Prospect of "A Reign Of Terror in the South
How to Stop 1t.
The news Of the bloody collision on Saturday
last at Franklin, Tennessee, between Loyal
League Of black radicals and hostile gather
ing of so-called conservatives will have sur
prised no one possessed Of any knowledge OF
the turbulence and fighting propensties which
prevail among the leading politicians and their
followers on both sides throughout the State.
Parson Brownlow and his radical State govern
ment, in their stringent measures of rebel dis
reimbursement rebel disabilities, and punish
ments for rebel offences, in addition to negro
suffrage, and from their ferocious electioneer-
ing system against the so-called conservatives,
as "the blood hounds OF JEFF Davis and "the
dregs of the rebellion" &C., have aroused q cor
responding measure of hatred, wrath and fe-
rocity in the nti-Brownlow opposition party.
The State election, which will embrace a
Governor, Legislature and members of Con-
gress, does not come off till August, and with
five or six weeks more of agitation and tanning
of these combustibles there is a prospect that
election day in Tennessee will be o day Of
terror, bloodshed and confusion throughout
the State
Intelligent men, detailed from this Office, who
have recently canvassed the Southern States
for information touching their material, social
and political situation, report that Tennessee
to-day is by far in the most disorderly, con-
fused and turbulent condition of any Of the
States concerned in the rebellion; and that
Tennessee and Kentucky, of all the late slave
States, are most in need of Congressional re-
construction from top to bottom. The one is
ton as to call for the Intervention of Con-
gress, and the other is so excessively State
rights as TO be nothing better than q chip Of
the old block of the Southern confederacy.
The duty, therefore, devolving upon Con
gress, OF guaranteeing to each State repub
lean form of government" would seem to de-
mand some positive legislation in behalf o.
Tennessee and Kentucky; and, outside of their
borders, we dare say there will be but little
complaint should Congress dovetail them in
| the new bill of Southern reconstruction
Meantime, it will be perceived, from an inham
matory Jacobin speech by a negro doctor o
divinity, the Rev. Lewis Lindsay, at Mudwall
| in Virginia, that the idea Of enforcing socia
equality Is getting into the heads of the South
ern blacks. Their representatives on The
stump have recently, in various places South
been harping on the string of confscation ant
free farms; but in striking that holder note Of en-
forcing negro social equality the Rev. Levi
Lindsay Is touching more emphadcally tn
sanguinary music Of ST. Domingo. In all thes
manifestations from the Southern blacks an
in the opposing spirit Of the whites, we can SEE
only, if LETT to themselves, the gathering ele
ments OF reign Of terror and war OF races
and a war of determination, too, in the South
