WASHINGTON, November 2S.-The Ten
nessee Republicans, now in Washington,
speak with a good deal OF confidence Of
their ability to carry the State next year,
or at least will roll up larger straight Re.
publican vote than has ever yet been
brought out. They report the Democracy
split up and demoralized on the State debt
issue, while the Republicans are a unit in
favor Of paying the debt. About one-halt
OF the Democrats are supporting John
Savage for Governor and he represents the
extreme reputation elements Of the party.
A very large per cent Of the Democrats
will not vote for repudihtor under any
circumstances. On the other hand, the
Republicans are in better condition than
at any time for ten years. They are united
upon all questions. There is strong feel
ing In favor oi the nomination OF William
Rule, Of Knoxville, as Republican can
didate for Governor, upon debt paytnf
platform. Mr.. Rule Is the proprietor o
the only Republican daily south Of thI
Ohio, with one exception, Heis NATIVE
Tennesseean and stands well. ..

WASHINGTON, November 23.--It Is re-
garded here by good judges that among
the influences which were most potent In
restoring to the Republican party several
close Northern States were the follies Of
the extra session OF the Democratic Con-
gress, and the success Of resumption.
AS Secretary Sherman is justly regarded
as the father OF resumption, inasmuch as
he drew the law under which 1t was
brought about, and executed it as Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, your correspondent
asked him, In reference to It's effect on the
public mind, as between the two parties
which divide the country:
"Did you not think, Mr.. Secretary, that
the Republicans were greatly benefited BY
sustaining resumption, and the Democrats
injured by opposing it?"
81 do. This has been one OF the strong
est cards that the Republicans had at the
recent elections. As resumption had
proved to be complete success, our party
has the glory, while the Democrats are
put in the notifying attitude OF having
done all they could to overthrow resump.
tion, which has turned out to be one OF
the most popular measures ever. consum.
mated"
"You think there is no question OF the
permanenCy Of resumptionW
None whatever. Why, there is more
gold and silver in the Treasury now than
the day resumption went into effect. We
have all we want. The difficulty is now
10 keep down the accumulation TO q rea.
sonable figure. We have been sending
gold to public repositories, and paying It
out. freely Oh salaries and public obIiga-
tons. Resumption has been complete
success"
"Do you attribute the present prosper
GUS condition Of the country to resump-
tion?"
II think it was an important element In
the general result. Without solid mon
ey basis We could not have had the resto-
ration OF confidence necessary to restora:
ttou OF business"
"Do you think that the present prosper
tY will continue2"
81 see no reason why it should uot. In
looking over the country at our immense
resources, and considering the energetic,
hardy character OF our people, we can see
no reason 10 believe but what the United
States are on the eve OF series OF years
OF unexampled prosperity. We have had
. long and severe season OF depression, in
length and severity almost II not quite
unexampled in our history. There Is q
law OF compensation running through all
things. Taking everything into consider.
alton, 1t really seems TO me that we are 10
have long run oi prosperity"

Robeson's Views Of Third Term and
It's Purposes.

CAMDEN, ~, November GA letter
received recently by one Of George NJ
Robeson's friends in this city states thai
the ex.secretary Of the Navy will return
from his trip in ample time to assist in en-
gineering the third term boom for Grant
From another citizen OF this place, whost
relations with Robson are intimate,
learned that Robeson does not entertain
the slightest doubts OF Grants nomination
for President in 1880. This friend OF the
ex-Secretary said to me that Immediately
before the departure Of Robeson for El
rope the latter remarked that, during the
next term Of Grant as President, he would
take especial pains to secure the vindication
Of his friends who were so much asserted
during the greater part Of Grants last
term. In that conversation Mr.. Robson
said that II elected General Grant would
probably insist upon Senator Conkling be-
coming the Chief OF his Cabinet. The ex'
Secretary also said that Alphonso TAFT
would unquestionably be appointed At
torney. General, and that he (Robeson)
more with a view Of vindicating himself
than anything else, would accept the Sec
retaryship OF the Navy.

ts the explanation OF this boom. He took
charge OF the concern when 1t was losing

some business men lack, he turned the trade
in his favor, and now is shipping more, in

Grant and the NIeararunn Canal.

NEw YoRK, November ga dispatch

edges the receipt OF letter from the Ad.
miral in regard to the mission of Thomas
Defrance, representative of the Nicara.
guam government, who has come to this
country to aid In forming a company to
construct the Eicaraguan canal. General
Grant says he will be in Philadelphia on
the 18th Of December, where he would be
pleased to meet Defrance and exchange
views upon the object OF his visit here.
There is considerable speculation as to
whether Grant will Immediately accept
the task Of organizing the company. Itis
said that the salary proposed is $25, 900 q
year until the canal Is in working order,
when il is agreed 10 increase 1t to about
$50 900.
