THE CHOLERA.


Il will be seen from the 'Mortuary Re
port" this morning, that there has been no
diminution in the fatality Of the scourge
with which VIC are afflicted. The Faculty
seem at a loss TO account for its defiance Of
the ordinary rules Of hygeine. For two
days we had a remarkably fresh, bracing
and apparently pure atmosphere; but the
mortality was as great as ever under these
apparently fayorably circumstances. Yes
terday there was an elevation of tempers-
ture, with a shower from the west at nine in
The morning, and still there was an increase
of mortality. The disease seems to battle the
most careful observations, and to upset the
most plausible theories. II is probably the
most eccentric Of all known diseases.
To our citizens we can only repeat the
recommendations Of our best physicians,
which are, to be prudent in diet, cleanly in
person, keeping the body warm and comfort
able, which is more surely done by flannel,
avoiding exposure and maintaining regulari-
~ Of habits. Upon the first symptoms Of
thedisease, send for a physician in whom you
have confidence. ~

NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN EAST TEN

G. M. HAzEN, JOHN WILLIAMS, Col.
BAxTER, JOHN NJ. FLEMING, Capt. PAT
TERsoN, F. S. HErsKELr., and other citizens
Of Knox county, have addressed a note Of
inquiry to their Senator and Representatives
in the Legislature on the following ques-
tions:

adult negro population of the State Of Ten.
nessee with the right Of suffrage?
I'd. Should your Legislature be recon
vened, will you vote for any resolution, bill
or act comforting the right Of suffrage upon
that negro in the State Of Tennessee?
They ask for direct and satisfactory an
swers." They are impelled to PROFOUND
these interrcgatories by the following decla-
ration Of BRowNLow in Philadelphia on
the Sth inst
We have but one more law to pass, and
that Is, law enfrsnchising the negro, and
We will do it next winter. We have two
reasons for doing this, the first is selfish
one---it Is necessary to have sixty or seventy
thousand votes TO kick the beam to weigh
down the balance agains; rebelism. The
second reason IL, because it is proper and
just, and VIC will simply be returning TO
where we were in 1888"
Inasmuch as this is now an overshadow-
ing question in this State, We suggest that it
would be proper for the people generally to
profound the same questions.to their respect

dates in the pending elections. Judge

THE ELECTION ON SATURDAY.

pecially urge upon the people outside OF the

The election may depend to great extent
on their votes; let nothing, therefore, pre-
vent our friends in the country from at

for Judge BRrEN.

THE TWO PER CENT. MERCHANTS
TAX

This onerous and outrageous tax is doing
more against the mercantile and general in
terests Of Tennessee than any law of finance
ever placed upon the statute books. Our
merchants have memoralized for its repeal,
but without effect. We have urged its re-
peal or modification in these columns time
and again; but our Radical rulers have
been more intent upon DISTINGUISHING the
people, passing constitutional amendments,
and spending the public treasure, than in
consulting the interests Of the people. We
will have to obtain a greater infusion of
conservatism is that body before we can
hope for better things. Judge BRIEN, APP
preciating the necessities of the great inter-
ests which are retarded by the present mer-
chants tax, has announced that if he shall
be elected, the first thing he will do, upon
taking his seat, will be the introduction of
bill repeating this Odious end onerous tax.
He will not LET it go to the calendar and be
forgotten but will urge it to a vote, and
passage il possible. While the Radicals
will be intent on giving the negro the ballot,
Judge B. will be laboring to defeat that out
rage, and to build up the great popular in
terests Of the State. Go, therefore, and vote
for him.

IMPORTANT DECISION-THE NOTES
OF THE BANK OF TENNESSEE RE-
CEIVABLE FOR TAXES.


Our readers will remember that sometime
since Messrs FURMAN & Co., merchants of
this city offered TO the County Court Clerk,
Of this county, the notes ofthe Bank of Ten
nessee, issued prior to the 9th day of May,
1861, in payment of their taxes. The Clerk
refused to receive these notes, and F'URMAN
& Co. thereupon applied to Judge NJ NJ.
BRIEN, of our Circuit Court, for writ of
mandamus to compel the Clerk to receive
the profered notes in payment of the taxes
due from them.
This, in brief, is the statement of the facts.
In view of the Importance of the questions
involved, the Judge, after the argument of
counsel, took the case under advisement
and on yesterday rendered his decision
granting the mandam1s, and ordering the
Issuance of the writ accordingly, requiring
the Clerk to receive the tender of the notes
of the State Bank issued prior to May 6,
1861, in payment of taxes, and to give the
proper receipts and acquittances therefor
The reasons assigned for. this decision, and
the arguments which influenced the Court
in coming to il, we do not give for reasons
unnecessary to mention.
Whether the Clerk will take an appeal to
the Supreme Court, we are not advised. .Ifh
rests the case on this decision, no other
clerk or collector, outside of this circuit will
Of course, feel bound by it. We think it is
due the people of the State that it should
go to the Supreme Court that all may have
the benefit of the decision, which we feel
assured will be affirmed by that tribunal.

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON GENERAL


The Radicals are greatly exercised over
the recent course Of Gen. GRANT in accom-
panying the President In the Western
States where his popularity is unbounded
and the elections are doubtful, they are re-
sorting to various expedients to create the
impression that he is really not in accord
with the President on political matters, but
merely accompanied him as a kind of off,
cial duty. In New England-up nearer the
hub-where BUTLER and BANKS are the
beau-ideals ofmilitary genius they are more
out-spoken in their displeasure at the recent
course Of General GRANT, as will be seen
by the following extract from the pen of
WENDELL. PHuLPs through the last Aati-
Sapey Standard:
Should any violent attack be made on Con-
gress and be successful, il would be the COM
mencement Of military despetism; il resis-
ted, II would be civil war. In this latter
emergency we have no hope Of aid from
Gen. GRANT. His voluntary presence at the
public interview Of these traitors, his osten-
tatous presentation Of himself in the dema-
bubuS = Aetluut uuEillG MS W eStern tour show
either the same pitiable weakness which has
made him lend his name to very questionable
cotton speculation in the South, not from
greed Of money, but to Oblige friends-the
same easy subservtency which made him sub
init to the farce of Southern express trick.
merely to bolster up with his name wicked
fraud--or they show a heart deliberately
ready TO betray his country. This is no
hard Judgment. Even if GRANT be. as
some Of his near friends assert. so ignorant
outside of a camp that he would not be fit to
sit on grand jury" still his intercourse
with leading members Of Congress enables
him well enough TO understand the meaning
which the country puts, and which the Presi-
dent means it shall put, on his present atti-
tude. Heis deliberately strengthening this
reasonable movement. In any conflict be-
tween the Executive and Congress, he will
be foand where all mere soidiersLroutine
cut-throats--have always been found; hold
ing up the hands Of despolism.
"A routine cut-throat holding up the
hands Of despotism," isn't precisely what a !
man would say about friend, is it, Messrs.
