GRANT proposes 4 partial pardon
of the ku Klux convictS now in the
Albany prison. He says be will par
don the ignorant ones but breathcs
forth threatenings and slaughter for
the intelligent ones. Well, so much
for the Greeley movement. 1t may
be true that Grant needs as many ig-
noramuses as he can now turn loose
from the prisons of the land, and SO
we arc to have a general Jail delivery
of fools, but. notwithstanding the dc
gree just conferred upon him by llar-
ward, we don't believe in Grants cas-
pacity to select them.

THE FIRST TENNESSEE DES-
TF2ECT.
Sullivan County and Andrew
Johnson,

VIM. Green, Esqr., Chairman OF
the first District, has called officially
upon the people Of the various coun-
ties thereof to assemble in primary
meeting at their Court Houses, on the
the LIST day Of August, and appoint
delegates to Convention to be held
at Morristown on the fifteenth of Au-
gust, to nominate candidate for
Congress.
We presume this call will be re-
sponded to, but it will DO found
quite difficult, we think, TO have it
obeyed by sufficient number of the
people to render it satisfactory.
the old rule of making useful the
County Court days. can hardly be
improved upon. and should have been
observed in this case. The number
of aspirants is rather unprecedented,
and the greatest regularity should be
observed in order to make 4 nomina-
ton, both potential and popular. 1t
vii be found, that, while we can car
ry the First District, it will require
our whole strength. displayed under
the very best management, to do it.
The radicals are likely to nominate
4 new man who will perhaps develope
more strength than Judge Butler has
left. Our selection should be wisely
made. The nominee should be both
bold and able, and if he should i'm.
part to tie campaign an unusual de-
gree of activity, he will yet find his
majority none too large. The truth
is. the District has to be Weakened mp.
We have believed, and yet believe,
that the key note of our success will
be the genuine old war-whoop Of Sui
Ivan, and that, if Messrs. Haynes
and Mcclellan can become reconciled
in their antagOnistic candidacy, we
shall need but one more fortuitous
event to secure for us the permanent
of the District. That
event is tic nomination of Hon. An
drew Johnson fer the State at large.
Mr.. johnson would sound for us the
bugle note of organization. The PEG.
pie have lost their ancient accuracy
of political rcconing. The log book
has become unreliable. Our latitude
and longitude are no longer accurate
ly known. We want a leader. The
issues of the day and the
partial fusion of parties have confu>
scd the pupular understanding. Re
and q rctracing OF our
boundaries have become indispensable.
MIR. johnson will give us an active
canvass which will awaken the mcm-
Dry of the glorious past which VIC
have SO nearly forgotten and wholly
ceased to make our guide for the pres
ent. The talk about Gen. Cheatham
S simply stuff, The mighty events
rom which We have emerged seem
o have dwarfcd and degraded our
and marks. Thank God the nomi-
ration of Horace Greeley seems to |
AVE broken up the great deep Of
popular thought and the paralysis Of |
RATIONAL feeling. The people long to
become nation. In Tennessee we
ind the enemy contcsting only the
irst district. We mast lace The State
nd it is no selfish pride which fills
Is with the hope that to Sullivan will
,e conceded the nomination and that
Andrew Johnson may be allowed as
,ur State nominee to commence here |
It home that grand round which
would most surely give the enemies
# our peace that martial drubbine
which, to come bluntly to the point,
hey have for seven years been stink
ng for.

years, they hold another consultation
