THE Nashville correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette telegraphs
that paper under date of the 10th
inst. as follows:
"Mr. S. A. Bowel, one of the eds
itors of the Tennessee State Journal,
the recent Stokes organ of this city, re"
ceived a written notice tosday to leave
Nashville within twenty-four hours. de
don't intend to so"
This is news here. If Mr.. Bo-
veil received such notification, it
was either a piece of mischief,
thoughtless but very reprehensible,
or was done to make capital for the
Stokes Radicals and against the
peaceable and law-abiding citizens
of Nashville. Mr.. Bowel is a gen"
tleman who is highly respected by
such of our citizens as made his
acquaintance during his brief soS
iourn here, and his treatment by
them was such as to assure him
that they are incapable of offering
him insult or indignity. The thing
wears a very suspicious look.

PEACE, QUIET AND hABmON1s
The Knoxville Press and Herald
says: "The quiet which prevailed
over the entire State during the day
of election was fit answer to the
charges made by our enemies that
the opening of the registration
would lot loose the foodgates Of
crime, and that the colored men
would everywhere be inundated
andprevented from voting. Never,
since the war, was held q more
peaeeable and honest election. We
are glad to see that, in the hour Of
triumph, the Conservative press of
the State, counsel the duty OF
every citizen to aid in the restoration
of harmony, peace and good will,
from one end of the State to the
other. We feel assured that our
Legislature Will take no actlon Dut
that which tends to the welfare Of
the State and the best interests OF
all the people" This is the re-
spouse of the Democratic and Con.
sentative journals throughout the
State. Never has there been since
the reorganization of the State
government that security to person
and property as will be afforded
under the new order of things in
augurated by the late election
Every man who obeys the law
will be protected in hisrights to thu

quiry, said it did not prevent q
State Legislature from establishing
a property or educational qualifca-
ton for voters. This idea is brought
out by the Republican. The RENE
dy it prefers as sufficient to correct
the evil complained of, is San act
Of Congress. But fearing some
difficulty in that way, a sixteenth
amendment is proposed as means
of rndoing the mischief the Re
publican by implication confesses
has been accomplished by the re-
construction acts in the South and
threatened by the fifteenth amend
ment to the North. The following
is the proposition of Boutwell's
organ:
at is objected that we cannot deprive
any portion of our citizens of the right of
suffrage already granted to them. There
is no ground upon which to base such q
conclusion but if even the argument
was sound it would afford no plea against
| the proposed change in the laws govern
| ing the right of suffrage. Suppose Con-
gress, during the next session, enacted
sixteenth amendment to the constitution,
requiring the qualification of ability to
read and write the English language
CORRECTIVE as the condition of the right
| of suffrage, to take effect in one, two or
any certain number of years hence that
might be agreed upon, and called upon
the different States to ratify their act,
what States or class of intelligent citiH
zens would object to the proposition
None whatever. The measure would De
universally popular, as atfording a check
against the control of the ballot-box by
ignorance and corruption now dreaded In
the future by our wisest statesmen"
The confession of an organ OF
the Grant administration that the
fundamental action of the Radical
party "if continued, cannot fail to
lead to very serious, if not disas-
trous results" shows the alarm that
| is felt in administration circles at
the prospect that the bulk of the
negro vote will be cast for candl
dates of the Democratic party. We
have all along told the negroes thai
the Radicals had no use for them
except to vote them for Radlca
candidates. AS soon as it became
evident that a majority OF the ne
| groes of Virginia had voted agalns
the administration candidates, tn
Washington organ of the Secretary
of the Treasury came out boldly to-
DISTINGUISHING the great body 0
them. The negroes were entran

AT the present time, the Demo
cratic party have elections pending
in three of the most populous and
influential States in the Union
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Massachu-
sets. The candidates for Governor
are Asa Packer in the first, George
III. Pendleton in the second, and
John Quincy Adams in the third.
The foremost State in the Union in
size, population and influence, has
that distinguished Democratic
statesman, John T. Hoffman, in her
gubernatorial chair. All four OF
these men were prominently menT
toned in connection with the Dem
ocratic candidacy fer the Presi-
dency last year. The nominees of
the National Convention of the
only political organization in ex-
istence opposed to Republicanism
or Radicalism, Seymour andiBlair,
were voted for by every man
in the nation, North, South, East,
West, who opposed the principles,
policy and purposes Of the Repub--
lican party. They thought then
that they were engaged in a noble,
unsectional and patriotic work.
They did not, no matter what had
been their party affiliations in past
times, pause to weigh the merit or
demerit Of q name against the val
ne of the thing they sought TO ac-
complish; that was (and we beg to
say still is) a return of the gov
ernments, Federal and State, to the
rule of the Constitution and the
general principles in which that in
strument, untinkered with by fanati-
cism and partisan folly, was found
ed. We did not then hear of old
Whiggery, nor effete and exploded
Democracy, nor did we hear Of a
new-fangled Republicanism that
was TO restore, in manner quite as
miraculous as the growth of Jonah's
gourd, "the era Of,goOd feeling" to
bring healing to the nation, to be q
panacea for all the ills that old par
ties had ever caused and prophy-
Tactic against such ills, imaginary or
real, in the future. The portion of
the people opposed in princi-
pie to the party designating
itself Republican, uncaring
for ante-war differences and
distinctions regarding measures or
men coalesced naturally and
spontaneously. Because they
we're not successful in the election
of 1868, shall that coalition of men
ofsimiIar principles and sentiments
be dissolved? Is it to be admitted
that it was only held together by
the cohesive power of prospective
official plumber? If these questions
are to be unwisely, as we think, at
this juncture, sprung before the
people of Tennessee, we wish it dis
tinctly understood that we take the
negative most emphatically.
We deprocate such discussion,
for it is useless as it is foolish. We
are for good feeling between the
portions of this people in political
opposition. We wish national poll
cies to be held in allegiance in Ten
nessee for an indefinite period to
come, until the State is rehabilitated
in her material interests. But be
lieving that the people of Ten
nessee understand themselves,
and that they are, as a mass,
guided by principle in the matter
of forming themselves into politi-
cal parties, we shall feel it a duty
TO announce what we believe their
principles to be, if the question is to
be raised. We exhort that it shall
not be prematurcly forced upon the
public attention.
