WHAT OF THE FUTURE ?

Judge Houk, of Knox, in his letter to
Senator Jones, Gays some things, of which it
may be well for the Democracy of Tennes-
sae to make note. We make the follow
ing extracts:
81 shall surely commit myself, 'to no
man or party npon funding or snti-fund-
ing"
ain the last campaign an opportunity was
luckily offered of presenting the principles
of the Republican party to the masses,
white and Colored, and the result was an als
most complete victory. Our final triumph
is in the neal future, if we are still Rspub-
iicsus, as | trust and believe We are, and
will so continue, regardless Of efforts to al
lure and beguile rs TO enlist under new
flag"
$50 far as | know, there is not a ripple in
the Republican current Of East Tennessee
there IS no disposition nor tendency
among Republicans in this part Of the State
to form new alliances.
"The Republicans have fought together in
the past for the reason that they have been
agreed among themselves in their adher-
ence TO strictly Republican principles. Diff
ferences of opinion, as to minor matters of
east, and hear of 10 desire to take "a
new departure in the future.
"Tbe Republican party is pIedgedto aid in
restoring, and il possible maintaining the
credit Of the Stste.
"Thile that is true, it by no means follows
that Republicans arc to assume the role OF
tFunders' or 'Anti Funders,' for the very
GOOD reason that, ITO FUND.- or MOT TO
FUND are questions about which men of
sense, and Of financial capacity are not
agreed as the better credit measure, and be-
cause the Republicans have not heretofore
and will not hereafter, consent to the abau-
donment of fixed and well defined plat
form of principles and enter upon struggle
over one isolated and single question of
State policy! Not at all. 1t would be an
extreme act Of political folly, and the great
mass OF the people would look upon the
movement in that light. However, there
is a class of political nOn-deScriptS, who ap-
near quite anxious that something should
happen whereby they may be lifted from
obscurity and insignifcance, to promi-
nence and importance that neither their
talents nor political code Of morals would
Justify, The would be leaders of this hoped
for movement are as reckless as pirates.
They hope sfor something TO turn up
and are ever ready for an adventure! l
have no quarrel with them--they have no
PARTY and want One-they are out OF doors,
who can blame them for seeking shelter"
The Judge concludes his letter by stat
ting that he sis not now, does not desire
nor expect to be candidate for Governor"

THE Harrisburg Patriot says: "There
is something very curious in the silence OF
the Republican platforms Of his year on
the subject Of the President. The Gum
diminished confidence" in him which over.
flowed in the platforms of over year ago,
finds no place in those of the present day.
There was State Republican Convention
in Iowa, and another in Maine, few days
ago, but both forgot to pass the usual reso-
luton of approval of the administration"
These are significant omissions. Perhaps
the masses of the Republican party are
getting their eyes opened as to the charac-
ter of the Grant administration.

THE silly Radical clamor about the dis
banding of the Democratic party moves the
Pittsburgh Post to say: "The Democratic
party is now possessed of more positive
strength than it ever had, for there are at
this moment more men readyto vote with
it than in its palmess days. All it has to do
is to adhere to its organization and its time
honored principles, and be careful in the
choice Of is leaders, and win it must and
will We express this decided opinion sim
ply because we believe this country has
great mission to perform, and that its per-
Torrance must needs be commit ted to the
Democratic party"

IN the present contest the Richmond
Wing thinks that the question 'whether
the producing classes, embracing nineteen
twentieths of the population, have any
rights, is the great issue involved" The
producing classes of Illinois and Iowa have
asserted their rights, and now the question
is, will they act up to their declarations.

AMONG the gigantic projects of the sge is
one in relation TO retaining the so-caled
great Colorado desert. The plsn proposed
is TO convert the waterless basin into an in
land sea, by turning into it the Colo, ado
river at or near Fort Yuma, the same to be
used fer the purposes Of irrigation and nav
igation, and party of engineers are already
on their way there, backed by San Francis
co capitalists, to make the preliminary sur

THE San Francisco Examiner is justly
indignant at the prospect of the enfran-
chisement Of Chinese in California. 1t
says: "The effects Of certain Radical legis-
lation in the past must be countervailed, or
the greatest danger Of all the future can
have in store for us as a people will be the
throngiDg of naturalized pagans to the bal
lot-boxes as the political equals of Chris
tian American citizens"

PROF. JOSEPH HENRY, of the Smithso-
MAN Institute, being consulted about bal
loon across the Atlantic, suggests prelim
mary vo7age across the American continent,
from the Pacific to the Atlantic, the dis
lance being about the same, and the cur
rent of the air being in the direction from
West to East. The suggestion is a sensi-
BILE one. Itwould perhaps be attended with
less danger to life.

WHEN the tide of opposition to the
salary grab rises to its full height" says The
Lansing (Michigsn) Journal, sit will over
wheim the President, and there it must be
defended, because the President must be
defended" TIE Detroit Tribune, Re-
publican journal, takes different view Of
the subject, and predict that those mem
bers of Congress who fondly hope that the
public indignation with regard to the
"back-pay bounty jump" will prove ephem,
eral, will find out their mistake to their
cost. But what Of the man who, by APP
proving the Bill, made this "back-pay bounty
jump" possible?

The Boston Traveller, Republican
Journal, says: "Certainly no misspprehen-
sion prevails in Washington in Well-inform-
ed circles in respect of the position of the
Administration towards Gen. Butler; for al
though it is not the province Of Gen. Grant
to NEEDLE with State politics, there can be
doubt that the success Of Gen. Butler
would be highly gratifying TO him"
