The Tennessee Election.

Whatever may prove to be the conse-
quence of the defeat of Stokes, the radical
candidate for Governor in Tennessee, II is
very certain that the election of Gov. Sem
ter cannot be claimed as victory over the
republicans. since the successful candidate
unquestionably secured very influential
support by his professions Of ardent repub-
lcanism. Thus, in his address published
several weeks before the election, Gov.
Senter concluded the appeal for republican
support rs follows: Finally, i stand fully
and frankly upon the platform Of the Ma
tional Republican party. as adopted at the
Chicago Convention in May, 1868, and us
illustrated by the administration of Presi-
dent Grant. These views and principles
are, rs conceive, founded in justice and
right. They are similar to the doctrines
of the Declaration of Independence; they
appeal to the conscience Of every honest
and sincere republican. BY them l am
willing TO stand or fall. But l cannot be-
licvc that my fellow-citizcns will do othcr
than indorse them; and relying upon that,
/ shall expect, on the first Thursday in
August next, to bc elected Governor of
the State by such a majority as shall prove
to the world that Tennessee still adhercs
tn the great ideas of freedom, justice and
equality before the law, which are the end
and aim of all good government"

The New Governor Of Virginia.

A delegation from Georgetown have
recently interviewed Governor-elect Walk
erof Virginia, and report of the remarks
of Mr.. Walker is very interesting. He
declared himself to be an earnest republi-
can, an upholder Of the reconstruction acts
Of Congress, in favor Of the adoption OF
the fifteenth amendment, and firm and
unwavering friend Of Gen. Grant and his
administration. On asking him how 1t
was that ne had been so earnestly support
ed by those who had hitherto been the
most bitter opponents OF all these men and
measures, he remarked that II was evident
that people outside of Virginia did not dis
tinguish between the people and the poll
ticians. He contended that the great mass
of the old politicians of the State had OPP
posed his election, refusing to vote them
selves and influencing all whom they could
control not to vote; that he had succeeded
In cutting the mass of the people loose
from the old politicians, and If sustained
by the republican party and the admins
trrtion would soon succeed In making good
republicans of them. A great many men
he admitted had voted for him rs what
they regarded "the least of two evils"
but he contended that the great mass had
given him a cordial support because they
dctestcd his opponent, because they were
disgustcd with the old politicians, and be-
cause they believed that he could secure
them representation in Congress and the
restoration of the State to its old position
in the Union, which is now the first and
ardent wish of the people.
The Governor is u young man OF abili-
ty and apparently sound principles. But
he Is in very difficult position, and 1t will
require nerve and great discretion to pre-
serve himself untainted with what we fear
will be the rebel influences surrounding
him. But he ought TO know the situation
in Virginia much better than we, and we
feel disposed now to regard his election
fortunate. If he holds out according to
this manifesto, he will have the whole
power of the administration and the great
Republican party to support him.

from him:
JOURNAL OrrIcE BpDEsoRD,

alluding to this journal. you say
10 utterly refuses to head its editorial columns
with Chamberlaln's name, and more than intimates
that Il will support iiiehborn. We copy frOm late

rs 10 what you ought to do In tho case, make up
anil can do Il no such good service as by leaving It,"
In the above there is misapprehension OF
facts which does me injustice. The absence OF
the candidates name at the head of my columns,
signifies nothing politically. Whether to place
Il there or not Is simply question Of taste, and
no name was placed there last year, neither
Chamberlain's, nor Grant and Colflx's. The
parcntheScs In theextract are an Interpolation and
consequently not published in the original. In
writing the articleI had notthe remotest thought
of either Chamberlain or Hichborn. Believing
that the denomination Of MIR. c. was uncalled
for and would be fruitful Of discord to the party,
this paper opposed such consummation but
Il does not refuse 10 support that nomination

misinterprctcd. il is just that he should
have the opportunity to set himself right.
But we are sorry 10 be obliged to count
him out of the hand of patriots who are
endeavoring to rcgenerate the party, by
allying around il purer organization.
And u paper Is lost from the count OF last
week, of those which would support Hich-

which we learn is to be started in this city,
