many leading Republicans in different parts
Crlhe SAFE, | take the liberty of calling
your attention to what is deemed the most
advantageous policy TO be pursued in the
election for county officers in the various
counties in the State in August next.
Our objec i've point, as Republicans,
is the reelection of President Grant;
and, in order to secure practical
bic support from the opposition whenever
possible, aud passive support in other in
stances, il is thought best for the Republi-
cans ~ the different counties TO be govern
ed by circumstances, and to vote for, and
make strict party issue, and run strictly
party candidates only in such counties and
cases, as may present reasonable assurance
of success. In all other cases, the Repub-
licau vote should be concentrated on those
candidates Of The opposition party most
liberal toward US now, and from whom the
friends CfGen. GTaut, and the Republican
party, may expect the most hereafter.
These suggestions, strictly carried into
practice, il is believed, will do much TO
CODclllabe and lioerallZe very large ele-
ment throughout the State, upon whom,
it is hoped, we might possibly rely for CO.
operation in the future, a-d on whose aid
we might rely in the election of Gen.

Many Democrats are greatly dissatisfied

State at large by minority voter This
must be determined by the Democratic
voters of Tennessee. If they divide their
votes on Cheatham and johnson, as they
now seem disposed to do, it would be
idiocy to deny that Maynard will be elected.
A majority of the Democracy of the State
will cast their votes for Gen. eheatham,
the nominee of the Convention held after
q two months notice publicly given by the
State Executive Committee. But that
majority must be sufficiently large to
secure the defeat of Mr. Maynard. We
will give it as our honest belief that Gen.
Cheatham's majority over Mr.. johnson in
Middle and West Tennessee will be greater
not only than Mr.. Johnson's majority over
him in East Tennessee, but will be greater
than Mr.. Johnson's entire vote in East Ten
nessee, eUen though he should get every
Democratic vote cast in that division of the
State at the last election-l6, 26l, which is
impossible That we do not speak at ran
dom we repeat as we have before stated
that we have endeavored to obtain from
reliable sources in every county of the
State approximate estimates Of the vote
that will be received by the various candi-
dates now before the people.
We have reports from seventy-two
counties: twenty-five in East Tennessee,
thirty-one in Middle and nineteen in West
Tennessee, leaving twenty counties to be
heard from, some Of which we know to be
the largest Cheatham counties in the
State The report, which we have,
gives ,Aeatham n, 575; johnson 40, $40 +;
Maynard 1880. Suppose you take ten
per cent. of this estimate from Cheatham,
1851, it will then stand 77,575-7,757 or
60, 8l8 for Cheatham. Then add to John
sons reported vote ten per cent. (4O, 620t
4,062) This will give Mr.. Johnson 1852;
or more than 25,0 900 less than Ckestham
Take twenty per cent. off of Oheatham's
reported vote (77,575-15,515) and you
still have 62,060 for Cheatham. Add to
Johnson s vote O,62O twenty per cent
(8,124,) making difference Of forty per
cent from our reports, and we have as the
vote for Mr.. johnson 48, 744. Thus giving
as the aggregate vote of Cheatham, after
deducting twenty per cent, 81, O60, and the
aggregate vote of Johnson after adding
twenty per cent 1914; still leaving .
majority for Cheatham over Johnson {
IL, 3l6, which cannot be overcome.

Sound Views,

The Atlanta Constitution publishes
the following as an extract of the opin-
ion of Judge David Davis, in the Unit
ed States Supreme Court. on the famous
Milligan case. 1t was delivered in 1866
but we believe that Judge Davis, though
known as Il Republican, has not in his
later declarations amt action as q Judi
cia officer, departed from the broad
conservative principles herein enun-
ciated:
"1he Constitution of the United States
is q law for rulers and people equally
in war and in peace, covers with the
shield of its protection all classes of
men, at all times and under all crcum-
stances. No doctrine involving more
pernicious consequences was ever in
vented by the wit of man than that any
of its provisions can be sus, ended du-
ring any Of the exigencies of govern
ment. Such doctrine leads directly to
anarchy or despotsm, but the theory Of
necessity on which it is based is false,
for the Government within the COnsti-
tuition has all the powers granted to it
which are necessary to preserve its ex-
istence, as has been happily proved by
the result of the great effort to throw
off its Just authority"

Senator Summers Position.

