ing that the President has no power to remove
the Secretary of War and designate any other
officer to perform the duties of that office at IN
terim, haSils this day failed to be supported by

papers and property in my custody as Secretary
Of War in the care Of Breyet Major General
Townsend, the senior Assistant Adjutant Gener-
al, subject to your direction
(Signed) EDWIN NJ. STANTON,
Secretary Of War
To THE President"
Mr.. Stanton's friends do not look upon his
letter as in the nature Of resignation, and
several called on him at once and advised him
not to yield the War Department.
Adjt. Gen Townsend took charge of the
office, and ad interim Thomas madeno move
ment towards taking possession.
Cen, Grant has recommended that the Sen
ate confirm the nomination Of Con Sohoiield
as Secretary Of War, and it is believed the
Senate will take an early opportunity to act
upon the nomination, and other important
nominations now before it. When a new
Secretary Of War goes in it is probable there
will be a number Of changes in the appoint
mont of military officers to duty in the War
pfire. It Is k49En that the President has
been advised by hi counsel and ~ pp.Ainent !
politicians, since his acquittal, to act during
the summer and fall with great caution, and
/ is not believed he will at present use any
extreme measures.

The plethora of money in New York

This unusual case appears to be due
chiefly to the extreme dullhess Of trade
throughout the country. No new enter
prises are being undertaken the merchants
are doing a mere hand to mouth business,
and for one dollar of paper offered for dis
count there appears to be two maturing. In
this way the deposits are kept high and a
very unusual amount Of money is left to
seek employment on Wall street, where il
is wanted mainly for carrying large blocks
of stocks held by the cliques. There are
some indications Of demand for money in
connection with the wool crop, but its effect
is too trivial to influence the present ease
in loans.

New YORK, June Is, 1S68.--The an

until the hand that wasS to perform the
work had ceased to tremble with excite
ment Ny experience has been 30 pleas
ant that in the midst Of many antagonist
forces my composure has suffered but
little interruption, and the cause of my
silence is very different from the one re-
ferred to. Ever since i left the city of
Nashville / have been kept in a state of
physical and mental actively, travelling
from place to place, and addressing many
of the leading papers of the North. am
glad to find on my return from an extern
sive tour through some of the Northern
and Western States, that there is no
longer the same necessity which there
was some months ago, to give assurances
concerning the security of life and prop
erty in Tennessee. Too many have gone
there and have convinced themselves of
the social condition of Tennessee, by per-
sonal observation. In Illinois, in Ohio
and in Pennsylvania, found in many
neighborhoods lively interest manifested
in our State, the result, in part, of favora
Bile information sent out by those who have
already moved to Tennessee. Those who
move or think of moving, are principally
farmers in comfortable circumstances, and
young men starting into life with but little
capital, but with strong arms and strong
will. A good deal of capital has also been
invested in the development Of our coal
aad iron lands. OF late have been much
interested in line of steamers to be es-
tablished between Altoona, at the mouth
Of the Elb, sud some port in the United
States. / had mentioned New York, in
a letter TO the Hon. G. Bancroft, who re-
ferred my letter to our Consul at Al
tona. In connection with the Pa
ciic railroad, a line to New York
would give a powerful impulse TO immigra-
ton. The movement in Congress with re-
gard to the subject Of immigration is as yet
but little matured. Next week expect 10
visit New England, where / have reason to
believe good deal of capital is waiting
for investment in our State.
In the course of next month hope to
return to Tennessee, in order to put to some
further use the knowledge l have obtained
here, and in visiting different poiue in the
State in order to furnish the leading papers
as well as prominent individuals In
the North, with such items of information
as may be productive of mutual benefit.
In this city, the importance of which
can hardly be overestimated, | am gather
ing around me a circle of friends and &C
quaintances who will lend their means and 1
their influence to our State, whenever the
Legislature shall take measures to estab-
lish an Office here.

The True Account.

