of Mr.. Rcadc's ability and his hold on the

the commencement Of new tale by this

A convention of the people of Tennes-

far the most important assemblage ever

tiOn is question of far more importance
than who shall represent US in the Sen

of men of profound intellect, liberal ideas,
combined with sound Judgment and wise
discretion. 1t is no place for hot. headed
impracticable men, or men of extreme
and illiberal views on any question. The
people of other portions of the State are
moving in this matter. M. Brown, one of
the ablest and coolest--headed men in the
State, is already announced as a candi-

Although the convention will probably
not assemble for three or four months vet.

THE ALABAMA ELECTION.

The Montgomery Gala } Daily Adyer.
tiser prints the following facts and re.
Elections with reference to the late eIeca
ton in that State: The figures show
that the Radical loss on the Grant vote
at the recent congressional election in all
the districts was fourteen thousand votes.
Ii consequently follows that had the
same number Of Democrats who voted
for Seymour and Blair chosen to give a
single day, or perhaps single honr to
their country and their oppressed State
we would have rolled up a majority of
ten thousand seven hundred and seventy
nine. What reflection on the patriot
ism and intelligence of our peopleI The
case Is even worse, however, than ap-
pears upon the surface. There must
have been not less than ten thOusond non.
voters OF our party at the presiden.
tial election. There were nearly
twenty-five thousand of those who voted
for Seymour who did not cast a ballot
at the recent election. Thus it follows
conclusively that not less than thirty,
three thousand Democratic votes remain
ed lazily and foolishly at home rather
than go few miles, and in many in
stances a few yards, to exercise the rights
and perform the duty Of true patriots
Yet these do nothing, and non-yoting
men will whine about taxes and earpet-
baggers from morning until night and
complain of the imbecility OF their
rulers and the exactions of the govern,
ment almost Qd nauSeQDs. Bot in our
opinion they are exactly the kind Of peo-
pie who ought to be represented by RAIDS
ical carpet-baggers and negroes, and
ought to pay taxes Why not, since they
seem TO desire III They are certainly
but little better than scalawags and pro-
fessed fence men.

The Pernleious Teachings OF q Certain
school Of Writers and RelIgI0nists.
From the Baltimore Sun. August q.
! We have already noticed the fact
that the growing laxity of the mar
rage tie, and the ease with which
divorces are now obtained in the
Northern and Western States of the
Union, has called out such men as
President Woolsey, of Yale College,
to portray the dangers which
threaten this social relation. On
the other side, according to the New
York Times, there IS now 6 regular
school of writer's and religionists
who boldly announce their opposi~
ton to the marriage institution.
The novel of Nicolas, advocating
free love, has at last eliminated in
All established literature devoted TO
that end, A large weekly journal
is published in Chicago, aVowedly
devoted to the abolition of marriage,
and the substitution Of the largest
license. The contributors to this
journal are said to be generally
women, some Of whom sign only their
initials to their contributions, while
others boldly annex their names,
maiden or marital, TO the ideas they
advance or advocate. A ses.ies Of
novels has been written by such
women as Mrs. j. s. Adams and
Mrs. Caroline Farchild Corbin,
covering with the thin disguise of
story pronounced advocacy of the
abominably free doctrine. One Of
the writer's in the anti marriage
organ to which we refer says, in a
recent issue: "There is scarcely
anything left now but the name OF
marriage, so loose is the sytem of
divorce becoming, when parties are
left as free to unmarry as to marry,
and that point is almost reached.
The old idea of marriage is dead
past hope of resurrection J" and this
writer rejoices that it is so, because
marriage lis contrary to the whole
spirit Of the age" Then, God help
the age. ....-
1t is difficult to conceive that
there are people 10 this country who
desire to establish the relations of
the sexes in the United States ON
the basis which exists between the
beasts of the field. Even sthe old
idea of marriage" as it existed in
Rome before the prevalence of
Christianity, would seem to be too
decent for the pioneers OF our So
called social progress. AT period
when the husband had the power of
divorce, five hundred years elapsed
without its exercise. When a new
Jurisprudence was introduced, that
marriage might be dissolved by
the abdication of either of the as
sociates, three centuries of pros.
perity and corruption enlarged the
principle to practical licentious-
ness equal to that which now seems
to De sought in this country. The
