THE Legislatures.

We hear of candidates for the
Legislature coming out in many.
of the counties in Middle Tennes-
see, and in nearly every instance
they declare for universal suffrage
That is the issue to make. The
Fayetteville Observer says:
"We notice that movements are being
made in different parts of the State,
looking to the selection of Conservative
candidates for the Legislature. The &C.
ton is commendable. While we do not
propose to interfere in the canvass for
Governor, but let the Radicals have that
matter entirely to themselves, we do
think the Democrats should secure as
many members of the Legislature az
possibls.7 A due regard for the welfare
Of the State requires it. Those who
can now vote, can, if they will, elect a
General Assembly, that will allow all
white men to vote, and also dispossess
the railroad and school fund thieves who
are now bankrupting the State by their
rascality." il' '-i'4.--l A''a tl' (

Implicated in the charges propose
to defend themselves. 1t is a
question now, of the people of all
classes against certain officials and
their favorites. 1t should not be
made a political question. We
do not believe that the mass of the
Radical taxpayers desire the
question of culpability for the
municipal outrage, to be made a
party question. The tax payers of
a different political faith do not
prosecute this scrutiny with
view to political ends. Hence, we
repeat, the article of the Press and
Times is without excuse. 1t was
literally condemned yesterday, as
we learn, by men of indiscriminate
views on political subjects. (
The insinuation that this investi-
CATION has been set on foot for selfish
obJects-as of the outs against the
lns-is, in our Judgment, without
foundation. There is not citizen
prominent in aiding the exposure
now being made, who is an aspirant
for office. AS for the men now in
place who admit their incompe-
tency, and confess that the city is
financially ruined, of course they
will not be returned. They do not
expect to be. Neither do they
seriously attempt to justify their
course. Therefore the defence of.
the Press and Times appears gra-
tuitous. We oppose that journal
In politics, but we shall wait for
future expressions, before we can
believe it is SO short-sighted and
iatuous as to set itself up at this
Juncture as a defender of the "city
ring" Let the issue of the August
elections be what it may, the people
OF Nashville will have another list
Of men in municipal power after
September. Politics will not con-
troll their choice, but capacity and
integrity will.

PRoCREssTNG BACKWARDS.


President johnson, several
months before the expiration of
his term, issued a proclamation de-
claring the rebellion at an end, and
that the laws were respected and
obeyed in every portion of the
country, thus restoring the civil
authority in every State in which
it had been suspended. Notwith-
standing this a citizen of Texas
has been tried by q military CONS
mission on a charge of murder and
sentenced to be hung. The finding
of the military court was sent to
the President for his approval, and
by him referred to the Attorney
General for an opinion as to the
power of the President in the mat
ter. The Attorney General decides
in favor of the legality of military
commissions in Texas because
during the rebellion Texas was so
deprived of constitutional and law
full government as to be subject to
military law; and, second, that the
right to hold and govern it by mill
tary power was not concluded with
the cessation Of actual hostilities,
nor with the Presidents proclama-
ton declaring the instruction at
an end. European despotism could
hardly go further than this. Here,
we see that the will of one man is
the supreme power by which a
State is declared to be under mill
tary government, and just as much
in time Of peace as in a time Of
war. In this respect Texas is no
better off in 1869 than it was in
1864-lS65 The New York E:c
press says President Johnson
Is President declared, after long
delay and due deliberation, that,
when the civil war ended, military
power over a State ended with it;
but President Grant, with his At
torncy General to back him, re-
yersed all this, and beginning with
Texas, which as yet has had none
of the benefits of being in the
Union since the war closed, now
proposes TO re-manipulate the State !
of Georgia. The proposition as
stated by the New York Tribune |
is that the Senators from Georgia, |
never having been admitted to their |
seats, and her vote for President |
not being counted in the Electoral |
College, she is not State IN the
Union, but remains an unrecOn-
structed State, the same as Virginia,
Mississippi, and Texas" The Pre-
sident, we are now told, will submit
the whole matter TO the Attorney
General for a legal opinion. If
MIR. Hoar should decide that State
is not q State in the Union, accord
ing TO the Reconstruction laws OF
Congress, then, it is thought the
President will, AS in Virginia, Mis-

The Knoxville Press and Herald,
which has allalOng advocated the
restoration of the right to vote TO
every white citizen of Tennessee, is
somewhat elated at the turn events
have recently taken. That paper
says "At the present time, it is an
interesting fact, and one that our
readers will hardly credit, that
Senator BrownIow and his organ,
the Knoxville Wing, have arrayed
themselves alongside the Press and
Herald and are, to-day, the advo-
Gates of universal suffrage. IT'S
strange, but stranger tbs, tbs true.

C0NGEDtING, WHAT CANNOT, BE
WITH HELD.

z ! u - ~
The Memphis Post of the 7lh
inst. thus states the position Of
Stokes and Senter ON the franchise
question, as defined in their speeches
here on the 9th: -
"Both are represented to have favored
the enfranchisement of the rebels. Gen.
Stokes planted himself upon the four
teenth constitutional amendment, which
only disqualifies certain rebels who had,
previous to the war, taken the oath to
support the United States government,
from holding Office. 1t prevents no one
from voting. Gov. Senter declared for
universal suffrage, and pledged himself,
if elected, to urge the Legislature to subs
NIT an amendment to the State constitu-
ton enfranchising all. This late decision
Of the Supreme Court at Brownsville, it
is thought by many Republicans, will
practically result in universal suffrage in
this State, and doubtless the views of
these prominent gentlemen have been
modified greatly thereby."If ..i-
The Post understands Stokes
very differently from what he does
himself. He processes to be willing
to let the Rebels" come in after
awhile gradually SO as not to en-
danger the hold of the Radical
party on the offices of the State.
The rule by which he proposes to
be governed in regard to restoring
the right TO vote to the white tax
payers of the State is simply party
necessity. The Post regards the
late decision of the Supreme Court
at Brownsville as having induced its
Radical friends to take very liberal
ground on the franchise ques-
ton. 1t is very likely that decision
had a good deal to do with liberal
Using the sentiments of a great many
Radicals. They have at last come
to the sensible conclusion that it is
better to concede with some show
of grace and magnanimity right
which they would soon be compelled
to relinquish.g The idea is finding
Judgment in East Tennessee, the
stronghold of 'Rebel disfranchise-
ment" The Morristown Gazette
Of the 9th inst. says: .Ia T...
"Some of our leading Radical fellow
citizens are allowing sudden and very
material change to come over the spirit
of their political dreams. In conversa~
tion recently several of this class Of per-
sons publicly avowed themselves in favor
of universal suffrage, saying they were
for the immediate enfranchisement OF
white people, ...a -'
The leaven is working. Several
months ago we told the Radicals
that universal enfranchisement
would prevail even in this State be-
fore a great while, and that they
had better concede that which they
could not long withhold. The
break in their ranks has now been
made and there is no telling where
it will end. Stokes made a fatal
mistake in not following our advice
and taking that cbute,

The Press and Times came out
yesterday under the new manage
ment in decidedly forcible feeble
manner in favor of Senter and uni
verssl suffrage. If it can not do
better than it did yesterday, Senter
may commence praying for deliver
ance from his friends. - 80
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-06-11

The Knoxville Wing says that the
Hon. W. F. Prosser, who was in
that city on the Sth inst, "repre-
sents Gov. Senter's position on uni
versal suffrage as being in full FAC
cord with President Grants, and
also, with that of Congress in the
late reconstruction measures of that
body"
