ton, and if that decision be favor
able, he is entitled to vote and vio-
lates no law in so doing. Ifhe has
been Confederate soldier, he
certainly does not violate his pa
role by voting after it has been ju-
dicially decided that he is entitled
to vote. He has submitted his ap
plica.ion for adjudication by the
legally constituted officer, and when
the registrar has decided the case it
is in the nature of a judicial deci-
sion and is final. If the applicant
has sworn falsely, he may be pun
ished for perjury, but if he has not
sworn at all, what crime has
he committed for which he
can be punished ? But the
Stokes organ does not propose
to arraign him before a civil tribun-
al: it threatens him with military
commission, court constituted to
convict. By what authority would
the State Journal try a citizen by a
military commission for a civil
offense, if an offonse be committed?
Does it suppose that Gen. Grant
would attempt this usurpation? We
beg the people Of Tennessee to re-
member that the Stokes organ has
threatened them with spies and in
formers; and that it has threatened
the paroled Confederate soldiers
who vote under the decision OF a
judicial officer that they have a
right to vote, that they shall be re-
ported to the President with the
view Of having them tried by
military commission for violation
of their parole.

THE NEW FRENCH CABLE ers

The telegraph reports that the
French cable was successfully
landed at Duxbury, Mass, yester-
day. The occasion was productive
of much excitement throughout the
New England States. Crowds of
people from Boston and Eastern
Massachusetts,, accessible by rail-
road were rushing to and from
Duxbury all day, and the quiet
little town was completely overrun.
The cable is in perfect order. After
the landing of the shore end final
test was made and every thing
proved complete. A grand ban
quet is to be rendered the officers of
the feet before their departure.
Many prominent individuals are at
Duxbury and Kingston, including
the French and italian Charges de-
Affaires, Mr.. Ward, of the British
Legation, and Mr.. Mcfarland, the
Solicitor of the company are at
New York. The land line from
Duxbury to Boston will be COM
pleted on Monday.
The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, in
his letter of July %, says of this
new enterprise:
"The remarked silence Of some'of the
leading papers of the country regarding
the Importance to our commercial and
political interests of the completion of the
French cable, is explained by the fact
that the success of the New York
Associated Press, and thereby the pros
perity Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, depends, to a great extent,
on the success of the old Cable in
maintaining its present monopoly of fur
niShIng European news TO the newspa-
pers of the country. The only thing that
has heretofore prevented the organization
Of rival to the present Associated Press
has been its contract with the old cable
to furnish European news for its eXclu>
sive use. The completion Of the new
cable will doubtless result in the eStab>
lishment of a new news association, and
thereby the business Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company will be some>
what injured. 1t is we'll known here
that all the leading New York Newspaper
men are intimately interested in the stock
jobbiDg enterprises Of the latter compaS
ny, and consequently are anxious to
maintain its present ascendency by keeps
ing in its control a monopoly Of the Eu~
ropean news"
The new cable will connect at
Boston with the Franklin and Pa
cife and Atlantic Telegraph Com.
panies, and our cotton merchants
and financial men may now expect
reports of the stocks and cotton

lantic line more frequent than ever,
and they will not have to submit to
the annoyance of having to do with
out reports for day or two at a
time in consequence of the lines
through Ireland and Nova Scotia
being broken, as they were many
times last winter.

