THE CHATTANOOGA CONVEN,

The Republicans of the Southern States
seem determined to hold a convention in
Chattanooga this month If one may Judge
from the newspaper paragraphs afOat upon
the subject, and from the expressions of
individual sentiment, as it comes to us in
private letters and in other ways, the pur-
pose of the gathering is vague and indefinite
We are told by some that it is merely for
the purpose of considering the whole South
ern question, of comparing notes, and, as a
correspondent writes, Of " sending out to
''the country the information and state
'tments laid before the convention, stamped
with something of official authority"
This is all very well in its way. If the
convention shall content itself with this
simple programme it cannot do any harm,
and may do good.
But if it is to be held, it ought to be COM
posed of the very best men in the South.
We do not mean to cast any odium upon
those who have gone down to the South
with their lives in their hands, and who
have, in the face of social ostracism, political
hatred, and unreasonable and unreasoning
partisan malignity, been making as bitter a
fight for their very existence as they made
when standing shoulder to shoulder in the
ranks, but in view of the clamor of the
present time it would be desirable that in
the appointment of delegates to the conven-
ton native Republicans should, as far as
possible, be selected. 1t should contain as
few Federal Office holders as possible. 1t
will be closely watched, and still more
closely and severely criticised by the oppo-
sition. 1t will be charged that it is a mere
bread-and-butter brigade, whose statements
are entitled to no credit, and whose views
should meet with no consideration. The
opposition must as far as possible be dis
armed, and no opportunity given to either
belittle or deride it.
Again, the convention, if it should meet,
ought to cOnfine itself exclusively to South
ern matters and Southern questions The
political, social, industrial and other aspects
of Southern affairs ought to occupy its at
tentiOn exclusively; the political issues dis
posed of, what measures are likely to ben
eft the South, in the way of internal i'm
provements, for instance. immigration,
manufactures, &c A mere recital of the
dark and bloody deeds of the last seven or
eight years, a reCapitulation of the Outrages
of the Ku-KluX and the White Leaguers
alone. would only tend to defeat the objects
sought to be attained. The charge against

EX-PREsIDENT ANDREW JOHNSON, who
was so much in love with the Constitution
some years ago that he invoked death and
destruction upon any man who would touch
it, is now of the opinion that it would bear
slight amendment He wants the Presi-
dent elected directly by the people and for
one term. He would like to see United
States Senators elected in the same way,
instead of by the Legislatures. But this is
not ali. The Judges of the United States
Supreme Court ought in his opinion, to be
appointed not for life but for eighteen years,
dividing the members OF the Court into
classes, as in the Senate, the terms of one
class to end every sixteen years. The two
thirds rule in Congress and the veto power
also trouble him. When bill is vetoed,
instead of sending it back to Congress, he
would have it referred to the Supreme
Court for its decision, and if it decided it to
be unconstitutional that of course, would
be the end of it. All this thcorizing about
the Constitution is we'll enough; it does no
harm, and in time may do some good. But
in the opinion of most people the document
is well enough as it stands, at least for the
present

the Boston delegates to the Republican State
convention will support Mr.. Talbot for Gov

The New York Tribune thinks there is q lack

ings this fall. We suspect the lack of enthusiasm
is in the Tribune office.
A report to Boston from Maine alleges that ex-
Governor Perham's friends have proposed an ar
rIngement of the Senatorial question with the
Hamlin faction by taking Governor Dengley as a
compromise candidate.
Mr.. Rufus S. Frost, of Boston, will doubtless
receive the Republican nomination for Congress
in the Fourth Massachusetts district, now repre-
sented by the Hon. Samuel Hooper. Mr.. Frost
has been State Senator, and is at present a mem
Der of the executive council. .......
Mr. Richard @. Parsons is having q hard time
in his effort to be reelected to Congress from the
Twentieth Ohio district as a Republican. The
Cincinnati Gazette and the Cincinnati Times, both
Republican newspapers, are making war upon
him with increased vigor as the canvass proceeds,
charging him with corrupt practices as lobbyist
1t looks as though Mr.. Payne, his Democratic
competitor, would be elected.
Senator Sherman reports That the political
canvass in Ohio is advancing in way that is salts
factory to the Republicans and that their success
on the 18th instant is absolutely certain 1t is be-
lieyed that the Democrats will lose many votes
on account Of the financial imitation argument
urged by some OF the Democratic papers. The
Republicans, he thinks, will probably lose some
Congressional districts, but gain Others and will
have as strong Republican delegation in the
next Congress as there is in the present one.
The Republican committee of the Nineteenth
Ohio district has issued an address defending Gen
Garfield from the persistent and malicious per
sonal warfare" waged upon him, and predicting
his reelection by larger majority than will be
shown in any other district in the State. On the
same subject the Cleveland Herald remarks
"There is no fear Of his defeat, but his district
cannot bear that even aspersion should be thrown
upon him. And the great heart Of the RepubH
can party of his district beats as warmly toward
Garfield as ever it did, and we know the opposi-
ton to him utterly and palpabIy nisrepresents
the feeling Of that district"

