senter and BrownIow.

by Virtue Vi MS uihCC DO SpcohcA VI wv
Senate, Mr.. Senter becomes Governor oil
the State rice Brownlow resigned, That
happy result takes place on the 26th Of
this month, which is next Tuesday, to
the qualification of large portion of the
people of our State. We rejoice that we
are free from the control of the devils
counterpart, and feel that we can not be
worsted, and perhaps cur condition may
be somewhat bettered by the change.
Brownlow, since the reins of government
was placed in his hands by force OF the
bayonet, has never failed, when an OPP
portunity presented itself, to persecute
the defeuseless people of his State and
to wreak his vengeance upon our dis
armed community. His last GROWING
act of iufamy was to place nine counties
of the State under martial law. And
that, too, in spite of the protestations OF
the people of those counties, and the
assurances of their Representatives that
law and order prevailed throughout these
districts of the State.
Why it is that the old palsied wretch
should delight in scenes of blood and
confusion, is something surprising to US,
unless it is to cover up and divert atten-
ten from the villainies of himself and
party. That mem have been
taken from Jail and executed, not
in accordance with the prescribed rules
of the law, we do not deny. But in
every instance they have stood charged
with the highest crime known to the law,
and in no instance was there shadow OF
doubt as to their guilt. These are facts
well known to Governor Brownlow and
to every one throughout the country.
Then the Governor with the constituted
authorities are arraying themselves on
the side Of thieves and dissatisfaction it
is with these alone that the Ku- Klux
have had to deal. If the law is made
quate at all times to visit punishment
upoh the gully and protect the weak and
innocent, no man or set of men should
be held to account for Riding the COM
muniiy Of the thieves, and protecting
virtue aud life from the hand of the as
ssssin. What Governor Senter will do
when be becomes ruler, is yet to be
seen, and,we have no evidence of what
bis future policy may DE, save that HIS
friends claim for him consistent and
mild record. We hope that be may at
oucs take hold of the duties Of his po-
sition and have the law executed not in
the interest of his friends and partisans
alone, but for rebels and radicals both
who should stand equal before the Law at
all times.
Brownlow himself has never been pbysi-
cally capacitated to discharge the duties
as Governor of the State aside from his
mental derapgement. which is hard
question, judging from his line of pol
icy pursued. He has been in Knox
vile nursing his wrath to keep it warm,
while Boyiugton and John Brownlow
have been doing the duties incident 10
the office. We are informed that Co.,
ernor Senter is of sound body, and hope
that his mind may be capable of mat
aging our affairs more satisfactorily
than did the Old outgoing imbscile who
carries not the blessings of bis people
with him, but their exercrstions and dc.
testations.

larry enough the Senate and House can
not agree on the proposed constitutional
amendment. The House refused 70 con
cur in the Senate amendment, and the
Senate refused to recede from theirs, and
now the Judiciary Committee has deter
mined to strike out that portion of the
Senate's amendment which allows the
negro to hold Office, and ask. the House
to pass it in that form. Southern SEN

any amendment which does not permit
