Capital and talent to locate within their limits by
their liberal and enlightened Legislation on this
subject, whilst our own State has constantly OPP

Your memoralists would therefore most respect

to this subject your careful and serious consideration
and extend such relief as in your wisdom you may
deem just and liberal.

Who Carried the Elections in Texas.

From an article in the last Galveston Confederate
we make the following extract showing that the
native voters were defeated in that State by the
foreign voters. In a State with immense German
settlements not to speak of the Mexicans. il an.
pears that the ADleriedH people are in favor of
American principles;
Again, Gov. Bells probable majority will not

is supposed, it will not reach the foreign vote of
his District by at least one half. lt may be safely
asserted that there cast for Bell from three 20
four thousand Mexican votes alone class of citizens
who are no more entitled to the right of suffrage
than our free negroes, and who would long since
have been excluded from the ballot box OF the
State, but for the depravity OF demagogues and
party hacks TO whose peculiar use and benefit the
honest portion of our State has resigned them
In estimating Pease's majority it must be taken in
TO consideration that this vote and the German and
other foreign vote also was cast for him as a unit
Then, when it is remembered that the highest vote
which the wing party ever cast 10 the State was
5000 against Democratic vote of 25, 600 and that
the vote for Governor will stand nearly, for the
American party $4,000 against the vote of the an
ii American party 25, 900 some slight estimate may
be formed of what sam effected in the State Of Tex
in the short space OF twelve months. Another
fact is somewhat significant. We may put the for
eign vote Of the State down, with sstey at 200.
The majority OF the ant-Amercan party in the late
contest a. just stated will be less by six or seven
thousand than the actual foreign Of the State,
This is most encouraging condition OF things for
our party If il needed any other encouragement
than that which virtuouS principles and patriotic
objects always hold out. Ia view of these facts

Merchants, Taxes.

We publish this morning the proceedings of
the meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Com
merce, held at the Merchants Exchange on
Wednesday evening last, embodying Memo
rial from the Mercantile interests Of the State,
addressed to the General Assembly of Tennes-
see. We bespeak for this Memorial a careful
perusal, not only by the members of the Leg
isature, who will be called upon to act upon
it's suggestions, but by every member of the
community. If the evil complained of is in
deed an evil, then all are interested in its re-
moval. An undue burden placed upon any
one important interest of the State affects del
eteriously all other interests and hence, all
should take part ia bringing about its removal.
The Memorial is prepared by a committee of
our most respectable and experienced mer-
chants-gentlemen whose representations are
entitled to the highest respect; and it presents
the subject in a clear, forcible and unambgu-
Gus manner.
The subject of the burdensomeness OF the
State taxes upon merchants has been brought
to the attention of the Legislature heretofore,
UuJ never III SO SlTOuB du doIOCI a9 IL 70 iihS'y
to be at the present session, and never with as
fan prospects that the evil complained of will
be removed. The merchants of Memphis are
actively in the field in this movement, and
have issued their Memorial, a copy of which
appeared in our columns some weeks since
We trust the merchants throughout the State
will take hold of this matter promptly, and
circulate these Memorials as thoroughly as
practicable, in the shortest possible time A
long pull and a strong pull, and the object
sought will unquestionably be accomplished.
Among the bills introduced in the Senate on
Wednesday, was one by the Senator from Car
ter, johnson, &c, Mr.. SMITH, entitled bill to
smend the revenue laws of the State, which
provides for the adjustment of the evil COM
planned of-that goods brought into the State
shall only be taxed in first hands, at present
rates, and thereafter be free from taxation.

Our Banking Facilities.

We copy the following editorial from ThOmp-
sons Bank Note and Commercial Reporter of
the 18th, one of the most respectable and val
liable journals of the kind in the country, to
show in what sort of estimation our Tennessee
Banking System is held among Eastern men.
The statement in regard to the losses of the
Bank of Tennessee, we are not prepared to en-
dorse, as we are not familiar with the opera
tions of that institution:
TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA BANKs-The Bank Of
Tennessee belongs entirely to the State and hence
commonly called the STATED Bank, having a nominal
capital Of So, 000 600: a portion is narrowed at
per cent interest by the issue OF State bonds, and
the remainder is the money of tie common School
fund This bank is managed by politicians, makes
no dividends, and has lost about 1000, 900 of its
capital in bad debts. The mother bank is located
at Nashville but it issues notes payable there.
All its business is transacted with notes payable at
distant branches many of them several days jour
new from Nashville. Ibis currency is not redeem
ed by the Bank upon any terms whatever. Ii you
take back to the bank notes which they have just
paid out they not only refuse coin, but thew refuse
to sell exchange any point at any rate, for their
branch notes; but they politely suggest that you
are at liberty to send them to the distant points at
the onls method OF getting them redeemed.
The Union Bank and Planters Bank follow the
same plan of issuing notes, except they are made
payable at distant points but either OF them will
sell to other banks and brokers exchange on New
York or Phadelphia and receive their Branch notes
in payment at per cent premium. This is a mu-
tual arrangement 10 prevent the banks from send
ing each Others circulation for redemption.
The Bank of Nashville, organized under the gen.
eral law, $780, 900 circulation pays coin promptly on
presentation, in Nashville.
The Central Bank (charted) makes its notes pay
able in Nashville, and pays out no other kind.
The above plainly shows why Free Banking does
not flourish in Tennessee.
In Virginia, the same system of paving out the
notes of distant branches, prevails thus virtually
saddling the community with irredeemable cur
rency, on which, if gold is wanted, shave
very long journey is inevitable. 1t is high time this
old fogy system of Branch note issues should be
broken up.

