From West Tennessee.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: After a re-
cent visit of two weeks to Mont
gOmery and Dickson counties, will
submit a few items for the columns
of your very interesting and valua-
BILE paper in regard to the health
and crops of the western portion of
Tennessee, where / have been resi-
ding for the last twelve months.
The health of the people in this sec
ton has been exceedingly good for
the past year, with the exception of
some few cases of malignant cOnges-
ton, which have proven very fatal
to its victims. Crops are looking
fine and promising, especially those
that have been well cultivated.
Owing to a superabundance of rain
the cotton crops on low lands are
not looking so well; it is growing
too fast, consequently it will not
mature in the fall.
was glad to meet my friends and
acquaintance of Montgomery and
Dickson enjoying good health, and
as clever, kind and generous as ever;
also with fine crops of both corn and
tobacco. VALE.

THE following items taken from
the Nashville American, will be
read with much interest by our
readers
"The total amount of State taxes
for schools per annum is $3.50, 900.
The counties levy a tax aggregating
$3.50, 900, making the total amount
of taxes collected for school purpO-
ses 81, 100000"
" 1t is estimated that the surplus
of 100000 now in the Treasury
will pay the current expenses of the
State until January 1, 1878. To pay
the current expenses of next year
we will have the ten cent tax levied
this year on realty, aggregating
$500, 900, and 100000 collected on
privileges, making q total Of $780,
600, The AMOUNT required TO run
the State government is little over
5000, 200. 1t will thus be seen that
there will be a deficit of 5000, 900 in
the payment of expenses for the
year 1878.
The amount of State warrants now
outstanding is 1925, 600"

Republican Senators for a Fair
Count

Washington Special to the New Yolk SUM-
There will be no war. The wo-
man that hesitates is lost. The Re-
publican confederates hesitate
They will lose. The question is
arithmetical as well as Presidential.
If Mr.. Morton succeeds in whipping
into party traces every Republican
senator, Mr.. Hayes will be declared
President. If nine Republican sen
ators value conscience and country
higher than party, the will of the
people will be respected, and Mr..
Tilden will be peaceably Inaugural
ted. Nine Republican senators
that is the question. There are
twenty nine Democratic members in
the senate; the other forty six were
all elected either as Independents or
Republicans. If the Republican
confederates lose but nine members,
the Conservatives will have major
ity in the senate-a majority that
could Immediately displace Dir. Fer
ry; a majority against which the con
spiracy could never succeed. The
Presidential problem, therefore,
practically resolves itself into the
simple question whether these need
ed nine senators viii be forthcoming,
My answer, based upon close obser
walton, direct information and per
sonal comparison with members oil
the senate, is that these nine will be
found on the right side when they
are really needed.

MADE PLAIN.
The Military Element of the
Conspiracy to Seat Hayes.
Grants Alleged Bargain With
the Ohio Governor.

The military element # conspir-
acy to seat Mr.. Hayes is now made
plain. 1t comes from unquestioned
authority and explains now Grant
has been able to say that he person
ally would see that Hayes is lnau
gurated. 1t is part of the bargain
with Grant that he is to be made
SECRETARY of War in Haves's cabi-
net and to have charge of the mill
tary branch of Hayes government.
This arrangement is said to be per-
fectly satisfactory to Grant, and will
insure a continuance of the mill
tary power that he has had so long
as to be almost a necessity to him.
Grant will be in full authority until
the 4th of March, and will, of
course, be able up to that time to
hold the entire power of the Gov
eminent to AID the Hayes usurpa-
ton, and, when transferred to
Hayes Cabinet, will in point of fact
still be President of this country, as
Hayes will be but mere dummy
at best until the usurpation is ac-
complished. After that the claims
of Grant, Morton d Company will
be so great that Mr.. Hayes will not
be able to shake them off. What
his Adminis ration must of neces
sity be is as clear as if it were a.
ready at hand.

No Caucus.

We do not approve the action of
the Democrats in the Legis
lature in refusing or failing to
hold caucus. AS we said last
week there are many potent reasons
for it,while there are absolutely none
against it. Such has been the poll
cy of the party heretofore, and we
agree with The American that eek
perience has taught that it is the
only way to preserve party organi-
cation, party discipline, party mo-
rale and secure permanent party
success. If party is based upon
principle, then the importance ofits
success cannot be over-estimated.
To make its success complete those
selected by it to fill official position
should be in thorough accord with
it on public measures, and fully rec
ognize party obligations.
We have seen nothing to change
our opinion of the desirability of
caucuses by the Democratic mem
bers of the present Legislature. 1t
may be that the caucus system
would cause the selection of a diff
ferent person for election by the
Legislature than the Legislature
would elect without a caucus. But
office belongs to no man, and in a
Democratic caucus there would GER
tainly be twenty one less Republi-
cans than there are in the Legisla-
ture.
We are still convinced of and
maintain the ACCESSIBILITY of Dem
ocratic caucus.

