A Peu-Piciure of Messrs. Stokes and
Senter

These two names are now prominently
before the country as candidates for the
Gubernatorial chair of Tennessee. A
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gasett,
thus describes them:
The contrast between the two speak.
ers is very marked. 'Senter is young,
between thirty-tive and thirty.six, a
little above medium height, broad, and
rather inclined to be portly; black hair
and beard, aud full and forid face,
which tells of love for the good things
of the world. No anchOrite, evidently.
Though comparatively young man, he
has had much political experience, hav-
ing been in public life almost constant
ly since he was twenty one years of age
Stokes, on the contrary, is thin and
spare, slight figure, little stopped,
bald crown, smooth and cOlorless face,
beak like nose, and general contour both
of face aud figure, which, at times,
seems decidedly biTd-like, and recalls
forcibly the familiar SOubriquet by which
he has been so widely known i'll this
canvass. He is probably fifty or over,
and has had long experience OF public
life, including that of State legislator
and a member of Congress, aud is ex
ceedingly skillful in political warfare.
Senter uses the most correct and ele-
CANT language of the two. Stokes
makes more grammatical mistakes and
uses more inelegancies of expression,
but in the art of pleasing a.crowd, of
eliciting their cheers and their laughter,
of dexterously using an anecdote or an
effective slang expressions, he has de-
cidedly the advantage of his younger
opponent.

The New York Tribune finds matter
for rejoicing in the fact that the income
tax expires by limitation after one more
payment. 1T would be difficult" the
Tribune says, "to devise another tax so
unequal, so widely evaded, or so con-
dusive to fraud and perjury, as this is
There is one thing about it, however,
which the Tribme entirely omits men,
ton: A large proportion of it is
levied upon people who are able to
pay, In this respect it is decidedly
unlike the great bulk of the taxes
levied under the internal revenue laws.
There has been marvellous ingenuity
displayed in so arranging our entire sys-
tenn of taxation that its heaviest bur
dens fall mainly upon the industrial
classes The income tax is in some de-
gree an exception to the rule and in
mat Is probably found the inequality
ot which the Tribune complains. West
ern consumers would be very glad to
know that some of the onerous taxes
upon the necessaries of life, imposed for
the advantage of Eastern mapufactur-
ers would terminate as soon as the tax
on incomes.

The "Test Oath" in Virginin

General CASBY, in a letter TO the
New York Time, insists that the MEM
bers elect of the Virginia Legislature
must take the "iron-clad." The COnsti-
tuition just adopted requires no such
oath. In similar case, that of Geor-
gia, General GRANT directed that the
oath prescribed in the reconstruction
acts should not be required of members
of the Legislature. Here are his words,
taken from his letter of instruction to
General MEADE:
"The officers elected under the new
Constitution of Georgia are not officers
of the Provisional Government referred
to in the Reconstruction acts, nor are
they officers elected under any so-ca)led
State authority, and are NOT, therefore,
10 take the oath prescribed in section 9,
act of July -, 1867"
General CANBY'S position is that the
WALKER Virginia Government will be
"provisionar until recognized by Con-
sress. But one of the conditions of that
recognition is the ratification of the
Fifteenth Amendment, and Govern
ment that is merely provisional cannot
legally ratify Constitutional Amend
ment. The Times does not wish to "sit
in Judgment" on CANBY's motives, but
takes occasion to intimate that he is a
mere tool in the hands of WELLS. Here
is its opinion:
The moral strength OF General Can
by's position is weakened by suspl-
cious identity of opinion and purpose
between his order and the tactics which
the defeated party threaten TO employ.
1t is very clear that if the "iron. clad"
is forced upon the Virginia Legislature
it will be for the purpose of serving the
proscriptionists. General CANDY never
hinted an intention to require that oath
until the canvass was SO far advanced
as to indicate WELLS defeat, and at the
same to allow of no substitution of cam
didates who could not swallow the
''iron-clad" for. those who could. The
carpet-bag crowd know that not a
quorum of the members elect are eligible
under CANBY's requirement; that with
ont n quorum there can be no ratitca-
ton; that Congress will hold Nir-
ginia responsible for her failure to
ratify and continue the WELLS gang in
power, or have new election for MEM
bers of the Legislature, at which they
may find means to succeed.
All who sincerely desire to see Nir-
ginia restored will be pleased to see the
Administration overrule this iniquitous
decision of CANBY. Those who think
only of making party capital out of
GRANTS blunders would prefer him to
approve that decision. Such approval
would throw upon the Radical party the
responsibility for keeping Virginia dis
organized after all her honest comph-
ance with Congressional stiPulahons.
That responsibility would meet them in
the Fall elections, in such portentious
shape as to leave little doubt of the re-
sult

