WHAT THE ELECTION OF ANDREW
JOHNSON MEANS,

Andrew Johnson IN a speech III uaho
tin last September referred to his public
life since 1885 as his platform. He
made the issue boldly that his election
would be an Endorsement Of his public
life. Upon that issue he was elected by
forty.four members elected as Demo
Gratis and eight Republicans. In view
of that speech and of all his other
speeches since that time we may truly
say that his election, under the circum-
stances, means an Endorsement Of all
his acts as military Governor of Tea
nessee, including his imprisonment of
unofendirg ministers of the gospel and
his cruel treatment to helpless females,
together with his agrarian speeches on
Capitol Hill. 1t means an Endorsement
of his rejection of the Johnston.
Sherman treaty, which would have Sc
cured to the South her rights and would
have given peace to the whole country,
which treaty was made in accordance
with the views Of President Lincoln. 1t
al an Endorsement of bis refusal to
pardon General Lee and of bis desire to
have BIN tried and punished for treason
1t means an Endorsement Of his special
suspension Of the writ Of habeas corpus
in the case o. Mrs Surratt, which De
prived her Of tie right Of trial b.
Jury aud caused an innocent woman
to be hanged. 1t means an
Endorsement Of all his declarations
that treason must be made odious and
traitors must be punished" 1t means
an Endorsement Of the bill approved by
him fixing a tax If three cents a pound
on cotton by which the Southern people
were robbed of hundreds Of millions Of
dollars. II means an Endorsement of
the bill approved by him by which the
gold debt of the United States was in
creased niue hundred millions Of dollars
and the currency contracted to an alarm
ing extent. 1t means an Endorsement
Of his Issuance Of bonds to the Memphis
aud Little Rock Railroad Company in
violation of law. 1t means an indorse
ment of bis assertion in his Gallatin
speech that the doctrine Of State SOW
ereignty as announced 10 the Demo
cratic platform of 1871 and as contained
in the messages Of President Jackson,
was secession and rebellion in dis
guise." 1t means an Endorsement OF his
disorganizing course since 1871, Of all
his speeches denouncing conventions.
1t e an Endorsement Of his opposi-
ton to the present Constitution which
e~nfraachised the white people of Ten
nessee. 1t means an Endorsement
of his demnciation Of the Demo.
cratic party Of Tennessee as " the Gree.
ley Democracy, the rebel Democracy
1t means an Endorsement Of his doctrine
as announced in his Nashville speech.
that Legislative bodies we're corrupt
and could be bought" This is what
means the election Of Andrew Johnson
at which so many newspapers appear tC
rejoice. How can it promote harmony
in the Democratic party to reward with
the highest Office the chief ~disorganizer
Andrew johnson is not a member Of thu
Democratic party, and bis election by
Legislature protesting to be Democrat,
was simply an outrage, and does no.

nounced in favor of Sheriff Zimple.

How is 1t that Dallas is not asking any
thing in this way herselfi
A man named Pope, in Denison, was
rather too intimate with Mrs. Reber.
Mr.. II. expressed dissent, and Pope
shot him. It's a queer country where
man can't do as he pleases, pay at
tention, for instance, to another man,
wife, without the inpertinent inter
ference OF the husband. It's hard.
The Age makes up its opinion Of ui
from what other papers say. j,
charges that we are in favor Of making
the new Constitution test at the Gal
weston Convention. We are not, and
have so said dozen times. The
farthest we have ever went, was to Say
that the Galveston Convention would
discuss the Constitution, and proba-
bly, recommend it, but as to making II
atest, never. The Age ought to have
wisdom enough to avoid such terms as
"narrowness" and "bigotry.s'. =. :sRi sfii

Judge Camp, Judge Ferris, and
