Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-08-03

Whenever the Radicals in the
Southern States find that they are
getting into a hopeless minority,
they begin to appeal TO the Grant
administration to save them by
some act of usurpation, some viola
ton of tho fundamental law. In
States which are constructively re-
garded as out Of the Union, they
appeal to the administration to SO
dispose the military that that arm
of the service may give them the
relief they so earnestly pray for.
A few parties are now in Washing
ton claiming to represent the Davis,
or Radical wing of the Republican
party in Texas, have had several
interviews with Boutwell, and other
members of the cabinet recently,
during which they charge that the
United States military authorities in
Texas were favoring the conserva-
tives of the Hamilton wing of the
party. The object of these parties
is to have a number of the military
officers in Texas removed and ultrs
Radicals assigned to duty there
| instead.

DENT.

A very determined effort is being
made by the Radicals of Mississippi
to kill off Judge Dent, the brother
in-law of Gen. Grant, who has sig
nifed willingness to accept the
nomination of Governor, if rendered
him by the conservative wing of
the Republican party of that State.
In furtherance of their object, they
represent Grant as being opposed
to the election Of Dent, but this re-
port seems to be without founda-
ton. Grant is not, by a long shot,
the smartest man that has occupied
the presidential Office during the
last quarter of century, but he is
shrewd enough to see the folly Of
committing his administration
against Republicans who are sure
to be elected in the Southern States.
A Washington special of Aug. to
the Louisville Express says:
,"Messrs. Jefferds and Norman, the
representatives in this city of the Ma
tional Republicans of Mississippi, publish
a card here this morning, in which they
contradict the statement that Judge
Dent expressed himself as willing to
accept the Conservative nomination for
Governor of that State. They say no
such nomination has been rendered him.
| The nomination he has declared his will
| ingness to accept is the National Repub
| licans-sometimes designated Conserva-
| tive Republicans in contradistinction to
| the extremists, who are identified with
the obsolete and repudiated policy of dis
| franchisement, and are therefore not in
accord with the liberal views Of the
National Republican party. The init
nation that Judge Dent is the nominee
of the Presidents enemies is alb"
surd, and is so destitute of truth as tc
be perfectly monstrous. His support
ers are the firm, original, and steadfast
friends Of the President, and among the
number are those who have signal proofs
of his confidence, and who adhere strictly
to the congressional plan Of recohstruc'
ton. They further state that the factor
in that State hostile to the nomination o
Judge Dent were in opposition to thu
views of the President, and that they de
nounced both him and Congress. Thu
gentlemen above named claim that the!
| represent the regular organization of the
party in Mississippi, and will achieve al
overwhelming victory in the cominI
election, bringing to the support Of tn
reconstruction policy of the President tn
great mass of people, irrespective Q
race, color or former political creed"

SOME FACTS FOR QUE BANKS AND
WHEAT GROWERS.

WHEAT GROWERS.
If the wealth of State consists
in its surplus productions over its
consumption, should it not be the
duty of every citizen to add as
much to the value of these produc-
ton as possible and, if such is
their duty, why is it that so large
quantity ofwheat is being shipped
to the Northern markets in crude
state2 Clearly, it arises from a
want of knowledge on the part of
the shippers. For example, in New
York our wheat brings 81 20 per
bushel, or IS so for an amount
necessary to make barrel of flour,
while the -four will bring 50 so, or
one dollar more. The freight on
wheat is As cents per bushel, or
50 25 for five bushels, while the
rate on flour is 81 80, or saving of
80 cents in freight. Here, then, is
a clear gain Of 81 80 per barrel, be-
sides 100 pounds of ofal, which
will swell the amount to at least SO.
Now, if 100000 bushels of wheat
shall be shipped away from Nash
vile, as is now being done, and
which we have ample capacity here
to grind, Nashville loses $4,000,
and this amount in the short space
of two TO four months. This money
may be saved here by the exercise
of a little iberality on the part of
our financial institutions. In sus-
tanning our millers, and thereby en-
abling them not only to increase
their profits, but to save to this city
the large sum spoken of above, let
us indulge the hope that this folly
of shipping grain will no longer be
allowed. We know our millers
have the pluck to stop it if they can
be properly supported by our CAPT
talists. We have made no allow
ance for the loss Of grain and the
wear and tear of sacks in shipping,
while the flour will lose nothing in
weight. BY our blind policy, we
are losing not less than 100000
| per year.

