REVENUE TROUBLES

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer states that the ques
ton of sending troops into the various
Southern States to aid the revenue officers
in enforcing the law is engaging the at
tcntion of the administration, and consid-
cradle doubts are expressed as to the recent
proceedings in Florida and North Carroll
ma. The Attorney General is of the
opinion that the government cannot send
troops into State whose relations are
fully restored to the Union, except in
cases of instruction and invasion, and
only then when called upon by the Gov
ernor or the Legislature of said State In
cases where the federal laws are violated,
proclamation is required from the Presi-
dent before a military force can be used.
Revenue officers state that the legal diff
Guilty must be overcome by some MEANS
for they cannot collect the revenue in GER
tain sections without either the assistance
of military or naval force A leading
Radical member of Congress is reported
to have suggested "a rather . shortcut
to remedy these troubles. He favored
Congress passing a bill declaring those
States not reconstructed, and remanding
them TO military control again. II was
suggested that, as they were in the Union
and represented in Congress, there would
be some legal difficulty in Che way. He
replied that ii could be easily overcome,
and he was in favor any way of trying
the experiment. This is fair sample OF
the good faith exhibited by the Radicals.

EN-PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND
THE CONVENTION.

The Jackson Wig, which opposed cX-
President johnson for United States Sen
ator, makes the following recommends
ton in its issue of Oct 30:
''We had already prepared an article
suggesting the name of Andrew johnson
as a candidate from Greene county to the
State Convention, before we received the
Appeal Of Tuesday, with suggestion
from Nashville 10 that purpoTt That is
a field which will afford ''ample scope
and verge enough" for the exercise
of his great talents; and at a
time like the present. when the true
idea of constitutional liberty seems
10 he so imperfcetly understood, il is of
the utmost importance that men of the
clear head and strong convictions which
all admit tie eX-President to possess,
should be pressed into the public service.
The writer in the appeal suggests that
Mr. johnson be elected President Of the
convention. He does not need the honor,
and we do not doubt that he would feel
more at home, and be far more useful
upon the floor, and in the committee room. -

There are three tickets in Massachusetts,,
Radical, Democratic and Labor. Should
the latter poll a large vote, the chances of
the Democracy are fair. Mr.. Adams, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, has
a strong hold upon the masses, and will
make good run. The most exciting part
of the contest, however, is in regard to
the Legislature. The Democrats, Radi-
calls, Prohibitionists, Labor Reformers and
License men, are all hard al work. We
predict that the Legislature viii be anti
prohibition. The more conservative Re
publicans of Massachusetts, have issued an
address to their neutrality-suspicious., in
which they use very plain language as tc
the course of their party in that State in

them TO unite with any party that viii de

seems 'the only means of rescuing the
