TENNESSEE POLITICS.
views of a Correspondent ON the Sit
uatfOn.

uatiOn.
To the Union and American:
The polite situation in Tennessee
very natul ally excites solicitude In the
mind of every sincere opponent of the
Republican party. The ascendancy of
that party in Tennessee would be pub
lie calamity. Bu. 70 2 wy l1rgc,a ma
jority of the people OF Tennessee tins
proposition is trriism. The practical
question is, how is the return of that
party to power In Tennessee to be pre-
vented? 1t is clear that it cannot be
done if the Conservative elements In the
State continue divided as they were In
1872 Those elements must be reunited
to enable them to retain the control of
the State government. This result can
be achieved in only one way, and that
is by the impartial dispensation of po-
htical Justice in the bestowment and
distribution of the offices and patronage
in the gift of a majority of the people.
There is a class of Conservative men in
Tennessee, and their numerical strength
will always be considerable hereafter,
who are determined to do right in pol
itics. They are not professional politi-
clans and are entirely destitute of any
anxiety for political promotion. They
are by no means fastidious about party
names, but would cooperate with any
organization giving the best promise of
ability to dislodge and overthrow the
party that has so long controlled the
country. They have no objection
to the name Democratic, and there
are many reasons why they would
prefer it; but they heartily sympa-
thize with the views expressed in the
recent letter of Mr., Groesbeck in re-
gard to the continuation and future
usefulness of the Democratic party.
Like him, if a majority of the conser-
vative people of the country still pre-
fer to align themselves under that BAN
ner, they will acquiesce in the general
Judgment. They are not devoted to the
fortunes of any one man any further
than the good of the country, the har-
mony of the party, and political justice
may demand But they will counte-
nance no sort of political prescription.
No man will be permitted by their in
fluence to be set aside because he was,
in the past, Union man or a Rebel,
Wing or a Democrat.
Gov. J. G. Brown announced in his
speech at Lebanon last year the only
true principle, upon which a national
party can hope to be successful in Ten
nessee or elsewhere when he said that
he did not propose to ''cuss or discuss"
anybody's record previous to 1865. I'm
der any other platform he could not
have been reelected Governor of Ten
nessee, and ought not to have been.
The quotation in your issue of the
18th from the Shelbyuille Commercial,
has about it the ring of the true metal.
Andrew Johnson must not be made
dividing line in the Democratic party,
1t is not desirable that he should par
ticipate in the next canvass except in
harmony with the party; but still less
is it desirable that politicians of COM
handing influence should exert them
selves outside of the party to compass
his defeat for any position when it has
been demonstrated that he is the choice
of majority of the party.

CUBA has but little over one mil
lion inhabitants, but in 1869 her i'm
ports were forty-three and = half mil

millions. In 1870, despite the war, her
sugar and tobacco crop was valued at

The Cleveland TENN Banner says
of the recent outrages in Cuba; with
a Gen. jackson in the Presidential chair,
this thing could not be done with i'm
punity. If our Government does not
take Cuba, and punish the authors of
this, the last and greatest of the long
catalogue of Spanish atrocities and in
suits, we deserve that they should be
T.eneated -

New YORK continues to spread and
of course to grow in population and
wealth. By the addition of Westches-
ter county that city has nearly doubled
her area; from twenty-five square miles
she has increased to forty-one, adding
over twelve thousand acres, and raising
her population to within fraction of a
million. The new addition is bounded
by the Bronx river, the Hudson and
Harlem rivers, and on the north by a
line drawn from the southern limit Of
the city of Yonkers to the Bronx river,
above Woodlawn The towns of Nor
risiana, West Farms and Knights
bridge will constitute wards of New
York after Jan. /, and gas. water and
police will be extended thither as soon
as possible. The project Of annexation
met with very little opposition.

ABOUT two months ago a report was
extensively circulated that two ladies'
Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Chambers
living near Madison, Georgia, had fallen
heir to an estate of twelve million dol
lars in France. Mr.. Judah P Benja-
min writes from London on the 29th of
October, that the story is an absurd
fable, and that there is not one word of
truth in it from beginning to end.
Those ladies have been duped by a
swindler. who has imposed upon their
credulity.

IT is not improbable that some of the
pictures Of distress growing out the
suspension of work in many of the
manufacturing establishments in the
North have been overdrawn. The Phil
adeiphia Ledger deplores the over-state-
ments Of financial and manufacturing
troubles which have gone forth from
the various districts of Pennsylvania.
1t considers the pictures of distress
among the laboring classes there alto
gether too highly colored. This is very
gratifying. no doubt, and we notice the
Ledger'S view of the situation with
pleasure.

THE New York Tribune makes a
good suggestion as to how to return to
silver change and retire the "shinplas-
ters." That paper says the first at
tempt made by the Treasury to substi-
tute metal currency for the paper
postal &inplaster was the drawing in
of the three cent and then of the five
cent paper notes, and issuing in lieu
thereof the three cent and FIVE cent
nickel coin we have to-day. So, let
the Treasury Department follow along
with the same plan it began several
years back, and next substitute silver
dime for the present paper ten cent
note. Then, when the amount of silver
bullion will warrant, gradual withdraw
the twenty-five cent notes and put on
the silver quarter. In proper time
the half" and lastly the silver dollar.

THE smallpox is steadily on the in
crease in Montreal and other parts of
Canada. 1t has gradually gone north

cholera travel in that direction; the ep-

that takes a southern tour.

THE Northern mills recently closed
are not resuming work as expected,
the low price in goods rendering such a
step inadvisable. No resumption can
be looked for until there is a decided

THE JoneSborough Herald and Tri-
bu,le, contrasting the condition of Eu-
rope and America, says: Not a single
enterprise in Europe is at a stand-still
Not a railroad company has been forced
TO a reduction Of time or wages. Not a
single cotton factory has suspended or
even been embarrassed" Our Repub-
lean contemporary naturally concludes
that Europe is solvent and America
bankrupt, financially considered. But
1t fails to lay the blame for this unnat-
ural anomaly where it belongs-at the
door Of its own party, with its paper
promises, national bank favoritism and
general substituting Of swirdling enter
prises.
