OF THE UIGHC TO VOl'E FOR PRE
SIDENT !
The bogns Legislature of Tennessee passed
a bill taking the right to vote for Presiden
tial electors from the people and empowering
tkeir ownbody to exercise that, right:. . This
hill was vetoed by the Governor, and with
out attempting to pass the bill over the veto
the Legislature adjourned, without, however,
passing a law for the registration of voters, as
required by the Constitution of the State. In
this dilemma the Democracy were in doubt
wbat course to adopt—whether to let the
election go by default, or to put an electoral
ticket in the field and endeavor to carry the
State for Seymour and Blair. We are pleased
to see that leading Democrats in the State
advise the latfer course, and that the Demo
cratic presses are urging a thorough organi
zation and zealous canvass in the confident
hope Of success in November. There is no
law in Tennessee to prevent the people from
expressing their choice for President, and it
would seem to bo a duty which the Demo
cracy ef that.State owe not .only to them
selves, but to the 1 Democratic party of the
Union, to contest the Presidential election
w4h iheir>unacrupulqriia oppuf rip Cjfamay
be of the most vital importaice Mt the’. De
mocratic vote of every Southern State
in the coming Presidential election should
' be ascertained. The question of its
admission or exclusion from the Elec
toral College will be for the white men
of the North and West, who Have an equal
stake with the people of the South in the
result, to determine.
In onr opinion the Democracy of Florida,
notwithstanding tbe action of tbe bogus
Legislatnre of that State, in usnrping the
franchise of tbe people by depriving them
of the right to vote for President, should
hold their election for Presidential electors
in November, in accordance with tbe nsnal
forms of law. If no more could be accom
plished, they conld at least show to the
white men of tbe North, by electing Demo
cratic electors, that tbe true people of tbe
State are not represented by the carpet
baggers, scalawags and negroes, who com
pose the majority of the unconstitutional
and iliegal body which claims to exercise tbe
legislative powers of the State. Let the
people of every Southern State at the ballot
box declare their adhesion to the. principles
of the Constitution as expressed in the De
mocratic platform and maintained by tbe
Democratic nominees, and we shall see
whether the freemen of tbe North and West
will submit to onr disfranchisement in
order that a corrupt and revolutionary party
may perpetuate the,power which they have
usurped. ■'
■ The attention of the President has been
called to the organization of the Grand
Army of the Republic as an. organization
treasonable in its character and dangerous
to the peace of the conn try.
nesses under military protection—all these
things arofresh in the memory of our read
ers. 80, 1 iodf are the Affidavits 'of Stapler
and others, who had been subjected to erne
torture to extort from them testimony to
convict innocent men. The cruelties and
outrages" * described by these po or
military power were so revolting. and in
credible that it scarcely needed the indignant
denials of General Meade and other officers
implicated, to cause many to doubt their
amsanow
high in position, were capable of conduct
which deserves a place in infamous bistoiy
with the records of the conspiracies of Titus
Oates and the cruelties of Jeffries, the Judge
of the'Bloody-Assizes.
But all and more than was related by Sta
pler and his fellow-sufferers—all and more c
falsehood, villainy, conspiracy, bribery’api
cruelty, than was alleged—is proved by the
sworn confession of W. H. Reed, the Govern
ment Detective. In the language of the Louis
ville' Courier, which we endorse and adopt,
“black ae the case has heretofore been proved
to be, and groundless as were the charges
against tbe gentlemen of Colnmbns, tbe
evidence which we present this morning adds
a deeper stain to the gnilt of those who have
already appeared prominently in this mali
cious prosecution, and implicates parlies
ho. were.oniy remotely suspected of. being
mcernecLin this dark' conspiracy.
[‘^The affidavit of Reed is conclusive
many, points which heretofore were
conjectured. 1 It confirms in every essen
the' statements made some time
conji
particular,
ago, by some.of the colored witnesses in re
gard to the tortures' they were forced to un
dergo as a means of compelling them to
give false testimony before tbe military au
tborities. It confirms the numerous state
ments ‘which have been made in reference
to attempts at subordination, by the offers
of large rewards and the threats of prolonged
and crnel punishment, if satisfactory evi
dence were not given by tbe ignorant
witnesses. It confirms ail that has hi
fore been charged by the people of
agaiost the military authorities, and
takes ns bebind.the scenes and exposes to
us in all their naked deiormiiy, the malig
nant proposes of those dark plotters against
the rights and liberties of a people. It tears
off the mask which a smiling hypocrisy had
assumed; and reveals to us in all its hideoug-
ness, the true features of a rude and relent
less military despotism engaged in “working
up a case” against the unoffending, in the in
terest of a reckless and vicious party, which,
for the sake of power, would -trample nnder
foot every sentiment of justice. It shows
conclusively that the whole design of . con
victing the Colnmbns prisoners was, in the
words of the other detective, Whitley, “a
political move,’* and it was supposed that in
that connection “tbe conviotion of the pris
oners would be a big thiDg.”