Mr.. E. D. MANSFIELD. the veteran OBJ
server of the New York Times in the old
days of Henry T. Raymond, before it be-
came unnaturalized, differs from those who
are so fond of declaring that the mission of
the Republican party has come to an end.
He argues that the present condition of the
South renders it dangerous to the country
that the Democratic party should come into
power, and as long as Democratic success
is dangerous so long will the mission of Re
publicanism be unfulflled. The present
prospects Of the party he sums up as fol-
lows: CAS- to the general prospects of the
Republican party, we expect to have ten or
'twelve members Of Congress in the South
''under the reign of terror, blessed results
cot Democratic inspiration y two or three
Gin New York, and two or three in the
'0West. The general result will be deci-
''sive majority, and sufficiently large in
''both houses of Congress; the election of a
Republican President in 1876, and the
continuance Of the Republican party in

AMONG the charges manufactured by the
Opposition in South Carolina with which
to make capital against the supporters of
the regular Republican ticket is one that
g assessments on subordinate government
e officials for political purposes, - have been
made by the collector of the port of Charles
ton. This we know TO be made of whole
cloth" 1t is a sheer fabrication, and one
which is so plainly false that it hardly de-
serves attention. The Treasury Depart
ment is thoroughly satisfied with the admin
istration of the Office of collector of that
city, which would not be the fact if the
collector had allowed practice to obtain
with his employees which has not only re-
ceived the condemnation of the President,
but is also condemned by the leading pub
lie men and the entire press of the country.

THE best opinion that can be formed now
in regard to New York politics gives the
November victory to Governor Dix and the
Republican party. The Democracy, it
seems, is badly demoralized and broken.
Even the Tribune, which bears no love to
the party, and prints nothing calculated to
give it courage or comfort, declares that
Kings county, (Brooklyn,) a Democratic
stronghold, is certain to go against Tilden.
The majority of Governor Dix in 1872 was

MONDAY CONTAMINATION S, 1874.

We PRINT this morning on our first page
q special report of the sermon preached
yesterday by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in
Plymouth church. This is Mr.. Beecher's
first appearance in Plymouth church since
the great scandal was breathed upon him,
and his utterances will therefore possess
special interest for the public. The enthu-
siastic reception given Mr.. Beecher in
Brooklyn shows that, whatever others may
think, they have full faith in the innocence
of their nastOr.

GENERAL GARIBALDI, who gave Victor
Emanuel his throne, is, it seems, so poor that
the assistance of his friends and admirers Will
be not only timely but acceptable. There are
few men who have done more for their country
and indeed for the whole world than the Ital-
ian liberator, and thousands of persons every
where will be glad to give him in his old age
little of their abundance.

The BosToN Globe makes a good point in
reference to the transfer of the Treasury print
ing from this city to New York: " 1t is esti-
mated that about two hundred and sixty en-
ployees will have to be discharged in conse-
quence of the loss of this work. Most of them
are women, who have no other means of sup
port, and to discharge them at this season Of
the year will cause terrible amount of suffer-
ing. Many of them are orphans or widows of
deceased soldiers of the Union, and before
winter is over they will be made beggars by
the very Government to preserve which their
fathers and husbands laid down their lives"
When the Government machinery, purchased
at immense cost, has been sold for old iron,
and the whole bureau broken up and scattered,
the economical companies who are so eager to
do the work will be coming here demand
ing an increased compensation. That is the
usual way, and that is what is called govern
mental economy.

THE New York EUeaiNg Express heads po-
litical article from the Times of the same city
as foIIowsg"A hint from an enemy" This is
great mistake. The Times under its present
stupid management is not an enemy TO the
Democracy; it is a friend, and far more eff
fectiVe one than professedly Democratic sheets.
Perhaps it is so unintentiOnaly, but it is never
theless doing excellent work for the opposi-
ton. The new Republican paper in New York
will be issued this morning.

THE young men specially trained by Mr..
Greeley have been catching it all around on
account of the recent ridiculous Simmons blum
der. The New York Commercial Advertiser
thinks the "sappy young gentlemen have just
two ideas; one, anything to beat Grant, and
the other, anything to kill Butler" To beat
one and kill the other is about the hardest
thing any set Of young men in this or any
other country could possibly undertake.
