The Nashville Press and Times in
dulges in e~xtravagant editorials of what
it calls ''the popular enthusiasm fol
Brownlow." Poor fool, don't he know
that there was about 10000 citizens
who were not allowed to vote at the
election? Fourteen whole counties
were DISTINGUISHED, besides all the citi-
zens over the State who were not al.
lowed to vote under the franchise law.

REGISTRATION AT YANKEE JIM.-By let
ter from Yankee Jim we learn thct the
Clerk Of election there, Mr.. Jamison, is en-
rolling names Of voters by only writing the
initial letter of the given name. This is
wrong, without the voter so gives ii iu. 1t
is the duty Of an officer Of election TO enroll
the name as it is given by the voter himself,
and the voter should be careful to give it as
it is entered on the Great Register. No Of.
ficer has a right to decide how voter shall
enroll his name, it is exercising arbitrary
power, which the officer has no right to do.
If the voter has bis name entered wrong it
is his own fault, and alone is the sufferer,
but if the officer enters it wrong, after the
instruction Of the voter, the officer can be
held responsible for his act

"Chaste as the icicc,

his whole party who can clearly demonstrate
that negro suffrage and equality is what the
people want, and will elevate white men one
particle-that Chinese labor will enrich the
State, and will benefit the poor white labor

Tweed at Colfax.

1t is a fact well known that certain .relic-
Ious orders, for the purpose Of restraining
pride, ambition, and other worldly passions
have resorted to self inflicted Aagelations,
and to peuances Of the most humiliating
kind, that they might acquire the virtues of
meekness and humility, 10 imitation Of their
divine exemplar. This We can we'll under
stand, whether we believe or not that the
end is accomplished. Dickens has given 10

giant and ovsfbearing to degree, this too
We can understand, for We daily see men
"bend'ng The pregnant hinges OF the knee
that thrift may follow fawuing." But We are
wholly non-pusssd when We see gentlemen
in our own county, Of high social position,
whose accomplished daughters and iutsIli.
gent sons are the peers Of any and Of all,
in community wholly composed Of white
men aad women, themselves aspiring to po-
sitions Of honor and OF trust, and capable
worthily Of filling them, deliberately giving
utterance 10 sentiment so degrading to his
race, as the following, from Col. Tweed's
speech, recently delivered at Coifax. lie
said
The negro was the savior Of the country,
and should be allowed to vote and hold Of
fee, from Constable up to President Of the
United States; and in bis estimation the
negro wanted no elevation to make him
equal to the best Of our American citizens!'
We say that we cannot understand this
If the Colonel had negro constituency
whom he would proptiate we would not he
at loss to comprehend why man who has
no sympathy with the white race, and who
would hold power by lerelling dorm should
so insult those who paid him the compliment
to hear bis speech, in which he not only said
what we quote above, but labored two NOR.
tai hours in an endeavor, frui,less we trust,
to convince his audience that be was right.
But the Colonel has no such contitueucy!-
What then can be his motive in advocating
such political heresies here? We can only
suppose that the hostility of his party to the
white man has driven hin, from its support.
and that by removing the natural prejudice
of caste the door may be more effsctually
opened for Chinese equality here, and thus
they hope to recover the ascendancy they
have lost. We call not this folly or iufatu,
alton, it is down right madness. Shall the
white man be asked to bring himself down
10 the level Of Chinese and Neyroesl The
very suggestion is an insult to him. 1t can
not be done in this way, you can only ac'
complish it by an abuse Of power by yo1r
Rump Congress. Make US few more Col.
