ocrats or Rebels Here is
one of The most outrageous exhi-
billions Of mob law that has ever
occurred in Tennessee, save the
similar treatment of the Rev.
Mr.. Neal near the same place q year
ago, and these papers which grew
SO eloquent oyer exhibitions OF
lawlessness in Middle and West
Tennessee, which the citizens, Dem
ocrat or "Rebel," did not encourage
and with which they did not sym
pathise, mildly term it "reprehen-
sible" and regret it because it will
make martyr of the man who was
mobbed and whose life was threat
ened by his Radical prosecutors. 4

DEATH OF HON. JAMES WILLIAMS

Intelligence was received in this
city yesterday of the death at
Gratz, Austria, on the 10th inst, ,
by apoplexy, of Hon. James
Williams of this State.
Mr.. Williams was a native of
Granger county, and at the time of
his death was between fifty and six
ty years of age. He once represented
that county in the State Legislature
but subsequently removed to Knox
vile, and was for number of
years the editor of the Knoxville
Post. He afterwards, in cOnnec-
ton with his brother, Capt. VIM.
Williams, became interested in
steamboating on the Tennessee
river. He removed to this city in
1854, and continued to hold it as
his residence until 1857. In that
year he was appointed Minister
Resident at Constantinople. He re
turned to this country upon the ac-
cession of Mr.. Lincoln to the pres
idancy, and during the war ran the
blockade and rejoined his family in
Europe, two of his daughters hav-
ing married-one in France and
the other in Austria.
He was possessed of an acute and
vigorous intellect, and was a liberal
and public spirited citizen, and in
private life much esteemed by his
friends. He welded pen of force,
and besides his contributions to
current political literature, was the
author of a work in defense of the
system of slavery in America. The
news of his death will carry regret
to large circle of friends.

THERE is general opinion that
Mr.. Stokes is pipe-laying for Q
bolt on the basis of expected Con-
servative support, in the event he
is defeated for the gubernatorial
nomination. His speech in this
city is supposed to give countenanct
to this view. We are not prepared
to say whether he is or not. The
contest for the coveted prize seems
TO be growing animated. His most
formidable rival Gov. Senter has
made no sign that he will breaI
ranks in any contingency. This is
as much as we know of the ques.
ton.

GRANT finds one of appointee:

GRANT finds one of his appointees
in a rather awkward fix. 1t APP
pears that the ex-Rebel Grove,
of Alabama, who was confirmed
Governor Of New Mexico, cannot
take the test oath, and so cannot
assume the duties of his Office till
Congress relieves him from this
disability by direct legislation.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette says the
President desires to retain him, and
will take the opinion of the Attor-
ney General whether, under The
circumstances, he can send person
to fill the Office without displacing
Grove. If he can do this. he is in.
clined to offer the place to DIR
Bard, of the Atlanta Ne,O Era. il
the Attorney General decides thai
the Office cannot be filed without
suspending Grove, it is probable
Gen. Mitchell will be undisturbed
till Congress meets next winter.

RADICAL TREATMENT OF OUFRA
GFS RY RADICALS

The Press and Times denounces
the mobbing of the Rev. Mr.. Smith
by Radicals in BIount county, as
Gan utterly inexcusable piece of fol
ly and barbarity." 1t regrets this
mObbing Of a quiet aud inoffensive
man, not because it was violation
of law, but because it does "not
want to see him made a martyr by
the action of his enemies" There
is no demand that the men engaged
in this piece of ''barbarity'' be ar
rested and punished There is no
demand that the majesty of the
law be asserted and upheld in the
community where this diabolical
outrage occurred. The only regret
expressed is that it will make
martyr of the man whose very life
was put in jeopardy, not because
he was great criminal, for he had
committed no crime against the
laws of his country, but was OBJ
noxiOus to the Radicals of BlOunt
for the reason that he is a minister
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South. For being such, he was not
only not allowed to preach in
Blount county, but dubbed and
whipped with switches in the most
brutal manner. The leading Radi-
cal organ in East Tennessee mildly
terms this conduct "reprehensible,"
and the Radical organ here re-
grets it mainly because it will
make a martyr of this object
of Radical savage brutality Is
there a man in all this broad land
who is not entirely satisfied that if
this infamous outrage had been
perpetrated upon minister of the
Methodist Episcopal Church North
here in Middle Tennessee, these
papers would have howled for
swift visitation Of vengeance upon
the Offenders They insist most
pertinaciously that the perpetra-
tors of outrages in Middle or
West Tennessee shall be hunted
down and punished with the
utmost rigor the law will sane

We are daily confronted with
the evidence that the demOraliza-
ton prevailing in the Radical party
in this State has so disturbed the
Press and Times as to dull its
usually acute wits. All will admit
that if one so familiar with the
modern system of test-oaths has
become so Obtuse as not to know
the iron clad oath" when it sees
it, the fitness of things is out
of joint
The oath prescribed by the con-
ventior of January, 1865, called
under the auspices of Andrew
Johnson, and whose action was in
spired by him, was not an oath in
tended to inhibit men from voting
on account of acts done in the re-
bellion. On the contrary, its sur
plus there was n good deal of iD
verbiage was an invitation TO men
who had sympathized with the
Confederate movement, to renounce
such views, and on tho basis Of
renewed allegiance to the govern
ment, reorganize the State. 1t
would have been an absurdity for
men who did not desire such re-
organization under the Federal
constitution to have voted and it
was properly made condition that
they should avow such desire un-
der the sanction of an oath. They
were solicited to do so, and the door
was thrown open to all. Therefore
the election of February p, and
March 4, 1865, was in every sense
of the word free election"
The "iron-clad oath is to be
found on the 18th page Of the stat.
utes of 1861. IL forbids and ex-
cludes from the polls every man who
cannot or will not swear, that he
never sympsthized with or aided the
Rebellion. 1t was intended TO pre-
vent men Of this class from offer
ing TO vote. 1t does do so.
Therefore, elections now are not
free. If the oath, in substance, Of
January, 1865, was to day the only
bar to the ballot box, the great
mass of the people now disiran-
chised would be voters. 1t was
not intended TO be retroactive. 1t
is not bill of pains and penalties
for past acts or opinions. The
oath now in force is.
This brief analysis, will, we
hope, serve to illumine somewhat
the darkness which seems to have

settled on our neighbor's mind and
memory. Andrew Johnson restored
the State on the basis of free cleo
tons. The crew that subsequently
obtained possession of the State
government undid this work and
erected the present despotism.

The character of much OF the
legislation of the day may be in.
ferred from the fact that the Radi-
cal Governor of Illinois has found
it necessary to veto large number
of the bills passed by the Legisla'
ture of that State. Gov. Hoffman
of New York, has had to do the
same thing, having already sent in
twelve vetoes. The Radicals have
majorities in the Legislatures Of
both these States.

THE New York Journal Of Com
merce says the whole cause of the
falling out between Senator Ross

sympathy with the rebellion, was
selected and placed in position over
the heads of the very men who
had carried the State for Grant
