WI are in receipt of the first num-
Der Of the Tennessee Transcript, a week.
ly of thirty-two columns, just started
at Savannah, Hardin county, by Messrs
Thomas H. Paine and William L. Curry,
editors and publishers. Its columns
give evidence of live and earnest news
paper work. Its politics are indicated
as follows:
CAS- regards the political parties as
they now stand before the country,
known as Republican and Democratic,
we un~hesitatingly array ourselves with
the latter. We believe that the ten
dency Of the former is toward central
i%zation, consolidation, and al utter dis
regard for the rights of the States in
their sovereign capacity, a doctrine
against which we have long since been
warned by the ablest and best men of
the land, men whose names will live CO.
equally with American history-amOng
whom none were more earnest IN Oppo-
sition to this Measure than he whose
ashes repose quietly in the bosom of
our own State, the Hero of New Or
leans, the Sage Of the Hermitage the
immortal Jackson, which we find ably
set forth In his Farewell Address at the
close of his Presidential duties"

WHAT A CONFESSION,

The Washington correspondent OF
the ST. Louis Globe expresses the opin-
ion that Richardson means to stick,
and that Grant will not relieve him,
but the correspondent thinks ''the Sec
retary's position is very embarrassing
to the President as well as annoying to
himself" and he adds:
Whether Justly so or not, the gen.
eral feeling among Republicans in
Congress is most decidedly against the
Secretary, so far as the Sanborn coz
tracts were concerned. Even those
who sustain Mr.. Richardson's capacity
as well as integrity, which no one
seriously questions, are disposed to ac.
knowledge that the Developments OF
the investigation, so far as known to
the public, have greatly injured his
usefulness as a public servant. Some
new witnesses are to be heard during
the next few days, whose evidence Will,
it is asserted, be of great interest. 1t
is expected that their testimony Will
close the inquiry. Mr.. Foster says the
report will cause an exciting debate
when made. Some one is bound to be
hurt by it. He is open in expressing
the opinion that the whole inquiry
shows bad conduct in every way; that
the legislation is bad and immoral,
while the contracts were so loosely
drawn, and the management under
them so apparently careless ofreasona-
bic safeguards, that it is difficult to
| avoid censure, or the conviction OF cor
rupt motives and results somewhere at
the very fountain of the business"
Here is a confession from Repubh-
can sources that the legislation which
the Republican party has inflicted up
on the country is dad and immoral.
What a confessionl And the worst of
it is the facts established beyond cavll
the truth of what is here confessed.
How long will men protesting to be
Republicans continue to be deceived
| by such leaders as have assumedto con-
troll their party? These men have al
ready carried the country to 'the dan
gerous edge of things" and it is time
for good men to combine and save
from utter reck and ruin all that is left
Of what was once a great and good
government.

A STRONG pressure has been brought
to bear upon Grant to induce him to
veto the imitation bill if it shall be
passed by Congress, as seems alto
gether probable. The NeU York Ma
ton, a Republican journal, expresses
the opinion that he is committed in
advance to signing the Senate imitation
bill. since his Administration has all
along asserted its right to issue "the
$4,000, 900 reserve" and has acted
upon that idea to the extent of issuing
S26, 900, 900 of it in advance of any law
on the subject. To veto a bill author
izing the Executive to do a thing which
it has already done, the Nation thinks,
would be rather a troublesome feat.
1t Will be remembered that Ben Butler
stated very positively, on the 10th inst,
that Grant would sign the bill, and as
Butler appears to have the a and the
confidence of the President, he would
not likely make a random assertion in
regard to this matter.

GETTING THEIR EYES OPEN.


