should Preachers be Deprived of thei
Votes


VOtesi
The answer is very clear Every citizen has The
right to VOTE il matters not what his cslliug pro-
fessioE may be, who has been a resident in the
county in which he offers to vote for six months
previous to the election. This Is all that the laws
of Tennessee require, and any other conclusion
that may be given is unWsrranted and not sustained
by any authority whatever
The Rev AIr. D, g Methodist minister, was
stationed By the last Methodist Conference Ores
den, and entered upon his lsbogs AZ that place in
November, Immediately after the conference adj
journed. Was he entitled 10 vote in the late cleo
ton? The laws of Tennessee decide that he was.
Under this impression he oei ed his vote and it
challenged by Mr.. Etherdge himself, who would
not permit him to vots until ne had first taken the
prescribed oath, and stated that he had resided in
Dresden for six months preceding the election, and
considered it bis home for the time being. Mr..
Etheridge was demonstrated with at the time, and
assured of the fact which he himself very very well
knew, that the Rev. Mr.. D. had been residing in
Dresden and had preached regularly to the people
there every Sabbath for the las eight months.
But AIr, f. was memorable and insisted that he
a divine-should be sworn. These are facts which
are corroborsted by the statement of the Judges,
and numbers Of citizens who we're Witnesses Of the
whole transaction.
The answer of the Rev Mr.. D. who was not to
be deferred by this effort on the part of Mr. Ether
idge to keep him from voting Characteristic Of
q true minister of God SAID he: 80 am not 10 be
frightened by the Bible from dichargo Of my duty,
for it is my daily companion and know It's pre-

oath and became quslifnd voter. 10 answer t.
Mr.. Els interrogatOry, whether he considered
that his home, he, substance, stated that he had
been sent there to preach and labor and that, as
Methodist preacher, wherever his work was, there
he considered his home-he had none tber.
What is very remarkable in this is the vote of
he stationed preacher two years ago was lot ques-
toned by Mr.. E., though he was present when it
was offered; but in this case be suspected that it
was against him. and hence his auxiety TO deny

Of meeting between the Prince of Wales and
Prince ALFRED, at the Edinburgh railway station.
On the next morning, says the North British Nal,
"the Prince of Wales quite Unexpectedly drove up
to the Edinburgh Botanical Gardens, and having in
spected the lighthouses and pslm-houses, assisted at
the trsnsplanGing Of lareh tree from tae plain to
the billy part of the gardens. There were very few
people, mostly ladies, in the gardens, but these
