WE have a variety of reasons as
signed now for the Gettysburg Re
union scheme, among which that OF
determination, which was pretended,
seems 10 have no place. We heard
Yesterday the prime object was to adj
vertise the Gettysburg Springs. The
last phase of the matter Is, that it was
the dodge of a shreWd book publisher,
and a plan for advertising widely his
book. TO be entitled the Reunion Of
the Federal and Confederate Gene
rails" The New York World charac-
terizes the whole As "a lame and i'm
potent conclusion, " and "a mOre afro
eiovs job than the marriage Of Tom
THUMB, the Boston Jubilee, and the
STOwE-BYRoN paper itself" The
World says: "This Gettysburg little
game, in inception, progress, and
sequence, has been announced and
reported solely in the interest Of 2 so
called military history not yet in
press. The assumption of patriotic
and pacific motives inspiring the
movement is as cool as the result of
it Is ridiculous. Reunion" there
was none. : few federal fighters
were chicaned into attendance; a
warm of civilians and Il cloud of the
Grand Army of the Republic dark
ened the air. Eminent Confederate
Generals were coarsely and falsely
announced as sure. to come. None
came; but from the gallant LEES did
come decorous disclaimer of this book
advertising and sectional phases of
the fraud"

THE astonishing fact has come 10
light that a considerable portion OF
the Northern Republican press think
Gen. GRANT ought not to "set aside
the election in Tennessee, and order
the military in that State to put the
men on the STOKES ticket in posses
sion of the Government The Chi
cago Times is impudent enough TO
thrust its face in to the family broil,
and talks thus, with reference to the
Radical papers:
''such deem il an objection
TO such a policy that the President has no
authority ia pursue il. He has exactly
the same authority for it that Congress
had for the enactment of the recOnstruc-
ton iniamy, and that is, the necessity
for protecting the loyal men of the South
This necessity is above the Constitution,
and therefore, confers the same powers on
the President and Congress In their rela-
tons 10 States in the Union that il does
in their relations 10 the reconstructed >
States. If Candy may and ought 10 over
loval men, ought not Canby's commander
in-chief 10 have as great authority in Ten
nessee, and exercise il for the same pUr-
poser
Is Stokes less worthy than WelisY Be

AN argument for the XVIII amend
ment used in the North is that it
spikes that Southern gun, which
charges that Northern States refuse
fOr themselves what they would en-
force on the South. Another sUgges-
tiOn is that it will make an end of
controversy on the subject. Thus 1t is
proposed to end disagreements by sup
pressing them-by compelling all to
bow to the behests Of a party necessi-
ty. And thus il il that party ends are
TO be accomplished on plausible rea-
sons, and that principles the most
vital to Republicanism are put to haz-
ard aud made TO enter into and be-
come the instruments of maintaining
the 8 ins In Office at the expense Of
the " outs" What next? If agrari-
anism should suit as well as negro.

stead of ending u troubles is not the
enforcement Of such a policy calcula-
ted TO make them eternal?

THE New York Tribune is very per

THE New York Tribune is very per-
sistent in advocating its old view that
free negro labor will produce more
bountifully than slave. The lesson Of
experience has no weight with it. The
fact of a million and a half against
five staring it in the face makes no
difference. It has declared the horse
sixteen feet high, and of course it
sticks to it. Stimulated to production
as we are by thirty cents per pound
for cotton, the Tribune estimates the
crop of 1869 at three millions, and pre-
diets five within ten years, all with
out reference to the effects of Chinese
immigration. If the Tribune any ba-
sis for such a calculation, it is in the
rapid filling up of<the country with
immigrants, stimulated by the pres
ent enormous prices of the staple.
Certainly without that, and with no.
thing but negro labor to rely on, we
not O~nIyashOuld not reach ten millions,
but we never should three. If cotton
commanded no more now than AVER
age old prices-nine cents gold, or say
twelve cents greenbacks, supposed to
be the equivalent-we should not
make, in 1869, more than one million
bales of cotton. The reason we are
making so large a crop as we do is,
that white labor, induced by the price,
is sO]argely engaged in it. And even
with all this stimulus, three millions
is an extravagant estimate to be made
at the commencement of the picking
season. 1t will certainly be very re-
markable if, with half labor and a
good season, wegather more than half
a full crop. The result depends more
on the gathering than on the produc-
ing capacity. Whites are not equal
to blacks as pickers; and we doubt
whether, with their labor added to
that of the moiety of blacks now in
the cotton fields, it will be possible to
harvest more than two and a half
millions. We shall be very fortunate
if we do that. The whole crop, more
or less, however, the Tribune will still
persist in setting down to the credit of
free as against slave labor. And if
the country should fill up with Chi
nese, and consequently reach its ten
millions of bales, the Tribune will con-
tinue exuItingly to say " told you sol
told you 50! See the vast peouniary
advantages of freed labOr!" The
South will be enriched and aggran-
dised by all causes, and the Tribune
will everlastingly put ii down to the
credit of the fanatics.

We understand that W. Q. Folks,
Esq, ofthis city, has been suggested
by some of his friends here for Clerk
of the House of Representatives at
Nashville. Mr.. Folks is a young
gentleman Of excellent capacity, and
would I'LL that position as well a any
one we could name. No young man
could be selected who is more deserv-
ing socially, Intellectually and moral
Iy than he for that or any other posi-
don he would ask or accept. We
suppose he would hardly consent to
be announced as a candidate, and it is
possible he would not leave his pro-
fessIon for the Office. But, without
taking grounds a a partizen for any
one, we take the occasion to concur
with his other friends in the expires
sion of the view we entertain of a
young gentleman of more than COM
mon merit.
