We asked an old citizen yesterday
one over whose head more than three
score and ten years have passed, and who
was Union man when many of those
who now pretend to be, were not, wheth-
er he had obtained his certificate of reg
istration. With a sad expression of
countenance and tone he said he had not
and should not apply for one. He said
he had been voting for more than fifty
years in Tennessee, and on more than
one occasion, and during periods of high
excitement, when not more than a score
of men in his county voted as he did, but
he had never been compelled to ask a
paltry officer for permission, or have his
opinions inquired into as a preliminary
step. He was too old, he said, to submit
to indignities ike that lie felt deep
solieitude for the good of his country,
and would give the remnant of his life to
secure for his children such a government
and such freedom as he once had but
with tear in his eye and tremor in his
voice the old man protested that he could
not participate in the mOckery of free
election to which the people of Tennessee
are now condemned

RIOTS AND ruEnR itEmEDx.:

This riots which have occurred in the
last few days at Richmond, Mobile, and
Brownsville in this State, should convey
a warning TO sober and substantial eiti-
zens Of all shades of political belief It
is immaterial what the immediate insti-
CATION may have been in either instance,
or whether violence first commenced on
the part Of blacks OF whites. There is
deeper cause for these disorders, and the
danger to life and property whi5h attends
them, than the violent speeches so likely
to be made at political meetings, and tie
| casual personal trays that may happen at
public gatherings The very foundations
Of society have been broken up, and the
times are wholly out of joint The won
der is not that riots take place under cir
cumstances peculiarly fitted to provoke
them, but that every city and populous
region is not ruled by a surging
mob, bent on rapine and violence.
That such is not the case is due
to the fOrtitude with which the
Southern people bear themselves, and the
forbearance they exhibit under the state
of things they are called to undergo.
Were they to yield to the impulses which
often move men under severe oppres-
sion, such scenes as that at Brownsville
would be ofdaily occurrence Radicalism
has bred a spirit of licentiousness, and is
disseminating it through the land, that il
not speedily brought under wholesome
conservative restraint, will start a chapter
Of horrors to appal the civilized world. II
is teaching its ignorant dupes contempt
for the rights of property and the obliga-
tons of law, and by every appliance,
stimulating animosities, that as surely
as night follows day, will lead to
| destructive collisions 1t has inau-
gurated revolution to put the
worst portion Of the community, OF
both races, in control of public affairs.
The intelligence and moral worth Of So
ciety is being forced from the position il
is entitled to- The better class are sur
rendering their places as leaders of pub
lie opinion in the assemblies of the people
Mountebanks of the vilest type and a
mongrel candille at their beck, are pre-.
dominant In this state of facts, is any
one astonished that there should be riots
Under Radicalism, itself the very genius
of destruction, the country is on the high
road to general anarchy.
Every riot should be lesson to men
who have a stake in the well-being of So
ciety. 1t is a conservative speech that
should ring in the ears of every good
citizen, until it arouses him to make an
effort to stay the career of the political
fanatics who are uprooting institutions,
and playing with their dearest interests,
as reckless gamblers do with dice. The
solid men must regain their control, and
give shape to the new order Of things re-
sulting from the late civil war or prepare
themselves to see wild disorder and ruin
Overspread the country.

BROWNLOW AS CHAPLAIN--HOW
HE MADE 1T PAY.
Editors Union and Dispatch.


Soon after Parson Brownlow entered the
Federal lines, in 1862, he went to Cincin-
natl, where he was lionized, and delivered
several lectures or speeches. To these ad ,
mission fees were charged, and it was said
at the time he realized large sums of money.
At this time Hon. Lewis D. Campbell had
just raised a regiment, and thinking a
fighting parson" would be the right man,
it is understood that he used his influence
with the Governor of Ohio TO have Brown
low appointed Chaplain to his regiment, in
which he succeeded. Brownlow accepted
willingly. But instead of performing the
duties of his position, he made tour of
several of the Northern States-wrote out
and arranged for the publication of his
Book" by which he also realized a large
sum-and never saw his regiment after he
left Cincinnati. At all events he never
preached to it or prayed for it. Yet on his
return he claimed his pay as Chaplain,
and, | suppose, got it. This is my recol-
lection of the facts, and in recent CONVEX
sation with a member of the regiment this
statement is confirmed. These facts Illus
trate phase in your Governors character
which it would be well for your people to
know and reflect upon before voting for
him again. p.

