A Herald story COntradicted--The Pres
ident EmphatiealIy Opposed 90 the
Constitutional Amendment--A New
Census--Iuerease I'm the Population.
New York, Sept. GA Herald Wash
ington correspondent says The statement
having prevailed that the President is about
to modify his policy TO the extent of recon-
mending the proposed constitutional amend
ment to the adoption of Southern unrepre-
sented States, authority is given for most
emphatic denial. The President considers
the amendments now proposed violation
Of the fifth article of the Constitution, and
therefore invalid, and it would be in contra
vention of his oath Of Office to encourage
them in any way. There is however, reason
to believe that he contemplates recommend
ing to Congress, at its next session-frst the
admission Of the representatives Of all the
States, and then the proposed amendments
to the constitution, embracing in less OBJ
jectionable form, the essential elements of
those now pending.
A valuable statistical table, giving the
rate of increase in population of the various
States of the Union since the census of 1860,
is being prepared, The census of 1865 has
been received by the Department from seven
States, and the increase of population, even
during the war, in which the mortality was
unusually great, is as follows: Minnesota,
forty per cent, Illinois, twenty-six per cent,
Wisconsin, twelve per cent, Iowa, twelve
per cent, Michigan, eleven and half per
cent, Rhode Island, four per cent, Massa-
chusetts three per cent. Taking the gen.
eral average of this increase, thirteen and a
half per cent. is a fair representation Of the
rates ofincrease in the other Census Bureau
estimates. The population of the United
States Territories has increased from 81, 49,
243, the number found by the census Of
1860, to 80, 800, 900.

General Dix Has an Interview with
the President.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-General DIX
had an interview this morning with the
President, and subsequently with Secretary
MCCULLoCH, and viii return TO New York
by this evenings train. Although nothing
definite is publicly known upon the subject,
several Of his personal friends say the pro-
liability is that he will retain the position Of
naval officer of the port of New York
A Times special says, up to a late hour
this evening, no intelligence had been re-
ceived from Gen. DIX, in reference TO his
acceptance or declination Of the French
mission. Il was freely reported on the
street to-day, that he had accepted, but
there was no authority for the rumor.
There has not been time for a reply in
the ordinary cource Of mails since the ap-
pointment was sent 1t was understood
here that Gen. DIX had qualified as Naval
Officer of the port Of New York, but that
does not debar him from accepting the
French Mission.
In reference to the general anxiety among
the applicants for positions in the re-organ-
lied army, nothing further can be said than
that the list Of field appointments, though
understood TO be nearly completed, is not
ready for announcement. The country will
be glad to learn that, under the careful SUI
peryision Of Secretary STANTON and Gen.
GRANT, such selections are being made.
Senior Romero, the Mexican Minister, re-
ceivod to-day the following official dispatch
from the Mexican Consul at San Francisco,
dated yesterday: " The whole State Of
Sonora is in possession of our troops, in
Guiding Fort Guamas, which was evacuated
by the French. This news Is positive. Gen.
CoRANo expects soon 10 be in possession Of
Mazatlan. JOSH A. GooDEY.
Senor ROMERO does not credit the Impe-
rial ruTnor OF the death of Gen. DTAz, near
Oaxica. Gen. DTAz, one Of the best Mexi-
can officers, is in the estimation Of Senior
ROMERO, 70 good soldier to allow himself
TO be surprised by the enemy.
Senior ROMERO does not allow much
credit to the reportedshooting ofM. Mourn
oHoS, son Of an officer in the French army
in Mexico.
The details Of the news render It hardly
possible that it is true that the bond Of Gen.
DIX, As naval officer Of the port Of New
York, was to-day fled and approved By the
Commissioner Of Customs, and the commits
sion delivered 70 him. The General had
separate interviews with the President, Sec
rotary Of War, and the Secretary Of the
Treasury. There is an unauihentieated

The great extent of this Estate furnishes every
variety of location. Persons wishing to be in the
city with the benefit of the schools and water,
have large number of beautiful lots to select
from; and those whose taste would lead them be-
yond the city limits, and yet be within a few min

