RoDERICK RANDOM BUTLER
The following paragraph, taken
from a recent letter to the Cincinnati
Commercial-a paper of decided Re-
publican proclivities-which was ev-
identity written:by a man of similar
sentiments, gives us very clear in
sight into ths condition of things in
the Gibralter district of the Radi-
cal party in this State. That "the
party of great moral ideas" in Ten
nessGe, is worthy of its record else
where is manifest. 1t is also clear
that our beloved Roderick is not far
behind his namesake from the Essex
district in Massachusetts. They
certainly como of the same stock
a jockey in selling span of horses,
can find nothing higher in the way
of eulogy than to say of them: "they
match like eggs, move like one hoss.'
1t is thus with Ben and our Rod
erick. They go all the Radical gaits
together without balk:
"Six years ago. when Butler ran
for Congress, the cry was raised
that he had been n rebel The
charge was proved abundanuy, but
it did no good. Two years after the
charge was made that he had collcc-
ted large amounts of pension mon
ey belonging to poor widows, and
kept the same. But he walked over
the track, the united opposition of
the pension women availing moth
ing. Again, two years after, the fact
that he had sold cadet appoint
ment was urged against him, but
he talked eloquently about it to the
mountain boys" and they re-elcct-
ed him."

NEW PAPER. -The initial number
of the Tennessee Transcript, publish
ed at Savannah, in the splendid old
county of Hardin; appeared few
DAVIS ago. 1t is edited by Capt. Thos.
81. Paine, of Lawrence county, assist
cd by VIM. L. Curry, of Corinth, Miss.
The former has represented Law
renee county in the State legislature,
and is well known as gentleman OF
ability and culture. The Transcript
makes a fair appearance, and we see
no reason why it should not in a lit
tie while become all influential and
widely circulated paper. In politics
the new paper is Democratic, and
thus clearly defines its status:
Gas regards the political parties as
they now stand before the country,
known as Republican and Democrat
ic, we unhesitatingly array ourselves
with the latter. We believe that the
tendency of the former is toward
Capitalization, consolidation and an
utter disregard 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 Amer
lean history-amOng whom none were
more earnest in opposition to this
measure than he whose ashes repose
quietly in the bosom of our own State,
the "hero of New Orleans, the Sage
of the Hermitage the immortal
Jackson, which we find ably set forth
in his farewell address at the close oil
his Presidential duties"

THE Springfield Record has been
overhauliDg its old clothes this
Spring, and brings out its "Independ-
emit" suit brushed up and darned to
meet such cxirgencies as the Connec-
ticut election. 1t is going to ferret out
fraud and corruption, whenever they
happen not to be within the Radical
camp, and to be very faithful 10 the
best interests of the people. The Uni
on and american gives the record a
little friendly advice, which will APP
ply in this locality as well as it does
elsewhere. Speaking of the Records
proposed work, it says;
CAS- to the mission that he limns
forth for Independent" journalism
it is either a work of supereroga-
ton, or the Record fails utterly to
attempt its accomplishment. 'Ferret
out fraud and corruption" The fraud
and corruption of Radicalism is the
Geographic news of the day, but the
Independent" Record fails to pub
lish a line of it, or to draw plain
lesson from it. "Warn the people OF
their best interests the Record
has no warning or advice ut this good
time when divisions among the peo-
pie threatened to hand them over to
the merc1es of revived Brownlowism.
The Democratic press was engaged IN
the business of ferreting out corrup-
ton and warning the people, long years
before the Independents" were ever
heard of, and the latter cannot posi-
bly, do better than join the Democrats
in completing the good work"

THE New York Tribune, with plain in
tent to deceive, and to injure the prospects
of Senator Chandler's reelection to the
Senate, recently printed the following
paragraph:
For our own part we had supposed that the
character and standing Of the Senators from
Maine, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania
concerned all citizens alike; that the political
principles by which they are governed and the
policies they advocate were matters of as much
importance to the citizens of New York or
Connecticut as to those Of the States they
represent. twas our belief that as the whole
nation was disgraced by the Credit Mobilier
transactions and the back pay scandal, so the
whole nation was interested in removing the
stain and purifying the National Legislature.
The truth is, that the Congregational
Record shows that Mr.. Chandler had moth
ing whatever TO do with either the Credit
Mobilier transaction or the back pay affair
which in any way reflected against his
personal integrity or reputation as Senator;
while the records Of the Treasury Depart
ment show that he, with his colleague,
Senator Ferry, were the first to "cover
their l'e * pay " into its vaults. No act or
vote Of his during the eighteen years of his
service can now be recalled to his discredit
or disadvantage. As a leader during the
war he stood first and foremost in support
of the Union in the Senate, and since then

THE LOUISIANA RETURNING
R0ARD

On the Cd of November a general cleo
ton was held in the State of Louisiana, and
the State returning officers charged with
the duty Of compiling and promulgating
the returns convened and organized nine
days after, on the 18th, and entered upon
the discharge of their duties. For the de-
lay in the PRONUNCIATION Of the result the
board in question has been severely cen
surcd, but a reference to the provisions of
the law creating the body and to the cir
Cumstances surrounding them will show
that the delay, so far from suggesting or
furthering fraud, was a necessity under the
law, and has been in the interest of fair
play and justice to both political parties.
The second section Of act ninety eight, of
1874, defines the duty of the board as fol-
lows: within ten days after the closing
"Of the election, said returning officers
"shal meet in New Orleans to canvass and
compile the statements of votes made by
"the commissioners Of election, and make
"returns of the election to the Secretary of
estate. They shall continue in session
"untl such returns have been compiled.
''The presiding officer shall at such meet
ling open, in the presence Of the said re-
turning officers, the statements of the
commissioners of election, and the said
returning officers shall, from said state
"ments, canvass and compile the returns
"of the election in duplicate; one copy Of
"such returns they shall file in the office of
''the Secretary of State and of one copy
they shall make public proclamation by
"printing in the official journal and such
"other newspapers as they may deem
"proper, declaring the names of all persons
"and officers voted for, the number of votes
''for each person, and the names of the
''persons who bave been duly and lawfully
collected.

O'Brien, of Alabama, are in this city as
committee appointed to solicit and receive
aid for the sufferers by the recent tornado
in that State. The complete accounts of
that sad catastrophe, recently received,
show that the results were more serious
than were at first anticipated, and that in
truth it was a calamity equaled only by the
great fires which swept over the agricultu.
raj region of Wisconsin two years ago.
The committee referred to will begin at
once to appeal to the generosity of our peo-
pie for relief for their afflicted friends, and
as they are iLdorsed by Ex-Governor Hous-
ton and other equally responsible citizens
of Alabama, we do not hesitate the predic-
ton that their efforts will be met with a
favorable response. For the present they
may be found at the National hotel.

Ex-Governor MCENERY has dispatch in
the New York Herald, addressed to "James
Gordon Bennett, esq.," informing him that
there is a revolution impending in Louisiana.
When the dispatch was received, Mr.. Bennett
was tossing on the blue Atlantic, five hundred
miles from home, with no more thought Of
McEnery and his revolution than Of his last
pigeon shooting match or yatch race. This is
