General Grant and the New York
World.


That able and enterprising news
paper, the New York World, has ever
since the Presidential election devot-
ed itself to the work of showing that
a great split was inevitable at an
early Gay between Gen. Grant and
the Republican party, intimating, in
addition, that the General would
make a good Democratic President
after alf. 1t torhs out thatthe Presi-
dent elect does not appreciate the
H'orld'S spcculatons and doubtful
compliments. The Washington cor
respondent of tho Boston Journal says
in relation to the Worlds gossip, that
Gen. Grant, in conversation with a
Western member of Congress-, three
or four days ago, very freely express
cd his opinion of the New York
World. Referring to certain articles
in that paper, intimatirg, if not di.
rectly asserting that the President
elect would eventually split with his
party and pursue a course similar to
that pursued BY President johnson,
he of course, denounced the whole
statement as false, and added that he
considered "The New York World
one of the most traitorous and dis
loyal papersin the country."--PSe

The morning comes--the sunlight shines

The storms Of war did darken, then,

REGISTER TO.DAY.

Col. WILLIAMS, the Comfy Regis
trar, has given assurances that to-day
he will make up fully for the time lost
on Monday by the displacement OF
the registration blanks. We hope so.
BsFthe promptness and application
"a will characterize him and his en-
ployees to-day, his honesty, upright
ness and probity are to be determined.
He must remember, that as a Radical
official, he is regarded with suspi-
cion, and that the mismanagement OF
Monday last has subjected him not
only to merited censure, but TO odium
and the charge of unfairness. He has
it within his power to recover the
ground he has lost in the good opinion
of the people of the city and
county, by a faithful, prompt and con-
tinued performance of his duty so long
as a white man shall present himself
to-day. The indignation of the peo-
pie, should any other course be
pursued, viii find quick expression
and determine for him and those con-
cerned with him n character that will
be anything but enviable. We hope
he will do his duty, regardless OF
party or personal prediction for can
didates, and that the white men OF
Shelby viii test him by promptly APP
plying for registration papers.

.G.CERA-l

The recent news from Cuba is of the
most encouraging character for the
friends of the insurgents. Not alone
have the patriots achieved successes
by arms, but the contingents from
New York and New Orleans have
landed without interruption, with
supplies, arms and ammunition. The
Spanish volunteers are succumbing to
the combined effects of the climate
and Cuban prowess, and an ally of the
patriot eause has recently made his
appearance in the person of Yellow
Jack, a fellow who fights indiscrim-
inately and, alike a thief in the
night" has already terrorized the
Spaniards operating on the island OF
Porto Rico. Between the industry
and bravery of the Cubans and the
early resumption of the sway of yell
low fever, we have reason to believe
that the fellows who, like the Arkan-
sas militia, shoot men murderously
and unfortunately, and who deal
treacherously and unmanly by wO-
men, will be defeated, and that Cuba
will shortly be freed.

EDULL AND HEAFY.'

These are the words that by tele-
graph, yesterday morning, were EN-
ployed to characterize the status of
Tennessee securities in the New York
market. Dull and heavy, old 67@6sf;
new, 654@654. And what is it that
thus declines our securities and renders
them heavy and dull? 1t is not that,
like gold or 5-20's, they are the sport
of the Wall street ring. There they
are not Of as much Importance as the
bonds of q second class Western Rail-
road, And why? Because u State
affairs are managed by incompetents,
and the taxes r appropriated for pur-
poses personal tai the leaders of the
Radical partyinS1ead OF being applied
TO the payment of the dues of the
State and the legitimate demands upon
her treasury. Already we know that
the Golfers of tho State are empty.
The loan recently Negotiated was ex-
haustcd in paying theidle, lazy, vaga-
bond militia and making good to the
schools a portion of the fund filched
from the children OF fho State through
the Tennessee National Bank, and
Otherwise. The July interest is rap
idly maturing. Aliotller nohth and
that will have TO be paid. Out of.

the people, instead Of lessening
their burdens by what they pay, are
merely contributing TO the support Of.
RadicaIism. Capitalists in New York
are eognizant of this disheartening
state of affairs. They see that so far
from paying as We 60, We are plung-
ing deeper and deeper in debit and

The question as to whether the
5000, 900 in gold turned over to BROWN
LOW by Col. FORFEIT, and by the
Legislature appropriated variously-
into private Radical pockets and to
the School Treasury-is the property
of the creditors of the Bank of Ten
nessee or could be legislated, in disre-
gard of their claims, as belonging to
the school fund, has been brought up
in the Chancery Court of Davidson
county, Chancellor OTIs, presiding.
Messrs. 5BAxTER Il TRIMBbE are for
the creditors, and EAST & HMeRIsoS
for the State. This is a gOOdly array
of talent and we may expect that
whatever the decision of the Chan
cenor, the law in the case will be
made full, clear and explicit. Much
depends upon this decision that does
not appear-the question as to who
are creditors may be raised, and in
that way the responsibility of the
Bank to all who have been paid in what
the Supreme Court regards as spuri-
Ous issue, may come up again.
