Fall Elections.

Animated contests among the Radical
leaders are going on in some Of the
States for the honors to be bestowed in
the elections next fall. In. Maine a
United States Senator is to be chosen as
the successor OF, MORRILL,, and several
contestants are in the field for
his shoes. OF course MORRILL, wants
to hold on if he can, but formidable OPP
ponents will spring up in the persons of
Speaker BLAINE, Governor CHAMBER
LAIN, and Governor ISRAEL WAsHBrRNE,
Jr. 1t is immaterial to us who comes
off victor, as he will doubtless be he
publican, and down in that Goldfish eoun-
try there isno choice between such evils.
In Vermont also lively discussion
is going on as to the Republican candi-
date for Governor. Those most promi-
nently put forward by their friends and
themselves are, Hon. julius CONVERSE
and Francis BILLINGS, from what is
known as the "West Side" and Hon \.
L. MINER and Governor HENDEE
from the East Side" Hon. JOHN w.
STEWART is also in the field as middle
man. OF course nothing good can come
out of such Radical Sodom as Yer
mont, and as she fell short last year
two thousand in the birth Of children,
it is to be hoped the decline will con-
tinue until better race Of politicians is
importedt to occupy and govern that little
State.
In Ohio both parties have actively
begun the canvass for the State cleo
ton, which takes place on the second
Tuesday in October The Republican
Convention is called for the 10th day of
August, and the Democratic Conven-
ton for the 10Th Of June The State
officers to be chosen are Secretary of
State, Judge Of the Supreme Court,
Member Of the Board of Public Works,
and Controller. The greatest interest,
however, centers in the members of
Congress. 1t is understood that Messrs
SCHENCK, WNANs, UPsoN, GARFIELD,
BINGHAM, AMBLER, and perhaps others
on the Republican side, are candidates
for reelection, as, also, Mr.. CESSNA,
Democrat. Judge WELKER, of the
Fourteenth District, declines a re-nomi-
nation, and Hon. JAMES MONROE, Of
Oberlin, is urged to succeed him.
! The Radicals of course claim a great
victory and boast "solid negro vote OF
five thousand" The Democrats, how
ever, will ably contest every inch Of the
ground, and can only be defeated 10y the
new colOred element which has been
thrust into the field.
In this State our readers are well
aware Of the character of the battle to
be fought. The Democratic nomina-
tons will be made on the Sth of June
and the Radicals on the 22d of the
same month. The contest will be
fought on the naked issue Of expelling
from power the corrupt men and party
that have imposed arbitrary and tyrani-
cal laws upon our people, stripping
them of rights and privileges which
they have been mean enough to accord
to the negro with a liberal hand. Tn
less a majority OF our people have lost
much of that spirit and determination
which insult and oppression generally
kindles in the breasts of good and brave
men, the result in this State will be the
expulsion of the Radical money
changers from the temple of power, and
the substitution of honest and liberal
men in their places.

The great prize fight in New Orleans
between.the two champions, ALLEN and
MACE, terminated yesterday in victory
to the latter OF course public interest
has been on tiptOe and the spectacle
was witnessed by large concourse OF
people as all such exhibitions have been
since Rome was city. Is our
civilization much advanced over
that of other countries and other gener-
atoms? We boast of it, but we don't
present many favorable evidences. The
MCFARLAND trial and a prize fight ex-
cites more public interest than do the
Ecumenical Council at Rome, the South
ern Methodist Conference at Memphis,
or the Episcopal Diocese to assemble in

FITCH, colored citizen of New York,
recently made speech to his brethren
in that city, in which he cautioned
them against voting "too often" onthe
same day, and demanded, as their share
of the Offices, that negro should be
nominated for the position of Lieutenant
Governor. We hope the Republican
Executive Committee of this State will
stick pin here, and while they bestow
the second office Of this State upon one
of their colored brethren, they will not
forget to caution his race not to vote too
often on the same day.

The Reconstruction Of
Tennessee.

