Conference or Ex- Confederate Gene
rails and the Military CSmmIttee-The
Opening OF tho Canvass.
NASHVILLE, August 1.-Gep erals Cheatham,
Maury, and Bushrod Johnson sought and OBJ.
tanned an interview to-day with the Military
Committee of the Legislature. The conference
lasted two hours. and was cordial and satisfac-
tory on both sides. These ex-Confederate Gene
rails expressed a most decided hostility to the
programme Of forcible resistance to the State
Government inaugurated by the conservative
Rebel politicians.
They expressed themselves In strong terms
respecting these restless politicians, who are
urging the people to resist the constituted
authorities, characterizing them as citizens In
war and generals in peace. They pledged them
selves to go through the State, if necessary, and
use their personal influence to propose peace
and put an end to the operations of the "Ku.
Klux."
General Cheatham spoke with deep feeling
saying that he kept the parole which he gave
when he surrendered always about his person,
and felt that he was in honor bound to yield
quiet and honor and obedience to the laws.
There will be a Convention in this city to NOR
row of thirteen general officers of the late Con.
federate army. to take into consideration what
they can do to preserve the peace of the State
The Military Committee is calmly considering
the situation, but will mature measures be-
fore next week A firm policy has been resolved
upon, and there will be no backing down on
account OF the threats of war Illuminated by rest
less politicians The indications to-day are
favorable for the preservation of peace.
The Presidential campaign was opened in
Tennessee yesterday by speech at the Capital

ence listened to the address, which was enthu-
siaSlically cheered.

The demonstration was a splendid affair
certainly more brilliant tnan anything else

If further evidence was wanting in regard to

to resort to war and bring upon all Lne horrors
of revolution? Read the remainder of the Blair
letter. He says that he wants to stand before
the Convention upon this proposition TO renew
the rebellion. He did go before the Convention
upon that proposition, and he was nominated
upon the first ballot, while Horatio Seymour,
believe, was not nominated under some twenty
five or thirty ballots. Here Is the direct Propo-
sition. He is TO be nominated, If at all, upon
apropositiop to overturn the State Governments
by military force, and thus again bring war
upon us. You who want war, vote for Frank
Blair; but you who want peace, vote for Grant,
for he said Let us have peace" [Applause

Brutal Treatment and Murder of Child.

brute in human form by the name of Robert
Beckley, who removed hither from Illinois
about six months since, took his stepson, a
child two years and eight days old, out In the
suburbs OF the town, and there deliberately
Eilled 1t. The evidence at the inquest rev galed
seen by different parties whipping or beating
the child in a most unmerclful manner-Such
as setting IL up on a high stool and knoc king 1t
therefrom with his hand; lifting IL clear from
the floor by the nape of the neck, and beating
IL while there suspended; and otherwise treat
ing II only as a demon would treat helpless
child of two years. 1t is the opinion of the
physicians who held the post-mortem eXami-
nation that he struck the little fellow on the
back of the head with a stone or some other
hard substance, depressing The skull, and that
death ensued in q few moments The VILLAIN
was promptly arrested, and will have his ex-
animation TO morrow. Much indignation was
felt and expressed by the citizens last night,
but think there is no danger OF another case OF

New Regulations Affecting Commerce.
The New York HeraLd'S correspondent, writing
from Havana, July 25 says
A royal decree that appeared In the Gaceta
Ofciat of the goth is OF great interest and Inn
portance to the commerce OF all Spanish pos
sessions, and therefore demands passing
notice at my hands. By this decree the kiloli-
tro, or cubic metre, becomes the legal ton for
the burden measurement OF vessels coming
into Spanish ports. The Custom House regu.
lations relating TO the collection of sani.
lary dues in accordance with articles $50
and 5S3 of those regulations and the re-
duction process of the existing tonnage
OF all national and foreign vessels to the
kilolitro standard are arranged in conformity
with the law of July l9, l849 and form fifteen OF
those adopted by the permanent Com mission on
these (articles 5S2 5S3) is extended and applied
First, TO the tariffs and regulations relating to
OF more than 400 tons; second. TO the prohi-
bitionary admission of vessels of foreign timber
that 10 not possess this capacity; third, to the
payment OF the tariff duties appertaining 10
iron and wooden vessels when making their en-
tries; fourth, TO all other operations and deeds
connected with the custom revenues The
decree is not to have any retroactive effect, but
is only applicable from Its publication, and no
reclamations or claims for damage or Injuries
arising from its execution are entsrtainable by
the Government. The latter provision must
necessarily insure the decree an unwelcome
reception from American shipoWners and
masters. The change in the standard repre-
sentation of the ton unity and the divers COM
plicated provisions for compliance with the
altered condition OF measurement will but
add to the many embarrassments and COM
plexities now already in the way Of American
commerce with Spanish ports. No doubt
many cases of unpremeditated error and
perfectly unintentional deviations from the
requirements of the law must arise, and TO fine
ana punish the innocent infractors without any
allowed opportunity of appeal 10 the good sense
and justice OF higher parties is unwise, unjust,
and even tyraunical. You may be sure that
there will be an increasing percentage of impo-
sitiops and outrages upon American commerce
to report on account of this decree. The already
complicated relations between the American
Government and the Cuban authorities must
become more so until patience and forbearanee
shall cease TO be virtues, and Jke American
people, rising in their might shall require from
Spain, without the alternative OF dsolension,
that a more enlightened, honest, and liberal
policy be followed towards American COM
meTce,
