TENNESsEE's SENATOR.

Senator Key, the Democratic successor
In the United States Senate to Andrew
johnson, is few years ahead OF his par
ty. In the debate in the Senate on the
resolutions introduced by Senator Morton
to investigate the Mississippi elections,
Senator Key made speech remarkable
In many respects, coming from an ac-
credited representative OF Southern senti.
mcnt and the Southern people. He de-
clared that the issues involved In the late
contest between the sections, have been
decided, for all time, against the Southern
people, who must abide by the decision
without question; the sword has settled
the question Of secession. has freed the
| slave their owners are entitled TO no
compensation tor them-debts incurred In
aid OF the rebellion are void-the
soldiers OF its armies, having fought
against the government, have no claim
and never can have, TOR pensions or other
pounties for such service. Mr.. Key spoke
OF Tie poverty Of the South, Of its tardy
progress under the new order of things .
Of its inability to resist tho authority
OF the government, and of its great need
OF the protection and the security which
the enforcement Of the law can give TO it.
He called attention to the fac,
that the judiciary OF III. stat,
Of Mississippi, State and Federal
are in the hands Of the party defeated ia
the election In that State, and asked
why, IL the laws had been so fagian,l,
broken, the judges sat idle. lie declared
bis fcarlessncss Of the proposed invcsti
cation so far as Its developments may b,
concegned, but said, IL the facts were a.
alleged, they ought TO be exposed and
punished. lie performed disagrceable
duty in voting for the resolution because
nc believed an investigation would be the
si'eediest way OF proving that its Origina-
tors anu supporters were mistaken In their
estimate OF the Southern people.
This speech Of Senator kew, the frat
he has made in the senate, has
aroused against him storm of
denunciaticn throughout the South. lie

Senator Key has placed himself on record

denouncing him, should congratulate
themselves that they are represented in

rmE wuNGCIPAL WAR IN CnlCAao.

A great local excitement exists IN the
city of ,Chicago-a local war Is raging.
The taxpayers, the solid. substantial, re.
spectacle citizens are arrayed against the
"bummers." the "scalawags." the "bal-
lO>boX suffers" the mob of ofllce-hold-
ers who uphold and support a corrupt
city government. At an election held IN
South Chicago, a few days ago. the bal
lot-box suffers carried the day.
ION the day Of election says the Chi.
cago Tribune, "there were q Republican
ticket and Democratic ticket; Mike
Evans was on the Democratic ticket for
Collector, and Fat O'Brien was running
in opposition to him. No other candi-
dates had been announced; no tickets
were circulated or seen anywhere with
other names on them; but, when the
result was declared, II was
found tina, the notorious Ed.
Phillips was elected assessor,
| the equally notorious Gleason was
| elected clerk, aud fellow named Ryan
supervisor. So ignorant were the citi-
'zens who had given the whole day TO
the election that Phillips was candidate,
they consented ut midnight that he
should be one of the two men who
should remain all night to guard the
'ballot-boxes against any tamperIng! II
was not known or suspected until the
the ballots from all the boxes of the
six wards had been thrown into COM
mon pile, and then opened, that either
Phillips or Gleason was candidate.
'The Moderator declared that each had
received nearly four thousand votes from
a people who were profoundly ignor-
ant that either ofthem was candidate" |
The result OF this election In South |

'pectable citizen that the municipal gov
,rninert Is run in the interest OF ring |

; regarded as the head and front of the
corruptions. The decent citi-
ems want him to get down and out, so
nat mayor. acceptable to and repre-
'nting the respectable element of the
ty, may be elected. Colvin shows a
isposition to hold on. and is backed
y q mob of placc.holders as
orrupt as himself. The like
hood that the frauds Of the South Town
lection may be repeated in the general
ity election. has moved the people of Chr
ago, as with one impulse, to take ex-
measures to secure an honest
Ity government and to restore
ne purity ot the ballot-box.
lass meetings have been held.
nd so great is the excitement, that
n the platform with the merchants. and
lie lawyers and the business men of the
ty, have been seated such men as Prof.

whom addressed the meetings in be-
alf OF a good, aud against the present

Tried fOr BiQanu.

Before Esquire Watson, Saturday af-
ternoon, James W. Carney, who lives
near lied Lion, was tried on charge
bigamy. From the evidence it appear
ed that in 1864 Carney was married to
Miss Jane Banks, of Brandywine HID,
with whom he lived for nine years. At
the expiration of this time Carney de-
cided TO remove to this city, and rented
house, but his wife refused to come
to town with him, and they separated.
In August last Carney married Miss
Elizsbeth Mcdaniel, of Red Lion HID,
who, however, had no knowledge of
the previous marriage. The fact was
discovered by her father, Joseph Nc
Daniel who had warrant issued for
Carney's arrest, but he fled from the
State and was not arrested until Satur-
day.
Both wives were present at the hear
ing, the first wife stated she was per.
fectly satisfied if the second wife and
her family were satisfied, ,as she did not
want to live with him.
Carney admitted the charge to be
true, and made no defence. By in
struction of the Attorney General he
was placed under $4,000 bail for his ap-
pearance at court to answer the charge.
Security was at once given, and the
prisoner released.
