A DEMOCRATIC FIasCo.
Cheatham Nominated for Ongress.
Amnesty Refused Andy johnson.
Special 10 Daily ChronicIe.l

NAsIIVILLE, Aug. 81, 1872.
The rebel Democracy of Tennessee to-
day refused to amnesty Andy Johnson.
He has been canvassing Middle Tennessee,
denouncing the ring of eX-rehel Generals
and officers as claiming allthe important
offices. They had their revenge to-day.
1t became apparent this morning that
Cheatham had the convention packed and
johnson refused TO present his name.
The Convention met with Cooke, of Chat
tanooga, as temporary, chairman. Thorpe,
of Henry, was elected permanent chairman.
White, of Hawkins, Reeves, of Greene and
Boyer of Sumner, refused to serve on com.
mittees. The majority Of the Bedford del
egates left the convention. The majority
of the Williamson delegates refused to vote.
Johnson's friends rs far as possible not
participating in the convention.
Savage, of Warren, made long speech,
denouncing Johnson. He said Greeley
was the one thing needed-all other things
would be added to us. .s /
The spirit of the convention was bitter
against Johnson, and every sentiment APP.

The attempt to break down the two.

Johnson's proscriptive policy as Military
Governor to break him down with the
rebel element. But many of the latter
would take johnson far better than they
took Greeley.
WHAT WILL ANDY Do2
Tonight the general impression here is
that johnson will make the race. In fact.
everybody Is acting upon that supposition.
Andyis friends have made canvass of
Nashville, and the reports are that q ma
Jority OF the business men, q large major
ity of the worlkingmen and all the Irish
are for him, Well informed local politi-
clans claim Johnson would carry David
son county by n good majority in the face
OF the influence of the Governor and
the Administration. Johnson has given
his friends to understand that If the
people want him to run he will do so.
In fact, he has said everything possi-
bic, save am absolute committal, to
create the impression that no is
candidate. He either means to announce
himself or else he wants to scare the
Brown-Cheatham ring to give him salts
factory pledges for the future. | have
heard on good authority that Brown and
delegation stand ready to premise Andy
the first scat in the United States Senate
that becomes vacant. They are so alarmed
that they will pledge anything, and prom
Use anything. But query? is Andy fool
ISL SiiouSA W Ldht IlillS rings promises Tor
anything that isn't present or that they
can not control! From present indications
the neN and several future Legislatures
will not be as much under the thumb of
John 9. Brown d Co., as the last one was.
If Johnson is trifiing with his friends il
/ Will be his death blow. He is
to- day " dead duck ~ unless
he makes some use of the present popular
feeling in his favor to worst in some way
the ring that has never lost an opportuni-
ty to kick him. The very general belief
that now prevails that Johnson will be q
candidate will force him to take the race if
the public calls upon him continue, even
though at first he did not intend to run.
think now he is waiting to hear from his
friends over the State. If they give him
sufficient encouragement and assurances
of success he will run. If they want him
to oppose Cheatham they should lose no
time in making it known. The working
men give him meeting Saturday night,
and he will then probably definitely say
what he proposes to do. In the meantime
the public regard him here as n candidate,
and the excitement is already intense. A
few days will certainly develop whether
or not we are to have this exciting strug-
gle. If so, the more Harris, Bates, and
Foote's etc. johnson gets after him the bet
| ter. The people will await the final decs-
! ion with interest. %ss

THURLOw WEED.
The victim Politician i'm retirement.


The nomination Of General Dix for Gov
ernor of New York by the Republicans is
universally conceded to. be very strong
one and certain to give the State to the adj
ADMINISTRATION. The master hand that
brought.it about was Thurlow Weed the
great Warwick 2 of the Wing and Re-
publican parties. A correspondent thus
writes about him WrH Hii .er.l
Retired from public life, he resides lin a
princely mansion on the corner of Fifth
avenue and Twelfth street, New York city.
lbs home is model of comfort, elegance
and transformations luxury; rich in treas
ures of art gathered during successive trips
to Europe. The pictures that adorn the IL
brary and drawing-room walls are such as
are seldom seen in private collections, gems
by the best modern painters, copies of ia
lmOus masterpieces, with several originals
by the great French, German and Italian
masters. I.l riI fa
AIv. Weed does not live wholly in the
past His mind and his body are equally
active. He goes to market regularly every
morning, takes long walks when it is cool,
and usually rides several miles in theafter-
noon and evening. Occasionally he spends
an hour at the club, or takes walk down
to Clifford street to see his old friend Har-
per, the great publisher-or drops into the
office of the New York Times where,
fancy his influence is still greatly felt. He
is diligent reader of the papers, and
writes or rather dictates, more or less every

BREAKING UP OF DEMOCRATIC LINES
Cheatham aud Browns Friends at Sea.

8 lt Id NASHVILLE, August -, 1882.
There is hardly adoubtbut Johnson will
be an independent candidate for Congress.
Cheatham's friends are very blue.
The Nashville working men held mass
meeting Saturday night in favor of John
son. They call him the working mans
candidate. A canvass of Nashville shows
that Johnson has majority of the Demo-
cratic voters.
The Union and Amcrican says Johnson
is the choice of the majority of Tennessee
Democrats and the best qualified for the
place, but. for the sake of Democracy, it
bows to the conventions will. Its sym
pathies are undoubtedly for johnson.

savage war-not in aaday or month possibly not in year, but we have strong hope that they will do it and that as soon as any other two leaders possibly can. The people have entire cofdence in General Crook, and there is much evidence that the same faith will be put in General Howard. Both are determined to do right, and no one has right to ask anything else of them, and none but the scoundrels and debauchees about military posts and Indian Reservations will ask more.
 Monday, in company with Gov. Stafford and citizens, General Howard and party visited the public school and were greatly pleased. Remarks were made which encouraged the pupils and teacher. St. Joseph's Academy was also called upon, and a pleasant impression made upon visited and visitors. A number of leading Mexicans and citizens called upon the General from time to time until he departed on Tuesday at ? P. NJ. for Prescott via the Pima Agency, except Capt. Wilkinson, who remained behind to explore the southern border of the Territory in company with Governor Stafford, and join the General at Camp Grant about the 21st inst. The Gen. erals movements will be noted from week to week, suffice it to say, now that the citizens generally can meet him at Grant at the time stated, and as he did here, will give them cordial well come and invite them to counsel with him. How different from the scenes enacted at Grant when former h. dian Commissioner was there What a happy change! How full of hope this, and how gloomy that mission !!
 Justice to all is inscribed upon Gen. eral Towards banner. Of course he cannot do impossible things, hence justice to all must not be expected, for that is something not attainable here below-4O, OOO, 900 people cannot give it to all themselves if they'd try ever so hard, so good people, don't get out of heart, if all the General says ought to be done is never accomplished, but accept in good part his good words and promises, and so far as a human being can do great good, we believe no one is more intent to please you and benefit you than Gen.
