The Legislature of Tennessee will

States Senate in January. We do not

State has quite a number of men wor

we might name our own di'tinguithed

Col. James K. Biiley, Oen. W. B. Kate,
Hon. D. M. McKey, Hon. John M.

will pardon us, we would moBt earnestly
advocate Gov. Houston's election. He is
a representative man, and the nation
needs his services, being thoroughly con
versant with its affairs, having been in
Congress for 16years, 8 years of that time
he was Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, the most important in the
House.
Grant rnnkeH a fine displ iy of desire

Several weeks ago, we published an
a'de 1-tter on the subject of fish-culture
in Tennis-. giving an account of the
fleets of the fish law in Virginia, from
the pen of Col. G. F. Akers, a noted ara
ateur angler of Nashville. He suggests
that our next Legislature be importuned
to do something for the depleted streams
of our seine and trapridden rivers. We
eecond the motion. A small outlay on
the part of the State would do more for
the people than the snme amount expend-,
ed in any other direction. Let Commis
sioners, without salary, be appointed, and
$5,(100 per annum provided to defray ex
penses of transporting fish spawn from
the U: S. hatchiog houses to Tennessee
rivers. We have before us the report of
the Fish Commissioners of Virginia, who
give an exceedingly interesting account
oi the utter destruc:on of all game fish
in Virginia rivers by seins,nets, and traps,
i:n J the marvelous re-production by the
iisc of hatching houses, and the passage
of stringent protective laws, prohibiting
the wanton destruction of fish. It is time
our state was awaken;'ig to this impor
tant subject. Further neglect on the part
d our Legialators will be criminal derelic
u. .!i of duty. Let us have laws protect-n:-r

Lx-Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, was one of
the distinguished men selected by A. S.
ll- witt, (Jhsirman of the Democratic Na
ti'Miiii Executive Committee, to go to New
-b-aus to see that an honest count of the
v .ie is had. Gen. Palmer passed through
here in 1862 with a Division of Federal
troops. On his way to Louisiana he was
iiiten cwed by a reporter and made the
Joliowing remark, which shows that he is
a statesman at'd philosopher: "If Grant
were i. statesman, he ought to be ira
peached und deposed from his place lor
i.s-uir - those orders; but as it is Grant,
nobody expresses much surprise. Grant
has one leading idet of government,
and that is, that he and the army are the
only power in this country, and that they
arc an entire sufficiency. He does not know
or care for the constitutional limit. To
!! brief, he is not responsible.''' Gen.
P.tlnu-r in a speech at Louisville, said th
S mih could Bland b.lious fever, or yel
low fever, it God sa.-e them from the itch;
ri other words, the South could survive the
war and stand it heroically, but human
niiture could not stand the carpet-bagger
which the war had left us. This is the ut-
(lance of one who clearly understands
the situation.
1 he most startling and momentous news
t-iils to arrest ourspucial attention vhen
t"i'l in the midst of the bnttle's roar or
'Uii-ilrng ipially intensely absorbing.
'i !.is hci oiu I 'irthe almost indifference
v.i !i which Grant's recent actions have
In n received. He ordered troops to Florida
nnd South Carolina last week for the sole
purpose of controlling the election there.
The constitution specifics the manner in
which troops may be sent to a State, but
Grant paid no attention whatever to it.
Neither the Governor nor the Legislature
scorns to have sent for the troops, but
G lint saw that the Radicals needed the
lroi.ps there to protect them in throwing
di' t enough Democratic votes to give the
Slates to Hayes. He does it in the name
of peace nnd justice, which reminds us
It no: lily of the memorable words of Sfad
ii'n Roland, that pure and noble woman,
as the was beheaded during the bloody
I'rt ru h Revolution, r.t the foot of the
Si tiiic of the Goddess of Liberty, "Oh,
l.:l ' rt! what crimes are. committed in
i'.y runic!" Grant has committed great
r,r.:es in the name of peace anil justice
l.o ):ns violnted the lett-r of the Constitu
ent!, trampled on the rights of States, and
l. pt the people of the Southern States
!( ie:,t !i the heel of carpet-bag tyrants at
tin-point of the bayonet. Well might the
siricUen South, in the bands of the exe
cutioner, exclaim beneath the white flag
ol ,ace, ''Oh Peace! what crimes are
cominiitpd in thy name!"
The Political Situation.
To give our readers an intelligent and
u uo titateuient ot tbe present political
Mimtiou is more than we can do. That
Ti n and Hendricks have been elect--d
l.iirly and pquarely President and
Vice-President, is a (act beyond doubt.
Tli tt tbry legally have a majority in the
c lectoral college, and were elected by
an overwhelming majority of tbe popu
lar vote n the 7ih inst., i also true,
luit whether they will be declared so is
more tbmi wo can tell. If they are not
duly inaugurated on the Oth of March
licit, tLo decline and fall of tbe repubo
lie may be dated. If two negroes, one
a bawdy house keeper, and the other a
pmibler and keeper of a low groggery,
can deleat tho will of the people of Lous
i.-n-tna, then wo cannot reasonably hope
I hut the bhackles of tyranny and ops
j-re-yion acd corruption can ever bo
cbdken oil". The Republican party dis
covered that they w ere defeated: that a
long down-trodden and oppressed peo
plo, who had been driveu to want and
ooggary by their extravagance, had ris
en in the power of their might and qui-
and peaceably, in a way prepared

