Congressional Row.

There Dcerns to DO some casting about
among tho aspirants for Congress il this
the Third Congressional district. It is
rather premature however, but as tho
ball has been put III motion We hope we
will DO excused for saying what wo have
to say about What the Democracy should
do in the premises. We are not ono OF
those that think tho majority in this dis
triot is beyond n peradvonturo. If 4
candidate should thrust himself upon
the people through trickerv in n CON
vontion and Mt the same ti1no not DO
acceptable to them it will result sorious-
ly and no doubt in our deroat. We have
work to do, and if wo lilo idle and dor
mant wo may expect to DO defeated. The
Radical party is Industrious and will
spare no ordinary pains to carry tho dis
trict.
Hence tho Importance Of organization
suggests itself to evory rational mind.
Not only does organization suggest it
self but the selection of an available man
who can control the vot, Of the district.
We should have an ego single to that
thing. One mishap and O. defeat follow
the district is gone for years to come.
Lot u3 not consult the individual claims
of any IL but the good of tho people.
When this shall have been done all will
be we'll.

nEaNNAE-
Washington, March 25.-After some
unimportant transactions, tho unfinish-
eel business, being the tariff bill, came
up, when Mr.. Chandler moved to lay il
on the table for to-day, in order to pro-
coed with bills from the Committee on
Commerce.
Mr.. Sherman said no would not OPP
poae the motion OF Mr. Chandler, as to-
day had been set for the confederation
of bills from the Committee on Com
merce. He said no did not know OK
actly what to do about the tariff bill, in
view Of the action Of the Senate ON Fri
day last.
The question was whether it would
be well to await now the tariff bill Of the
House and to take up and pass the
House bill to repeal tho tax on tea md
coffee, at any rate he suggested now
that the Senate tomorrow take up and
pass the House bill to repeal the tax on
tea and coffee in view of the uncertainty
which prevailed in business circles, for
Friday he had received letters and tcle-
grams from forty leading commercial
houses and organizations, asking the
meaning of the action of tho Senate on
FRIDAY.

Radical State Convention.

We see from the Knoxville Chronicle
that the Executive COMMITTEES have
recommended that the Republican voters
assemble in the various counties in East
Tenn, aud appoint delegates to the State
Convention.
The Chronicle does not say whether
they should meet in day time or after
night, and in the absence Of any direction
the presumption is they should meet AZ
ter night, as the Republican voters Of
East Tennessee, mostly belong to tho
dark lantern fraternity. Just for u mo-
ment think of the material of which that
committee is composed. In the fr>t place
we find Ken Wheeler perfect carpet bag
Cer, who came tn Tennessee soon after
the war closed seeking whom he might
devour that was connected with tho re-
bolton. In the second place comes Geo.
Andrews, another carpct-basger Of the
blackes tribe. This is the same being
that presumed to preside as CT ief Justice
of the Supreme Court of this State while
a "holl' existed therein. w. +. Yardly is
the next one Of the committee. We know
nothing Of him only by his association in
this case. G.. w. Ross was Il merchant of
Athens, Tennessee, but owing to his
~"lCyalty" has succeeded in acquiring the
position of Internal Revenue Assessor of
this district. lie is inscriptions and
never had any connection with politics nm.
till the lato war brought to tho surface
men uuheard Of ont Of their civil district,
j. \. Galhruith the last ono and By nc
means the least of this committee, is d
resident of jefferson county. All We
know about him Is that he loves the i'm,
mortal dollar beyond ordinary approhon
sion.
Thus we have this committee for Fast
Tennessee. They present q front Of the
poorest aud weakest order. In fact thC
, party in the State is nothing more than !
handful Of Scalrawags and carpot-baggers
or all the miserable looking concerns OF
earth they present it. IL they cannot dc
better they had better quit trying to show
, of aud gull tho people any longer. TIL,
Radical party in Tennessee ia now q con
sumato failure, and why try to hold its

The first four words were in circular

I could not understand what such q
sign had to do with the retail dry goods
and grocery business, and made inqui-
ny. I was told hat it was a Mormon

store and that Mormons were bound to
patronize him. They were prohibited
from trading with "Gentiles," and no
Mormon would patronize q store that
did not lave such q sign. Upon look
ing further, I noticed that one-half the
stores had o sign out, all of which seem

