THE apology and attempted ex-
culpation of those who, in popular
phrase, are styled The City Ring"
appearing in the Press and Times
of yesterday, was read by this com
munity with mingled establishment
and indignation. We have hitherto
refrained in our editorial columns
proper, from allusion to the present
relations which have been made in
regard to corporation finances, for
the reason that we did not desire to
give a political coloring to the
subject. Whatever has been said
in these columns on the subject has
been in behalf of the tax-payiDg
people, Independently of political
procHvities, color, or sex. The
proof is ample that there
has been outrageous management,
. .
and that a vicious system mas in-
volved the municipal finances to an
extent that no man has yet been
able to fully ascertain. Enough is
known to make it certain that it is
ruinous. The confessions Of the
parties in charge admit this How
much of sheer bungling and
awk wardness, how much of reck-
less wastefulness, and how much of
deliberate criminality there has
4, been, is not yet developed. All
agree that. things are so bad that
they could not we'll be worse, and
all know who is Immediately re-
sponsible. As we understand, the
matter has been carried TO the
courts, aud the judiciS investiga-
ton is now in progISs. Those

The Knoxville Hhig has received
a communication urging measures
of compromise and the withdrawal
Of one or both the candidates for
Governor. The EHtg says the time
is too short to effect such an ar
rangement, and "besides this, a
great principle has now entered in
to the canvass that can not be ig-
nored until it has been settled by
the votes of the Republican honest
masses Of Tennessee" That prin-
ciple is the suffrage question.

'lpIe IS The Suffrage question

IT will be seen from the article
we reproduce this morning that the
Chicago Tribune, the Radical organ
Of the Northwest, favors the cleo
ton of Gov. Senter, and regrets
"that any portion ofthe Republican
party in power for the time being
should be permitted to disfranchise
its opponents" We have seen but
one Radical paper outside the State
that favors the election of Stokes,
and that is the Chicago Journal.

THE TWO POLICIES.

The State Journal came out
Monday in favor of convention to
remove the disabilities from the
DISTINGUISHED white men Of the
State, without the interposition of
the Legislature, and we said that
when it undertakes to pledge Mr..
Stokes to this policy: we must re-
spectfully ask for the authority. To
this the State Journal responded
yesterday:
"Our authority is that we know
whereof we speak; we know the senti-
ment of our party and of our candidate.
When Stokes was here he had
his platform printed that no one
should be mistaken as to his posi-
ton. Here it is in few words
from the authorised version of his
speech

direction, the Washington cores
pondent of the Louisville Courier
writes under date of June % as
follows
Politicians here from Virginia and
Tennessee have been very anxious to
learn which side the administration
would take in the pending contests in
these States where the two parties are
republican, one conservative and the
other radical. Several pilgrimsges have
been made here from both sides, and a
Republican newspaper here and one in
New York have been in doubt which
ticket to approve until the President
should Indicate his views. The matter
has been even talked over in cabinet
councils. and Secretary Boutwell, de-
clared that these could not be two
Republican parties in this country, aDt
that the one that was most radical was
deserving of support, The President ha'
hacked this up by declaring that he in
dorses Stokes in Tennessee and Wells
in Virginia, and that the federal patron

The Stokes organ charges that
"Gov. Senter took the money that
belonged to the school fund, or
what was left of it, and paid the
militia with it" 1t has been I'M
derstood that what was left of the
school fund was taken by Gov.
Brownlow long before Gov. Senter
assumed the duties Of the Govern
or's Office, to pay interest on the
State debt, and this understanding
is fully borne out by the recent let.
ter of Secretary Fletcher. The
truth is, there was no school fund
nor fund Of any kind left for Gov
Senter to take to pay the militia OF
any thing else. In confederation
of this fact, it will be remembered
that the Comptroller had to borrow
money in New York to pay thu
militia as well as provide funds foI
the schools.

Court at Montgomery, Ala rem
dered decision recently which is
likely to cause much confusion un-
less it is overruled by the Supreme
Court. The case of the State VS..
Paulk, was on trial when the at
torneys for the prisoner plead that
the indictment was found in 1862,
at time when the State of Ala
bama was in rebellion" and that
the indictment was illegal, and the
acts of the court at that time null
and void. The Judge sustained the
objection, and held that as the
courts in 1862 were illegal, indict~
ments under them could not stand,
and that the prisoner was free.
