Who are Legal Voters.

The near approach of the Presidential
election makes it important to large class
that it should be definitely known who are
legal voters. The question is determined by
the law of Tennessee and the decision of the
Supreme Court. The following decision OF
the Supreme Court very clearly settles the
question
The words " citizens of the county, a.
used in the first section of the fourth article
of the Constitution of this State, means a
member of the body polite, entitled TO exer-
else the ordinary rights of citizenship. A
person born within the limits of the United
States. who has resided in any county in this
State for six months preceding any general
election. is entitled to vote in said election If
he has attained the age CT twenty-one years.
But person of foreign birth is not citizen
until he becomes naturaliZed and he cannot
therefore vote in any election in the Stale,
unless he has resided in the county wher.. he
offers TO vote months after has Naturalization
next preceding such election. [Sneed's Re
ports, vol 8, page 1921
From the above, it will be seen that any
free white citizen of the United States. I" who
has resided in any county in this State for
six months preceding any general election,
Is euIllAcQ tO bOtc III eleCIlGn. But q
foreigner has TO wait till he is naturalized,
and six months after his naturalization
Naturalization papers are proof of natural
ization, and every adopted citizen, who Ce
sires to vote, should be prepared to exhibit
his papers, if challenged. Toprevent fraudu-
lent voting, it should be uniform rule at
every precinct to require the exhibition of
naturalization papers.
The law of the State also provides-see
Code, page 876-that- $500
1t is misdemeanor TO vote in any election
not being legally qualified to vote, or to vote
under any assumed fictitious name, whether
such person be a qualified voter or not.
The penalty for violation of the above Sec
ton is fine or Imprisonment, or both, at the
discretion OF the Court and jury trying the
offence.
In another section of the Code, page ST.,
it is provided that @
If any person bring, or aid in bringing,
fraudulent voters into this State, for the pur-
pose OF practicing fraud upon the elective
franchise. such person shall. upon conviction,
be imprisoned in the penitentiary not less
than two, nor more than five years.

no one at loss TO determine his rights and
privileges In the premises.

Stanton and Harris NJ FenowshIp.

We have received a long aRd interesting
communication giving an account of the dis
cussOn between Hon. S. s. STANTON, of Smith
county, and Gov. HARRIS. at Fellowship in
Rutherford county on the 1st inst. Our cor
respondent gives us synopsis of the
speeches, from which it appears that the gal
liant STANTON completely routed the Governor
at all points. We regret our inability to
print the account in full; but the pressure
on our columns at the close of the canvass is
such as to forbid our doing so. Mr.. STANTON
is one of the ablest men in the State, of his
age, and the country is largely indebted to
him for the repeated and powerful efforts he
has made in behalf of the Constitution and
the Union during the pending struggle. All
honor to the noble and unf1inching STANTON

GaFIbaIdi's Personal HerOism.
A correspondent of the Journal dts Debas

A correspondent of the Journal DIS Debats
says:
The most brilliant episode of the action OF
the Ist of October was the recapture of the
battery at the foot of Mont San-Augelo.
When | left Santa Maria, / knew that this bat
terry had been very much disabled in the
morning. Gdribaldi arrived at nine o'clock,
when the enemy was laundering at itwith all
his strength, Decause il took him in flank, and
was Causing him severe loss. The triple bat
terry cOurageOusly resisted the attack, and
never slackened fire, when all at once the one
situated at the foot of the hill became silent.
The ROyalists, TO tie number of $500 got
round the hill, and rushing upon the guns,
spiked five of them, and killed several of the
men at their pieces. Garibaldi, on the San
TaInmarO side. soon observed the silence of
his fivorite battery, and an aid-de-camp from
General Milwitz soon informed him of the
disaster, which would probably have lost him
the battle. Garibaldi at once started off.
crossed Santa Maria, followed 10y Medici and
his staff and collecting what men he could,
cried ont in a voice which caused all TO shud-
der, . We are going to die, but the Italians
must win the day; at all other points we
have conquered" FOLLOWED By 100 men. at a
rapid space, Garibaldi, leading the way in a
small disabled carriage, went right forward
But just as they got near the Casino of
San Angelo, some NeapolItan chaSseurs, who
were lying on the ground, rose and fell upon
them. The coachman drove his horses into
a ditch, and formed barricade of the carri-
age. Garibaldi jumped up, indignant. and
went up to the chasseurs, shouting Viva
Italia !" Some of his men coming up at the
same time, the enemy became demUralzed
and took to flight. Garibaldi was slightly
wounded in the stomach, and his trowsers
were riddled by two or three bullets. ''If
only had another pair" he said and without
further remark he continued his march to-
wards a battalion of $50 Hungarians, COM
manded by Gen. Mogy GRADY. He pointed to
the Neapolitans who were in possession of the
battery, and cried out to them. For ward
my lads; disperse that rabble yonder for
me - This ..rabbie" consisted of regiment
of the line, a squadron of cavalry, compa-
ny of chasseurs, and company of artillery.
The Hungarians, without waiting to count
the numbers of the adversary, rushed forward
and charged with the bayonet. After a con-
test of twenty minutes the battery was re-
taken, and once more it poured its storm OF
grape upon the NeapOlitan troops, who fed
in confusion across the fields. The HGHga-
rians, in this encounter, had 80 men put hors
da combat the Neapolitans about 200. Carl
baldi did not wait to dress his wound, but
hurried elsewhere. The day, however, was
now won,

