CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 30.-Much has
been said and written the involved in the late
campaign in Tennessee and its influence on the future
status Of parties Yet believe even intelligent news
readers have formed decidedly erroneous ideas as
10 the practical results OF the contest The general I'M
p,ss,on seems 10 be that the principle Of Universal
suffrage and Amnesty prevailed The newspapers and
Doltcans before the election certainly did make the
peope believe that this the issue at stake, ana Gov
Senter was unequivecal in his Endorsement OF the
doctrine And many OF the late Rebels and portion OF
the prss were sincere their desire TO keep faith with
the negroes. Those, however, who imagine that the
franchise question is already practically settled III Ten

reckless ambitious spirits IN every county
who are ready, by base appeals TO the ignorance pas
Aion and preudces Of the people TO organize an anti
