never will he again and then, when the

short in that regard, and the thing looks

What They Saw,

The semi-official admission that the
State is unable to meet its Indebtedness,
is cliciting no little comment North,
and good deal of it not at all compli-
mcntary to the party in power. The
New York World for instance has this
to say:
"This is the State which is quoted as
q model of radical reconstruction
Radicalism has reduced the State to
absolute beggary. The Radical Cover
nor. in his alarm lest the people may
take the State from the hands of the
money squanderers at the polls next
November, is trying to organize a mill
tia of twenty thousand strong to con-
troll the ballOt-boxes. How does the
beggar propose to pay his troops? The
treasury is depleted; the State cannot
even pay the interest OH its debts: and
the Governor talks about maintaining a
standing army. Possibly Congress
sional appropriation" will meet the
case, but the taxpayers of the North
will hardly be willing to devote their
money to the support of Brownlow's
black regiments in Tennessee"
That's pretty rough, but we suppose
we will have to submit to it until we
can, under wiser and more beneticent
rule, make better showing. The re-
cent declaration of inability, and a
growing suspicion that large amount
of bonds have been fraudulently issued
and sold, is creating an immense sensa-
ton in financial circles, and threatens the
credit of the State with irreparable loss
and ruin. We hope the Legislature will
probe the whole business to the bottom,
and if any thing worse than mailman.
agement and want of capacity has
brought about the present financial
complications and mbarrassments, lei
it be known-who the really guilty par.
ties are. There is an awful RESPONSE.
bility resting upon the members of the
present General Assembly, which they
cannot shirk or avoid.

A Notable Contrast.

A Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Journal telegraphs that pa
per under date of the I'd inst. as fol-
lows:
"The condition of affairs in Tcnnes-
see has excited much attention here du-
ring the last few days. The President
is understood as saying that if United
States troops are sent there, they will
go under orders TO keep the peace, and
not to aid Brownlow in his war Of en-
termination against white people. The
Republicans say they mean to carry tire
State for Grant if it costs half Il million
Of money and one hundred thousand
troops. Gen. Thomas is in active cor
respondence with the War Department
on the subject. He says the people are
ripe for revolution"
Gen. Thomas never misses an oppor-
tunity of saying an unfavorable word
in regard to the people Of Tennessee.

"The state Guards"

1t is proposed to raise militia force
in Tennessee TO engineer the radical
party safely through the Presidential
canvass, and secure the electoral vote
for Grant and Colfax. In connection
with that proposition, we invite atten-
ton to the following, which we find in
the proceedings of the lower branch of
the General Assembly of the 3D.:

The Political Situation.

The following, (says the New York

political situation:
A party of reckless thieves and law
breakers have forced their way into a
house, gagged its owner, ravished his
wife and are gorging themselves with
plumber.
His neighbors appear with the officers
of the law.
The thieves and law-breakers stand
at all the windows and bellow-"Let
us have peace. We are in possession.
Go away. You are revolutionists.-
You want to stir up civil war. We
own this house de facto. Only rebel
would raise the question de jure. Let
us have peace" F"d A

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.

The fierce and warlikc tone of the
Governors message-its recommends
ton in regard to raising a militia force
to be placed by Legislative enactment
above the law. and based upon an al
legged condition of things in the mid
die and western portion of the State
has conspired to create the belief that
Tennessee was OH the very front and
edge of another terrible conflict, and
called forth some extraordinary steps
to avert the threatened calamity. a
meeting occurred on the 30th, between
the members of the military committee
appointed by the Legislature and scve-
raj ex-Confcderate officers who served
with distinction through the late war,
among whom were Generals NANCY,
CHEATHAM, Brown, and BUsHRoD JOHN
son. An Interchange of views and SEN
timents was had, and an earnest desire
manifested by both parties that peace
should be preserved and the laws be
upheld and faithfully administered
An understanding was arrived at for
another meeting of ex-Conrederatc Off
GERS, to take such formal action as might
be best calculated, in cooperation with
the military committee, to further the
object sought. This last meeting was
held on Saturday, when the following
memorial was drawn up and adopted:
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1868-08-07
Presentation of the Memorial.

AT 9 o'clock y. m. the committee of
officers appointed by the meeting re-
paired to the Capitol to meet the Mill
tary Committee of the Legislature, and
to present the memorial adopted at the
meeting. They were received by the
Committee in the Senate Chamber and
after introductions and SITUATIONS, the
Chairman, Col. PRossER, rose and stated
that they had met together for an OBJ
ject of great importance to the people,
and one in which all should feel a
deep interest. Generals CHEATHAM. Ma
NEY and JOHNSON had been with the
committee on the previous day, and
their interview had inspired the hope
that substantial good would flow from
the present meeting. The committee
was ready TO hear anything that the
gentlemen had to offer.
Gen. JOHN T.. BRowN rose and stated
on behalf of the ex-Confedcrate officers
who had met in this city today, he was
requested to present a memorial, which
he read us above given.
Gen. Brown then said: This was the
unanimous action Of the eX-officers who
had met today. We feel what we have
said. We present il to you in sincerity.
We desire the peace of our State. we
believe that with prudent and judicious
measures strife can be averted, and we
are ready to cooperate with you in any
measures you may adopt to bring about
that result.
Col. PRossER replied, that he accept
ed the memorial for the committee, and
would present it to the Legislature. He
did not know what disposition would
be made of it; but for himself and the
men of their standing and influence had
come forward with an honest and earn
est purpose to sustain the laws and pre-
serve the State from strife. Your in
fluence was great in time of war, and
now that it may be exerted to build up
instead of to destroy, it will be proper
tionably great. None of us who would
not rather see the fertile hills and val
leys of Tennessee shining with the glow
of golden harvests than to see them
torn by the destructive tread of hostile
armies.
Col. PRossER made some further re-
mark. Remarks were also made by
Generals CHEATHAM, QUARLEs, FORREST,
and others, all breathing kindly spirit
and evincing desire on the part Of the
speakers to do all in their power to
avert the dangers which menace the
peace and quiet of the State. What the
Legislature will do remains to be de.
veloped, and its action in the premises
will be awaited with no little anxiety
particularly in those localities said to
be most immincntly threatened.
