GRANTS troubles with and about
his cabinet seem to have no end.
There were rumOrs afioat in Wash
ington Monday that Messrs. Fish,
Hoar and Borie were about TO re-
sign at once from the cabinet. In
support of these stories it was said
that Western Senators have told the
President that Mr.. Fish is altogeth
or too conservative for the Radical
party, and that he is not in favor
OF the vigorous foreign policy of the
President; and that Senators are
universally opposed to Mr.. Hoar,
who has undoubtedly made himself
very obnoxious as Attorney Gen
eral. As regards Secretary Borie,
his retirement would create no sur
prise, as it has been anticipated by
his friends for some days. 1t does
not appear, however, that Fish and
HOar have any intention of resign

IunGEa McCLAIN ACCEprs

Judge McClain has accepted the
nomination of the Radical conven-
ton for Judge of the Supreme
Court for the middle division. In
his letter of acceptance he says:
IF should be the choice Of the people,
as expressed through the ballot box,
shall endeavor to discharge the duties Of
the Office with all the ability | possess,
and with o proper appreciation Of the
solemn obligations which my oath of
Office shall impose.
This is a very good pledge and
if it shall be faithfully carried out
in the event Of his election, he will
entitle himself to the gratitude of
the people. The difficulty we have
heretofore labored under in Ten
nessee since its reconstruction, is,
that we have had a Supreme Court
to which a hundred thousand OF the
best and truest citizens of the State
felt that they could not appeal with
any hope of getting justice where
their cases involved a political

Legislature had amended the eonsti-
tuition under this grant Of limited
authority SO far as to fix "the quail
fications of voters and the limita-
ton of the elective franchise, and
elections had been held under the
constitution as thus ssamended.! IL
was after the Legislature had thus
performed its delegated work, and
it had passed from under its control
and been acted under by the peo-
pie of the State, that Judge Shak-
elford decided that that body, had
the authority which it had
exercised to revise its work. This
revision was not to perfect the de-
tails of the amendment" as the,
franchise law is termed, but to make
it more proscriptlve, and that, too,
for the sole benefit of a political
party. 1t is the merest bosh to pre-
tend that "the people in their SOW
ereign capacity" had anything to
do with determining the elective
franchise" Not more than one
fifth of the white voters of the
State voted on the amendment to
the constitution when il was sub
mitted to the people for ratification,
and Judge Shackelford knows very
well that they were not kept away
from the polls by an iron-clad oath
or any other description of oath,
for every man who desired to vote
on the proposed amendment was
allowed to do so without let or him
drance. 1t was free thing then,
as it was in the election for Cover
nor and members OF the Legisla-
ture imediately following. And
this is the last free election
we have had in Tennessee. For
this we arc indebted to Andrew
Johnson, who threw the ballot box
open to every man who desired to
exercise the right of suffrage. 1t
was no act of "the people in their
sovereign capacity" which foisted
upon them that most iniquitous
piece of legislation known as the
franchise law. Nothing is clearer
than this. We would fain hope
that Judge Shackelford has seen
the error of his decision recognizing
tie power of the Legislature to re-
wise its action under the delegated
authority of the convention, after
that action had become an accom-
plished fact, and that he is now
prepared to repair that blunder, to
call it by no harsher name, as far
as possible. We feel warranted in
assuming that in yielding to the
demands of the Radical party by
promulgating that decision, he did
violence to his convictions of right
and Of proper construction of the
law. That decision Injured solely
to the benefit of the Radical party,
and now that party has thrown its
author overheard. Such is Radical
gratitude.

"When martial law was declared, as

ing revolution would follow, and was

We have heard that the other
Judges of the Supreme Court united
with Shackelford in this opinion. 1t
is very certain that this representa-
ton opened the eyes of Gov. Sen
ter and Gen. Cooper, and the latter
made haste to modify his autocrat-
ic order suspending the civil courts,
and directing offenders to be tried
by military tribunals. When the
Governor issued his proclamation
declaring martial law in portion
of the counties of this State, the
UNION AND AMERICAN advised the
friends of the first man that should
be arrested by order of Gen. Coo
per or any of his satraps, to be
tried by military court, to apply
at once TO Judge Trigg, of the
United States Court, for writ Of
habeas corpus, and this outrageous
usurpation would be stopped at
once. Judge Shackelford, it will
be seen, conceded with this opin-
ion. .-...
