DISTURBANCE.
The Tennessee State election YES
tcrday passed off very quietly.
In Memphis The saloons were all
closed, and tho best order prevailed.
The twcnty-Grst infantry were station
ed at Courthouse Square during the
day, but they were not called out.
By the arrangement the whites andno-
grocs were to have separate voting
places; but later in tho day, finding
that they could not all vote thus,,thcy
sought other polls in crowds, and then
many were unable to vote owing to
the short time allowed. Tho CITY
gives hrownlow 2292 majority.
In Nashville; tho election was the
qulct"st ever known. The whites
and blacks voted without Interruption.
At the polls few persons were ar
rested for attempting to vote twice,
and others for carrying concealed
weapons. Returns from all the wards
but one give Brownlow 3l63 Ether
idgc, 704. -Four districts in the co,m.
ty give Brownlow 457; Ethcridcc,
1919. The Republican ticket is ali
elected.
The returns from the different Soc
tlons of the State come in slowly.
Every county in Middle and East
tennessee, so far as heard from, has
gone Republican. Brownlow, proha-
bly, carries every county in the State.
except those in West Tennessee, and
they arc doubtful. Middle Tennessee
gives him majority of at least l5,-
600. Nashville city gives him $500,
ana Davidson county over 1000. The
Republicans Congressman arc elected
beyond doubt Mason, who ran in
the Nashville district rs an indcpcnd
cnt Radical, on the conliscation plat
form, received only q few votes.
Ofthc Legislature, twcnty out Of
twcnty-tlrce Republicans arc elected
for the upper house, and all but two
Of the eighty three representatives il,
the lower house, cnsuring the election
OF Republican United States Scna
tor. The returns in thus far Indicate
q majority in tho State for Brownlow
of $4,000, which will probably be in
creased to 10000.

OF course it is not surprising that
Brownlow should 10 elected, as he
has had full control over The rcgistra-
tion of voters and had himself pre-
scribcd the degree of radicalism ne
cessary to the acknowledgement of
each voters "truly loyal" condition.

Colts pistol, one cylinder empty, with
which he is supposed to have committed
the deed.
Tho ball entered his car, and so
centrally, that it was with difficulty that
the examining surgeon asccrtanod the
TACT, as his face and head were covered
with blood. All tho circumstances and
the testimony adduced led to the con.
cluson that the deed was tho work Of
