e. GROUNDS so TRIVIAL AS THE
FRANCHISE LAW

These words occur in an article in the
Press and Times of yesterday, the point
of which is that Mr. Etheridge in offering
to decline the candidacy for Governor, if
the State administration would repeal the
| franchise law before the August election,
virtually retracts his terrific bill of in
| dictment against it. This is as far fetched
conceit as can possibly be imagined
How can Mr. Etheridge's Willingness to
forego his personal aspirations for the
purpose of securing free suffrage to his
| fellow-citizens, be tortured into a
willingness to acquiesce in the rule of
the vile oligarchy that robbed thes
| of it? or be construed as a withdrawal of
his denuncatiOns against them? He
wants the people invested with the
ballot for the express purpose of enabling
them to thrust from office the men who
have oppressed them. That Brownlow
has been one Of these, is very true; and
that Mr. Etheridge would deprecate his
re election is certain But in his pro-
position, Mr. Etheridge only intended to
attest his sincere devotion to the principle
for which he was contending, regardless
of men whether good or bad Whenthis
people regain their full privileges as eiti-
zens, RrnwnInw may fill the office 0fGoy.
ernor, (which Heaven fOrefend, } but he
cannot then, nor could any man, play
again the fantastic tricks" that have
marked the last two years. Mr.. Ether
idge may be willing to undergo the NOR
tifcation of Brownlow's governorship for
two years more, in order to secure the
means of extracting his fangs, and ex-
terminating the balance of the genus en-
tirely; but the Press and Times may rest
assured that he did not intend to forget
his wickedness. That record is burned
and branded upon the hearts of Tennes-
scans 1t is not retractable by the au-
thority of any man. 1t is part of the
history Of the times 1t lives, and
breathes, and has monstrous being to
day. When grounds so trivial as the
franchise Law" are swept from under it.
it will fall For that boon, any remnant
of Brownlowism, whether head or tail,
left to remind us of the thing, would be
great concession; but it is Mr. Etheridge's
opinion that it might be made to the
general advantage .

STOKES, COMPETITION

A dispatch from Tullahoma to the
Chattanooga Union, dated the 4th inst
says in relation to the convention at
McMinnville
Capt. f. G. Fleming viii make the race
against Stokes; all otEer aspirants will
support him; no nomination was made by
the convention. All satisfied with Fleming.
The Union says eve understand that
Capt Fleming is a Radical of the Horace
Greeley order, believing in universal
amnesty and impartial suffrage, and not
Of the Brownlow stamp. We have also
been informed that as an officer of the 9TH
Tennessee Cavalry, be had occasion to
shoot Col Stokes at the battle of Stone
River, and when he commences the cam-
paign we may expect some interesting
developments of Col Stokes military

A NOBLE PAIR OF SISTERS.

Missouri and Tennessee have won
equal infanY through their respective
State administrations under Radical
rule. At one time the Fletcher of Mis-
souri, was ahead of Brownlow, in the i'm
prisonment of ministers for preaching the
Gospel. He also led in the militia bust
ness, but the Missouri militia bandits
were squelched by Gen Grant, and the
ministers were told to go on with their
preaching by the United States Supreme
Court He was thus set back" and
could claim no advantages over the Brown
low and the Fletcher of Tennessee. Our
Governors now have " the call +" We
have our militia bandits--and we can
impeach our Judges. In the matter Of
franchise there is a stand off But Mis-
souri, makes brush on the impeachment
stretch and we are gratified to say, falls
behind 1t was, however, nip and
tuck" and Tennessee only wins by a
neck The impeachments stake presents
a remarkable coincidence Judge King
was impeached by the Missouri House
just as Judge Frazier was by ours. The
trials before the Senates of the two States,
began On the same day-they were con-
cluded On the same day-and both the i'm
peached judges were cGnVicted-because
they were pure, upright, Conscientious
! friend of public liberty. In this it was a
dead heat But Judge King had brother
| sitting as a Senator in the Missouri Court
of Impeachment, and the fools Of the
Court did not expel him as incompetent
| He held his scat without objection, and
sat throughout as a member of the Court
Herein Tennessee got the advantage in
infamy, for we expelled Judge Frazier 5
brother-and violated the Constitution
and our oaths to do it This, by all radi
cal rnles of interpretion, places Tennes-
see at the head of the list; aad we are
to-day without a successful rival in the
race of atrocious tyranny

A highly respectable gentleman, whom

of their best candidates for nomination to
official positions, but who is interested in
the material prosperity of the State, and
consequently a conservative, sends us the

THE PROSPECT.

