FIFTY MILLION ANNUAL EsTiMATEs.-
Washington dispatches represent the va
rious heads of departments as curtailing
their annual estimates so as to keep the
aggregate expenses for the next fiscal
year within fifty millions of dollars
This is done in obedience to resolution
adopted during the last session of Con-
yress. 1t NAV be easy enough to keep
down the estimates to the prescribed fig.
CURE; but when the appropriation bills
come to be acted on by Congress, twenty
or thirty millions more will be added on
in the shape of French spoliation bills,
Indian war debts, public printing. and
other schemes for depicting the national
Treasury. With all the spoismen in both
houses and the lobby, there is very little
prospect Of being able to keep down the
appropriations for the next fiscal year to
less than seventy or eighty millions.
The DEsPoTIsM OF DEMocRAcY.-We re-
print the following graphic description
OF Democracy by John w. Forney, from
his press. Is it not "holding the mir, or
Ito nature:"
There never was in this country, since
it secured its freedom from the yoke OF
Great Britain, more complete exhibi-
Administrator presents in its relation to
the Democratic party. Men are pursued
for honestly entertaining op mons so or
thodox that none dared 10 question their
correctness two year, ago, with as much
vindicitiveness as if they were the YER ta-
able outcasts and felons of society. All
the machinery of the Government is
brought to bear upon them, so far as its
tl,,. and ,vitb Ia
! lnalignity, and in as tyrannical and tero-
cious spirit, as any dcspot of Europe
ever evinced against the champions OF
/ liberty. There is scarcely a classic appeal
against existing tyranny in any age OF
country that does not present many stri'
/ king points of applicability to the pres
! cnt position of the Democratic party in
its relations with the treacherous servants
who now assume to be its masters. There
never was a greater mockery upon any
cause, just in itself. and which possessed
a hold upon human sympathy. than the
application of the word democratic tC
the Federal Administration. or the contro
of the Democratic party by its officials
They illustrate and enforce, by theii
daily acts and policy, nearly every tyran
nical theory, every anti-Democratic doc
trine, every despotic sentiment that ha'
disgraced the human race"
The COUNTER NOTE SYsTEM.-The fol
lowing is the bill, reported by Mr.. Ben
nett. from the Committee on Banks, il
lieu of Mr.. Critz's bill on the subject o
counter notes:
Be il enacted BY the General assembly Q
the State Of Tennessee, That the counte
note system, as enforced on the Bank o
Tennessee, by act of the Legislature O
the 2Sth Of January, 1858, be, and tn
same is hereby repealed. But that tn
Bank of Tennessee shall adopt the coun
ter note system on the LIST day of Janua
ry, 1868, or the said counter note system
shall be in full force and effect wheneve
the Union and Planters Banks of Ten
nessee shall accept the restrictions of tn
act passed by the Legislature of Januar
2Sth, 1858.
BE il further enacted. That this act shal
take effect from and after its passage.
New SEWING MAcHISE.-The great Va
riety of Sewing Machines already brough
out would seem to indicate that that d,
partment was pretty well worked up
But we see a live Tennesseean has entel
ed the field. The jackson Wing says:
"Mr. Geo. w. Mitchell, of jackson
Tennessee. has invented Sewing NJ
chine, which promises to lay aside ever
thing that has ever before been attempte
in that way. We have minutely exam
ined it. and we do not see how it is POI
