JOHNSON AND BATE.
a C0riiinI Interview Between
Chem a fGeA- the Great Contest.

Gen. Bate, accompanied by his first
and warm supporter, Senator Hodges,
called upon ex-President johnson yester-
day afternoon, shortly after dinner, and
extending his hand rendered his congrat-
ulations, and said: Il am frank to say,
sir, that | am sorry you beat me, but |
am equally sincere in expressing the
hope that it is best for the country" Mr.
Johnson acknowledged the compliment
and said: Il am, of course, proud Of the
victory; but | can truthfulIy say that if
had to be defeated | know of no man
in the State whom | would rather have
seen bear off the laurels, sir, than you.
| thank you tor the honor of this call.
The room was crowded at the time,
and the lofty and dignifed bearing of
both elected the warmeSt applause of all
present. 1t was a graceful and meaning
meeting OF two distinguished men and
recent competitors, and it is well that
Gen. Bate did so nobly. He is great in
defeat as he would have been in victory,
and his gallant and honorable bearing
during aud since the struggle, have given
him prestige that will be hard to over
come in I876.-BaHRer.

In the House last, Wednesday, Hon.

important preamble and resolution, which
were referred to the Committee on
Appropriations:

property, and for the prevention OF
frauds nm the iusugrectiOuary districts

Of large amount of captured and aban-
doucd property was covered into the
Treasury Of the United States, a large
proportion of which was seized by the
agents of the Treasury Department after
the 30th day of June, 1868, the total
amount received from these sources being
over $4,000, 000, and that which was
seized after the 5Oth day of June, 1865,
was, by the G.th section OF the act Of
May, l~72, directed to be paid by the

To the Editors the Herald and Nail:
At one, to-day, the General Assembly o
Tennessee elected andrew johnson L.
S. Senator and crushed to the earth the
Conservative Democratic party Of the
State 1t is useless to attempt to forecast
the result of this day s work. 1t is a
damaging blow to both State and Nation
al credit 1t is an evil omen for the
great struggle Of 1876 Tennessee is at
sea again. Even now the Radicals are
wild with JOY at the result OF what is known
as Democratic Legislature. In our
humble opinion a greater blunder was
never committed by any body of men
since the days Of Noah Be it so-these
hands are clean; and am fully determin-
ed that they remain So If the party
chose Mr.. johnson for their "Moses,"
can only regret it, and refuse such lead
er. | will have none Of him. abhor his
principles and cal never endure him. If
he is symbolized Democrat | beg to
change my name and address.

The conduct of Congress for the past
week is a shane and a disgrace upon the
great nation and people they represent.
The Republicans tried to reach the civil
rights bill out of the regular order of bust
ness, by suspending the rules. The Dem
ocrats on the other hand fought then
with diIatory motions. They have been
flibustering for a whole week instead OF
attending to the business of the public.
On Tuesday the Speaker so for forgot his
station and office as to indulge in regu'
lor tit-Gor-tat quarrel with member; and
so for forgot his duty and the usages OF
the House, as to impugn the motion Of
Mr. Cox, who desired to resign as a
member Of committee or rules. The
speaker then had some hot words with
Mr.. Randall

Saturday night, in a pork factory, near
the depot Early Sunday morning an
other fire broke out in the heart OF town;
and then late Sunday evening, anOth er one
broke out on the east side of the square.
The general impression, in fact the only
conclusion, is, that it was the work Of an In-
cendiary. Over 100000 worth Of proper

form useful service in clearing cut the
corruptions and usurpations which Grant
ism has brought upon the country. He
is not a wise man; he is not great man;