the Constitution; repudiate them at the
i
pells, by castine their votes for Tilden
and Hendricks. They realized that me
reins of the government had been taken
from their hands, and that they must
retire into that obscurity from whence
a force of circumstances had elevated
them. This startling fact aroused them,
and they have resorted to means to ses
cure their T,!,i,taa oinrtlon. which
is not only a disgrace to them, but
which ought to damn them forever.
They discovered that Mr. Tilden bad
184 votes in the electoral college, which
they could not gainsay. And they
knew furthermore that South Carolina,
l ionda and Louisiana bad also vow
for him, any one of which would elect
aim. Chandler, the most infamous

dent, that we can promise ourselves
nothing but the moat corrupt andtyrans
nical administration that has ever been.
Let the South be patient and self-
contained, however. If those states-
men from the North now in New Or-
loans, Florida and South Carolina, go
back home firmly convinced that Til
den has certainly carried the three ton
tested States, the people will at the tirst
opportunity destroy the Republican
party beyond the power of resurrection.
The Kext Legislature.
The Legislature of Tennessee, which is
largely Democratic, will have an immense
amount of difficult and delicate work to
do, The financial question is, of course,
the most prominent one of these, and it will
require all the wisdom and prudence of
our leaders to be just to both the people
and the State's creditors. The ten per
cent law will be repealed without any
trouble. The dog law will be repealed or
modified. Many other subjects will come
up for discussion, and there is danger that
a raw body will consume the seventy-five
days allotted for each session in fruitless
talk. The chief way in which this can be
prevented is to have an able Speaker. An
able.bright Speaker will facilitate th busi
ness ef the House; and a dull, slow ont
will delay business and kill time. An able
Speaker, or presiding officer,ia rarer than
a gifted orator, a great poet or a renown-
i general. Like a great Generate must
be born with certain mental powers and
gifts, the lack of which no sort of educa
tion will supply. He must have the pow
er to command men, and that even rarer
quality, the capacity to grasp the situation
at a glance to weigh a dozen points in a
moment and arrive at a correct conclu
sion with v uerring precision as quick s
thought itself. Mere knowledge of the
rules that govern a deliberative assembly
will not make a man a good presiding offi
cer; he may have perfect knowledge of
the rules, born of experience and
study, and yet be a poor, plodding, and
even an inaccurate Speaker. An able
Speaker must have quickness of courage
and fiction aye, quickness of apprehen
sion is not more essential. It follows,
therefore, that it is not necessary that the
Speaker of the next General Assembly of
Tennessee be an old member. The only
reason why an old member is better qual
ified, is because it is thought his esperi
ence makes him so. If he has that pows
cr, it is a matter of no consequence what
ever whether he is a new or an old mem
ber. We are not acquainted with all the
gentlemen composing the Lower House
of tbo General Assembly of Tennessee
but in looking over the list, we see in the
Representative from Giles, Mr. E. T.
Taliaferro, a combination of qualities
which eminently fit him for this high and
responsible position, and it is rot
reasonable to suppose that there will
be a man in that body who will be his
equal in all the rare qualities that go to
make up an able, bright presiding oflicf r.
We have seen him preside twice, and al
though we have attended Conventions for
ten years we have neTer yet seen his su
perior. He simply Las no superior in tl:
Stale. Mr. Taliaferro is specially gifted
as a presiding officer. He never makes a
mistake nor hesitates a morneDt. With
little experience, he would be a match fo:
the great Jim Blaine himself, lie has
commanding stature, a strong, sonorou
and well controlled voice, which arrests at
once the attention of the crowd. He says
what he has to say in as few words as poss
sible, nnd has that rare and admirable
quality in a Speaker of giving such a lu
ruinous explanation of a difficult propo
sition in a few words that nil his hearers
have a vivid and correct comprehension
ot it. ilr. iahaterro was permanent
Chairman of the recent Convention at Law
renceburg, which nominated a candidate
for Congress, and during nearly one hun
dred ballotings, he kept the Convention
under splendid discipline, and in good
humor; with an impartiality that was mi
