General Grant and the Work
OF Accommodation

Documents read in the Serate, on the
26th ul'ime, from General Grant contain
the fohowing telegrams tH ir
teIj s.Ie WASHINGTON, Aug. 3, 1867.
To Major General John Pope:
L think your views sound, both on the
construction which you give to the laws ef
Congress and the duty of the supporters of
good government 10 see that when recon
struction is effected that no loophole is left
open TO give trouble and embarrassment
hereafter. 1t is certainly the duty of the
District Commander TO study what the
trainers of the Reconstruction law wanted
to express, as much as what they do cx
press. and TO execute the laws according TO
that Interpretation. This, ! believe they
have generally done, ane So far have the
approval of all who approve the Congress
ional plan of reconstruction.
(Signed) U. s. GRANT, General.
On the 23d of December last, General
Grant telegraphedt to General Pope as oil
lows: Ei aoif fHna11 ~ sfs1.-Co
The constitutions adopted by the con-
ventions now in session are not the laws OF
the States until submitted to the people and
ratified by them, do not see, therefore,
how you can enforce laws enacted by them.

Tennessee was represented yesterday
at the st. Nicholas by two-thirds of its
delegation /; the remainder are anticipate
ed this morning, when a meeting for
organization will be held, and the action
of the delegation decided upon.
General Bate is in charge, and among
the other notabilities are General Ma
polcon Bonaparto Forrest, the famous
cavalry raider Of the Southwest, look
ing as bold and erect as ever, standing
over six feet high, and presenting the
finest physical type of the belligercnt
element i'll the Southwest, that fought
the battles of the Confederacy from
Shiloh to Nashville.
Among those expected tomorrow
are Judge Nelson, of East Tennessee,
whose famous speech in defense of the
President Oh the impeachment trial
tccmed so full of imagery and Byronic
quotations, and A. O. p. Nicholson,
formerly Senator from Tennessee to
the National Congress.

SpeculatiOns of the Press.

The New York papers of Sunday con-
tain the following suesses at the conun-
drum concerning the Coming man."
The World says, that as no one is here
authorized to represent Chase, his case
is on the wane. The few real friends
Of Chase in the convention are careful
to have him kept in the background at
the start.
New York has followed the example
of Pennsylvania, and putup man of
straw. They are not sure of their choice
but are sure they do not want Pen
dlcton.
The Herald warns the convention
that Seymour is still substantially a CALI
ddate, and very formidable one; that
is the game of the "Albany Regency"
to hold him back until the other candi-
dates kill off each other. "Chase," says
the Herald, sis used by the New York
fine players to lay, out Pendleton, who
is too strong to be beaten by direct at
tack, and must be circumvented by
strategy" ar ..
The Herald publishes, with liberal
italics and head lines, Pendleton's
speech in Congress on the 18th of Jan
uary, lS6l-the speech in which he de-
clared the coercion Of the rebels i'm
practicable and proposes to overcome
them by showering upon them tokens
of love. ~ ..i.....
Seymour, the Herald says, is standing
aloof to avoid the first rough blows of
the battle, and this is the old trick of

was delivered by Judge Trigg. lie dis
missed the bill for an injunction upon
the State officers, which forbade the is
suance Of Tennessee bonds to the bogus

The Democratic COnvention---NO
Nomination Yet.


We hoped to be able this week to give
our readers the result of the New York
Nominating Convention, but up to this
writingxlp a. m. Thursday-we are
without definite information. Our dis
patches of the preceding day show the
progress made in ballotting, though
there is very little in them to indicate
upon whom the nomination is likely to
fall. The action of the Convention has
been protracted beyond expectation,
and NAV continue till the close of the
present week before achieving nomi-
nation. We publish on this page u sy-
nopsis Of the platform adopted and a
brief summary of the proceedings as
far as they have come to hand, rcserving
until next week for fuller and more in
telligiblc details.
The Eighteenth Ballot was reached
Wednesday evening before adjourning,
with the following result: Hancock,
l4; Hendricks, 81; Pcndlcton, So.
The Convention is composed of G3l
delegates, double the number of vote,
in the electoral college, which is BIT
BY the adoption Of the two-thirds rule
the successful candidate must receive
the assent of 424 delegates.

