THE NOVEMBER. OUTLOOK.

We say to our friends throughout East
Tennessee that the outlook for the Noyem-
Der election grows higher and higher every
day. We are glad to report that every
where our Republican friends are organic,
ed and at WOrk. The old fire of '64 an0t
'6S is aroused, The detection of a few lead
ers has only served to fire the hearts of
the Intelligent voters, who mean, by
earnest work and fearless voting, to show
these assumed leaders that they can not
transfer Republican votes to such a shame
less coalition as that proposedat Cincinnati
and contaminated at Baltimore. We never
saw more striking proofo of the efficiency of
organization than is shown in the improy-
ed prospects of our cause and the changed
tone OF the Greeley press and leaders in
the past twenty days. Indiana, from be-
ing a doubtful State, has now become SO
certain for US in October and November
that few well-informed men claim it for
Greeley. Pennsylvania no longer doubt.
ful. 1T is ours beyond reasonable doub.
even for Hartranft in October. There.
never was any doubt of it for Grant in
November. Even New York, claimed for
Greeley by eighty thousand, stands now as.
about the only Northern State doubt
full FIR Grant. If few more
knocks are given the Greeley party.
such as Dix and A. II. Stewart
are giving it, New York will give a fair
majority for the modest soldier statesman.
who amid the sluice of billinrsgate and
SANDER hurled upon him, quietly smokes
his cigar, confident of the endorsement he
is to receive next November
we get the adYices upon which, we base
lhese statements from so many and such
reliable sources that we present them TO
cheer our friends in Tennessee, for even
here we have but TO buckle on our armor
to give this Greeley combination the hard
est race they have run for many year.
Let US put our shoulder to the wheel and
put the Republican party in Tennessee.
where 1t justly belongs.

SOMETHING IS loose at Nashville There
is terrible quaking in the John c. Brown
camp. The newspaper ring is in trouble.
Two prices for public printing and immu-
nifty from publishing obscene libels at ten
cents line must be threatened by the
new departure, or the ring wouldn't be so
terribly alarmed. Ed. Baxter for Gov
ernor T" is the cry that seems to alarm
them. Well, we shall probably see in time
what this new party is and what it pro-
poses 10 do, In the meantime, it will be
interesting TO watch the writings of the
unterrified Brown-Burch Democracy.

EMERSON ETHERIDGE declines to allow
his name to he used as a Greeley elector
He persists that he is still for Greeley, but
admits that he isn't for him for the reason
given by the Democrats. He says: 81
am convinced that Mr.. Greeley will be
sustained by large majority of the votes
of Tennessee, and that he will carry the
State because he was nominated at Balti-
more as "thc Democratic candidate" /
believe also that a majority of the old
Democratic party leaders in the State speak
truly when they say they support Mr.. Gree
ley as "a choice of evils" and that by his
election they expect to restore themselves
and their party to natural power"
We understand there is little too much
ICON federate" in the Greeley movement
for Etheridge. He says that at recent
Greeley meeting in West Tennessee one of
the speakers confined his reasons for sup
porting Greeley to a eulogy on JEFF.
Davis.

THEY only missed the mark little at
Sparta Caldwell didn't stand as high on

but then the Knox county election made
them lower their sights a little. They
weren't scared bad enough quite to come
down to Thos. A. II. Nelson, as it was ru-
mored yesterday they had done. They
only take Union men where there is no
chance for gray coat.

AFTER protracted silence, Gratz Brown
hall way denies the story that he was
drunk at New Haven. He has induced
Gov. English to publish card, saying he
did not sec him drunk. But the New Ha-
ven Palladium says the dodge won't do.
1t publishes a card from minister, class
mate of Browns, certifying that he did
see him drunk. The Palladium then re-
iterates its charges specifically and backs
it with proof We suppose there are thou
sands of men who, like. Gov. English,
might say they did not sec him drunk, but
what would that amount to as against
even one reputable witness who did see
him in that state? Is is too late to deny a
fact notorious for weeks in New Haven.

CARL ScHURz in his speeches denounces
Grant for suppressing the kuklux by vig-
orous measures.
Horace Greeley in his Portland speech,
said: "All who nominated me were per-
fectly aware that had upheld and justi-
fed Federal legislation to suppress the
"kuklux conspiracy and outrages.p
Is it consistent in Greeley's supporters
to denounee Grant Tor executing laws,
for the passing of which Greeley claims
credit?

