Governor Brown.

Correspondence of Courier-Journal.l
NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. 10, 1872.
Governor Brown seems determined
TO let slip no occasion for urging upon
the Assembly the demands Of liberal
progressive policy. First in his regular
message. and again in his inaugural ad-
dress, he expressed eminently conserva-
tive views; hoping that the tine had
arrived when not only the issue but the
prejudices growing out Of the late war
should be forever buried-when public
officers should be selected, not on ac-
count Of services rendered in either ar
my, but according TO the Jenerscnian
standard of honesty, fidelity and eapac-
itv. Gov Brown impresses one as a
. gentlemen Of decision, candor and good
sense-qualities not rated quite so high
leas genius whatever that ls), but far
more needfnl ia the makeup of an ex-
eourive officer. The Governor shows
abundant marks Of hard service In the
army indeed, his physical energies APP
pear - have undergone considerable
change for the worse Within the past
TWO years.

adopted an ordinance-looking to a more
efIectual collection Of the poll-tax, and
providing that, in addition to his other
qualifications, an elector on presenting
his ballot must satisfy the judges of
election that his poll tax for the pre-
eeeding year had been paid--otherwise
his vote should not be received. This
was left to the next General Assembly
after the adoption of the constitution,
TO prescribe at what time the law should
go into operation, and onethe 18th of
June following us71) the Legislature
pat the beginning of the operation Of
the act at the first of january, 1872.
December following the General s.As-
sembly provided that no such evidence
Of payment should be required by the
Judge Of any election to be held in 1872,
and postponed its operation till-Janua-
~, 1878. Friday the House finally
passed the Senate bill repeating all that
had been done on this subject by pre-
yious legislation, which leaves the ordi-
nance still in nRbibas.
