says an old proverb; true, they do not /;
it would be we'll if their power were lin
tied to such fractures they do infinitely
worse; they break hopes which may have
been the life and nourishment Of a young

the high aspirations of many bright and

threads of affection that were fondly
deemed all-enduring and immortal, and
they break (perhaps irredeemably) many

The driver paid no heed to the com

No attention being paid by the driver
to this command, plain, blunt man, who

CANCELIING REGTsTRATIONS.

Under the act of March Sth, 1867, the
Registration Of Davidson was cam
eelled, and the Governor was EN-
powered to declare the registration of any
county in the State null and void by
proclamation.
On the 18th of April, he issued procla'
nation canselling the registrations of
Benton, Coffee, Franklin, Hardeman,
Humphreys, Lincoln, Stewart and Will
hanson. New commissioners were APP
pointed in these counties, and the work
has been commenced anew. That in
Stewart county was abruptly stopped a
few days since, and whether it will be
resumed again depends upon the will of
the Capitol clique
On the Both of May, 0gerton was re.
manded to Acknowledgement, on the 4th
of June, Marion met similar fate, and
or the 10th Of jane, the registration of
Warren was declared cancelled because
some of the voters on the poll books of
March, 1865, did not Oote for Brolonlolo
and the entire State ticket The fran
chise law doesn't make it requirement
that voter in that or any other election
should have voted for Brownlow, or voted
an unscratched ticket Of any sort 1t is
a pretty preteXt The true reason is that
the Warren county poll list was not re.
liable for Radical purposes. On yester-
day, Giles was numbered with the dis
franchised counties
The absolute power over this question
vested in Gov Brownlow will enable him
to concel any registration now in pro-
gress, and disfranchise, at any moment,
whomsoever he will yet, this is called q

plaintiff, Pryalan, put this interrogatory
to the American government, whether
there was any law of the United States by
which property contributed by any inhab-
itants of State in the Union could be
claimed by the national government. The
reply was, that the United States claimed
1t under the law of nations. 1t was contended
in behalf of plaintiff that this answer was
not sufficient, and must be amended. The
Vice Chancellor held that the United
States government was bound to answer this
question: Do you admit or deny that there
was de facto government which exercised
authority over the State of Texas? Pro-
ceedings were therefore adjourned.

WASHINGTON, June ia prize fight
between Collier and Aaron occurred at
Aqua Creek, this morning, lasted about
two hours. Sixty-eight rounds were
fought. Aaron won the first blood and
the first knock down. Subsequently he
stood on the defense till the close Of the
fight, and played drop-game. Golfers
face was beaten to Jelly, and his left eye
completely closed. He came up boldly.
however, every time, till time was called
on the sixty~ninth round, when he was too
weak to respond. Aaron was then de-
clared victor. Immediately afterward he
tainted. and was laid side by side with
Collier. 1t is generally conceded that
Aaron had three ribs broken on the fourth
round. Before the fight closed, it is esti-
mated that several hundred thousand dol
lars changed hands on the fight.
Judge Landon to-day, in the Criminal
Court, filed motion to set aside and va

The National Intelligencer says we have
authority for the statement that at a very re
cent consultation of the Cabinet, it was de
cided that the military officers in command
of the fifth military district, into which
the ten unrepresented Southern States are
divided, have no power to remove civil Off
GERS, deriving their authority from State
governments, as now organized. The ques-
ton We understand had more Immediate
reference to the removal of the Governor
and other city civil officers of Louisiana
by General Sheridan, but of course it will
apply to the action Of the four other COM
manders. No doubt the forthcoming opin-
ion of the Attorney General will be in
accordance with the reasoning Of which it
is understood the reason referred to was ar
rived.
1t will fairly justify the legality and pro-
priety OF this determination, and it scarce
y need be suggested for the issuing of or
ders replacing the disposed officers, which
may become necessary as a consequence
This decision of the government would be
no good ground for application on the part
of Gen. Sheridan to be relieved from the po-
sition be holds, much less to warrant in
ference. The administration eontemplates
or desires his removal for his services.

