Gov Sentcr and Gen. Stokes are
pressing the canvass of the State with
great energy Every day the public
interest grows more intense, and each
new appointment develops a more ex'
cited feeling between the contestants.
At first the torpi1ity Of the people pre-
vented anything like successful sound
log of the chances of either, but they
had not closed the discussion for East
Tenn. before the result was manifest
The friends Of Gen. Stokes have practi.
cally pronounced his case hopeless by
evincing desire to take fresh hold by
dropping him and running Secretary
Fletcher. The injunction against Bangh
ner, tho newly appointed registrar for
Shelby county (Nlemphis) was tried by
Chancellor Smith, who decided that the
Governor has no power to remove such
officer and appoint new one. In the
mean time Gov. Senter continues to re-
move the corrupt registrars to the un>
speakable disgust of those who desire
their evil work perpetuated. In nddi'

Bristol polled on Tuesday last 80
votes, eighteen Of them being colore',
Of these 300 were given to Walker,
seventeen Of them being colored. Thus
nearly ninety eight per cent. of the en-
tire vote was given to the knightIv lead
err who has broken the spear of that cor
rupt exotic who has so lcng violated
the will oe our people. Never was there
a better record than we presented on
that memorable day. On the evening
