Mr.. Wisener said "we had met here
for the purpose of nominating Cover
nor, perhaps, if the Convention chooses
but at anv rate to devise some means to
beat Democracy He had been fighting
Democracy Al years. Didn't think
greater calamity could befall this cOun-
try than for the Democratic party to
come into power Give them both houses
of Congress and they will undo all that
has been done by the Republicans since
1906. You will go back into slavery my
colored friends This is easily done, all
they have to do is to increase the number
of Judges of the Supreme Court and then
have the Court decide all the late amend
ments to the Constitution invalid, and
procured by fraud"
This is a portion of the speech of the
Hon. w. ii. Wisener, at Chattanooga,
on the 10th ult., when he was appointed
Provisional Chairman of the Republican
Convention. Mr. Wisener is a good law
yer and a respectable man. He is no
novice in political matters. This makes
his conduct appear in very ugly light.
He knew, that while he uttered the
above, he was disappearing his oppo-
nents We are surprised at such a course.
It can be readily seen, that this was an
effort upon his part to hold the negro in
the Republican party, by appealing to
his fears. The Convention went back
upon the negro on the social rights bill
and Wiscner and Maynard were suGaring
them, with the idea, that they must vote
for them, in order to keep them from go
ing into slavery. We don't expect many
of them to vote with US, but we honestly
warn them that the white Republicans
of Tennessee headed by Brownlow are
dead out against them, in the Social
Rights Struggle. Now go and howl for
your quasi friends. -FTet'h5in Rerseac.

CB- Henry Ward Beecher in the Chris
tidn Union says, that Grant ought now to
call an extra session of Congress and
give the Louisianians free and unre-
strained right to vote against Kellogg
Notwithstanding Beecher stands up for
the South in this matter and the civil
rights bill, there are men who want folks
hung because they oppose their internal
and hcllish meanness.

MAYNARD said in his recent speech at
Knoxville that he chad not closely ex-
amined the Civil Rights bill" In his
Thorne Grove speech, a month previous,
he thanked God he had the manliness to
defend the Republican party and this
same Civil Rights bill. Here is some
thing of a discrepancy, unless Maynard
would have us believe that he defends
measures without examining them or
knowing anything about them.-Unaor

BUTLER -8cFI1RLAND- GILLEN-
WATERS.
The Congressional candidates had a
respectable audience in the old machine
shop last Saturday.
Judge Butler.
Judge Butler lead off IN tfIe discussion
saying he was again a candidate for re-
election to represent the people of this
district in the 44th Congress, and he pro-
posed then and there to inform them how
he had stood and how he now stood upon
the leading questions of the day He
had nothing to hold back-nothing to
conceal. What he was to-day, the gen
crous people of this district had made
him. They had stood by him when as
sailed on every side, and had cheered
him al along.
He took up the question of taxation to
show that the cry of extravaganza expen-
diture by the general government was
untrue. There was no extravaganza ex-
penditure nor ruinOus taxation The
hard working mechanic and farmer OF
this State did not pay one dime for the
support of the general government. He
was a tariff man because it enabled the
Government to discriminate in favor of
those who were least able to contribute
to its support, without doing violence to
the rest.
He favored National Banks, and eX-
planned how the people of MOrristown
could get one
On the subject of the salary grab he
maintained that the Representatives in
Congress at different times assumed the
right to increase their salaries without
the exercise of that right ever having
been questioned by the people. He had
voted for the bill because it abolished
the ranking privilege and mileage and
saved the Government more than a mil
lion dollars. But he had voted for re-
peal of the law when he found that his
people opposed it. He did not wish to
be misunderstood by any one. He was
a Republican. He was the same man to-
day he had ever been. But when his
party chose to bring forward measure
which his judgment and conscience both
condemned, and which would result in
vast ard untold evil and mischief to his
constituents, both white and colOred, he
had the moral courage and the man
hood to oppose and labor to defeat il.
He was opposed tdPthe Civil Rights Bill.
Was the only Republican Representative
in Congress who had the moral courage
to get up in his place and denounce it in
his seat. He had voted against it, and
would do so again. He opposed it be-
cause it would lead to war of races,
and in such conflict the greatest evil
will fall upon the colOred race. He had
helped to secure the colored race the
rights they now enjoy, and would de-
fcnd them in their possession. But when
it comes to a social question of for or
against the white race, he did not hest
tate to declare that he would be found
on the side of his own blood.

gTy@ The JHtop uni 1meyjcan tells how
Porter brought down the house on May
nard at GreeneviiIe. Maynard had closed
his haf-hour with reading the famous
Porter resolutions of 1861. The Judge
arose and said, in reply, that he intro
duced them and wac not ashamed of
them, as they then spoke the almost I'M
animOus sentiments of the Legislature.
He did not see how his opponent could
blame him, for the Journals would show
the name of the most loyal man in Ten
nessce recorded in favor of the resolu-
tons "'There he sits now, my friends,
the Hon r. r. Butler" And" said
Judge Porter, q am for him in this
race. / know him; he stood by me in
1861, and | intend to stand by him now. 3"
Maynard wilted amid the vociferous ap-
Plause that followed this happy hit.

Judge Gillenwaters.

