MORE MISREPRESENTATION The Argus is
improving. When driven to the wall it will
retract, but it still does so with a bad grace
Having been forced to abandon its claim Of
great Democratic gains in the West it makes
its last stand on the defeat of negro suffrage
in Michigan. Now we have never asserted
that negro suffrage agas not defeated in Mchi
gan. What we did say was that it was not de-
feated by $4,000 majority, and that so far was
this from being the case that il the franchise
clause had been submitted alone, ii is doubtful
what the result would have been. This view
OF ths case is amply sustained by late advices
from Michigan-later than the extracts pull
1ished by the Argus from papers printed weeks
ago, the Independent among the rest. The
following letter from Lansing TO Theodore Til
ton has appeared in more recent number
from which the Argus profess TO quote.
Let me assure you that our Constitution
was not defeated by the enemies Of equal sui
frage. MuilitHde5 voted against it Tor other
reasons Some were Indignant with wretch

Some preferred 10 keep The old Constitution
rather than trust the liquor question unde
the new. Thousands had the mistaken idea
that 1t made salaries too hIgh aud many
tetred that the expenses OF the State woul
NC iuitouSlg INCREASED. VI course every De
SOiIed negro-hGter voted no; but they are no
in a majority. The battle was not lost by mum

Row TO ALLAY PANIC N PUBLIC ASSEM-
BLIEs.-A curious statement has been made
by an eminent physician, and supported by
the experience of a city organist, that pan cs
in public assemblies can be easily controlled
by the playing of some grand march upon he
organ if in a church, or by the orchestra if il
theatre, thus soothing the excited imagina
ton, aud giving the other faculties time to col.
lect their energies and assert their power over
the body.

The Copdition Of Tennessee.

Governor BrownlOw has issued conditional
call for troops to keep the peace in the peace
shall happen to be broken and to put down a
new rebellion If anybody can get one up. He
says, 81 call upon the good loyal and patriotic
white and colored people Of every county in
the State to proceed without delay and raise
companies of loyal, able-bodied men," and
further, whether any of the companies so
formed will ever be called into actual service
twill depend entirely upon the conduct of the
people in the several counties" He prefers
that 'these troops shall be raised in East Ten
nessee," where the people are mostly of one
way of thinking politically. The point Of
Brownlow's proclamation, therefore, is that he
wishes the men of his party to have an organi-
cation more or less military in character, and
gives them a fair pretext for forming them
selves into companies and regiments and drill
ing, by declaring that he fears for the public
peace, though he does not see that it is in
immediate danger. The man who thus delibe-
rately prepares for a public disturbance under
pretenoe of an effort to prevent it can never
be at loss for occasion to use his troops as
his temper may direct when they are once
ready.
Brownow himself is the real source of trou-
than others of the Southern States il is be-
cause Brownlow has made il so. No doubt
there is strong secesh element there, aud
thereis quite as little doubt that the vaporings
of Wade Hampton and the attitude of the Sey-
mour party have encouraged the old rebel
element with the notion that their day had
come again. But there are the same reasons
for uneasness in every State that was in the
confederacy, and we hear only from Tennessee
of any necessity to enroll troops. The reason
of this difference is that other States are gov
ernej more OF less discreetly by men who
make some allowance for the passions, even
the vanities, of human nature, and look upon
IL as idle folly to attempt to gag even offensive
bravado. Tennessee is the only State that is
in the hands of born swsggerer and bully-a
man who has no conception and no care that
the surest way to cultivate disturbance is to be
always defying il, to be always Extensively rri-
Eating those from whom II may come and to
desire nothing so much as 10 crowd pride into
the last possible corner.
From the account of our correspondent trav-
| citing through parts of Tennessee that have the
| worst name in the mouth of radical censure we
are satisfied that the State is in condition
that would insure quiet and complete ODE
dience to law on the part the people If il were
law that the authorities endeavored to admin
lister, and not political passion and private
hate. In any community and in any time there
are always lazy men, discontinued men, fellows
generally at war with society. Just now these
fellows in Tennessee take to the political dodge,
and, rushing to Nashville or other centres re-
y port themselves az victims Of Ku Klux 0utrAges
