CONGRESSMAN AT LARGE-DIsCUSsIoN BE-
TWEEN MAYNARD, CHEATHAM AND JOHN
~ rDY TELEGRAPH TO THB TRBCSg
CHArTANooGA, Sept. 15.-The triangular con-
test for Congress from the State at large regularly
opeped here to-day by joint discussion between the
three candidates Andrew johnson, Gen. Cheatham and
Horace MAYNARD, which occupied SIX hours. Cheatham
Is the regular nominee OF the Democracy, Maynard Is
the Grant candidate and Johnson Is running ndepend
entity expecting. however, to be elected by Democratic
votes Maynard opened the discussion with elaborate
defense Of Grant He praised with impartial zeal every
act OF his Administration good bad and Indifferent He
particularly defended his nepotisn, excusng two or
three Of the least heinous instances OF this oense but
saving nothing about Casey and Others OF
the more Qlarng sins OF the President I'm the way of
ponting his relations TO office. In his anxiety to show
his devotion to President Maynard even went so far
as 10 commend the Civil Service policy OF the Admins
tration and to declare Borie and Robeson eminent
lv At men TO be Secretaries Of the Navy. Referring
10 the charge Of gift taking, he said that Grant had
never accepted present Of the value OF dollar since he
became President.
HGen Cheatham proved TO be orator at all He spoke
only few minutes upon his claims as the Democratic
nominee. The exPresdent made one OF his character
istie speeches His candidacy was. he said, against
coue who controlled the politics OF the State, and who
were determined that should hold Office unless
he had been an officer IN the Rebel army. He wanted to
take the Government out OF the hands or the military at
both the northern and southern ends OF the line He
was exceedingly certain Tennessee politicians
who had denounced him traitor because he had not
joined the Rebellion, while carrying in their pockets the
pardons he had granted them for their treason Re
errng 10 the Presidential he said he was not
much OF Greeley man. but he would vote for him forty
times over rather than for Grant He told the colored
men that Greeley had done ten times as
much for them as all the Grants that were born or
ever would be. He made a sarcastic comparison OF
Grant with Washington. His expression OF scorn when
he spoke Of Grant having been termed the second Wash
ngton was indescribably ludcrous Much Of Johnsons
speech was devoted 10 a defense Of his policy while
President. He had good deal to say also about the
Constitution which wanted amended to prohibit
any official from receiving presents from any citizen as
Il now forbids their reception from any King or foreign
power He also advocated amendments to permit the
election OF President vicePresident and Senator's by
the people.
The general opinion is that Johnson will be elected.
MAYNARD has no chance unless Johnson and Cheatham
divide the Democratic vote equally between them, In
which case he may slip in by small plurality.
