and such force shall be paid as prOyidedin
This SCI for the paymeat of county guards
or police, a. the case may be.
As if this were not authority enough
to meet any emergency, the Legislature
passed an act on the 10th of March, 1868,
in which power was conferred upon the
Governor ts ~
Section l. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly Of theS of Tennessee, That
the Governor be, and he is, authorized and
empowered to organize. equip and call into
active service, volunteer force, to be known
as the Tennessee State Guard, /" to be COM
posed of one or more regiments from each
Congressional district of the State; pro-
yided always that said Tennessee State
Guard shall be composed of loyal men, who
shall take and subscribe TO the cath, pre-
scribed in the franchise act, passed Februs-
~ 18th, 1867. -..4
Here is as full and complete authority
to repress turbulence and violence Of
whatever character as the Governor
could ask. He has here placed at his
disposal all the power necessary to pre-
serve the peace and protect the lives and
property Of the citizens. Why then has
he been strangely silent and as strangely
reluctant to comply with the provisions
of the law" il, as he says. large numbers
of men have been violating the laws Of
the State and plotting and planning mis-"
chief in every respect2' Why has he
failed to exercise the power specially con
ierred upon him b meet just such an
emergency as he says exists in portions
of Middle and West Tennessee The
Sheriffs are not the only official persons
who have been remiss in duty, if the peace
has been disturbed and the law sde-
fed Why, with this full and ample
power already conferred upon him, has
the Governor called the Legislature
together, at time when the people are
grOaning under the heavy taxes imposed
upon them So far as the enforce
ment Of the laws and the preserva>
ton of the peace are concerned,
there is absolutely no necessity
whatever for an extra session of the
Legislature, if the Governor and the
other civil Offices of the State would dis.
charge the duty imposed upon them by
existing laws. Let it be borne in mind
that SO far there has not been an effort
made by the Governor or any other civil
officer to arrest and bring to trial the
law-breakers he says are to be found in
such large numbers in Middle Tennes-
see. This is formidable Indictment,
but for the truth Of what is here alleged,
we point to the records of the courts in
various counties. There will be found The
proof to burn and blister the man charged
with the execution of the laws of Tennes-
see There is no cause for the exercise
of the special authority conferred upon
him, or he has ingloriously shirked that
duty, and now seeks to cover up his
shortcomings by throwing upon the
Legislature the responsibility of involv~
ing the State in war.

rERRIRLE coal OIL ACCIDENT
Special to the Louisville Courier

We have 10 record this morning another
terrible coal oil accident, arising from the
careless use of that dangerous illuminating
fluid, which resulted in the loss of three
lives. On last Thursday night, Mrs. Fans,
wife Of Col. G. A. Fans, living a quarter
Of a mile from Talford's Station, on the
East Tennessee and Virginia railroad, was
sitting up waiting on a sick child. We
understand, that several times during the
night, when she arose to give the child its
medicine, she had poured oil on some em-
bers in the fireplace, for the purpose Of
making blaze and lighting up the room.
The result was that at last the oil in the
can took FIRE a. she was STOPPING down
over il, with the child 10 her arms. The
can exploded and the burning contents were
thrown over her and her child. With fran
tic screams, Mrs. Fans rushed into another
room where her husband had been sleep
ing. he, aroused by her cries, wrapped
blankets and quilts around her, endeaVor-
ing 10 PM out the flames, burning himself
severely, but, also, too late TO save the
mother or child. The former was terribly
burned about the head and upper part Of
the body, aud the latter was burned from
head to foot, expiring shortly afterwards.
Mrs. Fans, while in the agoDies OF her
fortunes, gave birth to another child, and
on Sunday morning the mother and both
children we're buried in the one coffin. -
