H6s~ The hesitancy Of our niger Leg
islature about the Indemnity Bill is but
the beginning of the financial troubles
in store for the present regime. No
lawyer has ever doubted that Tennessee
pledged her credit to the acceptors of
notes issued by the old State Bank
Brownlow's effort to repudiate these
notes is likely to be checked. Moneyed
rights, it would seem, are not so readily
disposed of as political rights. A cor
respondent of the Nashville Gazette sums
up the situation as follows
During the war people outside the
Federal lines did not dare to take green
backs for cotton, and believing that the
faith of the State was pledged for the re-
demption of the notes of the State bank
they took them for cotton. The State
bank notes were consequently worth
from three to FIVE per cent more
than greenbacks. When subsequently
the notes were offered in payment for
taxes the State refused to take them. A
case was tried and went against the
State. 1t was carried to the Supreme
Court of the State, which in a lame de-
cision made the result turn on an Incl.
dental poist whether the party held the
notes prior to the repeal of the law
whereby the State guaranteed payment.
The case was carried up to the Supreme
Court of the United States by the parties,
and decision is expected in December
or January. That it will be in accordance
with previous United States decisions,
and will require the State to meet her
liabilities, scarce any lawyers in the State
doubt. If it is so it will compel the State
to take every dollar of her revenue in
State bank notes, which will not be Of the
slightest service in sustaining the State
government. Under these circumstances
the greatest apprehensions are felt 1t
would be the part Of wisdom for our
Legislators TO meet the difficulty by an
ticipating it. Providing the State Bank
notes issued prior to May LIST, 1861,
and giving interest bearing twenty or
thirty year bonds, or bonds receivable
for a certain proportion Of a mans taxes,
would be honest and would carry the
State safely through; but probably few
Of the legislators either know or care
what will happen next year with the
State, if they get their per diem for the
present session; at least they take no
interest in guarding against financial
disasters Of the State.

WASHINGTON.
The Trial of Jefferson Davis-Put-
ting Down Armed Organisations
in the District.

NEW YORK, November THE Her.
AIDS Washington special says that Dis
trict Attorney Chandler is working very
energetically in his preparations for the
trial of Jefferson Davis, intending to be
in readiness to commence the trial at
the coming term of the court, which
commences on the 25th inst. Mr.. Chand-
Ter is said to be engaged in framing an
indictment, and has notified the cousel of
Jefferson Davis that he would be
ready to commence the case at the
present term. Mr. Chandler is making
extraordinary exertions to be fully pre-
pared to begin the trial, so that the
blame for the postponement of it will
not rest on him, but on the senior
counsel for the government, M William
NJ. Evarts.
The President has granted pardon
to James A. Seldom, late Secretary of
War of the Confederacy, and the warrant
was placed in his hands to-day.
A Tribune special says the following
is copy of the order Of the President
for suppressing armed organizations in
the District of Columbia. 1t is ad.
dressed to Gen. Grant: 81 am reliably
advised that there are within the District
of Columbia numbers of armed organi-
cations formed without the authority of
the law, and for purposes which
have not been communicated to the
Government; being at the present time
unnecessary for the preservation of
order or the protection of the civil
authority, they have excited serious APP
prehension as to their real design. You
will therefore take official steps for
promptly disbanding and suppressing all
such illegal organizations. E" This order
is dated last Monday, the 4th inst, and
applies to all armed military organiza-
tons, whether composed of negroes or
white men.

RAJ We are not at liberty to give the
authority, but we are informed that Pres
ident Johnson has said to personal
friend that If the people of Tennessee
want convention they shall have it. j"
1t is a republican and inalienable right
of all free people to alter or abolish their
form of governmental right recognized
in the constitutions, and it is the sworn
duty of the President of the United
States to see that they are protected in
the enjoyment, and that all the States
have a republican government He
cannot do less; for any deprivation OF
such right to the people is tyrannical
exercise of power over them, which is
fatal to republican government 1t is
not to be presumed that any such inter
ference with a peaceable convention OF
the people would take place If it did,
it would be illegal, and without color Of
right, warranting suitable action in self
defense, and calling for the exercise Of
executive authority. We believe the
people of Tennessee do want a con-
vention." And we repeat, what we have
more than once said before, that we SCI
no reason why they should not have it
Some Of the press have already spoken
on this subject. And we hope soon u
have the views Of some Of our LEADING
and influential men. There is no law
full impediment or rightful reason VIII,
we should not have free and republican
government in Tennessee. And this,
We ever have it, will be the work Of
convention. II there is any good res
son for unnecessary delay, We do nc
know what It is.

