GEN. RLAIRs' SPEECH.

The following is the speech made
by Blair last evening in reply to Gen.
Morgan:
I accept the platform and resolu-
tions passed by the late Democratic
Convention AMI accept their nomi-
nation with feelings OF the most pro-
found gratitude, And, sir, thank
you for the very kind manner in
which you have conveyed to me the
decision of the convention. Tacccpt
the nomination with the feeling that
your nomination for the Presidency
Is one which will carry us. to certain
victory [applausel, and because l be-
lieve that nomination is the most ap-
propriate that could bc made by the
Democratic party.
The contest that we wage is for tho
restoration of constitutional govern
ment [cheersl and it Is appropriate
that we should make the contest under
the lead of otte who has given his life to
the maintenance. of constitutional
government. IChCers.] We make
the contest for the restoration of the
principles Of the Government which
belong to our race, and, my fellow
have for our leader-not one from the
military but one who has devoted
himself to civil pursuits given him to
the study of the understanding of our
Constitution and it's maintainencc
with all the force of reason and judg-
ment.
My fellow citizens, ! have said the
contest before us was one for the res
fnp Of AZ IL,
also for the restoration of our race
Loud cheers 1t Is to prevent the
people of one race being excluded
Government which they formed and
created for themselves and for their
children, and to prevent tliem from
being driven out In exile; or trodden
under the foot of some babarous race.
Applause. In this contest we shall
have the. sympathy Of every man
who Is worthy of belonging to the
white race. What civilized people
on earth would refuse to associate with
themselves, in all the rights and hon

THE CONTEsTED ELECTION.
Extraordinary Decision Of ChanccI-
Tor Steeie-All Tennessee 00jcers,
from the Governor Down. red
10 be Holding Office Illegally.

We place before our readers, this
morning, the following interesting
resume of the decision of Chancellor
Steele, in the contested election case
in the Seventh Chancery Division
The decision Is certainly eXtraordi-
nary, coming from a radical Judge /!
THERE WAS VACANCY.
1t was alleged and earnestly and
ably argued, that there was no va
cancy In the office of Chancellor at
the time the election was ordered and
held, and that, as n. consequence,
Judge Barry Was still Chancellor.
Judge Steele discusses this allegation
at great legth, and concludes thus /:
at results, therefore, that the Gov
ernor has.no power to appoint any
judicial officer for cOnstitufiondttcrIl
but only until such time as n success
sor shall be elected or appointed and
qualified. But the time When sue
cessor may be elected; the Governor
may determine.n
THE FRANCHISE LAW AND STATE dov-
ERNMENT.
1t was argued that the franchise
law is unconstitutional and void; and
indeed, that the superstructure Of the
whole State government rested upon
an Illegal foundation. The opinion
says: "I regard this argument as
essentially unsound when brought to
n pratical bearing in this case. The
principal ground relied on was that
4 g A "A
thorized body, and no powertO amend
the Constitution, or establish q gov
crnment, and consequently the L6gis-
lature that assembled by the authori-
ty of that Constitution, and under
the amended Constitution, had no
authority to pass the franchise law
The logical and Inevitable conclusion
following upon this Is, that there Is
no government IN the state at ALL
The contestant Judge Barry has no
right TO the Office of Chancellor, nor
TO make this contest for whatever
right he has here Is deprived iiOm
this illegal and unconstitutional
source. And IL would be the bounden
duty of this Court TO dismiss his I<1l-
tion, OILY that the Court itself derives
its authority from the same source,
and must retire from its position for
the want Of any power to act In the
premises ~
WHERE WAS THE SOVEREIGNTY or
THE STATE DURING THE WAR.
The learned counsel asks where the
sovereignty of the State was during
the war? The answer Is that II attcinp-
ted to assert itssoygreignty against the
greater sovereignty of the Govern
ment of the United States, was taken
prisoner, and was paroled with liber-
ty to make soine New rifles for its
future government, which was done
in january, 1865, and which rules
were approved by It's captor, and then
was restored its former liberty.
THE hLEcTIoN WAS NOT HELD Ac-
CoRDING 10 LAW,
Titre were soItie thirty five civil
districts in which the polls were not
opened. An election thus held is not
according TO law. This II the juilg.