PRoscRIPTIoS.-The Bowling Green (Ky)
Standard learns from a reliable source, that a
Methodist congregation in the eastern portion
of this county, near Elk Spring, actually re-
fused To pay their circuit preacher, Rev. j. W.
Maxwell, the miserable pittance due him for
his services, unless he would withdraw from
the American party previous to the last cleo
ton. Mr.. Maxwell Indignantly refused TO do
so, asserting that he was preaching for higher
purpose than the earning of ten dollars. The
members Of Elk Spring Council have since
made mp the amount and handed il over to Mr..
Maxwell. This little Incident is better com

TUE PRoGREss OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.
The New York Economist, in the course of
an article upon lawns, cautions importers of
dry goods 10 note the Improvements which
the United States are constantly making in the
production Of those styles of goods, which,
heretofore, have been almost exclusively left TO
the foreign lubricant. The writer intimates
that the evidence of one years profit, on GER
tain descriptions, is not TO be relied upon for
the following years guidance in importations
The experience, industry aud energy Of our
New England manufacturers, have removed
every barrier thus far, in a wide range, which
the longer applied effort and skill Of another
continent has S, / up. In the article OF lawns
great Improvement Las been made not only In
quality, bat towards supplying az ample stock

MELANCHOLY CAsUALTY.-Yesterday morning,
Mr. Virgil A. Mayfeld late of the firm of F. Lane
4 Co, Of this city, started TO town on horseback
from his residence 10 or 20 miles distant, in Desoto
county, Miss. An hour or two after his departure,
his horse returned rideress and his friends, upon
going in search Of him, found him lying dead on
the roadside, some miles from home. 1t is pre-
sumed that he was thrown from his horse and thus
killed, though there fractures or Commissions
upon his person, if we except slight bruise on the
neck. 1t is, however, possible, as we learn, tina.

has just rendered very important decision in
regard to Savings Banks and Building Associ-

an Association attempted to foreclose a mort

charged.

Statue. of washington and Jackson.

Gov. Brown on yesterday introduced bill
into the House of Representatives to place
statues of Washington aud jackson in the
State Capitol, the statues to be the work of
an American artist Gov. Brown advocated
the propositions contained in his bill in a
speech of thrilling eloquence and beauty, which
elected the profound attention of the House.
This is proposition which will, undoubtedly,
meet the cordial appreciation of the people of
Tennessee; and we must be permitted to hope
that there will be no hesitation on the part of
the members of the Legislature to pass it into
law. The statute of these two great men
will form an appropriate ornament to our
Capitol, the finest in the Union, and an
honor to the patriotism of Tennesseeans.

ANOTHER BLUNDER.-President Pierce seems
to have had the "luck" of appointing to inn
portant foreign stations men who through ig-
norance or design, are not unfrequently perpe-
trating The most ridiculous, not to say embar-
RAISING plumbers" The latest instance we.
have seen is furnished by the Paris correspon-
dent of the New York Times. According to
that authority, "Mr Mason, the American
Minister at Paris, the representative of neu-
trial power, attended in official costume, the
7e Deum at N0tre Dame, in thanksgiving for
the fall of SevastOpol. That the Ambassador
Plenipotentiary of the United States should so
misunderstood his duties surpasses belief The
French Government, with deicacy which
deserves acknowledgement, did not mention
in the list of invited guests published the day
before in the Koniteur, the Diplomatic Corps,
leaving it to each members sense of his posi-
ton TO decide whether he should be present or
stay away. Not an American in Paris sup
posed his Ambassador would so interpret bis
mission, as to join with the Emperor, Lord
Cowley, the Turkish and Sandman ambassa-
doris, in such q ceremony of mingled thanks
giving and crow. Why did not Mr.. Mason
represent, in his person, the neutrality Of his
Government, instead of leading the ignorant
and unintiated to suppose that our neutrality
is unsound |"
