AMONG the telegraphic dispatches
from Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednes-
day, was the following special to the
Cincinnati Gazette:
"Quite stir has been occasIoned
here by the discovery that two white
Irish women, natives of Alabama, had
married couple OF very black negroes.
Tie negroes are strong Democrats"
So IL seems there Is come reason why
the Democrats are so anxious to be pro-
tected by law against their inclination
to marry "niggers." Republicans do
not need any law to prevent them from
marrying negroes but it is eyiden;
there are Democrats who do, as the
above dispatch shows. The fact that
the "niggers" who thus offended tht
prejudices OF race are also good Dem
ocrats is significant, aa miscegenatior
has always been a peculiarly Demo
cratic vice.

rain or shine, blow hot or blow cold,
fair weather or foul; there will be no
postponement-Mr. Andrew johnson
will positively retire from the White
House at Washington. BE went in by
actual murder; he goes out by politi-
cal suicide. What will become OF him?
He cannot be- Moses. he has tried
his hand, and failed. He could not get
as far as the cradle in the bulrushes in
that character. ga damned pretty
Mosesl" said an old negro in tile gal
lery, who listened, to the reading of his
first veto message. The Red Sea,
through which heiproposed to lead the
colored people must have been the Red
Sea of blood. But they have respect
fully declined his services as leader.
and If he leads anybody It must be
while people.
Do the white people wish him for a
leader? We do not know where. His
rise in political Office was, as he has Of
ten narrated, gradual, and through reg
ular stages, from village alderman up.
His descent promises to be more
rapid. 1t looks as though from the
summit of the White House he would
go suddenly down out of sight. Mr..
Johnson's father is said to have once
distinguished himself by saving a
drowning man; but it would require
more than human power to save Mr.,
| johnson himself from sinking.
Mr.. johnson was formerly tailor:
but one of his former slaves, now a
freedman, occupies his old tailor shop,
and might not like to giveit up.
We can think of no spot on earth in
| which the presence of Mr.. johnson will
be particularly valued. Afler all, ii
there was only a ladder by which TO
get TO It, that Hole in the Heavens Sc
Iected by Mr.. Boutwell, as the place to
which Mr.. johnson should be consign-
ed might be as eligible as any hole that
he can crawl into.
Mr.. johnson, however, may console
himself with one reflection, II with nc
other. It Is said that misery loYes
company. he cannot be mistaken in
estimating himself as of about as much
consequence AS either OF the other two
discharged observation-disclosures. Fill

upon the confidence Of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary comp plants. Through along

character and power to cure the various affections
or the lungs and throat, have nudet known rs

milder forms OF disease and to young children, II II
at the same time the most ehectnal remedy that eau
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
gcrous affections OF the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject TO colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption Is thought III
durable, still great numbers Of cases whore the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
CHerrU PecfOruE. So complete Is its mastery
over the disorders OF the Lungs and Threat, that
the most Obstinate of them yield TO it When moth.

VIE LOTT -. SCHOOL FUND.

The Memphis Ledger stated few
days ago thatthcro was $4,000 or SOL
600 eff the assets Of the Tennessee Ma
tional Bank in the hands Of certain
party in Memphis, which should go far to
replace what is called the school fund.
The Memphis Appe0l Of the 18th inst.
says
eSterday we made it our special
business to obtain the facts concerning
this large sum, and submit, As very Ieli-
able authority, the following 10 our read
ers The Tennessee National Bank,
some time before its failure, was made
the depository Of the funds Of the State
from whatever source collected in this
city and vicinity. As such depository
there was, at the time Of its closing,
the sum Of $4,000 on deposit for the
State, the proceeds OF tax collections.
There being no money from which TO
reimburse the State for this sum, Certain
bills receiva5le'-among the best in
the bank-wcrc set aside and placed in
the haniS Of a reputable law firm for
collection, the firm giving their receipt
therefor to the State, which receipt Is
now in the hands of the State Treasurer,
and is doubtless carried over upon the
books Of the State as representing part
Of her assets. This firm, we further
learned, has been compelled to institute
suits for the recovery of the value Of
these "bills"-many Of them now pend
Ing in the Municipal, Chsncery and Su-
premo Courts. The amount is in no way
connected with the school fund" and
could not, as we understand, be applied
to the deficiency in that fund Of which
we complain. In this matter we acqri-
the State authorities Of all culpabiity."

TuE FRANCHISE OUESTION.

Our columns this morning contain two
papers regarding the important subject Of
eniranchisement in this State, which will
attract general attention. We trust they
indicate the drift of sentiment in the
dominant PARTY, and prefgure some early
movement for amendment Of the franchise
statutes which will establish political
liberty in Tennessee.
One of them is the letter from Senator
Fowler document which is creditable
alike to his head aud his heart and the
other is the editorial from the Clarksvillc
Patriot, edited by Mr.. ]. J. Buck, late
a Radical candidate for Congress in the
sixth district.
The late hour at which we received
the first of these papers forbids anything
mere than a brief notice and general
commentator of the spirit in which it i.
written; and we reserve for another
time any more extended comment that i
may seem to need.

same thing. Nothing could more clearly
demonstrate that he is controlled in his
action by partisan feeling, and not by the
law and right, than the facts to which we
have referred. And this is the character
Of his action upon every question having
a political bearing, and he feels that, con-
stituted as the Legislature is, he can do
this with perfect immunity.
