The tennessee Election.
trrom the Louisville courier-Journal.J


The dispatches indicate that both
Cheatham and Johnson have been
defeated for Congressman at large
in Tennessee, and Maynard is prob
ably elected. though the returns are
not sufficiently full to assure such a
conclusion. In consequence of the
heated canvass in that State a pref
ty full vote was polled. johnson
ran behind both his competitors, and
his persistency in remaining in the
field has brought about the result
which was feared by the Democracy
and hoped for by the Radicals
This will doubtless prove the last
canvass the ex-President will make,
and it is to be regretted that it has
produced the evil Of fixing MAYNARD
in Congress as the representative
of Democratic State. 1t is irnpos-
sible, however, to hope for better
things from men whose personal as
pirations are INDUCED at the sac
rifice Of the public good. Mr.. John
son has made no new friends by his
canvass and has lost many old ones
and those who have still chung to
him must acknowledge that he is
in the main responsible for the evil
which has befallen his State by the
election Of Maynard He had bet
ter have remained in retirement,
resting upon the honors gained by
his somewhat creditable but unsuc-
cessful struggle against the Radical
party during the latter months Of
his Presidential term.

How to wear winter Clothing.

In his experiments to determine
the heat conducting power of linen,
cotton. wool. and silk, Sir Humphrey
Davy found not only that these
materials conducted heat in the
order given above, linen being the
best. but also that the tightness or
looseness of weaving possessed an
important influence 1t is therefore
evident that in selection of winter
clothing, and especially of that to
be worn rext the skin, the materials
of least conducting power, as wool
and silk, should be chosen, and the
fabrics should be loosely woven.
AS regards the external garments
the same rules apply with equal
force, but in this case care should
be taken to remove overcoats and
shawls when in a warm room: es-
pecially should this precaution be
observed in the instance of the fars
worn by ladies. The habit Of wear
ing these articles for hours in sue
cession while shopping and visiting,
often so weakens the powers Of re-
sistence in the wearers that they
become the ready victims Of infaIn
nation of the throat and lungs. 10
such an extent does this oceur in
New York that many of the most
skillful physicians advise their pa
tients to discontinue the use of furs.
and the advice is often followed with
the most satisfactory results.

The carpet-baggers, big and lit
tie, are making money while the
sun Of Presidential favor shines up
on them. Here is a neat little story
of extortion in Texas: Certain
creditors levied upon 240 head Of
cattle to secure the payment of a
debt. The efficient thief who count
ed himselfin as sheriff sold the herd
for $435, and collected 1868 for
costs of seizure. The county pa
per caustically remarks that this
official. if he continues to compute
costs at this rate, can soon pay up
his defalcation.

The Horse Plague.

Telegraphic reports from Philadel-
phia, Boston, Washington, Pittsburg,
Chicago and other cities of the
North and West, represent the horse
malady as being fearful. In Wash
ington City, it is said, not a single
sound horse can be found. InPhil-
adelphia and Boston drays and carts
are drawn by men. The disease has
made its appearance in Richmond.

Now for something Else.

The most exciting, embittered ant

State at large that has ever beer
witnessed in this State is just over

an advance In our material interests
and prosperity. We trust our PEG
pie, no matter who is elected, will

ages that have resulted from such an
absorbing, tedious. unnatural, and
disastrous contest. A few more
such, with their revolving animosities
and business distractions, would
throw the State back in its race for
material development fully ten years.
Who has been benefited by the bit
terness, the acrimony, and the es-
arrangement which have resulted from
the springing of old antideluvian
questions! Our people are already
poor enough, without adding to their
poverty by such heated campaigns.
Whenever the State Of Tennessee
gets to such a low ebb that the cleo
ton of this man or that, is necessa-
~ to her political salvation, she will
no longer be worth the trouble of
saving, and the sooner she reaches
the limits of her political degrade
ton the sooner will be Eer I'd imp

Politics are absorbing too much
the attention Of our people. Poll
ticians are ruling them with an iron
hand, much to the injury of all their
agricultural and industrial pursuits
1t would be we'll for the State, if an
other election should not take place
within her borders in five years.
However, we congratulate them that
the agony is over, and that the coun-
try is not destroyed. Let our peo-
pie now turn their attention to some
thing that will benefit them, morally,
socially, materially and intellectual.

We have had fortunate escape,
owing to the mistake made by n.
