THE SCENE At ANDY 'JOHNSONS
ELECTION.

A correspondent at Nashville describes wha
followed in that city when it was found that An
drew johnson had won the senatorship. He say:
A wild scene of enthusiasm was witnessed in the
Hall of Representatives day, when, on the sec
ond ballot it was found that Andrew johnson hao
received fifty-eight votes, forty-eight ory being
required to elect. While shouts and cries filled
the air, the crowd began to move out Of the hall
amid cries of "Where's Johnson! Speech from
Johnson" Bring him out!" &c. A rush was
then made for Johnson's hotel, and he at cnce ap-
peared on the balcony, but declined making q
speech until to night johnson had 80 votes in
convention, none Of whom, however, would leave
him; but the opposition could not unite upon any
one candidate, and hence his election was rem
dered almost certain. At midnight on Sunday
Gibson, the leader of the Republicans in the Leg
islature called on the Senator elect, on the part
of the Republicans, and informed him that they
would support him on certain conditions, and Sc
following statement from Mr.. johnson "If elect
ed will 20 to the United Senate as representa-
tive of an aute-bellum Democracy. | will advo-
cate no radical measure, but will endeavor to take
position on medium ground, as opposed to both
extremes. will not oppose Grants policy ex'
what owe that party" With this understanding
the Republicans voted for Mr.. johnson yesterday
There is now no doubt that if the ballot had beer
completed that was under way when the convcn
ton was forcibly adjourned by the withdrawal OF
the Senate at the request of Speaker Paine, il
would have settled the contest by election o.
johnson.
In view of the dsorderly scenes of yerterday, q
resolution was offered in the Senate this morning
calling ON the Mayor of the city for policemen tt
aid in keeping order. Also resolution adjourn
ing the convention oday, to reassemble at Tay
lorsvie, johnson County, next Monday, there te
finish the balloting. Long discussion was in
dulged in over the resolutions, and both were ii
nally tabled One Senator said that the appear
ance of brass buttons and blue coats in the CALLER
les would be the signal for bloody outbreak un
der the state OF telling then existing. There i:
great rejoicing in the city tonight among mechan
ics and laborers over the election of johnson.

The Eastport Sentinel calls the attention
of its readers to the fact that the Bourbon
democrats are the class which are coming
TO the front in the democratic party.
The Sentinel says: THE people begin
te realize the situation. Republicans who
were luke.warm few months since, have
renewed their vows, buckled on their ar
NOR, and are ready for the contest From
now until 1876 party lines, that have been
greatly relaxed, will be tightly drawn,
and as state after state in the north holds
its election it will wheel into line on the
republican side. On the democratic side
the Bourbon element has come to the
front. 1t has thrown off all DISCUSSES
Whoever the democratic candidate in 1876
may be- he will be the representative of
the Jefferson Davis element in the coun-
try"

POLITIC.lL.

The Washington Chronicle says there was
strong talk at one time of bringing JEFF Davis for
ward as compromise candidate in the Tennessee
contest.
The difference between the democrat and re-
publican so far as concerns the South, is that the
one when he speaks of the South and its wrongs
and its rights, the wrongs and the rights oi
The white people Of the South, while the other
never fails to remember the claims, and listens to
the story, Of the black as well as the white citizens
Of the Southern States. This fact is worth re-
memDering by republicans who are tempted, by
dissatisfaction with particular measures Of the ad-
tess -Neie York Times.

SENATOR CHANDLER.

