err il would not be better to make
friends with Judge Chase once again.
with a view to running him for Prcsi-
dent in 1872. The fact is, that On the
essential doctrine Of Republie1nism,
as it stands to-day, there is ne man In
the country soupder than Judge
Chase. He is a Republican, and not a
Democrat. I'VE mean, Of course, the
GREAT uruciple of universal suffrage
&c set forth I'm the Fifteenth amend
ment. Opposition to that principle a
considerable body of clamorons, stu
mid old Bourbons, who have NICKNAME
ed themselves Democrats, propose to
make the main issue in the next Pres
idential campaign and who SO fit to
lead the Republicans. i'm such a fght
as Salmon p. Chase?
But even this does not constitute
the most powerful among the motives
which. are leading so many intelligent
Republicans to look to the Chief JUS
tice as possible candidate for 1877.
The great reason is that Judge chase
can certainly be elected This rem
ders the movement we are speaking
of one of the notwithstanding ever de-
veleped in our political history. 1t
may not result in the actual nomina-
ion of the Chief Justice by, the Re-
publican party, because there are plen-
ty of Bourbons in that organization as
we'll as among the Democracy. But
it artords a most impressive illustra-
ton of the present rather chaotic state
of politics among us, and OF the search
ty of commanding talent and popular
availability, that any number OF Re
should perceive that they
cannot possibly be SO safe with any
other candidate as with the Chief
Justice. ~.

q A RESOLUTION introduced in the nj.
K. General Conference now assem-
bled at Memphis, by DR.. Hamilton, OF
Mobile, on the 2lst inst, proposing to
elect two additional bishops, produced
an extended debate by Drs. Munroe,
of Missouri, Lee, of Virginia, Mar
shall, of Mississippi, and Binkley, of
Texas, in favor Of the resolution, the
latter mtimating that, unless this was
done, Texas and the West would Sc
cede; and Drs. Evans, of Georgia,
Winfield, of Arkansas, and Andrews,
of Alabama, in opposition. The lat
ter said this was but move in the
direction of Diocesan territories.
Bishop Paine, in behalf of the bishops,
explained the views of the bishops on
the subject, setting forth that they had
done their work but, in view of the
fact that five new conferences had
been added, they would agree to an
additional bishop, but would acqui-
escc in the action of the conference if
two was asked. Under. the opera
lions of the previous question sub
stitute for one bishop was adopted by
ITO to 102. On motion of DIR. An
drew. the order of business was sus-
pended, and the conference at noon
proceeded to vote for the bishop by
ballot. The following is the result of
the first ballot: J. G.. Keener, of Lou
isiana, 50; j. a. Duncan, of Virginia,

More Preacher Whipping

The Radicals of Blount County,
East Tennessee, are still engaged in
their favorite psstinle of whipping
and otherwise maltreating ministers
of the gospel. Their latest outrage is
thus detailed in the MaryviIle Re-
publican, the county paper, edited by
a colored man:
We learn that on last Sabbath a
Southern Methodist minister, the Rev.
III. NJ. Bays, young man of true
christian piety and irreproachable
character, was threatened with mob
violence, by band ofradicals, led by
VIM. Goddard, father of Capt Elias
Goddard, Cbancery Court Clerk for
Blount county, if he attempted to fiji
an appointment at Logan's Chapel on
that day.
Itappears that Mr.. Bays had preach
ed oEce before at the Chapel, and on
last Sabbath, accompanied by his wife
and Mr.. Alex. Kennedy, ST., and
daughter, proceeded to the church,
where they were confronted by the
mob. and MIR. BAYS Informed that he
could not preach there. When he AMI
Mr.. Kennedy undertook to reason
with the leaders of the mob, they
made such hostile demonstrations that
the party returned to the residence OF
Mr.. Kennedy. 1t is thought that the
persence of the ladies only prevented
Mr.. Bays from the fate of Rev. Jacob
Smith, who was taken from his horse
and numerically beaten by q band Of
radical Ku Klux, near Logan's Chap
ell last year. 80.
We have not given the revolving
| details of this affair, as we wish to ge'
possession of the real facts in the case
free from prejudice and partizan feel
ing. In our next issue we will give
our readers n full report of the whole
proceeding. -.
Language cannot express our alb
horrence and deep detestation oft hi
spirit oflawlessness, that has disgra
coed our country at home and abroad

