GEN. FRANK
He Announces Himself "a Candi.
date fer Governor oG Tennessee.

The Memphis papers contain the follow
ing card from Gen B. +. Chatham:
To the people Of Tennessee:
1 take this method of announcing my
self a candidate for Governor at the en-
suing November election. This step is
not taken without reflection. 1 have
never sought any political position, and L
now do so only in obedience to the de-
mands of my friends, having always acted
upon the principle that we should never
seek or decline public stations, accom-
panied as they always are with important
trusts and responsibilities. Outside of
my disinclination for politics, L have in
the past believed that the superior claims
of many distinguished IONS of Tennessee
merited promotion at the hands of a gen.
erous people over myself, and hence l have
peer more than content with a private
station. [ do not now claim for myself
any superior merit or qualification for the
Office, but simply yield my consent to serve
the people to the uttermost o fmy capacity,
faithfulness and honesty,ifI should betheir
choice for this distinguished honor.
1t is scarcely necessary for me to declare
to you what are my political tsnets and
faith, for l feel assured that it is well
known that I have ever been a Democrat.
Such l am to-day and my every effort
shall be given to uphold the principles of
this party, and to strengthen its organiza-
ton, and increase its power and influence,
embracing as it does in its organization
thousands of pure and good men from the
old Wing and Democratic parties.
1 have appealed to the Democratic Ex-
%ecutive Committee to postpone the State
Convention, called to meet on the 9th of
May next, at Nashville. to give me time to
canvass the State, aud l doubt not they
will yield to this just request of mine.
In conclusion, L respectfully and ear
nestly solicit the suffrages of a people |
have always loved, and in my feeble way
have. whenever called upon, endeavored
faithfully to serve.

EDITORS HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
Permit me through the columns of your
most excellent paper to express my =. ate
full acknowledgements to the many friends
who were pleased to honor me, AMI my
family, with their presence OH Thursday
evening. the 10th inst. in the form of a
EQUATION party. The "reminiscences Of
the occasion will not soon be forgotten,
nay, never will my heart cease to beat
with the warmest pulsation of gratitude,
for unmistakeable demonstrations of their
high appreciation of my humble labors
amongst them as a Minister of the Gospel
of Jesus. 1t was indeed a pleasant sur
prise, to be visited by SO many of our
town, distinguished for their generosity,
beauty, and intellectual endowment.
The donations were commensurate with
the generous hearts that prompted the
profering of the same. And the humble
prayer of the writer shall ever ascend to
the Great Giver of ever good and perfect
gift, in behalf of those who honored me
and my better half with so many nice and
valuable presents, chilling forth a gratitude,
too deep,too high, to be expressed by NOR
tai lips. May they all be blessed with a
long and happy life. and all of them who
are not already united with a congenial
companion to travel pleasantly and hap
PLY together through life's journey, may
soon obtain this great boon. And when
their earthly trials are past. and they are
called upon to grapple with the last enc
my-may their dying pillow be soft as
their hearts have been generous.

THE COUNTRY PRESS.

Public opinion is growing more and
more favorable to common schools every
day. The country press Yields a great
power in shaping this public opinion. Our
local papers are in sympathy with pro.
gress and enlightenment.
The teachers and friends of education
should encourage the local newspaper
and assist in giving them greater %circula.
ton. In passing through the country
we find numbers of persons who read
neither newspapers nor books. Teachers
with very little trouble might take hold
of the country press as q means of stir
ring up the people. If the columns of
the newspaper were filed with education
al and agricultural items. they would not
become any the less interesting.
Teachers can do as much in this way as
any other and doubtless more. Our peo-
pie need stimulating. The newspaper is
the best and surest medium through which
public opinion can be prepared for COM
mon schools. We hope to see our teach
ers working through the country paper.
Amy newspaper editor desires to see
fourishing schools, because he knows that
the more schools We have the greater will
be the circulation of his newspaper.
Keep the school interest before the peo-
pie by every possible means. Let the
teacher prepare articles for the newspaper
and eduate in this way as well as in the
school room.

and partzan meanness which demanded
that legislative should subserve the vilest
and most outrageous purposes of vindic-
tive and selfish partyism.
If the Democracy were at all inclined
to consistency and would apply the One
Term principle toour Go~vernorship which
they SO v~ehemently demand shall be ap-
piled to the Presidency. Governor Brown,
would be small abstraction in the way
of Gen. Cheatham's aspirations.
His request to postpone the Democratic
State Convention to allow him time to
make a primary canvass will hardly be
acceded to. The Estate" has already
been made UP without considering his
merits, and the Public Printing Party
organs are u~nfavorable to the proposition.
We anticipate a lively imitation of the
Senter-Stokes embrogllo and from present
and frightening prospects we hardly
think we shall be disappointed.

