The New York World is supremely
disgusted with Greeley and the whole
Cincinnati business. That paper says !:
Thus early does the defeated candi-
date confess the hollowness and folly of
the distinguishing thing in the Cinein-
natl platform Though deprecating
tariff discussions as untimely, he makes
haste to reHounce and trample under
his feetthe evasive juggle which alone
made his nomination possible. The
admission would have come with bet
ter grace from almost anybody else.
True, he makes it by oblique implica-
tion; but the implication is so clear and
unmistakable, it holds him with
such tight logical grip, that he cannot
escape the imputation of having given
his sanction to miserable fetch, whose
dishonest emptiness he perfectly under
stood, and which he would have been
the first to expose and brand under 9TH
er circumstances.
" \
Why does he thus link it (the tariff
with the Presidential election, if he
ever regarded that part of the Cincin-
natl platform as anything but a disrept-
liable dodge Pa dodge which he over
stated and exaggerated, as well as sane
toned, in his letter of acceptance.
Within less than week after its close,
the late canvass is confessed to. have
been heartless and tricky, even in the
estimation ofthe man selected to lead
it.. The very thing which rendered his
nomination possible is admitted by
himself to have been an imposture.
He regards the tariff as a national
question Of paramount Importance; he
has hundred times so represented it
within the last two years; he has all his
life given the whole sap and vigor of
his intellect to the advocacy of PrOtec-

DRIVING AT ANDY.
Miss surratt and President johnson.

Inc recent statement, attributed to ex-
President Andrew johnson to the effect
that he had never refused an interview to
Miss Surratt on the day she went to the
Presidents house to intercede for the life
OF her mother, but that she had been re-
pulsed by his secretary, Colonel MuzZy, on
hlsown responsibility and that he(the Pres
ldentl did not know of Miss Surratt's ap-
pllcation for an interview, is not only flat
~ contradicted by Muzzy, who states that
he SO acted under the express orders of the
e1-President, but is also pronounced en-
urely untrue by prominent citizens of
Washington city. These gentlemen state
that, on the day of the execution, they
We're Informed by Mrs. Williams, former
wife TO Senator Douglas, that she had that
very day witnessed dreadful scene at the
White House that she had gone there on
another matter. There, at the foot of the
steps, Miss Surratt threw herself at her
feet and with tears implored her interces-
sion with the President for an interview.
Mrs. Williams went back to the President
and begged him to grant an interview to
MISS Surratt, and to spare her mothers
life. The President refused both requests,
stating that the matter was finally settled
and could not be reopened. Mrs. Will
Hams said that on repeating this reply to
Miss Surratt her shrieks could have been
heard several squares off. In recent con-
versation on the subject here, the ex-Presi-
dent stated that the part of the record
where the court recommended Mrs. Sur
raft TO mercy had been fraudulently torn
out and Kept from his knowledge, and in
timated that had he seen it Mrs. Surratt's
sentence would have been committed TO
imprisonment. - Wash. Cor. Louisville

THE BATTLE OF THREE.
How the Fight Stands Now.

The Maynard-C observation-disclosures fight
according to the Nashville Banner, stands
| thus:
There is manifestly an increased feeling
! in favor of johnson, since the news from
| the October elections. Quite number of
changes have undoubtedly taken place.
From the most careful and unbiased esti-
mates of the many highly colored reports
that have been reaching us during the
past week or two, we are unable to detect
any waverlng of the Johnson lines. The
friends of General Cheatham are also much
more active than they have been, and thew
seem to be still confident. a great many
OF the stories on both Sides however. are
somewhat sensational, yet it is not diff
cult to detect the manufactul ed enthusi-
asm. Thus far, there is undoubtedly n
strong undercurrent for johnson, increas-
ed, perhaps, by the results of the October
elections, so dangerously affecting the ma
chlnery of party organization.
But according TO the Union and ADaeri-
can it stands a little different-thus:
From all parts of the State we have the
most encouraging accounts of the gains
which Gen. Chatham is making. The
course which Mr.. johnson pursued in his
Gallatin, Columbia and other speeches in
making war upon Gen. Cheatham because
OF his having been a confederate officer !
his attempts to convince the people of Ten
nessee, seven-tenths of whom were con-
federates or confederate sympathizers, that
Gen. Cheatham could with "poor grace ask |
for seat in Congress after having attempt |
ed to violate the constitution, trampling !
the laws under foot, and seeking to disor. |
ganize, disrupt, and pull down the Govern
ment itself"-these, with Mr.. Johnson's |
opposition, not only to the convention |
that nominated Gen. Cheatham, but to the |
whole convention system have lost him |
thousands and tens of thousands of votes. |
Mr.: Maynard now looms up as the only |
real opponent of Gen. Cheatham.
We do not deny that we have entertain
ed very serious fears of the election of Mr..
Maynard, and there are still dangers, but
should the work of organization and con-
centration continue as rapidly from now
until the election as it has been going on
for the past three weeks, Gen. Cheatham
will not only beat Mr.. Maynard, but his
over the Radical nominee will be
counted by thousands.

Music, Speeches and n Good Time Gen.
orally.
On last evening Market Square was thronged
by large and enthusiastic crowd, assembled TO
have jollifcation over the glorious victories
achieved by the Republicans in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska
The Square was illuminated by immense bon
fires, while the light Of streaming fireworks lent
their brillsncy to the scene. The Turn Verein
Band was in attendance and furnished music on
the occasion, when, after several airs had been
played, Capt VIM. Rule, chairman of the
county executive committee briefly stated the
object of the demonstration and called Judge
Andrews to the chair, which nomination was
unanimously ratified by those present
JUDGE ANDREWS
Took the chair and made few remarks aps
proprlate to The occasion. He was glad to see
so many present and to congratulate them on
the Republican triumph which had inst been
announced and on the glorious prospects of the
party. We were met tonight not for argument
or for the conflicts of a campaign, but to hear
news OF victory and to rejoice together over It.
The Democratic party is practically dead He
invited the mourners into our political church.
and would celebrate its obsequies next Novem-
ber The Judge closed with a humorous anec-
dote and introduced Mr.. Chas. d. McGuffey,
whose length as he said was the only measure
tude of Democratic faces to-day.
Major McGuffey then mounted the stand and
addressed the crowd in torcibe and pointed
speech, followed by David Richards, ESQ,
and Capt. A. j. Kicks While the latter was
speaking some miscreant in the crowd threw
stone which passed close TO the speakers stand
to the imminent danger of those near by, but to
which he paid no attention further than request
ing the person who threw it to wait until he
concluded and face him like man and not en-
danger others by his cowardly opposition
he was followed by Col. Wood of Chat
tanooga, fluent speaker, and Judge l.. G.
Houk, after which in response to repeated calls,
W. F. Yardley, Esq, appeared, but in view of
the lateness of the hour made no speech, and
thanking the crowd for the compliment retired
from the stand.
james \. Ray, Esq, being called for, briefly
responded. His remarks were pointed and well
received and after an alluson to tie occasion
he took his seat, AT the conclusion of his re-
marks Capt. Rgif read a summary of the news
cheers.
Judge Andrews thought the intelligence was
good enough to quit on, but he had few words
to say. He had little faith in death-bed re-
pentances and in order to save themselves
thought now would be a good time for the
Democratic party to die while they had some
decency.
Before dispensing, Mr.. Richards made re-
mark deprecating the conduct of the felew who
attempted TO disturb the harmony of the occa-
sion, denouncing it as mean and contemptib le |
The crowd was very large and numbered up
wards of fifteen hundred persons, and with the
exception mentioned was one of the most order !
~ that ever assembled during the canvass.