SPEAKING of the political condition in
Tennessee, the New York FIpres8 truthful
ly observes:
There is no doubt that if Tennessee v as
free State, as is Kentucky, every member
of Congress to be elected in August would
be Democrats, as from Kentucky, but to
secure the Radical party, We have these
forced Su;rages:
/. The forcibe government by one-ffth
Of the population of the other four-ffths.
2. A registry, by which the Governor
can have registered, or strike from the reg
istration all, as he will
8. A negro vote.
4. A State standing army, to overawe
both whites and negroes.
1t is of very little use for us to hold up
Republican models for European contem-
plation-as long as we keep up in the heart
of this country-a Government as bad as
any in Turkey, or Persia, or Hindoostan."

LET US HAVE TRUTH.

From the hnoSYllle Commercial, May Il.
Col. Baxter, in his articles, claims to
have procured BrownloW passes and la
bored for his release Brownlow, in his
issue of the 18th on this question, has the
following:
/ have before heard of your claiming
the credit of my release, and charging me
with ingratitude. This opens the way for
the whole truth to come out. ! had laid

January, and was about to hang under your
management of the case for You had no
substantial influence with either party
Still confined and guarded, the last week
in February, Capt. Monserat, who had me
in charge, came to ne and exhibited tel
egram from the Rebel Gen. Winder, order
ing me to be taken forthwith to Richmond
Joseph A. Mabry, who had influence at
Richmond, came TO me and offered to dis
patch in my favor, demanding that | be
sent out by railroad and received an an
swer directing it to be done; and accord

Vile
The idea of your perfect storm of iadig-
nation among the eight or ten thousand
Confederate soldiery" does not correspond
with your idea that | was for the Rebel
cause. The storm ought to have been ex-
cited against Col. Mabry.
Without any remarks on the above we
submit the following which will enable the
public to draw their own conclusion. We
clipped it from the Knoxville Register of
January 9th, 1862. The article is series
of complaints because of Brownlow's re-
lease:
From the Richmond Examiner, Jan /.
THE BRowNLow AFFAIR.
KNOXVILLE, East Tennessee, Dec q,
lS6l.-T6 the Editor Of the Examiner In
the Commissioners Court, on yesterday,
after some minor cases were disposed Of,
the District Attorney, at the instance of
Judge Reynolds, took up the case of w. G.
Brownlow, and read a long letter from Mr..
Benjamin, Of the War Department, the gist
of which is, that the department had acted
in the case upon representations made by
Mr.. John Baxter, and that il would restore
Mr.. Brownlow to liberty with permission
TO remove from the State, and that if harm
came upon him from the arrest, the Presi-
dent would interpose in his behalf2
And now, with the recollections of the
bloody threats against our lives aud our
property-with Brownlow's paper open
before Us, and the charred timbers of the
doomed bridges streaming in our nostrils
comes an order from the War Depart
ment, at The instance Of John Baxter, TO al
low W. G. Brownlow military escort from
the State 1t is impossible for me to por-
tray the universal feeling of indignation
that pervades this whole community. 1t
is not confined to Southern men, bat even
the semi-Lincolnites, who, through fear or
a real feeling, had begun to speak fayora-
bly, Of "olsr Southern army" and "Or
struggle for Southern independence.
The above letter was written from Knox
vile and published in Richmond Ii APP
pears that at that time Mr.. Baxter was Sc
verely censured for aiding Brownlow.
