A JUST v'NGAkIGSAMIoyEA NGkSAfM1I EAkqy IF THE DEMO

Hon. Emerson Etheridge one of the last
and ablest Of the old line Wings, formerly
Il member Of Congress- from Tennessee and
afterwards Clerk of the House of Rcpresen-
tatives, who was one Of the truest Union men
in the South du ing the war Of the Rebellion,
in a speech 1T a recent meeting held in honor
of the late Conservative victory in Tennessee,
reviewing the situation and referring to the
conduct and relative merits Of the great con-
tending parties Of the country, closed his re-
marks with the following just and truthful
tribute to the Democracy:
But to its eternal honor be it said it de
spoiled no man Of liberty, it did not originate
or favor great monopolies, it did not become

Finding no bastiles to pull down, it left none

despots maxim, sal"s PopnH suprenla lea,
was never spoken ol ny ltS poltlcal lcauerS,
and found no place in its political vocabulary
And if all the Southern rebels tcere Demo
Gratis, then we must admit, that during the
years they governed the State at Nashville,
during the four years they governed the Con-
federacy ut Richmond, they did not disgrace
themselves by passing laws that u Union
man should not vote, because he prayed
Heaven to give the victory to the flag,
u safe return to the soldier boy he claimed us
his own. These things neither rebels nor
Democrats did while the war was fragrant; it
remained for Radicals camp-folfowers to do

Mr. Etheridge, that the course and conduct
of the Northern Democracy, us Z party, since
the beginning of the war, especially since
1862, has not only been most honorable to
them, but entities them to the lasting graft
itude Of every lover of constitutional liberty
throughout the world. But for their compact
organization; but for the heroic manner in
in which they resisted the threats and bland
ishments of power; but for their sole battle
cry, ''the Constitution us it is, the Union as it
was" out public liberties would have been
overthrown, and that Imperialism, which is
now the hope of the hond-holder would have
been an accomplished fact.

Proposition to Reunite Divided
Party.

RICHMOND, July 32.-John w. Jen-
kins, Chairman OF the State Central
Committee of the Wells wing of the
Republican party, having written q
letter to DIR. Gilmer, Chairmen of the
Central Committee of the Walker wing,
saying that the two shall reunite for
carrying out Republican principles in
that State. The latter writes letter in
reply saying Walker Republicans left
the Wells party because either forced
to do so or oppose the policy of the
President After attesting to the almost
unanimous endorsement of Republican
principles by white men of the State,
were misled by the Wells leaders are
now flOcking by hundreds to the Grant
Walker standard. He concludes as
follows:
"You ask for a coalition of the two
wings af the Republican party. l can
not admit that the party is divided.
On the contrary, | claim the Grant
Walker party is the national Union
party of Virginia, representing the pol
icy of the President and of Congress,
and as such it has no desire to hate the
late Wells party. l have only to say
we shall gladly welcome them to our
ranks, for we are unwilling to deprive
any class of citizens of the innumerable
blessings that must flow to Virginia
from an unequivocal enforcement of
those national principles of which
President Grant and Congress are the
head and 'front.'"

The Great Suez Canal Picnic.

When the opening of our Pacific
Railroad took place short time ago
many tourists fiocked to Promontory
Point. The number of sightseers, how
ever, was not so large as the occasion
warranted. We may ascribe the lack
of numbers to the expense and difficul>
ty of reaching the spot and to the lack
of accommodations there. Another
reason, and perhaps the best one of all,
is that there were no acknowledged
leaders of fashion on the ground.
The celebration at SueZ in Novem-
Der will attract thousands. In the first
place it will mark new era in COM
mercial history; it will furnish a pur-
pose for a delightful trip up the classic
Mediterranean; it will be managed by
Frenchmen and will be distinguished by
all the lavish magnificence of effect and
the exquisite tact in details which have
become a Feature of Partisan tetes of
late years and last, but by no means
least, it will be attended by the leading
celebrities of the French beau monde.
The Empress, Princess Metternich,
Mime. Musard, and in fact the whole
imperial court, will camp on the desert.
Our Paris letters already begin to tell
us of the silk and satin tents that these
distinguished ladies will Use to shelter
themselves with. 1t will be a huge
picnic ON the most romantic situation;
for what can be more romantic than
the grand souvenirs which cluster
around the narrow neck of land which
united two immense continents? Ar
mics have marched over it time and
again, and few miles below tradition
still points out the spot where Moses
led the tribes of Israel through the Red
Sea. Traces can still be found ON the
isthmus of the canal traced in pre-his-
toric ages by one of the grand old
mOnarchs of Egypt; and who can gaze
on that sandy waste and not think
that perchance it may become one of
the Great battlefields of the world E?
The growing of the Sultan and Pacha,
which is yet only as the rumbling of
distant thun Ter, may be the forerunner
of such a storm as the world never yet
has seen.
Many of the large number of Ameri-
cans who are now in Europe will GER
tainly be there, for any new route to
the East affects us in the highest de-
gree; and in all probability some of our

