After weeks of unnecessary delay the kind, good-hearted and malicious tyrant who lords it over the people of Tennessee in a manner that would cause a tinge from very shame to mantle the cheek of a Nero on a brutal Congor chief, has graciously extended to this county a favor, yes, a favor! and commissioned N. A. D. BRYANT as Register. BRYANT has his commission, accepts of the office, but cannot proceed with his work until the “noble Governor” or some other loyal leaguer sees fit to send him papers, blanks and books.
We hope the registrar will inform the people of his movements and give all an opportunity to register, provided they can do so under the law. The time is but short now, less than two months, and the successor of Mr. RUFFIN should commence the work of manufacturing voters as soon as possible. Mr. BRYANT is doubtless aware of the fact that his old friends, neighbors and fellow citizens are exceedingly anxious for him to open his office.
