T H E - H E E R IC IM K R i N . Y h •El>NE>ti>A.Y. ATTGTIST i l , ASI The news from Tennessee is as good as onecouM w lsk TheRads have been completely routed. In the language of the poet “ there is not a grease spot of ’em left.” Senter’s majority will reach, accord ing to the latest reports, nearly 65,000. Stokes has carried only a few counties, and in some localities has hardly votes enough to indicate that h e was a can didate. W e rejoice at this Conserva tive victory, but a Eadical friend says to.us,.“ you don’t call this a triumph of the Democracy, do you ?” 3^0, not exactly, sir. I t is better than that. H a d the Democrats attempted to run a straight ticket in Tennessee, although they might have honestly carried the election, it^would have ‘tight plai • done no good. Congress would have taken matters in their own hands and would not have allowed Democratic officials to qualify. You, my. consist ent Eadical friend, would have said, “ it is ail right,— Congress is sound.” Now, however, you must accept the situation. Dewitt C. Senter is a Ee- puhlican, a man whose disabilities yoii have removed by special act o f Con gress. Elected Lieutenant Governor on the Brownlow ticket, he note sees the danger of i U Eadicdl policj and the necessity for a change. He comes squarely out on the Conservative-plat- fbrxn, and receives the unanimous sup port of the Democratic citizens of Tennessee. The Eadical members of the Cabinet, Boutwell and Cresswell, endorse Stokes, and it issupposedihat the sympathy of the adminisU-ation is with the Stokes party. Under these circumstances are we not justified in rejoicing at the triumph of Seister ? Mr. Senter like Mr. W alker, o f Vir ginia, imisl listen to the voice and wishes o f those who elected him, and he cannot, i f he would, go over to the Eadicals. The real significance o f this victory is not in the election of Gov ernor, but in the control o f the Legis lature which the Democrats have ob tained. It is .now certain that the next TJ. S. Senator from Tennessee drew Johnson, the man of a l t men whom the Eadicals hate the most.— The Legislature will overthrow the pet schemes of the Eadicals and enact Jaws so that hereafter the whole peo ple may participate in the government o f the State, and Tennessee will assume her proper position beside Kentucky in the Democratic ranks. This is our view of the result in Tennessee, and we believe it is.the correct one. W e are not given to prophesying very much, and we may be mistaken in Some o f our expecta tions this time, but one thing we are certain of, we can cheer snd feel good whenever our Eadical friends pick up the papers, look at the latest dispatch es, and with a melancholy cast of countenance give one o f those sonorous groans which indicate so much. W e like to see or hear of anything that; gives the Kepublican party a political colic, and the result in Tennessee has doubled up that corrupt bid organiza- '\PEO0K1ESS.

The following extract reveals the state of feeling among the Drench Liberals much better than anything that can be said by American journals, or anything that can be known from the recent attempts of Lotris LEON to conciliate his subjects by con cessions. Hsisrfei E ochefort , in the sixtieth number o f Jja Lantome, has the follow ing comments bn the arrest o f Mr. W aeeejst : “ Just now the Warren affair is get- the French government into a dace. Mr. Warren is an Amer ican who was two-thirds assassinated by the sergents devills^in crossing the boulevard during the late troubh and then arrested and held in durance for two days. I f Mr. Warren had Frenchman he would have ssed to the correctional police, and would have got three months in prison; but as an American, h e has gone and hunted up his Ambassador, makes a prompt demand of pub lic reparation and indemnity^ The very tight situation. demnity tO Mf.

To i;efuse the reparation and indemnity, is to be exposed to having ones moi tache plucked out by the Americi the onHATT MOVBMBET. Every few days something new oc curs in regard to the Spanish-Cuban muddle. The last thing is the arrest o f the Spanish gunboats by our Gov ernment. Many friends of the Cuban cause h ave felt as though the neutrality •which our Government has at last 8umed,was operating very hard against the patriots, and in favor o f the Span ish power. But Spain hemelf is now getting a specimen o f our neutrality; she must learn better than to attempt to fit out gunboats in'our ports, to op erate against a power -with which we jare at peace like Peru. The war with Peru is a glorious thing for the Cubans. Spain cannot prosecute successfully two wars and at .the same time attend to her internal dilSeultieS. The Peruvian Gov'^rn- ment has already recognized the Eev- olutionary Government o f Cuba, and will encourage and aid 'the Cubau cause.
