THE result of Tuesdays election shows
that gerrymandering congressional and
legislative districts in Tennessee is not
good policy, losing sight entirely of the
justice of the act. y To begin with, Horace
Maynard was gerrymandered out of this
district only to be taken up and elected to
Congress from the State at Large. In the
second place the /" Gathering Ram" district,
indignant at the. shameful proscriptive
spirit that mapped it out two hundred and
fifty miles long, elects Thornburgh
over Caldwell, one of the representa-
tives of the bourbon Democracy
that planned the miserable work. If we
look to the legislative districts we find
Melton in the 5th and Morgan in the 9th,
Republicans elect, from districts shaped
so as to be certainly Democratic. Knox
and Roane were separated and four coun-
ties made into the 4th district that it was
thought would be close. AS it is, Richards
is elected with sweeping majority over
three competitors. The result, all in all I,
should prove valuable lesson to such mar
row-minded partisans as have ruled in
Tennessee for two years. ..

Mr.. MAYNARD'S majOrities i'll East Ten
nessee, as far as actual returns have been
received, are as follows: Knox, 1853 /;
Anderson, SO I; Union, 334 Roane, 7s9 !;
Loudon, 400 McMinn, 615; Hawkins,
49,; Blount, 96S; Granger, 419 Camp

693; Bradley, 3O7; Scott, 200; Morgan,
los; Jefferson, LIP; Fentress, 40; Greene,
1,O21; Washington, 500: Hamblen, 80.
Total, 12,455.
Cheatham's majoritieS in Meigs and
Rhea are 1876 which deducted from Mr..
Maynard's leaves l., $50. In this, we have
only partial returns from Union, Blount,
Scott, Morgan and Hamblen. Sullivan, Mon
roe, Carter, johnson, Hancock, Claiborne,
Hamilton, James, Marion, Cumberland,
and Sequatchie have not been heard from.
The probability is that they will increase
Mr.. Maynard's majorities over Chatham
to II 800 votes in East Tennessee,
The same counties give Freeman Z, 1865
majority. His majority in the counties
not counted may increase this to 5000.

POLITICAL PARTIES IN TENNESSEE.

Elsewhere in the CHRONICLE will he
found extracts from the Nashville Banner
and Memphis AUaLdnche, to some extent
at least, indicating what will be the future
of the Johnson element of the Democratic
party of this State. These two powerful
journals have done much in this canvass
to encourage national spirit, that must
exert its influence hereafter in our political
affairs. 1t has been evident to sensible men
forsome time, that unless Tennessee could te
rescued from the intensely proscriptive
and Chinese policy of the bourbon Democ-
racy its future was gloomy indeed. The
extreme element of the dominant party
has crushed every liberal sentiment and
driven out every man of national spirit in
its ranks. 1t made open and unjust war
upon the Union element of the party. 1t
prescribed them and made no justification
for it. 1t drove them from its lines def
antly and insultingly. When up
braided for it the only answer
was tive can get along without you.'
Now, when overwhelming defeat is the
result of such policy, it patronizingly
says: conservative Union men must
come back to us for they can not 60 else
where.u The Banner and avalanche
plainly dispel this delusion.
We do not conceal our desire to see these
men become part and parcel of the
Republican party that now, under
new and suspicious circumstances,
takes It's place as powerful organization,
nearly the equal in numbers of its late
domlneerlng rival. They can have an in
terest in common with Republicans, for
they will find in such fellowship that
their Union record puts them under no
disabilities. New issues are arising in
which Union Conservative men. can not
stand on the same platform with Isham G.

THE LEGISLATURE.

From returns received atthe CHRONICLE
office we claim the election of the follow
ing Republican members of the Legisla-
ture from East Tennessee:
The Senators elect are-Patton, from the
first Mcconnell, third Richards fourth /;
Melton, fifth; Morgan, sixth. The pro-
liabilities are favorable to the election of
McElwee in the seventh and Welsh in the
second.
The Representatives elect are-HyCier,
from Carter and Johnson West, WASH
ington; Tate, Hamblen and Granger;
Reagan, Cooke and Sewer CottrelI, Clai-
borne and Hancock : Eckel, Jefferson
Bales, Blount; earns, Knox; HOuk,
Knox and Anderson; Martin, Lou
don and Monroe; Wester, Roane {;
MagilI, McNIinn; Duncan, Union
Campbell and Scott; Snyder, Ham
ilton; Patton, Hamilton, Rhea, etc. This
gives fifteen Representatives and probably
seven Senators from East Tennessee. This
is almost clean sweep. The only Repre-
sentative elect not Republican is Nc
Gaughey, from Greene county, a johnson
man.
We have strong hopes now that the Re-
publieans and Independents will control
the next Legislature, though several "Bat-
tering Ram" districts on a small scale were
mapped out in East Tennessee to elect
Democrats. If so, we shall have free
schools, immigration, better roads, and
Legislation. liberal and progressive enough
to make Tennessee what nature intended
she should be, the~Empire State of the
South.

" HEAT EEDING.
REDUCTION IN PRICE.

We again present to the agricultural commu-
nifty our Fertilizers with renewed confidence as
equal, If not superior, to any manure offered for
all crops, not excepting Peruvian Guano. Year
by year their value has become more manifest,
as demonstrated by largely increased sales, and
we challenge any brand to show more satisfac-
tory and uniform results. Combining our manu-
facture to materials of highest standard as
proved by analysis we claim like results in all
time. On the Wheat crop the testimony is of
unquestionabe character. We respectfully call
attention to our popular Guano, known rs
GENUINE OSPHO-PERUVIAN
GUANO,
made of the highest standard Of Peruvian Guano
and Bone Phosphate of Lime, with Alkaline

ly $40 per ton.
The character of this Guano is so we'll known
as to need but little further commentator from
us. Used for many years, it has become favor
lite with all consumers and it only e4uires
tr; Il to convince all of its value The Ammonia
and Bone Phosphate being in rational proper
tio1s, it can hardly fail to render satisfaction,
improving the qlanty ana increasing the crop
it adds one other most important essential in the
permanent improvement of the land-in this
particular we question whether il has its equal.
1t acts wonderfully upon the grass crop, and to
such MI extent as to bring IMPOVERISHED lands
up to high state of tertility-equalling Bone
Dust. Such is the testimony of many accom-
plishcd planters. We beg the closest nvestiga-

compounds, and earnestly invite all consumers
to inspect our works, material used, and mode Of
