Too Shallow.

It is amusing, to say the least of it, to
notice the new admiration of some of
the late independent" Tennessee pa
pers for Gen. Frank Cheatham. Two
years ago he was an old ignOramus and
belonged to an Odious military ring;
but to-day lac is a most proper person
10 be Governor of Tennessee, if-nOte
the word--iJ by harmOnizing on him
the great disorganizer can be made U.
S. Senator thereby. One wing of the
independents is trying to 'harmonize"
on Cheatham, while another, as may be
seen from an article headed Tennessee
Politics" In another column, is trying
to "harmOnize" on Maynard. What a
mnddlei The deduction to be drawn
is that the so-called Independents are
willing to harmOnize with anything OF
anybody TO make A. j. United States
Senator. The thing is too palpable, and
thin even 10 shallOwness. The people
can see through all such trickery, and
we now warn them not to be drawn in
TO any such nets. Make no compromise
that will weaken the claims of the man
who stands to-day pre-eminently the
choice of Tennessee for the Senatorship

the happy pair had simmered down and
on their journey sped. Chapter III. She

The Ldi0reRce Journal of last week
SAYS
i'If some assurance we're given us
that the road win be built through
LawreRceburg, more effort would be
made to build It. But our people do
not think themselves able TO build a
road by themselves, and must have as
surance that the efforts they make will
be assisted by those who should assist
them. And now to Pulaski we hand the
following message: Our people want a
railroad. They are looking for you and
your county people TO assist us in get
ting a road to your town. You will
profit by IL as we'll as we. Are you GO
Ing to come to time or not? If you are,
let us know, and as soon as you do, and
give positive evidence of the fact, we
will 60 to work and meet you. Now or
never"
SO far as the people of Pulaski are
concerned, they have been ready and
eager for long time to vote upon the
proposition to subscribe 100000 to the
road, but for some reason or other the
officials of the q. r. Co. have delayed
their application to the Board until last
Week, anu since us arrival hSIS IhCIe
has been no meeting of the Aldermen,
Next Saturday is the day for their reg
ulaF monthly meeting, when the pro-
position viii be laid before them in due
form for their action. II in their wis
dom they decide TO permit the people tC
vote upon the proposition, thirty or forty
days more viii decide the fate of the
Railroad, and we have no doubt thai
the subscription will be voted by large
majority.

Tbe COnnecticut Victory

The overwhelming victory gained by
the Democrats in Connecticut is only
another step forward in the political
revolution which has for months been
sweeping the country from one end TO
the other. And 1t is probably the long
est step that has yet been taken. Other
and larger States than Connecticut had
preceded her in casting off the shackles
Wherewith the Adventures and camp
followers Of a successful party had
bound them for spoliation and outrage.
But none of them have done il more
effectually, and no New England State
near so etiectually as has Connecticut.
The series of Democratic successes
which eliminated in Connecticut should
forever set at rest all question as to the
future party OF opposition. The De-
mocratic party is the only one that does
or can represent the wishes and the best
interests of all sections of the country
on all the important questions of the
day. Hard money, free trade, no mono
poly and local elt-govenment-by these
signs it has won principles, it will in
the future win greater successes and
bring in new era of prosperity for
North, East, South and West.

The South Caroline Frauds

There Ia now at Washington q delega-
ton of men from South Carolina charg-
ed with the duty of denying the char
ges made by the Taxpayers Conven-
ton. That convention sent its repre-
sentatives 10 Washington with series
of distinct and credible allegations a.
Rainst the management of the State
finances. The aid of Congress Is sought
in An attempt to reform the Govern
ment and save the State from utter
bankruptcy. The anti-taN-payers' de-
legation, IL we may so call them, say
that the others are Rebels; that they
spell negro with two g's, and that things
are not so bad as represented. The men
who thus seek to belittle the mission of
the Taxpayers delegation are led by
B. +. Whittemore, carpetbagger whs
was expelled from Congress for selling
q cadetship. If anything more were
needed to fix the character OF these men,
It may be added that the rank and file
of them belong or have belonged 10 the
State Government of South CarOlina--a
government which has been made up
Oh the worst thieves and plunderers that
ever INFESTED any community. Congress
may not De able to do much for South
OaEOAna but the appearance there of
such DAhu OF maraudcrs as those who
protest against reform is a piece of
brazen Impotence and unparalleled
etfr0ntery.

ARKANSAS.

The situation appears to be unchang-
ed in Little Rock, except that Col.
ROsE, United States eommandant, has
taken the telegraph Office away rom
Gov. BAXTER. The Governors dispatch
to the President, requesting that the
troops be ordered back to the arsenal,
would make it appear that Federal IN
reference prevents him from making
the attack on Brooks stronghold II
is asserted that the Administration Is
favorable to Brooks. In default OF
other information to the contrary, this
would indicate that BAXTER is the best
man of the two.-COUrleT Journal.
LATER.
On the 21st a collision occurred be-
tween the opposing forces Of Brooks
and Baxter, in which several were
wounded and one officer killed. The
men under arms now in Little ROch
number about 1900, and now thai
breach has been made we may lOol
for a rapid increase on both sides, and {
bloody collision, Notwithstanding thu
declared intention of Col. Rose, the U
S. Commandant, to avoid it. He is too
weak to keep back the excited and un
disciplined mob.
The mess In Arkansas, like that il
Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi, Geor

preceded it, is an OffshoOt of the inter
ference theory, by which common

humanity and decency' were set asid
in favor of an alien domination, a hud
die of adventures and a proseriptiv
party. There is practically no chOic
between Brooks and BAXTER, any NOR
i than there is between KELLOGG an
WARMOTH. The quarrel which divide
them was a quarrel among rOgues. Tn
only hope there is in it is that homes

CHATTANOOGA, April 2, 1S74.-A
strange 'key note" has been struck in
East Tennessee, and goes sounding
through the State. 1t is gravely pro-
posed to unite the johnson party and
the Republican party for fight against
the common enemy-the BOurbOns.
The basis ofthis union is to be this tick
ct. For Governor. Horace Maynard /;
for United States Senator, Andrew
Johnson. The alliance is to be only
temporary, and when these distinguish
ed men are put into there speotiYe posi-
tiOns, the partnership Is to be dissolved
by mutual consent, unless it should APP
pear best to keep it up as a permanent
Bourbon fighter. However, the main
thing is to get a Republican Governor,
upon the part of the johnson men.
II the Johnson men and Republicans
would come together there is not a
doubt of their power to sweep the State.
united they would be in the majority
fifteen or twenty thousand.