CALDwELL's nomination is a significant
triumph. He is one of the few bold lead
ers here who signed Baxters proposition TO
disorganize the Democratic party. In that
call Caldwell and Baxter said: 1.-TWO great
"parties struggle for the ascenddncy. Each
ais ertreme in its principles and neither Is
capable Of restoring public tranquility.
both are striving for power and when OBJ
"tained neither has sIsosen atse5 disposed 70
"apieyd it jtldiciotisly or constituttOnaiy."

ter out Of the party for 1t and now Cald-
we'll beats Fleming for the nomination.
This is triumph for Baxter, Caldwell.

The Adams family do not take crow.
John Quincy Adams, twice the Democrat
ic candidate for Governor of Massachu-
sets refuses to support Greeley. Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., says he can not sup
port him, and it is intimated that his
father, the present Arbitrator at Geneva,
will support Grant. He was supported for
the Presidential nomination by the brains
of the Cincinnati movement.

The Memphis AUdldnche is not a strictly
confederate journal. 1t talks out in
meeting recklessly. In recent editorial
congratulating the people upon the election
of Hon. Robert Mcfarland as one Of the
Judges of the Supreme Court, it says;
A further reason why the election of Judge
Mcfarland is satisfactory, particularly to the
bar, is that besides being an impartial and I'M
partisan man, he is studious, Industrious la
borious and exhaustive lawyer. The present Su-
preme Bench will be none the worse for the in !.
fusion upon it of character and qualities of that
kind.
Here is slight intimation that the Court
has not been wearing itself out with study
or labor. This will be narrowing to the
strictly confederate" The "big organ -
that has a libel suit pending before the
court ought to rebuke the AUaldnche for
this irreverence. But hear this and tremble
for the poor AUdtanche.
1t is not more than the naked truth TO admi
that the new Supreme Court has fallen short of
the expectations of its friends and enemies II
has realized to considerable degree the fears of
the bar and the intelligent people, when the
election of judges was laid hold of and conduct
ed by the machinery of party. Obseryant and
intelligent men have long been aware that the
general effect and operation of party machinery
In elections, is to exclude from candidacy and
office men ofthe higher degrees of character and
fitness and to foist into official positions persons
of inferior grades.
This is rank treason. We hope, however
we shall not be condemned without the
benefit of clergy for simply giving such
reasonable sentiments circulation

rmmreR ALTON AND EDUCATION NEGLECTED

! We published yesterday a letter from
Consul General Hitz, which should AVA
ken the people of Tennessee to a sense of
the utter indifference Of our State authori-
ties to those great interests upon which so
intimately depend the prosperity of our
State. What we most need as people are
schools and immigration Every reflect
ing, sensible man in the State knows and
| feels these wants We realize that with
out these agencies our progress must be
slow and unsatisfactory. And yet, when
we consider our imperative need for moS
| labor and capital, how outrageous and in
excusable Is the conduct. of Governor
Brown in his treatment of DIR. Joos and
Gen. Hitz-the ofiicially.accredited repre-
sentatives of the prosperous, liberty-lov-
ing Swiss Republic.
When the former visited Nashville, Gov.
Brown promised to lay the whole subject
of his mission before the Commissioners of
Immigration for advice and cooperation.
One Of these Commissioners resides in
Knoxville. He has been ever alive and
earnest in this great work. DIR. Joos, OH
his return from Nashville, con ferred with
Mr.. Charlton and the latter assured him
the Commissioners of Immigration would
at once act with the Governor and give
the Swiss emigrants every cooperation and
aid they could ask. We are advised that
Mr.. Charlton since that time has repeat
edly urged upon the attention of the Gov
ernor the necessity and importance
of prompt action in the premises. Yet to
this COED day, after a lapse of over two
months, the Governor has not only not
shown Governor Hitz the civility of cor
respondence on the subject, but he has not
even answered the communications of Mr..
Charlton, his colleague in the Board of I'M
igration. Such shameful neglect of duty
shows how little interest our State author
tiles take in measures vitality affecting our
present and future. We dare say that if
politics were demanding his attention, if
it were plotting against radicals or Gear
pet-baggers y our Governor would be
very active. But when we need
his time and attentio to schools or immi-
grafton he shows his unfitncss for his po-
sition by disregarding not only the inter-
ests of his people, but also the common
courtesics of official correspondence.
We should think the people of Tenres-
see had seen enough of the miserable po-
litical clique that. by vindictive legislation
and an incompetent administration of pub
lie affairs have thrown the State backward
in everything pertaining to its material adj
vancement or future prosperity.
