While upon the subject of the colored races, l
may be permitted to say that some definite Iegsla-
ton is necessary for the protection, disposition gov
eminent and control of the emancipated slaves
among US. What the character of that legislation
should be- it is not my province to say; bat leave
it to the good sense experience and reflection Of the
members of the General Assembly TO determine
Heretofore the legislation of the State has been
against the slave population. When the Federal
forces are withdrawn from Tennessee many Of those
who fought to perpetuste slavery will show the

class who are now rude and insolent towards their

The oppo2ers Of the Franchise Act OF this Gen

of Repentance and parable ever written has such
attractions for them the parable of the Prodigal
Son. They never weary of quoting this parable OF
unequalled beauty and pathOs 1t Il interesting tc
note the difference between the Prodical Son and
these returning rebels First, the Prodigal Son did
not secede; he went with his fathers consent and
the Scriptures indicate with his blessing Next, he
trent he did not stay and Willy the old msn in his
own house be asked for something to start him in
the world; did not point pistol and demand the
old mans greenbacks; he received the portion his
father gave him; he did not stsa! it. and receiving
it. he started out TO seek bis fortune" He did not
go TO the south side Of the farm and join band Of
robbers who were plundering the old man, but qui-
city took his journey into a far country. Finally
ne repented Of his folly, not because the old man
'Chipped him into repentance but because he came
to himself, and saw that he had wasted his sub
stance in riotous living. He went back home, not
with murder in his heart threatening what he would
do, but bowed down in honest contrtion and asking
all sorts of pardon He did not go back saying, Il

sinned against heaven and before thee, and am no
more worthy to be called thy son." He went back
