A REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH.

1t is our infinite pleasure, this week,
TO announce to the world that old
Washington county has again wheeled
into the Republican line, and has fully
redeemed her name from the disgrace
of last August. The canvass surpassed,
in excitement and energetic effort upon
the part of the candidates, any county
contest we have had for a number of
years. The Democracy, staying itself
upon the August majority, was conf
dent of success; but the Republicans
were equally hopeful The result
shows that many men are returning to
reason, and have determined no longer
to remain in party that is controlled
and actuated only by selfish motives.
1.-The colored troops fought nobly |"
This class Of voters, upon whom had
been brought all the appliances of ca.
jolery and deception, treated the De-
mocracy with deserved contempt
that party which has held up its hands
in holy horror over their disfranchise-
ment. Not to be led by their enemies,
to man, they stood firm to their
friends, not forgetting, in the hour of
need, those gallant men who have adj.
vocated and labored for the recoeni.
ton and protection of all of their
rights. ...7
Every Office in this county is filled
by trustworthy, competent and loyal
men, steadfast and uncompromising
Republicans.
This IS triumph over which every
man, who bears the name of Repub-
lican. should rejoice. 1t is a popular
vindication Of his political principles,
"a verdict Of the business of his po-
litical cause, - - ID
But our qualification does not stop
here. THE foul batch of disloyal de.
visings. embraced under the name of
the New Constitution" was repudia-
ted by our people. They want no

Tennessee matters; AS the House of
Representatives seem to be about ready
to make an Investigation into the con-

by the application of Gov. Senter, who
finds that the party,to whose tastes he

We feel compelled to add few
words of qualification to our excellent
cotcmporary's remarks. Those who
fought m0nfully now appreciate the
leniency of the Government if you ad.
nit the true definition of the word
manfully. That descriptive word, how
ever, does not embrace that very num-
erous class of bclligercnt military
rebels who fought deciyuly and dev-
jiishly; and observation and history
establish the fact that a very Large
percentage of those who voluntarily
entered the service had either, before,
or during the conflict passed through
the Devils dys-pof; and if our religious
friends will excuse the language, blue
being contraband and hated, the col
Oring matter substituted was kind of
gruyiSh black sediment of Hades-iirc.

their lips and tongues are set as an in
