TO THE PEOPLE.
From the Tobacco Leaf.

From the Tobacco Leaf
II is we'll known that unmindful Of
the rule which oppressed us during
the four''years prior to 1869, forgetting
the burden of debt laid upon us by an
irresponsible government and the eX-
actions to which force compelled us to
submit, strangely forgetting the long
and painful struggle by which we
emancipated ourselves, We are drifting
at a rapid pace, solely by our OWE di-
visions, back into the clutches of the
very party which inaugurated and car
ried out that system of oppression, by
which q state was bound and handed
over to merciless plumber, n people
DISTINGUISHED, and deprived of civil
rights held by a tenure as old as An
glo-SaxOn civilization, a defenceless
people insulted, stripped and bruised.
1t is hoped that there could never be
q repetition of chapter so full of
horrors; but there IS surely enough IN
the very thought of yielding the State
again to its authors, to make US pause
and deliberate. Grant that much has
been done in the past four years which
ought not have been done, and much
left undone which ought 10 have been
done, II IS well TO enquire whether we
cannot unite and retain power, in the
State, working out for ourselves need
ed reforms. 1t is certain that we have
already placed the finances of the
State on a satisfactory basis, and lift
ed up the fallen credit of Tennessee,
while peace, law and order reign where
all was anarchy, and crime.
If there are reforms needed in the
assessment and revenue laws, and in
the cost of criminal prosecutions, sure
" the people know what they are and
with the intelligence and honesty of
the State in their ranks, they are,
surely competent 10 the task of ap-
plying needed remedies-Or shall we
seek reform from Ignorance, and puri-
fcation from those who were the au-
thors of great abuses!
Unfortunate discussions, however,

CHANCELLOR LIVINGSTON
Amid the rush for the minor offices
and the din of solicitation that meets
us wherever we go, we hear very
little concerning n very important
Judicial station-that OF Chancellor
which is to be supplied at the Au-
gust election. Henry j. Livingston,
as is well known, now holds the
place by appointment. He gave up
lucrative practice to accept it, and
he has now been in Office long C.
nough to familiarise himself per-
fectly with all its details, and to be-
come conversant with the history
of the litigation now pending in his
Court. He has given universal sat
isfaction, and his decisions have
stood the test of Supreme Court
scrutiny as well as those of any
Chancellor in the State. His indus
try, firmness, incorruptibility and
capacity are conceded by all the pro-
fession in his circuit, while the pu-
rity of his private life, and the quiz
ct dignity of his general bearing,
have won for him the respect of all
classes of society. Herein we find
the true secret of the silence that
has heretofore prevailed upon the
subject of the Chancellor's race in
this district. 1t can be interpreted
in but one way. The people and
the bar have in their thoughts uni
ted upon the present incumbent,
and If this sentiment is permitted
to have its proper force, Chancellor
Livingstone will not have any COM
petitor. We do not know that he
has any anxiety in regard to the
matter, but of course he would pre-
fer not to engage in any canvass for
the position. This is not in accord
ance with his tastes, and besides
would interfere with the heavy du-
ties that dcvolye upon him. No
better or more faithful public scrv-
ant can be found, and this is the
opinion of nineteen-twentieths of
the people. In saying this much of
the present Chancellor, we mean no
reflection on any other present or
prospective aspirant for the place
We are glad to know that there are
many lawyers in the circuit who
are in every way qualified for the
high position, but professional cour-
tesy (Which is higher among the
members of the bar than in any 9TH
er calling) will, under the circum-
stances, doubtless induce them to
concede the track to Chancellor L.
In any event the people arc certain
to eEdorse him.

serves serious attention. jackson
ought to be represented on the pod
