John B. Brownlow, son Of the late Par
SON. Brownlow, thinks the Republican party
made great mistake when West Virginia
was erected into State. He says 1t would
have been far better policy to have divided
Tennessee, as in that event there would have
been at least one reliably Republican State
In the South-the State Of East Tennessee.
He admits that the partisan motive which
brought about the partition of Virginia was a
good one, but It's operation was extremely
unfortunate, having given the Democrats
two additional Senators. It Is not altogether
certain that division OF Tennessee would not
accomplish similar result. However, 1t is
safe to say the experiment will not be tried
Just yet, even to oblige Col. Brownlow.

good Democrats must join In the chase. This
is what Mr.. Levy proposes by the suggestion
Of purging the party Of all it's unwholesome
elements. All bodies need this process Pc
riodieally. Doctors as we'll as patients must
be subjected to it. There must be no exclu-
siveness, no exemption, In the application OF
this remedy. Protesting anti-ringsters, as
well as suspected ringsters, must all take

A GENERAL PURGATION.

Mr.. L. G. Levy, last spring the President Of
club in the fifth ward, styling themselves
Anti-Ring Democrats, in which he declares
his willingness to unite with all other Demo-
Gratis In all legitimate efforts to purge the
party Of its bad elements, to reform its
morals and methods, and make its conclu-
sions just fair and honorable. This is a
laudable mission, worthy of an honest
and ardent Democrat And MI. Levy
proposes to discharge this duty within
the lines and under the organization OF the
party. He does not propose to begin this
duty by assuming, in advance OF any action
OF his party, that there exists a ring or COM
bnation OF individuals within the party who
are seeking to control its action by other
than legitimate Democratic means He has
the intelligence and honesty to perceive that
such an assumption, without any just or
proper grounds therefor, is confession of the
formation and existence Of such ring or
combination by the very parties who thus
create and imagine an enemy upon whom
they may display the valor Of Falstaff
against his mythical enemies in buckram.
These so-called Anti Ring men ought to re-
mind Mr.. Levy Of that humorous description
by Longstreet, in his Georgia Scenes, of the
rehearsal Of the juvenile aspirant for the hon
or of the first fight and victory, on the court
house green, at the next term Of court. The
ambitious youth, retiring into a small clear
ing in the woods, was overheard cursinA
swearing. rolling, hitting, kicking and goug-
ing the non-resistant earth-in exact imita-
ton of first-class, rough roll and tumble
fight. Never was there more abashed and
disguised youth than when the traveller,
drawn by these fearful cries of a savage fight,
intruded upon his rehearsal, and discovered
that he was all alone. The youthful aspirant
was the real bully, intent upon the glories of
| fist and skull rencontre, and his adversary
was shadow, while inoffensive mother
| Earth received all the damage of the
| conflict. He was rehearsing his next
| fight on the courthouse green. Our So
called Anti-Ringers are fatiguing and ed-
citing themselves by this sort OF rehearsal.
| They are practicing their art and developing
| their muscles upon dummy, as is the wont
of that fierce athlete. of the Radical stalwarts,
| Senator Conkling, in his study at Washing
| ton, who keeps sand bags and stuffed senate
| rial laymen to knock down, to the great ex-
altation Of his courage and confidence in his
| prowess.
| Alas! the Senator wasted his valor and
! vigor on these rehearsals. His battle did not
come up to the spirit OF his preparations
| when he confronted certain Mississippi
Senator who afforded him the opportunity OF
exempiifying the benefits OF his practice and
