Hon. HENRY G. SNoDGBAss, the
Democratic nominee for Congress
in the Third District, was invited
to meet Hon JOHN H. MCDOWELL
in Joint debate at an Alliance rally
at Sparta last Saturday, but Mr..
MCDOWELL would only agree to a
division of time on condition that
Nh. SNoDGRAss should make no at
tack on the Republican party. Mr..
MCDOWELL has imposed this con-
dition before, the excuse given is
that it would hurt the feelings of
Republican members Of the order.
He stated that the Alliance was
composed of Republicans, Green
hackers, Democrats, and Prohibi-
tionists, and a straightout Demo
cratic speech would create confu-
sion and dissatisfaction in the or
der, and as president Of the order
he would not permit SNoDGRAss o.
any other man to make a speech
which would offend those who were
not Democrats. Mr.. SNoDGBAss
refused to have any one dictate
what kind of a speech he SHOULD
make, but stated that on October
20 the Democrats would have Z
grand rally and barbecue, and al
citizens of White and other coun
ties are invited, "and especially
you, Mr.. MCDOWELL. We believ,
in fair debate with an equal diyis
ion Of time"
Is itnot rather strange for a MAJ
who claims to be a Democrat, t,

4 nuESTLnN OF FACT.

- - ~ @3f' . a w - - - - ~ -
There is some conflict of opinion
as to the constitutionality of the act
Of the general assembly empower
ing the Governor to call out the
militia whenever he thought their
services might be required to assist
the lessees Of convicts at Briceville
to suppress riot or rebellion. The
st. Louis Republic takes the gen.
eral assembly to task for Sinking
its responsibility in the matter and
says:
Governor BUCHANAN, of Tennessee, is
now placed in a position which will test
at once his ability and his Democracy.
Confessing that the lawunderw which con-
Yicts are peddled out to take the place
Of citizens Of the State in the employ
ment Of corporations is unjust and Vi
cious, an incompetent general assembly
has simply confessed its own cowardice
and adjourned.
There is some reason to believe that
this was partly due to unfriendliness to
Governor BUCHANAN himself-to the de-
sire Of the corporations not only to re-
tain the law as it stands, but to put him
in a position where, no matter what he
does, he viii be exposed to attack. Fol
this same body, failing to do anything
whatever to lessen the evils of convict
peddling, passed an act purportiug tC
authorize him to use the militia bayonet
in support of the system against the cit
liens Of the State in any conflict which
may arise with the convict corporations
As the act does not OF itself order the
militia into service, there is every rea
son to believe it illegal under the con
stitutional provision requiring a specia
act Of the general assembly for that pur
pose Such a constitutional provision
can not be suspended by any general en-
aetment purporting to give the Govern
or a power expressedly withheld from
him by the Constitution; and it. as tn
telegraphic reports give it, this act doe
fail to order the militia into service, an,
does pmport to give the Governor pow
er, it is void, for the Constitution q
Tennessee is explicit. It says
The militia shall rot be called int
service except in case Of rebellion or il
vasion, and then only when the genera
assembly shall declare by law that th
public safety requires it. "
There is no cease of rebellion or invi
sion existing in Tennessee, and exceT
one does exist the militia is not to be o.
dered out. When there is such cas-
{ the general assembly can by law declaI
that the public safety requires the u,
e Of the bayonet and can order its use a
cordingly, but it can not say that for
year, for ten years, for twenty years, {

The result of the fight before the
people Of Mississippi on the SEN
atorial contest confirms what was
all the time evident that the adyo-
Gates of the sub-treasury heresy
were not in it. All the counties
have held their primaries, and Sen
ators GEORGE and WALTHALL will
be returned to the United States
Senate by vote Of more than two
to one. Senator WALTHALL was
not a candidate for reelection, and
the prospects Of Major BARKsDALE,
who is very popular, for securing
the Democratic nomination were
bright until he announced himself
an adherent Of the sub-treasury
fallacy. He deservedly met with a
crushing and overwhelming defeat

