The Tennesseeans are very enthu-
siastic for General THOMAS as their
next candidate for President. A
correspondent sums up the reasons
for their partiality for the distinguish
ed General as follows:
The fact is based upon the personal
knowledge the people have of Gen.
eral Thomas; their warm approval
of every measure Of his military ad
minis$ration; their just appreciation
of his great abilities; their keen per-
ception of his sympathies for human
ity and freedom; and their abiding
confidence in his honesty and patriot
ism. They know that in our mighty
struggle for nationality and human
rights, General Thomas was sound
from the beginning; they believe that
neither in his military career, nor ad-
ministration of affairs since the war
closed, has he made single mistake;
they look upon him as one in whose
hands the sword has not fallen UNI
worthily; and with deep enthusiasm
and singular unanimity, they think
that, after the example of the ancient
worthless, he should be called upon to
Judge the people " in the Presidents
chair. Be sure they are not done in
this. The feeling is becoming appar-
ent elsewhere than in Tennessee.

Foreign Capital vs.. Home Capital.

At this time, when the monopolists
are urging Congress to keep out the
products of foreign labor, would it
not be equally proper to legislate to
keep out foreign capital2 Why should
foreign capital be allowed to compete
with home capital? Abroad it is
worth only four per cent, while here
tits worth from eight to ten. And
this excess goes into the pockets of a
purse proud aristocracy who have no
sympathy with our institutions. Be-
sides, this influx of foreign capital
keeps down the rate of interest, which
otherwise would go up to twenty-five
per cent. It's thus very evident that
I the American money-lender is de-
prived of his own market and his just
returns. If the American manufac-
turer is to be protected by duty of
seventy per cent, why not the Ameri-
can money-lcnder? Why discriminate
between money loaned on bond and
mortgage and that invested in iron, or
cotton, or wooden manufacture?
No State, perhaps, has suffered SO
much from foreign capital as Illinois.
1t built our canal 1T built our railroads.
Chicago, aware of the dangerous
tendencies of foreign capital, has al
ways steadily refused to lend her
credit to. any scheme of the kind.
Her citizens, in their individual ca
pacity, have but sparingly taken
stock; and yet, here we are the focus
of 100,000,000 of foreign capital in
vested in railroads. Our city is dot
ted all over with great station house
es, warehouses, and elevators, built
with foreign capital. Our rows of
stately stores, and our magnificent
private residences, in some instances,
are mortgaged to foreign capital,
which comes in direct competition
with American capital If we can
not have prohibitory tariff on for
eign capital, let us at least have one
of seventy per cent. Put a man who
wished 10 build railroad on the
same footing as the man who wishes
to buy pillow. or a yard of cloth.
Make him pay to the American mon
ey-lender seventy per cent more than
the current rate of London or Am
sterdam. In this way We can pro-
tect home capital, create home mar
ket, save ocean transportation, bring
the money-lender and money-borrow-
er together, and generally carry out
the American system, - Chicago

The CoIOred Pe0Die in CounciI.

A rousing mass meeting of the col
ored people of Memphis, Tenn, was
held in that city on the evening of
the 26th ultimo. Threats of disorder
had been freely INDUCED in by some
mean whites, but none was attempted.
The meeting was addressed by num-
Der of good sprekers. and adopted the
following resolutions as expressive of
the views of the recently enfranchised
slaves of that part of the State:
Res6lved By the hcolored people of
Memphis, IN mass meeting assembled,
That our thanks are due, and are.
hereby rendered, to the just and true
men who have in the past labored
zealously for our emancipation, and
more recently for our full enfran-
chisement, deeming them as rights
and privileges justly our own, and
whose labors have been actuated by
conscientious regard for the justice of
our cause, and who would cheerfully
invest us with citizenship from no
other motive than because it is right.
To them we are grateful, and for them
neither time nor circumstances shall
dim or fade our most respectful and
heartfelt considerations. 81 TO . n
.aResoiUed, That having been par
TALLY endowed with our rights as
men, It is duty. to, andswe win sol
exercise the limited privilege granted
us as tolimpress all with a, sense of
our manhood, and Of the Injustice of
denying our people, as class, the en-
joyment of UNRESTRICTED political
freedom and citizenship, without ex-
ceptional right or privilege, and that
our ctions7 as voters shall d but CON
tinually reiterate our demand for
equality before the law and in the
law fs4sg
Res6lged, That we tender our un-
feigned and, heartfelt thanks to our.
true and tried Governor, William g.
Brownlow, for his earnest expressions,
with other patriotic friends, in be-
half of our just rights.
Resolved, That we tender our heart
felt thanks to the patriotic speakers
who have addressed us on this occasion
RESOLVED, That these proceedings
Ibe published in the Memphis Post.
WE learn that a perfect reign of
terror existed at Danville before the
arrival of the troops there. Men
were afraid to have certain Union men
to enter their houses of business. and
avoided them on the streets for fear.
the regulators would take hold of
them. We hope sincerely that Gem
eral Burbank will make \ thorough
work of it as he has commenced. He
Will not be deceived by the attempts
of the Democracy to prove that the
regulators are not rebels. There is
but one Union man amongst them
and he is believed to have changed
his opinions. He was Union man
but is now a regulator. The same
spirit is everywhere abroad in ali in
tensely rebel parts of the community
The thing is in their hearts. and
where there is no restraining presence
of troops, they do the thing they wish
The Union men of this. State expect
perfect protection and security, and
they will not hesitate to demand this
of the United States Government.
They will not stop to ask rebels, or
semi rebels for this security, when
their lives and liberty are in danger.