this section, and kept alive the demo

as tie two above mentioned. We
quote portion of the Tobacco Leafs
article:
We announce our decided prefer
ence among those who have been de-
clared candidates, for Col. Turner OF
Gailatin and Hon. A. D. p. Nicholson
of Columbia. We have decided TO
support these gentlemen, because IN
our opinion they combine, purity OF
character, irmness ofpurpose, natural
ability, legal acumen and great re-
search in a high dcgree-quailti,es
which fit them for position on the
Supreme bench. ~, agas ;,
Col: Turner was graduate of the
Lebanon law school and practiccd law
before the war at Gallatin as part
ner of Col. Head where he stood very
high i'm his profession. AT the COM
mcncement of the war he entered the
army and was captured at Fort Dom
elson. He served with distinction to
the close of the war. Since the war
he has been quietly pursuing his pro-
fession at home.
In the constitutional convention OF
which lie was a memberhe was dlstln-
guished for his conservatism, ana ms
enlarged and liberal views placing
him in marked contrast with some OF
those who were on the other SIDE DUR
ing the war. 1900
Col. Turner is learned lawyer,
indefatipable in research, firm as
rock. and berond suspicion as a man
of pure motives and incorruptible
honesty.
OF lion. A. o. p. Nicholson it is
necessary to speak since his
position in politics, as United States
Senator before The war made him
known to most of our neople.
1t may not be generally known
however that he is one of the first law
yers in the State, and that he has been
and successfully engaged in
his profession since the war. He in
every way qualified to fill the place of
Caruthers, or Turley, or Green.
We have spoken of Col. Turner
more at length because having been
engaged in his profession solely he has
had fewer opportunities of becoming
known outside of his Circuit.
AS to the peculiar shades of politi-
cal opinion of these gentlemen we care
we only know that they are
of the people of Tennessee, identified
with her in her struggles, sorrow and
joy, understanding her jurisprudence
and the spirit of her ancestry, as well
as the growing and progressive wants
of her children, they wilt always be
found at their posts as the natural
guardian of liberty, prompt, decided
and fearless. -4.ry- er

the Presidency.
IFrom the New York Sun.

=
As long as George III. Thomas was
alive, the Republicans had sure cam
didate for the election of 1872. No
other man could have beaten him.
The masses of the people were for
him. the Radicals honOred and trus-
ted him, and the Conservatives would
have rallied around him with enthus-
iasm. His nomination would have
been equivalent to his election.
Since the death of this great man
the bewildered leaders of the Repub-
lican party have been vainly scanning
the roll of their Presidential asplrants
for a name to fill the place made void
hy the fall o. Thomas. The list has
become hackneyed and stale, and
bears the name of no statesman who
has any such hold upon the conf
dcncc of the people as the crisis de-
mands. Some shallow politicians
believe that Grant will be taken, but
no disinterested person with sense in
his noddlc supposes that Grant can
be available. Gen. Grant himself, of
course. does not think anything is
the matter with his prospects; and
what dispenser of patronage, BREATH
ing the incense OF adulation, ever
could be made to sec that his role was
pIayed out, till the fall of the re-
morscless curtain shut out all hope
for the future? Franklin Pierce, ra-
thera shrewd politician, aud not oyeT
sancuinc. could not be made TO be-
lieyc that the Democracy were not
ooinc TO renominate him until the
telegraph told him that his vote in the
Cincinnati Convention had dwindled
down to A.. The flattery of office
holders and office-beggers has added
brains a great deal larger and clearer
than Grants.