We have had opportunities in the last
few days, Of obtaining thoroughly reha-
BILE intelligence from various portions of
the State in regard to the condition Of
political affairs, and it is Of a highly
gratifying character The people are
becoming thoroughly aroused. The in
telligence and soberness Of the State is
beginning to exert its influence, Thd
enormities Of the Brownlow administDa-
ton have condemned il, and there is
ground for strong hope that in spite of
franchise restrictions and the terrorism
of it's militia, it will be expelled from
power
This brief paragraph is not written
lightly, or without warrant, or for the
purpose of exciting expectations that do
not promise fairly to be realized. Ii Is
done to give to our friends the facts as
they reach US from trustworthy sources
and for the purpose of stimulating them
to active exertion. The reaction has
commenced Proper effort viii secure
the contamination of our hopes.

THE LAw-AssERT AND STAND BY

la h-AS9kRA hAND ~ a 4
II.
There is an unrepealed law in Ten
nessee against assault and battery,
against theft, against rape, against rob
berry, against murder, and against other
crimes affecting the citizens and the body
polite Whoever violates these laws are
subject to arrest and punishment by the
civil authorities 1t is the duty of the
chosen aud appointed officers Of the law,
the constables and sheriffs, the magis-
trates and judges, upon the sworn cons
plant of any citizen, to issue and exc
cute the process Of law, 20 arrest, keep,
and upon conviction, punish wrOng-doers
There is no man in the State above these
laws, and who is not amenable 20 them
If his Excellency, Gov Brownlow, should
commit a wanton assault upon any per-
son, a resident Of Tennessee living I'M
der our laws and obeying them, he would
be subject, not outstanding his Office, to
arrest and trial; and, if convicted, to the
punishment fixed by law for that crime.
So he would be in every ether cause of a
violation Of the established law Neither
civil nor military position will exempt a
man from his responsibility to law, or
screen him from the penalties of its VIC.
lation. Any citizen, white or black, male
or female, whose rights under the law
have been infringed, has his remedy at
law. Any other rule would convert the
citizen into the yeriest slave, whose tenure
Of right would depend upon the will of
some power above the law.
These premises none will deny, for they
constitute the basis and essence of Re-
publican government Now, by the writ
ten confession of Capt j K. Cingan, he
was guilty Of an assault upon an old man
at Brownsville, few days ago, which we
are unable to find any law to justify.
Like any other person he is liable to ar
rest and trial by the civil authorities, be-
sides an Gction for damages to the party
aggrieved. The men of Ricknans COM
mand, who murdered James Brown, in
Franklin county, on the 18th ult, are
each and all liable to arrest and punish
ment, the same as any other persons in
the like category Neither the law of
their military existence, nor any order or
command they may receive from Brown
low, can exempt them from this response
bility, or raise them above the law
1t is the duty Of those who have been,
or may hereafter be outraged by this
band of Estate Guards, this lawful gang
of militia, to apply to the civil authorities
for redress and protection, in the manner
prescribed by law This is the begin
ming corner for relief from the atrocities
of these bandits The law provides the
manner in which arrests are to be made
and if there be resistance, the whole
power Of the State, if necessary, is at the
command of the officers of the law If
BrowulOw and his miniOns shall choose
to rebsA agAinst tho Law, unnn them he
the responsibility and the consequences.
This is our deliberate conviction, after
mature reflection and we advise the
people to act accordingly. Let no case of
violated law 60 unnoticed, especially
when this body of bandits, the militia,
are the offenders We repeat, assert and
stand by the talo.

At West entrance and all along the
Straits, natives came to the side OF the
vessel in their canoes almost in a naked
state, clamorous for tobacco and fire water,
| offering q few skins, etc, in exchange.
They are becoming very bold and numer-
