CARPET RAGGERS.

The Press and Times, under its
new editorial management, is very
severe upon the carpet-baggers. In
their Introduction, the new editors
say:
Whilst every encouragement by way
of welcome, social courtt sizes and patron
age should be extended to that meritO-
rious class, who are induced to establish
their citizenship with us to assist in our
recuperation, a well as promote their
own interests, those spectators in our
misfortunes, l0adsh0yks and human
rulfUres who come to consume the fats
ness of the land, and then leave 1t bar
rem and impoverished, should be met
with frowns aud open scorn This Is
the sentiment of the good and liberal
minded men of all political compilations.
We fear the new editors have not
been thoroughly drilled in the
tactics of Nashville Radicalism.
We shall not be surprised to hear
that they have stirred up a very
ugly hornets nest, by running such
a tilt against the carpet-basgers,
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-05-07
IN A sHAKY CONDITION.

The Loudon Union Pilot, the
first paper in the State to advocate
the election of Gov. Senter TO the
position he now fills, suggests a
new reason why Stokes should not
be elected Governor. That paper
accepts it as fixed fact that "the
Republican party have determined
to make him the successor of SEN
ator Fowler" The Union Pilot
sees in the rivalries and jealousies
in the Radical party the seeds of
its disintegration, and it fears if
Stokes should be elected Governor
and afterwards elected United
States Senator, the State might be
presided over by a Democratic or
moderate Republican Governor.
Here is what that paper says:
"What the complexion of the next
Senate may be, no man can fOretell. We
hope it may be true Radical Republican,
1t may be Conservative Republican. 1t
is at least possible for the soft Republic
cans and Democrats when united, TO
have majority if so an unreliable man
is sure to be speaker of the Senate, and
to vacate the GubernatOrial chair by
electing Stokes to the United States Sen,
ate, would, in the event indicated, place
Tennessee in the hands ofthe Democratic
party, as the speaker of the Senate would
become Governor just as Senter succeeded
BrownlOw. We repeat then it is a
very great risk to have such contin-
gencies staring us in the face. 1t is
needless to recount the conclusions and
interest involved. We have no thought
but Gen. Stokes will be, elected to the
United States Senate, we have no idea
that he would prefer being Governor two
years, to a seat in the American Senate
for six; and we are entirely unwilling to
hazard the Executive Office of the State,
on the precariOus result of the selection
Of the next Speaker Of the State Senate
tits an experiment which We do not feel
like making in these days of apostacy
and political mutations among men"
The Union Pilot evidently re-
CARDS the Radical party in this
State as in a shaky condition.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-05-07

THERE are chickering's and heart
burnings among the faithful in East
Tennessee. The Loudon Union
Pilot charges that the Knoxville
junto is laboring to defeat Gen. Joe
Cooper in getting up the bond re-
CURED Of him as collector of inter
nal revenue. They recommend
him for the office Through fear"
and now he "must be circumvented
by strategy" That paper pro
nOunces this "a very nice little
scheme, if fools alone were to be
encountered" 1t declares that zone
of the sealed has an official bond
for the same position already per
fected, and is only awaiting the
time allotted to Gen. Cooper to
meet the requirements Of the treas
ury department to expire, when this
selected aspirant proposes to step
in and grasp the glittering prize"
These Radicals are loving Office
and harmonious set.

THERE is a strong probability
that Bullock, who seeks the nomi-
nation as the Radical candidate for
reelection as Governor of Georgia,
will be thrown overheard. 1t is
reported that instructions have
been sent out from Radical Senators
in Washington to discard him, be-
cause he procured the rejection of
the fifteenth amendment by Repub-
lican votes. His aim was to secure
the impression that by this action
the State deserved to be totally re-
constructed over again, but he has
overleaped himself. ...

