The Next Lpgislaturr.

The next Legislature, which meets Oc-
tober 2, will be composed Of twenty-five
Senators and seyenty-fve Representa-
tives, the number of which it consisted
previous to the adoption, in 1865, of the
schedule to the Constitution winch pro
yidod that the House of Representatives
should have eighty-fye members. 1t is
well known that the increase was made
to bolster up and strengthen the Radical
party, under whose regime the schedule
was adopted. The State Constitutional
Convention, observing the error commit
ted, very justly rectifedit by making the
number seyenty-fve.
Among the most important work which
will come before the Legislature will be
the redistricting Of the State, and as nc
ton in this regard can only be taken on
the returns Of the number of qualified
voters in each county, it ishighly impor-
tant that the returns should be forward
cd here at an early day.

The Use of the Army,

In reply to a recent request made of
Gen. Sherman for United States t1oops
to protect our Western frontier from the
incursions of hostile Indians, he replies
that the available forces of the army are
not sufficient to protect Il hardy pio-
neers, and censures the government for
sending troops South, which are mani
testify intended to be used for exclusively
political purposes. Gen. Sherman has
no political aspirations, would not even
accept the nomination for the Presidency,
and therefore does not see things in the
light in which they are seen by his chief,
Gen. Grant, who is now supping the
sweets of office, and looking with stead
fist and determined purpose to II second
term. Gen. Sherman from his unambi-
tious stand point really believes that it
is the first duty Of the Government to
use the army in protection of the lives
and property of the tens Of thousands
OF white settlers who are our frontier Dor
ders. Indeed Gen. Sherman is so I'M
sophisticated as to be unable to see how
the vote of a negro, even if that is at
stake, is more important than the life of
a white man. Ii he bad the ambitious
aspirations Of Gen. Grant, he might pos
sibly see the necessity Of having Gatlin
guns and companies of cavalry and in
fantry convenient to political precincts
and political conventions. Gen. Sher-
man might then reason as Gen. Grant
seems now to do: Let white men pro-
tect their wives, their children and them
selves against the tomahawk and scalp
ing-knife of the western savage. There
are other uses for the army. The negro
vote in the Southern States must be
made to go right, and the white vote
must be over-awed. Such is the politi
cal wisdom of our second Washington,
and such is the present use of the Gatl;n
guns. 'F st.f.f

DEAR SrR:-I pick up my pen with an

mean that anonymous one-why, who'd
have thought it, in this enlightened nine
teenth century, any body could have been
so totally ignorant as not to be able to
discriminate between innocent badinage
and sober earnest. Dear me! Tn real
ly sorry that whit was written by me
and meant as mere pastime and pleas
antry should have resulted so seriously.
"Behold how great a fire a small spark
kindleth." But how could he so far for
get himself and everything manly as to
subject a lady to such vulgar stricturesl
Had l been Anna Dickinson or Mrs.
Cady Stanton, he couldn't have said
more. just such an attack, sir, / think
not only uncallcd for, but ungentlemanly;
and under the screen of the Press, cow
ardly, aud dastardly in the extreme.

Swoetwater, Thursday, Aug. s1,IS7I

As an indication of the course to be
pursued by the army in the next Presi-
dental campaign, the New York World
reports that a Major in the army made
two bets in that city recently of 500
each with an cS-oficer Of the army and
a civilian that General Grant would be
the next President, or, in sporting par
lance, backing the General against the
field. This, coming from an army Off
Ger, shows how well drilled and disci-
plined is the army for that campaign.

ATHENS, TENN, August IL.
To the Editor of the Banner
When did we ever have a Speaker of
the State Senate from East Tennessee 2
We now have q man in every respect
suited TO this position, and we claim that
he should be elected. 1t is our Just right,
nothing more nor less. We most respect
fully claim for Gen. J.. G. Vaughn perfect
qualifications in every respect. Besides,
the people Of Tennessee would feel proud
to do him, through their representatives,
this Justly merited honor. We therefore
take this method of announcing that no
Que would give such universal satisfaction
as he and, without knowing anything of
his wishes in the matter, We would make
known to the people of Tennessee bat no
ono else will be SO acceptable to the
masses of a
EAST TENNESSEE.
The above VIC clip from tho Nashville
Banner, written by some person from
Athens, Tenn. We endorse what is said,
and think no better choice could be made.
Gen. Vaughn would be very acceptable
to Middle and West Tennessee. If the
Speaker is taken from East Tennessee, and
from among the Conservative party, his
selection will be very agreeable, and we
hope the General will be elected without
opposition. We will guarantee that no
member of the Senate will try harder to
discharge his duty. Gen. Vaughn has
always been a kind and honorable gentle
man to his political enemies. All we ask
is for East Tennessee to have the choice.
All that may be said against Gen. Vaughn
will only be to his advantage. lie will
certainly be elected.