THE sToKERs GROWING DEsPEE


The Stokes organ is trying a
little game of intimidation. It's
issue of yesterday afternoon has "a
word to the Confederate soldiers, "
from which we extract as follows:
Con the 9th of April, 1865, Gen. r. L
Lee surrendered the Confederate armie
to the victorious Grant. One Of the terms
OF this surrender was that each officer a
and man in the Confederate army was to be
allowed to return to their homes and were
not to be disturbed by the United States
authority, so long as they observed their
parole and the laws in force where they
may reside. Confederate soldiers OF
Tennessee, you gave your parole
that you would observe the laws in force
in this State.
"a law was passed in this State dis.
franchising you, as a punishment for
your participation in the rebellion and
for the purpose of re. aiming you from
the commission Of the same act in the
future. This was migrated into the
constitution by the vote Of the people.
This was legalized, whether it was just
or not, under the great theory that I'M
dcrlles State governments, that each one
has a right to prescribe the qualifications
OF its own electors.
"Yet thousands Of you have certili-
Gates Of registration and will vote in the
coming election. This will be a viola
ton OF one OF the laws that you gave
your parole to Gen. Grant to support.
Under the terms of the surrender, you
render yourselves liable to be arrested
and tried before military commission.
This is a plain statement of facts, and we
are informed, that in all cases OF such
violations Of parole, the matter will be
looked into and brought before the Pesi-
dent"
We have never known such des-
pcratc expedients rosortcd to by 4
political party as this Stokes faction
is bringing into play in this can
vass to prevent a full and fair vote.
In East Tennessee there are dcsper-
ate men armed ana banded toScIher

BOUTWELL, TO STOKES.

We give it republication only to
inform the people of Tennessee of
the fact that q successor of Alexan-
der Hamilton, of Albert Gallatin,

a letter; and to make it the occasion
to denounce the facile political
scoundrel, Boutwell,, who pemed it.

cess-believing that the future political
character and general prosperity of the
State depend largely upon the continu-
ance of the Republican party in

1t is quite likely that Mr.. Senter is re-

STOKES appears to have been
writing to Secretary Boutwell, soil
citing an endorsement of his posi-
ton, and he appears to have got it
at last. Boutwell, tells Stokes that
he is greatly interested in his sue
cess" But Boutwell, says nothing
of Grant or any member of the
cabinet, and it has been said that
Grant and Boutwell, have split on
the policy to be pursucd toward The
South. Boutwell, thinks it "quite
likely that Scnter is receiving the
support of members of the Republi-
can party" but that ait is certain
he is also receiving the unanimous
support of enemies of the Republi-

Mr.. Boutwell, greatly. He is sure
Stokes and those supporting him
"will sustain the principles Of the

organ parades this letter as an en-
dorsement by the Grant administra
ton Of the Stokes faction. Drown
ing men will still catch at straws.

The Stokes organ claims to "have
had it from various and reliable
sources" "from gentlemen who
conversed with President Grant,
Secretary Boutwell,, and other mem
bers of the cabinet" that "the feel

SHALL WE HAVE a FAIR ELEC
gEON?


We gave yesterday some extracts
from the Greeneville papers which
show a very unsatisfactory, not to
say dangerous condition of affairs
in upper East Tennessee, and from
private sources VIC have 4 confirm
alton Of what these papers have
indicated. This information leaves
little doubt of the existence Of an
organization of ultra Radicals, the
supporters ofMr. Stokes, to prevent
"Rebels" from voting in the Au-
gust election. By "Rebels," they
mean all who have been registered
by the registrars appointed by Gov.
Senter. There seems to be no longer
any doubt of the existence Of an
armed organization in upper East
Tennessee, whose purpose it is to
virtually take charge Of the polls
and prevent every man from voting
Who has been registered by a newly
appointed registrar. The men who
have entered into this league are
desperate characters, as is indicated
in the extract we gave yesterday
from the communication Of Thomas
J. Davis to the GrceneviIIc
New Fra. They will prob
ably attempt the work of intimi-
dation; they have already done 50
10y making public threats as TO
what they will do, and there is
little doubt that hundreds Of quail
fed voters will stay away from the
polls on this account. The freedom
of The ballot in East Tennessee, in
the upper portion Of that section at
least, is Il myth. Every man is
free to vote so long as he votes to
suit the wishes of the cabal that
rules that section IF it were rem
dcrcd certain that every man Of the
newly cnfranchiscd would vote for
Mr.. Stokes, We should hear nothing
of organised bands TO prevent
Rebels from voting. There was
no fault found with the registration
