Liberal Republicans in Tennessee.
ATHENS. Tenn. April 20, 1872.

ATHENS, Tenn, April 20, 1872
EDITORS CHRONICLE: In the last issue
of the Athens Post the following extract
appears in an editorial There are no
Liberal Republicans in East Tennessee,
as far as heard from, consequently East
Tennessee will have nothing to do with
the Cincinnati affair" II by this the edi-
tor of the Post intends to convey the idea
that the term means that kind of Liberal
Republican which will go to Cincinnati
and there meet in convention with disaf-
fected Republicans, to affiliate with the
Democratic party, whose sole aim is to d.
vide the Republican party and elect
Democratic President next fall, then he is
right, and there are no Liberal Republic
cans in East Tennessee, and trust there
never will be any so liberal as all that.
While great majority Of the Republicans
of this section of Tennessee desire some of
the reforms demanded by the Cincinnati
Liberals, yet they intend to work for their
accomplishment within the ranks of their
own party, and will refuse to give aid and
support, in any manner, to that party
which has ever proved itself the enemy
of needed reform in the Government.
That party had the national ascendancy
in 1850, but instead OF working reforms, it
worked for the destruction OF the govern
ment. It had an overwhelming majority
in New York, and ii ripened into Tam
many. 1t has had the power in Tennessee
for some time, but we fail to see the prom
Used reform. The Republicans in East
and then demand Of him all necessary re-
forms in the workings of the government.
They do not propose TO set themselves up
at Cincinnati as a ladder for the Democra-
cy to climb into the Presidential chair
with. Liberal REPUBLICAN.

Sumner On Cincinnati.

NEW YORK, April GA Washington
special OF the 2sth says: Senator Sumner,
during conversation with friend, to-
day, explained that he could not, under
any circumstances, take a prominent part
in any new political movement Of what
ever character. "My convictions" he
said, ''are well known, and ] can not, in
view OF my reputation and those convic-
lions, assume TO be the leader of any party
which does not come up to my require
nents. i look upon the Cincinnati move
naent with great Interest, as an endeavOr
to purify the Republican party but can
not say one word or do one act to influence
IL, for the evident reason that my motives
might be misconstrued. hope, however,
that they will have the good sense to i'm
corporate in their platform plank indoors
ing the principles Of civil rights for all !"
"And IL they do not ?" said the friend.
"Oh, can not go where my principles are
not acknowledged and If they do not
adopt civil rights plank l certainly can
not support them"

ALEX. STEPHENS on ADAMS.

what "A Bourbon Thinks of the situation.
Alex. H. Stephens, the Vice President
of the late Confederacy, in Saturdays At
lanta Sun, referring to the proposition for
the Democracy to support Adams, says:
Just when the prospect was almost GER
tain of signal triumph of the Democratic
party upon the true Jeffersonian princi-
Piles of the Constitution just when the
Radical Centralizing and Imperializing
dynasty was becoming odious to q large
number of its own constituency; just
when thousands and hundreds of thousands
of them were ready to join the upwards Of
three millions of true Democrats, in res
cue of our free institutions from the hands
of the usurpers, these arch conspirators
now stand forth before the country as the
no longer disguised co-operators with the
enemy in the only scheme by which the
cause they have outwardly professed to
support could possibly be defeated
This, we have thought for some time, as
our readers know, was the object of these
and other " trusted leaders y of the DEM
ocratic party, in the new departure move
ment. Their chief aim all along, as we
believe, was not the success of Democratic
principles, but their dCfc0t. We have
thought so ever since the World, in 1865,
virtually abandoned the support of Sey
mour andBlair, when the indications were
strongly in favor of the success of the
ticket; and especially have we thought so
since the World, last year, refused to an
swer our question, whether it would sup
port a Democratic nominee, on square
out Jeffersonian platform in the coming
Presidential election, if such an one should
be so presented. This question was then
considered by this professed Metropolitan
organ of the Democracy as "a trifie imper-
tinent.n
1t was also then that we became fully
satisfied as to what was the controlling
motive in its open detection in 1865. 1t
was then that we became perfectly salts
fed that, in the Democratic fold, this
"professed organ " was nothing but
"wolf in sleeps clothing"
The covering is now thrown off, and
this wiley Radical, with his mask down,
is out openly-uot for Democratic Presi-
dent or any one in sympathy with a sim
gle article in the Democratic creed, but for
one who, during his whole life, has been
trained in the "ideas" and policies of
the "straightest secto of Centralists and
Imperialists.
Whether the Democracy will spon-
taneously" act as the World ventures to
assert, in case the Cincinnati Convention
shall DO as it advises, time-a few days
will disclose.
We can not, however, forbear the ex-
preston of our opinion in the meantime,
that they will do no such thing, either
spontaneously or by ".compulsion.n
This is our own Spontaneous" judgment,
and it is strengthened by what we see in
another telegraph from Washington, an
nouncng, on the authority of Hon. Fer
nando Wood, of New York, Chairman of
the Democratic Organization in the House
of Representatives of Congress, that if the
Cincinnati Convention shall do as advised
by Mr.. Belmont, their action will be
repudiated by the Democracy of the Union.
SO mote it be, is all we have to say to-day.

The CHINESE FAMILY IN SPRINGFIELD
The Springfield Union speaks as follows OF the
Chinese family living in that city:
The family of Mr. I.ai Sun, our new Chinese
resident, and a member OF the Chinese eduea-
tional embassy which lately came to this coun-
try, are very costly and comfortably settled In
the Hooker homestead, on Howard street. They
retain their native dress; have their own SER
wants, including COOK, hair-dresser, and tailor:
and, although in strange land feel quite at
home by being able TO live so much in their own
way. They express themselves as very much
pleased with Springfield, and Springfield people
large numbers Of whom have called upon :hem.
of course some have gone merely from motives
Of curiosity, and few have sought their ac-
quaintance who are not the most desirable peO-
pie TO know; but they have treated all with the
utmost courtesy, and have presented model of
good breeding which none Of their visitors need
feel ashamed to accept as such. Their English
is remarkably accurate and pure-much more
so, in fact, than that winch commonly passes
current in the parlOrs and drawing-rOoms Of
our best society; and il is certainly a striking
Circumstance that those who have been called
lhe Heather Chinee' should come among US aud
speak our own tongue more iorcibly and ele-
gantly than we ourselves. The young ladies Of
the family, we may be parddned for SAYING, are
very accomplished, having received an excellent
English education in London All who make
their acquaintance become exceedingly inter
ested in them, and this number includes some
Of our best families. They have an infinite
fund of entertainment for their guests, and re-
Gently treated some Of them 10 the peculiar
Chinese luxury Of fried watermelon seeds. The
calls at the Lai Suns are 50 numerous that they
are scrupuous TO return them at ouce in order
that none shall be missed or forgotten. The
only fault which the Chinese have found with
Springfield is with the prices prevailing here,
which, they say, are higher for almost every ar.
ticle than those Of London, and OF course much
higher than those OF China. few Of our trades
men have manifested a disposition to "gouge"
them, but these cases, we are glad 10 know, are
exceptional, and the Chinese, with their well
known shrewdness, may be trusted to LOOK out
for themselves in such matters.
