THE nomination of Judge Por-
ter for the Governorship of Ten
nessee seems to be one Of those
events which can only be likened
unto The pouring of oil on the
troubled water. He was neutral
in the Johnson-Cheatham strug-
gle, and although an old line Wing
and an old adversary of, and long
on unfriendly terms with ex-Gov-
Harris, yet he was an active sup
porter of the Southern movement
and Ex-Governor Harris conducted
him into and introduced him to
the convention that nominated him.
He is about As years Of age, in the
prime of his maturity, a ripe think
er, a fine LAWYER, an eminent Judge,
and of unspotted integrity. He is
said to be an able man. In per
sonal appearance he is commanding
being six feet high and of portly
person. No one seems to concede
him less than 10000.

seIf-preservation and a restraint
upon avarice and corruption which is
the surest guarantee against repudia-
ton. This was and is the most in
cisiye, clear-cut and positive declara-
ton in the whole platform. The last
resolution proposes to resist, only
by legal and constitutional means,
the enactment of the so called sup
Elemental civil rights bill, which is
certain the proper way to resist it.
So far, however. the resistance IS
deprived of some of its force locally
in the fact that neither party in the
State, or any newspaper, advocate or
favor the passage of the bill. Taken
altogether, the platform is an inn
provement upon the meaningless
platitudeS which usually comprise
such instruments in our section, and
would have been a still greater i'm
provement with the utterance of 3
few genuine expressions of nations
atty, and is commendable for its
brevity and its temperate spirit

JAKE THoRNBURG sticks to
Houk's back like Mazeppa to his
fiery steed. He proves by Mr..
Martin, of Loudon, and ex-Mayor
Rule, of Knoxville, that Houk was
opposed to the Funding bill until
he was offered the means of making
$4,000 by its passage; that he
made a speech against it because it
would add to the annual taxation
of the people some 100000. Rule
saws he told him he could make
$4,000 by its passage. Still Houk
held firm. Then a Lobbyist told him
they, the bondholders, meant TO
pass it if it cost them million
Next Houk voted for the Funding
bill, and made a speech in favor it
prior to its passage. He says Mr..
r lie lies. We will again tell Mr..
Rllc that when Houk spoke at the
Nickels House, in 1872, he denied
his speech made here in 1866 un-
der Grisham's guns. He was asked
70 divide time with one of our
speakers and said he would do so
if he Lad TO remain over a day, but

terday, no doubt there were those
who were disagreeably disappointed,
and those also who were agreeLbly dis
appointed at the harmonyand unamity
which characterized the introduction
and prompt passage Of the resolutions
which constituted the platform of the
convention for the State GuberDatOrial
campaign. But the latter were large
ly in the majority. A stormy and
excited scene was pretty generally
anticipated over the adoption Of a
platform owing to exis ing differences
of opinion as to what should be the
financial policy and keynote of the
canvass. II was sailing between
Scylla and Charybdis, but the steer
ing on the part of the Committee on
Resolutions was most skillful and
adroit. It's wit and wisdom was its
brevity. The philosophy of the apho
rism, that 4" the least said thessoonest
mended," was apparent enough in its
INSPIRATION. The same practical good
sense was manifest in the guarded
discretion of the language in which
1t was expressed. By no other course
could there have been safer assurance
Of more generally compromising
differences, and of more nearly salts
lying ali, in view of conflicting ideas
upon the intricate financial problem
to b. so.ved by the next Executive al d
Legislative administration. In this
respect, the resolutions tortultously
strike the juste n.iijeu, in obeying the
universal demand for taxation relief,
without impairiDg the public credit.
\ limit was set by the official seal OF
the convention 10 the exactions of
the inevitable tithe,gatherer, and
the sweeping reform and retrench
ment of the machinery of local gOv>
ernment, with as healthful modera>
ton of taxation as may be possible,
is yet an open question to the selec-
ton of lawmakers, and to the law
making Of the next Assembly. The
second resolution, looking to more
equitable assessment of taxes for the
more equitable distribution of the
burdens of government, necessitating
a modification Of the present odiously
inquisitorial assessment law, will
meet universal approval. The fourth
resolution embodies, in brief space
the whole tenor of the resistless popu-
lar uprising all over this State in
opposition to "rings" and 'combina-
tions" and monopolies ''forned for
the oppression of the people" and,
it might have added, for the enrich>
ment of the few. The significant
perroration to this resolution, op-
posing any increase of taxation, was

promised to return and finish the
discussion. This was the last seen
of him here. But a most menda-
cious account of the speaking was
sent from Jonestoro' to Mr.. Rule
and Mr.. Rule published it. In
that article it was said that an effort
was made here to excite mob
against him. The fact was that
Houk was first assured that he
should have a respectful and quiet
hearing, and the point we now
make is that Mr.. Rule is so situa-
ted that he may realize the utter
falsity of that letter which the pub
he here charged mp to Houk as its
writer. We hope Thornburg may
get the democratic vote and we
don't doubt that he ought to have
the support Of his own party.
Houk's speech here in 1866 was
the most ineendiary one to which
this people ever listened: He ad-
'ised the negroes to go the polls
armed with pistols, guns, axes,
Knives and scythes, and if a rebel
attempted to interfere With him, as
le then told them he knew they
would, to spill his hearts blood and

)arty would stand at their backs.

A Judge Turned DemagOgue.
The present action of Judge Gillen-
waters, seems TO us to be the most un-
blushing effrOntery of the day. Du-
ring the whole of last week he was alb
sent from his Jonesboro Court, and the
Bar elected Mr.. G.. r. Vance of this
town, as special Judge, and he presid-
ed until tie close of the week. OF
course the Bar and the country were
gamers by this eXchage, but Gillenwa-
tiers was elected for this very service,
and if the people of the District no
longer wish him as Judge. he ought
to resign. If they still wish him there
he cannot honestly or decently run
away from his courts. On Monday he
spoke at Morristown, on Tuesday he
spoke at TurkeytOwn and the remain
ing four days we presume the devil
kLows, for we do not. For Judge to
abandon tAe bench, leave his Courts,
and make political speeches over the
country, is one of the most indecent
exhibitions which have brought dis
credit on the State.
