WASHINGTON, September IL, 1868.
Two events to-day broke in upon the mo-
notony Of the September dullness. One
was the address from the Tennessee State
representatives to the President, the pre-.
paration Of which has been duly heralded
by telegraph and mail for ten days or two
weeks past. The Tennessee gentlemen or.
rived here Yesterday morning, satished
themselves during the day with the com
bitterness of their alarming report, enjoyed
all dav Yesterday the luxuries of first-class
hotel existence, went last night to see the
Black Crook" and appeared punctually
this morning ut the White House at the
hour laid aside for their reception, and
opened their budget Of complaint against
the Kuklux clan, Of which they appear to
be in considerable dread. Your CORE
spondent was at the White House when the
committeeman arrived, but the President,
for some reason, excluded the members OF
the press while the interview was had, and
the Tennesseeans assert gave them instruc-
tions to divulge nothing that occurred.
They came out looking happy, however,
Everybody does who has an audience with
the President, as general thing) and
expressed themselves satisfied with what
assurances had been made to them by
Mr.. johnson. They expect another "con.
fab" tomorrow if they are not favored
tonight. Their report occasions conside-
rable comment. 1t was no doubt Intended
as Radical campaign document-posslbly
as set-off to the Rosecrans correspond
ence, and is compared by many TO the
letter of Governor Yarmouth, brought mere
few weeks ago by Colonel Dean, clamor
m
imagined disturbances there. The Presl-
dent will no doubt refer the report of the
Tennesseeans to the Secretary of War, as ne
did the Yarmouth letter, and the result
will probably be similar, or they will be
eatiefed with the assurance that in case
the Kuklux become formidable in their
midst the Government troops will be forth
with dispatched to their relief.
The other event of moment alluded to IN
commencing this letter is the appointment
Of the first supervisor of internal revenue
under the new law. That is no positive as
surance that other appointments OF TINS
grade will follow speedily, for Rollins and
McCuiloch seem to continue at odds on this
subject the same as formerly. This ap-
pontee is no politician, and Is backed by
men of both parties. He was once noml-
mated as collector of the district of Montana,
but was rejected by the Senate. The pres
ent case needs no confirmation.
The Radicals are using their utmost
efforts to carry Pennsylvania, and have in
augurated a system of tremendous vigor IN
their campaign there. Democrats are also
very eanguine, though they do not brag so
heartily as their opponents. Pennsylvania
is the battle-ground in this fight. If the
Democrats do not win there in October the
cause is hopeless-Maine, Vermont, and
even Ohio, sink into insignifcance in COM
parison. Pennsylvania will decide the
whole subject. That is the opinion Of
several prominent and leading Conservative
politicians.
ml... u4o ave applications now before
the Internal Revenue Office for establish
ing export tobacco bonded warehouses;
three from New York and two from Balti-
more. Two will also be made shortly from
Pennsylvania. There are now in existence
one in Baltimore, one in Boston, and one il
New York.
The weather is oppressively warm. as il
generally is about the 18th Of September
We are reminded of heated term abou
that date from the fact that in the older
time, when militia organizations here were
not contraband," the troops always pa
raded on the 18th in honor of the ami
yersary of the battle of North Point, ant
invariably did so in ,ointer ana form, to thei
immense discomfort, as the heat about tina
time of the year generally exceeded that Q
any portion Of the summer, although last
ing but little while. TI&oN.
