NASHVILLE, July S.-Gov. Brown
lows expected proclamation appeared
this morning. 1t commands the COM
missiOners of registration to appoint
clerks and judges of elections; COM
mands sheriffs to open and hold the
elections on the first Thursday in
August, and to make returns as before
by said clerks and judges. He also in
structs the clerks and judges to make
out separate poll-books, record the
voters and send them to the executive
and State departments as provision
against neglect of duty on the part of
sheriffs. He concludes by ordering the
commanders of the State Guards to ar
rest Judge Cant, Chairman of the Con-

blies having in view the holding of IL

lar election. Judge Cant, OF the Cen

nation, withdrawn his recommends
ton to the County Court to appoint
Judges and clerks OF elections, and ad-
vised all to conform to the Governor in

collision is likely to grow out of this

The question of reconstruction Is call
ing forth opinions and communications
from most of the old leaders in the
South, many of whom held high rank
in the civil or military service Of the
confederacy. The latest received are
from General Barkfngball and Gov
Perry, the former like Longstreet,
Thompson and, others, favors recon
struction as rapidly as possible, while
the latter, like II. P. Hill of Georgia,
aud others, opposes reconstruction I'M
der the Law, and votes for mo eonyen-
tion." 1t is a noticeable fact that the
old soldiers and the old politicians are
arranging themselves on opposite sides
of the question.

Failure of Large Dry Goods House.
New YORK. July S.-The failure of
the respectable dry goods house-Im-
Porters and Jobbers-Of Messrs. G. A.
Wicks & Co. was announced this morn
ing Some surprise was expressed that
AFTER passing through the dull and try
ing winter and Spring seasons Of the
present year, this failure should have
occurred as business begins TO show
some improvement for the Summer and
Fall trade; but the liabilities OF the
house being reported At 81. 500, 900, the
trouble was evidently too deep seated
to be overcome by the prospects OF a
better trade. The assets OF the concern
are not yet known, but the impression
is that the failure will prove an unfa-
Yorable one for the creditors.

scrip.
NEW YORK, July S.-The Finance
Committee have at length reported in
a strain of unusual severity upon the
message of the acting Mayor, though
failing TO answer satisfactorily the
points made by that functionary. In
their report the committee concede that
the issue of city scrip by the comp
troller has never been legalized by a
legislative act, though they attribute
their want OF legality to a certain veto
of the acting Mayor, and contend that
IL informal, the lefty Is bound in
honor to pay them. The committee
refuse to censure the comptroller, and
thus the matter assumes the form of a
mere squabbIe between the appointee
ofGeneral Sheridan and the few officials
who were 6 removed when they
should have. BEEN
Hon. T. a. May, of LIST National Bank
notoriety, has been arraigned and held
10 bail in the sum Of fifty thousand dol

ted calling on the State Department for
all the correspondence with Lewis ID.
Campbell while Minister to Mexico,
and with his successor since his APP
pOintment; also calling on the Secreta-
~ of State for information concerning
the recent events in Mexico.
In reply TO an Inquiry from Mr..
Howard, Mr.. Sumner said he expected
that the resolution would obtain an
authentic account of the capture, trial
and execution OF Maximilian and Santa
Anna.
Mr.. Howard entertained the belief
that il the truth was fully commune

effect in correcting a sort of childish
sentimentalism, If he might be allowed
that expression, on the subject OF the