TIE ENTERPRISE,
Thursday March SSIh, 1872

The last weeks issue Of tho Loudon
,In""po', contains ra;hor a long and rncy
editorial setting ont the reasons why
London county should havc the next
mcmber tn the State Legislature, mas
much ns that county has been associa-
ted with Monroe. One Of the reasons
assigned is that Monroe has had two
Representatives in the 3Sth Assembly to
wit: Senator and Representative. To
this statement wo are not fully prcpar-
eel to give our assent.
It is a question about which there
really exist some doubt If London coun-
ty has not got tho present member in
the Legislature. Capt. Chambers is tho
present Representative and mn efficient
ono too, but with all that, is no not n
citizen Of Loudon county? His family
reside in Loudon nnd he by reason
thereof stays there n portion of his time
and the oth0r portion in Monroe coun-
~ at Madisonyillc. Now under these
circumstances wo ask the .LDUrnGi to tell
us which is his Ter domiccii, Monroe OF
Loundon county
The men suggested by tho .Eowpal 70
wit: w. G.. Julian and DIR. Jums,
hohoncy, are not Objectionable to us
We think they AFRO worthy ard good
citizens and would make tho people re.
liable members in the Legislature.
Thoro is another feature about sniC
editorial that struck us with peculiar
force. It is, that tho .MWnaL, Itadica
in it's politica, should presume to die
tate to tho Democracy suitable mel
whom they ought to run for Office.
JoUYYai you arc certainly a very har,
case, Think about suggesting to tn.
Democracy who they should run for of
flee in one column of your paper an,
tho next inform The public that a Itodi
cal Convention will ho held in Lou>loi
for tho purpose Of soliciting dclcGatos t,
the Radical State Convention. How
about this. Such presumption ann
bo found anywhere.
Our opinion is that tho ,Iournal ha
started III tho canvass before it wa.
ready. Lot us wait for the wagon. Til,
people must have time to look arount
and mako their selection for Rcprcsen
tatiye. The Democracy believe that 81
power is inherent to them and not il
the few like tho Radical party. SO IA

ment. Tho public questions before til

of society are nc doubt many in number

be questioned whether tho pictures
drawn here will have much influence

drawn and are somewhat novel in the

The Reunion Reformcrs.

The Tennessee Tribune thinks there is
no use III the Reunion and Reform Con-
vcntion. 1t says:
If the Banner and it's followers are
honest in their uttornnccs of Republican
ism, we sec no use in having two sepa-
rate Conventions. The only apparent
difference, between us, is upon our
choice Of a candidate for President. We
now say to tho BonncJ,, if it is tho true
Republican it claims to be, it will mako
fight against Gen. Grant within and not
without tho Republican pnrty-fall in
with us OIL tho 10Th of May, and let us
send our delegates to Philadelphia and
il you can succeed in carrying that Con-
v%ontion to nominate some other Repub-
lican han Gen. Grant, VIC now pledge
him our hearty support but if we should
nominate Grant you are in duty bound
to support him il you arc the genuine
Republican you profess to be.

zen to become a candidate for any office
he may sot his heart upon, and the ex-
sreiso Of this right may not lie question
ed.
Still, admitting the qualifications Of
the two candidates to be equal, VIC think
there is ono ground upon which Col.
Cooke is entitled to preference, which is
nus stated 10y the Athens Post:
another consideration with us in IA
vor of his success is, that vs. think this
portion of East Tennessee has some claim
to- the place. The argument is not over
wholming, but wo insist that it is emit
tied to more than ordinary weight. Up
per East Tennessee already has q wor-
thy and efficient representative ON the
Supreme Bench in the person of Judge
Deadcricl,, and as the lower section of
this division of tho State presents in
Col. Cooke n candidate Of ample and nc
knowlodgcd qualifications to discharge
the duties of the position. wo shall on
tinuo to urge and insist upon his cleo
ton with what little energy and earnest
mesa we possess"
The Times adds, that, Hamilton
County is almost n unit for Col. Cooke.

The Washington Capital tells
story at the expense of a Congress-
man from one of the Western States.
He decided to give a dinner to the
new delegation from his State and
gave Instructions to his wife to that
effect. She entered into the protest
with animation; but in issuing the
cards of invitation, happened, unluck-
ily,, to mention anearlier date than in-
tended. The delegation arrived at
the time specified, expectant and hun
CRY, but the host and hostess had gone
away to spend the evening. The pO-
lite servant supposed the gentlemen
were on political business aud nshered
them into the library, with the re-
mark that Mr.. - had gone out, but
would return soon. The hours wore
away, however, and the hungry guests
were well nigh farnished when the
worthy couple returned. Taking in
the situation at a glance, they said
nothing, but sent to w ormIey's and
Welcker's, who improvised q. good
dinner, to which they ali sat down at
midnight precisely. When the Hon.
Mr.. Blank dismissed his friends at the
door, day was just dawning in the
east, and the older guest held him by
the button and told long story Oi