In our publication, yesterday, Of the &C
quittal of Col. B. H. Payne, portion o.
the resume, derived from a source we
deemed reliable, was erroneous. As it APP
peared it was calculated to do great injus-
tice to Col. Payne, being a gross perversion
of the facts. The following is a statement
that can be relied upon:
Mrs. Payne fled her bill in the Chance
~ Court in this city for divorce in Au-
gust, 1868, alleging adultery and cruel
treatment as the ground for the divorce.
Major r. A. Barnes, Major w. Payne, and
Mr.. Thos. Farrar undertook, with the con-
Sent Of Cod. Payne, TO adjust the family
dispute between Col. Payne and his wife.
They had an interview with Mrs. Payne in
which she stated that she did not intend by
her bill 10 charge Col. Payne with adultery
or cruel treatment, but she would not agree
to any adjustment without the concurrence
Of her attorneys. No adjustment was or
could be affected. Col. Payne answered
Mrs. Payne's bill, denying positively all
the charges against him. During the latter
part Of the fail and first part of the winter
VI AoN1J NoAs dlut was iulbIlh0h ihdt
Mrs. Payne and Capt NJ, S. Allen were too
intimate with each other.
After Col. Payne became satisfied Of the
truth Of the adultery Of his wife with NJ.
S. Allen, he filed a cross-bilI for divorce,
alleging as the grounds for his application
the adultery Of his wife with M. S. Allen.
The cross-bill was filed on the 18th Of De-
cember, 1864, and was answered by Mrs
Payne on the 23d day of the same month,
denying the charge. 10 few weeks after
this, Mrs, Payne left the country and her
attorneys abandoned the case. Col. Payne
took his proof TO establish the charge of
adultery, and before taking the same re-
quested Mr.. Allen as well as one Of Mrs.
Payne's attorneys to be present Mr.. ALLEN
promised TO attend the taking of the depo-
sitions, but did not do 30. The case was
heard at the May term, 1866, upon the
cross-bin and Chancellor Frierson granted
Col. Payne a divorce from Mrs. Payne,
upon the ground that the adultery charged
between her and Mr.. Alien had been salts =

THE MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANCERY
SUIT.-This cause came up yesterday in
the Chancery Court on the bill. answer and
amended bill and answer. The amende
bill makes the new Professors party de-
PENDANTS to the original suit, and seeks to
have the INDUCTION heretofore granted en-
larged, 80 as TO apply to all the members of
the new Faculty. In other words to enjoin
the Medical Faculty, as il now stands, from
carrying on the Medical Department. Also,
until the rights Of compliments can be
legally construed and adjusted, that Re-
celver be appointed by the court to carry
on the department.
The point taken by Icomplainants ia, that
the Faculty, at the commencement Of the
suit, constituted a partnership, and that its
action in expelliDg Dr. Jennings is gov
cred by the law Of partnership.
The court adjourned until to-day at 8
o'clock, before Judge Cooper had delivered
his argument for the defense.
In this connection we will state that the
Board % Trustees of the University, met
on Tuesday last. Upon the presentation
Of the names of the new Professors, the
Trustees caused the original lease 70 be
read, and concluded that they had no
power to act IN the premises that the
lease did not reserve TO the Trustees either
any power or duty and also, as the matter
was in litigation, it would be improper to
take any action, even II the Board pos
sessed the power.

before Esq. Wilkinson, charged With mali
cious mischief in playing smash with the
bedroom and kitchen furniture of Tina
Stratton, 3 ngulph of the Ash Barrack
neighborhood. His case will come up for
trial at nine o'clock this morning. We
have often wondered how Gen. Duncan
could stand the close proximity Of a dozeu
or more of those internal dens that are al
most daily becoming more numerous in
the vicinity Of Ash Barrsck. A thorough
cleaning out would materially add TO the
morality Of the garrison.

A SUBLIME PIECE OF LAzNEss.-We
learned yesterday of one Of the most stu
penduous pieces of laziness Of the age. A
lady who had, as the story goes,
been reared in the lap of luxury, came to
the city on Saturday last, with the inten.
ton of passing the Sabbath here. Sunday
morning came and she srrayed herself in
all her artificial gorgeousness and geW-
gaws, but unfortunately could not find her
earrings She wouldt go to church with
out them. She hunted every where, she
said,-had the whole house in an uproar
of unpleasantness,-a the landlady
and her family, the other boarders and the
servants, all.an every one, with stealing
the missing Jewels. The landlady be-
came furious, didn't like any such sccu-
sations, and attempted to satisfy the lady
by suggesting a search Of large Saratoga
trunk she had brought with her. Lady
said her husband always packed and un-
packed her trunks, and she didn't like the
trouble Of overhauiing them herself The
day wore away, and next morning she tel
egraphed twice TO her husband, who is
merchant in a neighboring town, for bis
presence on important business" The
husband came on in the evening train.
Imagine his countenance when she said,
Love, I've lost my ear-bobs, please IN
pack the Ssraiogs and fnd them" Love
did 50, aud found them. A gay wife, that.
