The Clarksville Chronicle Of tie 18th con
tains the following items
Some damphaol in Congress has dis
covered that Gen. Blairs letter read before
the Convention foreshadows fresh rebel
lion, and advises Congress to attend to it IN
time. From this may be inferred the pur-
pose Of Congress not to accept the result Of
the ballot, but in the event. of defeat, to pro
claim Grant President and trust to him and
the army for continued radical supremacy.
Whether the Democrats of the North VIII
submit to this is now the most interesting
question before the people of the south.
We have alIuded elsewhere to the armed
demonstrations made by the negroes, Of this
locality. and since that time, the allusion
has received additienal Significance from
notices that similar demonstrations are being
made Ia most Of the Southern States. The
proves concert and premedita-
tien, and the concert and premeditation IN
dieate danger of the most serious character
calling for active measures to avert it. We
think public meetings should be called
throughout the State for consultation as to
the best means for accomplishing this par
pose. a stitch IN time, Is q wise measure.