tween one-half of mile and mile and half

NASHVILLE Sept %, '66.--EDIroRsU UNION
AND AMERIcAs.-In the election to-day
for Representative and city officers, it is i'm
portant that the citizens should know who
are entitled, by law, TO vote in the said cleo
ton, and it is the duty of the judges of cleo
ton TO see that none vote except those who
are qualified according TO law. can act to
limit the elective franchise" passed June 9th,
1865, prescribes the qualification definitely
and plainly of each voter.
SECTION /, Provides that every white
male inhabitant Of this State, Of the age Of
twenty-One years, a citizen Of the United
States, and a resident Of the county wherein
he offers his vote, six months next preceding
the day Of election, shall be entitled to the
privilege Of the elective franchise, etc.
SECTION 5, Of said act, Provides that no
person shall be entitled to vote at any State,
county, district, or municipal election held
under the laws Of this State, unless lac shall
have been registered and shall have received
a certificate therefor, as provided in tbs
Act.
These two sections constitute the govern
ing rules Of voting in all all elections of the
State, and no one can lawfully vote without
the qualifications therein prescribed. In
beCLlOn I'VE lneIe can DC no llloap pfeHelSlOu.
As section ! employs words purely tech
nichal in their Specification, it become us to
define them according to the Interpretation
given them by our Supreme Court and the
laws Of the land. The words referred to are
citizen and resident. A citizen ofthe United
States is a free white man, native or natu-
rallied, who has no home elsewhere, and
such citizen is entitled to the exercise of all
political rights in the States and Territories
Of the Union, subject however, to the local
laws Of such States and Territories.
Such residence as entities said citizen to
vote in this State is an unconditional, permsa-
nent, fired abode or dtceltiRg place, without
limitation or the existence of an intention
to change such local habitation at any future
time, and the residence must begin six
months before and continue up to the day
he may offer to vote. And this applies
equally to all citizens, soldiers and sailors.
This being the law of the State of Tennes-
seee, and of the land, it becomes all good
citizens to submit to it cheerfully until ii
shall be repealed, or declared imperative by
the Supaeme Court CONSERVATIVE.

THE NEW REVOLUTIONARY MOVE
MENT.-SIGNEFIOANT LETTER FROM
WENDELL PITILLTPS.

The following letter has been addressed by
WENDELL PHILLIPs to the Workingmen's
Committee of the Third Congressional
District
You bring me notice Of my nomination to
Congress by the Workingmen of the Third
Congressional District. / can find no words
hearty enough to express my profound sense
of the honor you do me in offering to trust
our momentous question, to that extent, in
my hands. appreciate, also, that tribute Of
your respect and your willingness to accept
my life in the place of pledge, asking no
other. Having worked thirty years in be-
half Of the labor Of one-half Of the nation,
nothing would give me prouder satisfaction
than to stand in Congress the representative,
IN special sense, Of the catSe Of labor throughout
the nation. Although, therefore, have hither-
to promptly declined all offers Of political
trust, still, sincerely DESTROYS to meet your
wishes, il possible, l have thoroughly re-
considered the whole subject, but come to
the conclusion, as heretofore, that cannot
accept the honor you offer me. | feel that
in accepting Office should, parado1ieal as
it may sound, incur responsibility to a far
greater extent than should gain power. I
do not sUish place Of responsibility WITHOUT all
the po,cer that should accompany ii. 1t seems
to me that | can, in present circumstances
serve our cause better out iof Congress than
in it. Let me congratulate you on this atspi-
eiOas opening Of our political movement. You
have shown that, if true to the flag, you can
decide on which head Congressional honors
shall rest. If we are thus true our move
ment, under the full sunshine Of public dis
cussion, will soon ripen to complete success.
Most cordially, your fellow-citizen,

He said that if ever POLLARD laid the

him or his printing Office and Richmond

We were not much surprised at the crazy,
demoniac spirit which pervaded the ha-
rangue Of this white niger, but we must
confess that the hearty manner in which it
was received by the audience took us some
what aback. We never saw such wild en-
thusiasm before. The audience shouted and
yelled in the most frantically delightful
manner for five or ten minutes at a time,
swinging their hats in the air, and hugging
each other in the frenzy of the moment. The
principles OF God and humanity have pro-
gressed more rapidly than we thought posi-

A WRITER in the Radical organ of this
city is raking among the records of the past
to prove that Judge BRIEN is unworthy of
the confidence Of the people of Davidson
county as their Representative in the Legis-
lature. Upon a close calculation, how many
votes does he expect to control by such
trumpery and nonsense? Not one. He is
not arguing to the people-the original,
sovereign and constitutional arbiters of
such questions. He is trying to make
case for ARNELL, MULLINS and Co., and
the packed committee on elections Of the
House Of Representatives, who abuse the
power to Judge Of qualifications" by erect
ing political tests for membership of that
body. He knows that they have overridden
the will Of the people in other instances. He
wants to furnish them with plausible reasons
for refusing to admit Judge BRIEE, and de-
flying the popular will again. What do the
Radicals care for the people? Let the peo-
pie note this and have a care for them.
