That there are three parties interest ed in this matter—the proprietors of Hie Opera building, *■ lessor*; the city of At lanta, as lessee; and tbe Bute, as occupant under said lessee. What the lessor* were to ftirnlsh depends upon the contract of leasing. What th* lessee wee to furnish depends upon the eontraot between the Btate.and the city of Atlknta. We submit that for eur present purpose It doe* not now become necessary to construe either ef said contracts. Suffice It to say that neither the State nor the city contemplated the heatiag and lighting of the temporary capltol, in the extravagant mode adopted, and the Governor was fully apprised of this toct. It is equally evident to us that neither tke State nor the city' contemplated the purchase of an entire new outfit of costly furniture for the temporary capltol. This tho Governor must also have known; ami it la a foot too plain to be disputed that an out lay of $60,000, Inditing up a building which lx to be used for Btato House purpusu* for ton years only, under all tbe circumstance*, was simply reckless extravagance. Oth. The course pursued by His Excellency is, In our opinion, not only without authority, but la alio without precedent, so far a* we are The direction of ex-Gov.

The abdication of no bated mon arch ever called forth a more heartfelt thanksgiving from the hearts of a long-suf fering people, than will swell from the very soul of Tannessee, when tbe aasuranoe of (he long-prsyod tor riddance shall have botn made doubly sure, by the departure of 8en. ator Brownlow for tho National Capital. The 26th day of February will he heneeforth marked with a white stoue in the Tennessee calender. Governor Brownlow's successor is DeWitt C. Henter, of Grainger county, the praaent Speaker of the 8en*te. He is youag—onlv about tbirtv-aix years ofsge. He is a native-born and thorough, brail East Tennesseean and posaessee no small share of the fire and eomhative energy of his father, the Hon. William T. Sen ter, who. In 184K-6, represented the Seeond District of Tennessee in the United States Congress. He has had much Legislative experience for one of his years, both before and sinee tha war, and may be said to be a farmer, bv edu cation—a lawyer, by license—a polltiefan, by experience, aud of no mean skill and ability. * * * - 'here is no man living on the American continent, nor, indeed, on any other conti nent, that could duplicate the administration of the retiring Governor. As U never had a precedent, so it will stand in the future with, out n parrallel. Brownlow is eui generit, and Brownlowism is essentially and peculiarly a thing of his creation aad nurture. As with him. it had its origin, so with him it must die: and the man who undertake* to perpetuate or prolong it in Tennessee, will only heeome no ticeable in history as an object of ridicule for future generation*. Any attempt to intimate Brownlow must result in failure, disaster and disgrace, and Mr. Renter will disappoint those who know him best, if he should ventur^ upon any such by pestilence and lie people wera suffering for food and medical Tho fact that ox-Oovornor Johnson ex- lees than $8000 in excess of an appro, i which had boon made for a specific munlcatod th* feet to the _ . . bling, accompanied by th* propor vouchers, and asking an ap propriation to covor tho oxcoso so expended, cannot bo insistod upon as a precedeut.