For more specific information of the
glorious result achieved by the Univer-
sal Suffrage Party Of Tennessee, we re-
fer to the partial returns published be-
low which we condense from our Nash

Senter is elected by an overwhelming
majority, probably exceeding forty
thousand. Both branches of the Leg
islature will be strongly Conservative,
and in point of ability and respectable
ity will not suffer in comparison with
like bodies of men that convened at the
Capitol in days Of yore, when brains
and character were deemed essentials
in our legislators.

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.

New YORK, August 3.-The Sun as
serts that the administration of Grant
has opened negotiations with the pres
ent government of Spain for the indie.
pendence of Cuba. Gen. Sickles has
also presented the subject to the Minis
ter for Foreign Affairs at Madrid, and
two bulky kilograms have been received
at Washington in consequence.
The proposition Gen. Sickles has laid
before Senaro and his associates Is as
follows:
l Spain shall recognize the indepen-
dence Of Cuba under the government OF
Cespedes.
Cuba shall lay to Spain an indemni-
ty for the resignation of the rights
hitherto exercised by the mother cOun-
try. The amount of this indemnity
will be specified i'm the treaty.
3 Indemnity, whether fixed at Sl5O-
000.O00 or $3.50, 900, to be i'm bonds of the
Cuban government, payable with
interest at the expiration of a convent
ent period.
4 These bonds to be guaranteed by the
United States.
5 An armistice to be proclaimed be-
tween the patriots and the Spanish
troops in Cuba Immediately upon the
execution of the treaty; the island is to
be evacuated by the Spanish forces as
soon as the treaty is ratified by the
representatives Ofthe Cuban people and
the guarantee of the bonds approved by
the Congress of the United States.
If these terms are not at once ac-
cepted by the Spanish government, the
United States, without further delay,
will recognize the independence of
Cuba.

A correspondent writes to the Gin
cin.sti Times, that,
AS the eth day of August, the time
for the great eclipse of the sun to take
place, is not far off, while people are
looking out for that, let them look out
for the earthquake that is to accompa-
nv IL. The occurrence of the great and
disastrous earthquake i'm South Ameri-
ca i'm the month of August, last year,
by which seven cities on the Pacific
coast were shaken down and over
whelmed by the tidal wave, and thirty
thousand people lost their lives, was at
or about the same time of the total
eclipse of the sun, i'm the Southern
hemisphere, showing an apparent con-
nection between the two occurrences.
The philosophy of the matter seems to
be, that such a conjunction Of the sun
and moon acts on the great internal
ocean OF molten lava, with which the
interior of the earth is filled, i'm causing
all unusual upward pressure of it, and
an upheaving of the 'crlIst of the earth
above it, i'm section of country subject
TO earthquakes.
In confirmation of the connection be-
tween total eclipses of the sun and the
occurrence of earthquakes, 1 was told
not very long since by an intelligent
friend Of considerable reading, that the
great earthquake of New Madrid, Mo-,
in ISL or ISL, took place at or about
the occurrence Of total eclipse of the
sun. Such an eclipse OF the sun as we
are about 10 have, it is said, happens
very seldom, and has not taken place
in a long time. Hence we may look |
out for the region of country about |
New Madrid, or coast of California, to |
I've severely shaken about the 9TH of Au-

it were possible to conceive that
the Federal Administration would be
guilty of the folly of interfering in the
affairs of this State as threatened by
Gen. Stokes, what would become CT
Tennessee bonds. If the State govern
ment of Tennessee is resolved into chaos
again, they would, i'm ten days, sink
fifty per cent. i'm value. There are per.
haps S25, 600, 900 of them, held in the
Northern States, chiefly i'm New York
city. Is it presumablc that these cap
italists who hold the Grant administra-
ton in the hollow of their hands, will
consent to an unreconstructiug of Ten
nessee at such a sacrifice, for the pur-
pose of putting Gen. Stokes i'm the CUB
ernatorial chair? Not for a moment.
This, if there were no other, is cogent
reason for the people against all fears
of the execution of such threats as
Gen. Stokes vents his desperation i'm.
