General Orders.

We have another batch Of these, from
the Caliphs, not Of Bagdad, but Lou
isiana, Alabama, ctc.,--One signed
"Shcridan,'' removing Governor Wells
and another signed "Pope" of Bull
notoriety, restoring the publication of
an incendiary Radical sheet, that had
been saying something very like coun-
selling the negroes to shoot down white
men, etc, etc.
As to this removal Of the Governor
of State by Military satrap acting
under the authority of the Rump Con
gress, one can only regret that there
should be any of the forms even of
State government left down there at all.
Bet t,r sweep them all away at once, and
be done with it. The thing will then
look less like cheat, than it does now.
General Sheridan, we are told, has
appointed one Thomas j. Durant Gov
ernor in Wells place, But what new
theory in our system of government is
this,-which entrusts the power Of ma
king and unmaking Governors to a mil
itary officer, the creature ofCongres3? ?
The People, heretofore, have had some
thing to say in the election of Cover
nors,-but the People, now, are nobod-
ies,-the Caliphs, or the epaulettcs,
alone being supreme.
Let Us forvery shame sake, in our
Fourth of July orations and speeches,
have no more to say about down-trod-
den Poland, oppressed Ireland, or Tur-
kish tyranny in Crete. There is no Pe-
land more down-trodden, no Ireland
more oppressed, no Crete more tyran-
nized over than these military depen-
denotes of ours by the caliphs and sa
traps whom the Radicals hare placed
over them.
For Wells, personally, there is but
little sympathy,-having been, of late,
but supple tool in the hands OF hi:
masters; but his removal from office
under the circumstances, is, neverthe
less, another landmark on the highway
of military dcspotism, upon which Rad
icalism is marching,-as people who
were wont to say, "W here Liberty
dwells, there is my country."-Nea
York Express.

BrOwillow's Tennessee Militia

Governor Brownlow has ordered the
arrest of Captain William V. Hickman
and Lieutenant Holt, of Franklin coun-
ty, for permitting citizen named james
Brown, who was under arrest, to he
shot by the State militia under THEN
command The officers will be dsms-
sed the State service and handed over
to the civil authorities for trial. The
Governor will issue general order SC
verely reprchcnding the disorder on the
part of the State troops, and directing
them to act only in support of the civil
authorities and the maintenance o!
peace, - Baltimore Gazette.
The substance of the above was tel
egraphed over the North several day
ago, and yet we have heard Of no ar
rests-no turning over of the murder
ers of Brown to the civil authorities
no dismissal Of the officers from the
State service--and no general order re
pretending the disorder on the part OF
the militia. The design Of these tcle-
grams is evidently, says the Nashville
Dispatch, through falsehood, to break
the damning force of the atrocious acts
of Radicalism in Tennessee, upon the
minds of the people Of all parties in the
North. A plain statement of the con
dition of affairs in Tennessee would
sink the guilty wretches who commit
and tolerate the outrages upon the per
sons and liberties of this people to the
lowest depth of public scorn and con
tempt everywhere, save within pre-
cincts of q called Loyal League and
they know it, and hence the effort to
deceive the public mind elsewhere.

From the Nashvill0Gazottcl

rom VIC Nasty ili"IdHtlltI
We learn from the State organ that
"Major-Gcncral Joseph A, Cooper, of
Knoxville, has been commissioned
General by Gov. Brownlow, and plac-
ed in command Of all the forces ser
wing in the Tennessee State Guard
Gov Brownlow's health is so delicate,
and the other responsibilities dcyolving
upon him at this time are so many and
weighty, that he deemed it due to the
public service to place in immediate
command of the State Guard one who
enjoys the highest confidence and es-
teen Of the ioyai people Of the State"
All which reads with such surpris-
ing smoothness that, found any where
else, We would have set it down as a
Copperhead utterance. CHASING health
US one of tie gubernatorial "responsi-
bilities" is u Joke" we suppose
The Press & Times further assures us
that General Cooper is q soldier o
ability and experience So it seem;
that Brownlow needs soldiers Of abil
ity and experience" to carry the com
ing election! What brazen impudenct
our old GoverneSs has, to he sure
However, it being confessed that "sol
dier of ability and experience is need
ed we must give due credit to MIR:
Brownlow's wisdom in resigning her
tie of ''commandcr-in CHIEF to
"Fighting Jo," and contenting her
self with the "etc." She is u capital
yirago, but never was suspected OF be
ing an Amazon.

Candidates Oath.

AS timely information to Conseva-
tive candidates throughout the State,
and in order to prevent lapses through
informality, we herewith present the
section of the Franchise law of Februa-
ry 25th, 1867, requiring the filing ofan
oath as candidate for office, aud also
4 copy Of the oath prescribed in the
law. The ways of tyranny are many
and devious, The plain high road of
popular liberty is thiclsly skirted with
ambushes. There was time when
men knew their privileges and rights in
every capacity that freemen choose to
act, but now it is necessary to. keep Il
wary eye on pitfalls and contrivances
to cheat them of them of the simplest
elementary rights.
Section ninth Of the Franchise law is
as follows:
BE Il ttWHer enacted, That all candi-
dates for any official position shall, be-
fore the day Of election, be required to
take and subscribe the oath prescribed
in the third section of this act, which,
in case of candidate for II county of
lice shall be filed in the office Of the
County Court Clerk, and for all other
Offices in the Office ofthc Secretary of
State and that Judges of election or
other officers shall reject and make no
rrturn whatever of fine votes cu,, for
any person who has not so taken and
subscribed said oath; and the same
oath shall be taken and subscribed as
an official oath, bv all iudges and clerks
of election, and all Sherins and their
deputy and deputies, in any Of the oih-
ces of the State and county.

Don't Agitate.

This is u deceptive Radical cry
Don't say anything and you'll get
more rights. Don't abuse Brownlow
and his party and they will deal better
by you" Yes Sweet logic! In or
der to scare us into quiet submission
to wrongs, they admit they are mis-
treating us, and threaten to lnistreat us
still more. We say to the Conserva-
wives: "Agitate! Truth loses nothing
by agitation. Crime and error fear in
vestigation. The thief prefers the still
ness of dark midnight when he goes to
plunder your house. OF course they
don't want rs to agitate,-but agitation
is about all that is left us, and we have
grea; faith in good coming Of deter
mined, persevering resistance to
wrongs.

The Nashville Press and Times, in tho
course of late editorial, says: "Let
all good men continue to restore and
re-establish the law in its tull vigor, and
to cast out all revolutionists as the
worst foes Of society and human free
dom"
Now, this is q clever statement OF
just what the Conservatives are trying
to do, but of course the writer did not
intend his remarks should be so appli
ed The Conservatives are cndeayor-
ing to re establish the law in its full
vigor, believing that if they can sue
ceed, we shall be relieved of such out
rageous violations Of law rs the late
murder Of one Of our peaccablo and
unoffending citizens. But the Radicals
are erevolutionists--upturning the foun-
dations fcivil liberty and torturing the
spirit of common law in order to main
tain tyranny not based upon the con
sent of one tenth Of the governed.
