Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1868-01-17

The additional reconstruction bill
now under consideration, will place
Gen. Grant in a position where his
silence will not avail him.. His acts
will speak, and they will prove him
to be either democrat and patriot,
or Radical and a .despot. We hope
however, that as the constitution de-
signates the President as Commander
n-Chief, Mr.. johnson will not con
sent to be superseded by a subordi-
nate, at the bidding of Congress, and
that, if the bill be passed, he will, at
once, testthe constitutionality OF the
measure, and should the Supreme
Court sanction the frightfdl usurpa.
ton there will no longer be doubt
that there exists purpose and a
combination to establish a Radical mil
itary despotism over the whole PEG.
pie. The reconstruction of the South
is the prctext, and the power about
to be conferred upon Grant is the
first step towards bringing the army
into the interests Of Congress and
then will commence the repetition Of
the history Of the times Of Oliver
Cromwell.

The Judge admitted that there was great
deal Of force in the argument advanced by
Che counsel for the old corporation, that when
private rights were vested by the forma-
ton of public corporations, the Legisla-
ture had no right tosnterfere with them, al
though he admitted the power OF the Legis-
lature to control Municipal elections but he
held that this question could not possibly
come up in this case.
There was a part Of the bill, that which
alleged the pecuniary interest of the plaintiff
in the city and his fear that an irreparble in
Jury would be done him by the seizsure by
this illegally elected Board, of the City Gov
eminent, but the danger was so remote, that
even the long arm of Court of Equity
could not be interposed in his defense. A
Court of Equity could not interfere when
the danger was so remote. The Judge also
was of the opinion that corporator of the
city must be an inhabitant Of the city. The
remedy for the evil complained of, and the
true way to test the consttutionalty of these
laws was to allow this illegally elected set OF
officers to go forward and be qualified; and
upon their first official act, the old Board be.
ing legally the corporation, would have the
right to sue them in the name Of the corpor-
alton, or any individual property holder,
whose property might be taxed, would have
ground of action against the tax collector
In like manner, any citizen unjustly de-
prived Of the right to vote might bring an
action. But under the view of the case
which he took the application for an injunc-
ton must be denied.
The illegally elected Board have thus
! gained a barren victory They may 90 on
and be sworn in and take possession of the
offices, but they will find it diflicult to exer-
else their functions. Their. victory in this
suit reminded one of the leading lawyers al
this bar of an incident which happened in
one of the mountain counties of North Car.
DINA in the days before the whipping post
and the pillory were abolished. A certain
mountaincer had been guilty Of some offense
and went up to court for trial. Upon his
return neighbor asked how he came out.
"Well', said he, 81 came out frstrate Thea
gaze me thirty nine ldshes, and came ouI
clear"
The whole course of Tennessee legislation
for the past two years will soon be brought to
test, and we can have no doubt OF the re-
result, in view of previous decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States. We
hope that the redemption of Tennessee is
not far distant.

night furnished severally to the President,
Gen. Grant and Mr.. Stanton by the Secre-
tary of the Senate. Gen. Grant and Mr.
Stanton had conference a short time after

peared at the War Department and imme-
ately after resumed his functions as chief of
that department. Gen. Grant was not pre-
sent at the time, being at his headquarters,
just opposite, but shortly afterward went to

THE FRANCHISE LAW.
JUDGE TRIGG DECIDES 1T TO BE UN.
CONVENTIONAL.