The Tariff and the Cotton Tax.

The Radicals of Congress love the
manufacturers Of New England and hate
the people of the South. This love and
hatred takes from the pockets of the
laboring men and farmers of the West
many hard earned dollar. Thus :
The Radicals impose duties upon all
imported cotton goods, so that the New
England manufacturers may ask and
receive high prices. The poor people,
who, from the great mass of the people,
are in this way, compelled to pay to
the manufacturer of the East as a love
token, the difference between the price
of cheap English and dear New England
goods But this is not all. The policy
of hate also robs the poor people Of the
land. To punish the Southern people,
Congress imposed tax Of two cents q
pound on cotton. This tax, in the end,
is collected from the men and women
who wear cotton goods. A pound of cot
ton is raised. The factor swindles the
farmer by deducting the tax from, and
the manufacturer by adding it to the
price of the manufactured goods, which
he sells to the merchant, and the mer-
chant, adding profit, sells it to the poor
man in the shape of muslin, and other
goods.
Thus we see, that, while Radical love
II the East deprives the poor man OF the
right to buy where he can buy cheapest,
Radical hatred ofthe South compels him
to pay the cotton tax which was imposed
for the purpose of gripping Southern
industry.
This is fine specimen of Radical leg.
islation Duties are imposed to protect
New England against foreign COMPETE
ton. This increases the price of goods
used by the masses Then tax of two
cents pound is imposed upon the raw
material used by the New England
This still further in
creases the price of the goods consumed
by the masses. AS matter of course,
the increased price let's in foreign goods
again, and then higher duties are i'm
posed to destroy the competition,
whereupon the protected manufacturers
increase the price of their |
goods. And thus is the cost Of the |
goods used by the masses still further
increased. ~
1t SO happens thatthe war, stimulating
the growth of cotton in other countries,
created competition which has made /
The price of the present crop very low.
This fact, coupled with the other fact,
hat while prices were high the manu-
lecturers produced more goods than de.
nand asked for, thus.glutting the market,
explains why, in the face of such foolish
and wicked legislation, the prices of
cotton goods are not higher than at any
lime during the war. Congress did
everything it could to rob the poor man
% fill the pockets of rich manufacturers
If the East, and that it did not succeed
Is it desired is attributable to events
which no one anticipated.
If the cotton raisers of Southern Hi
,ois, and the poor people of the West, do
lot rebuke the Radical party for its
criminal Partially for the East, and its
wicked hatred of the South, they ought to
ufer. -Pittsburg Post.

1ay- A Memphi. correspondent Of Nc

Louisville Courier writes as follows
II is rumored that there have been
| 100000 somewhere defaulted In the
police department., and the fact that
police scrip floods the market, while the
funds from the city treasury and lines IN
the police court are far more than subj
cent to support the police department,
gives great probability TO the report.
Not long since the police commissioners
tried to get the county commissioners to
donate sixty thousand dollars to them out
of the funds Of Shelby county, and il is
supposed that this was to cover up any
defalcation If the Legislature should
order an inquiry. The county commits
sioners refused, and now the police COM
missiorers want them turned out, and
others put in who will be more liberal
They are Radicals together, and whether
the police or county commissioners will
come out first best depends wholly upon
the blacks. If going to bet, l would bet
on the police. Brownlow has always
been regarded as personally honest, but
unless he has pocketed part of the enor-
nous profits of the police department of
Memphis,I think he would hardly wink at
the contemptuous refusal of the Police
Commissioners to obey clear and
unmisakable law, passed to prevent or
detect police villainy. The probability
is that Brownlow got good share of the
sixty thousand dollars missing Whether
he did or not, he amt going to have the
rascality of his political supporters ex-
posed. II he got the sixty thousand
dollars or his whack Of it, he can retire
comfortably to Knoxville when the State
machine stops rs there is great danger
of it doing in January next.

1T is very manifest that it is the pur.
pose of the men who control the Legis-
lature to retain control Of the negro vote
by embittering the whole race against
their former owners. To this end they
are directing the enactment of laws that
they know will inevitably create occa-
sions for collision between the white and
black races They desire that collisions
should occur, hoping thus TO prevent the
negroes from becoming friendly with
the whites This is the main pnr-
pose with which the act forbidding
railroads and common carriers from
making distinctions between white add
black passengers was passed. They
hope thereby to curry favor with the
negroes, and they desire TO mortify the
decent whites; but a conflict is what
they seek and most desire. And they
will get what they seek. The attempt
to enforce any such laws will bring
about collisions from johnson 10 Shelby.
