FEDERAL IsrERFERENCE.

The New York Tribune has an
earnest word for the administration
with reference to the military COM
manders and civil aspirants who
are continually boring the White
House and the departments, insist
ing that the President and his cab
met shall intermeddle with South
ern local contests in favor of what
are termed the regular Republican
tickets. We thank the Tribune for
its admission that these are local
contests, and insist that being such,
the people of each particular State
should be left to determine in their
sovereign capacity, under the con-
stitution as it is, who shall be quail
fled voters, with full power to say
whether or not the Chinese shall
be permitted 10 vote. But TO re-
turn. The Tribune is decidedly
opposed to Federal interference,
and, without calling names, reads
Messrs. Boutwell, and Creswell a
severe lecture upon their recent in
termeddling in Tennessee affairs.
Special reference is made to the
pending campaign in Texas. 1t
says:
We have nothing to cay as 10 the pref1
erence of any Texas voter for Davis over
Hamilton; that is his own affair altogeth-
er. II Davis shall be elected, very well;
but if the administration is made to re-
move and appoint federal officers 10
his behalf aud thus exasperste the Ham
lion party, so that a good part of it ahall be
act against the fifteenth amendment, and
if that party shall triumph, msugre all
the efforts made at Washington to defeat
it (which are Just as likely TO help as TO
haTm). and the vote of Texas for the
amendment shall be lost why, then, we
shall protest against the impolicy that
finds favor in high places as little short
of idiotiC
What will the military ruler Of
Texas say to this interference with
his intermeddling in the local con-
test in that State, if it is a State ?
But a few days since Brevet Maj.
Gen. Reynolds addressed letter to
the President, dated Headquarters,
Fifth Military District, State of
Texas He began: "To the Presi-
dent of the United States-My dear
General: After your summer re-
creation have determined to add

then proceeds I'd treat at some length
of the divisions in the Republican
ranks; says the platforms of the two
wings are precisely the same, but
concludes that the success of the
Hamilton faction, as he terms it,
will be the defeat of Republicanism.

THE JI6's UP.

% Greeley says that the key of the
Radical position in the present
struggles the fifteenth amendment.
He is right there. If that amend
ment be defeated, as it certainly
will, then Radicalism is doader
than the Tribune says the late
Gen. Stokes is. We shall hear no
more of imperialism or as it is
mildly termed, consolidation. The
party Of the constitution will go
into power. The rights Of the
States will be respected. The ship
Of state will be brought back from
its piratical cruise, put into dock,
overhauled, thoroughly cleansed
and renewed, and once more sent
forth in the legitimate business
for which she was built.
The fate of the fifteenth amends
ment is sealed in Tennessee. Gree
lev knows it, and blames Gen.
Grants administration for it. Hear
his lament:
The votes OF several States are still
needed for the pending amendment;
we have stood by and seen that Of Ten
nessee thrown away, and will keep ST.
Ience no longer. 1t was entirely praC-
ticable to have saved the State, even af-
ter the insane quarrel which rent the
the Republican party, had the adminiss
tration been allowed TO exert its inAu-
ence and power to that end, it might
have secured a pledge from the
Rebels enfranchised by Sentcr that they
would ratify the fifteenth amendment.
But il was virtually constrained to favor
Stokes after he was deader than any
door nail ever can be; and the net result
of chat folly is the loss Of Tennessee's
vote on the Main Question We insist
that there be no more Of this; for, IS
the lean boarder told his landlady touch
ing bedbugs, 81 really have MT the
blood to "spare."