ing in relation to the case of young
DooLITTLE and VAN WINKLE, arrested
in New York for frauds in the Custom
House in that city:
A son of ex Senator DoOlittle, of Wis
cOnsin, and q son of Senator Van Win
kle, of West Virginia, appointed each
to place in the New York Custom
House at the close OF Andrew Johnson's
impeachment trial, have been, with
some other parties, accused of defraud-
ing the Treasury. We are glad to re-
port that on his examination before
Commissioner White, Mr.. Doolittle has
been honorably discharged, and we hope
that Mr.. Van Wrinkle will be able to
make as clear case of "not guilty"
These appointments of the sons of out
side Senators to the New York Custom
House, of any party, are not exactly the
thing, anyhow; and if such parties come
to be convicted of frauds, it will at least
operate to break up this vicious system
of distributing the spoils. In the cases
in question there has doubtless been
some malicious persecution; but still
the spoils system involved is dcmoral-
IlZlng.

certainly been astounded il not seriously
alarmed by the nomination of ROSE
GRAMS. They expected to conduct the
pending canvass upon the war issues
strictly. The old rallying cries Of "Cop-
perhead, !" Traitor, and "Rebel," were
to have been revived. There was to
have been rshash of rebellion records
and peace platforms. The dead fire.
eaters were to have been resurrected to
fright the soul of fearful "loyalty."
With treason for the text, YAILANDIG'
HAM, JEFF. DAVIS and WADE HAMPTON
for frightful examples, and Anderson
vile and Libby Prison for inspiration,
the design was to rekindle all the old
war hate and prejudice, and to heat up
the Buckeye State with the flames of
popular passion. The nomination of
RosECRANs has fallen like a flood upon
the "loysl' magazine and completely
frustrated the impending pyrotechmcs.
1t won't do to howl "Butternut" at
one of the first of the fighting soldiers
of the Union. 1t won't do to charge
with treason" the man who kept LEE
out of West Virginia and thus saved
Ohio from robel incursions. The Grand
Army of the Republic has no oaths to
prevent its members from voting for
the Democratic nominee. The stay-at-
home "loyal leaguers" can offer no
reasons for opposing soldier whose
campaigns adorn the brightest pages of
the war history devoted to West Vir-
ginia and the Southwest. The files of

capital out of his public or private rec
ord. His nomination has turned the
edge of the only weapon left to Ohio
Radicals. They can't fight him, and,
therefore, won't beat him.
The Radical journals of that State try
to find relief for their perplexity in re-
viewing letter of his written during
the war, denouncing the Democracy,
aud in reproducing articles from Demo
cratic papers criticizing that letter.
They forget their own lengthy COM
mendation of his public services; while
they are vainly trying to find in Demo.
cratic journals a single reason why
Democrats should not support him, their
own columns furnish a score of good
ones why Republicans should give him
their votes.
They also ignore the fact that the
Democratic party is party of progress.
The Democracy are ready to support men
who are with them on existing issues,
no matter what may have divided them
in the past. The Republicans weuld
like the Democrats to overlook present
coincidence of views, and fight men for

dozen years old. The Democrats will
do no such thing. They propose to deal
with no dead issues. Their measures
look to the future, not to the past.
