Peace or War.

The New York correspondent
of the Louisville Democrat discus
sing the possibility Of war with
France, growing out of the Mexi-
can question, says:
There are some of the most long
headed men in Wall street-men,
/ mean, who are we'll posted up in
what is going on behind the scenes
in the State Department at Wash
ington-who are predicting to-day
{, that we shall be at war with France
in less than ninety days. The
diplomatic correspondence which
! the President has sent into Congress
lis referred to as foreshadowing
that event; but behind that cor.
Irespondence there are influences at
work. that do not make for peace.
Though Louis Napolern says, in
effect, that he will not withdraw
his troops from Mexico unless we
recognize Macmillan, and though
Mr.. Seward intimates in reply,
that this Government will never
accede to any such proposition, it
lis believed that an amicable solu-
ton of the difficulty could be ar.
rived at were it not for powerful
, outside pressure of certain parties:
who see in another war a renewal
, of fat army and navy contracts
and this pressure is strengthened by
another that receives its insplra
ton from the Mexican loan. That
, loan has been divided up among
, score or more of tricky politicians
principally Loyal Leaguers. The
, bonds at present are worthless; but
if the United States can somehow
be dragged Or pushed, into a wal
on behalf of Juarez, a value would
be given them which they woulo
not be slow to improve. 1t wa:
: these Mexican "bondholders,
principally that engineered the SO
called Monroe doctrine meeting
! that was held at the Cooper Inst
! tute on Saturday evening last, ane
, it is the class of patriots who are
constantly repeating the patriot
cry, "aMaximilian must get out of
/ / Mexico" and, elf he won't go ouf
peaceably, we must drive him ou
, by force" One of these fellows by
! the way, on that occasion, went GU
, of his way to allude to the late A
; braham Lincoln, as the second Sa
, yiour of makind.

A case of considerable interest
was tried by the Circuit Court tor
Bedford county at It's late session.
1t was an action brought on a note
given to be paid in gold. The
Shelbyville Union says the defend
ant rendered the greenbacks, but
thejury thought he did not tender
enough, so he lost the case. The
court charged the jury that the
United States Treasury notes were
a legal tender, but that plaintiff
was entitled to recover the amount
of the note and interest, together
with a difference between gold and
greenbacks, when the United
States Treasury notes first went IN
to circulation in this part of the
country. The jury allowed a diff
ference of four per cent.

President Johnson and
CONGRESS.

The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial tel
egraphs that paper on the 18th
inst. as fallows: "The committee
on Reconstruction had another
meeting today, at which several
important questions were discus
sed, but no conclusion was reached
on them. The question of admit
ting the Tennessee delegation has
not been fully considered. Pro
tests from the South, against all Of
the Southern members have been
filed"
The Washington correspondent
of the Louisville Courier tele-
graphs that paper on the same
day as follows: Southern mem=
bers are fully recognized by the
Executive Departmental the Gov
eminent. They have the frank.
ing privilege, and are notified to
appoint to fill the vacancies in the
regular army"
There is evidently conflict be.
tween Congress and the President.
and as the latter has 'Eset his foot
down." Congress must come to him
or break with him. Everybody
who knows Andrew johnson
knows that this must be the
result.

The New York Round Table
makes the following moderate and
sensible observations on the polit-
ical situation:
Thus far, it must be admitted,
the South has shown an excellent
spirit. The apparently good faith
in which it has complied with the
conditions imposed upon it by the
President for resuming its place IN
the Union, give it a claim upon
the Northern PEOPLE for the eNer-
else of magnanimity. This claim
the North is ready and willing to
grant. But the country objects to
the determination of men OF the
Sumner and Stevens stamp to
keep the Southern States out OF
the Union, and to punish the mass
of the Southern people for enga-
ging in the rebellion. IF history
has taught anything, it is that
there are but two ways to treat a
conquered people who are of our
own race and inhabit territory
contiguous to our own. We must
either incorporate them into oul
own nationality is equals, or ex-
terminate them root and branch
The people evidently prefer the
former policy, but majority OF
at least the lower branch of Con
gress are welded to the latter.

It is not surprising that Cover
nor Brownlow should recommend
the buildingof abranch of thepen-
itentiary at Knoxville, and anoth-
er at Memphis. There are now
four hundred convicts in the peni-
tiary at Nashville, and the Cover
nor estimates that there will be a
thousand in that institution before
the close of the year. At this
rate people will soon come to di-

The majority of the Committee
of Ways and Means, it is stated
have determined TO report bil
imposing a tax of three-fourths OF
one per cent. upon all sales, and
repeal the tax upon descriptions
of manufactures, which are con
sidered too vexatious and too diff
cult of collection. 1t is probable
however, that a tax upon sales vii
be found quite as vexatious ane
difficult of collection as the taxes
for which it is proposed to be sub
stituted. So says Washington
dispatch.
