H STATE OF EAST TENNESSEE.


On Friday last Mr.. MATTHEWS, Of
Rlount county, offered q bill Ia the SEN
ate to create the State Of East Tennessee.
Mr. MATTHEWS, and those who believe
with him, might as well save themselves
any farther trouble in this business Of
creating 8 new State. Such q movement
would require not only the consent Of the
people Of the old and the new State, but
of Congress. As that body has already
manifested En indispOsition to lend itself
10 the proposed division OF Texas, for
reasons pertinent to the continued su-
premscy Of New England, it isnot likely
il will advance the ambitious views Of
Esst Tennessee Radical politicians, all
OF whom want to be United States Sena-
tors. New England fears the loss Of her
power in the Senate, and will not, there
fore, lend herself to the increase Of SEN
stors from q section Of country ia D
sitiOn to her interests. The state OF
East Tennessee" is 8 farce pretty well
played out.

THE RADICALS IN A aUANDaRY,

Tke Radicals of this State are IN q
quAndsry. The confessions Of RUrTER
and PARHAM, which just now they are
trying to invalidste, have operated 10 au
almost disintegrstion OF their party.
EDmities, personal and bitter, have
sprung up between the leaders; and
examinations and determinations are
daily widening the breach. FLETCHER
scarcely eoneeals his wish to lead away
from the party fold the unfaithful few
who coincide with him, and are opposed
TO BRowNLOw. He Is ambitious OF being
Governor, and Is suspected of a desire
TO play into the hands Of the Democracy:
indeed is sometimes charged with an ILL
disguised leaning TO our side, and with
purposes that, If carried out, must utterly
break up R2dlcalism in Tennessee.
Stokes Is regarded with suspicion and
mistrust, Radical as be is. The original
Union men OF the Radical party have
never been wholly reconeiled to him.
They look upon him as q man
utterly selfish, Is one prepared to
take advantage OF any changes
that may occur, such Is the pos
sibie acknowledgements OF our people,

posed to run for Governor. He has Con
gressIonsl aspirations and will be the
nominee of the r ideals of his District.
Others Of the " dominant faction" have
been suggested as possible candidates for
the gubernatorial office, but it is generally
conceded the race foE the nomination
will lie between FLETCHER and STOKES.
The former, ahaving broken completely
with the ''oId man" (BROWNLow), stands
little chance, even in opposition to
STOKES, and will more than likely be
defeated when it is expected he will
complete his programme and place him
self at the head Of the ticket OF the mod
crate Republicans. What chance
the Democracy has for success
under these circumstance. can
readily be OWNED. To prevent cur sue.

practice bat he should soon discover the fact,
and he could mako changes at any time in
that case. There was no difficulty about that.
The mon he had selected would not remain in
the Cabinet, he thought, if it was not agree
able. He had originally intended to write,
about week ago, to each gentleman whom ne
had fixed upon for Cabinet position. asking
him to serve, but he was glad he had not done
30. and now he would keep the whole matter
to himself until the appointments we're sent
to the Senate. That saved much trouble 70 o
him and to the gentlemen he meant to ca'l
acound him; but he had already made up his
mind.
He could send in the whole Cabinet at that
moment Still, he might at any time change
his mind; and 30 long as the names were
known to him alone. he oould do so without
offence to any one. HIS iIcautious uttsrance
to tho Pennsylvania politician the other day
had already given himself and others much
needless trouble. Some persons seem to take
i. for granted that he had designated Mr.
George d. Stuart for place. He had not
said any hing of the kind. and did not mean to
tell a6y one whether lie had or not, but as per-
sons had spoken .fgalnst MIR. Stuart, he wished
to say to the Pennsylvania gentlemen that Dir.
Stuart was loyal man during the war, and an
honorable man. That did not imply. however,
that he {Grant) would or would not appoint
him. The delegation then withdrew. :