The Buffalo Express thus concludes an
article on the Vice Presidency: 'Ohio
will ask the place for ex-gOvtrlor Dennison
and her request is by no means untimely
or impertinent. No native of Ohio has
ever been President or Vice President.
and if the rotation and location are to be
considered, Ohio will not be overlooked.
Iowa also names one of her distinguished
IONS in selecting James L. Wilson, and he
happened to be one of the ablest men of
the nation. But will the East be content
with both President and Vice President
from the banks of the Mississippi River?
We judge that. if Colfax is to be left out,
the second place on the. ticket will be
given to some locality east of Indiana.
Kentucky also askes the honor for her
gallant General Harlan; and Massachr-
sets will put in a strong claim for Senator
Wilson. That the best man may win
is our desire"

THE FAILURE OF DANA.


Another prominent and inveterate
! enemy of the President and his cabinet
Z has come to grief. Dana has been ringing
charges of the gravest character against
tie Administration for the last two years
through the columns of the New York
.51 Sun. His latest achievement was an
expose of the corruption and frauds Of
Robson, Secretary of Navy. The elab-
crate and blackening Indictment was pa
: raded before the startled and outraged
public with a~deafening clang of trumpets.
The INSCRIPTIONS slanderor and educated
BLACKBOARD, assuming the Roman dignity
g of an imperial censorship. reveled in huge
enjoyment of the countless stamps the
wares of vituperation and invective
brought into the capacious chambers of
his newspaper treasury. BY wonderful
feat Of audacious enterprise, this man of
peerless honesty had delved into the
arcana of the Navy Department and
, brought to the light ofday aud the knowl-
~ edge of men the vast %corruptions that had
long festcred in its mysterious, hither to
inpenetrable reccsses. Henceforward,
Dana was to be immortal. Like an Afric
diamond, lis name was to sparkle aad
scintillate forever on the bright bead-roll
of fame. But the golden-colored de-
fusion of ''honors pendent" and crowns
Immediate was dispelled from the vision
f1 of the intoxicated dreamer.
A committee of investigation was ap-
pointed by Congress to search out the al
/. legged shortcomings, excuses and mis-
ss feasances of Secretary Robson. Dana
q was summoned before the Court of in
o,quiry to establish his grave and sweeping
accusations of official dishonesty and mis-
conduct. This was a sudden episode he
never even remotely anticipated, and hav-
ing no supporting proof he was totally
unable to meet the exigencies of the oc-
c%asion, and hence failed to sustain a soli-
tary count in his indictment. His fimsy
cobwebs ofsophistry theory and speculation
were rent apd scattered to the four winds.
The information he lodged with the Com
mittee. against the accused was of too
doubtful a character to be admitted as
evidence and he o~bstinately and success
fully refused to reveal the names of his
iuformers. His charges, to strip the ex-
preston of soft and compromising words,
were proven to be the basest calumniations
and ~falsehoods, and tie great Mogul oft
disaffccted Republicans was branded with
the unspeazable shame of the liar and
traducer. He abandoned the cause and
left Washington, kcenly and bitterly
realizing the infamy lie had invoked and
b tho odium heha] attached to his charac-
ter. He has stranded himself as a journalist
for his utterances will hereafter be received
with sto;cal increlulity by an %intelli-
I, gent public. The vindication of Robson
D is complete in all its parts. A gratifed
country knows that there is one honest
official in Washington at least. Even
Democratic journals bear swift and candid
testimony to Roboson's integrity and
fidelity.
A few more such Investigations will
h remove any remaining possibilities as to
Grants reelection.
omgrLet US have them-they are whole
some.

TROUBLE I'm THE CAMP.

.u;ls Not because we take special interest in
the matter. but to post our readers as to
seyents transporting in the political world,
we give the card of Gen. Frank
Cheatham, gratuitious advertisement in
another column. 1t will be seen that the
General has been attacked with the office
: seeking malady, and the incipient stage
of the attack is so violent that he is crap
z ping for the sandals of Governor Brown.
s77 We are assured by the spirit and tenor
of the card, that his candidacy, called
forth by the urgent solicitations" of
friends Is the result of serious and mature
reflection. If the General has calmly
& reflected, seriously considered, and care
fully measured his opportunities and
possibilities, as we believe he has done,
we infer that he made up his mind to
enter into a sharp and persistent contest
with Governor Brown. Between these
: two candidates we prefer the latter, but
at the this present writing do not expect

support either one.
Chatham proclaims himself a lifelong
Democrat. and we can futber Say, what he
has omitted. that ne is a representative of
democracy in all the extremes of its
Bourbonic faaalIcisn. His political d.
.ploma comes from the school where the
classics of sectional prejudice, the science
ct p~aEtizan bate and the mathematics of
civil discord are taught by such learned
professors as JEFF Davis, A. III. Stephens,
and Isham G.. Harris.
Although Chcatham. and Brown, were
(. prominent cheiftains in the rebellion. the
latter has been more inclined to a con-
Z .seryatire course to acknowledge the fact
Z of defeat and ACCEPT its results. Brown
has not made a bad Governor and has