A Washington special to the courier
JOnrnol says Mr.. Sumner has been
bad@crcd on all sides to-day by those
who desire TO know where he is to he
found politically in the Presidential
campaign. TO his Senatorial friends he
repeats that he has not said that he was
going to the Cincinnati Convention, nor
that he had been asked and had con.
scnted 20 become its presiding officer.
He says that he has some hopes that
Grant will not be rcnominatcd bv the
oilicc-holdcrs at the Philadelphia Con-
vcniion. in which event he will support
the nominees Of that convention. If
the Liberal Republican Convention at
Cincinnati should nominate Charles
Francis Adams or Senator Trumbull he
would probably support either one
But, according to a full understanding
of his position, Mr.. Sumner shows his
Cna,crable hostility to Grant, without,
however, indicating what he will do to
defeat his reelection. NCtwithstand-
ing all that has been said and printed
about Mr.. Summers opposition to Gen.
Grant we don't regard his hostility to
the reelection Of that distinguished
as inevitable.

The Labor Reform Question.

Mr., A. II, Stephens continues n zeal
Gus warfare against Ccntralism and IN
favor of Consttulionalism. In n recent
editorial in his papcr-thc Atlanta Sun
he thus refers to the Reform Conyen-
ton at Columbus and its action:
All that il necessary to carry the next
Presidential election and effect all those
reforms that the Ohio Convention is
driving at (by FIRST e0ecijng y reform OF
the administration of the Federal Gov
eminent from which the evils com
planned have sprung) i, for u grand,
united rally Of all the elements Of the
true Democratic hosts in all the States,
under the Jcilersonian banner OF the
rights of the people and the States,
against the principles and acts Of that
party, which, by its gross usnrpations
of power, is now attempting to trans
form the glorious government Of our
fathers into u centralized dcspotism.-
This is the great. absorbing iSsuc-the
great question Of questions, now be-
fore the people of the United States.
Whether the Laborcrs Convention
in Ohio have indicated proper man to
be the standard-bcarer of the combined
hosts in this great conflict. we are not
prepared to say. We do not know
enough of Judge Davis; but are graf
fled in being able to say that what we
do know of him has nothing about it
unfavorable to that position. 1t is true
he sustained the war "for the mainten-
ancc of the Union under the Constitu-
ton" with all his yea! and ability; but
if we understand his position since that
war was over, he has been equally zeal
Gus in his opposition to the new war
since then, inauguratcd by the present
Radical Dynasty against ten States Of
the Union, and still wagcd by them
against the Constitution itself
This is now the living issue; and we
hail as brothers all who are sound and
true to liberty on that, without any re-
gard to former anteccdcnts or party
names.
On this subject, however, Of stan
ard-bcarcrs or candidates. we repeat
what we have often said: We shall be
content with any man or men who is or
are at this time, on the Democratic
side in this great issue now before the
country, of Constitutionalism against
Centralism.

The PcODIp,

The Louisville COurier-JOWlna1 says
a word in behalf of the people. We
like the language-it accords with our
own sincere scntimcnts-andw we quote
as follows:
The middle classes of our people, the
merchants, farmers and mechanics. who
have had cOmmon-school education. are
right-iceling as well as right-thinking
They have good hearts. They are not
vicious and malignant and ifappcals to
their worse nature are ever successful.
as indeed they are often so, it is because
those appeals arc not adequately met by
better influences. Human passions are
strong and easily inflamed. But there
is good enough in human nature. if pro-
pcrlv handled, to Ovcr-match the bad.
Our own experience in trusting to the
noblcr impulses Of the pcoplc--in ap-
pealing to their higher and pnrcr ma
ture as agaiuA. their basor tendencies
is in every way encouraging, so that we
have come to believe it is always safe
to rely upon the good intentions Of the
people. and therefore we have long
since ceased to consider their passions
as anything other than shadows to be
scattered by the sunshine of free. fca"-
less. intelligent discussion. 1t is never
dangerous to let the light in among the
people. The powers of darkness pre-
vail only when they have it all
their own way. or are resisted by feeble
and deficient ministers of instruction.

Swing Out the Land,

The New York Hera'Ns Washington
correspondent states that since the arri-
val of Rear-Admiral Inglefcld in this
country, six weeks ago, as naval at
tache to the British Legation at Wash
ington, he has been inquiring infinitely
and thoroughly into our navy and mill
tary condition. In this he has had ev-
cry facility from our government. He
has already inspected the defences at
New York and along the New England
coast, and was lately ordered by Minis
ter Thornton to visit New Orleans to
inspect the defenses of that and other
Southern ports. All this excites much
comment among the army and navy Of
ficcrs.
