WARRINGTON.

According to recent Washington dispatch
10 the Associated Press, the statement that
the Presidents views on the financial ques-
ton have been modified since last spring is
denied on the highest authority. Not emily
has the President not changed his opinion,
but he has freely and repeatedly expressed
TO all persons who have seen proper to
approach him on the subject the same views
contained in his veto message. Ii is equally
certain that the Secretary of the Treasury has
not expressed any views antagonistic to the
opinions Of the President, and his friends con-
fidently assert that his forthcoming report
will urge strongly upon Congress to return
TO specie at the earliest practicable period.

TIE entertainment Of the 60
New York Editors by the city of
Knoxville, was attended with the
inspection Of all the noted points
in the vicinity. OF course they
ran upon Fort Saunders, and there
the following scene occurred. We
VIII allow the CHRONICLE to tell it:
From the University they went to
Fort Saunders, the scene of one of
the bloouiest conflicts of the war. For
tunately Col. Golding, who is one of
the party, was present in the Fort at
the time Of the fight. and being called
upon, gave a graphic description of
that dark November morning when
so many b'ave men met death on
the CORY field. The story was well
told 10y Col. Golding, who was on the
inside, when w, A. Henderson, who
fought i'm the "last ditch" was called
upon and related i'm his inimitable
way how it appeared on the other side.
After telling his story, the two shook
hands, on the spot, literally "across
the bloody chasm" amid the widest
enthusiasm among all present.

Arlington to the followers Of the

Bates, or Brown. or Johnson, or
QuarleS in the Senate, Tennessee
would have cause for pride. The
election of Cooper over Andrew
Johnson was a blunder, a crime.
One is pigmy, the other a giant.
The mistake made in tie election Of
poor, little, contemplate Cooper
should be 4 lesson to the next Leg
islature. Let us send to the Senate
men of brain, nerve, and who will
maintain the historic ren0wn of the
proud old commonwealth. Cooper

representing the home of Jackson. is
proclamation equal TO that of the
owls which boot from deserted domes.
or foxes which defIe the graves OF
dead heroes, Ne propose to give
CoOpers record, word for word.
There is not perhaps, another man
in the South who ever held public
place who has made such a barren
and empty record. It's poverty
stricken character shows an utter
want Of ability, of ordinary con-,
prehenSi0n of business, Of common
intelligence AMI respectable industry.
Indeed, Cooper is small man elected
by party Intrigue. and for the future
if Tennessee would preserve her
historic greatness, she must not send
to the Senate representative as
stolid and as useless as a wooden
man.

nearly all the private property in the

have robbed and harried like so
many highwaymen, and have reduced
the State to a condition which must
shock every man who sees it or reads
about it. The very Governor of the
State is thief, The Legislature is
a gang OF thieves. Is this "Repub-
lican government" such as the Cons
stitution expressly guarantees to all
the States?
We venture to say that is not
that, on the contrary, it is a govern

every reason to be ashamed. Il
Now it is folly to suppose that the
Republican party, as an organization,

says:

United States Senate by the name of

pie have forgotten the name Of their
Senator. He has been so quiet in
the Senate that a great many of our
people didn't know he was alive.
Many people began to think that
Cooper's silence in the Senate arose
from his inability to get three ideas
in row on such topics as have been
discussed in Congress. But it seems
if Cooper has been silent, he has
been outstanding his resources for
one grand effort, and he comes for

L have few words to say.
The negro now has the equal pro-

he has equal political rights with the
whites. Besides this, in all the South
ern States, he has equal facilities for
education at public expense, though
he does NOT pay one-tenth of one per
cent. OH the dollar of the taxes which
are collected to support the schools.
No invidious distinctions are made
against him. Education in these
States is out Of the sphere of politics.
The negro is amply protected, and the
National Legislature should cease leg
islating on that educational question,
and creating turmoil and bad blood

being secured. For several years the
