ES- The Nashville Patriot demands proc
from us of the item of two hundred thousand
dollars, which we charged the Bank of the
State of Tennessee was in default, ha wing PAID
that much more than was due on coupons.
We derived our information from gentle
men who spoke advisediy, having been in
Nashville and ascertained the facts authorize.
lively, which we published. An old direc tor
in that State Institution. which has interwO-
ven its interests so closely with the people
says he will supply any omission. which the
investigating committee, in the press OF busl-
ness now on their hands, may make. BY the
way. it has been rumored that the Bank OF
theState of Tennessee bypothecated the Stock
OF the Uuion and Planters Banks. which the
Legislature set aside for banking capital, and
it is not now available for that purpose.
Another letter from Cave johnson, the Pre-
sidcnt of this State Institution. will make its
affairs clear as mud.-Mmphis Eagle and
Enquirer.
Your information was untrue. No one
could. therefore, have given you the facts
'-advisedly" and "authoritatively" for no
such facts, as you professed to give, exist.
We no. only demanded of you proof of the
.'item of two hundred thousand dollars, which
you charged the Bank OF Tennessee was in de-
fault, having paid that much more than was
due on coupons;" but we demanded proof al
SO of your charge that the Bank, instead OF
cancelling coupons, allows them to get out of
its possession and be paid over again. Both
charges are untrue, and you have not yet
either withdrawn them, or given your proofs.
Instead of repairing the wrong done, yon so on
doing more mischief on the authority of ru-
H. aka hat no
Bank of the State of Tennessee hypothecat-
ed the stock of the Union and Planters Banks
which the Legislature set aside for banking
capital, and it is not now available for that
purpose Is another misrepresentation The
mother Bank has purchased the stock set
aside for the new branches, and is furnishing
them their capital. What does our contem-
porary mean by thus bcdraggling his reputa-
ton for credibility in the mire of misrepre-
sentation?
word now about coupons. The Bank of
Tennessee comes in possession of no coupons
except those taken up by her agent in New
York, upon the payment of instalments OF in
t.rest as they fall due. These coupons are
Immediately cancelled, and pasted for prcser-
walton in book kept for that purpose. There
they remain, subject to inspection. All
is right so far as they are concerned. Other
coupons are paid in this way: The owner or
his agent presents them to the Comptroller,
who receives them and gives a warrant on the
Treasurer, in their place, the warrant Is pre-
scented to the Treasurer. who takes 1t up, and
gives the presenter a check upon the Bank.
Tue Bank pays the check on presentation. OF
course, then, the Bank having never received
these coupons, does not permit them to get
out and be paid over again. The responsible
lily of cancelling these coupons rest upon the
Comptroller's Office.

Hanks and Ranking Democratic
POLICY.

Democratic journals are constantly enter
tanning their readers with lectures upon the
evils of banking as illustrated in the policy
pursued by the banks of Tennessee. They
roundIy assert that the system is rotten in it.
self, and that nothing good can come of it.
We doubt not they have succeeded 10 a consid-
cradle degree in indocfrinating with their no
tions the masses, who have nothing TO do with
banks but to use the notes they put in circu-
lation. Now, this is all right enough, provid-
ed these democratic anti-bank doctors are
ready with remedy, and can screw up cour-
age enough to administer it. We fear, how
ever, that this quantity of courage can never
be got into them. They profess to believe
that gold and silver is the remedy, but they
are apparently afraid to resort to its use. If
they have confidence in their own judgment
as all doctors ought TO have-and in their
remedy, they should not hesitate to give the
patient the benefit of it. We beseech them,
we entreat them, we beg them to come up to
the mark, and give us practical exhibition of
their skill. If this won't prevail, we dare and
defy them to attempt to apply their remedy.
They need make no excuses, the times are as
propitious as they ever will be. 1t $50 happens
that the last Legislature authorized vote to
be taken TO ascertain the wishes of the people
in regard to the calling of a Convention to
remodel the State Constitution, and provided
for the election of delegates and the meeting
of the Convention, should the voice of the
people be favorable. IL there be anything in
me Constitution which stands in the way of
the gold and silver project, the democracy
having majority of the voters with them, can
authorize the call of Convention, and brush
it out of the way. The way is open to the
party, then, to put their hard money theory
into operation. Will they avail themselves of
it If so, let the organs begin at once to
show their faith by supporting the call of a
State Convention, with view to change the
Constitution and prohibit the Legislature from
chartering any kind of bank. This will not
only attest their sincerity, but may be the
means of the realization of the success of their
remedy for the evils of our banking system.
If they will not take the chance now offered
let them I" forever hold their peace" say no
more about the virtues of gold and silver,
dry up" their fountains of lamentation over
the evils OF banking and bank barons, and
make up their minds to be content with the
currency provided for the people. There have
been wind, and gas, and humbug enough, on
the subject. Ifnothing is to be done, why own
up. and be quiet. as honest people should.
An incessant cry against banks, as rotten
swindling shops, wherein contributions are
levied upon the great masses, to support few
upstart, Goldfish aristocrats, who turn up their
noses at better men than they can ever hope
to be- can effect good purpose. Let it
cease and action take its place.

