Governor declares the registration void deposes Tho
old Com missioner. appoints new one more faith
full and, presto behold loyal county giving large
msjorities for Brownlow and his favorites. Ali this
is done in the name and FOR the sake of Republican
ISM and the party is responsible for il unless thew
repudiate and condemn such injustice and AFRO
gance.
We have scarcely time, room or patience TO state
and refute the lies which these passages contain.
1t is false that two-thirds of the white population
are disfranchised that three-fourths of the weAth
intelligence and refinement OF the State are thus
prOscribedi that this class has not single vote ;
that the municipal governments are controlled BY
men who are hardly freeholders All this of course
is as false as il is malicious But the bIisterng lie
OF all is the statement that Brownlow rejects the
registration and votes of counties because they cast
Conservative maorities. Never for such reason nor
honesty in the registration has Governor Brownlow
thrown aside the vote or registration of county.
Only when fraud or violence have outraged the law
governing elections, has he interFarred and proba
bly, not then for more than one instance in three.
AS to the Governor giving the public printing to
loyal papers, we admit the fact sRG glory in it. 1t
Is the policy of the State and General Governments
to encourage loyalty and discourage its opposite
This was the doctrine Of Lincoln, and at one time
Of Jefferson
We know not who this nsmeless traducer is: but
we venture shrewd guess that he is Northern
sneak who probably fought rebellion in the field
and changed his base settling in Tennessee, by
allowing that the men against whom be fought were
The better class, and the men for whom and with
whom be fought we're less worthy His is not the
arst instance where persons have

" Tennessee DISSecled. !"

Such is the title Of an ill-natured, sneaking edi
torial in the Press aud Times Of Dec 20, ridicung
with scarcely concealed spleen the showing of the
"Scnior Editor of this paper that the Middle and
West divisions Of the State had received far more
Of State aid than this, add concurring with suc-
gestion Of the Banner to sever the Eastern part
from the others.
The a''iuS of the article is not difficult to be as
oertained 1t is in like vein with the daily utter
anoes Of the Press and Times during the canvass
against the Nashville carpet bag ring, which beat

small majority of some four thousand The assault

The Georgia Legislature has discovered

gratifying. At last Southerncrs are capa-

The New York Times says the whole
country wants TO sec General Grant enter,
at his accession, upon bold, rcsolute and
determined crusade against the Govern
ment thieves, and the bOlder and more res
olute he makes it. the more completely will
he be supported. The Tenuro-of Oaiee bill
ought to be repealed, and Gen. Grant should
be loft entirely free to undertake and exc
cute such reforms in the civil service as it
may require. If Congress sees the wisdom
Of making good behavior the sole tenure-of
office, let it adopt Jenckes Civil Service
bill but until some general provisions of
this sort are adopted, General Grant should
have-full power over appointments and re-
movals, which the Constitution gives him.
