Tennessee Politics.

From The tenor Of all our intelligence
from Tennessee, it would seem that the
present authorities of the Safe have fully
determined upon giving the negroes the
right Of suffrage, and will call out. as &
precautionary measure, the loyal militia
white and black, for the purpose Of pre-,
serving the ballot box from the inroads
of rebels and disaffccted persons. Brown
low will be the radical candidate for Gov
ernor, but will not make any canvass
Nat Taylor or Governor Campbell, now
members of the House, or Mr.. John vii
liams or Mr.. Emerson Etheridge will be
the conservative candidate but with the
negroses voting either Of them, thong h
personally strong, would be buried in an
overwhelming majority. The State is
considered safe for the loyal element, and
even Memphis, it is expected, will return
radical Representative to Congress-
Tennessee is now in the hands of men
who are terribly in earnest in their loyal
purposes, and who are determined at all
hazards to keep the State under radical
control.

The Contraction that is Going On.

The financial editor of the Chicago
Republican writes as follows: Capitalists
and bankers all over the country are pur-
suing the same policy Of contraction which
Secretary McCulloch has inaugurated.-
So Cor as the banks are concerned this is
a matter of necessity, AMI outside capt.
talists are governed by the same policy.
OF course, all this reverts on trade and
commerce and in the West, where the
banking capital is limited, the pressure is
unusually severe. At the same time the
stocks of brcadstuffs are much lighter than
usual, and that of provisions, though
heavier than last year, is not considered
beyond the capacity of the country In
this way, the chief sufferers by the pre-
sent stagnaton in trade are the merchants
and the manufacturers. The farmers, as
general thing are in easy circumstances,
but they are unwilling to sell their gov
ernment securities to pay their debts, and
collections are therefore slow, and will
probably continue so till better fnan cial
policy is inaugurated."

REASONS WHY TIE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at yyALTEHAN, Mass,
Is THE BEST.

IL is made the best principle. Its frame is COM
posed of SOLID PLATES. NO jar can interfere with
the harmony Of Its working and no sudden shock can
damage It's machinery. Every piece is made and fin
ished BY machinery itself famous for novelty,
we'll for its eeciveness and therefore properly
made The watch is what all mechanism should be
ACCURATE, SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECoNOMI-
CAL Except some high grades, too costly for gener
al use, foreign watches chiefly made ty
and BOYS such watches composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and rveted together, and
'omre constant repairs keep them in any kind Of
order AIT ersons who have carried ancres" "lep
and English Patent Levers" are perfectly well
aw are of the truth of This statement.
At the beginning OF our enterprise, more than ten
years ago. it was first object to make thorough
y good low priced watch for the miiiion to take The
place of these foreign imposons-the refuse of for
eign factories-which were entirely unsaleable al
home and perfectly worthless everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this may be nu-
dersiood from the fact that after many years oi
trial, we n ow make MORE THAN oNE-HsLF OF ALL
THE WATCHES SOLD IN TIE UNITED STATES
and that other have given such esal sat
isftction. While this department OF our business is
continued with increased facilities for perfect work
al present engaged in the manufacture ofwatch
es the HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO CHRoNo
METRY, unequaed by anything hitherto made by our
selves, unsurpassed by anything made in the world
For this purpose have the amplest facilities We
have erected addition to main buildings cx-
pressy for this branch Of our business and have filled
| it with the best workmen in service. New ma.
chimes and appliances have been constructed, which
! perform their work with consummate delicacy sns
| exactness. The choicest and most approved mater
ais only used and we challenge comparison be-
tween this grade of our work and the finest imported
chronometers We do not pretend to sell our watche:
ior less money than foreign watches, but do
without fear of contradiction that for the none,
our product is mcomparaby superior. All our watch

warrantee is good at all times against agent:

Southern Destitution.

The following eloquent extract is from
an address delivered by Richard O'Gor-
man, Esq., at the Cooper Institute, New
York, in behalf of the suffering and desti-
tute people of the South:
''Do you not know that throughout the
Southern States there is distress, hunger
and misery in every form, some of which
money may relieves? There the pride OF
the people is broken, their hopes are
wrecked, their dearest, fondest memory
fingers over graves. The storm of war,
like the red blast from hell, has swept across
the land and left utter desolation in its track.
In regions, but a few years ago rich in
fertility and bloom, neither homestead.
nor barn, nor fence, nor harvest can now
be seen. Sheep and shepherd, ploughman
and plow, cattle and herdsman, sower and
seed are all gone, and few remain, save
those who are too weak to work, the wild
ows and orphans of the blighted land.
There comes from it no loud voiced lamen-
tation-no medicant appeal. But if your
hearts listen, they can hear the low sigh
of hearts whose sorrow is too deep for ut
terance. Oh, forget politics, forget faction,
forget prejudice. Let no angry thought
break this truce of God. Listen with all
your hearts, as the Samaritan of old list
ened to the cry of distress that led him to
the succor of he knew not whom. @

