GOOD NEWS FROM TENNESSEE

The recent elections in Tennessee show
large Republican gains. Both the candidates
for the supreme judgeship where Greeley
men, so that there is really little significance
in that part of the vote. In the portions Of
the State, however, where the lines werc
closely drawn the result is highly satisfac-
tory, and affords additional evidence of the
growth oftrue Republicanism. The KNOX
vile Chronicle, one of the best and ablest
Republican journals in the State, has the fol-
lowing on this subject:
"We are glad 10 say that Thursdays
election shows very decided Republican
gains in nearly every county in East Ten
nessee. In some counties the majorlties are
very large, and show that. our friends are
united and in fine spirits. In every county
these gains can be increased in November.
General Grant is stronger than his party,
and we hope Republicans will in every
county where it has not already been done
organize Grant and Wilson clubs. Tennes-
see Democracy and the shameless Greeley
coalition must be pointedly repudiated.
We will be thankful to friends to send us
promptly the official returns from every
county, and hope efforts will promptly be
made to effect through organization in
every county" s.',i ~ ~

OUR CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.

| The nomination Of HON. j. AMBLER
SMITH for Congress from this, district,
which was made in a full convention Of
delegates yesterday, was result very gen.
orally expected beforehand, in the best in
formed circles of the party. 1t had been
known for some days, that majority of
the delegates of the convention favored the
nomination of Mr.. Smith, and that nothing
but his peremptory declinature would either
delay the nomination or secure it for any
other aspirant. Whatever may have been
the personal preferences of minority of
the delegates, therefore, or Of the con-
stltuencies they represented, Mr.. Smith
has been presented as the choice of the
party for this district, and as such should
receive the support of every Republican in
it. 1t is no time to foster personal disap-
pointments on the eve of political engage
ment! When the party speaks through its
legitimate organization, designating its
leaders, its mandates are imperative, and
the question of leadership settled.
Mr.NEhith is q young lawyer of more
than respectable abilities, and has much
popularity in the district. He will work
indefatigably to secure his election and this
is one of the best things that can be said Of
any candidate. His course while in the
State Senate, on several important ques-
tons, will commend him strongly to

The regular meetings of the Grant and
Wilson club Of this city take place at the
courthouse on Wednesday nights. The
meeting last night was very interesting
one. The committee on constitution and
bylaws made report, presenting brief
but excellent and appropriate code for the
government of the club. After some de-
bate they were unanimously adopted.
Great enthusiasm was created at the be-
glnng Of the meeting, by dispatch from
John w. Wolff, secretary Of the State Com
mttee, conveying the glad tidings that
North Carolina had elected the entire Re-
publican State ticket certain.
Cheer after cheer made the old court
house rescho with the glad shouts of Re-
publican voices, where only short time
since the :" yell y Of the Democracy over
their false news was heard. aga
The club unanimously, instructed Its BUSH
ness committee to make preparations for
a suitable demonstration at an early day
in honor Of the gallant Republicans of the
Old Moth State. The Democratic 'demon-
strationp has been postponed for
satisfactory reasons, and it is proposed that
we borrow their cannon and have that
hundred guns in honor Of the victory -
any way. 1
That splendid expose of Greeleyism, the
able letter of William Lloyd Garrison, in
reply to Charles Summers bid for colored
votes, was read incur meeting last night.
and was received with hearty demonstra.
tons of applause. The corresponding sec
retary was directed to communicate the
TACT Of its reading here, and to return the
thanks of the club to the distinguished
writer for his able and satisfactory letter.
The Democrats hereabouts don't like

by one of our comrades, who has shown
wonderful civil capacity in aiding in the re-
