The Facts OF the Case.

Governor Senter of Tennessee, is unable
to satisfy either OF the adyocates or the op-
ponents Of more Congressional interference
with the State of Tennessee, but he promises
that if Federal soldiers are placed under his
control he will maintain peace. The truth
OF the case seems to be that Tennessee is in
disturbed and distracted condition, the re-
suit not of political feeling, but Of the gene
raj demoraliza!ion caused by the war, the
numerous private feuds which survived it,
and the anomalus condition OF society dur
ing the social and political changes OF the
last few years. Whatever the number OF
lawlcss acts, the ''rebel" suffers as often as
the "loyal" man. Both classes enjoy prac-
tical immunity from the consequences OF
crime; both classes make laws and break
Them, and both classes, with few exceptions,
repudlate any further medlling by Congress
win the concerns Of their State.
The accounts which come 10 us from
Washington of the condition OF Tennessee
are too highly co!orcd 10 I've worthy of con-
hIcncc, but the following extracts from the

Ecentng Post appear to contain the gist Of
the facts of the case:

tie lacLS OF Cne case:
II have endeavored to give fairly the state
ment Of each side, that it may be seen how
difficult it is for one at the North to under
stand orr real condition. So thoroughly par
tisan, on one side or the other, are most of the
reports sent from the State, that we sometimes
despair of being correctly understood. Now,
though it would be very unsafe to follow
either Of the above statements, neither one is
altogether untrue. That in Tennessee, Union
men, or Northern men, or colored men, as q
class. are unsafe in life or property Is utterly
untrue That they are ever murdered or out
ragged. as belonging to any of these classes, is
either very foolish or a very wicked false
hood Thus, u statement has been made on
the floor of Congress that all the Union men
in one of the districts Of this county had been
notified 10 leave, and that one had been muir
dered already. Itwas false, OF course. But
when we are told that human life in Tennessee
is perfectly or even tolerably protected by the
law, one cannot but demur. Murders and out
RACES arc notinvented by politicians, though
their causes may be misstated for party ends.
That these occurrences have been unpleasant
ly frequent during tie past few months s no
torlous, and our people have depl lorcd 1t. 1t
Is matter which affects all classes and oil
| parties. The trouble does not arise from any
rebelious spirit, as our Radicals delight to be-
leve, but lies far deeper than that 1t can
be traced back to the days of slavery, when
the law protected property, but left life to the
individual. Il Moreover, 1t can
not be denied that there is in certain parts of
the State lawlcss, brutal element, and in
some cases gross outlnges have been commit
ted though, no doubt, they have been greatly
exaggerated. The evils Of this unsettled state
of society have fallen upon all classes alike,
though undoubtedly the negroes, as the most
helpless, have suffered the most. But that it
is unsafe for them to live in the country, is
simply ridiculous They swarm in and about
our cities and frequent the vest haunts of
vice, while many of our country people find it
almost impossible to obtain household ser
wants. These facts are notorious here. None
deplore these outrages more sincerely than
the citizens themselves, and If the United
States troops are really needed In any locality
to assist tho civil authorities, they will be heart
lily welcomed by the great mass of the peoplel
1t is no kindness to the Southern people to
conceal any of these facts Indeed, if this ap-
prchension of Congressional interference
arouses each community to the Importance
of protecting life by law, and of repressing
lawlessness ofevcry kind, it will not be with
out some good effect"
What Tennessee needs is to he let alone.
Necessity and seli-interest will, in time, bring
about temperance Of act and a law
abiding spirit more lasting and sincere,
though longer in coming, than the tranquili-
ty which reigns under the rule of the Win
chester rifle.

To some of these amounts no objection
can be made; but what will he said of the
$40. 900 paid for investigating the condition
OF the Third Congressional District the
$4,000 for printing, the $4,000 for the
Statehouse, and their like?
Grouping the different amounts together,
it is found that the estimates for the year,
under the specified heads, were SIT 800, and
the actual expenditures were sl,296, 1872.
The expenses of the year were more than
HALF MILLION DOLLARS in excess OF the
amount which Comptroller-Gene NeagIe
''deemed sufficient" for the expenses of the
year.
Is there nec;led any stronger argument for
the CITIZENS PARTr-for RErRENcnNEsr and

Promise and Performance.

Ii the financial secrets OF the present
State Government could now be laid bare,
as, at no distant day, they assuredly will be,
the people would with one voice demand
that waste and extravaganza should cease,
and that our public affairs should be con-
Quoted, Us of old, with honesty, economy
and efficiency. In due time the transactions
of the Land Commission, OF the Financial
Agency at New York, OF the Bureau OF Ag-
ricuItural Statistics, and other kindred insti-
tutions, will be exposed and explained, and
then only will it be known how far the State
has been plunged into debt by these three
years of reckless spending. The facts and
figures whic:. the State officials make pub
lie, and whose correctness cannot be gain
said, arc interesting reading, all the same;
for even they show that the one great need
of the State-for merchant and mechanic,
artisan and laborer, poor and rich, gentle
and simple-is that honest, intelligent, and
frugal government, which can only be OBJ
tanned by the triumph at the polls OF the
CITIZENS reform PARTY.
In his report submitted to the Legislature
in October 81, 1868, the Comptrol!cr-Gene-
raj, himself Radical, submitted his esti-
mate of the amount of money which would
be needed for CARRYING on the State Govern
ment during the year ending October 3lst,
1862 This estimate was carefully prepared,
and was "deemcd sufficient (bythe Comp
"troller-GcneraD to pay the current expenses
''of the State Government" Comparing this
estimate of what was deemed sufficient"
for the year ending October 81, 1869, with
the amount actually spent during that pc
Rod, the taxpayers may see for themselves
how far the present government fulfls its
promises, and husbands the resources Of the
