There are two classes of Democrats One of these
refuse to have anything whatever to do with Governor
Yarmouth, believing that intercourse with him. of
any kind, would be certain to compromise them They
know of disnterested act performed by him since
be assumed the Executive Office but on the other hand
they know that he has lost an opportunity to
misrepresent and injure them 1t hardly be nee
essary cite instances of this but if any one is in
doubt let him read Gov. Warmoth's testimony be-.
fore the Congressional Committee which met here
some months ago to investigate the claims of the par
ties who contestng seats in the House of Repre-.
sentatves. And if could obtain perusal of Gov.
Warmoths letters to the Radical leaders in Washing
ton, we should see him in bis true colors.
The other class of Democrats those adherents of
the party who cling to it only for Office holding pur-
poses ard purposes of personal gain and are to-day ad
vocatng the reception of Warmoth and his associates
into the party whenever he is ready The ac-
ton of this Glass; the last session of the Legislature
sufficiently established their status and made manifest
the object they had in view. The approaching session
will demonstrate the accuracy of observations
These individuals will join the Republican party if it
be needful to accomplish their aims. We hold that a
man cannot serve two masters. We do not believe
that the Radicals would allow any genains Democrat
to handle public funds, profit by them in any way
without full compensation if they could prevent it,
That Democrats did 40 profit cannot be denied When
we see such things take place to but one
conclusion. ~ O. Bee

TENNESSEE PoLITICs.-The State convention of Ten
nessee elected to revise the present constitution or
form new one, assembled at Nashville and was
promptly organised. John c. Brown, lawyer of
high rank, who resides at Pulaski was unanimously
chosen President During the war he held the posi-
tions of Colonel Brigadier and Major General.
A special dispatch to the Courier-Journal from
Nashville on the 12th says there is considerable in
terest manifested there to whether Congress will
undertake to reconstruct Tennessee The dispatch
goes on tosayt
"Gov senter and other State officials scout the idea
that such thing will be attempted They express no
little indignation at the alleged deliberate misrepre-
sentation embodied in the petition to Congress signed
by Tennessee Congressman praying to have the pres
ent State government set aside The general, almost
universal opinion is that Congress will not interfere in
view of the fact that the fullest political rights are ac
corded the negroes and that the only persons pro-
scribed white ex-rebelS.
As far as the Constitutional Convention is concerned
it may be set down, for ALL that that body will
not do anything revolutionary. The main question to
be acted on relates to suffrage and there is hardly any
thing certain than that when the matter is dis
posed of by the Convention the negro will be in pos
session of full political rights As for the Convention
repeating the acts of the Radical Legislature, the
thing is simply absurd. That is within the province
of the present Legislature and it has repealed some of
the laws Of the last body, but they those of
grossly partisan character.
C In the convention to-day resolution was intro
duced proposing to amend the constitution so as to
limit the ballot to white men. 1t is extremely doubt
full if ten of the seventyfve members composing the
body, would vote for such proposition. The express
sion of opinion in regard to the impartial suffrage is
positive and unequivoca in the affirmative. All sorts
of amendments have already been introduced in the
convention, but they of minor character compared
to suffrage question"
