SES9.T1ENT LAW In'Sunday's issue we published an artic'o on this subject frooi a correspondent of the Gallatin Examiner. The editorial com' meats ,which should have accompanied it were" accidentally ommitted. But as the same subject has been discussed by us before it is perhaps unnecesiary for us to add any thing farther than this: Tha law having been before the Supreme Court and recog nized by them as. constitutional it must stand as such in the eyes of all law-abiding citizens until that decision Is reversed. "OUR NEXT GOTEKXOU" SOT FOB HORACE. From the Kingston Valley Xctvs (Republican.) Under the above head, a writer in the KnoxvlUe Chronicle, of a recent date, sug gestsitbe name of Hon. Horace Maynard as the Republican Governor of Tennessee in our.next Sta'.e election, and perhaps that gentleman may become a candidate. The writer does not ap rove of all Mr. May r.ard's political acts, and even refers to the "retro-active 4pcresed salary bill," but seems to think, on the whole, his chances for election would te very good. We may bo mistaken in our estimate of the amount of honesty in the Republican ranks of Ten nessee, but, we do think it possible for our party to present a candidate to tin people for whom we shall not be obliged to ask that "his large political experience" and "emi nent ability" may induce the people to overlook such an abuse of power and want of Btrict, old-fashioned honesty as necessa rily attaches to Mr. Maynard on account of his vote in this shameful, dishonest and de servedly unpopular measure. SECRET SOCIETIES AXOKQ THE KEG HOES. From the Jackson Dispatch, Sept. 6. We learn from good authority that one Logan, a negro preacher of this county, his recently been among toe colored people of Hardeman county, making speeches, and trying to excite their animosity against the whites of that section, admonishing them to reject all advice given them by the whito men, and to pursue, in every instance, a di rectly opposite course. Logan is either a fool or a rascal. The strongest probability is that he is both. That there are existing among the negroes of certain localities secret organizations against the whites, there can be no doubt. Such reports reach us from Shelby and oth er counties. Their principal object seems to.be to resist the present system cf hiring to the whites as servants, and also th9 sys tem of cropping on the shares, and to force the white people to rent tbem lands. This is certainly an unwise move on the part of th9 colored people. The colored people are not entirely independent of the whites, and thev are wonderfully fooled if they think we whito people are totally de pendent upon them. The whites are the owners of the lands, and they certainly could, if they were deposed, refuse to let the nezroes cultivate them at all; but it Is evidently to the interest of both classes to work to each other's hands - the whites fur nishing the lands, the "blacks" the labor. With this system of co-operation both classes xay be benefitted and the couutry blessed wiih a peacef d prosperity. Let the colored man study h!s own interest, and be will soon see that these secret organiza tions ccn result in no good whatever. OUB k8P0IAL (JOKBKSPOND ENOE. Merapbl s Prospects Ahead A No Tax Pay er Brought to Taw The Coming Exposition, Etc. To the TJnlOB and American: Memphis, Sept. 6, 1873. A line or two from our Bluff City occasionally may inter est your read6i 8. Our business season opens with fine promise. We have had an exceedingly dull summer. When the cholera made its ap pearance people lett the city in crowds and the Vienna Exposition had already attract ed hundreds of our most prominent citizens. These two causes left us a sparse popula tion of cant-get-awajs, who spent the sum mer in complaining of bard times, high taxes ard hot weather. These complaints were imaginary except as to the taxes. The State and county calls for a little over one and a half per cent, and the city takes just two and a half, so on the tax question there was seme reason to complain. But we bops to remove that cause of coti plaint soon. The first sale of land for old past due taxes was mad by the Clerk tnd Mas ter of the Second Chancery Court, aftw days ago, under a decree of that court. The land all brought the full amount of back taxes for many years, Rwlth accumulated costs and expanses. It was the property of one who has paid no taxes -since the war. This indicates that our courts Intend to col lect the very large amojnt due from delin quents. In the city we a-e looking forward anxiously .'or January,, when the city ad ministration will be changed and her finan ces and business a llttie better manag d. Then our city will begin to feel easy in ev ery way, and we will hear very little complaint of hard times or high taxes Our active and e iterprlslog Exposition ists are making grand preparations for the opening in October. The display will be much finer and more extensive than it was last year. I am fully authorized to Invite all Nashville and her neighbors to visit us on that most interesting occasion. Our two theatres, each of which is about ts, good as you will find oulside of New York, Lave combined and will pat their heads together to amuse the multitude. O ir hotels and public houses of all kinds will put on their holiday attire during the present month to beTre'ady for the Exposition. It will be a good time to visit the 4th Chickasaw Bluff. Brickbat. Cholera Bamor Sealed. "Evansville, lND. Sept. 8 The Journal's report from Washington, Ind., Bays r. rumor Is current that cholera pre vails there; which Is cot the case.