THE STATE ELECTION,

The pending State election Is of sig.
nificaut and momentous Importance.
Significant and observation-disclosures
for the time being, the question Of free
government in Tennessee is to be solved.
There a be no free government,
where only part of the people are free
and enjoy the %inalienable rights of
freemen.
There r laws on the statute books
OF the State, put there by the most
vicious and venal Democratic legisla.
ton of which we have record, that are
a disgrace to a moral, civilized and
Christian people. Poverty is made q
crime and men are disfranchised and
outlawed without the processes of the
courts. The man over forty five years
OF age who owes a property tax,
amounting to hundreds and thousands,
may 60 to the polls and vote, but the
poor devil under that age, who can not
buy a pound of meat or a bushel of
corn>to feed his hungry family, is de.
MED the privilege without he can show
a poll tax receipt. This accursed law
Is the acme Of inequality, injustice,
despotism and iniquity. Its sole pur-
pose is to disfranchise the colored man
and the poor white man, who almost
invariably belong to the Republican
party, because 1t is their only friend.
Were the helpless beggar who lay at
the rich mans gate, whom the said
rich man afterwards saw across "the
impossible gulf" safe in Abraham's
bosom, a citizen of Tennessee, he would
be denied the ballot without a miracu.

Lazarus Of Bethany, who might have
been the Lazarus Of affection fed upon
the scraps Of the rich mans feast, and
whom the Savior of mankind so loved
that He wept over his grave and called
him back to life, would have shared
no kindlier fate under the pr~oscriptive
iniquities of Democratic legislation.
Men ought to pay their poll tax. II Is
the duty of the officers to collect 1t
which they a do in every instance
since nothing is exempt.
The school law is full of defects and
imperfections, that any legislative
body of common sense, patriotic i'm.
pulses and earnest concern for the pub
lie welfare could and would remedy
without delay.
The road law is a bundle Of crudities.

duties 1t imposes for which no ADEQUATE
punishment is provided. The result is
that the condition Of the public high
ways, from year in to year out, is sim.

standing disgrace to the State and the
people who livein it. Something should
be done in the next Legislature TO wipe
out the damaging fraud.

Hon. JOHN RHUM, one of the lead
ing lawyers Of the Nashville bar, has
thoroughly examined the election laws
of Tennessee, and gives a written
opinion through the papers, that regis.
tration of voters is only required in
counties having a population of fifty
thousand or over. If his view of the
law is correct, registration can only be
legally required in Knox, Hamilton,
Davidson and Shelby counties. This
will break up the sale of certificates in
several localities where a thriving
business in this line has been done for
some time, and restore to the people
the right to vote without having to ex-
hibit a certificate in addition to their
poll tax receipt. We suppose the courts
will be called on to construe the law
on the question raised and decide It in
time for the November election.
