The Tennessee Senatorial election
marks something beyond the mere per-
sonal overthrow of Andrew johnson, as
noisy and troublesome politician. In
the language of the Louisville Courier,
one of the most influential conservative
papers i'll the South, it is "a fsrmaI
declaration against the politicians of
the Old chOol'-Ineaning, of course,
the Old Democratic school ofreactionists.
The result surprises US, when the
amazing rout of the Stokes radicals last
August is remembered. A Legislature
overwhelmingly Conservative and
intensely anti-Radicai has voted II want
of confidence in the chosen one of the
Northern Democracy. 1t has spurned
the advice so freely lavished by North
ern presses and politicians, that ] ohnson
should be returned, and sends TO. the
Senate peace Offering rather than a
fresh prOyocation. One thing this elec-
tion demonstrates as clearly as the
course of the Conservatives in 9th er
Southern States, and that is that the
people of the South, however much
they may object to the Republican
party, do not propose TO follow the lead
of our Northern Rip Van Wrinkles, sail
ing under the Democratic banners. They
are holding themselves aloof from party
prepared to act as it
seems to them the requirements of the
hour demand. Those four little words
of the President, let Us have peace"
appear to be gradually working into
favor at the South Pitts. Com.

Election of senator In Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, October -22.--Henry
Cooper was this morning elected Oh first
ballot as United StBtes Senator from
Tennessee, receiving a majority of four
votes over Andy Johnson. The vote
stood: Cooper, 90; Johnson 81.
The election of Seuator gives satisfac-
ton TO all but Johnson's most ardent
friends. Probably better selection
could not have beer made. Mr.. Cooper
is one of the ablest lawyers in Tennessee.
He was one of the Military Governor
Johnson's appointees to the Judiciary,
and was commended for his integrity as
an officer by Governor Brownlow in a
message to the Legislature. He gave
the decision in the Sherbrooke-Ridley
case, now pending in the United States
Supreme Court, that our franchise law
is unconstitutional. On retiring from
the bench, he became professor in the
Lebanon Law-School. Resigning that
position he removed to Nashville, and
is now Senator from Davidson county
To show the estimation he is held in by
all parties, it may be noted that all the
Radicals, with one exception, voted for
him. The election throws the last shovel
of earth on reputation in Tennessee.

4 Good Game.
From the American Builder.

] FROM the AMERICAN Duiluer
Tehre is a simple but interesting play
to which our young folks have given the
name OF "Ver6ariIm, " and which has
had remarkable effect, within our OBJ
servation, in stimulating the faculty of
language i'll many somewhat sluggish
| brains. \ number of persons-the
more the merrier-are provided with
| pencils, aud word chosen as the ver-
| blrium, which each writes at the
head OF his sheet. The object of the
game is 10 draw out the vast number of
words which lie folded up, as it were, in
the vcrbarium, and this is accomplished,
amid much excitement aud amusement,
IN the following manner: Let us sup
pose, for instance, that the word chosen
Is treason. One of the company is
appointed me-keeper; and the signal
ueing given, each writes rs rapidly as
| possible all the words beginning with a
d" ~ which can be spelled with the letters
of the veTbarium
| AT the end of two minutes the time
keeper calls time ~ and the eager
pencils are obliged to stop. The compa-
ny then read, in order, the words they
have written. AS each word is read,
those who have not written it call out
no" and those who have it cross it out
from their lists, and opposite to it n
number Of credits, equal to the number
of defaulterS. Ii three persons, for
instance, fail to have the word tea"
the rest take three credits. Two minutes
are thea devoted to words beginning
with "R," aud so on, until the whole
verharum is exhausted, when each
player counts the aggregate number of
credits, ana the one who has the largest
udmber is declared the winner.
The possibilities of fun in this game
10 not all appear from n dry description
ike the foregoing.
The lamentations of those who, in
their Jealous pursuit of complicated
ana grams, have overlooked the simplest
combinations the shouts OF laughter
that attend the defeat of an attempt to
impose triumphantly some word that
"iSn't in it; the appeals to the diction-
try TO settle disputed questions, and q
Ihandred other lively incidents of the
game render it the most popular with
Did and young that has ever been in
troduced into the parlOr.

Il Good Word for Women.

favor of the classification of female
clerks, "A lar number of whom lie has

Kansas Pacific Railway.

Sheridan, the present terminus of the
Kansas Pacific road, is three thousand
feet above the sea level, yet cultivated
land there yields forty bushels of corn
to the acre. Within year past the
frontier of settlement has advanced
fully fifty miles. The road is now fairly
out upon what is called the great Amer
lean desert, though not upon the worst
parts of it. The portion of it on which
the road is built is susceptible of profita-
BILE cultivation, as has been already
practically demonstrated. This vast
treeless waste has been so recently re-
claimed from the Indians and the buff
faloes that the skulls of the latter still
cover the ground. The two hundred
and twenty-five miles lying between
Sheridan and Denver include the arid
sandy and alkaline desert, with which
no one has vet done anything, and the
Company has wisely abstained from
crossing it before having a reliable basis
of business to depend upon in Kansas
The line is of course intended to ulti-
mately reach the Pacific coast, and it
has been designed to run it by way of
Santa Fe, through the center of New
Mexico and Arizona, so as to reach the
southern part of California in way to
turn the flank of the mountains.

The Cost of Democracy.

The Republican Committee ofMarylan6
havepublished statement of financial
affairs in that States since 1860. It shows
that under Republican rule expenditures
from 1861 to 1866 inclusive, with the
bounties and all other expenses of the
war, were less that thirteen millions,
while the first Legislature after the war,
which was wholly Democratic. spent in
two years over twelve millions. The
committee presento official figures to prove
their statements, and then call attention
to the fact that Maryland is now the on
ly State in the Union that is under ex-
elusive Democratic control, and there is
not Constable or a County Commits
sioner, in any section of the State, who
is not radical Democrat.
