The Louisville Courier of Sunday
says A special dispatch last night
from New York to the Courier, from an
entirely reliable source, informs us that
Chief justice Chase has written letter
to John Cisco, Esq, of that city, pledging
himself unreserVedly to support the
nominee of the Democratic National
Convention for President This may be
relied upon as correct, and fully commits
that eminent statesman to opposition to
the Radical Jacobins. ..-......

FHE STATE CREDIT TENNESSEE
FUNDS ATrACHEDINNE WORK


Private dispatches were received in the
city yesterday stating that parties in
New York who held overdue Tennessee
bonds had attached all the funds sent by
the State authorities and railroad com
pauies and provided by tho Board Of
Finance to pay the Iuly interest on the
State debt The amount Of our bonds
which fell due on tho 7th Of May is 81. =
100000, Of which but a very small pros
portion has been taken up by the sub
stitution Of new bonds The Legislature
provided for the issue of new bonds with
which TO take up those falling due id
May, but come Of the parties holding the
May bonds refused 10 receive
the new and deprecated bonds in
exchange for those for which they
expected 10 receive dollar for dollar No
other effort has been made 10 settle with
the holders Of these overdue bonds, and
they have attached the money which has
been raised TO pay the interest on the
State debt falling due on the let Of July
This money was raised BY what tax col,
lections cOuld be made, by the sale Of
bonds ut sixty cents which were au-
thoriEed to be issued 20 take up those due
in May, and BY borrowing and hyPotho-
eating these bondn as security This
news created no little conservation "a

var made upon The State credit, both at
home and abroad Rebel paPsEs and Be
bel stump orators, a. -Well As Preteaeed
friends, have alike predicted our ALLURE to
meet the July interest or tAs State debt.
Despite all this opposition, The July iHEsr-
est has been met, snd the credit Of the Slate
il improving. SENIOR EDIToR.
This boast Of the Governor was in
tended 70 inspire confdeneeIiu the fnan-
cial arrangements Of his Administration
The money had been provided TO meet
the July interest," bat no arrangement
had been mads With the heavy creditors
Of Che State and they seem unwilling 10
indulge the Governor nj his extrayagant
Boosting, and have commenced picking
up whatsssr faads fhey can find belong
ing 70 The State As soon as this infor-
matioureached here yesterday dispatches
were sent % % stop every dollar possible
that had not already reached New Nork.
The result Of this movement On the
part Of the creditors of the State has
bean q heavy decline IN the price Of Ten-
nessee bonds ID New YORK at noon
Yesterday the new bonds were selling at
744, and an hour or two later they had
declined to 724. What will be the effect
Of 'fhis movement upon the credit Of the
State, unless it shall be eounteracted-
which is utterly impossible in the present
condition Of the finances Of the State-it
is difficult to estimate 1t cannot be
otherwise than ruinOus. 1t is simply
impossible now to provide for the July
interest unless the attachments under
which that already provided is held can
be vacated, and the money applied to the
purpose for which it was raised We
take it that this cannot be done, and tbs
consequence is The credit Of the State is
to suffer materially. We are thus getting
a glimpse of whittier We are drifting un'
der Radical rule The finances Of tht
State have been most bunglingly ant
wretchedly managed. Money which hai
been wrung from the hard earnings o
the taxpayers has gone to support the
most extravagaBt State government W,
have ever had, instead otrpaying OF tn,
indebtedness Of the State Thousand
upon thousands Of dollars have beer
wasted in the most useless extravagance
which ought 10 have been husbandeC
with the greatest care for the emergency
which lie now upon the State Thu
people, considering their impoverished
and oppressed condition, have paid th'
outrageously high taxes imposed upor
them with wonderful promptitude, ant
with that econdmy which should have
characterized an administration at sucl
time as that through which we have
passed, the means with which TO NEE
every dollar of the indebtedness of thu
I State should have been in the treasury
Instead of this, one expedient ate
another has been rssorted TO to raise th'
means 10 meet the demands pressing np
on an empty treasury, until these de-
mands have become of such proportion
as to be utterly unmangeable by ouI
Radical authorities As the result o
this tinkering policy, utter ruin nov
menaces the credit of the State, and oul
authorities find themselves in a condition
10 which they are rowerless to proven
that dire calamity, the bankruptcy ant
ruin of great State. d

CHARLESTON, June 29.-Gov. Scott, in

Terrible Volcanic EruptiOnS at the
Sandwich Islands,

The barque Comet, which arrived at San
Francisco on Thursday, from the Sandwich
Islands, brings accounts of terrible vol
canic eruption by the Mauna Loa, which be-
gan its demonstrations on March q. One
hundred earthquake shocks were felt, and
during the two weeks following, to April 13,
two thousand earthquake shocks occurred at
Waischina The earth opened in many
places, and the tidal wave, 90 feet high, rose
over the tops of the cocoa trees for quarter
of a mile inland, sweeping human beings,
houses and everything movable before it
The shock Frustrated churches and houses,
and killed many persons. In all, 100 lives
were lost, besides 1000 horses and cattle
The craters vomited fire, rocks and lava,
and river of red hot lava FIVE or six miles
long flowed to the sea at the rate of ten miles
per hour, destroying everything before it
and forming an island in the sea. A new
crater, two miles wide, has opened, throw
ing rocks and streams of FIRE 1000 feet high J.,
and streams of lava rolled to the sea- At
one time the illumination extended so miles
at night. The lava has pushed out from the
shore one mile. At Waischina, three miles
from the shore, the Conval Islands rose sud-
denly, emitting a column of steam and
smoke, while the Keno packet was passing,
spattering mud on the vessel.
The greatest shock occurred April O.
Prior to the eruption there was a great
shower of ashes and pumice. During the
shock the swinging motion of the earth wa.
dreadful, so that no person could stand. In
the midst of this an eruption of red hot earth
rolled down the mountain, and rushed acros:
