Gov. BRowN has been in West Tennes-

to the Gibson county officials in terreting
out the Pickettsville murders A report

Pile Nowhere have We seen the causes
Of the recent disturbances in Tennessee
more clearly stated than in the words of
the Governor in the following paragraph
"GovernOr-Up to the passage in the
senate of tie civil rights bill, there had
been no outbreaks, riots or personal col
lusinns between the whites and blacks IN
Tennessee, nor had there been any mani
festations of autagOnlsm between them.
Notwithstanding all that the white people
of the State had withstOOd and endured
from 1865 to 1869, their sympathles had
been excited in behalf OF the negro, and
there was a general disposition to assist
in the development OF the unfortunate
race as manifested in school law, which
even Senator Brownlow endorses as every
wav worthy of the State. The public
schools of Tennessee, as the noted he
publican senator says, beng almost eX-
clusivelv sustained by taxes paid by the
white citizens. and with a growing public
sentiment for public schools, the negro
receiving, in an especial sense, his tull
share of the benefits OF SO proYldent
school law This | give, you as one OF
many, and the best of the efforts OF the
white people to am eliorate the condition
of the negro. There is nothing, then, IN
the relative conditions or positions OF the
two races in Tennessee &c excite antago-
nism. Ii aFises wholly and altogether
from the Vaccinations of the carpetbag
leaders and the endeaFoEs of the Repubh-
can majority in Congress TO force upon
the country the civil rights bill, The
passage by the senate of this obnoxious
measure, so justly, fairly and ably OBJ
jected to, aud SO severely denounced by
Senator Brownlow, created serious appre-
hension and alarm in the p2phc mlnd IN
our State, but no hostility to the negro,
who was by all classes, Republicans as
well as Democrats, regarded as the IN
noceut victim Of designing political
schemers And this state of the public
mind continued until the inoendlary
speeches made first in n negro conveu-
ton in Nashville, and afterward in Som
erviIle, Memphis, aud other points IN the
State In these speeches We had fore
of the outrages On white womea,

THERE seems to be a studied attempt
on the part of certain persons, whether,
interested or not we cannot say, to mis-
represent our financial condition.
Whether these men wish to make money
by depreciating our bonds and then buy
ing them up in order that they may get
The benefit Of future rise in the bonds,
we cannot say, but their conduct looks
suspicious. Tennessee, as a matter Of
sact has lower State taxes IN proper ton
to her property, or to the value of her
agricultural productions, than any State
an the Union, North or South. Here the
State tax is only forty cents on the hun
dred dollars or four dollars on the thous-
and dollars The whole amount of our
State tax is only one fortieth of the value
of our fam products If reduced to
fifteen cents, there would only be a saw
ing each year of two dollars and fifty
cents or the thousand, or twenty-five doi-
lars on ten thousand dollars-a sum so
small that it would scarcely be felt.
There is at this time a great scarcity Cf
money among the people, and very short
crops. This State of things is deplorable,
but it is to be remedied, not merely by a
reduction of the State tax, which would
afford comparatively no relief, but by
other and far more efficient remedies,
such as having u greater diversity Of
crops, sowing more grain and clover,
Cultivating fewer acres in cotton, corn
and tobacco, and cultivating them better.
"A great deal can be saved by reducing
our private expenditures The fatal ex-
travaganCe which has characterized the
country since the war; has been princi.
pal cause of our embarrassments. As
money Is scarce, and likely to remain so
for some time, let our people learn to do
without much money, by raising all that
they need on their farms, and then this
contraction OF the currency will not hurt
us so much. No country in the world
would be more prosperous than ours with
the properly diversified labor. To have
10 sell all we raise 10 buy what we need
TO live upon, is the true cause of our
financial mistortunes. The remedy lies
within ourselves, and does not depend
upon legislation. If the influential dem
agogues who are trying TO make the peo-
pie dissatisfied, would use their influence
TO bring about a thorough and radical
change in cur system, so as TO afford
permanent relief, they would do some
good, instead Of trying to delude the peo-
pie with the idea that q small reduction
of State tax, which would scarcely be felt,
would relieve the country. Away with
slch lew, contemplate demagogues as
attemptto dissatisfy tho people by a
perversion and distortion offacts, in order
ahat they may get into some little or great
office. The men who have the nerve TO
tell the people plain truths, and to point
the real and true means Of relief, onthe
peoples true friends. Some men are
ignorant, and know not what they do; |
some have not this excuse.

Nomination of Hon. VIC. Whit
thOrne.

The Congressional Convention which
met here Tuesday was full one, scarcely a
vote being represented by proxy. And it
was body of representative men-men
of intelligence and influence. The nomi-
nation of our fellow-citizen, Hon. w. G..
Whitthorne, is a source of sincere gratif-
cation to every Conservative aad Demo
crat in Maury, and of large majority Of
the Conservatives and Democrats OF the
entire District. The rejoicing among the
delegates from Lewis, Wayne and Hick-
man was fully as great as among the
Maury delegates. Gen. Whitthorne has
made the people of the 7th Congressional
District an able and faithful public SER
want in the councils of the nation, and his
reelection cannot be doubted The Pu-
lask Citizen and the Franklin Review en-
dorse the nomination, and promise the
nominee the hearty support of their re-
spectlve counties. Let us all work hard
for his election.

the Changers are appointing committees
TO investigate, the causes of land deteri-
Grafton and to report some remedy
therefor. This is a move in the right
direction, and if pursued with vigor and
success, will be far more advantageous to
the farmers than all of their proposed
political reforms. We trust the Gran

this matter. There are thousands of
