ANDY JOHNSON'S BIG ROW.

A political contest is raging in Tennes-
see at present that presents some features
Of very remarkable character. In max
ing nominations for Congress all the OPP
ponents of President Grant agreed to
unite their forces for the purpose of Sc
Letting candidates that would combine the
most strength in favor of the ticket nomi-
mated at Cincinnati and Endorsed at Balti-
more. Under this agreement the friends
of ex-President Johnson presented his
name, and it was generally understood
that he would be nominated for Congress.
But the old secession Democracy had
continuance to defeat this plan Of COM
promise in Tennessee, just as they had in
Louisiana. They were Wiling to shake
hands with everybody everywhere, but
they had to be hunted up and paid
for the job. They set to work to
defeat Johnson, and they accomplished
their purpose by packing the convention
with old secessionists who prefer Con-
federate to a Federal all the time. A man
named Cheatham was pitted against John
son, and he cheated his way to nomina-
ton. Then Andy and his friends, who
are a sort of radical body at all times, de-
clared that if they were to be put down
for their Union sentiments they intended
to make a square fight about it before
they would submit. And johnson has
taken the stump in his own cause, and he
pushes the matter home, to the infinite
disgust of Cheatham, who is nothing with
out his Confederate title. The war and
all it's issues is being fought over, and the
bile Of the secession element is being poured
upon the devoted head of the Unionist,
as johnson is called, until it runs down to
his very feet. But the row is not all
on one side. Johnson holds his own and
Of the enemies. He is the
most powerful popular debater in the
State, and he tells all that he knows. He
avows his fidelity to the Union, declares
his horror of the rebellion, and points to
the ruin and misery all over the country
that sustain him in his convictions. What |
he predicted has come to pass, and he
points to the Democracy as the author of
all the ruin that prevails. 1t is a bully
fight, and the best of it is that Johnson
stands a splendid chance of beating Cheat
ham.
Wedeprecate this opening of old wounds,
but Andy Johnson did not begin the con-
troversy.

An immense meeting Of the citizens of

the usual order, consisting of a great deal
Of talking, and the ultimate adoption Of

disorders that afflicted Chicago, and the
remedy suggested was to shut up the
whisky shops on Sunday. The pro-

adopted, We note :hjs matttey Sos ghe

The general superintendent of the Michi-

whisky, ale, beer or other Intoxicating

the eating houses attached to the stations.

SPEAKER BREWSTER ON THE SIT

SPEAKER BREWSTER ON THE STUMP.
We have received a copy of a supple
ment to the Equal Rights, a paper pub
Ished in Monroe, by James Brewster.
The supplement contains long but very
effective speech of Speaker 0. H. Brewster,
in which the history of Louisiana Demo
cracy, since the war, is reviewed in the
plainest terms. The legislation of 1867
claims his special attention. Unfortunate
ly for the interests of those Democrats
who are now soliciting the negro VOTE he
makes extracts from FIVE different so-calIed
vagrant laws passed at that session, by
which the colored people were practically
reduced to a state of vassalage but little,
if any, preferable to that from which they
had been nomlnally relieved by the thir-
teenth amendment
These oppressive enactments have been
swept away by the Republicans, and now
belong to the rubbish Of the past. But
Mr.. Brewster makes of them all the use
that it is possible for a logical mind to
make; he uses them as an illustration of
the truth: ''What a man has done, that he
will do again.
Mr.. Brewster also pays his respects to
Mr.. Lusher, and gives several extracts
from his circular letters to local school
boards in 1866, which prove conclu8i7ely
that DE nominee Of the Democracy for
the high position Of Superintendent of
Public Education was at that time opposed
to educating the inferior race, Per
haps some Of the gentlemen to whom he
refers as knowing d1im SO long and well
can tell us what are his sentiments now.
