THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

The news from Middle and West Ten
nesse" is that the Democrats are sending a
better class of men to the next Legislature
than they did to the last. This being so, it
behooves the people of East Tennessee to
see that their very best men are put for
ward for this responsible position. Let us
send from every county men of progress
i've ideas. The people of the State are
fully alive to the necessity of drawing
from abroad increased population, capital
and enterprise. They feel, too, the need
of a general public school system, of
better county roads, of protecting our
State credit and promoting the growth of
our industries and advancing the interests
of the working men. All these are issues
before the people and we want the next
Legislature to be composed largely of men
who have progressive, sensible and practi-
cal views on these subjects. This is no
time for sending ordinary men to Nash
vile. If we want to send new life blood
through the State and make it grow with
new energy and population we must make
the effort An honest, intelligent, public
spirited and progressive Legislature would
be worth more to Tennessee than any 9TH
er one class of efficient officers. The Ley
isIaturc is, just now, the most important
department of the Government and we
should send oar best men.

RETROSPECTIVE.


The most significant fact taught by
Tuesdays election is that the Republican
party is composed of most intelligent, in
dependent body of reading, thoughtful vo-
tiers. When Greeley, Sumner, Trumbull,
Schurz, Banks, Julian and Curtin left the
great party that has so successfully and
justly administered the Government for
twelve years, we were told that the Re-
publican organization was broken and its
scepter of power to pass from it forever.
When these leaders were followed by that
syndicate of newspapers, the New York
Tribune, Springfield Republican, Chicago
Tribune and Cincinnati Commercial, the
Democracy felt certain that their time
for victory had come.
Our readers will bear testimony to the
fact that then, and ever since, the CHRoN-
IcLE said these men and papers would
have no great following. Has not the re-
suit verified our prediction Look back
and recall the loud boasts of the Greeley
press and then take up the election returns
of last Tuesday, and how has that vain
Dragging been fulfilled ? Where are the
voters these assumed leaders and vain
newspapers carried with them The
glorious victory we have won shows en-
phatically that the Republican voters of
this country do their o,Cn thinking and
voting. They are not led about by Sum-
ner or the New York Tribune. They do
not sneeze when Trumbull or the Spring
field Republican take snuff. Greeley may
get mad about the distribution of offices
and the Cincinnati COmmercidlmay think
Nellie Grant buys too many fine clothes,
or that Fred. Grant receives too much at
tention abroad, but Republicans do not,
therefore, rush into the arms of such cor
rupt fellows as Fenton, Jim Ashley
or Alex. Mcclure under the delusion that
by them or through them alleged abuses
are to be reformed.
If no other good results from the victo-
ries we now celebrate, they will serve to
give such public servants as we have re-
ferred to, to understand that the people
make them, and follow them only when
they are right. When they get wrong and
assume too much, they will soon get their
rebuke. When great leaders fall, they
have further to drop than less assuming
men, and therefore great Bis the fall of
the Greeleys, Summers, Trumbulls and
SchurZes.

Gov. Brown justifies his connection with
the lease of the penitentiary for $4,000 a
year by referring to the policy of leasing
adopted by other States. The question is
not so much about the policy of q lease, as
it is, that he leased it for $4,000 per year
less than good men were ready to give for
it, and that the lease was rushed through
in indecent haste and without proper pub
lie notice that other parties might bid.
Every sensible man knows that the lease
as made is snug fortune for the lessees,
and everybody of sense knows that if Gen,
Brown had been transacting such an i'm
portant business transaction for himself he
would not have acted so hastily or made
such terribly poor lease.

ocToBER's VERDICT.

