one FEATURE OF THE VICTORY,

The ground swell' of Tuesday has even
shook to its very centre the Democratic
stronghold of Tennessee. The grand out
burst of patriotic indignation that repealed
the corrupt Greeley coalition, swept over
Tennessee TO rebuke the over-bearing, vim
dictive and sectional spirit that has per
vaded the extreme secession wing of the
Democratic party. The revolt of the
people of this commonwealth against
the partisan, anti-Americau policy
OF the party in power has been so for
midable and irresistible as to con
found and terrify the leaders who
for so long time, have rested unconcern-
ed and over-contident in their official sta
tions. They have presumed, upon a strong
party feeling and sectional prejudices, to
tolerate them in abuses of power that I'M
der ordinary circumstances would have
hurled them from authority. They have
rested secure in their strong partisan ma
jority, TO force upon their voters, men
wholly unfit for and unworthy of the
offices to which they aspirsd. Corrupt
intolerant and incompetent, their leaders
have so far outraged every sense of honor
and patriotism that now in an unexpected
hour, they are called to account for their
stewardship. The thunders of the battle
have not yet died away far enough to ena-
BILE US at this writing clearly to give the
extent of the peoples rebuke, but
enough is already known to say that
hereafter we shall have better
Government in Tennessee, for the people
have shown a determination TO think and
act for themselves and hold their rulers to
a strict accountability for the trusts confid-
ed to them.
This is the meaning of Tuesdays YER
dict, and gloriously significant days
work it was. Now for more progressive,
more national, more hopeful future for

THE LEGISLATURE.

FROM returns received at the CHRONICLE
office we claim the election of the follow
ing Republican members of the Lepisla-
ture from East Tennessee:
The Senators elect are-Patton. from the
first; Mcconnell, third Richards fourth :.
Melton, fifth Morgan, sixth. The rro-
liabilities are favorable to the election of
McElwee in the seventh and Welsh in the
second
Inc Representatives elect are-Hyder.
from Carter and Johnson; West, Wash
lngton; Tate, Hamblen and Granger ::
Reagan, Cooke and Sewer Cottren, Clai-
borne and Hancock ; Eckel, Jefferson :;
Bales, Blount; earns, Knox; Houk.
Knox and Anderson Martin, Lou
don and Monroe; Wester, Roane ::
Maglli, McMinn; Duncan, Union
Campbell and Scott; Snyder, Ham
llton; 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 nave strong hopes now that the Re-
puolicans and Independents will control
the next Legislature, though several "Bat-
terlhg Ran" 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

RICHMOND, VA, Nov. S.-SiXty-eight

most of them officially. The Democrats
lose in these 1850, while their gain is on

side of their loss. This leaves only about
$500 of the Conservative majority of 1869
to be overcome in the remaining "a coun-

ratio in these counties, Grants majority
will be about 5000. Present indications

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.E 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 " Battering Ram" district,
indignant at the shameful proscriptive
spirit that mapped it out two hundred and
fitty 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 9Th 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
should prove a valuable lesson to such mar
row-minded partisans as have ruled in
Tennessee for two years.

The October elections showed the rooster was
growing worse and he WAS put under medical
treatment in every Greeley Office On Tues
day morning last, the big organ got grape
vine news from "Louisiana' that it had gone
for Greeley, and to cheer the faithful it got out
an extra with flaming headlines, "Hurrah,"
next morning it had him carefully handled, fed
and rubbed down. There was n smile Child
like and bland" on the countenance of the
Junior" editor who figured so largely in the
nominee" he didn't support worth a cent,
while contemplating what "a fine figure his bird
would cut in the organ next morning

had already heard of the avalanche" started

THE unstinted abuse heaped upon An
drew Johnson by the Bourbon Democracy
for his devotion TO the Union in 1861 was
both unddeserved and impolitic. The pro-
scrp'ive spirit of the Cheathamites lost

it has always been with the extreme De-
mocracy since their advent in power in
Tennessee. Wherever they could do it
they have seemed dnEious TO show Con-
sentative Union men they only wanted
their 0otes. Has the sacrifice Of Johnson
opened their eyes?