The fusion against Republieanism in New
York would be perfect but for the factious
conduct of some of the Breckenridge men,
The Journal Of Commerce says:
The course of Hon. James T. Brady, and
his position before the public at this time,
are such as to excite surprise among bis
friends and indignation on the part of the
opponents of Republicanism throughout the
State. In the earliest stages of the CAM
paign, when the Electoral and State tickets
we're unsettled, and there was doubt whether
any arrangements could be made to produce
united action upon either, the acceptance by
Mr.. Brady OF the nomination rendered him
for the Office of Governor was proper, and
accompanied as it was by declaration OF
bis readiness to accede to the wishes of the
Breckenridge Democrats of the State, in har-
monizng the differences in the anti-Lincoln
ranks, was perhaps the best course for him
to pursue. But when viewed in the light of
Axisting facts, his persistence in running, with

THE ADMINISTRATION ME4NNEss-On the
Slst of August, a faithful old custom-house
war of 1912, was for party purposes assessed
thirty dollars upon his little salary. Having
a large family dependent upon him, and
knowing that be would lose his place ifhe re-
fused to pay the thirty dollars, he paid it
promptly. The neu day hereceiUed hi, dismissal.

out of him, cut him adrift in favor of a sue

What south Carolina will 10.

The St Louis Ae,rs publishes letter from
Hon JUHN a. IyGLIs. of South Carolina, adj
dressed to CHAs.F. VANDERFoRD, Esq, of St.
Louis The Judge writes from CHERAw un-
der date ofthe 10Th ult. We copy the closing
paragraph of his letter, from which il will
be seen that he is of the opinion that South
Carolina will secede should ,LISCoLS be
elected:
In 1851, the People of this State decided
by majority OF six thousand votes only, U
think.) not against the expediency of Seces-
sion absolutely, but against the expediency
OF such Secession without the Cooperation
OF other Stat Is having similar interest in the
subject OF complaint. If any considerable
number OF the other Southern States had
then joined with South Carolina in such a
movement, i have no doubt that large ma
Jority of our voters would have sustained it.
In the interval of time since elapsed. the
hostile purposes OF the Abolition party at
the North, the unrelentiDg malignity with
which they are pursued. and the favor OF the
Northern People generally thereto, have been
more and more clearly developed and mani
tested. All hope Of justice from that quarter
is utterly gone. During this same period.
there has been going steadily on, a CORES
poEding change in the public mind among
ourselves, until, with an approach to unan-
init y which is wonderful, the stern and reso-
lutte demand Of the People is for resistance.
The masses are IA 0dDdfice of the political
Leaders. A large majority of the successful
candidates at the election for members of the
Legislature recently held. are in favor of the
Secession of South Carolina in the event of
LincOln's election; and almost all, perhaps
all without exception, in favor of referring
the course TO be pursued by the State, upon
that event. Immediately TO Convention of
the People That such Convention will be
called, is as certain as anything future, de-
p-nding ON the will of man. can be. AID
my conviction is, that whether or not any
other States Cooperate, the Convention will
declare the political connection of South
Carolina with ine Federal Union of the
States. at an end, and proceed 40 VIII At
ever will be necessary to give effect TO such
declaration. Any attempt now to indicate
the precise course which will he pursued in
carrying out such an act of separation, must
necessarily be conjectured, and would have
no more value than my individual opinion
would give it. The People here do not seek
to conceal from themselves that Secession
will probably involve the necessity OF ii
bloody conflict IN order to its final accom-
plishment; aud they are, without undue eX-
cit ment, endeavOring to be "aniHais Cpl
busgue parah" Such Conflict, it is believed
must come at some time. as the sweeping
tide of fanatical folly cannot be turned back
upon itself; and the conviction is spreading
that it is better that it should come now.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.


AT a called meeting OF Club No l. Division A, of the
Ancient and Independent Order of Single Fellows held
at their Hall in Nashville the 81 day of November
1860, the Honorable the Grand President alluded in
the touching and pathetic manner to the melan-
chOly event to commemorate which the meeting was
convened when Brother Fitzboggs, offered, with a
few feeling remarks, the following prehmbe and reso-
lutions which adopted amid the sobs and tears
the brethren:
Whereas-We have heard with unfeigned sorrow Of
the untimely departure of our beloved and honored
Brother JOIN d. BRIF.N, who has been smtten down

Resolred-That in view of our recent heartrendng
loss and the causes which led thereto we ask ourselves
the solemn question,
: Why do we mourn for marrying friends,
Or shake at Loves alarms y?
and strive to convince ourselves and enc another that
It's but the voice which Hymen sends
To call to his arms
Resoiced-That live that when the summons
comes to join the innumerable caravan to which
lamented Brother now belongs may go not the
unwilling victim scourgcd the altar but soothed
and sustained by unfaerng trust in the reality of
welded bliss who wraps the drapery of his
da couch about him and lies down to pleasant
dreams.
Resotred-Tat these resolutions be spread very thin
upon the minutes of this Club, that they be pub
lished free of expense, in the Daily Patriot and that

On motion, the meeting adjourned TO Rddlebergers,
