The news from various sources indicate :
change in the minds of the people in regard
TO the lale Senatorial election in Kansas.
Senator Pomeroy ia not generally exculpat
ed, but it is believed that the means made
use of for his defeat was far more dasfardly
than the actions Of Mr.. Pomeroy. We are
ready to admit that politically Mr.. Pomeroy
is down and may never be able to rise again,
but that man York who betrayed HE conf
dence, will hereafter be looked upon as q
mean, Low, cowardly wretch, and after his
present term of Office expires, he can never

aI know of several members of the House
Who have money in their pockets now for
their votes. / will not state now who they
are. but will develop the facts at the proper
time"
These are the words of Mr.. York in his
speech against Senator Pomeroy, on the 18th
ult., in Joint convention.
On the 9th, instant, in the Senate, he Mr..
York;, made this remarkable statement:
He va. perfectly willing and anxious to tell
the committee ~hat Pomeroy had said in his
presence, but there uas 40 po,cer on earth that
wouH compel him to make specific charges q
corruptios against any n>n'ber Of this legisda-
tuye, based on whai had been fo'd him by man
who had deoeired him oacc. The statement
made by him in joint session, in relation to
what had transpired between him and Pom
eroy, wss true, and he would 80 state 1t
under oath; but he was not prepared to say
what his illusions were to other members on
that occasion, from the fact that at the eone'u-
sion Of his speech he ras someThdt erci'ed, al
though he had made his statement in regard 10
Pomeroy rery deliberately"
Contrast. this language with what goes be-
fore. All We ask of Mr.. York is that he
make good his words, uttered in joint con-
vention, when the whole assembly was az
palled by the disclosures he pretended to
make. If the house adjourns without com
pelling Mr.. York to make good his words
uttered in joint convention, or confess to
false assertions then each mem
Der of that body will Justly be branded as
q scoundrel. Let not Mr.. York escape under
the plea of somewhat excited" How!
Excited toward. members who had done nc
wrong except as he had heard, and cool to-
wards Pomeroy, whom he knew to be 9
criminal? It's too thin. Let us have names,
Mr.. York, whether you got them from
Pomeroy or any one else, or 60 back to youl
constituents branded, in the language of Mr..
Hutchings as "liar and villain" Mr.,
York has done we'll for the State in one in
stance; let him follow it up in other instances
Let honorable gentlemen see to it, that their
names are not ssained by the imputations Of
man who. apparently, would like to evads
the responsibility he assumed. If this Leg.
islature adjourns without clearing up York,

cslly and morally damned.

The Difference.

The Dispatch tries a parallel between the
case of Mr.. Pomeroy in Kansas. . few days
ago, and the c,se of Mr.. Cameron in Penn
syivania, ten years since Come to think
about il, We do recollect that there was a
large amount of money spent to get some
Democratic votes in the Pennsylvania Legs
lature; but the comparison presents Con-
trass when We reflect on the different uses to
which the money was put in the two cases.
In Kansas, Mr.. York Is dsd his s. .OOC
ovar tn the Lieutenant Governor of the State
in Pennsylvania the Democrats kept the
money and didn't deliver the votes. Quite

door in the hall. He came out and told me
that Mr.. Pomeroy would be at liberty very
soon, and that Colonel Martin, Of the Atch:-

NO REAsoH FOR DIsCouRAaEMENT.

The Legislature of our State failed to pass
an immigration bill, but that does not
mean that the friends of immigration are
to cease making efforts in behalf of the
cause. They should only labor more Wig
orously. What was expected to be done
by public patronage must now be accom-
plished by private enterprise. Instead of
advertising our resources at the ex-
pense of the State, it must be done at
the expense of individuals. The pub
lie press will have an important
part to perform in that behalf. Those who
are looking In this direction for homes,
where they can escape the rigors of
northern climate, or the expressions of
European government, want to know
about our soil, our climate, about society,
about our educational facilities, &c. They
want to know our advantages and our dis
advantages. These should be honestly and
fully stated, so that when the Immigrant
arrives he need not be disappointed and
disheartened. 1t is the business of
the press also to protect immigrants
from LAND sharks, who unfortunately for
us, have been and are still specializing on
our large bodies of unimproved mountain
lands. AS these lands increase in value,
and are more eagerly sought after, the in
ducement to these sharks will be stronger,
and it becomes the press to watch after and
expose their dishonesty. These and many
other items too tedious to mention are to
be watched after by the press. We believe
that Tennessee newspapers, without an
exception, are advocates of immigration,
and will do anything reasonable to bring
population within our bounds.
But the newspapers can not do all that
is necessary to be done without the CO.
operation of the people generally. When
persons arrive among us from the North>
ern States or from Europe, we must con-
tinue to receive them warmly and treat
them kindly. They should be guarded
and protected from the depredations of
those whose business it is to fleece every
stranger who comes into a community.
The wife and children of the stranger
must not be sneered at and ostracised from
society on account of their nationality or
because they were born north or south of

A FEW days ago our dispatches brought
intelligence of what seemed q serious mat
ter in one of the Baltimore churches, grow
ing out of the appointment of pastor
other than the. one desired. The new
Minister preached ON Sunday in the
church. The Sun says:
There was some little dissatisfaction
among the congregation when Mr.. Dashiell
was first appointed to this charge on ac-
count Of their having expected to secure
the services of Rev. DIR. Hatfield, of Gin
cinnati. Bishop Foster, who presided over
the Baltimore Conference Of the M. E.
Church, to which Madison Avenue is at
attached, ruled otherwise, in order to give
the members of said Conference, all an APP
pointment. To this action the congrega-
ton at first demurred. butupon reflection
have decided to accept the position cheer
fully, and the official members as well as
the congregation, it is stated, have cordial
ly received Mr.. Dashie1, and will give him
their united support and cooperation.

three months nor more than two years,

some Washington correspondent has
Matched up o most unlikely story in refer
ence to alleged differences existing between
the President and Gen. Sherman. The
story originated from the appointment of
Secretary Robson, Secretary of War pro
tenn in the absence of Gen. Belknap on his
Western tour, instead of Gen. Sherman.
The reason why General Sherman was not
appointed, is because of a statute OF
1870, prohibiting a military officer from
holding a civil position. In the
opinion of the Attorney General
the appointment of Sherman as Secretary
of War, pro tenn, would have been a viola
tion.of this statute. So the story had about
a. much foundation as great many others
concocted by certain class of men who
make their living by Matching sensations
for the press.