raculous, and an ability that arrested the
attention of tvery member of the assem
bly. His praise was, and is, in the mouth
of every person that attended the Law-
renceburg Convention
If the Legislature wants a Speaker who
will preside over them with splendid abili
ty and great impartiality, let them elect
.Mr. lahaferro. ile is a born Dresidir"
officer. We write this article in behalf of
the people, whose interest demands that
the Speaker be one that will dispatch bu
siness rapidly yet correctly. A slow
Speaker will prolong the session beyond
that which is necessary, and every day
thus 'onsumed takes nearly a thousand
dollars out of the pockets of the people.
Elect Taliaferro, because it is to the in
terest of the people, the Legislature and
the public the people because he wilj
make a short session; the Legislature, be
cause he will coutrol it without a ruffle;
the pubhq, because it is a real rapturous
pleasure to see a man control a body of
nieu who was born to-do it.
Bin;e writing the above, we learn that
our own able and gifted Representative
elect, J. Lee Bnllock, has been importun
ed by gentlemen of different portions of
the State, to run for the Speakership.
Mr. Bullock has the ability to do almost
anything that requires brains and cour
age, and would make a good Speaker, but
he declines positively to appear among
the list cf candidates.

Whv does the nresident deal in plati
tudes on the present oecasion, when di

to speak of the "desires" of either of the

izes the fact that public sentiment will no

There are certain facts which must be

This translation of the cipher message
may not be litteral correct, but that it is
substantially 1 am very positive. At was
communicated to a gentleman b
tlip nttaehos of the Executive
with n an hour after it was received, and
reported to your correspondent Simul
taneous !y with the cipher dispatch to
the president, telegrams in cipher were
also sent to United States marshals, and
to Gov. Kellotrir, in Louisiana, as well as
tnthe chairman ot the Republican Com
mitlee in Florida. An examannation of
the records of the Western Union tele
trvanh otiicc in New York will establish
the truth cf this statement. Now, up to
Thnrsrlav afternoon there had been no
telegrams from the Radical leaders about
nt-tso.f violence in any of the Southern
States. On the contrary he was assured up
to that time by uncontradicted dispaten
N ttmt there had not been a single dis-
tnrhanfp throughout the entire South on
lav. Bat immediately follow
uvj, Chandler's cipher communications to
t'.e president and Radical tools in Louis
iana and Florida, came teh-erani3 from
United States Marshal Pitkin, Gov. Kel
loguand Dumon, chairmen of the Rdi
c;d Committee ot Louisiana, to ihe effect
ilrnt ballot-boxes had been destroyed in
several parishes and various other out
rKires perpetrated by the Democrats.
On Thursday morning the Western
Union Telegraph Company informed the
country that their wires had been disabled
in Florida by a severe storm, which had
alio injured the railroad along which
their wires ran. This was not an unusual
event. Telegraph wires are often injured
by storms; but tbe next dsy came a tel
egram from Radicals in Florida, assert
ing that the teleeraph wires and a rail
road train hnd boen Kukluxed, and that
the nHect was to assist in the perpetra
tion of Democratic frauds. Of course
t'nis was so f-il!y that no inteligent man
w.-is deceived'hy it; but to any one ac
quainted with the politics of Florida it
must have been supremely ridiculous.
The counties along the only railroad in
that State are the Radical strongholds,
and the returns from them had been re
ceived before the accident to the tele
graph wires. There was no way in which
any frauds could have been perpetrated
in the count ies along the line of the rail
road by Democrats; hence there could
be no object in cuttiDg off communica
tion with that section of the State.
Rut- another significant circumstance
remaius to be related. Gov. Stearns, of
Florida, has heretofore had relations of
an intimate character with one or two
persons in this city whope affiliations ore
Democratic. To one of these persons
Stearns telegraphed on private business
last Wednesday evening. Tithin an
hour after this di?patch was received by
the Democrat he was told by Gen. Labs
cock the substance of it. The fact that
Stearns was in communication with a
Democrat in Washineton was instantly
telegraphed to Chandler in cipher, an
Inst niaht Babcock and Belknap leir on
h train for the South, taking the sleep
incr car which runs through to Weldon
N. C.
Now, on the heels of these occurrences

