grown out Of the agitation. of the
subject of the approaching Municipal

controversy has actually arisen IN
two or more cities as to who are
qualified voters in such elections,
and who are the proper authorities
to appoint the Judges and Clerks OF
said elections;
Now, therefore, /, WILLIAM u.
BRoWNLow, Governor of the State
of Tennessee, in the discharge OF the
duties imposed upon me by law, do
hereby proclaim that the Commits
sioner of Registration under the
Franchise law is the proper person
to appoint the Judges and Clerks of
all elections and that the qualified
Voters in all Municipal elections are
those only who have certificates of
registration, and who are qualified to
vote for members of the General
Assembly. The Franchise law is a
part and parcel of the Constitution
has been sustained by the Supreme
Court of Tennessee-and all elections
held in violation Of said law are null
and void, anb of no effect whatever.

their appearance. They were in ignorance
Of the tragedy just enacted. Judge tud-
low directed an officer to get carriage

was done, although the object was still

His wife was Informed of his death at II
O'Clock, and she Immediately came 10 the
coroner's office, where she wept bitterly,
and frequently asserted that her husband

in the One Hundred and Nineteenth
regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers, from

The Bright Side,

The New York Citizen suggests that
the apparent harshness Of the reconstruc.
ton measure lately adopted by Congress
is modified by the facts:
/. That the assignment of the COM
mandiDg officsro Of the districts is to be
made by the President 2. These officers
may organize military tribunals, or may
leave the local civil tribunals in tAe exer.
else Of full Jurisdiction over all offenders;
8. No cruel or unusual punishments can
be inflicted, and no sentence OF death can
be carried into execution without the an,
prevail Of the President and 4. Tie ma.
chinsry Of the local government,-wbile
they are declared illegal, merely provision.
al. and wholly subject to the authority Of
Congress-is left untouched.
1t is not to be presumed that the pow.
ers conferred upon the commanding off.
GERS Of the districts, will be exercised to
the embarrassment or the supercedure of
the civil authorities, except when essential
to the maintenance Of order and the en-.
forcemeut Of the laws. II such interfer.
ence were necessary, Mr.. johnson would
see that it was promptly interposed; but
if resorted to without due cause, he would
With equal promptitude exercise his right
Of assignment aud OF recall. We do not
apprehend that the provisions relative TO
the creation Of military tribunals will have
any extensive application in practical ad.
ministration, for the simple reason that,
except iu a very few localities, there will
be no occasion or excuse for them.
The compens ations for the drawback
enumerated above, are found Q.) In the
fact, that however Objectionable this meas.
ure may be, any proposed by the next
Gongress will bs likely to be more so :;
(2) That this bill is not experim entail
with one State, but embraces all in it's
provisions; (3) While proposing the al.
ssrna.ive Of military rule, it leaves a pro.
liability that the civil governments will
not be materially interferred with a. Il
recognizes the Executive. and gives him
an opportunity TO exercise the most im-
portant influence on the process Of recon
suuetion; Is 1t submits definite con di.
tions Of complete reconstruction, and opens
a road-a rough one. it is true, for those
most Immediately concerned-for "restor.
ing the South to place in the Union"

Much TAXING OF OATHs "A Western
editor, who has been r lawyer, in one Of
his lucid intervals, writes the following {:
"A practice Of thirty years in the tri e.
bunals Of civil and criminal justice has
satisfied Us that any man who will vii.
fully and deliberately lie for the purpose
OF benefting himself, or injuring another,
will as readily swear to that lie. Oaths
have been so cheapenej, by being so uni
versalIy and unnecessarily required, that
they have come to have no saucrity at
all. We would just as soon take a mans
testimony without bis oath as with it.
