MILITARY GOVERNMENT.

This is fast becoming a military gov
eminent, under the administration OF
President Grant who forgets that he has
DOTTED the epaulets of the General in
Chief for the more peaceful robes of a
civil officer Of the government. In al
most every State where elections were
held on the Sth of this month was seen
the glittering Of bayonets, and the tramp
of the Federal troops could be heard.
New York was thrown into a fut-
ter of excitement by the presence OF
armed squadrons in the midst OF her
peace-loviHg people; and dear old Vir-
ginis, the mnch abused. was startled.
a few days before the election, with
body of United States troops, who, no
doubt, was sent hither TO overawe honest
men at the ballot-box. We were not
troubled in Memphis with these agents
of the tyrant, for the reason that his
own party was divided, and hoped
rather than see one or the other factions
successful. that the Democratic ticket
should be elected. The civil agents OF
the government have met nowhere with
resistance in carrying out the enforce
ment acts Of Congress; and why, then,
the parade of troops in the time OF
peace, unless it be to remind us that our
master. Grant yet holds the reins OF
mower at Washington II IS burning
disgrace upon the genius of .our
government to thus, at elections, have
the rod of power upIiited TO
strike us as if we we're slaves. Notever
uuder the monarchial government o
England can the military force remain
in miles Of a place Of voting and where
elections are being held, and 1t cannot
be brought near until the peace IS so dis
turbed as TO require its presence. A
difficulty cannot be anticipated, as Grant
would seem to think should be done and
sentinels posted AROUND the ballot-box as
il to Keep the peace, but for the real
purpose u driving Democrats away and
giving encouragement to those Of his
own party to perpetaate such frauds
upon the public as suits their purpose at
elections. We hope 10 see a day of reek-
oning in this country, when such men
and their svls viii be done away with.

The Immigration Convention, to be
held at indianapolis on the 23d instant,
ia a move in the right direction, and in
terests Tennessee as much as the other
States to be represented on the occasion.
The Governors of Minnesota, Kansas,
Iowa Michigan, Nebraska, Missouri and
Wisconsin have requested. each of the
States to appoint four delegates, through
their Executives, and that one delegate
be sent by each Board Of Trade and
each organized emigration society. We
of the western part of Tennessee should
take deep interest in this, as well as
other conventions of the sort that
may be called Our future wealth
and prosperity must depend upon
getting a better class of laborsrs, and a
class of Immigrants that viii come among
us for the purpose Of settling and buying
the surplus lands, and developing the re-
sources of the State. The Northwest
has been monopolizing the immigration
to this country, through their energy and
enterprise, and we are suffered to Ian
guish for want of this very principle,
Our lands are rich, the climate salubri-
GUS or not severe, and the seasons long
enough for the crops to mature to per
fectioE. The object Of the Convention
10 meet at indianapolis is to hold out the
proper inducements to immigrants, by
some organized plan, to settle amongus
to prevent fraud on the immigrants after
landing in the country; to provide
cheap, comfortable and speedy transpor-
tation TO any Of the States that may
strike the fancy of the emigrant after
landing; and further, to see that he is
settled where his labor will find ayaill-
bility aud the work Of his hands fair
market for compensation. The rail-
roads of the country may aid materially
in the scheme, and should interest them
selves, for immigration, to them brings
business and prosperity. As to the ma
ture of the emigrants, or the class who
should be invited we would suggest
Irish. German Swedes, English French,
Italians. or any others that may
learn how to speak our language,
and will settle here with the in
tention of making permanent citizens
Emigrants have not heretofore been dealt
with fairly by societies and agents upon
FIRST landing in this country. Toremedy
this evil is to devise the means of protec-
ton to the stranger who comes from
abroad to settle among us, and who
brings with him his little stock and cap
ital. which, with his labor, will assist the
country on the great road to prosperity.
In 1880 Tennessee contained only pop
ulation of l57, 455. In 1860 it had IN
creased to l,7ll,763, and at the present
time the population isset down at 2,5OO'
900. The real and personal property OF
the citizens has increased apace with the
increase of population. With this addl-
ton to our wealth it can be easily seen
that before long we will be in a condition
to pay off the State debt, as each year
our taxes becomdlighter by the increase
of the means to pay him.
