THE Memphis n udIdnche is not an or
gan after the most approved Tennessee
style. In its issue of the oath, it speaks
hippantly of A. Caldwell astride of his
"battering RAM" 1t says
The Second Congressional District of Ten
nessee, as constructed by the late Legislature,
resembles one of the old-fashicned battering
rams wherewith the ancients were wont TO beat
down obdurate walls during sieges. The chief
Inspiration seemed to be- Anything to beat
Maynard" 1t was we'll enough to hold the
Narragansett TO the earth by attaching weights
to the skirts Of his political coat, but partisan
legislation seldom works we'll, and this instance
seems already bearing legitimate fruit. There
is much dissatisfaction over the reconstruction,
among oil classes, and the new elements
brought into close relationship find it difficult
TO harmonize. The Congressional Convention
at Sparta last week nominated Hon. Alfred
Caldwell, of Knox, whose selection has increas-
cd the general dissatisfaction.

THE Chattanooga Times is out in long
editorial defending the Convention sys-
EN-, which closes as follows:
We call upon Col. John M. Fleming, the ed
itor OF the KNOXVILLE Press and Herald, to tell
his readers why he assumes that his Judgment is
Superior to that of his party as expressed by its
duly accredited delegates in convention assem-
bled wherein Col Fleming received consider
able vote in the presence, and of course with the
consent of his associate editor. We ask any
man who intends to vote for Mr. johnson how
he can so far forget what he owes to his own
manhood and how he can lend his aid to elevate
this dictatorial, restless disorganizer.

THE Union and american at Nashville
means piteously over the disrupted Demo-
cratic party. 1t is faithful organ, -
however, and doesn't flop over at every ruff
file of excitement. Hear what it saws to
the faithful:
The Union and american has striven patient
ly and laboriously for the adjustment of any
and every difference and difficulty between RI
val candidates. 1t will strive on, while there
is hope for harmony. At all events, it will
strive for ORGANIZATION as the only basis of
present or prospective triumph. 1t appeals to
its readers everywhere to await the coming of
the sober second thought before they wildly,
encloses the Democratic Ark of the Covenant.

GEN. BANKS seems to entertain poor
opinion of those who engaged in the late
rebellion. In his late speech at Lynn,
Massachusetts, the telegraph reports him
as saying:
We have no cause TO press those who engag-
ed in rebellion, further than our safety de-
mands. They are but faction, a minority
without position, wealth, or influence, and it Is
not reasonable TO suppose they will attempt 10
take power out of the hands Of 100000 Of
people, and reopen old issues.
If there had been no more skillful Cen
erals in the army than he proved to be,
the faction, " " without position, wealth,
or Influence" would have taken the pow
er out of the hands Of the people.

SENATOR MORTON is making the grand
est canvass of his eventful life in Indiana.
In speech at Richmond few days ago
he said he knew President Grant init
mately and knew about his habits, there
fore he offered this challenge. He said:
A certain politician was stamping the county,
claiming he had seen Gen. Grant drunk in the
streets of Washington. Now il that gentleman,
or any one else would name the time and place
OF such into1ication, and make oath 70 it, he
vould guarantee to convict him Of perjury and
put him in the States Prison.

THE New York Nation, one of the first
papers to favor the Cincinnati movement,
says: "There is no question that the Gree
"ley movement is now tagging. This is
acknowledged on all hands" Some of the
faithful who read only local Greeley organs
in Tennessee think the ground swell" f.
still startling the country. Most sensible
men now know that the Greeley move
ment is fast approaching a fizzle.

THE Nashville Banner lin double-lead-
ed editorial of great length and force, hauls
oyer the Goals the military ring" for their
selfish, corrupt and weak management of
public affairs. It's purpose is evidently to
encourage the split in the Democratic
ranks as the only hope for breaking down
the present incompetent administration.
To this end it thinks that many persons,
fully recognizing the personal worth of
Cheatham while not preferring Andrew
" Johnson, would regard him as very
" serviceable crooked stick to stir the
light of day in upon the clearer depths
of healthier under-currcht of political
" thought, faith and opinion"
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1872-09-04

THE "big organ is probably preparing
to bolt Caldwell, and as preliminary, bolts
Cheatham and breaks the party traces.
The men who manipulated the Sparta
Convention and secured the nomination of
Caldwell are probably some of the 'insin-
cere and selfish schemers" against whose
"intriguesp the party Is warned. OF course
Caldwell will come Off as soon as the "big
organ" takes up Garrett. Boiling is fashion,
able now and regular nominees are at q
discount with the Democracy.

