Porier said ho knew onough of ths nogro to eay that the black would not make himsolf obnoxious by Intruding where Le belioved he was not wanted. Qov. Porter had been s slave-owner; had defended them aa coun- sol; had tred them as Judgo, and ving-tonths of the negroos were prose- cuted by thelr kind. A few might act foolisbly over newly-acquired rights under an unconstitutional Civil-Rights bill, but the great masses thomaelves wore indifferout na to ite ! pasaage. 1ie had some apprchonsions that it would cause strifo in some parts of the State, but would couusol the peopla to bear with the iniquity becauso already {oo much Impover. ished to withetand suits that might bo bronght agsinst thom. The only place where he feared tho negrocs would want to make most of themselves conspicuous was at Memphls, which bas a large negro population, and many of them very rough charactera. Tho most one had to fesr was tho partivan firenrands, who would cgg ou some megroes to do such doeds as would be most likely to bring sbout a conflict. Thia was just what Ro- publican leaders meant hy passing tho bill, They wanted to stir up devilment fu tho South, that the Ropublican party, now in the last ditch, might ride rough-shod Into power in 1876, Dut the people would not give them this ovportunity, — though visited b{ diras- trous floods, though ruined by moat destructive drouglt, though their cattle were dying with atarvation, the peopls reduced to the lowest obb for tho want_of the currency which tho Government of the Umted Htates ought to furoist; though ground down by uncoustitu- tional enactmonts, the peoplo of 'Tennessao would yet submit to evervy aud all fu- diguities which might bo heaped npon them by partisan wod relentless legielation, ud would ehow a Ligh moral courage that would eall farth tho admiration of the American people, and have tho effect of uverwhelingly defeating the Rtopublican party, Ha would counsel mod- oration on the part of tho people, If only let alono by Republican charlatan, the negroes and tho Southern people would 'still continuo to live peaceably together, After all tho Kouth- orner was tho black's best friend, and that fact was practically oxbibited in everyday life, Chief-Justico Lochrane was decidedly of opin- Jon that the Jaw, at least aa {ar Lotels were con- carued, would bo universally reaisted Sontl, and a8 tho law was manifestly unconstitutioual, tet- cascs could bo made, and it wonld take & couple of vears before it could be finally disposed of by the Hapreme Court. Universal opposition to the law, he thougbt, would render it a nullity, John M. Fleming, State Buperintendent of T'abtic Instruction, says the law ia ealcalated to bring about greater race-nntagonism thau ever known before; but, as the bill didn't include public schiools, Lie protested against the Leglala- ture taking auy action whatover in regaid to them. declaring the prosent school-law 1equired no chiaugo whatever.
