YOUNG FRANK ADAMsoN, who was in
Washington yesterday, made the follow
ingremark, according TO an evening paper:
lam going TO shoot him tmeaning his
father the first time | see him" What
ever the relations between the young
man and his father may be, his utterance
OF that threat should insure his con6ne-
ment until he can give satisfactory cvi-
dence that he can be trusted not TO break
the peace, As general thing, those who
&c about saying they are going to
shoot don't shoot; but it is not
justice 20 the law-abding and peaceful
portion Of the community 10 allow any
one to go unpunished who will SO reck'
lessly talk of taking life. In the present
case the threat was probably the braVadc
of a halr-Aedged youth, who thinks that
on account Of the painful circumstances
which were briefly alluded to in IuE RE
PUBLICAN yesterday, he has suddenly be
come hero. But q liule wholesome dis
cipline would show him that he has ne
right TO threaten the life Of any one.

lBr TELEGRAPH TO The rRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-There is reason to hope
that within year. Tennessee will dissolve her con-
nection with the hitherto Solid South and wheel
into Inc with Virginia, if indeed she does not be-
come Republican State outright. A very intelli-
gent observer, member of the Legislature of one
of the Middle States who has recently spent several
months in Tennessee, says that the change in poiti-
cal sentiment and in the general demeanor of the
people toward Northerners. as compared with two
years ago, is remarkable This gentleman, whose as
sociatlons with members of the Tennessee Legisa-
ture, now in special session, and with prominent
men not in Office give him exceptional facilities for
learning the situation, describes it as follows:
The Republicans and the State Credit Democrats,
having secured the passage of an act to refund the
State debt, the Law-Tax Democrats caused to be
served upon the State Treasurer an injunction re-
straining him from issuing the bonds provided for
by the act. 1t their hope and intention to have
the trial of the matter before the State Courts post
poued until after the elections next fall, hoping that
it might be made an issue in the campaign, with re-
sultnG advantages for the law-taX Democrats or
repudiatOrs. BY the efforts OF the State credit men
and the Republicans. however the cases have been
advanced the docket, and are to be tried in Jan
uary. The aw-taX men cOncede that the injunc-
ton will be dissolved
number of State Credit Democrats in the Legis-
laturc openly avow their intention to vote to keep
the Republicans in power in the State, rather than
allow the rcpadators to get control and ruin or in
jure the credit Of the State The coalition seems to
be complete for all practical purposes Both fac
tons of the Democracy cOnccde the probability that
the State will hereafter be Republican, and each
faction bameg the other for this anticipated result
This state of affairs encourages the Republicans To
greater efforts.
one practical result of the coalition is seen IN the
work of the Legislature, which is now engaged IN
the TeappOrtionmrnt of the State under the last
census. The State Credit Democrats are voting In
such a way as 10 give the Republicans as many dis
trlcts rs possible. IL Is their purpose to help elect
Republicans to the Legislature where such thing
is possible and where il is not the Republicans Will
in return vote for a State Credit Democrat.
