SENATE CHAMBER,l
NASHVILLE, Nov. 10th, 1869. (

DEAR SIR Tours of the 5th inst, is re-
ceived. There is not one word of truth in
any report ~that the Tennessee Legislature
had passed bill restricting the rights OF
the cOlored people, or that a bill had been
passed prohibiting that class of citizens
from holding property unless through the
agency of white men, There has been no
proposition so far as am informed before
the Legislature touching the rights or inter-
est of the colored man in any way. Moth
ing has been said upon the subject, nor do l
believe anything will be saId. / am sure
nothing will be done. ~

supporters OF the one are the real citizens

black majority over the heads OF the
white people of the State. In nebreath
he vaunts that, call the colored men of
mississippi are at my (his1 back. And
in another that they are in majority Of
thirty thousand, and that ''they consti-
''tute the political power of the State "
The object Of this audacious boast Is
apparent. In plain English, it means,
you must consent TO turn your State gov
ernment over to the hungry adventures
who have conspired with j. l.. Alcorn to
get control of your lives, liberty and ear
nings, or YOU shall be made to feel the
rod whish / hold over your heads. In
no event would their malignant bluster
deter freemen from the conscientious dis
charge of their duty. But it is harmless
when coupled with the knowledge that it
is without truth. The majority of color
ed voters is not ''thirty thousand" We
doubt if it is more than one-third that
number In the original registration un-
der Gen. Ord, when very many white per-
sons declined to register, the majority in
round numbers was 13, 900. Subsequent
ly the registration list was revised and
it is known that in many counties, the
colored majority was overcome. The re-
yised list has never been published. The
Radicals are circulating a bogus list
which sets down the colored majority at
81 900, nine thousand less than Alcorn's
estimate This revised list is not per-
mitted to see the light: but in addition
to the original list showing the colored
majority to have been 1900, we have
other data which afford the means of a
correct estimate of the number of voters
of the two races. By the census of 1866,
the population of the State was as fol-
lows
White, ,.....................343, 460
Black, -. ..........381, ,258
Estimating one male adult above q
years of age in every FIVE inhabitants
and we have
Blacks, .............76,2 ,251
Whites, ................6 SO, ,694
According to an estimate published in
the Pilot there are 1900 whites who are
disfranchised in this election, leaving
GA, 094 white votes-against rs, Isl col
ored, and leaving majority of only.12,
O57 for the latter
That these figures approximate true
estimate of the white vote of the State,
we have the authority of Gen. Alcorn
himself, as furnished in the very address
in which he indulges his valiant boast of
the thirty thousand majority which are
''at his back" On page y, he speaks
of ''19, 800 slave-owners shaping (before
''the war; the legislation of Mississippi to
''their own purposes by dominating a
voting population of serenity thousand
"lohites" In this enumeration, Alcorn
for once, is nearly correct. In 1860 the
combined vote of Breckenridge, Bell and
Douglas, was 50, 129 and it is not ques-
toned that the number of males within
the voting age is as large now as iii 1850.
So much for Alcorn's boast, and his
reliability as a statistician.

As we go 20 press we hear that an open
rupture has taken place to-day between
General Grant and Secretary Boutwell,.
The cause of the trouble was the Mississippi
election. The interview between the Presi-
dent and his Secretary was quite animated
The Secretary determined that it was best
for the interests of the Radical party and
the Administration that the Conservative
movement in Mississippi should be crushed,
and wished to act in the matter. General
Grant thought Otherwise, and intimated
that it was only the near approach of the
election that prevented the removal of Ames
who was acting in the interest of Boutwell,
Il Co. General Grant. evidently has been
impressed by Judge Dent while here. with
regard to Ames' viIlany. General Sherman,
some time since, was In favor of Ames' re-
moval. Those who witnessed the interview
are reported to have said that Boutwell,,
after what has happened, cannot in honor,
longer remain in the Cabinet.

during the next two or three MONTHS
This is usually the case every summer,
and there is no reason why this one
should be an exception. With every
prospect of splendid crops, however,