Particulars of The Thwarted
Attempt to
Unparalleled
Steal Them A Scheme
in the History of Crime.
Springfield (III.) Special to the Chicago
Tribune Nov. 8,)
An attempt was made this evening to
perpetrate one of the most infamous out
rages which the mind of man can con-.
ceivs ot that ot stealing tbe bones una
ashes of Abraham Liutoln. Lnfortun
ately the perpetrators escaped, leaving,
however, the evidences of their crime be
hind them, and though tbe clews are next
to nothing, it human ingenuity can track
them it will be done. Somehow or other,
no one exactly knows how, J. C. Power,
the custodian of tbe Lincoln monument,
became impressed with the idea that
there were designs upon the remains, and
be communicated his suspicions to Leo
nard Swett and Kobert Lincoln. They
could hardly believe that any one, even
the meanest and lowest scoundrel in the
land, could conceiye such a thing
However, to prevent the horse from get
tins out of the Stable, thev concluded to
lock the door to adopt precautions even
should there be nothing in the teenng
Accordingly, Swett wrote Col, Stewart,
of this city, about two weeks ago, request
ing him to station a guaid at tbe monus
nmnf I hia Woa Hftnn hit t n r And rtm(
to disturb the corpse. ' Detective Tyrrell,
1 his was done, but no one
of the United States Secret Service,
wnose neauquaners are in vnicano, iia-
me business here, was requested by
Swett and Lincoln to see Mr Power, and
to look around town and watch for sus-
uicious characters. He arrived here
three or lour davs ago. and at once com
menced a vigorous shadowing of several
of the small hotels, but he saw no one
whom he recognized. This af ternoon Mr.
Power came into town in a hurry, and
hunted un Tyrrell and iniormed him that
two veiy bardMooking cases had been out
to the cemetery looking around and he
felt sure that they were there tor no good
numose. une registered as irnm na'
cene, and the other from lrom ilenosha,
Wisconsin. Their names are suppress
ed since they have had nothing to do
wito what occurred .'ater. An etlort
will of course be made to find out who
thev are, and should they prove to be in
nocnt, injustice wouid be done them ry
telfinir now who thev are. Mr. Power,
not being used to detective work, could
dive but inenger descriptions of them.
The result of the interview with Tyrrell is
uuknown, but he must have concluded
that election nicht was an excellent one
in which to rob the tomb.
This evening's Irain brought from
Chicago ex-Lhief of tne Secret Service
Elmer Washburn, who,it seems, had been
requested by Swett and Lincoln to come
here and aid Tyrrell and three other
men went out to Oakwood and concealed
themselves in Memorial Hall inside the
monument to await developments. One
man was posted in the labyrinth in the
rear; so called because ot the walls run-
ning in different directions and making
numerous passage-ways, these walls sup-
poru as the terrace, iiis ooject was to
hear the noise made in the vault if any
were made. After patiently waiting for
nearly three hours, and when about tired
out from standing still, the utmost si
lence being imperative, he heard a gra
ting noise which lasted perhaps five min-
utes. then, in a little while, came sev
eral successive thuds, as if some one was
hammerinc. The time having arrived for

