MIR. MAYNARD.

This gentleman expects to secure a re-
election TO Congress by getting the colored
vote of his district. Is he deserving of
it Until 1884 the Constitution of Ten
nessee allowed free men of color the
privilege of voting. This provision Mr..
Maynard from his place in the House of
Representatives as a member of Congress
from the Knoxville district denounced as
''obnoJious and OdjOus." In his speech
against the admission of Kansas into the
Union, delivered April IL, 1S6O-(see
Appendix to Congressional Globe,
page POS; LIST session, SO Congress, 1859
go, Part. 4.)-referring to the proYis-
ion of the Constitution of Tennessee
previous to 1884, which permitted free
negroes to vote, he said it was
an obnoxious and odious provision.
He said that sit ought not at that late
day to be brought up in judgment against
Tennessee or any of her Representatives. -
He said Tennessee struck that provision
out of her Constitution Gin anticipation
of the bred Scott decision;" that Tennes-
see 'found out in advance of the Su-
preme Court that negroes were not citi-
zens, and treated them accordingly"
Will Mr.. Maynard tell the free colored
voters of his district that the provision of
the old Constitution which permitted
colored people of their class to vote was
an "odiouS and obnoxious provision 2"
viii he tell them that Tennessee Sound

THE RANKRUPT LAW.

In answer to many inquiries as to the
effect of the amendment of the bankrupt
law at the late session of Congress, Col.
w. N. Doughty, Register in bankruptcy
at Murfrcesboro, states that by the act of
July IA, 1870, any person may file a Pc
titiOn and obtain discharge on the same
terms that he could when the law first
went into operation, subject to the fol-
lowing restrictions
I" If any proof of deb is contracted af-
ter Jan. l, 1869, by the Bankrupt as
principal debtor are filed, the Bankrupt's
assets must pay fifty per cent. of these
debts or the discharges will not bar them,
yet he would be discharged from his
former debts; but the restrictions as to
his late debts may be waived by the ma
jOrity in number and value of such cred
itOrs.
Those who have already filed petit
tons and delayed proceedings on them
an unreasonable time to hinder creditors,
are notified that they are liable as for a
fraud contrary to the intent of the act"
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1870-09-27

THE Democratic State Committee of
Alabama, in an address to the people of
that State, set forth a phase of Radical
rule which is not peculiar to Alabama
The address says: "Many Radical mem
bers of the General Assembly are unable
to read or interchangeable of drafting a
law or understanding its meaning after
being enacted by their votes, and unable,
perhaps, to explain what measures they
had voted for or against. Judges are on
the bench ignorant of the plainest princi-
pies of law, invested with authority to
decree upon the most important rights of
minors, executors, administrators, guardi-
ans and trustees. Regents of the Uni
versity, Professors and Superintendent
of Education are without the requisite
qualifications for such pla ces, and with
out character or any quality which fitted
them for teachers" When important in.
terests are confided to such men it is no
marvel that bad effects are the result.
