His Ex'y the GOVERNOR, Of Tennessee:
This general order is seized upon with the utmost
avdity by the Committee in asprlt OF disnsenuous
ness which nothing short ofdesperation could have
Inspired.
The Secretary of War, as We have before shown,
on the Sd of January, 1914, expressly stated tha'
,he militia we're to be considered as having been cal
led out under the act Of 1895, which limited their
time of service to three months but notwithstanding
this erplcit avorod Of the intention OF the pres'oe'
on the part of his Secretary, the Committee cling
to the letter of the 18th January, because OF the
\ discretionary power it contains and consider as
carte blanche which enabled Governor biount'


or General Jackson, to do with impunity almost any
thing.


We contend that the letter of the lth January
/ 1914, from Gen. Armstrong to Gov. blount, con-
ferred no power upon the latter, save merely tnat
of pledging the general government to pay ana suo-


sis such militia as Governor Bount, with the advlce


of General Pinckney, might choose to call out our


readers by referring to Gov. Blounts letter OF the


Gath Dec 1914 will see, that he had, as er 9D'cio


he well might, before called out and employed GER


tain bodies of militia whom he afterwards recon-


mended as worthy of being received into the ser


vice, and of compensation. General Armstrong