! The defeat of Senator Chandler of Mich
igan calls out a large number of tributes
from unexpected quarters 10 the genuine
worth of Mr.. Chandler as senator and
man. One of the worst abused public
men in the country, he is, after all, en-
titled to large share of gratitude from
his countrymen for the value of his SER
vices in the Senate. Rough and hasty in
speech. his heart is large and warm, his
head sound, and his acts in the Senate
have always been guided by true devotion
to the best interests Of the nation. The
independent press have done all they
could to defeat Mr.. Chandler. 1t is with
some surprise therefore that we find in an
editorial in fhe Springfield Republican,
one of the most independent of the inde-
pendent press, the following just and ap-
preciative remarks upon Mr.. Chandler,
called out by his defeat:
In its more purely personal aspects, it will in
spire 3 widespread sympathy, shading, in many
cases, into genuine regret. With all his faults OF
temperament Auu tfAluiuk, WI. SuAusI uaS ueeli,
the past twenty years, a figure and force in our
politics; there are dozens of more polished and
presentable gentlemen who will not be half so
much missed when their turn comes to disappear.
This, because he brought to public life certain pos
tive qualities and robust virtues which these gem
tlemen lack. Hardly any man in the Northwest
did more for the republican party in its formation
days than Zachariah Chandler. He believed
in it with all his heart and labored for it with all
his strength. According to his lights, he has
been as sincere patriot as republican During
the war, he was, in his way and place, pillar OF
strength-always sanguine OF the result, always
for pushing things, always impatient of red-tape,
of fuss-and- feathers, of temporizing and shilly
shallying. Mr. Stanton had no more vigorous
seconder and ally in Congress than the sturdy
senator from Michigan. This quality of sincerity
always covers multitude Of sins. With it has
gone, in this case, an undoubted personal integri.
". Whoever may have been bought up during
this decade of growing corruption, Zachariah
Chandler has not been.
No statesman, certainly; not even a model poll
tician. He learned his politics in an old and bad
| school. He belonged to simpler, ruder and less
squeamish era. lie retained its creed, its preju-
dices, its habits, its language. He had done his
appointed work, and it was high time that he
should be retired from stage where he had
ceased to be useful. But there are very few, il
any, Of his associates who have not had soft spot
in their hearts for "old Zack," and who will not
be sincerely sorry to lose him.

Senator Pease of Mississippi made a
speech in the Senate the other day which
was full of facts concerning the South.
He says there is no such thing in the South
as justice between man and man, and no
redress can be obtained in the courts. a
jury cannot be obtained to convict white
criminals, and in nine out of ten cases it
is impossible to get Grand Jury to in
dict white men for outraging and murder
ing negroes. Mr.. Pease presented the
statistics of crime collected in the several
States, and contrasted the extent of crime
South with that North, showing large
preponderancc in the former. OF the
murders reported in the South during the
past seven years very large majority
of the victims were republicans, a
fact which tells its own story.
During the past year there were ninety
nine murders in Mississippi, and yet that
was the most orderly Of all the Southern
States. In Kentucky, where they have
never been troubled with carpet-baggers
or negro rule. we are told by Democratic
newspapers that no one can be convicted
of murder but negroes and paupers. and
that the prevalence of crime in that State
is huge blot upon Southern civilization.
Mr.. Pease quoted statistics to show the
prevalence of crime in Texas, Alabama,
and Tennessee, in which States the white
Democrats are in full control. He next
referred to Georgia, and charged that
there was no peace nor safety for the
black man in that State.

Saturday Night

Saturday night and the labor, care and
perplexity of the week are over The ring
Of the anvil, the strong blows of the wood
mans ak, the busy whir of machinery, the
din of life's labor, is hushed, and in the twi-
light hour, with feeling of relief that our
weeks labor is done, we welcome this hour
of rest aud physical repose. No plan for
the morrow disturbs the mind, and even ma
ture seems impressed with the peace and
quietude Of the hour. The river flows with
q subdued murmur, the wind signs softly mid
the green leafy boughs, and the birds trill
their sweetest melodies to cheer the loved
ones, that have faithfully and well performed
the duties of their various avocatons, and
now, guided by the pure beacon light, home
are returning to add one more pleasure, and
to enjoy by the home 6resde this sweet hour
OF rest and preparation for the more hal
lowed one of the morrow.
What pleasurable expectancy as we
await their coming And, as the we'll
known footstep is heard, what thrill of JOY
permeates our being, and how gladly We
hasten to greet them with kind words and
the warm hand-clasp, or to place on cheek
UT DIOH tuC bSai Va bhSSNiob' AhSh' a. We
join the family circle, our glad anticipations
realized, we can but feel that Saturday night
has a rest, joy and peace, peculiarly its
own, and that no other nights possess. And
as we muse the thought comes-ft emblem
of the last hours OF the weary SOUL
They have finished life's labor The tur.
moil and strife of the world has receded
from their view, and all is peace aud quiet
And as we prepare for the rest Of the Sab
bath so they prepare for the peace and JOY
of the Sabbath without end, in the bright
and glorious hereafter. They, too, await the
meeting of dear ones gone before, and as the
pearly gates unclose and they meet them OF
the "golden STAIR" the greeting is no les,
tender, but hundred fold more joyous thar
the earthly greetings of Saturday night
Sweet time of rest Best hour of repose
We love thee, not only for the peace an,
Joy you bring, but as an emblem Of the las
hours Of life. And, as the peace and res
of the Sabbath exceeds that of Saturday
night, so may the rest, the joy aud peac
of the weary soul on the other shore excee
that of the peace of the dying hour.
