DISPATCHES from Washington, on
the 18th, contain the improbable an
nomccment, that the President will
place himself in accord with Congress,
on the question of reconstruction, as
means of securing peace and pros
pcrity. We do not believe it possible
That he can stultiry himself by such
course. He was impeached for his
firm stand and unanswerable argu-
ments against Congressional recon-
struction, and we cannot suppose him
sill J enough to expect blessings from
the peace that is secured only by the
uplifted sword, or that prosperity can
spgin. under influences that, every
VIII ere, tend to desolation and dist ).
If the South is fated to more complete
ruin, we would pref rthat it be effected
by Congressional usurpation, alone,
than with Executive connivance. If
the Union can not bcrestored without
the sacrifice of States rights--if the
South cannot be represented except by
men elected under the dictation ofCon-
gress, under bogus Constitutions and
by illegal voters, let it remain unrep-
resented, until returning justice gives
u voice to its people, and the Federal
Constitution is again recognized rs
the supreme law of the land. 1t is
better to await tardy restoration of
our rights than TO establish n prcce-
dent dangerous TO liberty in all time

WE regret to see,Inat there. are those

WE regret to seethat there are those
In the South who are biting at the
bait thrown out by The bondhoi,iers
in the shape Of Hancock and Hen
drycs, or Hancock andsome one else,
rs the Democratic nominees for the
approaching Presidential canvass. SO
for as his public acts are concerned,
Hancock has shown himself TO be
gentleman and a patriot, with some
manifestations Of craftsmanship. In
this last particular too little Is known
to command public confidence, whilst
his education as asoldlcr, familiarizcd
with absolute rule, as a necessity in
the army, Is. calculated TO create dis
trust as to his appreciation of the great
principles of civil liberty, and doubt
as to his ability TO shake off the in
fuence of military habits and educa-
ton. Perhaps, i'm the history of man
kind, there may be half dozen in
stances of the combination of the sol-
der with the statesman, butperhaps,
in not one of these instances, did the
rare combination occur in the case of
one whose education had been strictly
military.
But, setting aside any objections
growing out of these considerations,
there can be little doubt that the man
whom the bondholders are willing to
nominate, must agree with them on
the one great issue presented, by the
Democrats of the North, to he decided
by the ballot box in November next.
Without this issue, Democracy can
not win, because converts must be
made through pecuniary interest,
principles having become obsolete
ideas; but, with the payment of the
national debt in national currency,
inscribed upon its banner, Democracy
can not be beaten.
We intend no reflection upon Gen
Hancock, because we admire and es-
TEEN the man and il he be the choice
of the Northern Democrats, we shall
support him with pleasure, though
we believe his nomination will be q
fatal blunder. The country has had d
surfeit of shoulder strap rule, and if
the contest bc between two Generals
the masses will be likely to prefer tho
one who ranks highest and who has
made all of his political influence out
of the capital furnished by better, but
less lucky, men. If civil government
is to be revived in this country, il
must be done by cuttingloose from the
military, and there is no more fitting
time for ii than the present.

BURKE, the Fenian convict, pro-
tested against the Judgment of the
court, upon the ground, that he was II
soldier of the L. :. Army. 1t is an
insult to patriotism, to hear man
complain Of punishment because he
was struggling to free Ireland from
English oppression, and found his
claim 10 immunity from punishment
upon the fact that he took uparms for
tire tyrannical North, and against the
South, struggling in the same holy
cause of freedom. The Irishman who
fought against the South is no true
friend to Irish liberty, and for his hyp-
o'risy, deserves the penalty pronomc-
eddy English courts. The North and
the South stood relatively rs England
and lreland-the stronger section OPP

patriot who was a yankee soldier is n
cheat and n humbug-for sale 10 the

NASHVILLE, May 1S.-At meet
ing to-day of the State. Board of
Finance, Mr.. Samuel Watson made
a proposition to purchase million
dollars of the State bonds, to be paid
for by the issuance of collaborating
bonds, q rate of interest not exceed
ing per cent, provided the purchase
can be made at such n price MS will
certainly reduce the State debt; also,
sell similar gold bearing bonds to re-
licve the present pressure on the Treas
ury, meet the demands on the school
fund, pay debts due the Fourth Ma
| tional Bank of New York, and the
into rest on the State debt due in July,
provided said bonds can be negotiated
at par, at the rate of interest author
lied by law; creating a Board of
Finance, and an agent to be opposed
to negotiate the sale.
The proposition was appointed by
Secretary Fletcher and Comptroller
Blackburn, President of the Board
and supported by Gov. Brownlow,
by proxy, Mr.. Watson and Treasurer
Henry, and carried. Fletcher and
Blackburn thereupon withdrew from
the Board of Finance. The remain
ing members will meet again We'd
nesday in Knoxville.
The proposition is regarded with
deep interest, and is calculated TO re-
lieve the State and increase the gen-
cral prosperity.
Mr.. Watson will probably be the
agent to negotiate the bonds.
