NASHVILLE, July 8.
Gov. Brownlow's expected proclamation
appeared this morning. 1t commands the
Commissioners Of Registration to appoint
Clerks and Judges of election commands
the Sheriff to open and hold the elections on
the first Thursday in August, and to make
returns as vouched for by the said clerks and
judges. He also instructs the clerks and
judges to make out separate poll books, re-
cord the votes and send them to the Execu-
tive and State Departments, as a provision
against neglect of duty on the part OF the
Sheriff He concludes by ordering the com.
manders of State guards to arrest Judge
CAN'T, Chairman OF the Conservative Central
Committee, or any of said committee, or
agents, if they shall persist in their efforts to
defeat the execution of the franchise law as
construed by him, and also break up and dis
perse all assemblies having in view the hold
ing of illegal elections, or the defeat OF any
regular election.
Judge CAN'T and the Central Conservative
Committee had, previous to the appearance
of the proclamation, withdrawn their recon.
mendation to the County Court to appoint
clerks and judges of election, and advised all
to conform to the Governors construction Of
the franchise law, though believing it to be
wrong.
No collision is likely to grow out of this
subject.
bore Of the wounded at Franklin have

that the shooting was commenced by the
colored leagues, and this fact will be proved.

The Raleigh, hence for Havana, has on board
about ten Austrian officers who arrived from
Vera Cruz via Mobile, and now go to Has

they have an opportunity to join some Mexi>

They declare that they will remain in Mexico
and avenge Maximilian's death; that few

sry. In their report the Committee concede
that the issues OF City Scrip, by the Comp
troller, have never been legalized by Legis

legality to a certain veto Of the acting Mayor,
and contend that, if informal, the city is
bound in honor to pay them. The Commit.
