More Troops.

The Nashville Union and american

every quarter Of the compass comes the
cry for troops, more trosps, Mississippi
alone is excepted. For Mississippi Gen.
Gillem wants no more troops, and has
even had no use for those be has. Mis-
sissippi is unreconstructed. That is
what is the matter. Grant calls for
troops for the plains and the Southern
States, Sherman wants troops for the
Indians, Davis troops for Alaska, Ord
for Arizona, Thomas for the department
of the Cumberland, Meade for the second
and third military districts, and Reynolds
for Texas. All but Gillem want more
troops. Scho6eld wants more power,

Tate and West stand ready to buy or
lease the Nashville and Northwestern
road with which they propose to connect
the Mississippi Central, and seek access
to the east through Louisville. They
then propose to buy the Mississippi and
Tennessee northumberland and less
valuable because it has no through con-
nections. Owning the Mississippi and
Tennessee road, or controlling it, they
would make it profitable to themselves
and this city, by its extension to Padu-
cab. Mitchell & Co. will begin at Mem
phis and end at Padncah. They will
control no lines beyond the Ohio. If q
road to Vincennes, from Paducah, we're
built, it would be managed as part of the
shortest line from Columbus, Ohio, and
the East, to New Orleans, and Tate 4
Co. would hold this short line, what
would Mitchell's road or stock be worth,
and what becomes of the city's msgnii-
cent interest in the Mississippi and Ten
nessee Road. The Board Of Aldermen
should make some fair arrangement with
Tate 4 Co., if practicable to do SO, on
reasonable terms.

Now, in view of an issue of violent
overthrow Of the laws by an executive
elected by those who Wee lately in open
rebellion, and who still glory in it, what
can any sane citizen do out address him
self directly to the facts His first duty
is to show that this ISSUE Is the rebellion
under a new lace that the democratic
talk about taxation is merely an appeal
TO one of the most sensitive public feel
ing3 as a means OF obtaining power, not
Tor the purpose of diminishing taxes by
increasing production, and 50 making
paymen: easy, but by rcpudiating them
altoge'her and running the national cred
ii. His duty is to show, further, that
this power is sought not TO pacity the
country, but To restore the late rebels TO
the control of the southern states, and to
disable The loyal population there. In a
word, it is his most urgent duty to show
that the whole democratic policy is to
undo, as far as possible, everything that
the war has done, and to restore the in
tolerable situation of affairs before the
war began.
And this is what the republican party,
by its orators and papers, is everywhere
showing. They state incontrovertibly
that we must first determine whether the
reconstruction derreed hv those who won

The Chicago Times WAS such a vio-
lent rebel sheet during the war that at
one time 1t was suppressed by military
order. Judging from the following in
regard to our state election, We should
think it was not suppressed long enough
The black-and-tans are cackling over
the Vermont election. 1t l. 81 long since
they have h&d anything TO cheer them
that even to democrats it i really pleas
ant to see a shortening of their visages,
and temporary disappearance of the
undertaken expression of countenance
which all of them have lately worn.
SO little has been thought about the
Vermont election, and 80 little signiti-
canoe has been attached TO it, that hard
ly an allusion has been made TO the sub
Ject 10y the press of either party. 1t is "a
state IN which mir er on the brain has
ragged SO tcartully that no one would have
been surprised ii every voter in the state
had been smltten with that terrible dis
ease. Douglas had the right idea of
Vermont when he said: 1T is GOOD
state to be born in, provided you emil
crate early"
1t is said to be dirty bird that fouls
its own nest. The editor of the Times
