ANDY REDIvIvUs. last man from Ten
nessee says that Andy Johnson will undoubt-
edly make vigorous effort to secure the privi-
lege of presently representing that State in the
United States Senate. This ought to be true,
and we hope it is. If Andy makes any effort
it will be a vigorous one, and we therefore
hope he will follow the advice so vainly given
to Mrs. Dombey and 'make an effort" Partly
this hope is selfish. Times are dull now. In
spidity reigns even at the watering places.
There will be spice in the world once more in
moderate way if Andy makes an effort. But
partly, also, the hope is patriotic, for Andy, in
all soberness, ought to be in the Senate. No
man in the United States could be Of more use
there, and there. is no man whom the radical
faction would less like to see there
