be fondly looking forward to q good timain
the next Assembly, ventilating their beau
tifnl recerds to the admiring galleries aud
through the newspapers, viii ba dissppoint-
Ell. So far as this journal Is concerned, we
announce at the outset that we shall not be
guilty of the sin Of encouraging dema-
gogues, even on our own side Of the ques-
ton, BY occupying columns with their plat
itudes and common places. II it is ali the
same 10 the Press aud Tines, VIC prefer no
minority-we prefer no opposition" e
That the Bonner further said:
s'We repeat in all earnestness and sin
cerity that it is our sober and deliberate
conviction that it would be best for us all if
the next Legislature should be exclusively
Republican, provided it is decently and pa
triotieasly Republican, or as nearly 90 as
possible"
We have shown that in opposition to this
teaching, an overwhelmingly Democratic and
Conservative Legislature was elected,
which called the Constitutional Convention
Of 1870, that enfrsnchised the people Of
Tennessee.
We propose TO make one or two more ex-
tracts from the files Of the UNION AND
AMERICAN after the Stokes-Senter discus
sion of June 5.

We do not ask him to court "Rebel" votes.
His competitor did not. But categorical

would like 70 have:
If elected Governor will you recommend

are you, on principle, In favor of giving
to every taxpayer the right to vote?
! Win you favor the right of every man TO

/ with the Duncan letter before your eyes
and on your conscience?
You cannot complain that these ques-
tons are not fair. The people expected
Won would answer frankly yesterday. You
/ did not. There were too many conditions
in your speech. There was too much cir
cumlocution. In fact, you evaded and
! avoided.
Talk about the Chicago platform and the

shine, and you know It. There are many
! Conservatives who thought you to be more
liberal Cd these questions than your CON-
petitor. You did not satisfy them.
Your eqUivocal language will not satisfy
the Union people of East Tennessee. That
part of your game viii fail. Being neither
hoJ nor cold, they will spew you out oil
their mouths. Therefore we exhort you
TO talk Pl2iD.

THE ISSUE MADE.

Our report of the discussion at the State
Capitol yesterday embraces the points Of
difference made and argued by Gen. Stokes
and Gov. Senter, which show a wide and
very material issue between them. On the
franchise question" Gen. Stokes occupies
the extreme ground Of continued dlsfran-
chsement, qualified to the extent that the
Legislature should be authorized by two
thirds vote to remove the disquslifcations
Of individuals and classes, at such times as
deemed expedient.
Upon this position, Gov. Senter taxes
direct issue, by asserting distinctly and un-
equlvOcslly that the genius of free institu-
tons, the Republican press and the public
sentiment Of the Union party everywhere
opposes the continued disfrauchisement of
citizens; that the enfranchisement of the
people is in accordance with the spirit Of
the Chicago platform; that il Is IN accord
With the declarations Of President Grant,
aud his policy in Virginia and other South
ern States; that It Is no longer justified
either by reason or necessity; and that
while the Governor has no power 10 pass
laws, if be should be elected Governor, he
would recommend in his first message TO
the Legislature that that body take steps
for tho Immediate embarrassment Of every
citizen Of Tennessee. In the rejoinde:s
these positions were enforced by questions
and svoWals which served to make the issue
Enthusiastically plain. Both avowed their
purpose to continue the race till the election
in August.

On the 18th June we said:


"Perhaps when We wrote the other day
that Mr.. Stokes had exhibited wonderful
facility since the summer Of 1861 in getting
on the strong sid, of questions, the reader
unacquainted with the man may have
thought that we judged him har shly.
He is the most accomplished political aero
bat Tennessee has ever produced. A few
facts will suffice to show this. When he
made his speech here on the 9th inst, he
was willing only to re-enfranchise the "Reb
els" by slow process so as not to endanger
the hold which the Radicals held upon
the power and Offices of the State. Here
he was In favor of so amending the Con
stitutiOn as TO confer upon the Legislature
the power to remove the disabilities impos-
ed upon them By two-thirds vote. When
he got to Knoxville he claimed to be bet
ter suffrage man than Gov. Senter, who IA
vors the calling Of a convention by the Leg
islature to be elected in August to remove
these disabilities at once and with as little
delay as possible. In the discussion at
MaryvilIe, as will be seen from the report of
the correspondent Of the Knoxville
Press and Herald printed elsewhere,
Stokes went Rack on his Knoxville
speech by claiming to be
unalterably in favor of the franchise law,
and to stand by the sentiments avowed in
his letter of January last 10 three of the
members Of the Legislature from East Ten
nessee. He is a slippery fellow The
Radicals Of Blount county are very decided
ly opposed to allowing Rebels to vote, and
Stokes knew perfectly well how 10 talk to
them. When he gets into a county where
more moderate sentiments prevail, he will
likely repeat his Knoxville speech. When
he gets 70 Middle Tennessee, we shall not
be surprised il he puts himself in accord
with the sentiments of our most liberal Re
pubiCans He has gone into this canvass
10 win, if shifting his sails TO catch every
breeze will enable him to do So"
June the ., we said:
LIVER AND LIGHTS.
"To give emphasis to bis opposition to
enfranchisement Gen. Stokes has repeat
edly said in East Tennessee, wherever 1t
would avail him, that sooner than see the
Rebels vote be would have his throat cut
from ear To ear, his liver and lights torn
out and his body discovered Let the peo-
pie bear this In mind and see how Sweet
William will discourse when he reaches
this section of the State"
June q, We said:
"Ths Stokes organs are ventilatlng
'Senter's secession record, but they seem
TO forget that Stokes commended Gov.
Harris for his course, and for arning the
State, and for resisting Lincoln to the
point Of the b2yOnet,' and stated that he
had enrolled his name as volunteer to
resist his (Lincoln's) usurpation.' It is
about as dangerous for the Stokes organ to
attempt TO ventilate snybOdy's secession
record as it is Tor children to play with
edged tools. Better say as little as possible
about secession where Stokes record is 60
accessible"
We might continue our extracts to show
the course pursued by the UNION AND

