The next morning motley group was seen
in the splendid drawing-TOOm Of the general,
who insisted that the remains of the SISTER of
the Poor" should not be removed from thence.
On the velvet cushions were seated apparent
meudicauts, though their humble attire was
clean. Strange 10 say, the proud general was
listening eagerly to the takes of these poor peo-
pie, who with the seihshness of old age, said
no Sister would now tend them as Sour Cecile
had done. -----
.Would you believe it, sir, = said n bent old
woman, "Snur Cecile caught n dreadfnkcouEh
one winter from giving me her blanket, aud
sleeping without it herselfR For she said
was not so able to bear the cold as she was
being young. All, me! | can't pray for her,
but will ask her TO pray for me in Heaven"
At this moment Lady NIaude entered the
room, and started back in horror at the com
pauy she saw in her saloon.
Little heed the proud how soon the look of
scorn is understood. Instantly the poor orea-
lures got up, aud trying to make as low an
obeisanoe TO the s'grande dame" as their aged
limbs allowed, they apologised, and said they
had Come to pay their last respects to the re-
mains of their dear Sour Cecile"
Let them stay, Maude," said the general,
"they can do no HARM
But the lady deigned no reply, and left the
room in silence. Now, however, the Sister
who had accompanied them hurried them
away; sObbing herself as she sprinkled the eat
beHife over the corpse, and laid some flowers at
its feet. 3.
The branch of Buis benii, the holy water, tho

The Brownsville franchise de-
cision makes the Office of Judge of
election merely perfunctory. The
certificate of the registering officer
presented at the polls is conclusive
of the right Of the person offering
to vote. The judges have now
only to supervise the holding of the
election, and control the receiver
and clerks in their duties.
The court says the duties of the
registering officer care of a Judicial
nature, and his Office is an office Of
Q Judicial nature and his decisions
are Of Judicial nature; and hi

WHAT OF THE DRIFT

The Press and Times has been
publishing letters from a number
of gentlemen of more or less intel
ligence in various portions of the
State, giving their opinion as to how
the election will terminate. They
all entertain the same opinion, that
Stokes will be elected, but after all
there is nothing singular in that,
for there is not the slightest doubt
that "the wish is father to the
thought" The Knoxville Wing is
arriving at the opposite conclusion
by a process more satisfactory at
least to itself and its wing of the
party. The Whig says:
1.-The recent judicial election is very
significant as Indicating the relative
strength Of Senter and Stokes. In Da-
wilson county where the issue was well
understood. the candidates were outs
spoken. East and Rexford, both candi-
dates for the same office, Chancellor,
were for Senter. M. NJ. Brien running
for Chancellor was equally strong for
Stokes. Now mark the result. Rexford
had a majority Of several hundred over
Brien, and East like majority over
RaXford.
"In Shelby county, the majority for
the Senter candidate for Chancellor was
some two or three hundred.
"In Chattanooga, Andrews received
only some thirty-si votes against some
two hundred and fifty~fVe votes cast for
Nelson, for the reason as given by our
correspondent that Andrews was under
stood to favor Stokes"

WHAT THE SUPREME COURT DE-
CIDED-DUTY OF THE PEOPLE.


We print elsewhere a synopsis
giving a clear and distinct idea of
what the Supreme Court decided in
the franchise case. 1t will be seen
that every man who has been reg
istered by County Court Clerk or
a registrar, is pronounced 4 legal
voter, and that he cannot be de-
prived of his right by the Legisla-
ture or the Governor. Where par
ties have lost their certificates, or
destroyed them under the impress
sion that they were of no value,
they should take immediate steps to
have duplicates issued. There are
thousands who were registered by
County Court Clerks or registrars
whose registration has been set
aside by the Governor, who have
perhaps lost or destroyed their GER
tifcates These men are all en-
titled TO vote, and they should do so
at the August election. Theirvot
may be needed to assist in electing
men to the Legislature who will be
pledged tc vote for bill calling a
convention at as early day as pos
sible to strike from our statute book
the infamous franchise law. That is
the issue TO make between candi.
dates for the Legislature. When a
reliable man pledges himself
to favor that policy, che Dem
ocrats and Conservatives should
unite their votes upon and elect
him. If this policy shall be
adopted throughout the State,
but few months will elapse before
Tennessee will again be blessed
with a republican form of govern
ment. We are glad to see this
policy inculcated by our contem-
poraries of the Democratic press.
The Brownsville Bee says:
I'm West Tennessee there are but
two counties, in our judgment, after O
careful survey of all the surroundings,
that the Radicals have a shadow of
chance 10 carry the August election, if |
the right steps are tsken and the proper |
course is pursued They are McNairy |
and Haywood and we have serious
doubts, If the proper effort is made, that |
they could carry the latter. Such il the |
opinisn of good many of our friends,
with whom We have ccnversed lately, in
regard to the same"
Private information from West |
Tennessee il Of the same tenor.
Now let the people go to work and
make good these predictions. i'll
Middle Tennessee shall co operate
with the West, as we feel assured
will be the case, there can be no
question as to the complexion of
the next Legislature touching
the questions in which the
people possessing the wealth and
Of the State are inter
cstcd. Now, let us go to work and
mako the restoration Of the ballot
to the white tax payers the par
amount issue Of the canvass. If
we triumph on this issue, Tennes-
see will be not only restored to Il
form Of government, but
'escued from financial ruin.

aged as not to endanger their party.
He says:
"The party in Tennessee was exactly
on the line Of union with Congress. II
was so fixed in Congress that five hum
dred could be let in at once, but if at
any time it is discovered that things
were going wrong the brakes were put
On and negotiations for little while
were stopped. If the class Of men he
had mentioned, were enfranchlsed, 1t
would not endanger the Republican
party nor affect the welfare Of the coun~
try. If the legislature had power to res
lieye disabilities bya twot-hird majority
he would need send in large number
of names from his county, and in that
way 10000 or 10000 could be relieved"
There is his position in nut