= =. - e
The following press dispatches
from Washington show that the
Radicals are not hopeless Of again
putting us back into~a territorial
condition:
Information, received tonight,
direct from Tennessee. states that
the leading Radicals of that State,
including most of the delegation
in the present House, bend to
revive the question of rs recon.
struction for the purpose of>dis.
franchising the greater part OF
the class who were enfranchised
by the Senter Constitution. The
question of reconstructing the
State is now pending before the
Reconstruction Committee Of the
House. 1t is also learned that
some of the defeated Republican
candidates for Congress intend to
contest the seats Of the elected
Democrats. This is especially
the case with Congressman Pros
SET, WHO was defeated in the
Nashville district.
The Louisville Courier Journal
commenting upon the above says:
Tie information which our
Washington correspondent sends
us concerning the meditaled recon
strnction of Tennessee, has tone
in it familiar enough 10 be pleasing
but tor the "reminiscences and sug.
gestions which it calls up out OF
the dismal past nd throws across
the Frightening pathway of the
present aud the future. We do
not regard the subject very seri
nusly, however, as a probable con-
sequence of the defeat of Stokes,
Prosser and Jerusalem Smith. =
That they should talk largely,
and that they will make much
ado when Congress meets, are cir
cumstances SO naturally charac
teristic that they obscure the
otherwise sensational nature of
our telegram. But there is not
much danger to he apprehended
by the people of Tennessee from
their lefty schemes and wind,
talk. They will doubtless wind
up with a little sop of Federal
charity.

SChenck Contests,

Like most Radicals when they
are fairly beaten by the votes
of the people, Schenck, just
beaten by Campbell forC Congress
in Ohio, has sig.nalized his in
tention to contest the election,
knowing full well that a Radical
Congress will ignore the will OF
The people, and forcibly give him
mis- seat. The Chicago Tribune,
the leading Radical organ of the
West, don't like the dose and
thus protests:
''To contest an election, in
which one is fairly beaten, is a.
boutthe smallest business that a
politician can engage in. 1t is
mailer business than we SUP
posed General Schenck would
ever engage in. Asregards the
glounds OH which it is proposed
o contest the election in his dis
trict, viz, that the inmates OF
he soldiers home at Dayton
we're not allowed to vote, it is.to
oe observed that Gen. Schenck
and his friends in Congress
thought they had no right to vote
,or they prepared and passed a
Dill, in the House Of Representa-
ives, during the last session, TO
enable them to vote, but it fail
ed to pass the Senate, and, the. e.
fore, did not become a law.
Ii we mistake not, the SUI
preme Court of Ohio decided u
unanimously that the inmates of
The soldiers home, unless they
were bona tide residents of the
district before their admission
to the asylum, were not entitled
to vote at the state elections.
AS the constitution Of the Uni
ted States established the same
qualific atoms for election of
Representatives in Congress as
those of electors of the most
numerous branch of the state
Legislature, it follows that the
ruling of the Supreme Court of
Ohioapplies to elections fmem-
bers OF Congress as we'll as to
state elections. e.

Soldiers at tho Polls.

A despot is never in want of a
prctext for his crimes. Under
pretence of executing an act of
Congress, President Grant employ
ed the Federal army to cont,ol
S ate elections. He first assumed
Ithsttaeact weu'd beresistedb blythe
people Of ''loyal' State; that t he
authorities of the State would Ell
ther lie unwilling or unable, or both,
to prevent or overcome that re-
sistance; and then acting altogeth-
er upon this double hypothesis, he
accumulated large military force
in and around New York city to
be in readiness to suppress an im-
aginary instruction. all history
shows that ~ rants can, when they
will, make occasions for the eXer-
else of arbitrary power, and Grant
is weak enough to think that the
people OF this country cannot ar
will not see through his transpar
ent purpose to maintain the lut
oi his party by means of a,mili. a.
ry dcspotism, while he allows
them TO enjay the mere forums OF
an elective government. His mis-.
take, as we'll as his wrong, con-
sists in anticipating the extremity
In which alone he can lawfully
employ the troops of the Republic
in Tie suppression Of domestic
violence" While his folly and his
wickedness. are both enhanced by
the danger that he will create the
very occasion which he only makes
believe to dread and be prepared
for III order TO provoke it. There
was no reasonable probability OF
riot in New York during the
election, or at least no riot which
the local power would moi be both
able and disposed to suppress
And it is positively certain that
any popular uprising there, how
ever originated, which the local
authorities would not be capable
of putting down, could not be
queIled by the whole present mill
tary force OF the United States ii
acting alone in any such emergen-
cy, much less if acting against the
people and the authorities OF the
city of New York, to say nothing
.of the rest Of the State. What
nonsense, what madness it is, then,
for the President to be preparing
to quell ariot which he could not
quell if it arose, and which proba-
bly, would not arise if he did not
prematurely and preposterous!y
pr pare to quelI it. To a civil
disorder OF the kind supposed, two
opposing forces are essentially nee
ersary. Pence is best presr, we'd
by keeping them asunder. Why
jhen hling them together, when
the mischief TO be cured by their
:orjnnctiop, may he averted by
their remaining apart?