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial. Washington, Sept. 5; The Commis sioner of Internal Revenuo has sent Gen. Sweet, Depu.y Commissioner of Internal Revenue, to Chicago and Springfield to in vestigate the alleged defalcation in the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue a; Springfield, Illinois. It is stated here that the affairs of tht office have been in an Irregular conuition for some months past, owing, as it was thought, to an extension of time to a certain number of distilleries for the payment of their back taxes. Theso taxes, however, were thought to have been fully paid on June 21. The money eeems to have been collected and deposheu is a proper condition, but for the last few weeks the returns have again exhibited considera ble irregularity. The friends of the Col lector here do not credit the rumor that h is a defaulter, and they believe that if there Is any foundation for the reports, it results from the acts of deputies, and is not the fault of Mr. Harper, who has long been in ill-health, and has paid little attention to the duties of his office. In case the charges shall prove true, in whole or In part, the Government will prosecute all offenders criminally; to the utmost extan; of the law, irresp2Ctlve of high political influence. The bondsmen of the Collector are under stood to be perfectly good, and among the wealthiest citizens of Central Illinois. Special to the St Louis Republican. Washington, D. C, Sept. 6. Up to this evening the commissioner of Internal revenue bad received no official information regarding the irregularities in the office of the collector of internal revenue at Spring field, III., although a telegram from Deputy Commissioner Sweet announcing his arri val in Chicago was expected. It is believed at the revenue bureau that the defalcation of Collector Harper is not less than $100, 000 and it is thought will not exceed $160, 000. Commissioner Douglass says be is less dlsappoin'ed and surprised by the conduct of Collector Harper than many of the latter's friends will doubtless be, and Mr. Douglass states that in May last he became dissatisfied with the manner in which Harper manged t!e affairs of the Springfield office, and tha, ho notified Har per that unless he straightond up his books and accounts he (the Commissioner) would present the case to the President and recom mend the appointment of another man as Collector. This brought letters from num erous prominent politicians in Illinois, and several members of Congress made personal ca Is upon the Commissioner to protest agains'. such action as that threatened by the latter, and giving renewed assurances ol the excellent character of Harper and the great resiect and esteem entertained for him in the minds of all who knew h'm. Another Defalcation. A defalcation amounting to about $10, 000 ha just been dis 'ovcred in the George town ofiica of the collector of taxes of this district. The culprit is C. S. Rainburg, a young married man of fine manners and prepossessing appear mce, whose habits are said to be good. His operations appsar to have been outside of the office, no false en tries having been made in the books. Tak ing advantage of his extensive acquaintance in Georgetown, it is said, to relieve himself from pecuniary straits, he collected money from parties owing taxes, mi assumed the authority to receipt for the same. It sems that he mail collections for the year's 1871, '72 and '73, and so far covered his 'racks as to replace the collections be has used for 1871. The Vice President. Special to tho Louisville Courier-Journal. Washington, Sept. 7. It does not seem to bo generally known yet whether Mr. Wilson's health will be sufficiently restored to permit his taking his place next winter as President of the Senate. Unlt ss he puts in an anpearance the Hon. Matt. Carpenter will be President of that body. The con stitution provision that, in the absence of the Yice President, the Senate shall choose a President pro tempore, was con strued by Mr. Jefferson to hold that the office ceassd after the recsss or the Senate; but the precedents all go to show that this doctrine has not been held by the Senate. TIip presence of Mr. Wil son in his seat would, however, of itself va cate Mr. Carpen er's election, and it would clearly be competent for any o-.e Senator to move to go into an election. Whether in view of the act of 1792, declaring the President of the Senate as next to the Yice President in order of succession to the Presidency, the Senate will order a new election, is a subject that will vex the Administration caucus at the beginning of the session, and probably be decided in favor of Carpenter's continuance in bis high position. In this connection then) Is authority for stating that Chief Justice Chase heid that tho act of 1872, declaring the Pr'sident of the Senate to be the suc cessor to the Yice President in the Execu tive office, wrs utterly unconstitutional; and during the impeachment of Andrew John eon be wrote an able argument in support of these views, which appeared as an edito rial of the National Intelligencer and at tracted great attention.

