NASHVILLE, May 31.-The universal
theme of conversation here is the franchise,
and how it is affected by the recent decision
of the Supreme Court ut Brownsville. Judge
Shackcllord of the Supreme Bench, arrived
in Nashville to-day, and from private con-
vcrsation with that gentleman it is made
certain that the decision is as broad and
sweeping us the people Of the State could
desire. 1t was unanimous by the court.
Under the decision every man who has re-
ceivcd a certificate, whether from the county
clerk OF register, is entitled to vote. This
decision will expand the franchise at least
forty thousand. County clerks, under
whose supervision registration was con-
Quoted under, the first law, are getting
blanks printed for the purpose OF issuing
duplicates to those who have lost their GER
tticates.
William b. Stokes, one of the candidates
for Governor, has gone to Washington for
the purpose of consulting with his friends
rs to the policy of announcing himself on
the platform of universal suffrage and the
late Supreme Court decision has driven
Governor Senter, the other candidate, to
East Tennessee to consult his friends Is to
the situation and the policy best to be pur-
sued. 1t is evident that one or the other
must come out on broad and liberal ground.
The Conservative press all over the State is
opposed to running opposition candidates
either for Governor or the Legislature. Inc
universal expression is for liberal RepuDll-
cans who will go for universal suffrage.
There is lull Just nowin the canvass.
Both Stokes and Senter are measuring
strength and getting ready for the combat.
1t is evident that Stokes has nearly all the
conservative, moderate Republicans on his
side, with large proportion OF negroes.

We see it stated that there is much
"apathy" in this whole section of the State
in regard to the approaching election. We
hardly think this is correct conclusion.
There are causes operating both in the Val
ley. in the Piedmont region, and in Tide
water, which represS, to some extent, any
great enthusiasm; but we believe the result
will show ut the election that there is a quiet,
earnest, steadfast determination, which will
be as effective as any noisy demonstrations

stanten's Record.
A late Washington letter says:


1t will not be forgotten that few years
ago a statement went the rounds OF the
papers that about the time of the passage
of the ordinance of secession by the
State of Mississippi, Edwin NJ. Stanton
met A. G, Brown, then Senator from
Mississippi, aud congratulated him on
the action of his State and people; also
on his own action in Withdrawing from
the Senate, as be had done that very day
how he (Stsnton) hoped the SoHth
would be firm and united in the work of
secession" etc. But with that facility
for fslsehood which is the modern way
for turning the unpleasant fact of history
into "slsnder," Stanton and his friends
denied every word Of the story, and it
soon lost credence. The presence of
Mr.. Brown in Washington makes this
good time to revive it.
He has como here, with others, on
business connected with the reconstruc-
ton of Mississippi, to protest, l believe,
against the action of the Radicals down
there. The Stanton story was repeated
in his hearing day before yesterday, and
he was asked if it were true or false.
ne Tcphcu uuQuhhhcui1 tudt ~ WAS tIue
that he recollected it very well, and I
that without attempting to repeat the |
words used, be could say very positively
that on the day he left the Senate Cham.
Der for the last time, to go hoae to Mis- |
sissippi and join the rebellion, be met |
Stanton and was warmly congratulated /
on the action he and his State had taken. |
But it is. after all. useless task to ar
raigu the political or moral record Of any
one belonging to the Radical party. Itis
only few weeks since Mr.. Senator Hsr.
Ian wrote TO the constituents of Mr..
Chandler that he had. never known the
Hon. Zach. to take g drink Of anything
stronger than water When the time
comes for the re election of Dick Yates,
Harlan or some equally reliable gentle
man will say the same thing for him, and
vow that whoever else may have been
drunk or disorderly, Dick certainly never
was Lord, Lord, how the world is
given to lying"
