special TO the st. Louis Republican,
NASHVILLE, June The Secretary Of
the Committee on Securities, New York
Stock Exchange, has written to the Sec
retary of State of Tennessee, saying that
a difficulty has occurred in negotiating
Tennessee State bonds, owing to the So
called secession of the State, All per
cent bonds are dated January LIST. Of
course it is impossible to tell what time
the bonds are issued. In Consequence of
this, the Committee on Securities, New
York Stock Exchange, required, previous
to selling bonds dated January lst, 1861,
to prove they were negotiated prior to the
so-caIled secession. The State Commit
tee feared some bonds had been issued
after that date, aud the State would not
acknowledge them Secretary Fletcher
replies From all the facts that have
comet to my knowledge from the books
and papers | have had access to, no
fraudulent bonds of this State are now
extant or that the State is not bound for,
except the rebel military bonds. San
guine of our ability to meet the interest
on our bonds hereafter, the July coupons
we expect to pay, fnot always promptly,
