"a curious statement was made to me In
private conversation few days since, by au

statement was anxious to know the reason

AMERICAN AEEV.RETFES.

Our anticipaiions in regard 10 the speedy
recovery OF American securities from their re-
cent depression in European markets, nre
fully realized by the latest accounts from
Frankfort, London and Amsterdam. While
in the event Of war, the demand for them
would increase with tho unpoputarity Of Old
world stocks, the growing belief in the
maintenance Of peace displayed Its effect In
no direction more auspfciously, than In tho
present rise Of United States bouds-
They arc held NOW to the extent OF upward
OF four hundred millions in Germany, Swltzer-
laud, Holland. and Belgium, aud since the
triumphant close Of the war By the Union
ar,u5, there has also been growing dlsposi-
tiou on the part OF English, and 10 some ex-
tent Of French stockholders to double their
irco,ne by substituting American for their
respective national securities. A re-
yo1utlon hns thus been Inaugurated in
the modes Of investment Of idle capital In
Europe, which reveals, In the most unmistak-
nb1c form, the preference given to tho secura-
ties Of the American Republic over those
OF the Old World oynast1cs, and indeed there
is no more elective argument In favor OF
popular Institutions than this anxiety Of the
stockholders of monarchicat countries to get
rid, as last Us they can, of their own scrip,
With a view Of deriving Increased revenues
from tic obligations guaranteed by

- Tho Senate OF Tennessee yesterday passed
tho franchise bill, and II Is now law. This bill
disfsnpchleaa over une-tcnths OF the people ot the
State.~~Iimts.
The franchise bill allows NIL white men who
did not give voluntary ald to the rebellion to
vote. It dis{snnch'ses rebels aud refuses the
franchise to loynl blacks, placing ex rebels and
cx-slaves on the snmc footing, leaving the
master and his servant "ont IN the wet."
We think ii is hnrd 10 put on loyal black men
the same disabilities as on white traitors, 4
friend and supporter of the Government who
is dark complicated merely, Is better entitled
10 vote than an enemy nnd antagonist Of the
Union, whose skin Is whitish. Loyalty Is cer-
tainly Of more value to the Government than
the color Of a mans cpidcrmis. The Copper
heads will hardly dispute this proposition.