THE Athens Post says "the Press and
Herald has flickered and gone back on the
nominee of the late convention" 1t is
significant in this connection to note that
the aforesaid organ claiming to be the
central leading paper Of East Tennessee"
hasn't succeeded in carrying with it such
papers as the Athens Post, Morristown
Gazette and Chattanooga Times. How has
the great National newspaper" fallen

THE West and Middle Tennessee papers
generally rally around Cheatham. They
say Andy tried once to burst the Radical
party and is now selfishly trying to do the
same with the GLORIOUS old Democratic
party the only hope of the country" The
Union City Courier says that " Chatham
has ten friends to Johnson's one in Obion
county.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1872-09-04

ARE Johnson's fortunes on the wane
that the "big organ is again on the fence?
1t intimated yesterday that it would wait
to see if Andy proposed waging war on the
Democratic organization. That's little
"too thin" No matter what Andy pre-
tends to be doing, he is boiler, and Cheat
ham is the regular nominee. The "big
organ" must either support the straight
ticket y or the boilers. Which will it do

THE New York Times publishes o tran

A DISPATCH from Wheeling, relative to

A DISPATCH from Wheeling, relative to
the late election, says
The Democrats who supported the Constitu-
ton are now much vexed over its ratification
seeing that the Republicans and Independents
have carried OFF the best offices under under it,
The latter have elected many local officers and
largely increased their strength in the Legisla-
ture.
Our Knox county Democrats know how
to sympathize with them. They have
tried similar experiment with like re-
suit.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1872-09-04

THE Democratic managers, those who
have been the especial guardians of the par
ty in the neighborhood of Nashville, are
greatly alarmed. They are calling for the
rocks and mountains to fall upon them
and hide them from Andy j ohnson's wrath
They are said TO be engaged in trying to
get Cheatham off so that they may get out
of the serious predicament into which they
have fallen.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1872-09-04

Oh several occasions the patrons of the
"big organ" have been indebted to us for
smoking it out, and showing them where
1t stood. We have again performed that
feat and they now know that il is for john
SON for Congress from the State at large.

A srEc1AL DISPATCH from Washington t


the Baltimore San says:
A statement comes from New Orleans that
the debt of Louisiana at this time is not under
sixty millions Of dollars, whereas the State debt
proper and contingent, accumulating for forty
years up 10 and including 1861 was a trifie over
fifteen millions; also that there has been an in
crease in the city debt OF New Orleans Of ten
millions in the last four years.
All of which speaks well for that emil
nent reformer and shining star in the
Greeley constellation, II. G. Warmoth,
under whose administration all this oc-
cured.

much, are you for Andy or for Cheatham,

lar nominee or the boiling ex-military
Governor?

and will stump his State against Greeley.

TO THE EDITOR oE THE HERALD:-
SIR-You will be interested to learn that new
and startling discovery is believed to have been
made by an American named George Henry Felt.
Startling as may appear the statement am justi-
fed in saying that prominent members OF the
learned professions including the clergy the Presi-
dent OF the National Academy OF Design, sculptors,
solid business men, &C., who have perused the
manuscripts Of Mr.. Felt, endorse his claim.
work is to be published by Mcssrs. James
R. Osgood h Co., Of Boston, which, 1t is
believed, viii give to the world a complete
key to the works OF art OF the ancients, and will
explain the origin Of species and their varied rea-
tiOns In system of proportion (gcometricaD which
exists In all the works and operations OF nature and
their varied ramiGcations. The cabala, q geo.
metrical figure, Is said to elucIdate tho origin OF
hs Y ana
sages, both In the Old and New Testaments hitherto
but imperfcctly understood. 1t seems to me that
the committee revising the Bible In England would
do well to place themselves in communication with
Mr.. Felt. The pretenson OF having disentombed the
cabala from its long oblivion. Of having unearthed
to do more than challenge scepJicism even ridicue
but examination has led, yes, is leading daily,
is lost In the contemplation Of the unlimited In
structi0n and pleasure to be derived therefr0m.
Of the Me should he contemporaneoSs with That Of

were made In all their anatomical details, was
transmitted by the great Lawgiver to man when
he gave him dominion over the nsh Of the sea, the
fowls OF the air, the beasts Of the field and every
living thing that creepeth upon the earth. The
suit or the abors Of Mr. Felt to which had the priv
