ments along the royal road to Cuzco. The
eastern series is called the C0Tdillerd real,
because along its flank are the remains Of
the splendid highway which once con-
nected Quito and the Peruvien capital. 1t
can also boast of such tremendous volca-
noes as Cotopaxi and Sangai. The west
ern Coraillera contains but six volcanoes,
only one Of which is active; but then it
can point to peerless Chimborazo, and the
deep crater of Pichincha. These Is vol
canic mountains rise within space only
200 miles long and IL miles wide. 1t
makes one tremble to think of the awful
crevice over which they are placed.
Here, amid these Plutonic peaks, are
the energies OF volcanic action best stud
led. The constancy of the volcanic fires
is a striking fact First we have the
deluges of submarine lavas which were
poured out long before the Andes lifted
their heads above the waters then, alter
nate porphyritic strata, felspathic streams
and gypseous exhalations then, at later
day, foods Of basaltic lava; next, the old
tertiary eruptions and lastly, the vast ac-
foundations Of boulders, gravel, ashes,
pumice and mud Of the present day. spread
over the Valley of Quito and the west
slope of the Cordillera, to an unknown
depth beneath the sea. The incessant
eruptions of Sangai, and the frequent
earthquakes, show that the subterranean
energy which heaved the Andes is not
yet expended

what we Need in tennessee.

In ell the long and fierce campaign
from which we have just emerged IN
defeat, though proud of the cause we have
been compelled to surrender, ard proud
of a local triumph in the election of an
honest gentleman to be our true repre-
sentative in Congress, we have felt and
said that the election of Seymour and
Blair was not half so important to us
here as reform of the government in
Tennessee. Kentucky does not feel de-
feat as we do, and it may be abe has not
the fortitude to bear it as we shall But
a good and honest local government is
our first want and indispensable neces'
city. Grant has said, "let us have
peace" If in this be makes good his
words, we shall have q desideratBm
which renders his election blessing to
ms. when contrasted with our present
eondition-uuder President who was
either unwilling or unable to give Us any
shing worth having. An argument used
at the North during the canvass, which,
in view of the abuses under which we
labor, prevented thousands of good men
from voting for Seymour. was that ne
would be powerless, while Grant would be
all powerful. Seymour, they said, can
do nothing against Congress. and
SO we shall have another johnson adj
ministration, with no good to any
body. But Grant can remedy abuses,
and we think be is disposed to
do it, and so in fact they promised for
him. Ia this view, therefore, we are dis
posed to be hopeful. johnson has done
US no good. Grant may do some, and
we may hope for his own credits sake,
and to redeem the expectations and
promises Of a not uncomfortable share Of
his supporters, will do something. That
given, much as We should have preferred
the election Of Seymour, we shall have
made great gain for Tennessee. Grant
will see that the government Of this
State was illegal from the beginning,
that il was initiated aud perfected under
johnson, and that it is such a govern
meut as no respectable and well mean
iug people should be required or per.
mitted to live under. That is what the
whole American people see, iceland say.
And, though we have no particular ad.
miration for Grant as the President elect.
vet now that be is so, We may very
well hope for the best, and that he will

pie see, and permit What they viii m