The organs of Republican sentiment,
since Connecticut has spoken, have dis
covered that all is going wrong at
Washington and that the people cannot
longer be deceived with simply prom
Uses. , The Utica Herald; Congressman
Ellis Roberts's paper and Senator
Conkliug's home organ, says;
at looks as though the Republicans
of Connecticut were not inclined to ut
ter their sanction of all things done at
washington. It will not do
to trife with intelligent people when
they demand assurances that their par
tv has fulfilled its promises, been true
to its professions, is without spot or
faint of job. The protest of Connecti-
cut Republicans should not pass un-
Needed"
The Baltimore american, the Repub-
lican organ in Maryland, speaks thus;
1.-THE vigorous. blows struck at the
very yitals of the Republican party by
the course of affairs at Washington are
having their natural effect. . The
enthusiasm which has distinguished the
Republican organization is a thing OF
the past. . The great mass OF
| the people care very little who hold the
public Offices, but they do care whether
or no the offices are used to shape and
form and CONTROL the destinies of the
party"
Also the Wheeling fntelligencer, The
Republican organ in West Virginia
says:
at (the Connecticut ~election) shows
that the people r weary and impa
tent of the way things are being dom
at Washington, and that they ar
ready to manifest their dissatisfaction
at the ballot-box."
The Philadelphia Inquirer, one o
the ablest Republican journals il
Pennsylvania, says:
"The people have passed the tim
when a mere name could beguile them
they no longer yield obedience to +;
party cry. They e official malfeas
ance, extravaganza, and corruption a
around them; one gigantic politica
fraud after another is exposed; on
wrong after another unearthed; on
demagogue after another rising int
higher places of trust and honor, and
with no other way Of redress but at tn
polls, they seek it there"

THAT PANACEA.

A writer In the Banner under the
nom de plume Of Harmony" thinks
he has found a panacea for all the
confinement" things have got into in
Tennessee, which is no less than that
B. Z. Cheatham be elected Governor
and Andrew johnson be sent to the
United States Senate. This is a gene
raj throwing round of sop we have no
faith in. A few Of the leading friends
Of Cheatham and johnson may believe
they have power to d~isintegrate the
| party again; but the State has suffered
once from their colliding, and is likely
to look with little favor on aproposition
asking it to hand over two such high
offices to keep them from scratching
out each others eyes. We do not
think there is anyneed for such a prop
osition. There were plenty good Dem
ocrats who supported Andy johnson
in the last fight, who did so on per-
sonal considerations, that have had
enough outside Diminishing and Will
henceforth stick close to the ranks
when the time to charge arrives. This
is to be prominently a campaign OF
lprinciples, not of men, and we believe
the political leaders read the signs OF
the times clearly enough not to go
within a mile of making such a tumble
of it as they did in ~. Keep a single
eye to the object sought-the discom-
future Of the Radical party-and the
Democracy that does not fall in is not
worth having.-HartsUiUe Sentinel.
The people of Tennessee are not
likely to allow all our varied local, State
and Federal interests to hinge on the
promotion of any one or two men.
Those who build on such a supposition,
mistake the temper of the time. 1t In
wolves too much hero-worship for a free
people. We must look first to the ju-
dicious and economical management OF
affairs in the several counties. Then
we want a good Legislature as well as
Governor, and we want such a Legisla-
ture for many important purposes be-
sides electing a Federal Senator. The
above "slate" was no doubt fixed VI
without knowing or caring whether il
would meet the approval of either of the
distinguished parties. MI. johnson
and Mr.. Chatham both appreciate full
" that their names are often called IL
vain, and held forth as symbols of di
vision by Radicals and others who's
daily prayer is for 8 repetition of 1872

THE st. Louis and Chicago Journals
are displaying their wit at the expense
of those cities. The st. Louis Times
lets off the following:
"The Inter- Ocean intimates that ten
out of the thirty to the thousand per-
sons who die in Chicago go from St
Louis to that city with diseased ivers,
preferring to die respectfully in Chris.
tan city, We can conceive the posi-
bility of a man going from st. Louis tc
Chicago to die-he could have few re.
grets at quitting existence In such sur
roundings; but no n would go from
this to that to live"

A BILL has passed the Massachusetts,
Legislature providing for a separate
prison for women. This is the first step
in a reform ~thenecessity for which must
be seen to be understood. Many females
arrested for petty offences (such as as
sault) not involving moral degradation
are helped to ruin by their associations
in prison. 1t may be only the temporary
prison of apolice cell, but the influences
are the same. The scene witnessed at a
police station when afemale, respectable
or disreputable, is brought in, is revolt
ing to every feeling of decency. The
search by an officer, and the confinement
amid drunkards bowling slang and
profanity, must deprive the woman
of any ~self-respect which she may had;
and when self-respect is gone from men
or women they are lost. Women should
not only be in separate prisons, but
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS not be search
ed except by women.