Firm as her iron-ribbed hills, rich in pa
triotism as her mines are in wealth, the
noble old commonwealth of Pennsylvania
stands immovable in the column of Repub-
can States. Not the combined hosts of
Democracy and recreant Republicans not
the cloud of calumnies heaped upon one of
her bravest and truest soldiers not the
power of money or the devices of unscrup-
ulous politicians like Mcclure, could move
her solid, answering patriots. To-day,
nobler than ever, grander even than when
bathed in the blood of her fallen soldiers
on the day of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
stands forth, as in fact the Keystone of the
Republic. For this glorious victory of yes
terday the Republicans of the second State
in the Union deserve the highest ere d
rs they will receive the warmest congratu-
lations from their associates throughout the
nation. Their triumph is the triumph of
next November. The election of Hart
ranft means the election of Grant and
Wilson, all of this and something more-it
means for the South peace, prosperity and
brighter future. This is the lesson
flashed through electric wires from the
hills, vallies and busy marts of glorious
old T ennsylvania.
Ohio, the native State of the slandered
President, true to the glorious record made
by her people and her gallant soldiery,
stands firm by the good old party and
speaks to-day as emphatically as in the
memorable Brough campaign of1S63. Ohio,

day. There never was time when her
vote was uncertain. Her Republicans
sometimes need pretty vigorous oppose
ton to arouse them, but they hardly had
enough yesterday to wake them up to a
sense of danger.
Iowa and Nebraska are into line where
they will be in November.
Indiana alone is uncertain. Right nobly
have her RepuhlicansLfought their fight,
and we yet Believe that victory will perch
upon the banner of Morton and Brown.
Our special advices from Washington
and Cincinnati, dated this morning, still
give us strong reason to hope that Indi-
ana will prove all right.
But enough is definitely shown in the
CHRONICLES special dispatches to satisfy
the last doubling Thomas that Greeley's
last hope has vanished. He will next No
vember be the worst defeated candidate
that ever ran for the Presidency. His sup
porters, from every creed and party, will
desert him in droves, now that his fate is
sealed.
All hail, say we, to the glorious States of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska, and
to Indiana, too; for, if not victorious, her
Republicans deserve it.
And now the work of November is
simply to record the fiat pronounced yes
terday. Grant is already vindicated, and
though not in a position to answer the
vile ISLANDERS heaped upon him, the people
of the great Middle States have spoken for
him and silenced his traducers amid the
thunders of their amortization.

II has been.generally conceded that in
this Republic any citizen, no matter how
humble or poor, had right to call the SER
wants of the public to account for the man
ner they have discharged their duties. Gen.
Brown, however, disputes this privilege of
citizenship. In his address yesterday he
referred with attempted sarcasm TO some
one ''too insignificant" for mention who
has been criticising his acts. We suppose
he referredIto Ex-PresidentlJo hnson, who
is making vigorous war on the militia
ry Ring" of which Brown is chief When
an ordinary man ilike Brown, by chance
thrown up to the surface as Governor,
holds himself up as too high for criticism,
we suppose he should be called big Gen.
Brown, We.have never before had Gov
ernor hold himself too high for criticism
from such men as johnson, Maynard, Col
var, ct al. But big Gen. Brown does. He
does not propose to have his Administra-
ton criticised or assailed.

WHAT TENNESSEE SHOULD DO.

Tennessee is sorely embarrassed for the
energy and capital additional population
would bring to her doors. She has natur-
al advantages unsurpassed by any State i'll
the Union. She needs but capital and in
tellgent, we'll directed labor to make her
one of the first States in this Republic.
But she will never get the life blood she is
perishing for, if she does not show a more
liberal, progressive national spirit.
In what better way could our State al
vertise her wish for reconciliation" or
publish her determination to east aside the
old proscriptive spirit that has held her
back and begin more progressive career,
than by casting her electoral vote for
Grant and Wilson? Capital and emil
grants know very well that where the old
prejudices of the slave aristocracy have no
hold, there free schools flourish, there lib
eral sentiments are encouraged, there Re
publican principles triumph, and there
they expect to find welcome, and apros-
porous future.
We believe that if Tennessee should vote
for Grant next November it would adj
vance her material interests, attract to her
borders more population aud labor than
anything else could do. The monied men
who have the courage and energy to build
iron furnaces and open mines are men in
sympathy with the great progressive DOM
inant party in this country. AS a rule,
the men who take the chances of new
country, who build up the great States of
the West and who are to rescue the
South from its endorsements if
it ever is rescued, are men who
want free schools, intelligent labor and
just such public spirited governments as
the Republican party has established in
the prosperous and growing West. Let
Tennessee, by her vote next November.
give EXPIRE ssion to her yearning for popula'-
ton, capital and new future, and she will
get them. Let her people lay aside old
political prejudices and hates, and vote for
Grant, Maynard and Thornburgh, and we
firmly believe it will be accepted as an
earnest of better future and her career OF
renewed prosperity date from that day.