THEINFAHIES OF THE FRaNCHIsE
LAW,

L" 1t has been made to appear to
the satisfaction of Gov. Senter
"that frauds and irregularities have
interviewed in the registration of
voters in our county of Maury,"
and he has issued proclamation
setting aside and declaring "nuH
and void all registration of voters
heretofore made by the former COM
missioners, J. H. l.. Fuller and
Tyreo Noles, subsequent to May 6,
1861 This proclamation of Gov.
Senter has called forth a statement
from the GAINESVILLE Patriot, Rad
ical,) to which we invite especial
attention. The Patriot says:
"Gov. Senter has ordered Maury
county to be re-registered, and in his pro-
clamation therefor, puts it upon the
ground Of Irregularities &C curing under
the auspices of John II. L. Fuller, Esq,
who was Commissioner for a short time,
but whose appointment was revoked by
Gov. Brownlow at the suggestion of Mr..
Arnell, because Mr.. Fuller was a sup
porter of Col. Buck. Gov. Senter has
been grossly deceived in this regard. We
have nc objection to urge against his ac>
ton in Te,registering Maury, but do
most sincerely protest against making
Mr.. Fuller responsible therefor, as it is
unjust. The frauds occurred under other
auspices than Mr.. Fullers. 1t is a no.
tOriOus fact, undeniable and patent, ca
pable Of proof the most abundant and
overwhelming that hundreds of certifi- 1
Gates were peddled about in the
interest Of Mr.. Arnell, and openly
offered to any body who would vote for
that gentleman for Congress, no matter
who was voted for for President. We
personally know of gentlemen, non-vot
ers, who were offered certificates adj an
fnitUn:, provided they would pledge
themselves to vote for Mr.. Arncll and
we know several who refused to accept
them upon those terms upon the
ground that, if they were entitled
to vote, they proposed to exercise
their franchise untrammoled. We also
know of others who accepted certificates
upon pledges that, if they would vote
for Mr.. Arnell, the county aoould not be
rc-regiStcred! At Culleoka precinct,
the vote was several hundred for
Mr.. Arnell and Seymour and Blair,
5Chlc Grant and Coltdr did
not get single cote. We mean
to place the fact before the country,
the Republican party and Gov Senter in
PARTICULAR We propose to tell it in
Gath and publish it upon the streets Of
ASkalonh And we have confidence
enough in Gov. Senter'S honesty, Justice |
and sense Of propriety to believe he will |
place this matter in the right shape and |
upon the proper basis.
"Mr. Arnell's friends pledged them>
selves, by his authority, that Maury
county would not be re>registered, pro
vided the illegal votes were cast for Mr..
Anell. We call upon somebody to ful>
all the promise, and pledge ourselves to
prove that promise was made"

TENNESSEE \ POLIIICA FROM A
WASHINGTON STAND POINT.
The Washington correspondent
of the New York Horgd writes on
the Sd inst. as follows
"The intelligence of political events in
Tennessee, which has reached this Office,
is to the effect that Dewitt c. Senter. the
present Governor of the State during the
remainder of Brownlow's unexpired term,
has decidedly the inside track for the
Radical nomination for the ensuing term
Brownlow has hoisted his name at the
heSd of his Knoxville paper, and has
gone to work with his utmost energy 10
have him nominated. The significance
this shows hes in the fact that 4 involves
change Of tactics on BrownloWs mart
from what he planned while here. Then
Stokes was his candidate, and MAYNARD
MS second choice, Senter is identified
with the policy of removing all the exist
ing disabilities from voters. lie has not de-
parted from it Brownlow has gone to his
platform; the reason Of it is the desire 10
strengthen himself in Tennessee, as SUM
dry others of the delegation have stood
by Grant, with whom Brownlow broke
before leaving this city, and they control
the patronage Ex-President JOhnson's
iDroAds on Radicalism, in that State, can
now be seen, from the fact that Governor
Brownlow has taken up with Mr. Senter,
who was to have been the Conservative
candidate for Governor, and who was to
have thrown his influence in favor of
Andrew JOhnson's election to the Senate
when Mr.. Fowler's term expires Mr.
Seniors friends declare that the Brown
low men have become liberal for policy 6
sake. They hope good to the State from
this, but most people are skeptical of the
sincerity of this last and sudden change"
We don't know where this cor
respondent got his information
that "Senter is identified with the
policy of removing all existing dis
abilities from voters" by which he
means the DISTINGUISHED white men
1t will be news here, for he has
always pursued a different policy
and has certainly done nothing
since his accession to the guberna,
terial office which in the least
squints that Way.