eral assembly seems to have shirked its
responsibility and failed to do its duty !
Governor BUCHANAN was elected to
Office as a representative Of the farmers
of Tennessee, and the corporation knife
has been whetted for him. The general
assembly has been manipulated and con-
trolled so that he is left unsupported in
a position Of great difficulty, but if he
shows himself genuine Democrat brave
enough to be just he will turn into a
triumph what was intended for his dis
grace and humiliation. There is law
enough in Tennessee to beat the convict
corporations, and he is Governor of Ten
nessee. 1t is his duty to see to it that
the conyicts employed by any corpora
ton are worked only to reform them,
and not to make a corporation dividend.
Tt is his duty to prevent them from be-
ing worked like brutes for corporation
profit regardless of their own chances
for improvement in morals. Let him
do his duty, and he will have the people
Of the State behind him.
The Memphis Appeal-Avalanche
commenting on the above says:
There is a great deal Of sound sense
scattered through the Republics article,
and the Governor may read it with prof
it. AS to the constitutional inhibition
to which the paper refers, it depends
upon the point Of view While no new
steps have been taken by the Briceville
miners, the reports from that section
may be considered to justify the general
assembly in putting the service Of the
State militia at the command of the Gov
ernor. The miners, while not actually
in a state Of instruction, have not al at.
ed in their hostility to the employment
of conyicts, and, as the general assem-
bly, has failed to meet their demands for
relief, it is reasonable to believe, from
information in the Governors posses
sion, that they mediate another assault
on the convict camps-probably a night
Misunderstanding the release of the con.
victs, with quick disappearance of the
participants in the hills.
The Republic replies that the ef-
feet Of the constitutional prohibi-
ton depends less on the point of
view than on the point Of fact, the
question Of whether, by virtue Of
the act itself, the Tennessee militia
is now in actual service for suppress
sing a rebellion. 1t says:
Have the State militia been already
ordered out and are they now in active
service by act of the general assembly
under the terms Of the Constitution?
II they are, the Governor is theil
: commander-in-chief and can use
them; if they are not, the Consti
tuition he has sworn to support pro
hibits him from attempting to or
der them out; and, if, under the
Constitution, the Governor has ne
e power to order out the militia ever
if rebellion does exist-and this is
the case-then the general assem-
bly, can not give him such power
since that would enable the genera
t assembly to set aside the Constitu
0 ton.
F. However, if the Supreme Cour
afFirms the opinion Of Judge SNEEl
. in the WARREN habeas corpus case
p Governor BUCHANAN may be spareC
g the necessity Of calling out the mil
t tia.

The general reluctance eyinced
by Republicans this year to discuss
party issues before the people with
their opponents is very significant.
Their arguments are so easily re-
futed by well-informed Democrats
they prefer not to risk joint dis

with waving the bloody shirt.

enced a narrow escape from being
seriously hurt by a frightened horse
last Friday evening. The horse
was hitched at the gate and took

The political situation in Ohio
is watched with eager interest by
both parties, but the conditions of
success are different. The Repub-
licans, if defeated, can have little
hope of carrying the Union next
year, but if they are successful that
will be nothing more than they
have been doing for the past thirty
years. They have more at stake
than the Democrats, who have ey-
cry thing to gain and nothing to
lose.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY has made
the proposition to work the prison
ers of any other county in that ju-
icial circuit free of charge which
will deliver them to the jailer at
GAINESVILLE. The object in view is
to build good county roads, and the
experiment will be watched with in
terest. Similar attempts to work
the prisoners ON public roads have
been made before in Tennessee,
but not always with success except
in the three large counties of Da-
wilson, Hamilton and Shelby. If
it proves a success in this instant
the convict labor problem may be
easily disposed Of in this way.

The fact that the Republicans of
Massachusetts and Ohio are now
frantically engaged in waving the
bloody shirt is conclusive evidence
that they are on the run and have
fallen back to the last ditch. But
the great Democratic victory of last
November has almost eliminated
the spirit of sectionalism from the
life of the country, and Senator
SIBERIAN and Hon. HENRY CABOT
LODGE will soon realize that their
incendiary speeches will react upon
their own party.
