ANoTHER ZSsnE

A new issue has been raised By Mr..
u. G. CARRTGAN, who announces him
self a candidate for Representative
from Lincoln county. He declares
that he viii not take the test oath
prescribed in the franchise law for.
candidates. He maintains that, I'M
der the late decision of the Supreme
Court, when an Individual held an Of
flee, neither the Governor or the Leg
stature has the right or the power to
take that office from him, and says:
1.-THE Convention which assembled in
Nashville, IN the 9thot January, 1866, and
framed a schedule of amendments to the
Constitution of the State, never pretended
to delegate any power TO the Legislature
TO prescribe the qualifications of office
holders or of candidates for Office. and
never pretended to delegate n power to
the Legislature to change the Constitution
of the State adopted in 1885 in regard to
this matter, and all the legislation coll
corning otlice-holders and candidates for
office was unwarranted by the schedule of
amendments, or anything else. 1t stands
out to-day before U people, and espe-
cially our courts, as a most reckless act OF
Legislation, probably the boldest assump-
ton of power ever before attempted in
our State.
"The qualifications of Representatives,
are defined by the Constitution of the
State in the 9th section Of its ID article,
and also the ineligibilities to Office in the
10th section of the same article, which are
to-day ~unrepealed, either directly, or by
Implication, and in full force and effect,
and are the only law, in fact, Onthis ques-
ton. The IIth section of 2d article of the
/. Constitution declares each House of the
General Assembly shall be the judges Of
the election and qualifea&ons of its mem
bers, and with a conservative majority in
the House, no doubt exists in my mind
but what this will be the Interpretation
given TO that part of the law. It nno
Be otherwise without doing violence both
to the constitutional and to common .

The Nashville onion and Aa4elietni
very properly observes that " the citi-
zens of every county in the State
should have extended to them every
facility, thai they may exercise
the highest right of citizenship
in this eeuntry9 viz: the right
TO Vote; and it demands the appoint
.ment Of registrars who win perform
that duty. To which the Nashville
Press and Times fSESTER's organ1 re-
spends:
Every citizen of Tennessee entitled to
vote under the franchise law, and under
the recent decision ofthe Supreme Court,
should be registered; and the officer who
does not grant every facility, consistent
with the safeguards of the law to those
who are entitled 10 exercise the elective
franchise, is derelect in duty, and should
be at once removed. The privilege Of suf-
frage is toe valuable to be tempered with;
TOO sacred for any one to be deprived oft
on account OF unnecessary distractions
being thrown i'm the way. We have no
deabt, however, that ID is the sineeredesire

CRAVE CHARGES.,'

Under this head we published ON
Saturday last some Very grave charges
alleged against Stokes by the Harris
vile FJdeHe, all of which, in a note
to the Nashville Onion md AB1eriedn,
that person pronounced " an infamous
falsehood and a base lie" To this
Mr.. FRANK M.DUFFY, editor of the
TGete, responds by giving the names
OF nine respectable witnesses of the
disgraeeful and unsoldierly conduct of
STOKES, all of whom swear to the
facts and testify to the truth of the
allegations of the TTdette. In order
that our readers may Judge for them
selves, We present the testimony of
On. ROBERT PURsLEY, which in every
-rpSpeet agrees with that of the other
Gentlemen. 1t IS as follows: 111fA'
] Will Just state that Capt. Hathaway's
company was stationed here in 1865. first
under the command of Lieut.. White and
Lent. Robinson. The depredations ON
mitted by this commend were unpreee-
dented in warfare. They took and stole
from nearly everybody, cursed and abused
men, IN and children. A more COM
plete reign OF terror v existed in any
community. in regard TO those infamous
orders. which we're to take everything
they wanted and pay for nothing, this IS
my recollection at present. The verbal
order was, if any of their men were killed
by any Of the citizens here, to kill ten of
the citizens for one. ID was stated by
many OF Their soldiers that Stokes said on
1.-THE eve of their leaving Carthage for
Hartsville, hat the women were all Sc
lecsh women, and 10 take any of them and
DO as thew pleased with them. This is
about what Capt. Mcconnell CLEANED from
them and embodied in his report to Gen.
Rousseau in Nashville.

SHALL Our RAILR0AD ST0CK
A BE 60LD?

BE NOLD!
Ne say no.-We say no in behalf OF
the people of Memphis; in behalf of
the toling thousands whose money
boug and paid for this stock, and
who desire to hold it in order to have
some voice in the conduct Of our rail-
roadsZln order to have a share in the
administration of railroads that we
have learned by sad experience may
be managed to the detriment of and
/ contrary to our interests. We r op-
posed to the sale Of the railroad stock
of this city because we will not
assist in the building up of gigantic
corporations to be run in the interests
Of a few men who, like sPRAGUE's
few in Rhode Island, would shortly
show us that they owned every
thing in . the city the souls
and bodies of its citizens
as well as its real estate. We know
that the "ring" stands ready to gulp
down this morsel, this tit-bit, and we
warn members of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen to be cautious how
they are pressed upon by the plea-no
doubt honestly advanced by Mayor
LEFTWICH-that this sale of stock is
necessary in order to meet the July
interest of our city bonds. Other
means can and must be devised.
There are ways and means out Of the
dilemma into which we have been
thrust by the decision of the Supreme
Court. They must be exhausted be-
fore so extraordinary a measure is
even attempted. The Charleston
Railroad is a lesson that the people of
Memphis will never forget. It has
passed, with the sale of their stock in
Il, for ever beyond their control. So
it viii be if our stock in the Ohio,
the Tennessee, or the Little Rock
road Is sold. With our interest in these
companies goes all voice or partici-
patton in their administration. This
would be especially the case with the
latter; which, as it nears completion,
becomes more and more valuable to
us. We trust and hope that good cit
izens-and we have good citizens
VIII come forward, and with the May
or and Finance Committee devise
a way out of this untoward condition
Of affairs. We understand the banks
are in easy condition. Conducted
by liberal men who have all their
interests here, we believe they win
help if only- reasona security Is ten
dered. The July interest must be
paid. As the Mayor says, our honor
depends upon It. Yet, we say the
railroad stock Of the citizens OF Mem
phis must not be sold, if We have TO
issue scrip as security, three for one,
redeemable as per the contract Of the
city with the Merchants National
Bank. We must save the stock and
foil the ringp once more and we
must SAKE tbs credit of our young and
growing city, sorely pressed as II IS
from within and without. We are
assured that the city al be accommo-
dated with 2 loan by the hypotheea-
ton Of scrip as above suggested, on
four, six on eight months time, at the
usual or current rates of interest; such
notes to be taken up by the proceeds
ofa,sPecial tax for that purpose. If
his plan is feasible we hope it will be
tried, and at once. of the two we had
