PRESIDENTIAL sPECULATI0NS.

Under the head of Presidential nomi
nations" Mr., Curtis in one of his admir-
able editorials in Hdrper''s Weekly, discus
ses the chances of President Grant for q
denomination. He concludes his article
as follows: "The grounds, therefore, upon
which General Grants denomination are
probable are the results of his administers
ton, to which may be added the evident
difficulty of uniting his opponents in the
party upon any candidate. The general
feeling which will press for his renomina-
ton is that he is an honest man who, what
ever criticisms may be truthfully made in
detail, sincerely wishes the public welfare
and seeks it. Under his administration
rights have been protected, burdens have
been lifted, the most threatening questions
have been settled, vital reforms have been
begun, and the prosperity of the country
secured by the consciousness that peace
would be maintained-a consciousness
which would vanish before Democratic
success. Why should we change? will be
the question of the party. Under whom
should we have promise OF more appre-
cable and valuable results? During this
administration the purpose of the people
has become so plain that the Democratic
party abandOns its positions, and confesses
that its hopes of success rise in the degree
that it becomes Republican. Is it not well,
it will be asked, to maintain a situation in
which the real opposition--the opposition
of principle-dissolves ?"

OUR NEXT LEGISLATURE.

We hear the question propounded al
most daily, "What is our next Legislature
going to do" We hear men enquiring
whether or not it will prove so worthless
as the last. Our reply has been, that we
expect better things from the next Legis-
lature than We had from the last; more
upon general principles than from anything
we know of the character of the men COM
prising the next Legislature. Certainly it
cannot be worse. 1t would be impossible
to find an equal number of men in the
State more incompetent or more corrupt
than those comprising our last General
Assembly. Besides, if the next Legisla-
ture is so corruptly inclined, it cannot do
so much mischief, for it can only remain
in session seventy-fve days, whereas the
last was in session almost continually for
year and half. While we do not be-
lieve the Senate will be composed of as
much talent as the Senate of the last Leg
islature, we think there will be much inn
provement in the House.
But we will be agreeably surprised, if
the next General Assembly does not pur-
sue, in some degree at least, the same par
titan course which rendered the last in
famous. We predict that the question of
reorganizing Congressional Districts, with
a view to Democratic victories, will take
up more time than any question affecting
the material interests of the State. The
main question will be, to so arrange the
First and Second Districts as to provide
for the election of Democrats. If no more
than half of the time allotted for holding
the session is not devoted mainly to this
matter, we will begin to entertain some
hopes for returning sense of propriety
on the part of Tennessee Democracy. If
anything, having shadow of reason, can
be done to rid the State of Republicans on
the Judiciary, we doubt not but that it
will be attempted, but we do not expect
such brazen effrontery or partizan mean
ness as characterized the acts of the last
General Assembly in this respect. The
action will not be of such q wholesale
character. But we can afford to wait and
time will tell all. We feel at liberty to
premise this much at least: Our next Cen
eral Assembly will not commit any act in
tentionally, calculated to injure the DEM
Ocratic party.

The new treaty between France and Ger
many evidently contains some provisions re-
lating to the final evacuation of the depart
ments now occupied by German troops. 1t
was originally agrced-under the Treaty of
FrankfOrt-that these departments should be
evacuated when the last payment was made on
the indemnity-due in May, 1872. 1t is now
agreed, it seems, that the troops shall be
withdrawn forthwith, and it is expected that
this movement will be completed by the eth
of December. Meantime, the payment of the
third installment is to he made i'll March
next, instead of May, and the six departments
are to be neutral 2round-that is to say, not
occupied by either French or German troops /;
but the latter may return if the payments are
delayed. The French have managed we'll their
financial complications, and can see their way

MARRLAGEWHAT rs ITf

The great Apostle to the Gentiles fOrcibly
enjoins his son Timothy to "Hold fast the
" form of sound words" For words are
things. Give sophist liberty to afax to them
such meanings as suit his purpose, and he will
reason God out Of the universe.
The word Marriage is thus defined by oil
the standard English photographers whose
works are within our reach at this moment:
By DR.. SAMUEL JOHNSON Il. "The act OF
uniting man and woman for ws' T. StA'e Oh p0'p''u"
uDion."
By NOAH WEBSTER 1. "The act OF marry,

Bv .JOuN CRAIG: "The act OF uniting q
man and woman for ife In wedlOck the legal union OF
man and woman Jor e feast made on the occasion OF

By SAMUEL WORCESTER: "The act Of mar;
rying or uniting man and woman J9r We as husband @
and wife the state of legal union 0etWeen man anu
Woman: matrimony; wedock; wedding nuptias."
Every one but Webster makes union for
life essential to Marriage, and Webster mti-
mates no dissent from the general dictum.
Consider now the promise required by the
Christian Church of every man who presents
himself as a candidate for marriage. I'VE
quote from the liturgy of the Protestant Epls-
copal Church, but it is essentially the same in
all churches j
Ministy-" Wilt thou have this woman to
thy welded wife to live together after Gods ordinance

Now we are not here arguing that the
Woodhull-Clahn crowd have not devised or
adopted a substitute which is vastly superior
TO Marriage-we will consider that point In
its order For the present, we only insist on
the obvious truth that what they commend ana
delight in is not Marriage, but something
quite other than that, which should be called
by its own proper name, whatever that may
be. We do not wish to name 1t; but why
should not they He who has invented some
thing vastly superior to an Ak, hoe, an auger,
does not seek to cOnfOund it with that which
it is intended to supcrsede he gives it dis
tinguishing name, and tries to make the dis
tinction between the old and the new as broad
and emphatic as he may Our new lights, on
the contrary, seek to palm off their nostrum
for what it is not, and thereby betray their
consciousness of its inferior character. No
man tries to pass off gold for brass, or silver
for pewter: if he tries to deceive at all, he
proflers his pewter as silver, his brass as
gold, and profits or fails to profit as may hap
by the presumed lack of discernment IN his
customers.
We demand that those who commend the
Woodruff Claflin substitute for Marriage shall
commend it az 4 substitute, and under dis
tinct name. Is not that demand clearly just

curious memorial Of the great fire. Among the ruins
of the Western News Company's establishment,
where an immense stock Of periodicals and books
was reduced to ashes there was found single leaf
of quarto Bible chsrred around the edges. 1t con-

doth the city sit solitary that was full OF people
how is she become as widow! she that was great

how Is she become tributary! She weepeth sore in
