Sensation Dispatches From Washing
f0u

The following brace Of dispatches from
the fountain head Of sensation rumors are
presented to the reader for comparison.
The first is from the Louisville Journal
where statements as TO what the President
will do, mag be corrected but we don't be-
leve it. Their publication by the Journal
is no evidence of their correctness for the
writers for that paper are the biggest liars
in Kentucky or Washington.
Were the President to do what the Jour
mats Washington Correspondent says be
has promised to do, he would be guilty of
a clear violation Of the Constitution and
laws, and we don't think Andrew Johnson,
is prepared to do this in the interests Of
Horatio Seymour.
The Louisville Journals Washington dis
patch reads:
In a recent conversation, the President
expressed himself unreservedly and warm
w on the condition of affairs in Tennessee.
In regard to the calling out of the militia
by Brownlow, he pointed to the constitu
tional provision that no State could organ
ize standing army in times of peace, and
said that if the militia were unlawtully
called out they would be confronted by the
national troops. In order to carry out this
line of policy new commander of the de-
partment in place of Gen. Thomas was
canvassed, and the names of Gems. Rous-
seau and Gorden Granger and Gillem men
toned prominently Herewith.
On the other hand the Cincinnati Gazette
gives the following on the same day. The
Gdzette'S statement may be erroneous, but
it is decent, respectable, truthful journal,
and the probabilities are thatitis right.
It's statement as to the Presidents feelings
relative to the ungrateful manner in which
he was treated at New York, correspond
with all the information brougt here from
Washington by his neighbors and friends
The Gdeette says:
ANDY MAD.
The President is represented az being
exceedingly displeased at the reports made
regarding his conversations with those
gentlemen from New York who have been
trying to reconcile him to the Seymour
ticket. The very slight illusions in Demo
cratic papers to his final promises to sup
port their ticket have annoyed him TO such
degree that prominent Democrats here
assert that they would not be surprised at
positive break on his part with the Dem
ocrats. One Of the latter class, most in
innate with Mr.. Johnson, and one OF his
warm defenders, asserted to-day that the
President was not inclined to do the Demo-
Gratis any good, and could not be depended
on for any party whatever.

ST.. LOUIS, November IA Salt Lake
special to the Democrat says the hang
ng of the three rougns at Bear City on
the 18th, created great excitement, and
this morning a mot of two hundred men
burned the Frontier Index office and the
jail. The citizens armed themselves and
fired on the mob, killing ten and wound
ing a number. It wss feared that the
whole own would be burned, and the
women and children were fleeing for
safety.
Later dispatches from Bear City say
the city is now quiet, under martial Lag,
and business ia going on rs usual. Guards
have been placed en- the outskirts of the
town, and are also patroiliDg the streets.
The mob was scattered and fed to the
mountains this afternoon, and at dusk
were seen collecting in small squads
The riDglesdeFs, Smith and Daily, were
seriously wounded, and are not expected
to live. 1t is now reported that twenty
Of the mob are dead and thirty-five are
wounded, two mortaily. Aoitizsn named
Armstrong was shot dead.
LATER-9 p m.-The mob collected iG
the mountains neal Bear river, and sent
into town for a physician to attend to
the wounded. They sent back word by
the physician for the womSn and chill
dren to leave the town, ss they intended
to march on it 400 strong, and burn it.
The Mayor has teIegrsphed to Fort
Bridges for troops, and they are expected
tomorrow.
Gen. Sheridan, with about 5000 men,
will soon commence operations against
the Indians on the Arkansas and Ca
madam rivers. He will attack them in
their winter quarters, destroy sIi they
possess, and force those who escape the
slaughter to the reservation south of the
Arkansas.

IHMTGRATION.

We are glad to learn that the psOple OF
the State In every direction are beeon-
ing thoroughly alive to the Importance
of immigration. Many Of the counties
have organized Boards of immigration,
snd private citizens are interesting them
selves in the matter by correspondence
snd through private agents at New York
and elsewhere. We enjoyed 3 brief con-
versstIon yesterday with an old citizen
Of West Tennessee just returned from
New York who informed us that it
needed but the aid the State ia likely to
give to induce an immigration hither,
not only OF Europeans, but of thrifty
farmers from Pennsylvania and othei
States, possessed Of SIMPLE lean to open
lands and enter upon the work OF profta-
bic farming the fret year of their arrival.
II every man who has land to sell will
but advertise it properly, as We sug-
gested a week ego, and put him
self in correspondence with influential
agents at the great ports, they may make
l"i liOW'SSAA ouS so@7OA more money
than by any other speculation that can
open TO them. They may not only sell
and settle their surplus lands with agood
class Of citizens, but by doing 50 they
will double the price OF what they retain
beside that they can assure themselves
%neighbors upon whom they can rely to
assist In az intelligent dis~pensation OF the
government Of the State.

The Ledger, in some comments upon
our brief paragraph upon the report OF
he Legislative Committee in regard to
the condition OF the State Treasury, sug-
gests that We pursue the matter of the
School Fund farther, investigate the
pros and cons and give the result to the
public. We beg leave to demur. Unless
we get farther light from an official in
vestigstion Of the facts as to the "sscred
fund.-" we despair OF knowing anything
beyond what has already been given the
public. We have heard ruInors akin to
those suggested by the Ledger, but we
do not care 20 make publication Of mere
rumor. Besides, if such g sun SIS S52,-
eco Of the School Fund is known to any
OF our citizens to exist in Memphis the
fact must be known to those who msde
the report upon the condition Of the
Treasury, and the parties in possession
can shield themselves behind the official
recognition; or it may be in suit and
therefore not an Rvsilable asset Of the
State. We know nothing Of The matter
beyond what We have already published.
