FTHE SENATORIAL SUCCESSION.
Nashville Correspondence OF the Louisville
COurier-JOurnal.


Courier-JOurnal.
Ex.President Andrew johnson has
swung around his accustomed circle
and proclaimed, as 1t were, from the
house-tops throughout Tennessee, that
he was a candidate for the United
States Senatorship; Col. John 81.
Savage has crossed his pathway over
the plains and the mountain heights,
and discussed his own peculiar hobbies
and fitness for that exalted position;
Gov. John G. Brown, though never
having openly avowed his intentions, Is
still regarded as working in that direc-
ton; Col. Gustavus A. Henry, the eagle
orator of Montgomery, has been cast
ing his eyes up to the pinnacle of honor
and fame, and dozen others would
accept the position if thrust upon
them.
But the most formidable candidate
who has recently announced himself is
the Hon. Edwin II. Ewing. Mr.. Ewing
is a man of the most unimpeaehable
record, and no person has higher nor
more deserved reputation for integrity
than he. Yet he has, perhaps, fewer
friends and admirers, inasmuch as he
has been a man of close study all his
life and has not gone out of his way to
cultivate what is commonly known as
the popular favor. While l do not
presume to advocate Mr.. Ewing's
claims, but repeat the sentiment of
every one who knows him over the
State, when 1 say that should be be
chosen as the successor of the live
dead-man of Knox, a more worthy, and
certainly not more able, representa-
tive could scarcely be selected. Should
he manage his cards discreetly, he will
stand the best chance of election of any
man know. His speech at Murfrees-
boro, before very large assemblage OF
people, was well received, and his own
advancement of himself as candidate
for the United States Senate was ap-
plauded. 1t is well taken here.

We presume that the coming Legis-
lature viii elect for the Senate OF the
United States some one of our leading
men who has been identified with the
interest of the people and the politics
of the country, and who is familiar
with the leading principles upon which
the Government has been administered.
We presume that ne VIII be neither q
broken-down party hack, retired fos-
sill, nor yet man who has never ac-
quired a knowledge OF public affairs,
| except in his study or in retiraey. He
! will be. at least, one who has been ac-
lively in the arena of politics. and who
still maintains the position of an active,
! practical statesman, alive upon all the

WHY WE DID Nor REDEEM THe
SECOND DISTRICT.

SECOND DISTRICT.
There Il no use crying over split |
milk. All the victories that were ever
spoiled, were spoiled By the after quar-
rels and chickering's of mutual friends.
Elsewhere we give place to what is
termed ''a mild but earnest protest
from the Democrats of KNOX,
against our passing editorial remark
that, with good management in the
Second District, Tennessee would have
sent solid Democratic delegation to
the Forty-fourth Congress. In excuse
for this remark we might cite the
words of our Knoxville special of Nov.
6, on which it was based-a telegram
sent US by prominent politician of
Knox county. His words were;
"Mabry would have been elected, if
the people had confidence IN his
chances" The simple truth. however,
is that our remark was not couched in
any spirit of criticism, but with view
to showing the sweeping extent of the
Democratic revolution, which, if fully
realized in time, would have carried the
Second District also, and placed Ten
nessee In the role of solid Democratic
States with the border tier of Delaware,
Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky
and Missouri. as well as Georgia, Ar
kansas and Texas. This only was our
motive, nothing more.
As matter of courtesy. We could
have wished that the protest" Of our
Knoxville friends had been addressed
to us. Our desire to do them justice
is best evinced by our republication
elsewhere, after this discourtesy,
of their protest in full. We
know nothing of the perfect
deluge of letters referred to. If any
one advised that a Democratic candi-
date should not be run in the Second
District, it certainly was not the
UNION AND AMERICAN. Our uniform
advice to all was to hold conventions,
select good nominees, and stick to
them. The Secretary of the State
Central Committee seems equally IN
/ the dark with ourselves, in regard to
the sources of the advice complained
of, and we are disposed to believe that
any suggestions from Nashville were
the mere reflex of representations
urgently pressed by our friends in that
district. We might cite the kindred
situation in the First District, where
many friends were likewise Respondent
and told us Mcfarland had no chance
Yet they rallied, did their best, and
won.
But where is the use Of crying ovel
split milk? The Democrats Of any
district ought to know their strength
and use it, independent OF suggestions
from outsiders, who cannot be so ia
miliar with the situation. The De
mocracy is not a centralized machine
and cannot become such if it would
rescue the country from the dangers q
centralism. In its party machinery
as well as its public policy, the germin
al idea is self-managemert, home rule
Each town, county OF district mus
work out its own salvation, SO far as il
it lies. We hope our friends everywhere
as well as in the Second District, vii
profit by the lesson.

THE FoRrY-FoUaTH CONGRESS.