HONEST JEO TRIMBLE ct ais. in their
circular ito all true Republicans" use
the following language
1t behooves the friends of Nationality
and Equal Rights TO stand together,
without regard TO minor differences that
may have existed among them for the
past few weeks.
Equal rights What do these Learns
ed and liberal gentlemen mean by
equal rights? The right of the minis
Ority to vote, and the right of the major
ity TO remain excluded from the polls
How long will men continue to encsse
themselves in partizan prejudice, and
perpetrate this manner of selfstultifica-
ton ? The whole and sole object Of the
supporters of General Stokes is to deny
equal rights TO their fellow. citizens.
For this purpose they would perpetuate
proscriptive laws; for it, they would pro-
long the tyranny which has shamed and
disgraced the State; for it, they clamor
for Federal Intervention; for it, they
would overturn the constitution OF the
State; for it, they would defy the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court Of the State
For shame, let them not blister theil
tongues with the term-"equal rights"

IT behoove3 the true friends Of Senter
and suffrage to bestir themselves in Da~
wilson county. 1t is manifest that there
is an attempt by intimidation regarding
interference from Washington, to concen-
trate the entire Republican vote, white
and colored, for Stokes and the opposi-
ton ticket. In these demoralized times,
this is powerful appeal and a conclu-
sive argument with large mass Of voters
There is no doubt that it has had some
effect already. The price of the liberty
we have in prospect, is eternal vigilance
and untiring effort.

We regret to see the State Journal
opening its columns to articles so grossly
abusive Of the Governor of this State as
one which appeared in that paper yesters
day. Personal vituperation, and especi-
ally of so violent character as that we
allude to, should be rigidly excluded
from our public journals. This canvass
has partaken more of personalities than
any we have ever had in this State.
This is one Of the fruits Of Radicalism.

GRANT AND HIS STUDIES.

The New York Sun, edited by
Charles A. Dana, Assistant Secre-
tary of War under the notorious
Stanton, reports Gen. Grant "sitting
on the piazza, reading the Imperi-
alist." The Philadelphia Age says
it is sorry to find him thus employ
ing his leisure. To minds like his
the fallacies of that ingenious ad-
vocate of despotism, are really dam
gerous. There is q natural tenden
cy to admire arbitrary power in all
regular soldiers. War is a scene in
which laws are silenced; armies are
not pursuaded by reason; they are
ruled by force. The order of any
man in shoulder straps is better than
the best argument. Military men
are bred in preparation for war,
and their religion is generally ex-
pressed in the maxim, "God is on
the side of the heaviest artillery"
These mon arc always impa-
tient of the deliberation, the dis
cussion that belongs to free popu-
lar government. Grant, too, adds
the Age, is surrounded by another
class of the advocates of Imperial
ism-the men who have got sud
denly rich, and are inflated with
the pride of money. They have a
fancy that it ought to make them
an aristocracy, far above all com
mon people, as they style poor men.
This is the class who are in truth
the dangerous class in our country
tho rich and ignorant class, for
they know nothing of the princi-
pies of their own or any other gov
ernment TO them a royal gov
ernmcnt seems to offer a higher
position than thep can got in a res
public.
It is to the ignorant that the I'M
periaIist appeals. 1t harps upon
the infirmaties of human nature and
the excesses of Radicalism, and
charges them upon popular govern
ment. But thinking men know
that it is as we depart from true
popular government that we lose
the guiding spirit OF the general
common sense Of the people-mOre
reliable than the boosted astuteness
of the most successful despOt. One
Napoleon brought France under the
heel of its enemies, and ended his
life in a prison. Another, by force
and fraud, snatched away the lib
erty of Franco, and is doing it out
to the people again, in the hope that
they will not wrench it from his
grasp. For his security he keeps
eight hundred thousand mon under
arms. There is no secure, durable
government, but that which is
founded on the free consent Of the
people. All other forms are tempo
rary shams, with revolution always
impending over them.

If 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 of Tennes.

Tennessee is resolved into chaos again,
they would, in ten days, sink fifty per
cent in value. There are perhaps 49,
100000 Of them, held in the Northern
States, chiefly in New York city. Is it
presumable that these capitalists who
hold the Grant administration in the
hollow Of their hands, will consent to
an unreconsHucting of Tennessee at such
a sacrifice, for the purpose of putting
Gen. Stokes in the gubernatorial chair?
Not for moment. This, if there were
no other, is cogent reason for the peo-
pie against all fears Of the execution of