From the Knoxville Press and Herald, 10th.
About two p. NJ. yesterday the Courthouse
bell rang Announcing That Judge Trigg had
arrived at decision upon the bill of injunc-
ton against tho rontending corporate au-
thorities of this city, which we published on
Thursday. The Courthouse was crowded
when the Judge delivered his opinion,
which was an oral one. He commenced by
remarklng upon the duty OF all citizens to
abide by all laws, and to submit to them until
they were adiudicated by the courts of tie
country. The Legislature had the power to
enac, such laws as il saw fit, and the citizens
should obey them until pronounced uncon-
stiturional by the courts. lie then proceeded
to review the allegations contained in the
bill. FIRST, in regard TO the franchise law,
the Judge declared that in his opinion, upon
the passage of the first franchise law, in 1865,
the Leg Stature had exhausted the power
conferred upon them by the amended sched-
ule. and although he was constrained to abide
by the decision Of the Supreme Court Of this
State, until 1t was reversed by the Supreme
Court of the United States, he was of the
opinion that the second franchise law was
unconstitutional. The third law, however,
and that under which the election was held,
he declares 10 he utterly null and void, and
not worth the paper upon which it was writ
ten, and he WAS willing TO declare SO from
the bench. The Judge alluded to the other
legislation by which the Governor was in
vested with the power Of appointing Com
missioners Of Registration and OF disfran-
chsing whole counties ms most unconstitu-
tional aud comforting greater than kingly
mower upon Brownlow; for the Queen OF
England has no power TO decide who shall
vote in an election.
lie declared that, in his view, the whole
election wa, illegal aud void and the laws
in accordance with which II was conducted
were plainly unconstitutional, but was OF

the matter. The true md proper remedy

GENERAL HANCOCK AND THE KEN.
TUCKIANS.

We are indebted to our young friend Bon
WOODBRIDGE, of the house of Short & Co.,
who is Just from New Orleans for the fol-
lowing information. A very interesting in
tervew was had on the 18th inst, between
General Hancock, and large delegation
from Kentucky on a visit to New Orleans,
by invitation of the Jackson railroad. The
delegation embraced several of the most
prominent citizens of Kentucky, among
whom were Gov Charles Andersen, Mr..
Flournoy, President Of the Paducah railroad,
Mr.. Saurier, Mayor of Paducah, Mr. Quigley,
Messrs. Woolford and others. The delegates
were accompanied and introduced by Mr..
Walker, of the New Orleans Times. Gen.
Hancock Immediately opened his doors and
received with great cordially the warm
hearted Kentuckians, and having shaken
hands with all, Gov. Anderson addressed
him in one of the neastest, most tasteful and
eloquent little speeches. we ever had the
pleasure of listening to.
As distinguished soldier of the war, the
brother of Gen. Robt. Anderson, the first
hero of the war, on the Union side, as Gov
ernor of Ohio whilst the war still prevailed,
the remarks of Governor Anderson compli-
mentary to Gen. Hancock upon his mag
unanimous course, his devotion to Justice to
d, hA ri,
authority; his touching allpsions to the
misfortunes and distress of the people, the
desolation of the country and the vast re-
suits which depend upon the abandonment
of policy adverse to persecution and op
preston, and the resumption of the reign Of
peace charity, freedom and the constitution,
were in the highest degree impressive, ear
nest and eloquent No report could do JUS
tice to this beautiful little address.
The reply Of Gen. Hancock was marked
by bis characteristic modesty and good taste,
claiming no special merit for the discharge
Of his duties in accordance with his convic-
tons and his feelings in an Office which he
never desired and indeed would have decln-
ed, If he could have done so without an ap-
pearance of evadng duty. He was graft
fed to find his course approved by SO respect
able body of citizens. Al his experience
and instincts were opposed to the continu
ance, or enforcement Of military law over
the people of this country-and he regarded
it as his first duty, and it happened to be q
necessity of his position, to remit to the civil
authorities the conduct Of the Government
rs far as the 10 of Congress permitted it,
He should continue in this course until SUI
perseded, without being disturbed by the
cenares or reproaches it might bring or
him, satisfied that in the end it would CON-
mand the approval Of his countrymcn and o
mankind. With n Few other remarks com
plimentary to Kentucky aud Kentuckians
the General again shook hands with the del
egatcs and after some agreeable conversation
with various old acquaintance in the dele.
