HON. EMKRs0N EraERIDGE.

We had only space in yesterdays
issue to refer in q line to the note of
the Hon Emerson Etheridge, in
which he peremptorily declines be-
ing a candidate for the Speakership
of the Senate.
The position is one of dignity
and honor, and no man in the
State could gil it more ably and
gracefully than Mr.. Etheridge; nor
is there one who moro deserves its
unanimous conferment by the
members of the body, as a testimo-
NAL to his brilliant and command
ing talents, and his self-sacrifcing
services in behalf of the cause whose
triumph he has SO largely contribu-
ted to secure. The presiding
officer of a legislative assembly,
however, is always more or less re-
strained from active participation
in the Observation-Disclosures at
least-of the body. In this view,
we do not regretthat Mr.. Etheridge
declines the post. The floor is his
field, and on it he will be Titan in
debate; while the Committee rooms
will be enlightened by his counsel
and experience. These qualities,
adorned with tho frankness, up
rightness and moral heroism which
illustrate career of public service,
now nearly quarter of century
since its commencement, fit him to
fill worthily:: any position the gift
of the people of Tennessee.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Etheridge,
however, does not leave the Senate
scant in material from which to
select Speaker, who will shed, as
well as receive, honor from the pc
sitioR. Not to speak of Others who
would make efficient presiding off
GERS, the Senate of no State in th'
Union can furnish men of superio-
legislative attainments to Bale
Peyton; Edmund Cooper, Henri,
Cooper, or Dorsey B. Thomas.

STOKES THREATS.

The ShelbyVlllo American hes
cue of the 18th inst, has the follow
ing paragraph:
Before the election the people were
told that if they voted for Senter and
elected him Governor that the State
would be converted into territory, and
that instead of civil we would have a
military governor put ever US. The
people were also threatened that if they
voted they would be indicted for illegal
voting, but since the election all has been
as silent as the grave. The victory has
been so complete, the numbers so over
wheming that the most ADVANTAGEOUS"
Of the Stokes tribe has not had the cheek
to hint such thing. 1t is pleasant to
see the lion ard the lamb lie down
together. 1t is indicative Of brighter
and more prosperous future"
Our Shelbyville contemporary
guesses well when it attributes Mr..
Stokes complete subsistence since
the election to the overwhelming
majority against him. Another fact
has operated TO keep him quiet.
His vote will fall below that cast for
Brownlow two years ago about %,
900, and below that for Grant last
fall about 5000. In twenty-four
counties in "loyal East Tennessee"
from which we have complete re-
turns, he falls behind the Brown
low vote 2,640, showing that
even the Radicals in that sec
ton, where Acknowledgement was
so popular at the opening of the
canvass, did not all vote for him
With such q record as the returns
make, Stokes is not simple enough
we think, to appeal TO the federal
government to interfere in our cleo,
ton to place him in power. 1t if
too clear that his own party did not
want him in the executive office OF
this State, for any outside interven-
ton. There is not even the pretext
that a majority under the BrOwnlow
registration voted~for him. He
threatened to have the actremoving
Gov. Senter's disabilities repealed,
and thus render him ineligible TO
the office of Governor. But he did
that when he was goaded to madness
by the prospect of defeat. lie has
suffered that defeat and has had
time to reflect upon his rashness
and folly, and he finds that not a
single Radical paper in all the
country advises him 10 attempt 10
carry out his threat. Mr.. Stokes
has learned a great deal from his
late canvass and the election, and
we think it safe TO predict that if he
should ever come before the people
of Tennessee again or any portion
of them, he will be more guarded
than he was in his late canvass.

The Cincinnati Gazette has per-
mitted its Nashville correspondent
to throw q column Of billingsgate
at this paper-his usual mode of
meeting an adversary who has
scourged him-because we have eX
posed his malignant misrepresenta.
tions of the people of Tennessee
who are net Radicals. The only
reply we have to make to the sour
rility of the Gazette is to quote its
correspondent on himself, and thu;
show him in his true character. Or
the 2Sth of June, while editor Of
the Press and Times, he said in an
editorial in that paper:
1--WE give you the full benefit o.
your disclaimer, and are entirely willing
to admit that, as a general thing, nc
ONE CAN TRUTHFULLY ACCUSE THE UNION
AND AMERICAN OF DISHONESTY OR DOUBLES
HANDED DEALING"
Again: in a letter to the Cincin-
natl Gazette, dated July %, after
he had ceased to edit the Press and
Times, he volunteered to say of the
UNION AND AMERICAN that it is Ga
journal which is RESPECTABLE IN
TONE and conducted with consider
able talent"
Why he has "gone back" on his
unbiased and unsolicited testimony
as to the character and standing OF
the UNION AND AMERICAN, we have
stated in the outset of this article,
We leave it to the Gazette to deter
mine whether a gentleman of q
nice sense of honor would be gull
ty of wilfully contradicting himself
as its correspondent has in what it
published the other day, and
whether such conduct does not
place him outside the pale Of hon
orable recognition.