A REVOLUTION IN TYPE.SETTING.-This IL
the age of progress. A correspondent of one of
our exchanges, writing from New York, gives
the following description of new invention:
EUREKA Just as the great Morse, forty
years ago. was developing his system of tele-
graphy in secret and alone; just as Fulton
created his steam engine in the solitude Of All
humble apartment, SO have to-day seen man
in New York who, for thirty years, has given
his life to one grand idea, and at last exhibits
the happy consummation of his labors-to wit,
the setting of type by machinery: Old, wrin-
kled and bent with thought; unable to speak
word of English; poor in this worlds posses.
sions; the inhabitant of an attic, and sharing
there he sits at this moment in front of row
of piano keys, sending a type into its place at
each touch, and reproducing the column of q
newspaper at the rate of six thousand Gems"
an hour, or in other words doing more than the
average work of four compositors. To describe
the machine in detail here, is impossible. SufA
flee it to say that it occupies not more space
than an ordinary bureau, is operated by
treadle and is simple in construction. Attached
to it is an apparatus for sjustifying," and ac-
companying the whole is a machine for dis.
tributing." Each Of these processes is per.
formed rapidly and correctly. The beauty of
the invention is its utility and economy-the
estimated cost not more than four hundred
dolars-a sum that will enable well-to-do COM
positors to own the apparatus, and thus save
wear and tear of both body and mind. None
have yet been manufactured for sale, but the
largest publisher in New York has given his
order for forty as soon as company is organ
lied for their introduction. 1t may be months
or years before practical use is made of the lit
tie revolutionary entirety-but here it is, the
successful solution of problem that has wor-
ried the minds of men for a century.

ONE METHOD OF REFoRM.-The Greenville

ONE METHOD OF REFoRM.--The Greenvllle
liountaineer says: 1t requires a two-thirds
vote of both branches of our State Legislature
to pass any bill making an appropriation of
public money. Our main hope for reform
In our State Government, and the relief OF our
people from oppressive taxation and reckless
expenditures, is, that better class of men will
be elected next Fall to the General Assembly,
from those portions of the State under Radical
control. This is acknowledged by the leaders
of that party to be a necessity of its existence,
even in South Carolina.
The House of Representatives is composed
of 124 members and the Senate of 81, and
whenever we can get one-third in either House
of true men, no matter of what party, they
will be able, in great measure, to protect the
rights of the taxpayers.
In the present House of Representatives
there were twenty members who were elected
as anti ti-Radicals, from the eight counties of
Greenvile, Pickens, Oconee, Spartanburg, An
derson, Lexington, Marion and Horny. These
twenty members voted almost unanimously
against every corrupt and extravagant measure
which was passed during the last two sessions
The county of Chesterfield also elected Dem,
ocratic members, who were unfairly unseated
by partisan vote in the House; while in some
fcated by small majorities of less than 100
votes
From these facts arises the hope we have,
that in one branch, at least, of our next Cen
eral Assembly may be found one-third of the
members who will steadily oppose extravagant
and corrupt legislation. The infamous Blue
Ridge Bill, which was passed at Al; the last ses-
sion, is case in point. This bill required
two-thirds vote to pass it. In the House, every
Democrat present, and four Republicans, voted
against it. In the Senate, the vote was twenty
two to six. A change of two votes in the SEN
ate would have saved the taxpayers of this
tax-ridden State s., 100000, or S45O,OOO year
for the next four years. which Is to be paid to
"ring" of spectators nnd lobbyists. The bill
provides for an annual tax of three mills on
the dollar of all the taxable property of the
State during the next four years to meet this
appropriation and we commence footing the
bill at cur next tax paying.

How TO QUIT ToBAcco-Hearth and Home
says the best thing to hold in the mouth is a
mouth full of cold water, renewed every few
minutes. 1t will take away the craving for
tobacco quicker than anything else and is
wholly unobjectionable. A pine stick Is the
best of anything to chew, but the objection to
that, and to anything that is chewed, is that it
over exercises and weakens the salivary glands;
In quitting the use of tobacco, quit at once and
not attempt to leave off gradually.