REFERRING to the reported remark
of Grant that it was time for the Re-
publican party to unload, the Grand
Rapids MichJ Democrat pertinently
says: "But where shall the process of
unloading begin? Who shall unload,
and who shall be unloaded? Who or
what is to be thrown overheard? The
fostering %.sores' have broken out all
over the party. Rottenness is in Its
very bones. Leading men of the party
are implicated in all kinds of fraud"

THE Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial writes, April
II: Massachusetts, men here are
growing very much Disguised at the
failure-of their Legislature to elect a
successor to Sumner. They denounce
the stubborness that has characterized
the proceedings of that body so far, in
round terms" 1t was reported a few
DAYS Q that Grant was about to ten
der Dawes the position of Secretary of
the Treasury. with the view of settling
this contest, but Dawes says Grant has
not made the offer and that it would
not be accepted if it should be.

RUMORED CABINET CHANGES,


WASHINGTON, April l2.-Rumors of
Cabinet changes are becoming numer-
ous. 1t being generally understood OF
assumed that Judge Richardson is to
retire In a short time, all kinds Of
states are being made up only to be
broken as soon as some new asplrant
turns up, or some plausible reason for
the appointment of this or that indi-
vidual presents itself. While it is pos
itively asserted that Delano is to sue
ceed Richardson, there are some per-
sons who still cling to the belief if not
the hope that Dawes will be made Sec
rotary of the Treasury. Others think
that Drexel, of Philadelphia, or Pier
repont, of New York, may draw the
prize, but it is safe to say that the lat
ter is not and has not been seriously
thought of by the President in
connection with the matter. As
to Drexel it is even said that
the place has been rendered
to him, and that he is making arrange
ments to accept by freeing himself
from business connections, so as to
obviate objections similar to those
which prevented A. T. Stewart from
getting into Grants first Cabinet.
Assuming that Delano is to go into
the Treasury, the question that agitates
most of the Cabinet-makers here is re-
garding Delano's successor in the Inte-
rior Department. The statement has
been repeatedly made that the Presi-
dent desired, on personal grounds, to
make Gen. Bristow a member of his
Cabinet, but he felt that on geograph-
ical and sectional considerations New
England is entitled to recognition, and
it was therefore suggested that Gen.
Grant was undecided between these
two rather ~perplexing questions. If
he should go to the East for a Secre-
tary of the Interior, it is confidently
asserted that Representative Hale, of
Maine, will be his choice. Hale is the
foremost man, in the matter of influ-
ence, in the Maine delegation-nOt,
however, on account of transcendent
ability-and is the son-in-law of Sena-
tor Chandler.

THE Philadelphia Press, (COl. For
ney's paper turns the cold shoulder on
Grants third term aspirations in the
following cruel manner:

nation of the people to change the class
of men who have of late been foisting
themselves into positions of power and
honorable trust"

IT is stated that the Patrons of Hus-
bandry in Iowa have perfected an or
ga~nisation for the capture of horse
thieves. Each Grange is to have Give
riders" who are, on a robbery of stock
being reported, to mounts and follow
the culprits. To this end the Grange
is to furnish them with funds not less
in amount than S25, and on giving the
hailing sign of the Patron, all other
Oranges viii entertain them free of
cost, turn out to them, or lend them
fresh horses. Similar organisations IN
other States would render stealing
horses a very improbable business.

COMMENTING upon the recent pub
LEGATION of the hitherto suppressed
speech of Senator Sumner, the Chicago
Inter- Ocean says: He is caused to say

In June, 1872, a girl named Mary
Secor was outraged and murdered near
Crestline, Ohio, for which two men
named Mcleod and Kimmell were
hanged by a mob. A few weeks ago
there was published in a number of
Journals in Ohio and Indiana what pur-
ported to bea confession of one Thomas
Bradwell Douglass that he himself
committed the terribledeed. This con-
fession was said to have been made by
Douglass on his death-bedin a hospital
at Denver, Colorado, and to have been
dictated to a Catholic priest. Mr.. G.
E. Harrington, city editor of the Den.
ger Neacs, says under date of March %,
that no such mar as Douglass has died
there. and no such confession was made
to a Catholic priest in that city. This
pretended confession relieved the men,
ory of Mcleod and Kimmell for but a
short time.
