BLACKS LErTER.-The Chicago Evening
Post has the annexed in regard to this letter
Black is out in letter in which he tells some
truth of Secretary Seward, whom, for his &C
ton in the Alta Vela case, he denounces as
perpetrator of scurvy trick, as falslher
Who should be kicked out OF office for his
deceptions, and as an ignorant blunderer or
designing trickster ThiT p, is plan Ian. Ian
Getting both Stewards version and that of
Black. decided in favor of the former, 1t is
hard to say what epithets belong to Seward
that will not fit with equal grace his Execu-
tive indorser. Viewed in this light, it is not
strange that Black should decline to under
take the Presidents defense. Seward, ne
says, is disreputab.e falsifer anyhow, and
either trickster or fool besides; IN
either case" he tells the President to IN, his
face, "you should send him headlong from
his Office without the delay of an instant.
So far from doing this, however the Presi-
dent retains Seward and lets Black with
araw-and the country gets the benett OF the
axnosures which ensue. 1t is healthy thing
for rogues to fall out once in while.

Tennessee FInances.

The State fnanciers of Tennessee are
at their wits end to know what TO do
The State debt has been piled up SO
enormously since Brownlow became Gov
ernor that the entire revenues viii scarce
suffice to pay the interest op the State
debt, direct aud contingent. This has
neeessitated such onerous taxes that cap
ital trade, and business are driven from
tlxpState. Property is taxed just rs heav-
iiy as possible, and energy in business is
50 burdened by taxes on privileges that
1t leaves the State The railroads are
not paying expenses and can't pay the
interest on their bonds, which eonse-
queutly the State has to meet. The State
had to borrow money to pay the interest
that fell due last January. She c0uldn t
borrow the million of dollars needful to
payNle Stale bonds that matured in May.
and heuce those matured bonds have not
been paid and are not goiug to be. She
can't borrow money TO pay the quarter
of million dollars of bonds maturing
in November, and consequently that will
not be paid. Watson, who, when he
wanted to borrow the money to pay the
January interest, wrote so confidently of
the prosperous condition of the State
finances, has recently written to show
that the said finances are so desperately
situated that the State should now bor-
TOW money to pay the July interest on
the State debt by issuing bonds, the in
terest on which il is solemnly promi. ed
shall be paid in gold, whatever premium
may have to be payed for the precious
metal. This is fnanciering. The State
is houndering under an enormous load Of
debt, and the only remedy suggested by
those who now manage public affairs is

The confederate Dead at No. 10.


TIrroSvuLr, Tenn, June 25 1868.
Mr. EDlroR Ia behalf OF, and By
the request Of the Southern Bpjal As
sociati0n of Madrid Bend, permit ne
through your columns to return thanks
IN the warmest terms TO the good and
generous people of Hickman and Union
City, who have so kindly aided us in our
late endeavors in raising fund for the
accomplishment of our designs. And as
some doubts have arisen and maJ per
haps arise, as to the purpose in which
this fund is to be applied, | would by
way Of explanation and correction state
that about eighteen months ago few
ladies and gentlemen Of Madrid Bend,
formed themselves into society on a
limited scale for the purpose of renter
ing the Confederate dead at Islanc No.
10 and the surrounding country, neg
lected and forgotten to the world, and
even lost to those who would rejoice at
any information that would enable them
to discover their cherished remains Up
to the 10th Of May last-Rhen the
society was re-organized and officers
chosen for the second time-it had only
succeeded in raising a fund Of SIS 90.
From that time the work of hking up
the dead commenced, aud is How pro-
crossing with earnestness. Bsween 30
and so soldiers have been rentered--
and from places where they were actual
y falling in the riyer-placed in new
cotnns and deposited in systematic
manner in a cemetery near the Cumber
land Presbyterian Church in the Bend.
The total number Of dead is believed to
be between seventy FIVE and ore hundred
Any traces of recognition found sbout
, heir graves will be preserved a1F.-llf pub
.e,hed that their friends may recover
them if so desired
The Association has-from late sup
per given in its aid at Tiptonville, and
through the combined efforts of Hick-
man aud Union City raised fluid oi
between $3.50 90 or S400 90, which is
considered sufficient to complete the
work of interment. The thanks of the
Association are especially rendered to
Miss Nina Lavalle.for her kind and zeal
Gus endeavors in soliciting aid. and to
Dr. Alex Farris for his generous assist
aneo 10 tie--kana directian-.-slge are
proud and grateful to see that although
distance may seperate, yet the feeling OF
our people still throb IN unison
We believe our design to be a good
one, and feel that it will receive the ap-
probation of all mindful Of the TN
honored dead, and would supply the
place of fame in the sanetuaries of their
hearts-for assuredly they yielded that
priceless boon to which humanity so
fondly clings-that their countrymen
and grateful posterity would dherish
heir memories and honor their remains
Yours respectfully,