This gentleman did not enter into the
discussion of the questions before the
people. He said the contest between
him and Mr. Butler for the present had
closed, and was transferred to McFar-
land and Butler. He made a pleasant,
pointed talk, and, although hesaid moth
ing about coming off the track, the in
ference was plain that he was off, or that
lie was playing treacherously with his
friends in not SHINING Mr.. Butler, as
they had been promising for him.
So far Judge Gillenwaters has been
gentlemanly and high-toned in tie dis
cussion of questions now agitating the
public mind, and all who have heard
him are compelled to acknowledge that
he is a man of marked ability; and many
sincerely regret his withdrawal.

Judge Mcfarland.

Mr. Mcfarland commenced by stating
that it was well known that he never had
been a politician. He had not sought
the nomination of the Conservative par
ty; but had complied with the wishes of
the people, as expressed in the Greene
Vile Convention. He did not hold, as
did his competitor, that he had rights to
office, but believed that the people had
the right to elect whom they pleased. He
was cOnscicntiOusly Union man, and
had expressed his views freely, and in
follOwgin out his convictions of duty,
had separated politically from his near
est friends; but he felt thankful that he
had not taken an active partin the war,
that no blood was on his skirts. He re-
viewed the history Of the country under
Republican rule since the close of the
war, and showed what vindictivc and
proscriptive legislation had done. The
changes made in the Constitution in the
interests of the cOlored people were rec
| ognized as fixed, and there is no desire
| to change them. There was peace and
acquiescence on the part of all the peO-
pie in the South. But the Republican
party was not satisfied, and after the in
| PRODUCTION of several measures in Con
| gress the Senate had passed what is
known as the Civil Rights Bill, and from
| the votes in the House of Representa-
! tives it was clear that the Republican
! party was committed to the measure.
| He showed also that Mr.. Butler, from
his votes, his lodging voting, and his
letters and explanations was in sympa
thy with the measure. Last June he
voted for the first time in a way that in
dictated anything else. He did that after
he knew a majority Of his constituents
were unalterably opposed to Civil Rights
! He insisted that this now is the vital is
sue, and that men in voting for candi
dates claiming to be true Republican,
were voting for Civil Rights.
He also reviewed Mr.. Buffers vote anC
action on the g salary grab, and showed
conclusively that Mr.. B. had got thu
money.
Mr.. Mcfarland made vigorous at
tack He has noticed the operations o
the dominant party during these Ions
years of misrule, and is in deep sympa
thy with the people in their down-trod
| den condition.
He will honorably maintain the Dem
ocratic banner, and if he does not in thi
race overcome Buffers majority of $50
votes, he will, at least, bring up SOM
very wholesome truths. The frequen
applause showed that Mr.. NJ. bad tn
sympathy of large majority of the PEG
pie present.

PROTECTING 4 STiTE AGAINST DOMES-
TJC VJDIENCp

TIC VIOLENCE.
The Presidents anxiety to promote settle
ment of the Arkansas controversy by COM
promise rather than direct interference indi-
Gates n wholesome dread of the violent and
dcspotic policy which bore such bitter
fruit in Louisiana. 1t would be espe-
cialy fitting moreover that peace should
be restored by some process of
mutual accommodation, because both con-
testants are clearly in the wrong Baxter was
not elected, but he holds the regular creden-
tails which legally entitlc him to the COVER
norshp. Brooks probably received a majority
of the votes, but he could not obtain an
official certificate of election. and has at
tempted to place himself in Office by trlchery
and violence. The recognition of either must
be misfortune as things now stand and
there is no way of avoiding 1t I'M
less the Legislature reopens the contest.
This it can very well do, and ought to do.
The law provides that when any person con-
tests the Office of Governor he shall petition
the General Assembly for leave to produce
his proofs, and vote shall be taken whether
the prayer shall be granted. Mr.. Brooks took
this course, and the Legislature denied his
petition in other words, refused TO hear the
case. II seems to be clear that the General
Assembly had perfect right under the con-
stitution and the statute to do this, and that Mr.
Brooks had no appeal from the decision. But
as the contest has not been formally decided
it can be reopened whenever the General
Assembly chooses to consider it,
Here then would DC the best solution of the
difficulty, if the parties promptly agreed to it..
d, @J,o 10 1iafo ugbt 10, Loo
the President to neglect of duty. The Con-
stitutiOn imposes upon him the task of pro-
tecting State against domestic violence on
the application of the executive; it imposes
upon him also, by implication, the response
bility of deciding which is the lawful excel
tive when two claimants apply to him, as in
the present case, for protection against each
other. He has no right to neglect this duty
to the detriment of the Commonwealth in the
hope that the differences can be compromised
without his aid. Three weeks ago Brooks and
Baxter both made formal demands upon
him for the protection against domestic viO-
lence to which the Constitution refers. 1t
seems to us that Gen. Grant has been as
much too slow in the case of Arkansas as he
was too swift in the case of Louisiana. While
he has been hesitatng and hoping, the quarrel
has grown into civil war. 1t is no time to talk
of compromises when men are shooting each
other If the proposal of the Attorney General
had been put forth a fortnight ago, it would
have seemed wise and timely. 1t was deferred
too long; and when it was rejected there
ought to have been no more trihing with
danger; there ought to have been no more
opportunity for bloodshed. If Gen. Grant
delays any longer, he only shirks response
bility which he is bound to shoulder.
