abilities of the white citizens who took
mart in the rebellion is at the bottom Of
Il. The question of negro suffrage has
no vital place in it, since both facnons
and candidates are agreed on that point,
and solicit the colored vote with equal
fervor and diligence. 1t may, indeed. be
said that the only issue of the campaign
In Tenne ssee Ia few unimportant local
issues sside) is the enfranchisement OF
the disabled whites. :.
Do we understand Messrs. Boutwell,
and CreswelI to be opposed to that? The
declared policy Of the Republican party
ia TO remove all disabilities and restore
to political rights and franchises as rap
idly as may be compatible with the safety
of the country. Such, at least, is the in
depreciation given to the resolution intro
duced by General Carl Schurz and
adopted by the Chicago Convention with
out dissenting voice. 1t is the opinion
of Governor Senter that the. time has
come, to use his own language,
when the limitations and disabilities
which have found their way into our
statute books, as the result OF the war,
should. be abolished and removed, and
the privilege of the elective franchise re-
stored and extended, so as to embrace the
mass of the adult population of the
State" Ex-Governor Brownlow is OF
the same opinion, and no one, as is well
known, was more incorporating in
Withholding the suffrage, when It could not
be safely granted, than he. Even Gen
eral Stokes has liberalized his views
since the opening of the canvass, as did
Wells in Virgisia, and now processes to
be as ready to receive the offenders in
political fellowship as Senter himself.
So this light of Radicalism compro.
bends the true position of the parties in
this State. and the only prominent ques-
ton Of the canvass, which is, as it pro-
claims, the enfranchisement of rebels.
This Radical paper says negro suffrage
has nothing to do in the contest, as
both, or all candidates have agreed on
that. Then, the continued cumming OF
our contemporary on the subject of uni
versal suffrage is inappropriate, as he is
not supported by his quasi friends in en-.
deavoring to make it an issue of the can
vass.

Greenbank and Thayer.

The first case in this State Of a contest in
relation to the election of Judge learned
in the law' has just been determined by a
Joint committee in the legislature at Harris
burg. 1t was the case Of Greenbank and
Thayer. At the last October election in
Philadelphia Thos. Greenbank was the dem
ocra.ic and III. r. Thayer thercpublican can
didate for Judge of the District Court of that
city. TIE official return of the election gave
Greenbank G0,74s votes and Thayer 6o.628
making Greenbank' 5 majority 1875 He was
accordingly commi ssioned and took his seat
on the Bench. Thayer contested it on the
ground of fraud and claimed that he (Thayer)
had been elected by a majority of 212 votes,
while Greenbank claimed that if the fraud
ulent votes polled for Thayer were excluded
his (Greenbank's) true majority would be
243. These were the allegations of the re-
spective parties to the contest. 1t is fair to
presume that each Of these two gentlemen
understood the merits of his own side of the
question. Each went into the investigation
with certain specific charges against his op-
poneDt and undertook to prove their truth
Both, after full and mature examination,
were compelled to admit that the contest had
been close one, and neither claimed to have
been elected by more than $50 votes. The
committee, however, simplifed the matter
wonderfully, and astonished both the par
ties, but especially Mr.. Thayer. They threw
out the entire rOte in mine divisions of SIR
wards. In these nine divisions Gresnbank
had received 8 ,251 votes and Thayer 1857,
Greenbank's majority being 1894 and the
total vote pOlled Abeing 4,6Os, every one of
which was rejected by the committee. The
conclusion at which the committee arrived
was that Thayer knew nothing at all about
his own case, and that instead of having re-
ceived majority ef2I2. as ne believed and
claimed he had, his majority had assumed
the magnificent and to him unexpected fig-
ure of 1889. The report of the committee
being final and conclusive of the rights of the
parties, NJ r. Thayer takes has seat on the
bench and Thomas GreenJank takes Ets seat

in the bar. And thus it goes under the ty-
rannical and arbitrary rule Of the "God and
morality" faction.
In view Of this sweeping disfranchisement
cf s,251 democratic voters in nine entire di-
visions Of sic wards. when the allegation
simply was that certain number OF illegal
votes had been polled therein, this question
presents Itself: Can democrat who has
been elected to an Office over which radical
legislative body is invested with absolute
control hope to retain his seat if it should be
contested2 1t would be safe to bet the last
dollar and the last cent that his chances are
utterly hopeless. You might as well attempt
to dam up the Ohio river with bullrushes as
to stay the onward and resistless torrent Of
radical favoritisin and injustice! Once be-
fore has the present legislature covered itself
with infamy by ousting a democratic mem
Der upon the testimony ofseven thieves and
pickpockets from the vilest dens in Phila-
delphia. Judging from what has taken
place in the past, and from what may be ex-
pected in the future. we sometimes think
that if the seat Of the member Of Congress
from Berks county was contested by some
intensely loyal man. his claim would be re-
| cognized IL certainly would be If his ad-
mission would secure two-third vote

IKE rirteenlh Amensment.

The negro suffrage amendment has passed
both branches of the Legislature by strict
party vote. So far. therefore, as that imma-
culate body Is concerned, this act Of bold
usurpation and violated faith is complete.
We have so often expressed our views on
this subject that it is entirely unnecessary to
repeat them. How admirably does the con-
duct of the democratic legislature of Ohio
contrast with that Of the radical legislatures
of other States! IN that State the democrats
control both branches ofthe Legislature, and
might with perfect propriety and good faith
refuse to ratify it, because at the time they
were elected the question of negro suffrage
was submitted to vote Of the people and
was defeated by large majority, although
the radicals elected their candidate for Gov
eraor. Yet the democratic legislature Of that
State foregoes it's .unquestione3 right, and
postponed any definite action until the peo-
pie next fall shall again pass upon the ques-
tion. aT. H H.g aa a. a
The radical legislatures of Tennessee and
Minnesota both adjourned without ratifying
tit cannot pass in Indiana, since all the
democratic members OF the legislature, who
resigned in order to prevent its ratification,
have been reelected by their constituents.
In addition TO this, the States of Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas are not yet reconstruct
ed. and no man can tell when or how they
will be. So that the chances of the amend
ment being ultimately adopted by three
fourths of the States are growing small by
degrees and beautifully less.
1t is now certain that it will be made an
issue in this State during the approaching
campaign. The people are ready for it, nor
can the result be doubtful. 1t is said by
Harrisburg correspondents of some of the
radical papers that Morrow B. Lowry was
especially jubilant over its ratification by
the Senate, and that in the fullness of his
joy he vociferously shouted, '.Selah Selahl''
This was to be expected, as Lowry prided
himself on being the defender and eulogist
of that fanatical cut-throat and murderer, old
John Brown. We presume that Senator
| Wlite also felt gay and festive along with
brother Lowry. We presume that Mr.. White
has not forgotten the time when he made a
speech in the Court House in this place,
when he was asked what his opinion was
about negro suffrage and replied that "Suth-
cient unto the day is the evil thereof" That
was before tie election. however, and when
the valiant Senator regarded discretion a;
the better part of political valor. Let him
and Lowry, ct id genus ona1se. enjoy their
short lived triumph--let them revel over
broken promises and violated pledges-tht
end is not yet, and both may live long enough
to discover that this radical boon, Ike tempt
ing dead sea fruit, has burned to ashes on
their lips So mote it be. .-