The Lebanon Herald and Regis
ter states that during this fall a
number of families have left Wilson
county for Texas. Their reason for
this step is that land is too high here
for them to give their children ga
start in the world" We hear that a
number of families have left or are
preparing to leave Robertson coun-
ty for the same destination. The
Knoxville Press and Herald reports
that sixteen families, residing in the
vicinity Of Concord, Knox county,
will leave in a few days for KAN
sas, and the athens Republican
reports that q company Of moro
than one hundred families are pre-
pairing to emigrate from McMinn
county to Kansas. Perhaps this
latter is too large an estimate. We
have already mentioned that par
ty of fifteen families are preparing
10 go from Maury county to Texas
and Arkansas; also that about
twenty families will leave Giles
county and eight or ten Davidson
county for Texas. The reports
show that there is a general move
ment among the people of this
State towards the Western and
Southwestern States, where
lands are cheaper than here. We
fear that we shall lose more eiti-
zens than we shall gain through
the immigration bureau of this
State and all other sources. If we
cannot induce our own citizens to
remain in the State because Of the
high price of desirable lands, how
are we to induce citizen of other
States seeking homes to make in
vestments in Tennessee?

THE REVENUE LAWS.
THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

No subject has been so frequently
mentioned of late in the newspar
pers as the approaching election
for United States Senate. The
names of several distinguished gen
tlemen have been mentioned in
connection Herewith all bitter in
their opposition to Radicalism and
against not one of them have we q
word of reproach to utter or a fault
to find. They are all leaders in our
army, and while we are fighting a
common enemy, who is seeking our
common ruin, we shall not be forced
into the utterance Of harsh asper-
ton against any of the gene
tlemen named. We will not
weaken our own cause or re-
ioice the enemy by stabbing
one of our party or attempting to
drive him and his friends from our
ranks. We do not profess to be
indifferent to the result or not have
a preference. That preference,
based as we believe upon the public
good, backed by the wishes of the
people of the State, is for ANDREW

with number of prominent Re-
publicans, declared a few weeks ago
in his presence that the Republican

found it q necessity for the recon-
struetion of the South upon their

SENATOR WILSON, Of Massachu~
sets, does not approve of the polls
cy of the Grant administration in
interfering in the elections in the
Southern States, by using the fed
eral patronage to defeat the Con-
servatives. He is reported as say
ing at would be better to con-
ciliate all parties claiming to be Re-
publicans, whether they call them
selves Radicals or Conservatives,
and unite them against the Simon
pure Democracy. Ifthis policy had
been pursued in Virginia and Ten
nessee he is satisfied that both of
these States would have elected
straight out Republican tickets. He
thinks Mississippi and Texas can
both be saved to the Republicans il
the proper measures are adopted to
unite the various factions Of the
party. Using the patronage in
Mississippi against Dent, and in
Texas against Hamilton, will, he
thinks, only makevotes for the cam
didates, while it will do the Radl-
Gals no good. 1t is understood that
Wilson, while here yesterday, gave
the President and some Of the
members of the cabinet his opin-
ion on the subject" Grant and his
confidential advisers are taking the
same course with regard to MisSis'
sippi and Texas that they did in
the Virginia and Tcnnssee contests
and there is every reason to hope
that it will be attended with like
results as in these State.

TIE LEsrsr.AIuRr.

The General Assembly which
convenes tomorrow, coming more
nearly from the people than any
General Assembly that we have had
for several years, will necessarily
feel a proportionately greater
amount of responsibility. They
will find vast work before them
one which will task their energies
and their intellects. They come
with high reputation. We hope and
believe that they will be found equal
to the work undertaken by them.
But in order to doso they must at
aIltimes and under all circumstan-
ces remember that they are butHthe
representatives of the people. They
must have an eye single to the inter
ests of the whole State. They must
eschew all rings and cliques.
They must stand upon the
constitution. They must bear. con-
stantly in mind that the govern"
ment was formed to give protec-
ton, contentment and prosperity
to the citizen, and should be so ad-
ministered. The Legislator who
forgets this, forgets his duty, and
will be held to a strict ac-
countability by his constituents.
The important questions which
will come before them for consider
alton are almost too numerous to be
enumerated. Among the first
which will be presented, we pre-
sumo, is asf 'lr ~
THE CONVENTION.
1T is expected that this will be
disposed of at the earliest practiea-
BILE moment, so as to relieve the
DISTINGUISHED at the earliest possi~
BILE day of the shackles which they
have worn so long and SO patiently,
and make such other reforms as
may be deemed essential for the
public good.
THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT %
This, when brought up for ac-
ton, should receive the emphatic
condemnation of the Legislature.
This is an attempted departure
from first principles. 1t is an effort
to make the States subservient to
Congress to take away from the To-
cal governments the right to control
their local affairs; to give to the
government at Washington the
power to say who shall choose every
officer in the State, from the town
constable to the Governor. AS such
it should be branded by the Legis-
lature Of Tennessee.
THE REVENUE LAWS.
These are unequal and unjust.
The taxes imposed by them are toe
burdensome to be borne by an JIM
poverished people. They have
been increased with a rapidity and
to an extent unknown in the his,
tory of Tennessee. They must be
reduced. -i