Taxes =! TaNcSi

"Hurrah for the Taxes! the jolly old Taxes!
Come, men. get your noses all ground sharp rs
AXesl"
What is to become of the people of
Tennessee? Within the last few years
they have been visited with war, pesti-
lence and famine, but the burden too
"gricvous to be borne is the Radical
Taxes.
Two years ago the State of Tcnnes-
sec owed on account of Railroads and
Turnpike Roads, State Bank, State
Capitol, and all other things, just Sl6,-
5G5,S0G. In the last two years, accord
ing to the published figures, the present
State Government has piled up an adj
ditional Indebtedness for the hard
working people of the State to Shout
der, of Sl5,996,5l5; thus making our
present State liability, actual and con-
tingent, S32,5G2,321. .r.
Again, our worthy Governor, Secre-
tary of State, Comptroller and Treasur-
er, through negligence, or from some
other cause, allowed q ring of sharpcrs
to manipulate them out of SG50,OOO of
United States Seven-Thirty Bonds, en-
trusted to their care as Sacred School
Fund. The people, however, again
went to work and raised about a mil
lion dollars more for Common School
purposes, which has been mainly squan-
dered on the radical militia and for 9TH
er party measures. More recently about
$S5,000, to pay Radical County Claim
Commissioners, which, so far as the
people are concerned, might just as
well have been collected by the tax
gathcrer and burned.
Again, about one million dollars of
our State Bonds are past, due since May
last, which are all unpaid. The interest
on the whole State debt, due July LIST,
just past, has not been paid, and the
States interest in our Railroads is be-
ing attached to pay her past due Bonds
Will the honest, Woodworking white
men, (because they have the taxes to
pay) as they are toiling and sweating in
their harvest fields, reflect but moment
and see if they can tell where the mo-
ney is to come from to sustain this enor-
nous expense?
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1868-07-10
The Militia.

The airi filled with rumors that the
Tennessee militia are to be called out
again-for what purpose no one seems
able to conjecture. If the Governor has
any such intention we hope he will re-
consider it. Peace, order and quiet pre-
vail throughout the State, from the
hills of Carter to the confines Of Shell
by, and we can can conceive of no pos
sible excuse or necessity for the rumor-
cd movement. 1t would demonstrate
such utter ignorance of the real state of
affairs at this time, and the remedy to
be applied, that we can hardly believe
there is any foundation for the report.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1868-07-10
Financial Items.

The New York Tribune in its money
article of tho LIST says:
The default Of the State of Tennessee
upon the interest due July |, has caused
great deal of conversation in Wall
Street not at all complimentary to the
honor Of that State, which has been
sacrificed by her own citizens for dis
honest personal gain. OF the interest,
100000 was on deposit at the Fourth
National Bank, an equal sum was in
the hands of the agents of the railroads
ready to be transferred to the bank, and
this institution had agreed to lend the
State at par the amount necessary to
meet the July coupons in full. In this
state of affairs, when the credit of Ten
nessee was in position where its bonds
were in demand for investment, and
the credit of all borrowers and traders
in the State were steadily advancing
with the markets of New York, legal
proceedings were taken, which made it
necessary for Governor BrownloW and
the Treasurer to advise the New York
agent Of the State to withhold the in
terest. This disaster to the State cred
it, instead of being the subject of re-
greet to prominent citizens of the State
temporarily here, has been the signal
for the expression of their qualification
and Of prediction of still lower rates
for the bonds. The parties thus jubi-
liant on the misfortuncs of their State
are largely identified with its railroads,
and have probably been interested in
speculations against the credit of the
State. When the Legislature meets,
short work will be made of this ques-
ton. The bondholders need have no
fear of the result of the action of the
Legislature, and should not sell their
bonds in panic, created wholly to buy
bonds cheap. The Fourth National
Bank has in this affair shown a liberal
policy toward Tennessee, and has done
all that could have been expected OF a
financial agent. ....u

The Amnesty Proclamation.

The President issued on the Fourth of
July-the anniversary ofthat Day around
which so many rccolcctions cluster
a General Amnesty, copy of which
will be found on another column. The
radicals will no doubt "howl over it,
and point to it as another manifestation
of Mr.. Johnson's sympathy with trca-
son, but as we believe Radicalism, with
all that pertains to it, is rapidly nearly
the end Of the rope, the bowling will do
no hurt. 1t may go on"
We think, with the New York En-
press, that upon such day this official
announcement of Forgiveness, with a
view to a more perfect Union, is pecu-
liarly becoming, and, as such we arc
sure it will meet with joyous and
heartfelt response from all but the devo-
tees Of despotism, hatred and revenge
