CONVENTIOS.

3 The West Tennessee Wing, in its last
ISSUE, under the caption "THE NEXT
GoyERyoR-GEs. JoHE c. BRowN, OF
GILks CoUNl'Y, says
In looking over the length and breadth
of the commonwealth of Tennessee, we
have selected the distinguished statesman,
patriot, warrior and gentleman whose
name stands at the head of this article,
as the one altogether worthy TO receive
by reclamation, the honor of presiding
over the destinies of the State during the
next two years.
The editorial of which this is the open
ing paragraph concludes: -..
Let those who seek the organization of
parties, and not the true interests of Ten
nessee and the South, call for that great en-
CINE of party machinery ga CopaUention,"
if they choose. Wen none of it. Those
who oppose the election of John c.
Brown may go into conventions to nomi-
nate candidates against him, but for our
selves, We intend to have nothing 10 DO
with them. The patriot, statesman and
soldier is good enough for US. 1-a--
Without the slightest reference to The
merits of the distinguished gentleman
whose name is thus prominently advanced
| by the West Tennessee organ, we must
say that we have never read so brief an
article which suggested so much argu-
ment against the position assumed by the
writer. The pith and substance Of the
Wings editorial is, that the Wig has
looked "over the length and breadth OF
the commonwealth of Tennessee from
Carter to Shelby, and having thus surveyed
the entire field ''wE," the Wig, have
selected the gentleman who is to have
'the honor of presiding over the dcstinies
of the State during the next two years.
| L am Sir Oracle; when ope my lips
let no dog bark. -f.I-F ''
/ Should there be any who would dare
to doubt the wisdom of this Sir Oracle
and appeal to convention to settle the
conflicting claims of the Democratic and
Conservative aspirants, Sir Oracle settles
the pretentious individual With waive OF
his hand and brief 'sWen none of it. .
Who would be in favor of convention
if he could thus play the part of War
wick here in Tennessee. If we could
, even in our most presumptuous moments
soar in thought to such a height, we, too,
led by that vaulting ambition which DER
leaps itself and falls on the other side,
might possibly presume to oppose con
Vention, and dictate to the people OF
Tennessee him who should have 'tht
honor of presiding over the destrnies o.
the State during the next two years.
But we have not yet arrived at that stage
of venerable" -ness which we are told Il
synonymous with slack of kindly
warmth, I" and must therefore consent tt
travel in the good old way of our Whis
and Democratic fathers.

TIE proposition introduced in the
United States Senate on the 30th ult. by
Mr. Hamilton, of Maryland, to tax Gov.
eminent bonds, though voted down by a
large majority, is likely to be an interest,
ing feature yet in our national politics.
1t seems an anomaly in great and power
full Government, that it should stoop to
tax every bunch of matches sold through
out the broad expanse of the United
States, and yet dares not touch the bonds
hid in the Golfers of those who deem il
more profitable to draw the interest repre-
sented by their coupons, than to invest
their money in works which would in
vigOrate trade and employ the working
men of the nation.

A STRANGER was brutally assaulted and
robbed in one of the streets of Philadel-
phis on Monday night, June q. On
Tuesday the highwayman was in the
hands of justice; on Wednesday the grand
jury returned true bill against him; on
Thursday he was tried, and sentenced by
Judge Ludlow to ten years Imprisonment
and fine, the amount of which is likely
to make him pass the rest of his life in
durance. This is the right sort of justice;
impartial, but speedy; severe, but saluta-
~, and we commend the action of Judge
Ludlow to the attention of Judges in thit
State.

THE action Of the United States Senate
in restoring the income tax, at reduced
rate, is said to have been brought about
by the railroad interest, which is resolved
to defeat the tax on gross receipts. 1t is
another proof of the tremendous and
most dangerous power which the railroad
interest wields-

SoMK of the well-informed Radicals at
Washington state that Grant is soon to
take decided step for the reorganization
OF his now somewhat demoralized party,
in anticipation of the conservative storm
which threatens from all quarters. 1t
was thought that he was preparing to
take that step during the recent fishing
excursion to Pennsylvania, but he plead,
"Just think of my head in the morning."

TuE New York Sun did not like the
idea of President Grant consenting to be
the guest of Mr.. Henry C. Bowen, the
publisher of the New York Independent
on the 4th of July. That paper says:
''ThIs is not q proper thing. The
President ought to have good deal of
social liberty, but he owes something to
the prophecies of his Office. Everybody
knows and instinctively feels that Mr.
Bowen is an unfit man for a President to
associate with. 1t is not necessary to say
specifically why, or to go into any details
about the matter. But we know very
well that when we make this statement
we make one to which all New York will
assent. OF course the President has the
power tG choose his own company, and
in this instance he chooses that which eY-
erybody else will willingly relinquish to
his exclusive enjoyment"
Now, what docs all this mean2

SOME fellow is wasting time and space
in one of the Boston papers in the vain
effort to write down the prevailing notion
that women ought to dress SO as to make
them attractive in appearance. The fell

Congress. This is equivalent to con-

ceding the Presidential election, always
determines the character of the coming

wholesome state, and to save our oppres-
sive revenue laws from repeal. Neither
would they probably, admit that his
principal object is to annex to the United
States the negro republic of San Domingo.
Some things Gen. Grant has done exceed
ingly well, but they are things of minor
moment; at least they are not such as
occupy much of the public attention.
Meantiwe, the popularity which carried
him 30 triumphantly into the Executive
chair has spent its force. There is no
quarrel between him and Congress, nei-
iher is there any ze-lous support given
him by its members. For the most part
they leave him to himself, and never
seruple to thWsrt his plans in the fear
that the people will take part with him.
The people are as little inclined as Con-
gress to look to him as party leader, nor
do they regret the negligence with which
Congress often treats his recommends
lions. 1sEgs .ezl @ zeszzu
These extracts from papers that have
been unfaltering in their support of Grant
and his administration are significant as
showing the increasing dissatisfaction of
the Radical leaders and journals with the
man they elected President solely on his
military record. That these two papers
should come out at this time in outspoken
censure of Grant cannot but be regarded
as one Of the most significant signs of tie
times. A dunderhead of the worst kind, he
has falsified the hopes of his most earnest
supporters. His disguised followers are
| now evidently calculating whether they
shall hold on to the Radical wreck, or
break loose from the man who has
brought the trouble upon them. l.ss3 p. s