Representative Spencer, of Louisiana.
stated the Louisiana case TO Mr.. Gar
field, in the House, the other day, and
not Republican has been able to re-
ply to that statement. Said Spencer:
"The election was conducted by the Re-
publican party. Every office, every con-
stable, almost eyery commissioner of
election was Republican. The Commits
siOners decided all challenges. They
received the votes. They kept custody
of the ballot boxes. Democrats were
not allowed to touch them, nor the re-
turns. The result was great majority
for the Democrats. But the Returning
Board makes II Republican majority by
throwing out ten thousand Democratic
votes! On what preteXt? Violence
and intimidation.' This is positively
forbidden by law, except when the cleo
ton Immissioners certify the violence
and Intimidation. Tie commissioners
did not SO certify. So lar was it from
the fact" says Mr.. Spencer, on that
day, when that election closed, there
had not been riot, not a tumut. not
even iisticuff at any election place
within the broad limits of the State"

Returning Board: | have learned hat

honor conferred, but at the same time

more than any Wember OF the party in

CONKLING.

Washington, Jan 4-Mr. Conkling
presented the petition of bankers, iner-
chants, and other business men OF New
York city in favor of amicable settle
ment OF the Presidential contest. In
presenting the petition, he said:
81 have been requested to present
petition, weighty by reason of the sub
ject TO which it relates and by reason
also of the number and character of
those who sign it. The petitioners are
citizens of New York, distinguished,
not only for their p. ominence as MEM
bers OF society, but for the large ana
varied interests they represent. They
are men prominent i'll each of the poll
teal parties OF the country. l ,serve
among the signatures names which at
the recent Presidential election were
found on opposing electoral tickets L
observe the names of eminent bankers,
merchants, manufacturers, shipowners,
scholars, professional, and other names,
long and honorably associated with
leading enterprises and industries. 1t
would be difficult to select in any State
of the Union $50 individuals and firms
who represent a greater sum OF prop
ertv, intelligence and character, or who,
as petitioners, deserve more conSidera-
ton. In laying this petition before the
Senate, it may not be amiss to add an
avowal of my sympathy with its appeal
for orderly, Lawful and patriotic action.
In executing the Constitution i'm any in
stance, and especially in an instance so
grave as the one referred to, partisan
feeling as guide and rule of action can
rightiully have no place. Obedience 10
law, observance of truth is not party
question, but proceedings beyond party
and above party. Parties may contend,
and believe it is wholesome in Tree
government that parties should contend
over measures and candidareS, but when
the contest has been submitted to the bal
lot-box, the final arbitrament Of popular
contpsts known in our system. the only
lawful proceeding connected with it
which remains, is to find the honest and
true result, to declare it, bow to it and
stand by it. That. is the duty of the
hour. 1t rests on the two houses of
Congress; it rests on the nation it rests
on every citizen OF the republic. That
it viii be done, and done peacefully, de-
Gently and in order, these petitioners do
not, | think, disbelieve They, in COM
mon with all men may derive conf
dence from the TACT that interest and
expediency, not less than, patriotism and
honor, point in one direction and teach
one lesson. Whoever stands on right
and truth will not tall. Whoever at
tempts to stand OH wrong and falsehood
will BIZ overthrow"

Gravity OF the Situation.

A Washington special to the Louisville
COurier-JourndL OF Monday says: ''There
is an increasing apprehension among
Democrats OF the gravity of the sitlla-
ton. The idea of compromise is now
regarded rs almost hopeless. The best
judges OF the situation believe that the
original purpose of the conspirators is
wholly unchanged, and that they mean
to accomplish their designs. The Re-
publican leaders seem to be firmly of the
belief that the Northern Democrats will
be afraid and the South unwilling to
hazard conflict. 4 prominent Re-
publican Congressman remarked the
other day that the Northern Democrats
never had fought, and he did not believe
they ever would"

The Situation at Washington

The following extract from pri
vate Washington letter gives the
situation there:
The political situation here is
very grave and critical. The Re
publican leaders will not hesitate to
plunge the country into war if they
can inaugurate their man in no
other way The Northern Demo
Gratis talk "plucky,' but very much
fear their coura will not be equal

convinced Of one thing, that Grant
will apply the sword to The Gordian
knot OF our political troubles, un
less a strong public sentiment at
the North, expressed through indig
ration meetings, check his mad ca
ceer in the meantime. The House
of Representatives will do its duty,
rest assured, but whether it will
haye power to avert the blows about
