Carl Schurz, one of the Senators
from Missouri, is out in a strong
article ia the WeStliche Post of the
10th inst in favor of the re en-
reimbursement of the Rebels.
Speaking of Brownlow's card in
favor of the restoration of the right
of suffrage TO the white tax payers
of the State, he says:
"Wo rejoice TO see that old Senator
BrownlOw, with all his pugnacity and all
his prejudices, has shown such eminent
good sense in fully recognizing the logic
Of things. Let US hope that those, who
in former days 50 faithfully initiated his
anti-rebel zeal, will now also follow the
good example of his JudiciOus apprecia
tiOn Of changed circumstances"

Mr.. w. M. Wilhoite, OfCleveland,
writes to the Knoxville Wing, under
date of June Is, rs follows
owe propounded the following ques
tions TO Gov. Senter and Gen. Stokes at
Cleveland, Tennessee, viz Will you, If
elected Governor, recommend the calling
of constitutional convention of the
State for the purpose of amending, or
making new constitution; also the re-
neal of the law exempting negroes from
having poll tax They both answered
in the affirmative, except those that were
outlaws. SO you see that by voting for
Gov Senter or Gen. Stokes, the chances
for repesl of the franchise law is the
same"
In his speech at Knoxville he
came out unequivocally for a con
yention. In his speeches since then,
he has gone back on this posi-
ton, and is now as strongly for dis
reimbursement of "Rebels" as he was
when he declared in his letter to cor
tain East Tennessee members OF
the Legislature, ''emphatically, that
he is not. nor never has been, ana
don't know that he ever will be in
favor of universal suffrage" He
shifts his sails to catch the popular

oRIENANCEs T0 nE REmnpIEp

One Of the sore grievances of the
people of Tennessee has been the
want Of men in the Office Of regis
trar in the various counties, who
could divest himself Of political
prejudice and administer tho fran
chise law in the spirit of fairness,
As a general thing, the men who
have filled these positions have had
no regard for the rights of Others,
and were sustained in their course
by GOV. Brownlow. The registrar
for Henry county is fair specimen
of the men BrOwnlOw put in Office.
OF him the Paris htcHigcncer of
The 10Th inst. says:
We are reliably informed by some OF
our citizens, that Jim Guthrie, the pres
ent registrar for this county, does not re-
gard the late decision of the Supreme
Court, in reference to allowing all those
who obtained certificates from the cOun-
~ court clerk, 10 have them Teissued tu

low, these partisan registrars were

Gov Scntcr has publicly pledged
himself that this policy shall lie

registrar who does not administer
the law faithfully aud honestly aud
who refuses to recognise the late
decision of the Supreme Court, will
be displaced. Where registrars do
not thus discharge their duties, who
persist IN acting As Guthrie, OF
Henry county does, the citizens
should take immediate steps TO
place the facts before Gov. Scntcr
IN an authentic form, and we feel
quito sure their grievances will be
remodicd. Action should be
promptly taken by the citizens
wherever registrar maniicsts a

COL LEArHERnAN'S CANDIDAeY.

=
Col. d. M. Leatherman meets
with very little encouragement in
his gubernational aspirations. We
believe that no paper in the State
treats his candidacy with even
courtesy. The Memphis AUalaaehe
is particularly severe upon him.
1t will be remembered that his let
ter was addressed TO several gentle
men, among whom was Col. Gallo
way, placing those thus addressed
in the attitude of having been 10
correspondence with him, with .
view of inducing him to become q
candidate The Ap0lGHebe Of the
10Th inst. says i-F5 .di al. |
This impression places the senior edT-
tor Of the AU0IGache in false attitude
before the public, and it is due to Oursel I
and to many friends with whom We have
been in correspondence and conference,
| that we should make a proper eXplana-
ton. Our attention has frequently been
called to Col. Leatherman's letter, and in
abiding to it the Nashville Union and
Auericdn saws: ait is addressed 10
several gentlemen of Memphis, in re-
Spouse 10 letters from them on the sub

they should have given cOuntenance or
| encouragement to movement so unwlse
and impraeticable Indeed, we cannot
believe that Mr. Beatherman's candidacy
is seriously meant" We have had no
correspondence with Col. Leatherman,
and no communication Of any sort ex-
cept a telegram sent to him at little Rock
advising him not to become candidate.
There is nothing
in Col Leatherman's past or
| present position that should secure him
| the respect confidence or support of the
| people of Tennessee. He is an arrant
humbug. Like the yellow quadruped in
the menagerie, he is too small for lion,
| don't lock like tiger, and nobody wants
to see dog. In the recent judicial
l election he was prolific in promises, but
poor in performances. While the
Conservative party was spending
money, laboring and toiliDg and march

peace and the taxpayer, ID NJ. Leather
man basely deserted his standard aud
fed to the mountains of Hepsidam, and

betrayed treat his aspirations for Coy

vhc Railroads 0I the United Gt,tcs.
TIE wonderful development of the resources
Of the United States which has taken place
within the last balf'score OF years could only
have been accomplished by one means. With
out the aid of railroads, an immense stretch Of
country which is now under cultivation and
flied with dense and thriving population
would still have been wilderness. The States
OF the Union ale now, however, bound to-
gether with bands of iron, the old. fashioned
ideas OF time, space, and distance are annihi-
LATED, and st. Louis is practically as near to
Philadelphia as New York was thirty years
ago, and ere another year rolls round we may
expect to have San Francisco almost as our
next. door neighbor.
The Pacific Railroad, the greatest enterprise
of the age still remains sn unaccomplishel
distance remain to be bridged over, however,
and the last section of the road is being com
pleted so rapidly that by the beginning of
summer the great highway between the At
lantic and Pacific Oceans will be completed
and open for travel and traffic. The import
ance of the Pacific Railroad as national work
cannot be estimated. Hitherto We have b9sn
divided from the Pacific coast and California,
and the States west OF the Rocky Mountains
have been almost fOrsign countries, with
scarcely any interests or Affiliations to bind
them to the East. Not the least result of the
completion of the Pacific Railroad will be the
binding together of the East and the West
and consolidation of our empire. Scarcely less
important than this will be the trade of China
Japan, and the East Indies, which will natu-
rally traverse this continent and pour into
our laps the wealth that has hitherto baen
absorbed for the most part by Europe.
Ths wonderful rspidity with which ths
Union Pacific Railroad has been built is un-
exampled in the history of railroad enterprise.
An army of laborers has been employed, the
desert plains west of the Mississippi have
been crossed ths Rocky Mountains sur
mounted, and Salt Lake valley, the last rest
ing place of Brigham Young aud his disciples,
invaded; aud with the Central Pacific Road ad
vapcipg to meet it from the west, few weeks
will suffice to effect union and complete the
great work. The opening of the Pacific Rail.

gTa1.dest celebration of Independence Day We
