A ToUaH CAsE.-In Arkansas, Elder
Knapp, while baptizing converts at a re-
vival meeting, advanced with wiry, sharp
eyed old chap, into the water. He asked
the usual question, whether there was any
reason why the ordinance of baptism should
not be administered. After q pause, tall,
powerful looking chap, with an eye like n
blaze, who was leaning on long rifle and
quietly looking on, remarked: "Elder,
don't want to interfere in this yere business
sny, but want to say that is an old sim
ner you have got hold of, and I know that
one dip won't do him any good If you
want to get the sin out of him you'll have
to anchor him out in deep water over
night"

The political outlook in Tennessee, accord
ing to dispatch dated at Nashville on the
l4th. to II Cincinnati paper, is presented az
follows;
a lengthy special from Nashville says: ''The
widest dreamer could hardly have imagined.
two months ago, that such an extraordinary
change in public sentiment and the political
situation i'll Tennessee would have occurred
AZ has taken place since then. This has been
nominally brought about by the fierce and vio-
lent discussion III the Radical party here by
the pressure of the increasing toleration and
hberality which prevailed throughout the
country. Before the party strife can be healed
up, Radicalism will have lost its power in
Tennessee, and this bids fair to be an accom-
Plished fact before many months few
weeks ago the friends of immediate franchise
wore satisfied, and had tacitly agreed to sup
port for the Legislature, Republicans who
were committed to the early removal of politi-
cal disability. Since then, however, the swift
current of public events, involving the demor-
alization of the extreme Radicals, and the
liberal system of registration, has so shaped
the course of the opposition, that full-hedged
Conservatives are likely to be nominated for
the Legislature i'll most of the counties, with a
reasonable show of success i'll majority of
cases. The fact that in some counties there
are half dozen Radical candidates. with con-
tention and an uncompromising spirit, rem
ders 1t the easiest thing i'll the world to slip in
Conservative, and this implies the election
of Andy johnson to the United States Senate
Matters have now gone so far in the suffrage
extension direction, and the impetus is still so
strong, that retrogressiOn is something III the
nature Of nn impossibility--a fact which will
still further embolden the Conservatives in
the programme they have marked out This
is how things look at present; but, even with
the election of a Conservative to the Legisla-
ture, it is reasonably certain that no Legisla-
tive action would be attempted to deprive
the blacks of any civic or political rights which
they now enjoy"

Nor SATrsrrED.-Forney is not at all pleased
with the result of the election i'll Virginia, and
thus discourses of the situation:
But all is not lost in Virginia. Congress
holds the key of the citadel. The rebel Dem
ocrats may boast that they have carried their
candidates, but there is an ultimate remedy.
Colonel Walker and his friends. who declare
they are still Republicans, have assumed the
responsibility. 1t is for them to show the
the country that they do not intend to destroy
the new constitution after the manner of
Georgia and Maryland. 1t is for them to
show that they do not ask Virginia's 3 readmis-
sion into the Union only to restore her to the
men who have no higher mission than to per-
secutc every citizen, white and black. who
supports the Republican party. Coming to
| Congress as they will, with professions of Re
Publicanism on their lips, we hope they will
take such II stand as will prove that in tho
late election they were not willing parties to
plot to restore that State to its old rebel mas
| ters.
