The Governor of Tennessee is beginning to
feel the force of the state of things which ex
lists in that State as the legitimate result Of
his own detection from the Republican party.
In his well-mcant endeavors be finds no sup
port from his Democratic backen who used
him only too successfully to break down the
Republican majority in that State. Misrule,
terror and violence has reigned ever since.

reference TO him but be confined to reply
to the anonymous contributor. To my as,

refused this. In some countries proprietors
of public journals are required by law to
allow all persons assailed by them to make
defense through their columns. Though
there is NO such statute in the United States,

editors, to open their columns, for defense
to persons whom they permit to be assaulted.
In all civilized countries, and as far as
know in lbarbarous ones, an Opportunity is