THE ShelbyviIle American Res
cue calls attention to the quiet and
peaceable manner in which the cleo
ton passed off in Bedford county,
and states that It has never known
a better state of feeling to exist after
an election than has been shown by
the victors and the vanquished
& What that paper says of Bedford
viii apply to every county in the
State. The Radicals, both in and
out Of Tennessee, who were predict
ing trouble and that the carpet
baggers would be ordered away,
have been most grievously disap'
pointed. They would have glOried
in having election riots and North
ern men fleeing from the State fol
safety. Where men of anti Radios
notions rule, peace and order and
obedience to the laws constitute the
rule,

MISSIssIPPI-sOME PLAIN TALK TO
. GIANT.


GKANT.
1t is announced that Gen. Ames
has commenced removing judges
and other civil officers in Missis-
sippi who are identified with the
Dent movement. The administra-
ton has also commenced the work
of removing federal officers who
support Judge Dent for Governor.
There is no doubt but that the
whole power of the civil and militia
ny departments of the gov
eminent will be brought into
rcquisitiOn to defeat the Con-
servatives. 1t is gratifying
to know that the Conservatives
consider themselves strong enough
to carry the State against Grant
and his cabinet and military satrap.
They have strong hopes that the
interference OF the administration
will react as it did in Tennessee. In
this connection, we notice that G..
Gordon Adams, United States At
torney for the southern district of
Mississippi, and a prominent sup
porter of Judge Dent in that State,
has forwarded his letter of resigna-
tion to the President, in which he
says:
Though the Office is one of not much
Importance, / cannot retain it without
being identified to some extent with an
administration whose acts, 50 far as they
relate to my own State, cannot APP
prove. Major Wailord, an officer of the
Rebel army, who, in defiance of the con-
.umely and reproachi heaped upon him

Grant seems TO be unfortunate in
his encounters with men to whom
he is not personally known, and
some of his friends have been in
great tribulatiOn of late, because of
one or two unpleasant rebutfs our
great captain" has met with in
dealing with men who were not &C.
quainted with him. Not long ago,
a clerk in a restaurant at Washing
ton refused to give him a private
room in which TO take breakfast,
when the President returned from
one of his pleasure excursions
"early in the morning" and now we
are told that
at appears that the President, on a
casual passing from Long Branch 20 the
Hudson river summer residence of Sec
rotary Fish, had occasion, on Tuesday, to
call, alone, on business, at the Office of
the United Statet District Attorney, in
Chamber street The district attorney,
Judge Pierrepont, it seems, was out of
town, but to arrive at this fact, and the
further information as to when be would
be in the city, the President was subjec-
ted to several very curt, not to say rude,
replies from one Of Judge Pierreponts
assistants.
The Chicago Times suggests that
Grantbe labeled when going among
strangers, in order that he may re-
ceive tho attention and Difference to
which his office entities him. AS
it seems to be his fate to meet with
incivility from strangers with
whom he is brought in contact, it
is more reasonable to suppose, says
the Times, that the fact is not
owing so much to their tompers and
habits as to his own surly and in-
significant countenance. No one
would suspect Grant to be anything

else than he seems, and he seems to
be a man inspiring dislike and sus-
picion.z For this the clerk at the
restaurant and Pierrepont's assist
ant were not responsible.

A Change.

By reference to the Republican Ticket
at the head of this column it will be seen
that the name of E. A. Spencer, candidate
for Secretary of State, has been withdrawn,
and the name of Llywelyn Breese, Of Co.
lumbia county, substituted. This has
been brought about by the discovery that
some S7,93586, received by Mr.-Spencer
for licenses grantedHsome two ago, had
never reached the Treasurer. Upon Mr..
Spencer being questioned in regard to it,
he acknowledged that he had retained it
in his possession, for the purpose of draw
ing interest upon it. He declares that he
had no intention Of defrauding the State
out Of it, and on the 9th inst. paid the
whole amount into the treasury. The
State has thus lost nothing but the use Of
the money. But the Republican State
Central Committee, being in session, were
of the opinion that Mr.. Spencer's conduct
was sufficiently reprehensible to forfeit the
confidence of the people, and requested
him to voluntarily withdraw, which, after
some hesitation, he did. The place being
vacant the committee filled it by the APP
pointment of Llewelyn Breese, of Colum-
bia county.
The action Of the Republican State Com
mittce is eminently sound, and will receive
the full endorsement Of the party and the
people. The Republican party, unlike the
old Democratic party, will not uphold and
support defaulters and betrayers of public
trust, and when their actions come to light
they are Immediately dismissed, and more
worthy men put in their places.
Mr.. Breese is Welshman by birth, bu,
has resided in this State many years. He
has repeatedly held the office of treasurer
of his own county, and other important
and responsible positions, and has estab.
lished a character for integrity, honesty
and efficiency, that is above reproach 1t
will be remembered that he was candi-
date before the convention for State Treas
urer, and &C one time was fairly nominated,
but the ballot was declared foul, on &C
count Of there being few more votes cast
than there were members in the conven-
ton, and another vote taken, which result
ed differently. Mr.. B. is immensely pop.
ular, and there was some dissatisfaction at
his defeat, which his position on the ticket
for Secretary Of State will allay. His
nomination is ia deserved recognition OF
the faithful services which the Welsh have
always rendered the party, and will greatly
strengthen the ticket, especially in this
part of the State