Here was an administration that came
into power at time when every incen-

away as if the money had been burned

unjust-bow they swell the amounts

Now look at the expenditures Of Gov

Secretary of State compares those of the
Fletcher Brownlow administration Those
of the former are expenditures mainly to
meet specific appropriations by for

been created by the administration and
its Legislature Secretary Fletcher must
have been in one Of his most thoughtless
moods when he instituted so damaging a
comparison
Look now at the taxes which the peo-
pie of Tennessee have to pay. In 1860,
under the Harris administration, the tax
was seven cents on the 500 of property
and thirty-fve cents on polls. Under the
Fletcher rownlow administration the
tax is twenty-five cents on the 500 of
property and one dollar on polls And
the increase on privileges has been cor

YALE COLLEGE STATISTICS.

We gather the following college items
from the Yale CourdHt of last week. -
The class of 1867, which will finish its
course Of study with the exercise Of Pre-
sentation Day, on the 10Th inst, entered with
one hundred and thirty members; re-
ceived twenty-nine more during its course
has lost sixty-six, and graduates one hun
dred and one, of whom eighiy~one were
| original members.
Twenty-three States and the West Indies
are, or have been represented in this class.
Eleven of the class have been soldiers in
the Union army and one in the Rebel
army.
Twenty nine don't shave, four have
nothing toshave, nine are hopeful of having
something, aud the rest are more or less
| bearded
The matrimonial statistics are as follows
| Engaged twelve; were engaged but are not
! now, seven fond of the ladies, six; afraid
of the consequences, two object to Caudle
| lectures" FIVE; welded to Bac-chus rather
| than Venus, twenty~one; waiting for
something to turn up" twenty; conscien-
| tiously opposed TO taking contracts, twenty.
The intended pursuits of the class are:-
Law, 42 medicine, 8; divinity, IS; en-
gineering, 6; editing, 3 /; mercantile busi-
ness, IA teaching, 6; geology, ; unde-
eided, IS
The Yale Law School will graduate
twelve members this year, of whom six are
from Connecticut In the class are two
Radical Republicans, three Conservatives,
six Democrats, and one rebel, who was in
the Southern army, and fraternises with
the Democrats.
1t is a remarkable fact that out of more
than one hundred graduates, no one has ex-
pressed his determination to be farmer.
The idea that tilling the soil is low call
ing peryades the northern as well as the
southern mind. This is the bane of our
country, and is doing more than all the re
construction acts to impoyerish the land
The political status of the low class is
remarkable for that latitude. Only two
Radical Republicans in class of twelve
does not bode prosperity to radicalism.

HIGH TAXES AND EXPENDI-
TURES"---A DAMAGING con-
TRAST,
In the speech published in the Press
and Times, which purpOrts TO have been
delivered by the Secretary Of state at
Cleveland on the Sd inst, and which Is
intended as a yindication Of the Fletcher
Brownlow administration against the
damaging expose Of Col Baxter, this
statement is made,
at viii take but few minutes to dis
pose Of Bakers cant about high taxes
and heavy expenditures. While il Is true
that our taxes are oppressive and expenses
heavy, il is equally true that every amount
given and statement made by this reiermer
are willfully exaggerated. II he had the
items before him. as / have here, he saw
and knew that every dollar Of additional
expense incurred by the State government
was the direct and Legitimate fruit of that
rebellion in which he tried so hard to fig
ure, and did figure as an orator and Office
seaker. Let us see how the account stands.
have here an official statement, taken
from the books of the Comptroller, from
which it appears that the expenditures of
the last two years, ending May lst, 1867,
amount to S2,453,33 have also the re-
port of Comptroller Dunlap, showing the
expenditures for the years 1860 and 1861
to be 81, 72l ,851 80. But these
official documents do show an excess Of ex.
penditures Of S731, 4s0 for the last two
years over the years 1860 and 81. Every
fair-minded man will wonder, in view Of
the widespread ruin that existed in 1865,
that the increase of expenditures has not
been much greater"
As Secretary Fletcher has thought
proper to institute comparison between
the expenses of the present administra-
ton and that of Gov Harris, as shown
by the report of Comptroller Dunlap, let
us see what this comparison will show
in detail 1t should be borne in mind
that Mr. Dunlaps report shows the ex =.
penses for the years 1859 and 1860, and
not 1860 and 1861, as enormously stated
by Secretary Fletcher

lures of the Fletcher Brownlow admins
