We have no objection, on merely political
grounds to the appointment of Democrats to
foreign missions, but in the case OF Mr.. S. S.
Cox, who has just been nominated for the
Austrian embassy in the place of Mr.. Motley,
there are personal considerations of great
weight. Mr.. Cox is not and cannot be repre-
sentative Of the United States in any part of
the world. He is the spokesman of q narrow
section. lie is the prophet of policy which
is not that of the American people or of the
American Government. 1t was Mr.. Cox, 1t will
be remembered, who wanted New-England ex-
PEELED from the Union. 1t was Mr. Cox who
proposed to reconstruct the country by leaving
out six of the most important States because
they were not in the habit of voting as he did.
lie has distinguished himself throughout his
career by abuse of his own countrymen, and
he has never distinguished himself by anything
else. Mr.. Cox is not good American He
had better stay Mt home.

Judge Aldrich of South Carolina, who refused
to obey Gen. Canby's order allowing all regis
tered voters, without distinction of color, to
sit on juries, and who was therefore removed
from his Office, applied to Gen. Candy for pay
ment of his salary. Gen. Candy refused, stat
ing that the people of South Carolina were
already sufficiently burdened without being
obliged to pay for services never performed.
Thereupon Judge Aldrch deems himself "ex-
|" lied from his native land" and departs for
the State of Georgia, with notice that he will
remain an exile so long as Gen. Candy remains
in power. "You that have tears prepare 70

TO ASSOCIATED PRESS
Secretary Stanton appeared at the War Depart
ment this morning about 10 o'clock, and Immediately
afterward resumed his functions as chief of that
Department Gen. Grant was not present at the
time being at his headquarters, just opposite, but
shortly afterward went to the Department, when
some time passed in conversation between him
and Secretary Stanton. after which Gen. Grant re-
tired without any particular form, and
the records and papers Of the Department were
taken charge of by Secretary Stanton. Gen.
Dent, belonging to the staff of the General
n-Chief then, transferred the Office which he
had occupied as Aid, to the Secretary dd interim to
Gen. Pelouze. who, before the suspension of Mr..
Stanton, had acted in similar capacity; and Gen.
Hardie who had been in charge of the bureau or
office of the Department having the supervision of
claims presented before it, transferred the records
and documents of that branch to Gen. Schriyer.
Subsequently Gen. Grant went to the Executive
Mansion. where On interview with Mr. johnson
resulted
The presumption now is that Mr. Johnson will not
recognize Mr. Stanton in any official capacity, but
will transact all business pertaining to the War
Department through the headquarters of the armies
and the officer in command, and in no event will any
order issued by Mr. Stanton be recognized as official
IL does not appear that Gen. Grant had any consuta
tion with tho President relative to what action
should DO taken in the Senate should refuse to
sustain Mr.. Stanton's suspension.

for the reckless extravaganza dis
played by the State government. |
Each branch of the government has
seemed to vic with the others in
increasing the burdens of the peo-
pie, until the means for meetin g
these exorbitant expenses have
proved inadequate, and now we are
about to enter new year with a
deficit of nearly a million of dollars
staring us in the face. On the first
of January, less than a month
hence, the holders Of our bonds
will, be demanding 81, 0S6, 224 in the
shape of interest, and where that
large amount is to come from is a
question that we have no doubt
puzzles the brain of the Comptrol-
Ter. These are the fruits of Radical
rule in Tennessee its liabilities
largely increased, its credit injured
and the peopleso heavily taxed that
the Comptroller, with the receipts
falling nearly a million of dollars
short of the imperative demands
upon the treasury, is forced to thu
conclusion that a higher rate of tax
alton would be ruinous.

THE electoral college met yester-
day at the capitol and cast the ten
votes towhich Tennessee is entitled

was made as to the eligibility of
Mr.. Senter, one of the electors for

dicted from serving as elector by
the fourteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States,

make the question himself. This

IMPORTANT. JUDICIAL DECISION.
Chief Justice Chase, during tho
present term Of the Circuit Court at
Richmond, has delivered an i'm
portant opinion in a case Of con
fiscation of real estate, under the
act of July, 1862. In this case
Semple rs. the United States Dis
trict Court. on a writ Of error, Judg-
ment was originally entered by
default. The points made were that
the confiscation act was unconsh-
tutional, and that the suit below
was in admiralty when it should
have been at common law. The
Chief Justice ovcrruled both points
and affirmed the decision. He said
that several cases arising under tins
act of 1862 of a like tenor have
been considered by the Supreme
Court. and, as the point was not
raised, it was a fair conclusion that
among neither the members Of the
bar nor upon the bench, the
constitutionality was doubted
Unless clearly satisfied that the
act was unconstitutional, and
also that the point was passed with
ont reservation in the Supreme
Court. he was honorably b d by
the action of that court and should
hold for the present that the
act is warranted by the constitu-

THE FINANCIAL COALITION OF TEN
NESSEE

On the 28th ult. resolution was
adopted by the House of Represen-
tatives requiring the Comptroller
to inform that body what changes,
notifications or reductions may
with safety TO the financial interest
Of the State, be made in the pres
ent revenue laws" The Comp
troller replied on the lst inst. that
the financial interest of the State
will not permit reduction in the
rate of taxation" and he presents
an array of figures to fortify this
position. The following is the
Comptroller's statement of the de-
mands upon the treasury for the
current year, and the means to
meet these demands:
Annual interest on State debt........s2O724 48 80
State governments annual expenses 10000 D.
S2.g72.4ls 80
Estimated revenue =, oo..,-
for lSbs.........-.-......S ,2Jb, 80
Estimated receipts
from railroads.......... sSg.26l-- 2.O9isO6 %
sS77642 80
With deficit this year of nearly
million of dollars, there is no
chance for a reduction Of the taxes
next year. On the contrary,
the exhibit of the Comptroller is
itself a pressing demand for an in
crease. If this is impracticable, as
tho Comptroller candidly admits,
how is the deficit to be supplied?
The additional amount necessary
to meet the interest on tho bonds
of the State and the current ex-
penses of the State government
will have to be supplied from some
source. This is a very uninviting
picture to present to capitalists who
may be disposed 10 invest in the
bonds of this State We have gone
on increasing the liabilities of the
State and the expenses Of the gov
ernment, until we find ourselves
with an income nearly million Of
dollars short Of what is necessary
to pay tho interest on our bonds
and meet the expenses of the gov
crnment. How has it happened
that our expenses have so far out
stripped our income? Has it not
been through the most reckless ex-
travagance? Let US see. The
total demands upon the treas
urv of the State for the fiscal year
ending Sept. 80, 1861, amounted to
SS29,937. This included S2Ol ,462
for schools and academies, and over
$500. 600 for interest So the eX-
penses of the State for that year
amount to only about 100000 or
one third the amount estimated by
the Comptroller for the present
year. In these stringent times and
the impoverished condition OF the
people. our taxes should have been
lower than they were before the