Gen. Winfield s Hancock, will have
warm supporters. The points urged in
his favor are his Democratic antecedents:
his decided ability his popularity
with the army aud in Pennsylvania,
which State, his friends say he can carry
by 10000 votes, and also that he can
carry more certainly New York than Mr..
PendIeton. They assert he will be strong
enough 70 defeat Peniletou aud that he
will COME il - the next most available
man.
Notwithstanding Chase will receive
some votes in the convention, it is now
generally conceded that he stands no
chance for the nomination. His strength
woald be in dividing the Republican
party; but the fact is that he would drive
more democrats from than he could bring
Republicans to his support.
Hendricks, of Indizna, has some warm
friends. he is an able statesman of the
old line democratic school, stands with
Pendleton on the gFeenback issue, and
has good record on all the other ques
tions dear to the West IF Pendleton
fails to receive the nomination, bis sup
porters 8ill go for Hendricks.
The conYentigp may be said to be com
posed of Pendleton aud anti Pendle-
ton men. PendIeton is the favorite of the
field, but the opposition will vote for
Hancock, johnson, Seymour. or any
man, to defeat him. If this state of
feeling does come up, and it viii unless
Pendletou is nominated at the outset,
VIC predict,
Andrew johnson will be TIE nominee
We apprehend the war Democrats and
Conservative Republicans will not sup
port Peudleton or Hendricks, and that
the peace democrats will not support
Hancock or Chase, and that the new
combinations must turn out to Johnson's
advantage. Because he is representa-
tive anti Radical upon whom all elements
can rally and he occupies a middle po-
sition upon the fuancial question Be-
sides, as President, he can WELD an i'm
mense power in thousand different ways
for the advantage OF the party. Solita-
ry aud alone he has been an immense
bulwark against the encroachments of
Radiealism. Give him an army of en-
thusiastie democrats at his back, and you
would see heavy fighting No good
democrat could refuse to vote for him
now, and there are thousands, who are
not democratic, who would rally to him
He IS the especial defender of the Con
stitution, and as such all the parties could
center upon hiff. We view it in this
manner Pendleton is unpopular in the
East, Hendricks is too obscure, Han
cock would drive of the old peacsdem-
ocrats and as military man eau not cope
Eith Grant amongst the soldiers, and
Chase while he might split the Repubh-
can party, would certainly splitthe Dem
ocratic party. Who would be the most
acceptable to these contending parties?
It is our conviction that Nr, johnson is
The man.

may make such nominations and put
forth such platform ar will command
the enthusiastic support and cordial ap-
proval of every man who desires to vote
against Grant and Colfax. II is madness
for Conservatives to permit dissensions
10 arise because of a preference Tor can
didates. We must prepare ourselves to
support the action of the convention,
however distasteful it may be, remember
ing that nothing can possibly be SO bad
as the continuance of Radical domina-
ton any choice is preferable to that.
The newspapers are full of specula
tions as to who will be the nominees, but
careful reading will convince the mind
that none of them know much more than
we. 4 review of the positions of the
prominent candidates, aud the elements
of strength-possessed by each, will come
nearer indicating the man. The strong
est man that can win the race, should
be the nominee.
Geo. II. Pendleton, is no doubt the
strongest man with the Democratic par
ty proper. and will go into the conven-
ton with a stronger vote than any other
aspirant. He is no doubt the strongest
man with the Western democracy,-the
very States by which the party hope to
win; but, his greenback policy renders
him unpopular in the East, and his nom
nation will be fought fercely from that
quarter. The New York Herald esti-

CANCER CAN Be CURED /!

Allow me to say that it is the most Won
derful discovery every made in medicine. 1t
Is the eureka SO long sought by physicians
and those afflicted with Cancer. This method
Of treating Cancer is apparently by the
chemical properties Of the remedy, pene-
trating into the chemical compound OF the
Cancer, destroying every root, fibre, and
yestige pertaining to it without pain or the
murderous practce-the knife.
1t IS used, without HIting or burning, no
loss Of blood, and destruction of the
sound flesh 1t can be used on the naked
eye, with perfect impunity. Large cancers
by the use of this remedy can be removed
from vital parts, where Eo other treatment,
would be admissible.
