The Governor of Tennessee Is Received in
NashVille-He Declares that there shall BE
Color, or Participation in the RebelliOn-The
New Legislature.
Despatch to The ECening Telegraph.
NASHVILLE Tenn, Aug. 1.-GOvernor Senter
arrived in the city last evening, and met with
brilliant reception He was escorted from the
railroad depot to the City Hotel, where he made
a feeling and felicitous speech in response to
the welcoming address of Ex-Governor Neil S.
Brown.
In the course of his remarks Governor Senter
emphasized one point, and that was that in
Tennessee there must be no prescription on ac-
count of rebellion, race or color. Suffrage, and
the fullest political and civil rights, must, he
said be free to all.
He continued by saying that the wounds of the
past must heal up and that brotherly and fra
ternal feeling was now to be cultivated all
around in Tennessee.
He thought the surroundings were ripe for
new party which would discard dead issues and
act up to the living present. Bourbonism on
the one hand, and proscriptiye radicalism on the
other, should be ignored and set aside, and
new departure taken which would lead to liberal
and progressive ideas and measures.
The young men of the State, he said, carried
the recent election with such an impetus that the
Judges were almost unable to decide how far
they had gone ahead. He urged that the wis
dom of age should temper young America, but
it is striding along like an Arab courser. His re-
marks were received with shouts of applause.
Enough legislative returns have now been re-
ceived to shOwIthat in that body, containing one
hundred and nine members, there will not be
over twenty Republicans