The SprlncQMd Republican baa now returns from-742 delegates, nearly three-fourtzs of the whole numher of. the Worcester conven tion, divided as follows: Wash urne, 394; Butler, 319; doubtful and contested, 29. There are 359 delegates yet to be elected, .of whom 45 come from four Western coun ties, 56 from Worcester county and 258 from the eastern part of the State, 02 each from Essex and Middlesex counties, the former of whicli is one of Butler's stroDg holds. Of 101 delegates to tome fioin the western part of the State, the Republican estimates that Washburn will hve nearly three-fourths, and of the remaining 268 about 125. As Washburn has now a clear msjority.of 40, giving Butler every doubt ful vote, the Republican considers him sure of 100 majority in the convention; but it is quite likely to be 150, and may rise to 200. Tho Journal's returns for delegates to the convention, so far as heard from at a late hour last night, stands 418 for Wash burn, 315 for Butler and 39 doubtful. There are 333 more delegates to be elected. Boston, Sept. 8. The Republican State Committee to-day chose Alexander H. Bul lock to preside over the Republican Con vention and he has accepted. Wil-ian- Gaston has been officially noti fied of his nomination for Governor by the Democratic State Convention and has ver bally accepted. . Satler Again Bottled. Caucus results received by the Springfield Rejmblican, up to one o'clock thh morning, renders Butler's defeat by a decisive major ity in Wednesday's convention absolutely certain. Of forty delegates reported to-day from the western half the State, Washburn g ts thirty, to Butler's ten; and of 108 in the eastern part, hehas 86, "to 07 for Butler, and one contested. This makes tho Repub lican's totals Washburn, 543; Butler, 410; doubtful aud contested, 45. Washburn has ,95 majority over TButler; giving the latter every doubtful vote, and 103 delegates yet to be heard from will surely increase his majority in full convention to 125, while it is propable it will reach 150. Boston, Sept. 8. -Delegates, according to the Journal's returns, stood at 11 r m. as, follows: Washburn, 549; Butler, 358; dobtfnl, 31. At a meeting in the 6th Ward anti-Butler men were elected by majorities, after a spirited contest. California's Returns. San Fbancisco. Sep. 8. Last night it Was announced :hat Roach, (Democrat), had beaten Haluuie, (lnd.) on the Senate. A revision of the returns with the addition of one precinct rot in then, shows Hallidie,indep3r.dent,electcd Bartlett, in dependent, was beaten by Roach two hun dred aud thirty votes. Otis (Ind.) for mayor has 13,691; McDonald (Dem.) 12, 403. White (Dem.) for sheriff 11,164; McKibbon (Ind.) 15,158. Crawley (Ind.) for clerk of police, 11,352; Cockrill (Dem.) 14,514. Hubbert (Dem.) is elected treasurer by a mjority, over Avron, of 150. Funk (Dem.) is elected recorder over Herman (Did ) by over 3,000 .isjority. Murphy for dis'rict attorney (ind.) is beaten by Rysn (Dem) by a small majority. Delaney (Ind.) for the Assembly is de'eated by How8 (Dem.) by 150 majority. Scannel for fire commissioner is e'ected. Whitney, the present chief! says he will demand a re count. Tho rost of the Dolly Yarden ticket is elected, with few exceptions. Bart lett, Independent, aud Roacbe, Demo crat, are known to be elected to tho Senate. Roache is anti-railroad, and will probably vote for Casserly fof the United States Sen ate. It is impossible to give a correct state ment of the number of anti-railroad and doubtful members of the Legislature elect ed. The closest figuring possible indicates that both will have forty five votes. Loop W.i 1 have forty-five to fifty votes on joint ballot. He is the growing man of tho State, and gains popular strength daily. Slaine Gubernatorial Election, POKTI.AND, Me , Sept. 8. Portland gives Diugley, Republican, 1,751 votes for Governor; Titcomb, Democrat, 926; Wil liams, Liberal Republican, 114; scattering 30,- Dingrey's majority, 528; last y-ar the vote stood: Republican, 2,622; Democrat, 2,531; scattering, 4; giving a Republican majority of 91. 9:15 P. sr.- 63 towns give Dingley, 13,804; Ti comb, 9,125; Williams, 488; being a majority of 4,251 for Dinsley. Last year Ferham received 22 044; Kimhall, 16,066; being a majority of 5,978 for Perbam; net loss, 1,727; aggregate vote this year, 23,477; lst year, 38,110. This indicates a majir ity of about 12,000 on a vole of about 180,. C00. Returns are still too few to judge fairly. Kennebunk gives Dingley, 196; Titcomb, 130. Lewiston gives Dingley, 602; Titcomb, 381. Lewiston is tbe home of Dingley, and Kennebunk the home of Titcomb. 10 O'CLOCK, p. m. One hundred towns give Dinglay, 20,432; Titcomb, 13,949; Williams, 6S3. Republican majority 5,80 The same towns last year gave Perham 3 2,817; Kimball, 24,104. Republican ma jority 8,713. This shows that the majority this year will p'obably be 11,000 out of an aggregate of 80,000, against a Republican majority last year of 16,637 in a vote 01 127,269. Towns not heard from gavo last Perbam, 39.0S6; Kimball, 31,262. The Republicans last year carried Knox county for the first time; this year returns indl date that tbe Democrats have carried it. The Republicans hive, carried the other 15 counties, though possibly one or more may be lost on account of an Independent tick; t. Tbe Democrats carry Baneor on the gubernatorial votes. The Republicans have elected their rep'esentatives. Ells worth Is reported as going for Titcomb 100 majority. This seems unlikely aslast year it gave Pernam 58S, and Kimball, 450.
