REORGANIZATION.

Having originally published the
evidence furnished by Mr.. A. q.
Sharpe of the Cate Stokes conspi-
racy against Gov. Senter, and hav-
ing also published the material
portions of Gen. Stokes reply, in
which he charges an attempt at
bribery upon Mr. Sharpe, we feel
constrained TO admit TO our columns
the rejoinder of the latter. The
subject is one Of interest to the peo-
pie of Tennessee, and our desire is
simply to afford the truth a vehicle
to reach the public. We shall
afford Gen. Stocks the same facili-
ties for his defence.
In relation to the insinuation
that Andrew johnson has at any
time attempted to bride Gen.
Stokes into bis support, we are sure
that it is groundless. If he over
proffered to pay Stokes expenses,
it was simply on the ground that he
regarded him as a friend and found
him without money. lie is not and
never has been the man to advance
money to any one A. a condition
precedent to his support.

NEGRO EQUALITY. A
The following is the text of the
act regulating admission to places
Of public amusement and enter
tainment, which was passed by the
City Council of Washington and
approved by the Mayor: VAC
''l3e it enacted by the Board Of Alder
mon and Board Of Common Council of
the city Of Washington, That from and
after the passage Of this act it shall not
be lawful for any person or, persons who
shall have obtained a license from this
corporation, for the purpose of giving o
lecture, concert, an exhibition, having
q circus performances, keeping a theatre,
or any other place Of public amuse-
ment or entertainment, to make any
distinction on account of race or color,
in regard to admission, to any portion
where the audience is admitted Pro
yided, the person or persons. pwish-
ing admission pays the regular price, ac-
cording to the seats desired, and con-
ducts himself, herself or themselves 10
an orderly and respectful manner; and
any person and persons offending herein
shall forfeit and pay to this corporation,
for each offence, fine OF not less than
ten nor more than twenty dollars, to be
prosecuted and collected as other fines
and penalties. -
"Section 2. And be it further enacted,
That all acts or parts of acts inconsistent
with this act be, and the same is hereby
repealed"
1t has already been stated that q
couple of negroes applied at the
National Theatre on the evening of
9TH inst. for admission to the par
quet, but were refused. 1t is sup
posed that they will bring suit to
enforce their rights" A similar
law was passed in New Orleans
some two years ago; but although
it led to riot and bloodshed and
destruction of property, 80 far as
comforting and social equality on
negroes was concerned, it has re-
manned dead letter upon the sta
tute books. The better class of
negroes, those who hold property.
and are possessed Of some intellig-
ence, deprecated the unwise at
tempt to force them upon an equal
footing with the white people, fore-
seeing, as they did, that sooner or
later, there must be a revolution,
when they would be thrust back to
their proper station. There, as
here, however, the measure was
carried by rpet-baggers end
scalawags. In Washington as in
New Orleans, it is only reasonable
to believe that the attempt to thrust
debased and ignorant negroes into
the society of refined and intelligent
white people will fail. b7pail""'

claiming that Carter, Sullivan, Johnson,
Hawkins and Hancock counties would
give large msjorities for Senter, while in
Washington and Greene counties, it was
believed that Senter would about evenly
divide the vote with Stokes. The ball
is rolling on and growing as it rolls"
These are remarkable indications
coming from East Tennessee, where
the Withholding of the ballot from
"Rebels" has been SO popular.
Taken in connection with the sale
of the Stokes organ here to the
Senter wing, they presage the cleo
ton of Gov. Senter by a very large
majority. While we are gratified
at this evidence of a more liberal
and enlightened policy ON the
part of the Radicals of this State,
we feel that we can accept the
indications of this canvass
with an impartial Judgment,
for as between the candidates
personally we have nottbe slightest
choice, while our files show that we
did all We could to induce Mr..
Stokes take the position Gov,
Senter did. lie did not accept our
advice and if he does not already
see that he has thrown away the
only opportunity he ever had OF
securing his election as Governor
of Tennessee, he is a binder or
duller man than we have taken
him to be. a-f- sse' cra Ai@

THE wHE.rcuoP

1t Will be remembered what glo-
rious results were produced by the
wheat crop Of 1855; what an influx
of capital it brought into the State;
how every branch of industry was
stimulated; how rapidly real estate
advanced in price, and what ready
sales were made; how the debts of
the People were paid, and in a word,
how prosperous the State imme-
diately became. We have now
ready for the scythe another mag
nificent crop. The only question
then to be considered is, how can it
be made most profitable, especially
to Nashville2 Our State win soon
be flied with purchasers and their
agents from other States. 1t is q
fact that our wheat, being earlier
than the Northern crop, always
commands the highest market
price. 1t is also well known that
the demand for new -four is greater
about the time our wheat il
garnered than at any other sea-
son. The consequence is that
dealers from other States
buy up our crop until it is OK
hausted, manufacture it and sell us
the -four. Now it is just as easy
to make the profit of both the
grower and manufacturer as it is
simply to enjoy the benefit of the
one. Let our grain merchants form
a sort of Board of Trade of their
own; let our banks accommodate
these merchants to their utmost ca
pacity, that they may be enabled
to buy every bushel Of wheat that
can be brought to this city, and
make this great grain market,
and then ship -four and not wheat
to the North, and thus make all
that can be realized from the crop.

DIVORCES IN souru cAKoLINA.

It used TO be the boast of the
people of South Carolina that di-
Vorce had never been granted in
their State. The laws of South
Carolina never permitted the grant
ing of divorces, and the fact that
the people Of that State never
changed their laws in this respect,
or clamored for their change, was
accepted as proof that the marriage.
contract was entered into with prop
er consideration, and as a conse-I
quence the desire TO obtain divorces
was very limited. But all that has
been changed under the new order
of things. The South Carolina pa
pers report that two DEGREES of di-
vOrce have recently been granted
by court in that State. In one of
these cases the parties were former
ly residents of Philadelphia, where.
they were married; the others were
natives of South Carolina The
Philadelphia Post, Radical says I
although always in favor of pro.
gress, we are rather sorry that the
State thinks it so necessary to keep.
up with the times" 1t remained
for reconstruction - under the
and at the command of
the " higher civilization Of the
North to reform this good old Car
DINA custom of abiding for life by
the marriage contract 1t is still
crediLable to the old State that,
though the law has been changed
for nine or ten months, only two
divorces have yet been reported,
and that one of these was between
parties recently from the North.
