baggers to retain Office and power
I in the Southern States.> Here is
the General in command Of the
district letting himself out to do the
dirty work of a political mendicant.
He goes to Washington and repre-
sents that there are but two parties
in Mississippi, Republican and
Democrat, the former composed of
loyal men, the latter of raseals.H 1T
Gen. Amos made this representation,
as he is reported To have done by the
CORE spondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, he has written himself
down the meanest, most malignant
of all the tools which the carpet
baggers have sent to Washington to
misreprcsent the people they know
will not give them Office. Such con
duet would be exceedingly repre-
hensibIe in a man who occupied no
official position tits an outrage in
Gen. Ames, for which he should be
kicked out of the army, and this
would have been the reward of his
infamy in the better days of the
republic. ..

AMALIGNANr sATRAP

The Radicals are making des
perate effort to get the Grant adj
min:stration committed to them il
Mississippi. Here is a specimen o.
the manwuvring furnished by the
Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial in his letter
of July IS:
"Gen. Ames, commanding the District
of Mississippi, and a number Of Repub-
lican politicians from that State, arrived
here yesterday. Gen. Ames was sent fol
by the President, but arrived too late to
see him before he left for Long Branch
Gen. Ames seems to be strongly opposed
to the Dent movement in Mississippi. He
says there are only two parties in that
State, Republican and Democrat-tht
former composed Of loyal men, the latter
of rascals. There is not the same issue
in the approaching election that there
was in Virginia. Both parties are OPP
posed TO disfranchisement and the test
. aths, and are in favor, simply, of uni
versal amnesty and universal suffrage;
and the only question with the voters is,
whether the offices 10 the gift Of the State
shall be filled by Republicans or men
who were formerly Rebels.
"Gen. Ames thinks the Dent move
ment dangerous to the peace and pros
peritv of the State. The men who pro-
pose to support him are the former Re~
bells. They will put one of their own
number on the ticket with him, as a
Lieutenant, and if they succeed, they
will send Dent to the United States
Senate, and thus secure the control Ofthe
Safe organization for themselves. He
saws further, that the Republicans will
hold their convention in about two months
hence, and will nominate State kepub-
lican ticket" ...
This is a fair specimen OF the
despicable resorts Of the carpet

TO BE WATCHED.

Grant is already regarded with
suspicion by his henchmen. The
favor with which he has received
the result of the election in Vir-
ginia, and the friendship he has
manifested for Judge Dent, who will
run for Governor of Mississippi on
a similar platform with that on
which Walker was elected in Nir
ginia, has caused no little trouble in
the camp. Prominent Radicals in
Washington think that cause exists
for the most careful watching of
the movements of the President in
political matters during the fall
campaign. The extremists do not
hesitate to avow their belief that the
very palpable conversation of two
or three members of the cabinet
will have such an influence over the
President as to cause bin to sub,
NIT measures to the next session
of Congress which cannot be re-
cognized as according with the es-
sentiaI principles of the Radi ca
party. This uneasiness as to keep
ing the President in their power
will, it is said, induce a formidable
movement toward effecting q
change in the cabinet when Con,
gress assemblies.

A ISLANDER EXPOSED.

The reported ostrage in Wilson
county, which the Press and Times
seized upon with such avidity to
make a point against the white citi-
zens of that county, ought to teach
that paper a lesson. In its issue of
yesterday it eonfesses that it was
imposed upon by a "lying niger"
"a black-hearted scoundrel," who
"defames a whole neighboi hood, "
when it published on his authority
that four negro men were killed
and one woman whipped by "dis-
guised men" Not only was it
imposed upon, but there was not
even an episode Of any character
whatever to found so bloody a tale.
The men who were reported to have
perpetrated these murders and
whipping, in disguise, care
all men of high standing
in their neighborhood." The
lesson which the Press and
Times should learn from this
disgraceful affair, is that it should
be more prudent and not so
ready to believe every atrocious tale
that may be told upon white citi-
zens of this State. That paper has
had the reputation of Selling upon
such stories as this and publishing
them with evident satisfaction,
simply because they reflected upon
the people Of this State. The time
when such things can be turned to
| account either for or against pc.
litical party, has passed, and the
Press and Times cannot be ignor.
ant of this fact. We like to SEE
enterprise in newspaper, bu'
when that enterprise leads to thu
libelling of a whole community, i
would be much better to stop ant
inquire as to the truth Of report
like this particular one. Let u:
have no more of this warfare upol
the white men of Ten nessee.

HIKING THINGS SLIGHTLY.