American Heirs to Property in England
How They are Swindled.

1t would be an interesting subject
for a statistician to cipher up the
amount of money which has been
paid out during the last twenty years,
by persons in this country who i'm
agine themselves heirs to vast estates
in England, tor the purpose of prose
cutting their claims. 1t is safe to say
that, in nine hundred and ninety,
nine out OF a thousand cases, this
money is worse than thrown away,
since it goes to support set ofswin
oilers who live on the greed and cred
ulity of their victims. Mr.. J. F..
Benjamin, the ex.rebel Secretary of
State under Jefferson Davis, now
practicing law in London, having
been applied to for professional assis-
lance in collecting one of these mag
inary windfalls--a fortune said to
have been left to American heirs by
a banker named Wood, who died in
Gloucester in 1836-discovered that
the whole property of the deceased
was long ago distributed to the lega-
tees named in will which was con-
firmed, after much litigation, by the
House OF Lords in 1847. Yet, no
doubt, somebody has received largo
sums at various times from the sup>
posed heirs of the testator, TO assist
them in recovering their share of
this same estate Mr.. Benjamin, IN
a letter which he kindly forwarded
to New Orleans paper for pubica-
ton, shows up the method of proce-
dure of these imposters. He says:
1.-THE usual mode ofproceeding
adopted is to propose to undertake
the business free of expense, the pro
poser to receive only share of what
may be recovered. This seems 80
reasonable that ia most cases the
dupe readily swallows the bait. A
short time afterward he is informed
that all inquiries and researches have
resulted favorably. and that nothing
is wanted to insure success except
the cost ola few copies OF records and
others papers, and that the proposer,
hGNihS niiCauJ IicutiCu SicAt cA~
pense in conducting the necessary in
quiries and researches. is left without
resources at the very moment when
a few pounds would suffice to secure
the fruits of his labor. Many are the
victims from whom sums, varying
from e20 to $500, have been thus ex
tracted and tho number of persons
engaged in this system must be very
great, and the sums received by them
very considerable, if at all in proper
ton to the number of letters receiv.
ed here on the subject
He also reminds those whose claims
are to landed estates that no alien
can inherit land in England, or even
take it by will and, further, that
as land there always descends to the
eldest son, no title derived through
a younger brother can be good in
any event.

~ The Tribune'S dispatch says a
general order making further assign
ments of prominent army officers will
soon be issued. General Thomas
goes to the Division Of the Pacific,
headquarters at San Francisco; Gen
eral Sheridan to the Division of the
Mississippi, headquarters probably at
st. Louis and General Schofeld to
the Department OF the Missouri, head
quarters at Fort Leav eli worth. Gen
Halleck is To be ordered East to The
Division of the South, not yet organ
lied. General Augur remains in
command of the Department OF the
Platte. General Hancock goes to
the Department of Dakota, General
Pope TO the Department of the Lakes.
General Lacy will command in Geor-
gia and the Carolinas. General
Stonemah goes 10 Arizona. The as
segment gives general satisfaction
The Posts correspondent says it is
now improbable that den. Sheridan
will go to New Orleans, as be has
been in continuous service ever since
the beginning of the late war, and
will now, probably, be granted leave
Of absence for some time. at his own
request. 1t is believed in militia cir,
cles that General Howard will be
sent to command the 9Th District, at
New Orleans. since Sheridan does not
care about assuming his old COM
mand.