send out cruisers to prevent the abuse of the
flag of the United States. which had been
the cause of the difficulty.
Mr.. Disraeii said that the best despatch
that could be sent to America was the calm
and dispassionate spirit in which the House of
Commons was discussing the question. He
added that the American Government had
been invited to engage in measures to protect
each country against abuse of its flag. He
had confidence that the existing miseoncep-
tons would speedily disappear. He was not
annoyed at American ships of war being
sent into Cuban waters. because they would
there see for themselves what had taken
place.
The subject was then dropped.
The London Times of the 18th instant, in
leading article. congratulates the British
Government on having taken the advice of
the law officer of the Crown, whose decided
opinion is that by international law that
nation has no right of search-no right of
visitation whatever in time of peace. Upon
that opinion Git says) Lord Derby and his
colleagues are prepared to act. No English
cruiser has the smallest right TO interfere with
any ship bearing the flag of the United
States. save in so far as that right has been
conferred by treaty. They will, therefore,
withdraw the blockading squadron from the
Cuban waters, and there is an end of our
international differences upon this subject
Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1858-1860, 1858-07-06

ES- We republish this morning from the
National Lntell,gecer of the 30th ult, an ar
ticle in regard to the state of the controversy
between the Governments of the United States
and Great Britain relative to the " right of
visitation at sea-" The controversy, it APP
pears, has been brought to a satisfactory con-
cluson, the British Government, acting under
the advice of the crown lawyers, giving up
the right. We trust that this is an end of the
matter; and that those American journals
who took sides against their government. con-
tending that the right of visit was both ne
cessary and proper, and one which Great
Britain could not. and would not, abandon.
will reflect upon the injustice they have done
to their own regulations, and seek hereafter to
become a :. little more Americanized."
The tone of the debates in Parliament on
the subject is cOmmendable. There has been
no exhibition of i'll temper, members seeming
to be governed by the wise forbearance and
Cancellation which characterized the remarks
of Mr.. BELL, Mr.. CRrrTENDEN, and Gov.
HAMMOND in the United States Senate. The
surrender of the old claim, to establish which
so many of the arts and intrigues of diplomacy
have been employed, for generations past. is
made with the best possible grace. The man
ner, as well as the occasion, should be regard
ed as significant of the growing respect of other
governments for onrs, and the influential posi-
ton which we occupy amongst the great ma
tons. Let us but have another cycle of pros
perity and progress such as distinguished the
past half century, and our influence, all over
the globe, will be almost without limit. The
chief, probably the only, cause of apprehen-
sion, as to this result, is to be found in the
grave issues which arise to disturb our inter
nal tranquility, and 10 leopard the Union.
With the prospect of greatness and power
which continued prosperity and regard for the
constitution and laws, open to view, will not
the American people frown down all future at
tempts to ALLEVIATE the sections, and to engend-
er such hostility between them as will result
in disunion or revolution? We will not be-
lieve they can be so untrue to themselves and
to posterity, as to pursue any other course.

"The Executive Government is engaged in
