This Impression upon the minds Of the
northern peopleis owing entirely to the ms
representation made BY the correspondents Of
conservative newspapers. They are ondeaV-
oring to make the world believe that Ten
nesse under Radical rule is q pundemonium
OF unbridled passions and lswlessness, where
every species Of crime is indulged in as .
pleasant Pastime, This is an open assault upon
Radicsllsm. In great many cases, these lying
calumniators are paid for their services out
Of the United States Treasury.
We are fortunate in having Mr.. Boknm at
a point, where these ISLANDERS are current,
and bis REPUTATION of them will have such
great weight, being favOrably known to tbs

Ehat will the Radicals do?

The Rebel aud Conservative journals are
asking this question with a shallow assump-
tion of exceeding gravity apd earnestneas,
since Gen. Grant, according t. Johnson's
misrepresentation, has shown himself a
falsifer, a faith breaker and an iusuborGi-
nate subordinate" We can answer this cues
ton. The Radicals will elect Gen. Grant
President. This is precisely what they will
DO. Not a srae man ia the Republican ranks,
but believes and knows that johnson has
most vil!iancusly lied in regard 70 the Stan
ton imbrogiio, and his impeachment Of Gen.
Grants honor and integrity, as a subordi-
date Official and a private individual, lie a
maliznan, and malicious calumniaiiou. No
Radical Republican places any reliance on
Jobnson'aboassty, or has the renoiesi idea
thst be is governed by q proper aPpre-
citation o. moral obligations 10 any ca
pacity, Official o. private. His treaehery,
and duplieity are the nos, patent and promi-
neat as we'll as the most shameful facts to be
found IN the snnaiI Of modern politics. Can

The Radical inquiry now is, why has a new
military divislon been formed, and another
General With headquarters At the Federal
capitol, appointed.
Still more important Ia the movement In re-
eued 10 Gen. Sherman. The movement is
iIhely TO prove embarrassing to the President
and create considerable excitement when the
facts are known. The President evidently
has been striking in the,dark in the matter
as a telegram received to-day from General
Sherman, now in St. Louis, by his brother
the Senator, shows anything el9e than appre-
citation Of the high compliment paid him.
The General condemns the nomination as
one which should never have been made, and
being made, should never be confirmed. He
does not stop there. His Indignation reach
es such a pitch, he telegraphs his brother N'
determination to resign at once, Senate
| sherman replied to the General begging hin
not to resign, and sent a note to the Militar!
Committee requesting, in the name OF th'
General, that the nomination be not couhrm
ed. Sherman, in his dispatch, ventures 4
protest against being called to Washington
TO make it his headquarters. Sherman's dis
patches relieved the Radicals of much o
their apprehensjons, and they are %jubilian
tonight over the turn that things are like!
tota Ike. They claim Grant and Sherman ar
warm friends, and the purpose Of the Presi
dent is TO ALLEVIATE them.
