FROM THE BOARD.
A communication from the Board of AL.

BODY at its last session (Which has alresdy

Under the call for motions, orders, and

nance to create Board Of Commissioners on
Highways, Commerce, and Manufactures.
It provides that on the fourth Wednesday

questions Of the day, both State and
National. For, unless thoroughly IA
,n;Iiar with the affairs, be viii not be
able to represent the people and pro-
tact their interests, nor reform the
s,r;evances which affect them, II he be
Not learned in national politics, he
viii not exercise the influence nor have
the weight he should have, IN the ma
tional councils -.
Such an one Is General Quarles.
While he has been connected wlshpoh-
ties all his life, and Is thoroughly
versed in State and national politics,
he is neither professional politician,
a marty hack, or fossil. On the con-
trarv. he is a live, active man, but not
with that liberality which is ready to
Weld political principle and compound
with the enemies of free government.
He was the representative soldier IN
war. and his scars received on the last
bloody field In Tennessee, attest his de-
yotion to what he believed to be the
| cause of freedom, while he never be-
longed to the secession party. DIS
Democracy was the national school,
and whatever abstract views he may
have entertained, he chung to the
Union as long as he believed there was
a Union to cling to. As he was faith
fuI in war. so in peace he has always
been foremost in all public enterprises,
ready with his counsel, his means and
his personal service; and if elected to
the United States Senate, be
will bring practical knowledge OF the
condition, the resources and the com
mercial and industrial demands of Ten
nessee, second to those OF no man II
the State. He will be an efficient Ia
borer for river and other internal I'M
provements, and the regulation OF com
mercial lines with reference TO oul
great commercial interests, the devel
opment of our broad iron and Goa
fields, and the building up OF manu-
features. To this end he will labol
earnestly to bring the tariff to such
strictly revenue basis as will brlna
eastern capital flowing down 70 the de
velopment of the neglected iron lands
of our State, and find profitable IN
yestment In manufactures, making eul
State independent of all the world, ant
bringing an era Of prosperity and
greatness.
If his name shall be presented to h'
Legislature, the people of the Stats
may be assured that his candidacy vii
be conducted upon those lofty princi
pies of devotion to his State and th'
principles of his party, which hav'
heretofore characterized him, by gen
erous bearing towards his opponents
and they may be sure he viii never per
NIT personal ambition TO interfere witt
the triumph of his party in the selec
| ton of a Senator.

THE st. Louis Republicans minated
a short time ago that Gen. Sherman had
no command of the troops In Louisiana
that, in fact, he did not know what
they were doing. except as he learned
it through the newspapers. The
question it now asks Is, who does
command these troops-who sent
them there-and who set. them at
the unwarlike task of cutting
telegraph wires? By virtue of his posi-
ton as General in the army, Sherman
lists commander, and no one mas right
TO order the troops under his command
TO Louisiana or any other point with
out such order passing under his IN
tpection. We suspect he knows more
about this matter than he would be
willing to tell.
