The Philadelphia Z. n Convention.

This august body which met on the
22d has had stormy time, and it's ac-
ton, so lar as we have any intelli-
gence, is decidedly abolition in its
tendencies. The platform adopted
ignores the slavery question and de-
nounces the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise: tits just such a Plat
form as no Southern man can stand
upon without political pollution, snd
one which the leaders, will in vain at

Watch It!
From the Nashville Union and American.
The Central Bank. -

The notes of this bank continue
to be redeemed on presentation at
the counter in this city. But they
are not taken by the other banks on
deposit, and are therefore not in good
standing with business men. The
following, from the Knoxville Regis
ter, shows the feeling with which
they are regarded there:
CENTRAL BANK OF TENNESSEE. - This
Bank has not been long enough in
existence to become generally known.
It was established on the awildcat''
principle. The principle Office of the
concern was at Nashville, though it
had a payable" branch at Dandridge.
Messrs. s. w. INMAN & Bros, in q
card in the Herald, stated that of the
money payable at cambridge, they
owe and have the entire con.
troll of Thirty 7Huosand Dollars,
running from l up to 120-S5 and
| 10 bills marked with a red S-with
"W. P. 1, Feb. LIST 1856" written
across the face Of each bill. They
pledge themselves to redeem every
dollar Of the thirty thousand men
toned above, and we would advise
persons having bills Of the above de-
iscription, not to sacrifice them.
Since the above was in type, we
have learned from a gentleman from
Nashville, that the Bank has not sus-
pended, though the brokers Of that
place are rejecting its money. The
bills, except the cambridge bills above
described, are neither bankable, MOI

Threatened Difficulty with France.

A Washington dispatchsays: at
has leaked out Of the State Depart
ment that the French government
has assumed a position in relation to
certain Russian vessels that have
been transferred since the commence
ment Of the Eastern war, to citizens
of the United States, being at the
time Of the transfer in American
ports, which it is likely will make
difficulty unless the President backs.
A list of the vessels has been fur
nisle to- Mr.. Mason, our Minis
ter at Paris, and the determination
ayowed on the part Of the French
and English governments to hold
them as lawful prizes ofwar If they
are captured. Mr.. Mason, it IS re-
ported, exhibits some apprehension
on the subject. The correspondence
will probably be called for in a few
days

Recognizing the County Courts.

The Legislature at its recent ses-
sion passed a bill creating and fegu~
Hating the Office Of County Judge
The bin provides sthat there shall
be elected by the qualified voten Of
every county in the State, person
learned in the law, to be styled the
County Judge, who shall hold hisofiice
for the term Of four years. It abol-
Iishes the Quorum County Courts, and
confers upon the County Judge all
the jurisdiction and powers now be-
longing to that Court He is to hold
the County Courts and preside at
the Quarterly Sessions, and exercise
I the same powers, jurisdiction and
authority now exercised by the Chair
man Of the County Court. He is to
have all the jurisdiction and power

Administrators, Executors, Guardians
Wards, Trustees, wills, dowers, and
negroes, and all testamentary and adj
ministrative matters, or subjects con-
nected Herewith, and questions Of
lunacy. He is also constituted the

i The election for Judge is fixed fol

Bounty Land Claimants.

The Washingtont correspondent q
the Philadelphia Inquirer, in letter
dated Feb'y l9, says:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1866.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Jones
of Tennessee, into the House yes
Iterday, and which passed without OBJ
lection, is Of considerable importance
to the claimants of bounty lands,
and some explanation of it may graf.
Iify and interest your readers. Up to
1866, the applicant could substahti-
ate his claim by the affidavits oftwo
or more This comrades, who testified
to his actual service, and established
his identity. Last year, however,
an Act was passed, one section Of
which required claimants to es.ab-
lish their rights to its benefits by re.
cord evidence, such as the original
muster roll, etc. This is not always
possible, and almost always impracti-
cable, and many have since been put
to great inconvenience in conse-
quence thereof while some, whose
claims we're unquestionable, found
themselves totally unable to sub
|stantiate them, according to the re-
|guirements Of the law. The bill OF
Mr.. Jones repeats SO much of that
particular section as was obnoxious,
and which required record evidence,
leaving the matters of Identification
and proof ofseryice as they we're be-
fore its passage. Mr.. Jones deserves
the thanks of that numerous class
whose interests are thus materially
benefited and advanced.

The Louisville Courier al. old.
line phig paper, says Of the know
nothing nominations
"AliIlard Fillmore received The
nomination for President, and a. J.
Donelson Of Tennessee, for Vice
President. Mr.. Fillmore is unques-
tionabIy The strongest man for the.
South that the party could nominate,
but be has no popularity whatever at
the North, and in view Of the action
Of the secessiouists probably could not
carry single Northern State. At the
South, where he is strong, the party
is weak, and he has no chance Of
carrying a single Southern State.
except Kentucky, which be will also
probably lose. DoneIson is a weak
brother, who joined the know-noth
|ings because Pierce would not give
him an Office. Instead of help to
the ticket he will be a decided draw
back in the Sosth."
The Louisville Democrat says:
"Tbe assemblage Of political gam
blers at Philadelphia have nominated
Fillmore for President and A. j.
Donezson for Vice President--the
north seeding generally. We pre-
sumo they don't expect many votes
for such ticket. The nomination
falls dead all over the north, and
can only look for its support to the
South. Two or three Southern
States are the utmost that any man
Of sense in the party can hope to
carry. The Democrats are now
sure Of all the free States, except
half dozen that are thoroughly aboIi-
ton, and which the Black Republi-
cans will carry. and wepresume South.
fern people are too smart to throw
away their votes on such ticket
land run the risk Of committing the
election Of President to the present
Congress. Indeed. there is no dan.
tger that this ticket will make g
serious diversion 10 the contest. The
Black Republicans are the party tc
be beaten. They are united 10 com
mon objects aud purposes; they
don't meet to quarrel and split tc
pieces. They are forming powerful
compact, and dangerous party. In
this state Of things the country il
coolly invited off upon an asinine
expedition againt the Pope and for.
eigners. We shall see if anybody
South is fool enough to follow"
