calamity" the failure of the whites to regis
ter, but it takes no account of the color
ed people. All the false promises and hon.
led words of that paper having failed to in
fuence the colored people, the Sentinel yields
them in despair to the Republican party
This is fair and final confession on the
part of that paper that the colored vote will
be cast unanimously against the disunion
faction. '
The disunion organ has faint hopes that
the State will be reconstructed on the basis
of the Congressional enactments; but it
wants Constitution to suit the old clique
of seceders and ofice-holders in this State,
and gives notice that if the loyalists who
will control the Convention do not make
such Constitution, the disunion forces will
skill it at the polls. Well, suppose they
should kill it The Constitution will GER
tainly be Republican in character, thoroughly
imbued with the liberal spirit of the times.
1t will most probably be what the Sentinel
would call radical. 1t will go to the root of
things. It will pluck out from our soil the
last vestiges of secession and human slavery,
and will SO plant and water the tree of lib
erty as to ensure for it vigorous and per-
petual growth. The Sentinel and its parti-
zans will " kill it" if they can In the first
place, they can not I" kill it. D In the second
place. if they should, Congress will most
probably disregard their votes against it,
and accept it. And in the third place, if
the Constitution should be rejected, and the
State should fail to be restored under the
present acts, confscation sooald certainly fol-
lou Are the disunionists, under the lead of
the Sentinel and Gov. Worth, determined to
complete the ruin of this people? .ia

GENERAL GRANT AND THE PRESIDENT.
General Grant has been in constant consulta-
ton with the President for several hours,
both yesterday and to-day. It is said that
grave controversy has been INDUCED in
General Grant is reported to have expressed
the opinion that the President would over
step his power in removing General Sheridan
under the recent act Of Congress This
opinionis based upon thosough examina-
ton of the whole subject made by Major
General John A. Rawlings, chief Of staff,
and an able constitutional lawyer, and Chief
Justice Chase. Under the influence of Gen
eral Grants reasoning on this point, the
President delays his order removing Sheri-
dan and appointing Hancock to succeed
him. The affair viii probably remain IN
statu quo until the return Of Attorney Geiier-
al Stanbery. These reports create much talk
here, and fears Of collision between Grant
and the President are visible Warrington

RALEIGH, N. c., WEDNESDAY,,

grasping each other with the hand of friend
ship, and the East and the West embracing
one another; when the sword has been turn
ed into the ploughshare and the sabre into
the sickle; when merchants throughout the
whole country are shipping heavy cargoes of
merchandise into the interior and sending
back vast quantities Of barter to pay for
them; when thousands of bushels of grain
are being sent over the road to supply the
wants of our suffering people in less favored
localities; when enterprise and capital from
the North, q way having been opened, are
penetrating our mountain fastnesses and
bringing to light the mineral wealth thereof;
when large quantities of costly machinery
are being transported over the road, which
but for Mr. Caldwell's management would
not have been in condition to carry it; when
all these things coilspire to enable Col. Tate
to pay expenses and lay up something be-
sides, then pious Mr.. Pell rolls his eyes
Heavenwards, and with a holy unction ejac-
dlates, All praise, glory, honor, power and
dominion be ascribed, asismost justly due, to
Col. S. Med. Tate, President of the Western
North Carolina Rail Road," for he has paid
all expenses incurred during the gear, and
has made besides the immense sum of eight
thousand secen hundred and tirty-secen dol
lars and sisty-one cents! IF we have been
correctly informed this nett earning of the
road for the last twelve months amounts to
but little, if any more than what pious Mr..
Pell's particular friend and especial pet
made for himself in one little speculation
while on one of his business trips North as
President of the Road. We care nothing
for the sickening flattery which pious Mr..
Pell periodically lavishes upon his Con
federate Colonel. We think we understand
his motives, but we do feel indignant when
we see an unofending citizen wantonly as
sailed and slandered, only because he dares
to differ in political opinion with pious Mr.
Pell.
We are gratified at every forward step that
| is made in the great work of internal i'm
provements. The mountain regions OF this
State, most favored by nature, must be
opened and penetrated by railroads. This
newspaper has been devoted for twenty years
to this work and it is our purpose in fu-
ture to put forth every exertion, through this
journal and otherwise, to secure for the Wes-
tern people the advantages of railway COM
munication. The great Republican party
into whose hands the State IS soon to pass
permanently, may be relied upon to do every
thing that can or should be done in the way
of internal Improvements. 1t is the party
of railroads, churches and school-houses
and under its benefcent auspices the Wes-
tern portion of North Carolina will bios
som like the rose"

RENovAL.-Block & Newburger Brothers
have removed their factory to the old ma
sonic hall, directly opposite their dry goods
store. They now have much nicer place,
with more light, and room enough for eight
cen to twenty looms, which number they ex.
pect to be running before fall. They have a
new pattern machine on the way, which will
enable them to get out a greater variety and
nicer styles, both in carpets and coverlets.-
They seem fully determined to bring this
new enterprise of theirs up to the highest
point of perfection and to make it, in the
course of time, second to none in the coun.
try. We would also mention new style Of
cottage carpets they are just getting out, in
new, bright colors, which is really beautiful
for that class of goods. Their rates are now
as follows: Two-ply Ingrains $l,2O Cot
tage Carpets Csc, 75c and soc; Coverlets
$3.50, $50 and 500. These prices are sc
far below those of eastern goods brought to
this market, that it is quite pecuniary adj
vantage to those who are patriotic enough
to encourage home manufactures"
