az compared with 1867, is demonstrated, how
ever, by the fact that the assets have on
the average covered larger percentage Of the la

position on the part OF commercial men. Taxing an
estimated average OF 5000 liabilities per failure in
the country al large, which Is the generalization

the year may be calculated. The average proper

the other day having heard Of three

The bonds thus made payable to
the order of that insurance COM
pany, of which there were twenty,
(s20,0 00,) and the property OF the
Bank of Tennessee, were never
turned over to the trustee of that
institution. The fact that some Of
them have been seen in the posses

Tennessee, is pretty conclusive that
they must have been abstraeted

they were turned over by the mill.

ACAsE FOa Gov. sENTzR.

The outrage committed by Gov,
Brownlow in declaring martial law
is forcibly illustrated in the follow
ing paragraph which appears in the
editorial columns of the Press and
Times of yesterday:
Judge Lauck, ofGallatin, was in the
city yesterday, having just returned from
jackson county, where he has been hold
ing Chancery Court for two weeks at
Gainsboro, the county seat. In converse
ten with him, he stated that jackson
county contained population as orderly,
law abiding and sociable as any in the
State During his stay there be met
with men Of all parties from every pOr~
ton Of the county, and was very fa-
vorably impressed with the social
condition and general good feeling
Of the people. A large amount of
business is transacted OF the term of the
Chancery Court As jackson is included
in the list Of counties where martial law
has been declared by the Governor S
proclamation,i it would be well to institute
a careful investigation into the actual
condition of affairs before proceeding
further. Judge Lauck was elected as a
Republican, and it is not to be presumed
that his impressions were made by any
prejudice in favor of ex-Confederates.
He has made a statement to the head
quarters of the militia, substantially the
same as that he made TO us In conversa"
tien."
Here is Radical testimony as to
the quiet and orderly character and
behavior of the people of Jackson
county. The declaring Of martial
law over this county illustrates in
a very striking manner the charac-
ter of administration we have had
under Gov. Brownlow. Some vim
dictive person OF persons in jack
son county, sought to wreak mean
and petty revenge upon the people
of that county through the Gov
ernor of the State, and he, ready to
listen to any tale rejecting upon
the law-abiding disposition Of the
people who are not Radicals, and
without instituting any inquiry in
regard to the truthfulness OF
these reports, made himself
particepS criminals 10 this mean
malignity by proclaiming martial
law in that county. Here is the
testimony of Judge Lauck, whose
radicalism will not be questioned,
that Jackson county contained a
population as orderly, lawabiding
and sociable as any in the State y
But Brownlow has inflicted the hOr-
rors of martial law and an unbridled
militia upon this people, without
taking the trouble to learn that the
representations made to him were
false and the offspring Of vlndic-
tive malignity that should be
held up to universal eNecration
There is reason for the statement
that the character and the DISPOSE
ton of the people of the other coun.
ties in which martial law has been
declared have been purposely and
wickedly misrepresented to the
Governor, and that he has acted
upon these representations without
caring whether they were true OF
false, that he might harrass and
annoy people who have opposed
and denounced his bold and out
rageous usurpations and tyranny
Gov. Senter should give these mat
tiers early and prompt attention,
and relieve the people from this
spiteful infection.

Gov. SENTER's inaugural is print
ed elsewhere. He gives no indica-

save that he will labor faithfully
to serve the real interests of Tennes'
see and her citizens by reducing, in
all practical ways, the liabilities o.
the State and economizing in ex'
penditure," and that he asks the
cheerful cooperation of all good
citizens of all classes, sects and par,
tiesR in thiswork. 1t is needless to
say if he makes this a cardinal
point Of his administration, that he
will receive the support he asks o.
