TENNESSEE POLITICS AT WASH
INGTON,

The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial writes
under date of the oath inst. as fol-
lows:
"Col. Stokes gives, as his opinion, that
the Legislature Just elected in Tennessee
will refuse to ratify the fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution, Notwithstanding
the promises made by Gov. Senter to the
contrary. This, however, is said to be
nut out by Stokes for the purpose OF excl
ling the administration against the sue"
cessful party in Tennessee:
"Stokes wants to create the impression
that the Senter party will revolutionlze
the State, and array itself against the gen.
oral government. 1t is the opinion OF the
hest informed Radical politicians that
Stokes' mission here will be fruitless one,
az far as his alleged object is concerned;
lint Stokes SAYS he will make an earnest
appeal to the President, when he arrives
here next week, for interference. =
"This Radical proposition is pooh-p
ed by all but the rule at any cost wing OF
the Radical party, and none but such blind
and interruptions politicians as these Tor
a moment entertain the idea that Congress
or the administration has any more juris-
J;c,ion over the subject that the learned,
astn,e statesman Stokes would have them
control. than they have over elections to
tale Mace in Ohio and Pennsylv ania In
October"
The Cincinnati Gazette's cor
respondent writes:
"Polilicians here are discussing the
chances of the adoption or rejection OF the
| 6fteenth constitutional amendment. The
probable action Of Tennessee, which few
months ago was counted on as certain for
ratification. canvassed with some ear
nes,ness and anxiety, although the major
ity of Republicans incline to the OPINION
that she will go as is was at first supposed
she would. Stokes, however, is very conf
| dent and positive that she will reject 1t,
| and when reminded that Senter Is pledged
| to it's ratification, he is still incredulous
He saws that Senior talks publicly in favor
of il. and that privately he is on the othel
side.
"Stokes' proposition TO convene an extrt
session of Congress is laughed at by every
one and there is not the slightest proba
IiIi,v that the President will be induced
10 do anything of the kind"
The Louisville Courier. Journals
correspondent writes under date o
the 10Th:
"The proposition of Stokes TO have al
extra session of Congress TO upset the re
snIts of the late electioa in Tennessee j

of the USloE ASD AMERIoAN under
its present management.
The consolidation of the Union
and Dispatch and the Gazette was
hailed by thousands of friends of
both old papers, as giving assur-
ance of greater combined useful
ness and success. The wisdom of
uniting them, thus concentrating all |
the available resources of both, with |
all their experience, talent and
enterprise, has been fully exempli-
fed by a review of the years work.
The friends of the one paper were
the friends of the other; and they
contributed to sustain both; and
when combined, those friends came
forward with willing earnestness
to patronize and encourage paper
they hoped would be true and reli-
able reflex of genuine public senti-
ment. AS an evidence of the inter
est felt for and encouragement offer
ed TO us in our efforts, our patrons
are now more than five-fold what
they were one year ago. We
pledged the people, if backed by
their patronage and counsel, we
should endeavor, to the utmost of
our ability, to make paper that
should be full, live, reliable, genteel
and an exponent of the true public
sentiment of Tennessee. The
growing favor with which our
paper was hailed from week TO
week, and from month to month,
during the year now closed, has
been most gratifying to the proprie-
tors and editors of the UNION AMI
AMERICAN, as a valued testimonial
of the heartiest appreciation of oul
constant, untiring and well-meant
efforts. Our paper spread every.
where, and among people o.
all classes and shades Of opin
ion; it was sought after
and read with eagernesss anC
pleasure. We received the mos
flattering expressions of approva
from all parts of the State; and w
doubt if any other publication evel
rose half so fast in public favor al
has this paper for the last twelve
months. 1t now not only reaches
all the postoffices in this State and il
read by all who love the truth, blu
it goes 10 other States, and is daily
in greater demand by the true people
everywhere.
We were the pioneers in reducing
the terms Of subscription to ante
war prices. We hope to reduce the
price still lower as the demand in
creases with our efforts TO make
the paper just what We know
our friends desire it TO be, and thi
we hope to do by the help of tn
people we are trying TO serve.
We here, as many times before, re
turn our most sincere acknowledg
ments, especially to our agents an
ourthousands offriends everywher
for their kind efforts in our behal
running up our subscription list t.
its present enormous circulation
We pledge the public redouble
efforts on our part in future, an
ask continued, generous cooper
alton, in making the UNION AN
AMERICAN all that IFS most san
guine friends can ask.

At church / sit within her pew,
Oh, pughi
But there l heard
No pious word
I saw alone her eyes of blue.
saw her bow her head so gracious
Oh, gracious
The choir sang,
The organ rang,
And seemed to fill the building spacious.
I could not hear the gospel law,
Oh, la
My future bride
Was by my side
/ found all else mighty law.
And so, when pealed the organs thunder,
Oh, thunder
] fixed my eyes
In mute surprise
On her whose beauty was wonder.
To me the maiden was most dear,
Oh, dear!
And she was mine,
Joy too divine
For human words to picture here.
Her love seemed like prayer to bless me,
Oh, bless me
Before she came
NY life was tame
Ny rarest joys could but oppress.me
The service done, we sought the shore,
Oh, pshawl
And there we walked
And sadly talked
More sadly than eer before.
Thought she was type of goodness,
Oh, goodness
But on that day
heard her say
Plainsswords whose very tone was rudeness
We strayed, beyond the tides mill-dam-
Oh, dam!
She Tilted me,
And now ! see
That Woman's love is all sham
