The franchise question overridei

now joined before the people O
Tennessee. B 3.Es5 VsFtstt 3
Gen. Stokes has declared that he
was prepared TO recommend to the
next Legislature, TO enfranchise by
twosthirds vote all men now dis
franchised, who should observe good
and loyal conduct until the assem-.
bling of that body, and who might
make special application for relief
from their disabilities.
But the ordinance of disfran.
chisement is part of the constitu,
tlon, according TO the courts, and
no gubernatorial recommendation,
or two thirds Legislative vote, can
affect it. Prepare, Gen. Stokes,
some practical plan of giving force
to your views, whatever they may
be. Thus far, in effect, you have
said nothing.
Gov. Senter on the same occas-
ion announced that if elected
Governor, he would recommend TO
the Legislature to call a conven-
ton to remove disabilities and re-
store to the people the rights of
freemen. This is very much in ad-
vance Of Gen. Stokes position and,
besides, is practicable. The first
section Of the bill of rights would
be the proper, necessary and au-
thorltative preamble to an act pro-
viding for the assembling Of a CON
vention. 1t could and should be
made immediate The object of
this section was to supersede the
third section of the tenth article of
the constitution as it existed prior to
1884. which required the concur
renSe of two consecutive Legisla-
lures to call a convention. The
Legislature as the representatives
of the people can Eat all times set
in motion the machinery by which,
in the language of the Bill of Rights
"the people can after, reform or
abolish the government in such
manner as they may think proper. "
We state the case this way in
order that there may be no confu-
sion in the public mind as to the
question as now presented. We
think it fairly expresses the views
of the candidates and lest we
should be in error we trust they will
speak clearly to the point to- morrow
at Cleveland. A reporter will be
present on the occasion.

GEN. GRANT has appointed a ne
gro named Turner postmaster at
Macon, Ga. This negro is in the
North, and has been for several
weeks, and expresses a fear to res
turn, as he had rendered himself
very obnoxious to the citizens Of
Macon. Two efforts have been
made to get Grant to revoke this
appointment, but he refuses to do
so on the ground that the "Rebels''
must be punished for their out
RACES on loyal men. Grant can
not rise above the mean partisan.

A BLACK PARTY.

The position of the negroes in
the present canvass is exciting
serious apprehension outside of this
State. The st. Louis Democrat,
the Radical organ in Missouri, says;
s"If such men as BrownIow, Senter,
Fletcher, and others, favor speedy en-
Reimbursement We hardly believe that the
cOlOred people understand the condition
Of the State better than they. Means
while, if the division on the line of Coz
Tor is made it will be most unfortunate
for the negroes it will drive from polit-
ical influence in Tennessee the dema-
gogues who bring it about, and it will
render the election of Senter almost
certain. ... r.. . ..
We have heretofore called atten-
ten to the danger growing out of
this Radical split of the formation
of q white mans and black man s
party, and in such contingency
every one must know that the ne
grOes will 80 TO the wall. There
ought to lie sufficient intelligence
among the negroes to know that
they cannot form and maintains
party against the whites. The fact
that they unite almost solid on one
candidate will be rather an element
of weakness than of strength.
The Louisville CoWricr-Jouraal
says .a #..... ..... ..a
alt appears that Gen. Stokes, whilst
speaking at Nashville last Saturday
against the removal Of the political disa-
bilities of tho ex>Rebels Of Tennessee,
was frequently cheered, and that, when
he closed, a part Of the cOlored portion
of his audience, unwilling to hear Gov
Senter's reply, went shouting from the
hall This is strikingly illustrative of
the fell spirit which has been aroused in
the hearts of tho Tennessee negroes.
They think that they have got the white
race under their feet, and they are de-
termined not only to keep them there,
but to vaunt the fact on all occasions as
Extensively and insolently as possible"
This is the element of strength

canvass with. twill be peculiarly

Radical candidate for Governor,

"a candidate like Maynard, standing
upon the broad ground of universal suf,

neither of the present rivals can con-

"UNCONsCIOUsLY TENDING TO
DESPOIIsM.p

Prof. Wilcox, the Woman's Rights
champion in Washington, has re-
signed, under compulsion, the office
of Librarian of the Bureau of
Statistics. His letter of resigna-
ton, which he caused to be pub
lished in a Washington newspapers
is rich and racy reading. Like a
womans letter, the postscript is
the most important portion of the
epistle. 1t reads as follows:
at seems proper to add that my
judgemnt agrees with the opinion Of
leading Radicals, that this government is
unconsciously tending to despotism, and
that l am disposed to attribute the desire
manifested in some quarters for my
resignation (Which has FASTENED it but
slightly to my well known disposition
to resist that tendency" r5a,
The admission that '1eading Rad
icaIs'' consider this government as
consciously, or unconsciously, tend
ing toward despotism, is certainly a
fact of some Importance. Now let
imperiaIists rejoice, and Secretary
Borie's organ, the Imperfa1ist, sing
exnltant peans. Wilcox has re-
signed, and there is no longer any
check upon the despotic tendencies
of the government ..f .5si
