THE BLUNDERERs.

We have steadily contended that the
Democratic administration of affairs in
Tennessee has not only been failure, but
a regular succession of inexcusable blum
ders. If those controlling affairs were a
set of acknowledged blockheads, their want
of brains would hardly justify the want OF
purpose they have exhibited. The first
Democratic Legislature blundered through
months, drawing their per diem, drink
ing mean whisky and repeating laws
passed by their Republican prede-
cessors. They repealed the school law and
for four years the poor children Of the
State were without the benefits of educa-
tion.1This was not only blunder-it was
black shameful crime. Their own Or
gans are beginning to acknowledge what
has been said about laundering incapacity.
The same Legislature that rendered itself
Infamous by repeating the school law
elected Henry Cooper to the United States
Senate. He is good clever sort of man,
but has scarcely been heard from. Here is
what the Memphis appeal says of him:
Cooper has filled his seat for two years
anu LAS U66u DIS Uuil1U dS I'LL oyster. lie
sits erect in his seat like block of wood,
but his head seems to be as devoid of brains
as the boots upon his feet. No man in
the United States Senate ever made such a
barren and empty record. He is as stolid
IS Winnie Ream's statue of Lincoln, and
as useless as Beau Hickman. He debates
nothing, proposes nothing, and is as in
consequential in all things as the cushion
ed chair on which he lazily wastes his
worthless life. In order to show his pow
erty-stricken character, and the utter want
of ability, we intend to sift the chaff of the
congressional debates to see how many
grains of wheat we can winnow from
COOper's record. -
This, be it remembered, is from lead
ing organ of the party that elected him.
This is the man taken up to beat Andy
Johnson, because Andy had been loyal to
the Government. ...se-
But this is only one of their smallest blum
ders. If Cooper is dummy, he is honest,
no doubt; but this can not be said of all
others who have been elevated to place
and position by the corrupt Democratic
leaders in Tennessee. The Union and
American can not understand the logic
whereby the Democratic administration of
the State government has earned areputa-
ton for laundering, but even that old
grandmother viii get her eyes open soon.

APPLICATION FOR HABEAs CORPUS
As We stated yesterday, Robert Miller,
who was fined by Judge Rodgers and
sentenced to serve on the chain gang for
ten days in default OF payment, has ap-
pesled from Judge Rodgers to Judge
Cochran, the case coming up in the
nature Of writ Of ha6eaS corpus. Mil.
Ter claims that Rodgers has no authority
to convict or sentence him; that having
been appointed to fill the office for a
special purpose he cannot act as Judge
when a vacancy occurs.
The case came up before Judge Coch'
ran yesterday morning Mr., McSwords
appearing for Miller.
Owen Conrey also applied for a writ
of habsas corpus 70 take him off Of the
chan gang, he also alleging a want OF
authority in Judge Rodgers to convict
and sentence him.
Judge Cochran held that the Mulch
palCourt was created as mercy to Of
tenders as we'll as protection to citizens.
The only question is Judge Rodgers
authority to convict and sentence under
appointment of the City Council; to
EXCISE the powers Of Judge without re-
appointment. every time one Of the con.
tingeucies mentioned in the act creating
the Municipal Court, should arise. The
Judge held that underline amendment
passed by the legislature in 1868, trans
posing the language Of the orgi.
nal;act, and perhaps under the original
act itself, Judge Rodgers has ample and
full authority to exercise the powers OF
Police Judge under the appointment Of
the City Council. The application for
habeas corpus was refused.

RIVER NEws.-The river was swell
ing rapidly at this point last night
When we were last at the msrks there
was about Is feet in the chaunel, and
swelling at the rate Of nine inches an
hour.
The report of the loss of life and pro-
perty and fears of flood at Pittsburg,
will be found INCUR Geographic COL
umns.
When the news reached this city it
produced almost panic, and the feel
ing of uneasiness was augmented by a
report, originated no one knows how or
where, that the Mayor of this city had
received dispatch from the Mayor OF
Pittsburgh, warning him to look out for
q greater flood than that OF 1852. May
or LETTERS informed US that he had re-
ceived no dispatch of any kind from
the Mayor Of Pittsburgh.
A dispatch by the P. d A, line con-
tanning these ominous words: Look
out for so RISE, was posted at the
Boat Store. Instantly some idiot read
it Look out for SO feet RISE, and
shortly q report was all over the city
that there was tifty-two feet of water at
Pittsburgh. But it would take col
umn or two to tell all the rumors that
prevailed, having no foundation but the
thin amount Of brains in the heads Of
their originators.
We enquired diligently of our best
posted river man, and they give it IS
their opinion that there is not the
slightest cause for alarm. Had the rise
been as great iu the Allegheny, they
cay, as in the Mononghela then we
might look for trouble. but that because
there ia no water in the,Allegheny, We
will not probably have over thirty or
thirty-five feet OF water here.
Our best information is that there is
not the slightest cause to fear a food,
nor would q food have been anticipat-
ed but for the unfortunate breaking
loose OF the steamers and barges at
Pittsburgh yesterday morning,
The Andes is to-day's Cincinnati

3 o'clock this afternoon. She is one Of
the most popular boats in the trade,
and one We can recommend to trav.
