The act of July Is, 1870, for the re-
duction of the army, threatened to bear
with undue severity upon Grants brother
in-law, Gen" Dent. This sweet crea-
tuTe held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel
of infantry, but was son duty at the
White House as usher or head servant,
his uniform thus saving the expense Of
livery-a piece of. seeming economy which
was more than offset, however, by the
high salary that he received. AS the said
salary for mental services performed came
out of the pockets of our common Uncle,
the thing was thus satisfactory all round,
until the raid army reduction law necessi-
tated The mastering out of Dent as SUI
pcrfluity. To prevent such misfortune
TO the country, the President has now had
him transferred to the second regiment of
artillery. To he sure, he had never been
anything in the service but as an officer Of
infantry, and poor one at that; but he
was the Presidents brothcr-in-law, aud as
no reduction in the artillery force was
contemplated, The artillery was just the
place for Dent To he sure, this is an in
justice TO many brave aud competent
men, whose services on the field of battle
are thus recorded as being ranked in the
Presidents estimation inferior to the fact
of Dents relationship, but as they have
all severslly and separately committed the
airocious crime Of not securing Grant
fer a brother, in.lsw, they have only
themselves to blame for their wIckedness
aud folly.

article from the JonesborO Union Flag,
a trusted organ of the Radical party, de-
failing the manner in which ''H. G.
Smith. the man who now sits upon the
bench as Chancellor of the First ChanCery
Division of Tennessee. This mau
Smith is a Radical, and the man who cX-
poses the deception and fraud" by
which he secured his election is Col.
George Z. Grisham, who edited the
Stokes organ published here during the
canvass for Governor in 1869. We ask
the members of the Legislature TO read
the article from the JonesbOrO paper, and
then say whether this man Smith is fit TO
discharge the important duties of a Chan
Cellor.

In his lac mcssag~, Gen. Grant pro-
pounds the question: "What do these
Revenue licformcrs want ?" To this The
New York Post RadicaD replies: "They
want to sec "a few articles as possible
taxed, because every tax is necessarily an
interference with industry; they want to
see all taxes and duties reduced to the
revenue point, because thus smuggling is
discouraged, and the honest trader has a
fair chance; they wani only those sIti-
cles TO pay duty which are not produced
here, because thus the government will
get all that the people pay, except the
mere cost of collection; they want TO see
the government when it lays taxes, do 50
for the purpose of raising revenue; and
assert that ifthe people wish to foster
any particular branch of industry, this
can be more cheapIy done by direct
bounty"

duction of PLANTATI0.G BITTERs,
prepared with pure st. Croix Rum and

world to this great fact The life SUSTAIN
ing principle embodied in this great Vege-
table Restorative is manifested in the weak
and responding by an immediate and most
encouraging change. If the appetite has
failed, it is quickened; if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy
and thorough; if the liver is torpid, it is
reused and regulated; if the nerves are re-
Taxed, they are strengthened and restrung;
if the brain has been haunted by morbid
fancies, they are put to fight, and hope and
cheerfulness return. Ii tho face Of the ex-
traordinary cures of general debility, dysr

death and the undertaken could persist in

prescribed as the spring and summer med

NaughRn's majority.


The total vote cast for Governor is
40, 1922, and that fer congressman 120,-
$50, which shows $50 more for the latter,
but the vote cast for congressman in
Lewis and Van Buren, counties, which
was 235, reduces this excess to 3e5. The
total vote cast for Supreme Judges, tax
ing the highest vote cast for the Demo-
cratic and Radical candidates respectively,
was 128, 429, or 1907 more than was cast
in the late election. The total vote cast
for Governor in August, 1869. was IT'S,
500, showing a falling off in the late
election of IS, 147 votes.
We hear a good deal of talk about
Radicals contesting the election of their
successful Democratic opponents for
Congress, on the ground that Radi-
Gals were deferred from going to the
polls. Let us see what the figures will
show upon this point The Radical vote
of the State was as follows at the times
mentioned:
For Governor (Brownlow) in 1867. .74,4Si
'' President Grant in 1858 SO, 757
Governor (StoKes) in 1869. 800. 50, O36
{" Governor (Wisener) in 1870. Al, 467
Congressman in 1S70...........41,4 O3
We have not included the vote for Tay-
Tor in the First District in the Radical
vote, though enough Radicals probably
voted for him to bring up the aggregate
vote TO that for Wisencr. ..
Here we see there has been gradual
falling off of the Radical vote at each
election. Ii is clear that they have voted
about their full strength in every contest
to which we have referred. 1t is the
natural decay Of that party, and not that
they have been deferred from going to the
polls. In August last the Democrats
poIled 100, 654 votes for Supreme Judges,
and in November they polled only rs, 755
for Governor, showing 4 loss of 30,S99
votes in three months; while the Radicals
pOlled Is, rs votes for Supreme judges
in August and fl, 467 for Governor in
November. The figures we give show
conclusively that there has been no reign
OF terror such as would keep Radicals
away from The polls.
