Interesting RunlOr.

The Hartsville Vidette of June IL,
says:
In view of the fact that the Supreme
Court will decide the franchise law I'M
constitutional, it is now rumored that
Brownlow's Legislature will hasten to
repeal the odious measure.
We are afraid "Brownlow's Legisla-
ture" is incapable of doing anything OF
the sort, though we believe the Govern
or himself is beginning to see things in
different light from what he did some
time ago.

average wheat crop. In some locali-

restoration of constitutional govern

that we should make this contest under
the lead of one who has given his life
to the maintenance of constitutional
government. (Checrs.) .....-
We make this contest for the restora-
ton OF principles of government which
belong to our race. and, my lellew citi-
Zens, it is most proper we should select
our leader not from the military, but
one who has devoted himself to civil
pursuits, and who has given himself to
the study of the understanding CT our
Constitution and its maintenance with
all the force Of reason and judgment.

scmi-barbarous race. (Applause.) In
this contest we shall have the sympathy
