Progress of the Campaign—Governor Senter Appointing Conservative Registrare—Anxicty of the Stokes Men—Change of Sentiment im Kast Tennessee—Probable Success of Senter— The Finances—Crops. , KNOXVILLE, June 28, 1869. ‘The conservatives of Tennessee will act discreetly and harmoniously in the present canvass. They do not intend to hold either s State convention to nom!- Natescandidate for Governor, or county conventions for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates for the Legislature. ‘They will act with circumspec- tion and do nothing to embarrass the liberal move- ment 80 boldly advocated by Senter. This is easen- tially @ canvass in which memare nothing, principles everything. To win the victory for white eniran- chigement is the all-absorbing desire of the con- servative maeses in the State. Governor Senter’s removal of the Registration Commissioner of Shelby county and the appointment of a conservative to the office has created great con- sternation among the friends of Stokes, who foresee in this move the certain defeat of thelr candidate. The liberal construction of the Franchise law in the light of the recent Supreme Court decision is that the registers are judicial officers, responsible to their own consciences only for the faithfal performance of thetr duties. The Supreme Court decided in express terms that once being & voter according to law, the voter has a vested right therein, which may not be taken from him by any power of the Legisiature or Governor, or both combined, but only by ‘due pro- cess of law,” which is defined by the court to mean atrial by @ jury of his countrymen and conviction of an imfamous crime. ‘The court says:— The elective franchise is a right which the law protects and enforces as jeniously as it does the property in chattels and lands, It matters not by what name it is 6 right to vote, the elective franchise, or the of the elective franchise. The person who under constitution and laws of the State 1s entitled to ft has a pi iy right In it, which the law maintains and vindicates as vigorously ae it docs any right of any kind which men may have and enjoy. The rules of law which rivation or jury the right of jons in corporeal properties, are alike equaliy applicable to the elective franchise and alll equally guard persous Invested with i against deprivatio ot or fajury to it, Persona invested with of it otherwise than process of law. To me extent that ne cannot be deprived of their nd chattels, oF rights and of any kind, ‘ise than by due process of Jaw, is it also true that with: ont due of law they cannot be or divested of the muniments which evidence and thetr titles and promis: notes "egntation and Fight to jegory. The yegisters, therefore, can draw their own de- ductions and rules of guidance from this decision. Whenever a conservative is appomted in any coan- ty he will bth! 4 issue certificates vo all who are entitled to them. The questions asked applicants will be about a8 follows:—Have you ever voted? If not, are you of proper age! Are you loyal?

It would do away with the necessity of a State convention to alter, amend and tinker the constitution, and, as the disfraucliisement of nineteen-twenticths of the “rebels” expires by limitation in 1870, much expease and troubie might thus be avotded, The Stokes radicals have had the new register o and hood. }, Shelby county enjoined, on the ground that the Goy- ernor has no right to remove registers.
