KNOXVILLE, July s, 1869.
The canvass of East Tennessee closed on saturday
at Chattanooga. Tue results OF the past four weeks
campaigning cannot now be truly stated From the
general tenor OF the news from all parts of the
eastern division OF the State gather that the elo-
quent advocacy OF the liberal principles on which
Senter based his claims for support has worked
wonders among the ardent "loyalsts' or East Ten
nessee. 1t is estimated that under fair reg,stra
tion OF which there is now no doubt $4,000
votes VIII be cast IN East Tennessee on the
day OF the election. The heaviest radlca vote
In the eastern division was pOlled in August
1857 when BrownlOw received 27,761 votes. The
conservatives owing to number OF reasons, have
heretofore failed to poll over half their numerical
strength. But they are aroused and exultant now.
The registers in all the counties are friendly, and,
aided by the liberal republicans, they will give
seper fully 49, 900 votes being a majority OF u.s. 900
in East Tennessee alone The decision OF the chan
celor OF the Memphis district on the Boughner in
junction CASE granting a perpetual injunction by
wncn the new register appointed by Governor
Senier is declared to be an illegal appoint
ment on me ground that the Governor has no
right TO remove a register, Will at once be brought
for final settlement before the Supreme Court OF
the State, now In session. Az the matter stands
tie decision has merely Local application to
Shelby county, The reversal OF the decision by
the supreme Court Ia confidently expected by the
best legal minds IN The state.
The removal OF the anIriendly and incompetent
Enct fCAnn hup rlu
pleted Seventeen OF these gentlemen were displaced
by Governor Senter Friday last and their places
died by liberal republicans and conservative Union
men. Blank certificates OF registration have in
every instance been forwarded TO the new APP
potees, and It is understood that their duties Will
be fulfilled with the least possible loss of time. The
Stokes radicals talking about opposing the action
OF the registers with force, nut wholesome
fear OF Senters expressed intention TO use the legal
and martial appliances OF the State against any man
or men who "pck mp rOw'' about the new APP
pointments will deter these indignant leaguers from
carrying out their desires. Senter has the power
and the nerve and Will undoubtedly use the militia
10 Overawe the rebelllOus ''loyallsts" il Will be
Just retrIbution If the famous "BrOwnlOws melsh"
their bayOnets on the loyal leaguers. by whose
Vaccinations the State has been burdened with
such an expensive military.
At Chattanooga Senter struck'' his friends. The
entire white population OF that city, with perhaps
dozen exceptions, just enough to hold the ofnces,
are conservatives. From that point until the end OF
the canvass Senter will be In the midst OF friends.
In adult male population Of 10O,0 900 white men
fully %, 600 arc conservatives. The white men of
Middle and West Tennessee have never yet bowed
the knee to the Baal OF radlcasm and from present
prospects it is not likely that Stokes will have
pleasant time among the ''unrecOnstructed" 1t Is
probable that he viii be injured IN body nor will
the beak of the ''bald eagle" be closed but repet
non OF the Chattanooga 'serenade Will be frequent.
After the discussion at that place, on Saturday,
stokes dozen Of office holding friends attempted TO
get up a demonstration IN his favor. The result as
Stated By the special Geographic correspondent Of
the Knoxville Press aad Herald, was as follows:-

Of his famous stump campaign Of 1851 In behalf OF

dark days OF reconstruction" His policy" so
not changed, yet Brownow and his 'foyal" cohorts

Johnson ana insist that ne mas no influence and that
they feel repugnance to being associated, even by
implication, with the renegade and trator;" but in
the new condition Of affairs which will follow
Senters election ANDY" Johnson will be
power In the councils Of the State,
neglected. The conservatives Of Tennessee consider
that they have dept OF gratitude to pay TO Andrew
Johnson, and the first Legislature which assemblies
In Nashville after the election Will certainly elect
him to the senate Of the United States The walls
Of the senate chamber will yet reecho to his clarion
voice and the men who cowardly bounded him
during the last three years OF his administration
Will yet have cause to regret that shey provoked HIS
wrath johnson is good hater and always bides
his time. In personal popularity among Tennes-
seeans he Is head and shoulders above any living
man. His talisman, 1.-THE constitution" win prove
the raylng cry Of host OF ardent admirers, who
Will urge his claim Tor the succession in 1872 to the
position now filed by Grant. BrOwnlOw ia good
hater too, and Ulysses has reused HIS indignation
in the matter of appointments to once In Tonnes
see, and you need not be surprised TO learn that
BrOwnow will actively forward JohnsOns claims TO
the senate as q rebuke to Grant Whether "Od
Proofs" influence In the new regime VIII amount 10
much is question easy OF solution.