out of the door, with cocked revolvers in

thev were turning the comer to the left

revolver. Ihe noise was very ioud, so

tunately it was too loud, for, thouch there
were o it about one hundredind twenty
feet to co oyer, when the ofheers got to
the door of the vault, the dastardly vil
lains were gone. 'J hey must have had

both, and it was miraculous that they
escaped injury.
No traces of the thieves being discov
ered, the party returned to the catacomb
and beheld a sight which made them
ad. The body as i known, perhaps, i,
inclosed in a lead casket. 'J his is sur
rounded by a ceaarcase, and the recep
tacle of these is a marble sarc-phsgu
The latter has a double lid, rbe upper or.e
not being as large as thy other. Doth
had been pried off with a chisel or an
ax somewhat chipped in the operation
The under lid was laid crosswise on the
casket, t e head-piece on the floor, and
the upper lid standing against the wall
the casket itseit was ruiieu out about a
foot from the body of tbe sarcophagus
and a smalt piece had been taken ou on
the floor, where were an ax with the edge
full of marble-dust, an ordinary chisel,
and a pair of nippers. The other tools
had evidently been taken away, since the
lock on the iron-grated door had been
sawed off.
It should perhaps be stated that the
sarcophagus was in the' catacomb, and
not iu the crypt, being thus placed in or
der that visitors might see it. Ihe dam
age done is comparatively little.
The officers, of course, were disappoin'
ted at not cathcing the vandals, but they
think it is only a question of a little time
when they will be apprehended.
Ooly one motive can be attributed to
these despoilcrs of the grave, and that is
the hope of a reward for the restoration
of the remains. If they had succeeded in
carrying them off, it certainly could not
have been their intention to take away
the casket, for it must weigh from five
hundred to six hudred pounds, and half
a dozen men could not have carried it to
the fence for transfer to a wagon in the
road. It is more than likely that thev
intended to cut open the casket and gaths
er up the bones and dust of the martyr
1 resident and put them in a bog. bat
wou Id have been the indignation of the
country had this been done? The scheme
concocted by these men is certainly uu-

The following letter was yesterday re-
ceiveu iroiu a prouiineui uuanciai man
in New York by State Treasurer Mor
row: New York, Oct. 29, 187G. To the
Treasurer of Tenns. ee Sir: I hold some
of your State bonds, toeether with the un
paid .coupons, and feeling confident that
your State will be obliged to scale its debt
to relieve its oppression, as many of the
Houthern States have already doue, I will
here take the liberty of 6aying that I
would rather stand the deep scaling that
the State of South Carolina gave her
bonded debt than the scaling which Ala
bama gave hers. South Carolina reduce
ed the principal of her debt to an amount
that she could safely ind promptly man
age at six per cent. Ihe btate of Ala
bama reduced the rate of interest iinou
her debt and left the principal remain,
which will ever have a depressing effect
on her bonds. I contend that the scal
ing of the principal is better for both
parties than the scaling of the rate of in
terest. A deep shave will be as favora
bly received as a shadow one. I nm
very truly, Jno. Jacob Astor.
A Biagiag LTessaze.
New Origans, Nov. 11, 3:42 p. m
It is as certain as death that we have hon
estly carried this State by from seven to
nine thousand in spite of frauds, which
will prove beyond question when oDpor-
unity is onerea. n u cqnany certain
hat there is a plot to count us out bv
throwing out parish large y Democratic'
or by manipulating returns deposited with
supervisors of registration and with the
secretary of State. The Radical commis-
loners and supervisors retused to sign
the triplicate return for deposit with this
committee. 1 bus we have no ofhcial state
ment sf poll-lists or tally-sheets. It has
been done on previous occasions, and will
be done again unless public sentiment of
the North deters them.