The Cookeville Times is Stokes
paper, and now for its position on
the suffrage question. In its issue
Of the 18th inst. that paper says:
ain regard to removing the political
disabilities that now rest npon those who
disfranchised themselves by participating
in the late rebellion, We are for it being
accomplished as quick as it can lawfully
bedone. We are not only for this but
for woman suffrage also. We do not
believe like Senator Brownlow and Sem
ter that it will require upwards of two
years; but like Gen. Stokes, we know it
can be accomplished much sooner.
While Stokes says he will accomplish it
in three months; Senter says it will re-
quire over two years, but does not say
how soCn he will accomplish it thereaf-
ter "
There is very little accord be-
tween the Stokes organs on the
franchise question. For instance,
the Jonesboro edition of Stokes
Nashville organ, declares that
Stokes "is opposed to universal
suffrage, which would at once give
the Rebels ali they fought for DUR
ing the war;" while the Cookeville
paper asserts that "'Stokes says he
will accomplish it in three months"
These organs pipe ono tuno for
East Tennessee and another for
Middle Tennessee. While the
Times seeks to make the impression
that Stokes favor5 the policy Of
removing the disabilities imposed
upon the great body of the white
tax payers of the State within three
months-fOr which it certainly has
no warrant in anything that Mr..
Stokes has said-it represents Gov.
Senter as saying at will require up
wards Of two years" Gov. Senter
has stated in his speeches from
Carter to Shelby, that if elected he
would recommend to the Legisla-
ture the holding of a convention to
Immediately restore the ballot to
every white tax payer in the State.
There has been no variation in his
position in this question, while
Stokes has been for and against en-
reimbursement as ii suited the whims
of the crowds he was addressing.
The CookeviIle Times has exhibited
a wonderful misconception of the
position of the two candidates on
this important question; indeed, it
has mixed things badly. This is
attributable to the fact probably
that it favors immediate enfran-
chisement, and strangely thinks IFS
candidate is on the same platform.

a SHANELESS OFFER To BRIBE N
NLM ENGLAND

The following extraordinary ad-
vortisement appeared in the New
York Tribune a few days ago
WEST PoNT.-Any person cont OIL
ling a nomination TO n Cadetship at West
Point, lacking a nominee, may hear of a
young man who is willing to compete for
the position, and whose friends are willing
to pay for the privilege. Address Box
-, Boston pOstofiice."
1t was stated by Mr.. Chasiier,
the principal Of popular private
school for boys in Newly FORK city, a
short time since, that he had been
offered large sums of money to pro
cure cadeteships for his pupils at
West Point and Annapolis. The
advertisement Of the nameless party
at Boston, confirms the statement
Of Mr.. ChasIier that such attempts
at bribery are becoming very com
mon. The Savannah News insists
that the fact that carpet-bag mem
bers Of Congress from the Southern
States hold the nomination Of cadets
which they arc entitled to make, rs
they do their votes in Congress,
subject to the call of the highest
biIIer has createdtbe cadet market
among the other villainies and cor
ruptions of the day. Such a thing
was not heard of until the moral
status of Congress had been de-
graded to its present level-until
men destitute Of principle, talents,
character or honor, utterly cOntemp
tible in every respect, were, in vio-
lation of law, right and justice,
thrust into the seats in Congress
once filled by the honored repre-
sentatives Of an intelligent and pa
triotic constituency. Corruption
has been long eating its way into
the heart and vitaIs Of the nation,
but il was not until it found its ems
bodiment in the shameless unprin-
ciplcd pet-bagger, that the com
missions once held as the need Of
true merit, were publicly hawkod
in the market and sold for shoddy
rreenbacks. What stigma will
this be TO West Point, what dis
Grace TO the American namel Even
the more respectable Radical
journals of the North are not in
sensible 10 the shame Of such open
disregard for decency. The New
York Sun, radical in an edito-
torial on the subject says:
."This is not the first time that such
advertisements have appeared in the
newspapers and the fact would seem to
Indicate that hitherto they have proved
advantageous means for procuring the
apnointnent desired lf it were Others
wise. why should another appear There
is little use in having the laws against
bribery upon our statute book, if such
omen attempts TO infringe are TO be per-
mitted through the medium of the public
rress. Advertisements Of this charac-
Ter are in the highest degree
,arnicious; for if every one OF
dnr national legislators be in fact as
incompatible as Mr.. Greeley himself, the
contrary impression is still produced.
Suspicion cannot be fixed upon any one
m particular, so that he may be punished;
Init the whole body of the national legis'
Iature is lowered in the public esteem.
This A most serious evil. We trust that
The saints Of the Boston daily press will
call the attention of their readers to the
fact that this advertisement emanates
from that city"