GOV. BROWN, in his speeches, presents
statictics to prove that thousands of dollars
are annually being saved to the State by
his penitentiary policy. He makes des-
perate effort to conceal the true issues in
the case by comparing the earnings
of that institution in former years with the
present. Now he knows, that there has
been no question of that kind raised. The
question the people desire answered is,
why was the pententiary leased for thirty
thousand dollars per annumn, when re-
sponsible parties offered forty thousand !?
Why was the lease not advertised and the
largest possible amount secured? Do you
hear, Governor Brown? Please tell us
why you felt constrained to send q special
message to the Legislature, asking for the
confirmation of the lease, when it was
stated on the floor of the House, that
Messrs. Newsom Horton & Co. would pay
forty thousand dollars per uRnuna for the
labor of the convicts? You understand
the question, and your effort to evade it
impresses great many people with the
idea that all is not right.

necessary that we should here attempt any
sketch of his life and public services. He

our friendly relations with foreign powers
throughout the war, and thereby rendered
his country services that will ever win for
him the respect and admiration Of Amer

THIS is the kind of stuff Democratic pa
pers print to explain their terrible defeat
of Tuesday. The Nashville Union and
american says:
That these elections have been carried by the
wholesale use of money-the peoples own
money used to stife all their mobiles instincts-is
terribly evident, and affords frightful proof of
the corruption that reigns supreme over this
once bright land.
The honest fact is, that the business
men, the manufacturers and the aOorI;ing
men carried Ohio and Pennsylvania. The
latter class never before received such
good wages or enjoyed such general pros
perity. Business men and manufacturers
feared the uncertainties and changes that
Greeley's election would bring. These
were the main considerations that gave
the Republicans such significant MAORI
ties. and all talk about the intelligent peo-
pie of these three great states being bought
by money is an insult to them and a poor
compliment to the sense of the readers that
accept such shameful lies as true.

THE heavy change in the vote of Gin
cinnati as shown in our dispatches is caused
more by what is there known as the Adair
liquor law than any disafiection from
Grant This is clearly shown in the vote
for Congressman where Dodds, Demo-
cractic temperance man running for the
short Congressional term on the same
ticket with Saylor, an anti-Adair law man,
falls behind the latter nearly two thou
sand votes. Ohio is good for Grant by
thirty thousand.

The card published yesterday from lead
ing Democrats of Monroe county shows a
proper appreciation of Thornburgh's fear
less impartial policy as Attorney General
great importance. The spirit enjendered
10y the war, ran high at the time they refer
to, and with the least show of cowardice or
infidelity from Thornburgh we would have
had fearful times. His conduct during
that period shows that his aim was to
serve the people and not political party.
If chosen for Congress he would pursue
the same policy. He would represent the
workingmen and the people who have
called him into the canvass. For this rea-
son he receives 80 large a support from
men who do not agree with him politi-
cally.

IN another column will be found the
card of Judge Houk, announcing himself
as q candidate for Joint Representative
from Knox and Anderson counties. His
card is frank and speaks for itself. Judge
Houk is well known in both the counties.
His ability and energy are well under
stood We think it probable that he will
make the race and be elected without OPP
position. He will make a, good Repre-
sentative.
