name again and again, until terrified by
the sepulchral echoes that resounded
through the blackness.
This is the true statement of the
fact. Whether it will be credited is
more than can say. l am fully

is my reply. When | left the cave, |

an important one, and resolved to Sc
cure the benefits of it; so | kept the
matter quiet until my designs should

sealed. 1t is made to George Temple,

Arrangements for Preserving Peace
During the Eleotion-All Fears
of Riot Observation-Disclosures
at Kingston-The Particulars.

NASHVILLE, July 3l.-Arrangements
for the preservation of peace tomorrow
were completed to-day by organizing
three hundred special policemen and
assigning them to duty. Col. Duncan
will have command of the military, both
regulars and militia. He was present at
the installation Of the special police and
made short speech, pledging cooper
alton with them in the discharge Of
their duties. Apprehensions of riot
are generally quieted, yet within the past
three days many firearms have been
sold.
The Herald's Knoxville special says
that during the speaking by Etheridge
and Williams, some negroes and Radi-
calls interrupted the meeting when a riot
ensued. One man was shot.
The Nashville papers give the partic-
ulars of a riot at Purdy, McNairy county,
last Saturday. While colored man
was speaking at a Union League flag
raising, an insulting remark was made
by some one in the crowd, whereupon a
general ARRAY ensued. The sheriff was
MORALLY and Sergeant Harkey badly
wounded. Three citizens we're acct
dentally shot.

Future Of the southern states

Commenting on the condition of af-
fairs in Tennessee, an exchange says:
Now, we can conceive of no greater
calamity than the multiplication of
Tennessees as members of the American
Union. OF the whole South, Tennessee
is beyond doubt the part in which the
least has been done towards genuine re-
construction. II is nominally loyal, of
course. II is represented in Congress.
It is not included in the region over
which the provisions of the military gov
eminent acts extend. And yet what is
its condition Essentially volcanic.
Loyal strength is the result not Of loyal
votes but Of rebel Acknowledgement.
Brownlows authority is contingent
upon the application of the crush
ing process to the majority of the
people. He is absolute in his sphere
as any of the military commanders in
theirs, and infinitely more inscriptions.
He makes laws to suit his purpose. He
interprets laws according TO the dictates
Of bis convenience. lie tightens the
DISTINGUISHING screw as often as he finds
it necessary, and employs the bayonet
when no less pungent weapon will carry
his point. The result is that the State
he governs approaches nearer and nearer
TO anarchy. Nowhere on the continent
save in hapless Mexico, is life or property
less secure, or liberty more transparent
mockery. A condition of civil war
really exists all the time-smothered it
may be, hut liable at any moment to
burst forth under the excitement Of some
sudden difficulty"
Tennessee is IN precisely the condi.

every one OF the ten States of the
South now unrepresented in the govern

zens are DISTINGUISHED all the blacks
vote. The government is in possession
Of a minority Of the whites. The mi
nority has direct interest in p" tighten
ing the DISTINGUISHING screw on the
whites, for it is by this means only that
they can retain power. The Represen'
iatives Of Tennessee were admitted TO
Congress because Tennessee had come

ray The worthy and manly editor OF
the Charleston Miss TdllGhatchidn, in
an able article discussing the question OF
convention or no convention, for the pur-
pose Of Reconstruction in that State, says;
If the people of Mississippi should vote
to have the convention, or ifthe conven.
ton is forced upon US by other means,
then we must elect as members to 1t
negroes, or, what is worse, white men for
whom we have less respect than we have
for the negro. What good, think you,
could betide our already degraded State
from such convention. Nay, verify,
give US a General Ord to rule us for a
century to come, rather than barber
pole convention for one day even. We
are asked to make voluntary and willing,
but shamefully degrading, compromises
of principles, and humiliating conces-
sions; all for the pitiable boon of pos
sessing for our State government Of our
own, which common humanity shudders
to contemplate.
1t is not our province to advise in Mis-
sissippi matters But ifthey are to gain
anything by reconstruction on the Radi-
cal plan it is what we are unable to see.
We have tried it ia Tennessee, and it is
only few vampires among the whites
who are satisfied with the experiment
All the rest Except the blacks, who are
ignorant and have yet to learn wisdom
by experience) are dissatisfied, disguised
and downcast Devils lick their lips
over reconstruction as we have it.

such a majority as may defeat all posi-
biliiy of Radical advantage by any pre-
tense of a falling off in tho Conserva'

there is no doubt of the result. The
