Governor Senter's Message to the new Leg
stature Of Tennessee is very good. He proposes
that the existing disabilities upon disfranchised
rebels be removed, he urges the ratification Of
the Fifteenth Amendment: he sustains earnestly
the new public school system Of the State; he
recommends the sale Of delinquent railways to
tighten the State debt; he vigorously opposes
Reputation, and he appeals to the Legislature to
DO something to encourage immigration into the
State to develop its vast resources of wealth and
prosperity. This certainly is good programme
for the Legislature. They will probably, how
ever, pursue an exactly opposite course on most
of these points. They will not ratify the Fifteenth
Amendment They are reported to have CON-
menced war unon the new school system They
are supposed to favor reputation. and are about
to elect an avowed repudiationist to the United
States Senate. They propose to abolish the whole
Judiciary of the State in order to get rid Of one
obnoxious judge Republican. All these things
are bad in themselves. and they will have ten
dency to discourage immigration. Senter be-
trsyed his party and obtained the governorship as
his reward. We shall now see how be gets along
with his Legislature.