THE FORTY-FOURTHC ONGRESS-
1t has been the fashion with some to
scold the Southern people as paying
100 much attention to politics, to the
injury of our national interests. A
curious proof to the contrary, is the
impression so generally INDUCED among
the people that, because the new Con-
,ress will date from March next, there
lore it will convene in March. 1t would
seem that many of our people have
been Flooding along for years, Ike so
many French or English peasants, pay
ing no attention to public affairs, so
that they do not understand the work
ings of their own Government. Such
has been the dangerously benumbing
influence of Radicalism upon our free
institutions. We suspect that the
same has been the case in the North,
and we regard the recent revolution IN
that section as an awakening
to Iong-pending dangers, rather than
change Of sentiment concerning the
principles on which the government
ought to be administered. The honest
masses have been always Democratic
at heart, but were misled since the wal
by misconceptions and lies.
Unless the President should call ar
extra session, the next Congress, though
dating from March, will not meet til
December, 1875. Radical magnates al
Washington, gauging the Democracy
by themselves, have limited that the
Democrats in the present House might
force an extra session by defeating
some important appropriation, thus
leaving Grant with no means to carry
on some given department of Gov
eminent after the expiration of the
fiscal year next June, and compelling
him 10 call an extra session by tina
date. Toward the end of the coming
short session, if some appropriation
bill should find its way to the table, s.
that it could not be taken up by les
than two-thirds, this brilliant schem
of Radical imaginings might be posi-
BILE. But appropriation bills are no
usually permitted, by the dominan
party, to get into such a snarl as tn
Civil Rights bill, on which Southern
Republicans played fast and loose
Besides, what would the Democrat.
rain? First, we would have to face tn
odium of the extra expense involved il
an extra session. Secondly, we coul'
gain absolutely nothing.
We do not wish to dampen publ
anticipations, but the new Democrat
House will not be able to do any NOR
than check the Radical Seuate and sug
gestimproved legislation. 1t viii not b
able to carry any measure, opposed b
the Senate, nor can it repeal any pas
legislation without the cooperation Q
that body. If the closing session Q
the Radical House, which meets mex
month, should enact the infamous Civ
Rights bill, the succeeding Democrat
House cannot repeal-!t. 1t must stan
on the statute book till after the Pres
Dental election, if the Radical Senat
so wills. There is no chance for a Dem
ocratic Senate before March, ISL
These features of the COngressiona
situation should be generally under
stood.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.
A Mild but Earnest Protest from the
Democrats Of Knox.

Democrats oh huOAs
To the Editor Of the Banner.
KNOXVILLE, Nov. 9, 1S74.-In the
UNION AND AMERICAN of Saturday,
November z, there appears a short edi-
torial which does great injustice to our
friends in this (Second) Congressional
District. The writer says: with any
thing like good management IN the
Second District, Tennessee would have
sent a solid delegation to the Forty
fourth Congress. There is much
truth in the old adage that ga man s
hindsiqht is better than his foresight" "
We concede that there was lack OF
good management" during the late
canvass, but insist that it is unjust In
the UNION AND AMERICAN to saddle
upon as the responsibility which be-
longs nearer home. While We IN the
Second District were going into the
canvass. for the whole ticket, from
Porter down, vigorously, determined
to win the fight, instead Of being fur
nished with campaign documents to
help us on In the good work, and a
God-speed of encouragement from our
friends, We were met by perfect detEge
of letters, kilograms and verbal mes
sages from Nashville from gentlemen
prominent in the State government,
and in the management of the late can
vass. These gentlemen protested We
henently against the running OF a
Democratic candidate in this district,
and insisted that Thornburgh and
Brownlow should be left to themselves
to work out the destruction Of the
Radical party. These communications
had more TO do In creating the idea OF
'no chance in the minds of many OF
orr friends than all other things COM
bined. Recognizing the fact that we
we've the better judges of what was ad'
visable, we continued the fight, which
resulted in reduction of the Radical
majority of 1872 in this district from
$500 TO about 500.
Knox county gave ThOrnburgb, IN
1872, a majority of !, 1886, in total vote
of 5,042.
In 1874, in a tota. vote Of 4,694, she
rolled up a majority of lS6 dgdiRsthim
a gain for US of 2, ISL
Perhaps, if those gentlemen, who, &
few weeks ago were so ready to advise
US, had occupied their time in working
up their own county, instead Of IN dis
couraging us, the Nashville papers
would not now have to chronicle fall
ing off in the vote of Davidson county
of $500 from the August election. W.
have done the best we could, and insls'
that 1t was all any man could do II
the face of strong opposition, which
amounted almost to orders from paEtI
headquarters.
We rejoice with our friends over the
good work which has been dom
throughout the State and Union, ant
we claim that the Conservatives Of thu
Second District richly deserve tn
plaudit of "aUeU done" KNOX.
