The" Ring" seems to be In much tho
ssme condition as those parties mentioned !,
in the Scripture, who were desirous Of en-
tering a certain place, hut " could not get IN
because Of the Press" With the a.ne rev.
crential liberty that inspires tho Masonic
Order to trace their origin 10 john The Dap-
list, the press may claim the benefit Of this
earliest tribute on record to their presence
and influence. But seldom arc Inortals 30
hard driven to secure tho influence OF the
press as tho Ring. Others have boldly
cultivated tho friendship Of the presa by
Gaming or shooting sll adverse editors 9th
ers, in awe, perhaps, Of the Italian habit Of
Keeping uounsaineez bandit in the sanc-
tum as fighting EDITOR have deemed it
better to buy than bully tho press. But the
Ring bavo undertaken to get one
newspaper to support their ticket
by rep1evying it. Tho AI1d-
Zeilung, the German evening paper Of Chi
cago, having announced itself for tho Citi~
zens' ticket, subordinate In the Police
Court, who was formerly one Of the Direc.
tors Of the -A6ead- Zoitung. now comes foz.
ward, Claims to have been illegally dis-e1ect-
ed, gets mp new Board of Directors in
the interests Of the Ring, and In the name
Of the new board gives bonds and scplevies
the -ibtnt- Zeisung, empties the type!
into a pail, and carts off tht
whole establishment except tho Cub
Lcription lists, and locks it up. Al
the process Of replevin ia one by which
any person willing to give the bonds cas
se,ze any personal property in Chicago, ant
bold it until counter bonds are given, il ii
no way depends on even a claim Of title
but simply on the pluck Of the bondzmen
Meanwhile, however, the publishers Of th

ever. Tho motto Of the Ring seems to b.
"H you want Primary Conventions, stu

i very audncious, and all rery dno but

Nothing in the Constitution Of the United
States requirca that Senator shall be q
resident Of the State for which be is chas-
en-. Hence there is no constitutional rea-
son why Mr. Greeley could not with pro-
psiety decline 10 be elected Senator from
v1rgnia. As either the New York Sun or
some of the sons Of V1rginia havo hinted at
Lis probable election to that office, his
declination nns ut any moment be e1pected.
Virginia, it il true, is very short Of 6ena-
toriaI timber ut present; and as there is,
by some singular oversight, NO protective
duty On the Importation Of foreign Sena-
tors into the State, it is not unnatural that
New York, with its greater capital and ma
chinery for tho production Of legislators,
may ovezwhelm the domestic indus
try m Virginia in department
Of industry IN which Of lnte she haa grown
somewhat rusty and wurm-eaten. It would
be sad, however, to see the mother Of Presi-
dents reduced to SO low stage that she
SHOULD be compelled to 50 abroad for hex
Senators. There ought 10 be some protec,
ton to the domestic article, at 1east to the
extent Of charging double railroad fare and

States through which that river ira
verses, will meet ct Chattanooga. Dele
cations from various points in Tennessee
have been appointed and viii be present,
bui, from present indications, our own
city is not likely to be represented. AT
least there has not yet been any meeting
for appointing delegates, nor have the
suggestions OF the press on the subject
seemed to awaken 8 local interest in the
matter.
The Commercial. Bulletin of New York
4ays Of our Southern Pacific Railroad:
The Memphis, FL Paso and Pacific
Railroad bill will be introduced into both
H0uses of Congress very Oon We trust
that tbis road will receive the hearty
support of every Southern member OF
Congress, and we know OF no project that
win be Of greater advantage to the South
ern States.
The Courier Journal says of our
levees:
We can have little patience with any
movement on the part OF Congress TO
promote, by pecuuiary appropriations or
other means, internal Improvement pro-
ieefs In any port of the United States so
long as nothing Is done by the Federal
Government for the repair Of the levees
OF Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas,
and the consequent redemption Of the
vast tracts OF the richest and most lux
urIsnt cotton and sugar lands now sub
ject to overflow Ia those States. This is
= matter that ~imperatively demands,
that demands more imperatively than
any other, the Governments first
aud most earnest attention. The
Government, in refusing or neglect
ing 90 attend to 1t, scsndslously
.disregards the greet Interests OF the cOEn-
as q whole s. well as the peculiar In
Of the great States regarded as
concerned. The true mo-
