A peical to the st. Louis Republican
dated Nashville, June 4, says:
1.-THE Democratic State Convention
which meets here next Tuesday, to
appoint delegates to the National Dems.
cratic Convention, promises TO be the
largest gathering of the kind that has
ever assembled 10 Tennessee. Delegates
to the State Convention were appointed
in the the different counties last Monday,
and, as far as heard from, not a single
county indicated a preference for Mr..
PendletOn, while a number declared
squarely for Mr.. Johnson. The general
feeling throughout the State appears to
favor johnson as the first choice. The
~greenbsck issue is looked upon, in Ten
nessee, as quite secondary in Importance,
while a Presidential candidate, who is
likely to be available in battling against
Radicalism and its Reconstruction pol
icy, will receive the support Of the Ten
nessee delegation. The indications now
are that the delegation will not go
pledged to support any particular candi-
date, but be left at liberty to vote for any
nan who a. concentrate all the ele-
ments in opposition to Radicalism. "
From the general tone of the press, we
are inclined to think the matter will not
be left entirely to the delegates, but they
will receive instructions. This would
prevent any difficulty at New York.

bill us though its provisions were
something new--an unbeard of. nm
warrantable Interference with tho
rights and prerogatives OF the Pres
ident. And yet Henry Clay
man whom thcso same politicians
now delight to honor--in his lit,
time was the author of q similar
bill, which received not only hi'
support, but also that of Daniel
Webster and Thomas Ewing. In
1885 there was a lengthy discus
sion in the Senate OF the United
States upon the po xer Of appoint
ment and removal, and Mr.. Clay
offered the following amendment
to bill then pending. to.wit:
"Be IL further enacted, That in
all instances of appointment to Of.
fee by the President, by and with
the advice and consent of the Sun-
ate, the power Of removal shall be
exercised in concurrence with
the Senate; aud when the Senate
ia not in session, the President
may Saspend any such officer, com
municating his reasons for the sus.
pension during the first month Of
its succeeding session, and il the
Senate concur with him, the officer
shall be removed; /; bus ifit do not
concur with him, the officer shall be
restored to Office
The amendment contains every
principle, though in o condensed
torn, of the Tenure of-ofiice law
and the following statement Of the
remarks Of Mr.. Ewing touching
this matter, come III every appro'
priatcly just now, in view OF hl'

Remarkable Escape.

The following beats all the sto.
ries OF rsparkable escapes which
we remember TO have heard: "On
the passage of the ship Alexander
from New Orleans to New York, a
young lad, about fourteen years OF
age, from a naturally irolicsome
and mischievous disposition, be-
came so troublesome in his prank
that he was threatened by the cap
tain, il they were continued, tina
he would confine him ia a water
cask. Our youngster took no no
tice, however; and at the next of.
feuse, was put in the cask, which
was headed up, leaving a large
bung.bole for the admission Of air
That night the ship encountered u
violent storm. and, in a sudden
lurch, the caek containing the boy
rolled over into the sea. Fortu.
nately, the cask struck bung mp,
and floatcd about thirty hours,
when It wac thrown upon the beach
ut St. Bias. Here the boy made
desperate efforts to exlricate him :.
self from his prison. without sue
o,ss, and. in despair, gave up to
dic. Some cows, however, strolling
on the beach, were attracted t.
the cask, and in walking around
it, one Of them lit being fly time
switched her tail in the bunghole,- =
which the lad grasped with a des.
perate resolution. The COW bel,
lowed. and sci off r life. and after
running some two hundred yards
with the cask, struck il against o
log on the beach, and knocked it TO
smash. The boy was discovered
by some fisherman on the Point,
and taken to APalachicoIs. where
a small collection being HDsde for
him, no was enabled TO proceed
north by way OF Columbus"
