Now thai the election Of O United States
Senator frtn Tennessee has been postponed
until the 18th instant, snd considering that the
coming man - to be a Democrat, is il too much
10 hope that tie sensible conservative men OF
the two leading parties IN the legislature will
improve tae interim by uniting upon an able
and hlsh-'oued moderate Democrat-such as
Judge Nicholson. for example,-and eIecting
him, 10 the diseomn,ure and dnal extinguish-
ment Of both johnson and Etneridge! Without
some saeh action-if late reports OF a COM
bIration between them be founded in fast,-lt
seems that we are tated TO have one or the other
OF both OF these worthies in the Senate; and the
presence OF either Of them Is not likely to con
tribute materially to the dignity OF that body or
rebound much 10 the credit or advantage of the
state which sends him. Healthy opposition is
a good thing IN any legislative body,-good ,
not only for the party IN power, but for the
country at large, and the nearer its leaders
come 10 being statesmen the better all around;
but johnson and Etheridge are mere dema-
gogues and agitators, of the most pestilent
sort, who can do nothing TO temper the hot
action OF majority against them nor add
strength 10 their own party. II Tennessee con.
suits her true interests, she will keep them both
at home.

The speech Of Secretary Boutwell,, at Phila.
deiphia, on Saturday night, was a well con.
sidered, thoughtful examination OF the great
problems OF taxation, revenue, and expendI.
lures There are two portions OF 1t Of special
fnterest-that relating to the present rate Of
decrease OF the public debt, and to the ability
mat the American people will soon have TO
place the principal Of their existing debt at a
lower rate OF interest. II needs no words to
convince that decrease OF the principal and
of the rate of interest mean the ability to totally
abolish deb. Mr.. Boutwell, shows that
we are nov decreasing the principal of the
debt, and that the opportunity OF decreas.
ing the interest will be within our power.
With our own present rate of taxation
and expenditures the whole Of our vast
debt will be exunguished in fourteen years. II
We decrease our taxation-a course we have
steadily advoeated-and reduce the surplus to
nifty millions year, we may still pay of every
cent OF our interest bearing debt in twenty-five
years. Going yet farther tnan this, and more
largely reducing taxation, we may, with
surplus Of twenty-six millions a yea, still
provide for the extin inguishment of our iLtsres'
bearing debt in thirty years. All these caIcu-
lations are made on the basis Of paying six per
cent. interert, in gold. on our bonds. But The
very Demonstration of our ability 70 thus ex-
tnguish our in ndeotedness, brings In another and
mCst important consideration, and that Il our
ability 10 place the whole debt al ower rate of
interest. Already the capitalists Of Europe
assured OF our honesty and solvency, are COM
ILg forward with offers to take a Government
Ioan at four and a half per cent. The cousoIi.
daiion OF our debt az this rate would be a saving
10 the people OF from twenty TO twenty-five
miliioLs Pc year.

Elections are to oe held tomorrow in the

De regarded as 70 some extent indicating the
opinion In which the Administration is held by
the public at large, the ue will be watched
with no little interest.
From Pennsyivania We have no advices to
change the opinion heretofore expre.sed,-tha,
the Republican ticket Will be carried, but by a
small majority.
In OHIO. the Republicans are sanguine thst
they will elect their State ticket but the coute,,
over the Legislature promises 70 be 80 close
That II is useless to hazard prediction as to the
probable political complexion OF thar body
Indeed, 50 evenly balanced do the counties ana
districts appear 10 be that the shire widest calcu.

matters, there Is q serious split In the RepubIi
can party in that county, which has resuItsd
IN fusion Of the disanected Republicans and
the Democracy. The papers supporting the
regular ticket affirm that u will be carried
easily, but we shall not bs surprised TO hear
that portion Of each ticket has been elected
As before stated, the Legislature elected this
fall has the redistricting OF the State under the
new Congressional apportionment, 80 that,
considering the bearing Of that measure upon
national politics, the securing of a majority In
the Legislature is considered by the politicians
as Of quite as much importance as CARVING
the State ticket; and, as Hamilton county is ex.
pectea to decide this point, news from that
quarrer Will be an xiously looked for.
FROM Indiana we have nothing to indicate
the probable result, but II seems to be regarded
IS likely that the Republicans will carry the
State. There is, however, Int little interest
manifested IN the result, so far as we can gather
from our exchanges.
In Iowa the election will PROBABLY be the
usual Jug handle afair-all on one sIde as we
have no indications Of any falling of in the
Republican vote Of that State
