uNcotws LAST INTAT.
Andrew Johnson,• candidate for Vice
President with Lincoln, has issued a mili
tary 'eider directing that no man will be al
rowed to vote in Tennessee unless he.takes a
prescribed test oath, which, - among other
things, requires the toter to swear that he
will endorse all of Lincoln's proclamations
eventben the - vote is to be reject-,
ed, unless the voter answers all questions
satisfactorily. In other words, the citizen
is required to swear to endorse Lincoln's
negro politics, and then vote for him, or
1;01, rejected as a traitor. Ten prominent
Union- men of Tennessee who do not like
this infamous order, drew up a respectful
memorial on this - subject and sent it to
the President, asking relief from so mon
strous a party test. They proposed to a
gree to take an oath of allegiance to the
Constitution, and swear to defend it a-
gainst the assaults* of its enemies. Their
agehis to wait on Mr. Lincoln in person,
came on ro Washington, and were given
an interview. Atter s reading the memori
al, some conversation ensued, which we
quote in the. words of the spokesman of
the. delegation. Mr. Lincoln Said :
• - "May I inquire bow long it took you
and the" New York politicians to concoct
that paper?"
I replied: "It was concocted in Neal:l
- without communication with any
but •Vennesseeans. ' We' communicated
with citizens of Tennessee outside of
Nashville, but net with New York poll
tielans."
" I Will answer," said Mr. Lincoln em
phatically, "that I expect tcrlet the friends
of George 13. Ik . fcelellan manage their aide
of:this contest in their own way, and I
will' manage my side of hilt my way."
"May we ashnn answer in writing ?" I
suggested.
A`Not now; lay these papers down
here. I will give no other answer now.
I may or may not write something about ,
this hereafter. - I understand this. I
know yen' intend to make a'point of this.
But go ahead ; you 'have' my answer."'
" Yeriar answer then, is, that you expect
tole% Geocral friends manage
their side ofthis - conteit in their own way,
sod 'you'irill manage your side of it in
your Way ?"
'"Yes."'u,,
Which simply Wpanti that Lincoln , does
not intend to allow , any man to vote a•
gainst him where he has-the military
power toprevent it,as helas in Tennessee.

=Mr• Dawes' speech on these corruptions
was a telling document. We glyc o l/ few

A Republican member of Congress,Cel:
Van Wyok, speaking of these favorites,
who are being enriched out of {he bird
earnings of the people, says :
"They have injured the Republic more
than the • South in arms! 'Had they .
been 'arrested and pinned in the gallows
or- id 'Fort Lafayette, Your ;army would
have", been stronger' and your people at
home more united. No wonder that your
soldiers and their friends are dissatisfied.
They cannot appreciate the patriotism of
stealing !"
Senator Hale, republican, from his place
in the Senate, Said :
"'I declare upon my responsibility as a
Senator that the liberties of the country
are'in greater danger to-day from the cor
ruptions and from the prolligacy . practiced
in the various departments of Lae govern
dent than they are from the enemy in the
open field."
The New Hampshire Courier, a relia
ble government paper, says:
" Contractors have carried on the war.
The blood of the men, the groans of the
wounded, the tears of the orphan and
widow „ have been coined into money:—
They Ave swindled the government out
of hundreds of millions. They have
. piled
fortune upon fortune. As a distinguished
officer at Washington said, all the oper

, Says the New York Tribune,- during
one of us lucid intervals, in speaking of
the war ';
"Iti has saddled us with a debt that
will take bread from the mouth of every
laboring man's child for generations, and
send millions hungry to. bed." •
All these contractors and robbers are
for Lincoln, because he would, if elected,
allow them another four years of unpun

HONESTY left.
Grant Expects a Long War.
Let those who think tbn war ,near to its
elcise read and reflect upon the order of
Gen. Grnnt. On the 20th he sent Custer
and Merritt's divisions up the Shenandoah
Valle,y' to execute an order, which says:
"Do all the damage you can to the rail
roads and crops. Carry off all descriptions
of stock, and negroes so as to prevent
further planting. .1.4 the Shenandoah
Valley remain a barren waste.
V. S. Galr.
If Grant believed the war near a lose,
or even if be expected soon to take Rich
mond, be would not, have issued such an
order, at this time. If he could capture
Richmond, the "rebel'army must abandon
Virginia, and there would ix+ no need of
making that valley °a barren Waste." The
order, therefore, ta, prevent the ,planting
cif crops in future Tears, predicts a long
war 'even in Virginia.
Yes,' a long war and several more heavy
drafts.

There is reason to believe that there
will be no movement this year against
Richmond, and that, the attack upon that
city is postponed until next May or June.
It is no longer a secret that the rebels
have again thwarted Gen. GmntYs move
ment for the capture of Richmond. His
ititeption was to have accumulated a vast
army of three or four hundred thousand
men, with a view to invest Richmond on
every side. After the fall of Atlanta,. it is
supposed he could spare fifty or sixty thous
and troops from the West, and take all
the conscripts to be added tothe Army of
the Potomac and of the James. But the
evasion of Missouri by Price, and the
Menacing of St. Lonis,,theattnekof Rood
upon Sherman's rear and the activity of
guerrillas., and rebel , raiding parties
throughout Tgnuessee and; Kentucky, and
last of all, the wonderful vitality of the
rebel armies in the Shenandoah, have pre
vented• the cencentrktion of troops le
Grant's..,army to be adjective in time for
the presidents' election. A large part of
this army is composed of raw recruits,
and Gen. Gran; is supposed to be unwill
ing to force them against the strong de
lenses of Richmond, while he would not
have hesitated had he a sufficient number
of Sberidan's of Sherman's veterans. The
theory is, thatin all probability the cam
paign against, Richmond will be postponed
until next May, that another draft for three
hundred 'thousand mgn may be made after
the election, which draft, will be real•
one, and all the men *ill be secured and
incorporated intim armiesduringthe com