Fa1e Of n Daughter of Hon. Aaron
W. RrONyu p75 , IN

A most interesting will case has lust been
decided in Nashville. Miss CYNTHIA
Saunders. the daughter of Mrs. Aaron ".
Brown, was married during the war to
Colonel Williams, Federal officer. He
won her affections while affording some
protection to her family's property during
the war. He no sooner married her. ac-
cording to some of the witnesses, than he
coerced her by his treatment into his
trembling and wretched slave instead of
his adored wife. In this condition he
moved her to his mothers home in Phila-
deiph1a, where she pined away and died.
While thus tortured he is alleged to
have coerced a will which leaves all the
to him and his heirs in per-
petulty, .proscribes, from its benefits her
fond mother and loving sister and brother,
Before dying he sent her mother a bias
phemous dispatch informing her of the ap-
preaching dissolution of her daughter, his
wife. Mrs. Brown fastened to Philadel-
phia. where she was subjected to the most
cruel indignities, such as humbling herself
on her knees, before he would permit her
to see her dying daughter. When she
reached her room her daughter was insen-
sible. This was the close of this ill-fated
career. We knew her as a lovely
young schoolgirl, the favorite of all who
visited the family circle, and afterward as
she blossomed into lovely womanhood, and
can sympathize with her relatives in the
deep misery which her marriage entailed.

Hon. T. G. Peters, formerly of Wyoming
county, but now resident of Maryland. is
a corresponding editor of that widely cir
culated journal, the Rural Ne,o Yorker. He
has recently made an extended tour through
the South, the distance travelled amounting
to some two thousand miles, and late
number of the Rural contained letter
from him, giving the impressions gained
upon his tour. From the letter we make
the following extracts: s15 ..-
"The sudden Abolition of slavery has
been most unfortunate in many of its re-
suits upon the blacks. They are the prey
to all kinds of sharpers, and are wandering
about the country by countless thousands.
A large demand has sprung up, especially
in the Carolfnas, for laborers to go to Texas
and Arkansas. Much larger wages can be
paid there, and it is not uncommon to see
agents picking up all the best hands to
start plantations there. One agent filled
his complement by promising that in
Texas every negro might go to his work on
a Mustang pony, his wife behind him, and
a gun for himself before. r--.- --.-..
go "lnfanticide has been equal to any thing
we have ever read of in China or India.
Through my whole journey saw but two
infants, or, indeed, hardly any children
from two years and under. And, if possi-
Bile, that is not the worst feature, for very
few live children are born now. The black
women have long possessed the knowledge
of a harmless common vegetable which, in
decOction, will produce abortion. While
slaves, they were watched, and its use pre-
vented; but being freed from these re-
straints they are fast leaping into barbar-
ism, and, as general thing, shirk the re-
sponsibilities OF maternity. 1t is horrid .
state of things, and will rapidly reduce the
number of blacks in the South, and will
continue until they become fixed people.
1t seems to me that rapid determination
will 60 on till their numbers equal the de-
mand which the superior race will have for
their services, and that will not exceed one
quarter what the number now is.
To show how rapidly the natural bar
bality of his nature developes itself in the
negro, when left to his instincts, a single
fact, among a number that came to my
knowledge, will suffice. A man and his
wife called upon planter in South Caro-
lima, last winter, to hire out. He employ
ed the man, but as the woman had three
little children, he did not feel able to en-
ploy her, as he could not furnish room for
her to live in. About month after he was
surprised at her calling again for work, but
OH telling her that he could not employ
women who had children, she very coolly
Informed him that her children had ali
took sick and gone clean dead.' Tens of
thousands of negro children have perished
the past year because their mothers found
them an incumbrance."
We make no comment on this, but mere
ily state the fact that the writer of the fore
going, and the editor of the paper for which
it is written, are both Republicans.-Mdys-

They call themselves Democrats, but why,
l don't know. They encouraged the re-
bellion, said there would bel no war; they
would hold all the blood that would be

with broomsticks, iVallandigham is one
OF their leaders He boasted that if any
Northern army attempted to march over
Ohio soil against the South, it would have
to march over his dead body. The war
came on. and an Ohio regiment approach

who told them, Boys we are going to
pass over Vallandingham's dead body.
