The Hon. L. c. Houk, Republican member of Congress from Tennessee, takes a very hopeful view of the political situation in his State. He says that the Republicans expect to carry Tennessee this fall and will elect their candidate for Governor by decided majority, together with the Presidential electors. He reports that they are freer and more confident than for years before and de- termined to exercise their rights of suffrage. In the last Presidential election the Demo crats had majority in Tennessee of 43, 600 in a total vote of 222, 732, and MT. {, Houk's prediction seems wild one.
 We have repeatedly pointed out that owing to the nature of the contest in this State no chances can be taken. Much depends on the State ticket. The Hartford Post has these wise words to say concerning the matter ''The principal question will be upon the re- nomination of the present State officers, provided they are candidates. Since we have adopted the biennial system of election there is greater reason for rotation than before. The nominations two years ago were excep- tional in one respect-that the outlook did not encourage candidates, and some of the most available men would not permit their names to be used The gentlemen elected have afforded a most creditable administra. tion of public affairs in their respective de- partments. But the situation as to nomina- tions has greatly changed since the party met two years ago, and what was then only an experiment must be viewed with more ac- curate judgment now. Let us have in the convention next month the best expression of the Republicans of every section. And in order to get it there should be an allow ance for all debatable propositions without offense. We must go into the campaign strong and united" Only thus have we any chance to succeed.

Nothing angers the Republican party
so much as the praise bestowed on Cen
eral Hancock's Louisiana letter and his
admi nistratlon Of the Southwestern de-
partment. While they have ractically
ad mltted the failure of their plan of re-
construction, and while the Northern
masses have condemned the who le sys stem
they are in state OF frenzy at the seIec
ton of Democrat whose election will
be the final seal OF dsapproyal of the
entire plan of Thad Stevens, the sh ort-
sighted, narrow-minded legislative
tyrant, who led his party away from tbs
path of reconstruction indicated in the
terms of surrender accorded by Grant
and Lee and approved by such men as
General Hancock. While none of them
dare now to give the policy adopted
square approval they all feel compelled
10 stand oy IL TO certain extent because
TO say that 1t was failure is to admit
that the Republican party has been ex.
lsnng for no purpose for the past ten
years. Hence they all declare that. with
some Objectionable features, the system
of Stevens has really accomplished re-
| construction. whereas, In fact, recon-
struction has worked Itself out through
the people and to ths abandonment of
the policy adopted and to its tacIt, con-
domination even by the Republican party.
IL was never accomplished until they
had abandoned the system of Thad
Stevens, until the entire carpet bag re-
glme was swept from the South and all
its fatal power destroyed.

Farrell, Mr.. Dennis Gallagher, former
ly Bailiff of the City Council, Mr..
Thomas ]. Mellon, and Mr.. B. F.
Townsend, a member of the City
Council, who are urged ON perhaps
by some few others. The assumption
of Mr.. Farrell, is an unheard of usur-
patton, and calculated to lessen his
influence in the party in which he is
seeking nomination. for Levy. Court
Commissioner.
Mr.. Farrell's imperialism is some
what of a novelty. The high privates
in the party scarcely know what to
make of it. 1t has been the custom
for the City Executive Committee te
report to the Association through its
chairman. But here we would fine
Mr.. Farrell (would-be) chairman ol
the committee reporting to Mr.. Far
rell, Chairman of the Association. II
seems that the Democratic people are
little suspicious of such assumed
imperialism.

THE Democratic party of this city
has occupied an enviable position for
the past year. 1t has steadily insisted
upon being able to conduct the city
government for less rate of taxation
than its opponents-the singular part
of the matter being the position as
sumed and maintained by the Republi-
cans, viz {: that this could not be done,
and that the amount of money which
the Democrats asked our citizens to
contribute by taxation was entirely too
small. This was precisely the position
OF the two parties or their representa-
tives in the Council last July. Tie
Republicans declaring that the Demo-
Gratis had not asked high enough rate
of tax, and that they could not con-
duct the city government on $1.15 on
the 800, because the Republicans had
tried to do it on $1.20 on the 800 and
run hopelessly in debt. The Republi-
cans we're sustained in their position
by the Republican and Ecery Euentng,
while the Democrats were sustained
by the GAZETTE. But the facts at
the end of June last proved that the
Democrats had done all they proposed,
and that they were able to do better,
and actually further reduced the tax
rate to $1.10. This seems to be a
grievous disappointment to the Re-
publicans, and hence we find them
occupying the anomalous position
we stated at the outset of this article.
1t will, therefore, be seen that the
Republicans do not desire 10 conduct
the city government economically
They are in this consistent with the
course Of the National government un.
der their control. They see nothing
in politics as the Democrats manage
matters. But they find millions in it,
under their course of extravaganza.
The question, therefore, which -.
sents itself to our citizens for the next
city election is simply, shall we have
the tax rate at S1.10 with a prospect
OF lowering it next year to S1.00, ol
shall it be raised by the election of a
Republican Council to S1.20, which
they found insufficient to carry then
through the year, and left the city il
September, 1873 without a dollar il
the treasury, an overdraft in bank anC
$50, 900 of floating debts.

RussIA's short grain crop is once
more the promise of European mar.
ket for Americas surplus supply
Russia's average export will, it ii
thought, be cut down this year a
least fourth by imperial prohibition,
if not still more. This prohibition will
be likely to open the German markets
to American grain, as Germany's rye
crops are poor; and thus the ill wind
in that quarter will once more blow
good to American farmers.
