Legislation TO lquidate the DEBT and 10 reduce
the interest in an equitable manner, according
to what the debt was purchased at, and agree
able to the laws Of all countries relative to
excessive usury or interest, We can have no
objection. But we protest, first Of all, against
the job which appears to be in the belly Of
Mr.. Shcrmans bill, which will enable the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury to employ Jay Cooke 4
Co., or Others to pocket millions Of the peoples
money. The one per cent allowed for the
expenses Of funding in the original bill has been
struck out, and, as we understand It, the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury can now pay whatever he
may choose. One per cent was too much, was
unnecessary; but now there appears TO be no
limit for the expenses will be estimated as
part Of the necessary disbursements Of the
Treasury Department Then we protest against
any plan Of funding by which the fundholders
arc to draw from the country hundred per
cent more than they paid for the debt
While We are ready to accord to Mr.. McCul-
loch proper motives in his management Of the
Treasury and in his recommendations to Con-
gress, we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that
he is pupil ofthc Chase school Of 6nsnciers,
and that be is following in the same dangerous
course. If Congress be too ignorant on the
subject of our finances, It is his duty to en-
tighten that body. But we have seen nothing
from him, any more than from Congress, to
give us hope. The only hope we have left is
that the people at the next elections may send
q more enlightened and better class OF men to
Congress, who will begin with retrenchmens
and squelching the corrupt jobbing Of the pres
ent radical Congress, and end by reforming
the whole Of our financial system

THE KNOXVILLE AND CINCINNATI
RAILROAD SURVEY.

The application made to the Council to
furnish means necessary for an immediate
survey of the Knoxville and Cincinnati
road, though endorsed by the holders Of over
five millions dollars of the real estate of the
city, and passed upon favorably by more
than two-thirds vote of both branches of
Council, was defeated last night upon the
report of the Corporation Attorney denying
the legal right of Council to act in the
premises.
The opinion was unanimous that the
measure was of greatpublic importance, and
much regret was expressed at the turn
which was necessarily given to it.
Members of both Boards announced
willingness to subscribe literally towards
the survey, and did not doubt that the petit
TONERS would, under thecircumstances, take
the matter into their own hands.
1t can surely be no difficult matter to
raise the small sum Of eight or ten thousand
dollars, when such great public interests are
to be subserved, involving the very sal
walton of the city, especially as the subscrib-
ers will have full equivalent in the stock
of the road.
We understand that an able Engineer has
been secured, and that if he does not enter
the field in the next few days, the survey
will not be practicable presentwinter. The
most important time will be lost. Will not
our public spirited citizens move in the

TIE ELECTION INLINCoLN.

Mr.. j. F. MOORE, Conservative, received
ninety-one votes, and Alley SMITH, Radical,
sixty-three votes in Lincoln county at the
recent special election for Representative in
the foaterial district of Lincoln, Marshall
and Giles. About an hundred other votes
were cast, but were returned TO the sheriff
too late TO be counted.
These special elections, held under the
present franchise Law, serve to demonstrate
its utter absurdity. In Lincoln county there
are more than three thousand voters under
the provisions Of the Constitution, yet there
are not the tenth Of that number who are
admitted to the ballot-box. The same is
the case in Maury, Giles, Marshall, Sum
ner, and majority of the counties in Mid
die Tennessee, if not throughout the State.
This is the broadest sort of burlesque on free
republican institutions. 1t is the most palpa-
bic demonstration ofan oligarchic government
ever exhibited in this country. The English
limitation Of suffrage is infinitely more lib
eral and free A limited monarchy has
greater freedom than an absolute oligarchy.
While the monarchical sentiment of Britain
is laboring for judicious extension of
suffrage, the model republics of America are
limiting it to tenth or twentieth of the
constitutional voters of the State.
Such is the farce, which is being played
on the political boards in Tennessee. While
it has all the features of the broadest and
most ridiculous burlesque it is MORALLY
stabbing the public liberties. 1t may, per-
haps, do for a by-play following tragedy Of
most absorbing interests; but if the present
Legislature adjourns without giving the peo-
pie some assurance that they can participate
in their own government, they will find that
popular government cannot be restricted to a
! selfconstituted few.

TORONTO, Nov. 9.-The court met at 10
o'clock this morning. with the same counsel
for the Crown and defense as at the previ-
Gus trials.
Peter Curran, alias Daye, and Henry Sa-
vale in the dock. The former a tall, stout
man, light complexion, blue eyes, moustache
and beard, and has the appearance Of la
boring man, and seemed to be between forty
and fifty years of age. Henry Sayalle, is
about the same age, dark eyes and hair, and
most unassuming countenance; he was
dressed in a shabby suit of black, and wore
a white neck-tie.
Mr.. Mckenzie: move, my Lord, in these
cases to quash the indictment on the same
ground as in the O'Neill case, and the farther
ground that the ofense took place previous
to the passing acts 90 and 80, vice chapter
9TH. The indictment having been read to
the prisoners by direction, their counsel plead
not guilty.
His LOrdship: When are you likely to be
ready with their trials.
Mr. Mckenzie: / am afraid, my Lord, not
for some time, as there are number Of wit
nesses we require which have not
been able to procure-better let the time be
indefinite.
Hoa. J. II. Cameron: It would be better
il my learned friend could name some day,
so that we might have our witnesses there;
the Crown has been put to considerable ex-
pense and we are prepared to proceed in all
the cases in which true bills have been
found.
Mr.. Mckenzie: Before the day is over its
my intention 10 make proposition to my
learned friends, whereby the remainder Of
these cases may be deferred until next as

THE REMAINS OF GENERAL ROGER
w. HANSON.

