Did We not regard the subject of the

of great interest to the people of that and
this city, Of this and adjacent counties,
and, in fact, to the people of the State at
large, We would not even refer to it this
week, pressed as We are for want of space
and time. Knowing practically but lit

military vs. Civil Power.

The notorious Parson Brownlow, at pres
ent disgracing the executive department
of Tennessee, has recently issued a proc
lamation in which he asserts that the civil
authorities hold their Offices, and discharge
their functions by permission Of the mile,
tory who are still quartered among the
people Of that State. This is truly re-
freshing. The military graciously permits
the civil authorities to rule,-so long as
they rule according to the crude partizan
ideas Of some pompous gentleman who has
been lucky enough to work his way up to
the command of military department.
True the constitution Of the United States
expressly provides that the military shall
be subordinate to the civil power; but then
that venerable relic of a former age is
now obsolete, especially in Tennessee, and
in these latter days the civil authorities are
placed under control of their former sub
ordinate. y new era has been Inaugural

to hear it announced that another amend

which the military will be, according to
law rs it now is in fact, superior to the
civil authority. One would think that q

In the Lexington district, and indeed all
over the state, this infamous conduct took
place. In some of the precincts to such a

closed the polls All these outrages
were known to Smith and others, abolition

No Colts is said that man living
in the country, few days ago came to
town, got a couple of friends here to in
dorse a note for five hundred dollars paya-
bic in Bank, went and drew the money
and in day or two thereafter undertook
to skedadle leaving his sureties to foot the
bill. They however got an inkling Of
what was going on and just as he was
about getting on the train, Sheriff Logan
served upon him writ Of ne-ereot, that is
in plain english no 90. After some little
parleying he handed over the original
package of greenbacks unbroken. just a,
he received it from the Bank, and the

lowed him to depart, which he did, thank
full that matters were no worse.

.a.4~As.~--

Two weeks ago we stated the fact that
n notice had been given of the time or
place Of holding the meeting to make ar
rangements for the soldier free dinner
We also stated that none but republicans
were permitted to participate in those ar
rangcmcnts. The Republican admits that
the charges were true, and labors through
half column of senscless twaddle, every
word of which nine tenths of its readers
sible the narrow minded bigotry and ex-
clusivencss of those who took part in that
proceeding. The Republican allcdges
that democrats refused to contribute to-
wards defraying the expenses Of soldiers
at the commencement of the war. The
truth is that on the occasion referred to
some democrats contributed and some re-
fused, and some republicans refused and
some contributed, there was no partizan
feeling on the subject among tne citizens
here at that time. 1t was only when re-
publicans became exclusive and intolerant;
when they attempted to override free
speech and free press, that democrats
found 1t necessary to part company with
them, or to surrender the dearest rights of
American citizens Fanatics in the re-
republican party began to press their ultra
notions upon the great body of the people
for acceptance, and attempted to enforce
them by the strong arm of military power.
They succeeded SO far as the adninistra-
ton party was concerned, but democr IS
true to their principles founded in consti
tutional liberty refused to do evil that
good might come, and the result was a
furious onslaught upon them and their prin-
ciples such as was never before witnessed
in any republican governments. Passion
ruled the hour, fanatics rcigned triumph
as good and true men as ever laborcd and
prayed for the prosperity and pcrmanence
in loathSome dungeons, exilcd from their
homes, their property destroyed, their
persons outraged and III many instances
their lives taken. in the name of liberty
and union. And even now when the war
is ended, and the rebellion crushed, when
law and order should resume their accus-
toned sway, there are found men among
us who are possessed of So little common
decency or patri ISM, as to do all in their
power to perpctuite strife and lawlessness,
discussion and hate, by the use of means
which the devil himself would blush to
use. They seem to gloat with fendish
delight over the prospect of a collision
among neigbbors and friends, and labor
with might anu main to infamc the pass
ions, create aniIHosities, and arouse the
prejudices OF the people in order if posi-
bic to provoke disturbance among them.
Such men are worthy of promotion to a
Captaincy i'll the armies Of certain trop-
icai country the name of which may not
be spoken to ears polite. Satan himself
could hardly do justice to their efforts in
aid Of his cause. If any of our republ
can friends think us un charitable or harsl

of justice to read carefully the article
