SPEAKER BLAINE AND THE MARCH
SESSION OF CONGRESS-.

An inventive correspondent at Washing
ton, for want Of something Of more inter.
est, set afloat paragraph few days
since. to the effect that Speaker Blaine We,
working zealously for the re-enactment Of
the law providing for the assembling Of
Congress March 4th, and had written to
leading Representatives in furtherance OF
the scheme. There Is really not word OF
truth in the report. Speaker Blaine has
written to no one on the subject. has con-
versed with no one on the subject, and has
no desire whatever that the meeting Of the
A3d Congress should be fastened. We
make this statement on the best authority.

The conversational Canvass.
BRISTOL, Tenn, Sept. 18th, !

BRISTOL, Tenn, Sept. 25th, 1872.
EDITORS Yesterday at
this place, and at Jonesboro', the people
had the pleasure of hearing by far the
ablest political discourse ever had in East
Tennessee. Never in the history of Ten
nessee politics, have the speech-goers been
SO edited. The old men of the country
say the memorable campaigns of Polk and
Jones were not equal in many respects to
the present. Mr.. Johnson, for whom the
conservatives have the most unbOunded
admiration, is making a series a speeches
equal in everything that makes the first
class specimens of eloquence, OratOry and
composition. All persons of all creeds or
name, are more thoroughly convinced
now than ever, of the fact that Mr.. John
son is one of Americas most gifted sons.
He is much nearer Republican than we
can imagine he could get to be, after his
wantOn desertion of that party in sixty
five, and were it not for his bitter
hatred of Gen. Grant, and his great ego
tism as Frank Huntington would say, he
would, we believe, cease to proclaim him
self of the peoples party" and at once
unite himself with the only party now in
existence, that is a party from principle.
Mr.. Johnson's speeches are all in defense
rebel is plain but not mild. Why, his sar-
casm, when speaking about the petty
despots that forced Tennessee out of the
Union, is really sublime. Mr.. Johnson
will get very heavy vote in Washington
county, but in Sullivan not so heavy, but
he will carry the county. Gen. Cheatham
will get the vote of chivalrOus set of gen.
tlemen, but they are vastly in the minority.
His speeches are generally about eight
minutes long and exceedingly weak at
that. The General may be good farmer
but he is a failure as speaker.
Mr.. Maynard carries the crowd WHEREBY
er he goes, and his speeches beyond ques-
ton are the very ablest of his life. His
speech to-day was one of the grandest ever
made by mortal man. He seemed to soar
above the ordinary flight of political
speeches: he dealt not in shoddy political
tricksterinp. but in the most eloquent and
Impressive manner satisfied to a demonstra-
ton of every unprejudiced mind, the fact
that the Republican party is the party of
progress and prosperity, and the only par
tv of the country to which a civil man
should give his support. His vindication
of the Republican party words fail utterly
to describe and brilliant as his past life
has been, when he entered upon that vim
dication he eclipsed anything ever uttered
by him before. He spoke as if by in
spiration. For the first time the voters of
upper East Tennessee will get to show
their appreciation for Mr.. Maynard,s life
of pure integrity. 1t does us good to vote
and work for so noble statesman and so
honest gentleman, and we promise him
every Republican vote of the upper coun-
ties. -..-- HENRY.

Machinists' and BIacksmiths' International
Convention.

Tho Machinists' and Blacksmiths' In
ternatiOnal Union of North America, as
sembled in the Assembly Chamber at the
Capital on Wednesday morning last. 1t
is by far the largest gathering of represen-
tative iron workers ever held upon the
American Continent. Twenty-eightStates
besides the Canadas, are represented by
ninety-siX delegates, who represent con-
stituency of over fifteen thousand Journey
men machinists and blacksmiths.
The main object of the association is the
elevation of the mechanical status of the
trades it embraces. The promotion of tenn
perance and morality among its members
is one Of its prominent features, During
the past year one hundred and five subOr-
dinate lodges have beeh organized. The
expenditures of the organization during
the past two years for sick benefits and
death contributions alone, amount to over
twenty-five thousand dollars.
The total expenditures amount to some
thing over forty-six thousand and four
hundred dollars. The receipts amount to
nearly fifty thousand dollars. The organ
izatiOn has a balance of over twenty-one
thousand dollars in cash the Executive
officers have alone Sc, 230.50, in cash on
hand.
We have been unable to get the exact
amounts with the exception of that in the
hands OF the Executive officers, from the
fact that the Financial Committee have
not yet completed their report.
The Convention will continue its session
during the coming week. There is moth
ing secret about its proceedings, the doors
being thrown open to the public. Our cit
liens have now an opportunity of seeing
body of representative men who, in
point of intelligence and in general ap-
pearance, are not surpassed and seldom
equalled by any other class.-AlbGny
Press.
The NIachinists' and Blacksmiths of
Knoxville are represented in this Conven-
ton by our popular young friend Samuel
SimcoX.
A Pittsburg special to the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
The SchurZ demonstration last night
was big thing, and the Democrats and
Liberals are elated to-day. They are now
very sanguine of Buckalew's election for
Governor, although many of them even
in this event are not very confident of the
State going for Greeley. A great many
will vote for Buckalew and Grant.
