NEVER was paper so profusely and
gratuitously distributed in Tennessee as the
Banner during the last canvass. 1t went
out weekly by the thousand. 1t is safe to
say that when the Banner commenced to
circulate for Mr.. johnson he would have
received seventy thousand votes. Now be
will receive but little over half that number.
If the canvass had continued three weeks
longer and the Banner had continued 10
circulate as gratuitously and vigorously as
ever, it is probable from strict arithmetical
calculation that Mr.. Johnson's vote would
not have exceeded twenty Thousand.
All know that this is not zttri-
butable to Mr.. Johnson's weakness.
All admit thst he is strong man; indi-
viduany, perhaps, the strongest man in the
State, tut then, strong as he is, he could not
carry the Banner with its very gratuitous
circulation. The ordinary circulation of
the Bonner would have beea enough to
crush giant. How could Mr.. Johnson be
expected 10 stand up under the increase
which was gratuitously given to the pub

IN the State of Wisconsin there is a sta,
tube which declares that "Any person who
shall furnish an elector who cannot read,
with ticket, informing him that it contains
name or names different from those
which are written or printed thereon, with
an intent to induce him to vote contrary to
his inclination, or who shall fraudulently or
deceitfully change a ballot of any elector
by which such elector shall be prevented
from voting for such candidate or candi-
dates as he intended, shall, on conviction
thereof, be imprisoned in the State prison,
years, nor less than one year" There
should be such law in every State, and it
should be vigorously enforced.

CHEAP FARES.

The question of cheap fares on railroads
is to receive practical solution in Massa-
chusetts. The Legislature of that State
passed law last winter providing that when
a certain number of persons living on the
line of railroad, should petition the man
ayers for the same, they should put on two
daily trains at reduced rates of fare, to be
run at hours that will accommodate work
ing people in going to and returning from
the place of their employment. The Bos-
ton Advertiser states that petitions have
been presented to the Eastern Railroad, and
the officers of that company, though denying
the competency of such legislation, and aver
ring that the proposed rates will not pay
the expense Of running the trains, announce
that they viii try the experiment, and run
an additional train between Lynn and Bos-
ton. The fare will be five cents, without
reference to how far the passengers may
ride. That is, the tickets will be sold twenty
for one dollar. Such an arrangement will
enable working and tradespeople to live all
along the road from Boston to Lynn, nine
miles, and attend TO business in the
frst-named city at a cost for riding no
greater than is demanded for a mile trip
on one of our street cars. The experiment
is interesting, as upon its solution may de-
pend similar legislation in other States. 1t
is important that the mechanics and work
ing men of large cities should have COM
Portable homes at reasonable rents. These
points cannot be reached while such homes
are located in the densely crowded portions
Of cities. The only way to effect the re-
form is to so cheaper communication with
the suburbs of city as to allow working
men to live where rents are cheap. This is
the consummation aimed at by the Massa-
chusetts law, and that is the bold it has
upon the masses. How the scheme will
work remains to be, seen.

THE Radical party have constantly ex-
pressed friendship for the South in their
platforms, organs and professions. The
South does not want words of sympathy,
but such as will enable them to live and
prosper. They have had abundance of ine
promises from the administration, but in
the four years that Grant has been in office
nothing has been done to prove that his
promises were sincere or made to be kept.
He has now another four years of Office,
and there is no assurance that we shall
have the slightest improvement on the past.

fishes letter full of indignant protest at
the order to him to leave France. We do
not know what law authorizes the act un-

plenty of precedents for it under the En-

only exiled from France, but were sent
to perish in its penal colonies.

on the approaching celebration of the cen.

what manner of man is to preside over this
Jubilee? And continues: "Gen. Grant
has no place there. He has added nothing
to the productive power of his country, or
to its industrial triumphs. Speeches on
nearly every occasion, he can have nothing
to say about those interests which are in
terwoven with the nations prosperitY.n

THINGS have got mixed up considerably.
Among the persons having claims before
the Government, is Mrs. Read, Of Fair
Church, Va, whose husband was taken
from his home and shot by Mosby's "guef-

novice. A claim of this character cannot
be countenanced. Mosby is a supporter Of

be. Any such reflection upon Mosby's
character cannot be entertained. This Gov

The Banner says that the UNION AND
AMERICAN is salways taking leave Of
somebody and always in turn getting left
Well, it is true that the Banner has slef.o
US, but we are not disappointed. We knew
that before the election, when Col. Colyar
wished to run as an independent" candi-
date for Governor, the Banner not only re-
fused to support him, but even refused to
publish, as an advertisement, bis announce
ment as candidate, because it preferred
Grant man as q candidate for Governor
against Gov. Brown. We also know that
again and again we endeavored to draw
out this "original" Greeley journal
upon Governor, candidates for Congress in
this district, and members of the Legisla-
ture, but could get nothing BY the "draw."
The morning after the election, when State
after State came piling in, one upoh top of
the other, in favor of Grant, then the Ban
ner saw how Gen. Grant Hhad exercised
with singular moderation the extreme pow
ers which Rad been conferred upon him."
There again the Banner s'left" us, for we
could not see it in that light. Thus does
the Banner leave us. It

The generous Irishmen of Nashville
know that the UNION AND AMERICAN de-
Tended and maintained their rights when
those rights were asssiled and in danger.
and when the Banner led the assault against
them. They know that the UNION AND
AMERICAN has been the uniform friend of
the immigrant Irish and German for thirty
seven years past. They know it defended
them when they were few and had few
friends here in this anti Democratic
city. They know further that the
UNION AND AMERICAN labored
up to the last moment for the nomination
of ex-President Andrew johnson. We
ceased our advocacy of his claims, only
when the Tennessee Democracy had spoken.
We knew that Mr. Johnson, running sin
DEPENDENT" under the auspices of the
Banner, Colyar & Co., could not possibly
be elected. We know that under such aus
pices three-fourths of his old political
friends would not sustain him, as against
the regular nominee. The UNION AND
AMERICAN was Democratic enough to
want Maynard defeated, and therefore we
urged Democrats to mass on the stronger
man. The election returns sadly prove
that we were right. To such of our Irish
citizens as preferred the election of Maynard
to either johnson or Cheatham, we have
nothing TO say. Such as preferred johnson
to Maynard know that we would have
been with them, if Mr.. johnson had been
the nominee
