The very latest political sensation with
which Madame RumOr smuses uey is that
EX-President johnson will be o candi-
date for Congress in this District
Whether Mr.. johnson has given out any
intimations justifying such a report we
know not, but judging from the fact that
aspiration, and not condescension, is
Characteristic Of the man, we doubt its
truthfulness. Powerful on the hastings,
a Colossus in debate, a close calculator, a
shrewd politician and private honesty and
virtue untarnished, he, in spite of the
most bitter and relentless opposition,
strobe through an unbroken succession of
Offices from the dubious A,dermanic
honors of an obscure village to the Presi,
dency of the Nation, as if hisown mere will
made the bent of the public mind con-
form to his individual interests and po-
litical advancement. Popular with the
masses whom he used as the potter his
clay, he had only to ring a few changes IN
the "dear people" and they focked in
multitudes to his standard. But Of late
a peculiarly ill-fortune seems to have
thwarted Mr.. Johnson's ambition. Stung
10 madness by the bitter memories of his
long. hot and unayailing contest with
Congress, he wanted and tried to 60 to
the Senate, topyepge his fancied wrongs and
vindisate his character and history. He
expended the full stretch of his giant en-.
ergies to win the goal, but was Defeated
by the rebels whom he had be~friended,
smnested and restored, and a few Repub>
licans who regarded him as a deserter
from their party. Still more exasperated
than ever, by the rebels, who remember
ed his official e(emeney and interposition
only with tho "basest ingratitude." he
unlimbersd his full>charged artillery upon
the trcacherous suppliants who chad
crooked the hinges of knee" before him
that pardon might follow, and announced
himself an independent candidate against
Gen. Cheatham, for The State-at,large.
At this juncture Msshard entered the
field and threw his pioe,like form into
the thickest Of sks triangular fight.
When the smoke of battle cleared

they are persevering in their efforts to

In many instances crowds of wicked

sentiment and already the corporate aus
thorities of the town have declared them

meet daily for prayer in behalf of this

WHAT WE HAVE To EN-
COURAGE US.

The daily reception Of letters, from
different parts of the Congressional Dis,
trict, affords accommodating evidences that
the choice Of a large Republican majority
vii! fall upon Judge Gillenwaters. They
hold his patriotic counsellings and firm
and mistaken cohesion to the Union, in
the dire days of the war, in grateful re-
membrance. His devoted Unionism stood
the test of the fiery ordeal, when the
hearts Of n vast majority Of Union men
grew faint with despair and we're palsied
with the fear of a failure Of the National
arms. Making the last loyal speech de-
livered in this section in 81, in Sullivan
county, and sugplementing it with the
first Republican speech after the war at
Rogersyille, in answer to Col. Nethcrland,
establishes the deep fcrvor and bold sin.
ccrity of his loyalty and RepubIicanism,
and endears him, by ties Of confidence
and esteem, to the great masses Ct his
party. On account of his Roman frmuess
and reliability in politics, bis unassailable
honesty and unequaled availability, they
are pressing him forward for Congress
with more persiSteucy and determination
than has heretofore been the custom of
the party to urge the claims Of any of
its members in a similar contest.

board that his present status i, littl f.
known and so very uncertain that neither
party can claim his allegiance. These
constant tergiversations have alienatcd
many devoted friends, and he can hardly
90 anything to regain theh affections and
confidence. ~
Its true that solitude and obscurity
are not eongenial to Mr.. Johnson's Fiery
temperament" He is only happy in the
furious whirl and tumult of political war.
fare which are sweeter to his ear than the
awakened "~strains of long.remembered
music and field of contest, covered
with the hecntombs of a slaughtered party,
is more pleasing to his eye than an image
Of the ~lovsliest landscape, From "the
recollections of a busy life and the high
positions that have illustrated its charac.
tor and success, with physical energies
still robust and vigorous, intellectual
power unimpared and ambition still soar
ing on eagle wing, it is impossible for
Mr.. johnson to remain a nonentity in
the political world. He feels now like a
bound giant or a Gagged lion. A con-
seriousness Of power stirs within him. lie
feels that he has not yet done quite
enough for the Constitution and the
flag" That famous dungeon of dark
ness-that secret altar of patriotic prayer
the Sabine Cave is not the only place
he would serve his perishing country.
But, withal, Mr.. Johnsos is sugacious, and
if he carefully deciphors the portents of
the present, he will discover that his time
has not yet come, and bis arm is too
short to grasp that golden seal of popular
appreciation it was once his honor to own.

MeSSrs. Editors 4; In my last letter l
promised to give some reasons Tor my OPP
position to Conventions, held for the pur>
pose of nominating candidates for the
various offices filed by the popular vote.
In the earlier and purer days of the Re-
public conventions we're not known and
whel first introduced it was never ex-
pected that they would run into the abuses
of latter times. IF conventions were ia
vored by the masses (bnt they are rot)
it would require the greatest amount of
honesty and fairness on the part Of those
engaged in them to prevent the greatest
abuses. A half dozen active. shrewd and
energetic men in a county, understanding
each other perfectly and acting in concert,
can control any county convention that
may be called. This can be DOE and
those engaged in the convention in god
faith, will know nothing Of it until thoy
find themselves committed. Every man
who has had anything to do with them
know this to be truth. The honest pco.
pie of the county are often called togeth>
er in conventions with the greatest show
Of fairness and candor, but as often find
themselves the unwilling tools of sharp,
political tricksters. The whole procced>
ings have been cut and dried, and the
country people who are not in the habit
of engaging in public assemblies find
themselves bound and fast before they
have, time to reject and know what they
are doing.
1t is every mans Constitutional right
to ask Office at the hands of his n~eighbors
and fellow>citizenS and the right should
not be abridged by conventions, so.called.
Nine times out of ten the honest masses
will select the right man. if left to them.
Give us a fair chance and if we do not
elect pure and good men we will not COM
plain. In our next we propose to say
something of the qualification and charac-
ter of those who should hold or ask Office.

TIE manner of attacking this giant evil is
so new in this country, that its advocates

Never has such a sensation been pro-
duced In this community before. Since
last Monday week, from "early dawn. to
dewy eve" a bevy Of ladies might have
been seen 10 and around the Saloons doors
engaged in some sort of religious exer-
eises. Never for an hour have they de-
serted their posts, but in SUNSHINE and
in rain they plead with and for those
who frequent these 'dens of evil" Some