According TO previous announcement the
remains Of this gallant chieftain were disin-
TERED and taken 10 charge yesterday, and
will be carried to Louisville to-day, to be
deposited in his native soil to take their
final repose. The engagement in which he
fell was, perhaps, the most important in its
results Of any that was fought during the
war. He knew it, and though contending
against most fearful odds, he eXerted all his
ability and enthusiasm to produce a differ
snt termination Of the grand three days con-
iict before Murfreesboro. Thoughhe failed,
he gave the highest testimony to his cour-
age and sincerity, and yielded his name to
immortality in his fall. The Louisville
Journal, of yesterday, pays to his character
the following just tribute
"RoGER w. HANSON was a man of re-
markable qualities of mind and heart. He
felt strong regard for his friends and had the
/ mower 10 attract the strongest regard from
them. With but ordinary education, ne
had extraordinary strength of intellect di-
rect. vehement and irresistible in its move
ments, and a natural keenness and sagacity
rarely eaualled Whether at the bar or in
| legislative halls or in the rough conflicts OF
a political canvass, he was ever most for
midable antagonist, whom few, however
great their confidence in themselves, were
| unreluctant to encounter. He never felt
more at home than when he found himself
and a strong foe-the stronger the better
graphing like two lions in an amphitheater
"Yet ROGER w. HANSON was of most
kind and gentle nature, ever delighting IN q
circle Of congenial friends and ever the life
of il. Upon such occasions he was Away:
ready to throw himself upon the free anc
bounding waves of passing enjoyment anc
let them bear him whithersoever they would
In his hours of social hilariousness, he
seemed not 30 much 10 possess the wild spiri
of fun as to be possessed by it. And yet h'
had true and high and earnest soul, no
less capable of sternness than Of joy. Hi

TUEINDIAN DIFFICULTIES.

From the Chicago Timcs.l
Upon his retirement from Office Judge
COOLEY, Commissioner Of Indian Affairs,
gave utteranoe TO the following:
There is not a hostile tribe Of Indians
with whom we are in treaty relations on the
American continent, and there is no tribe
not in such relations with whom it can be
said we are at war-only here and there
there are outlaw Indians, as there are out
law whites, who commit occasional depreda-
tons. These, with prudence and vigor, can
be caught and punished. If justice, only
Justice is now melted out to all, and our
treaty stipulations kept in their spirit by the
Government, there viii never be another In
dian war. eren Aoaqh 50 loudly demanded b.
aruly contractors, and those rho tatien on dic
spoiis q 5udr.p
This is exactly what has been reiterated
time ard again by the Chicago Times. We
| have all along known and insisted that the So
called threatened Indian war was nothing
else than the mercenary clamors Of frontier
towns and traders in want of contracts and
/ the privileges Of feeding troops. II Provi-
/ dcnce should ever conclude 10 annihilatC
this country, three-fourths cf the causes for
/ such a course would be found in OuI
! thoroughly atrocious treatment Of the In
dians. While We have given freedom q
negroes. we have numbered red men. The
game OF murder stiIl goes on; and there ar,
not lacking protessedly respectable newspa-
! pers which lend their assistance 10 the in
human work.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. The trouble
between the Sultan's Government and the
Cabinet of the United States, growing out of
the conduct of Turkish officials toward the
Consul and Consulate of America in the Is

PARIS, Nov. THE ships which have
been ordered for the service of removing the
French troops from Mexico, are ready to
sail. The Moniteur of to-day says that Maxi
milan will remain in Mexico
BERLIN, Nov Prussia sees in the APP
pointment of Baron Buest, as Minister of
Foreign Affairs of Austria, an attempt on
the part of the Cabinet Of Vienna to inter

view is correct, it will impel Prussia TO COM
plete more quickly and surely her natioaal

VENICE, Nov. king Victor Emanuel,
the ruler of united Italy, entered the city at
eleven o'clock this morning. The patriarchs
of Venice received his Majesty in the
Church of St. Mark, where a Te DEAN was
chanted in honor of the event. The recep-
ton given by the municipalities and people
was magnificent, and great joy was mani
tested everywhere. Thecrowd which turned
out was so immense that the troops were I'M
able to defle before the King for want of
space.
The National Guard of Venetia has been
modified.
The Herald's Paris correspondence says
General Gastelnau will arrange for the re-
tirement of the French troops from Mexico
en- ulaSse, as Napoleon thinks that the march
by detachments would be inconvenient. 1t
was considered that France would be relieved
of two huge incubuses-Mexico and Rome
at about the same time.
The Empress Of Mexico, now called the
Princess Charlotte, is affected with a re-
ligious monomania, always bewailing the
injustice done the church in Mexico, and
that her case is hopeless of cure. Tits said
the unfortunate lady has attempted suicide
by jumping from a window.
The Herald's Dublin correspondent says
the Bright banquet in Dublin promises to
