New ORLEANS, February 24-Gen.
Hancock has published n card, stating
that the statement in the editorial col
umns Of the New York Sun Of the 18th
instant, giving extracts purporting to
come from him, is malicious misrepre
sentation, totally without foundation.
and that he never wrote such letter as
the one referred to, or used such express
sions. ,GQEFa
A resolution was offered in the Con-
vention to-day to appoint committee
of seven, to be empowered to enforce
the collection of the tax levied BY the
Convention, and to call the Convention
together if it is deemed necessary. 1t
lies over.
Blackburn offered preamble and res
olution, which is protest against Gen.
Hancock's financial order of Saturday,
and that copies Of the same be forwarded
to the Senate, the House of Representa-
tives and Grant.

Iohnson and sherman.

A Washington correspondent OF the
New York Journal Of Commerce states
that the creation of new military divi-
sion, with the brevet appointment OF
Sherman, has been in contemplation by
the President for considerable time,
and that when Gen. Sherman was in
Warrington several weeks since, Mr..
johnson mentioned his determination
to the General, who was far from in
,imating any Dissemination to accept it"
This accounts for the fact of Sherman's
late unfortunate appointment, and seems
10 indicate that the President has been
treacherously dealt with by Sherman as
we'll as by Grant The same correspond
eut adds: at must be admitted that on
being advised by Mr.. johnson Of his pur-
noses, the General intimated that per
haps il would be better not to create the
Office of General by brevet, but his tone
in speaking Of the matter was such as
became q modest man, under the circun
stances, but not such as to admit Of the
inference that the compliment would BE-
declined"
The fact that Mr.. johnson has beer
again deceived, when he has bad sucl
frequent occasions Of distrusi, Of late
voald seem TO indicate that Sherman haS
changed front and proved false both 4
a. President and to bis own honor. Ri

Special Dispatch to the Avalanche.
NASHVILLE, February a. The bill
appointing five Commissioners for Mem
phis is not now here. Mr.. Richardson
took it back to get an Endorsement by
memorial of large property holders and
friends, to lobby it through. The Shelby
County Representatives are against it,
although they were offered lucrative
places under the Commissioners.
The bill proposes to abolish the Police
Commissioners City Commissioners
to hold Office FIVE years, and to
appoint and remove all officials, and to
assess, collect and disburse all moneys.
No scrip now issued is to be receivable
after a certain date for taxes or privi-
leges. The Commissioners are to give
each fifty thousand dollars bond, and no
Court or Judge to grant injunction unless
on final hearing the bill and answer
and appeal to be taken direct to the Su-
preme Court. The intended City Com
missioners are Messrs. Greenlaw, Hill,
Moore, Richards and Richardson.
5 The mechanics lien law, with beneii-
eial amendments, passed.

If the Radical leaders tell us the truth,
this country is full Of disloyal men. 1t
they do not, it certainly has a prodigious
number of liars. Maryland and Ken
lucky both are so crowded with loyalists
that they viii send none but disloyal
men to Congress. Ohio is also disloyal
enough to send Thurman to talk rebel
lion in the capitol. The majority OF the
voters in Tennessee are not loyal enough
10 be enfrsnchised, and ten other States
so disloyal that they are unfit for repre-
sentation, and only fit to be taxed Be-
sides, the whole Democratic North is
disloyal, and ready to support disloyal
traitor President in traitorous acts. The
United States, as whole, are equally
destitute Of loyalty, if the Radicals tell
us the truth about Il, and all the loyalty
left is in the Brownlow and Fletcher gov
ernments, and the Congress, being loyal
thus misrepresentS the country. Whata
misfortune that great nation like this
should be so full of disloyal menl Or
what national disgrace that so many
liars are found within it to invelgh
against its citizens, and so many Phari-
sees to set themselves up as better than
the body of its voters Alas the great
mass of the people are traitors, or great
minority, who hold the reins of power,
have shamefully belied the rest.
The whole body of the Democratic
leaders of the North, according to the
authority of the Radical press and the
Radical Congressman, gave aid and com
fort to the Southern rebellion, and as
much deserve to be disfranchised as any
rebels. What q land of traitors or
what nation of liars escape from the
dilemma as YOU may.

Law Making Extraordinary.

The following bill was offered in the
House Of Representatives yesterday:
Be il enacted By the Legislature Of the
State of Tennessee, That section 22S8 of
the Code be and the same is so amended
that, in the event a widow shall die with
out issue by her husband, from whose es-
tate she receives property exempt from
execution, the same shall inure to her
separate use, and she shall not be re-
sponsible to account to any person other
than her own children, the issue of the
marriage.
Let us see how this would work. We
suppose the bill takes it for granted the
husband is already dead. Now, If the
widow die, too, how can the property ex-
empt from execution be made TO inure TO
her separate use2 But again. If she
has no children by her husband, and he
dead also, how can she be expected TO
answer responsibility to children that
never existed Some change in the
Code is. perhaps, necessary, but this
lands the business in the middle OF
muddle that would run an average law.

To declare a preference will do no
good and may possibly be productive of
much evil. Intelligent and sagacious
representatives to the National Conven-
ton should be selected; men in whose
integrity and sound judgment we can
repose entire confidence, and they
! should be left untrammeled by instruc-
tons to act as they may find will best
subserve the interests of the whole
country. Such men, il they believe
that it will be the best policy to sup
port Mr.. Pendleton, and that he will
make the strongest candidate, will, as a
matter of course, vote for him whether
! instructed or not; but if they find that
his nomination will not afford as strong
assurances of success as the nomination
of some other man. say either of the Sey'
mours. Franklin Pierce, Andrew john
son, or any one else who may be brought
forward, and they are unrestricted, they
can act promptly and without any fear OF
mourning the reprosch Of disregsrding
the expressed will Of their constituents.
Though we might personally prefer
Mr.. Pendleton for President to any Of
the gentlemen named or likely 10 be
named, and with our present lights we
do prefer him, we cannot conceal from
ourselves the fact that large portion oil
the Southern people feel that they owe
10 Andrew johnson a debt of gratitude
which they are anxious to have repaid
They look upon him as their friend
and protector, who, though be has mo-
been able to accomplish as much as be
desired in their behalf, has proclaimed
their rights upon all occasions, and has
exerted all the power which a corrup
and usurping Congress had left him tC
restore to them the rights which have
been so scandslously withheld from
them. They feel that be would have dom
more for them if il had been in hi
power, aud many Of their presse
have advocated his re election. The ex
preston Of q preference by the Ken
lucky Democratic Convention for an
, other man would cause them great sur
prise and would produce the impression
, upon their minds that We were disposeS
. 70 abandon their most important inter
ests. But if our delegates 90 into th
convention untrammeled they will re

His father was assassinated in the streets Of New

troubles there, and his nephew was caught in the
machinery of the factory where be was at
