with the treatment Northern men

REGISTRATION RAsCALITIEs.

The McMinnville Nel0 Era of
Sd inst. makes the following state
ment:
"On last Thursday our registrar was
approached by several white persons
entitled to certificates, and requested to
issue certificates. lie refused, saying be
was issuing no certificates that day. Fu-
ture developments demonstrated the fact
that the registrar was mistaken in his
declarations large number of negroes
voted on certificates issued that day.
and which, no doubt, were Illegal
ly issued The registrar was ac-
cused of bad conduct, and be
excused himself by saying that "he
issued the certificates several days ago
The truth of the matter seems to be that
he put his official signature to a number
Of blank certificates several days before
the election, and that they were given
out to other parties, who selected their
voters and filed up the blanks accord
ingly. We have one of these certificates
in our pOssession-the filling of which
is in a very different handwriting from
that of j. E. Jones, Registrar"
This is a specimen of the com
plants which come up from various
counties in Middle and West Ten
nessee, and they show that these
registrars have been appointed be-
cause of their subserviency to the
Radical party. 1t has been clearly
demonstrated that man who will
vote the Radical ticket meets no
difficulty in obtaining a certificate,
while a Democrat finds it almost
impossible to get registered. The
registration offices have been run
heretofore almost wholly in the
interest of the Radical party, and
the people appeal to Gov. Senter to
break down this political partiality
on the part Of what the Supreme
Court has decided are judicial Off
GERS. They are alone responsible
to him, and he owes it to the people
as their chief executive officer TO
see that these registrars discharge
their duties without favor. lie
may rest assured that if he fails in
his duty touching this matter, he
will be sufferer as we'll as those
who may be denied their rights by
an arbitrary registrar.

TAX ON COTTON,

A gentleman in Sumner county
writes us note making inquiry as
to whether the government tax on
cotton will be collected this year.
He says an impression prevails in
that county that the tax was only
suspended last year. We have
heretofore stated that the tax was
Internationally repealed by the
act of February, 1868. Such is
the fact, and no tax en- cotton will
be collected, or can be until a new
law shall be passed by Congress,
an event that is not at all likely to
happen. The planters in Sumner,
and elsewhere may rest assured
that they will have no government
tax to pay on cotton they may
raise

VESTED RIGHTS.

On the 18th Of May, 1866, the day
after the passage Of the second fran
chise law, we wrote as follows {:
The eighth section of the act an
nuls the certificates issued under
the act of June 5, 1868. Notwith-
standing this, those who have GER
tifcates should hold on to them, as
We doubt not the courts will be
called upon to decide whether they
can be DISTINGUISHED in this manner.
Under the act of June 3, 1868, they
have acquired a vested right Of
which the Legislature may find
itself powerless to deprive
them. This is one of the ques
tions which the courts will
be called upon to decide" 1t
is remarkable that the Supreme
Court few days ago took precisely
the same view Of the franchise that
we advanced three years ago, that
when the voter got his certificate
it became a vested right of which
he could not be Invested, except by
trial and conviction Of an infamous
crime. This is the position the
court now holds, that when a man
received Il certificate from a regis
trar, he at once became vested with
a right of so sacred a character
that he could not be Invested Of it
by a mere act of the Legislature,