There are other statements in the affi
davit of Reed which it is painful to us to
record. We prefer to look upon every
prominent gentleman, especially if he be a
soldier, as a man whose escutcheon is bright
with all the generons qualifies that adorn
human nature, and as one who “hates the
slime that sticks to filthy deeds.” Tbe
enormities practised against the Colnmbns
prisoners are worthy of the conception of the
Stantons, the Butlers, tbe Sumneis and their
pliant detect!vee, but when those whom we
have been accustomed to regard as actuated
by true feelings of soldierly honor, consent
to become instruments in a scheme against
the rights and liberties of unoffending
citizens, their action is calculated to excite
feelings of the deepest regret and mortifica
tion.
“We could, therefore, wish that the state
ments of Reed were not true; bat all the cir
cumstances surrounding the case, tends to
confirm the correctness of his avertments,
and to implicate some of tbe most prominent
soldiers of tbe army in one of the most reck
less conspiracies against human liberty
that blackens tbe annals of any conntry or
any age.”
and as snuh, upon taking tbe
by the Constitution, that he
take the seat of said Senator.
This resolution will probably be
to-day, os all the offices.-hac
out before Bradley was ousted, and an hon
est man’s vote will not now be mnoh in tbe
way of the plunderers.

THE BOGUS GEORGIA LEGISLATURE,
Tbe so-called Senate, after having been
ocenpied almost exclusively for the past ten
days with the case of the negro Sing-Singer
Bradley was bored, ontraged and insulted
the whole of Saturday by Bradley’s worthy
successor, the negro Campbell, from the
Second District. This creature, under pre
tense of making a defense of his Sing-Sing
friend, moved the reconsideration of the
action by which he was expelled. A dis
patch to the Angosta Constitutionalist thus
describes tbe disgraceful scene:
Campbell (negro) had the floor this morn
ing and harangued the Senators, or as many
os remained to submit to it, throughout
nearly the entire session. At times tbe
scenes of confusion in the Senate Chamber
were such as wonld disgrace even a Radical
pow-wow, condncted by its vilest leaders.
Hooting, hissing and calls to order, and im
pudent rejoinders from tho old black scamp,
called, according to tbe reconstruction acts,
Senator—all endured to listen to.a defense of
the expelled negro. After Campbell' had
ranted an boor and a half, no quorum was
found. Gtber Senators were drummed up.
Mr. Holcombe endured hall an hour longer,
then rose to a point of order,; He, said
Campbell was crazy, and not eligible him
self.
Mr. Winn wanted a committee of three to
hear him ont
Motions and points of order came thick
and fast
Campbell seemed as full of blow as when
he first tegun. Everybody was tired down:
Even Conley seemed disgusted, and was ev
idently much relieved, when the hoar and
motion for adjournment came. 'He brongh
down his lap-hammer and adjourned to Mon
day.
7 The Chronicle’s correspondent says Camp:
bell is as pisat a,nniwince' as Bradley,, and
that bis own party have become so disgnst-
ed with him that there is some talk of
deavoring to expel him. The same corres
pondent is of opinion that Capt Lester will
be admitted to the seat made vacant by the
expnikon of Bradley. The following is the

Advice Worth Hctdlttf.
The following good advice to tbe colored
people which we find in the Montgomery
Mail, is as applicable to Savannah as to
Montgomery: ^
Negroes.—There roe several things that
many negroes have yet to learn. One is that
they have nothing to do with arrests of ne-
restated they rash np like hogs when a
* nened-in a fencer They think
lust take.the prisoner out. of the
the policeman, or other officer.
They do not see. white men act in that way
when a white man is arrested. It is a high
offense to-interfere with-officers, and negroes
who do not know ic ought to find it out at
once. If.officers make arrests wrongfully,
they are resphhsible." Courts'must decide,
not negroes, nor white men about tbe streets.
Adotner thiDg is, that many negroes think
that this' is only a- free country for Radical?;
that Conservative or-Democratic'negroes
have no right to -meet and hear and make
speeches. Now, these negroes must learn
that it is a great wrong and high offense to
disturb sneb meetings as are peaceable. One
negro has just as much right 1 to be a Demo-
oiiahas, another has fcribai a Badical, and
neither leaguers or any other set of men
have any right to get np a row, or to threaten
lb mob a man for being of a d-ffareht
is so. All such
