NOT A CANDIDATE.

1t was stated in the Washington
dispatches q few days ago, that Mr.,
D. M. Leatherman, of Memphis,
was a candidate for Governor. How
the rumor originated there is not
stated. Mr.. Leatherman, in card
in the Memphis ledger, defines his
position as follows:
81 am not a candidate for Governor,
of any party, and shall not be- SO. for l
belong to no party. l was Union man
during the war, and am still the same
in the sense and meaning then under>
stood it. If being the friend Of a true
and just government, controlled by in
tellgence and virtue, makes me par
tisan, then | am one, and uncOmpromis
ingly so.
Having no ambition or aspiration for
office Of any kind, and not being willing
TO seek the same as political candidate,
l thus write you; but do confess it
would give me great pleasure if l could
be instrumental i'll lifting burden from
an oppressed people too great to be en-
dured. am identified with Tennessee /;
it has been and will be my home, and
whatever may be its destiny, prosperity
or oppression, a part in common. with
you will be mine. Those that l have
loved rest within its borders; and if
those of my friends who claim that the
next Governor should be from West
Tennessee, and others entertaining Vicws
here alluded to, deem it of interest and
importance, they can use my name"

ST0KES ANN SENTFR.

The Press and Times, under its
now management, came out for
Stokes for Governor the other day.
We judge this rather unusual course
for a metropolitan organ of polit-
ical party has stirred up something
more than a breeze, for the Press
and Times says in its issue of yes
terday:
"The supporters of Gov Senter, who
are disposed to criticise us harshly for
our course, relative to the rivalship Of
this gentleman and Hon. W. L. Stokes,
should remember that we are as much
entitled to our opinions, and have the
same liberty ofexpressing them, as they.
Rather spunky that. The Press
and Times repeats that it supports
Stokes and opposes Senter "with a
sole view to the success of the Re
publican ticket That is TO say,
that paper believes Stokes can be
elected but it is doubtful whether
Senter could, although there is not
the slightest probability that there
will be q Democratic candidate in
the field.

chartered by a Cuban, and con-
tanning war material and carrying
about three hundred men, sailed
from New York on the 4th inst.
Her clearance papers showed that
her destination was Jamaica or
some peaceful port, and that
the prohibition relating to arms,
etc., had been erased, as had
frequently been done before, with
the knowledge of the Spanish Con-
sui at New York, to whom cases of
like character have heretofore been
referred ythe Customs authorities.
1t is stated that the officer in New
York who made the report to the
State Department seems to have
little doubt that the Perot's men
and cargo are destined for the island
Of Cuba. 1t is thus that expedi~
tions are getting off to Cuba, with
the connivance, it appears almost
certain, of the government officials.
Whether these expeditions will be
of sufficient magnitude in the ag-
gregate to be of material service to
the Cuban insurgents, cannot easily
be determined now.

WHAT Is OUR GOVERNMENT DOING
ABOUT CUBA?

We have very contradictory re-
ports from Washington touching
the sailing of expeditions to aid the
insurgents in Cuba, and the course
the government has determined to
pursue in regard to the matter. 1t
has been stated that the govern
ment had no knowledge Of the sail
ing of any expeditions, and now it
is telegraphed from Washington
that the Spanish Minister has re-
peatedly, within the last two months,
reported to the Secretary of State
that expeditions were fitting out in
this country for the Cuban service,
but did not produce proofs. The See
rotary, however, directed Inquiries
to be made North and South, when
it was ascertained there was no
facts upon which TO found pro-
ceedings. 1t is stated that the
Spanish Minister has repeatedly
urged the government to issue a
proclamation of neutrality, but
that it has uniformly declined to do
so unless better reasons for su ch a
course should present themselves
than have existed or now exist. A
very long letter from the Spanish
Minister vas recently addressed to
the Secretary of State on that sub
ject, urging "A proclamation, and
citing presidents in support of his
request. The proclamation of
President Fillmore, issued during
the Cuban troubles in 1850 OF 1851,
being especially urged as applicable
TO the present case. Secretary Fish
replied to the communication,
pointing out the important differ
ence in the cases, and showing that
the government had promptly sup
pressed, through the Customs or
Navy Department, all expeditions
attempted to be fitted out in several
of the Southern ports and else
where, and that proper precaution
had been taken to prevent re-
cruiting or the fitting out of future
expeditions. The administration
does not think 1t advisable to dis
turb the peace and en1bar1fass the
commerce and business Df the
country by such a proclamation,
unless the strongest reasons exist
for such a course, which at present
arc not apparent. 1t is very evil
dent that the administration will
issue no such proclamation, unless
forced into the meas ure; ana there
is an evident desire on the part OF
the authorities st Washington to
know nothing of the sailing expe-
ditions 6r Cuba. 1t is stated very
positively that the steamef Perot,

AUTHORIZATION BY MIR. WILCOX

Mr.. NJ. c. Wilcox publishes a
card in the Knoxville Wing in eX-
PLANTATION of his having State bonds
belonging to the school fund of
Knox county. He says:
81 have not doomed it necessary 10
answer any Of the articles appearing il
the press regarding my unfortunate loss.
Il never stated TO any person, or even
intimated that | received State bonds
from the Comptroller or any State officer
as school funds.
"The school fund aPportiOnmentsa are
drawn from the State by civil districts.
Those districts have from two to six
schools each. No apportionment belong
ing to one sub-district, can properly be
used in the payment OF the claims OF an
other, and it is the duty of the Superln-
tendent to keep these funds separate.
Where much time would intervene be-
tween the drawing for a cigil district and
the close Of portion Of its sub district
schools it has been my custom 10 place
the funds belonging to sub~1istricts, whose
schools were not completed in State
bonds for safety, converting them into
currency as fast as demanded by the
schools. This was the case with the
bonds in question.
Il deemed this to be the safest and
most advantageous course. may add
here that had any injury Overtaken any
of said bonds, had they, instead Of the
money, been lost by robbery, or had any
depreciation occurred in their value, my
responsibility would have been the same,

and my announcement in this paper of
my readiness to complete the disburseN
ment of the spportiOnment of 1867 to
teachers as fast as their orders are pre-
sentedF

teachers and boards of directors of
Knox county, and is as follows
al have made arrangements BY which
/ am enabled to pay the apportionment
Of 1867, Notwithstanding my recent
heavy loss. ~
"For the accommodation Of those who
are teaching at the present time, viii
appoint Saturday Of each week for the
settlement Of their accounts"
The Knoxville Wing states that
Mr.. Wilcox paid out to the teachers
of Knox county nearly two thous
sand dollars during the past week.
This is creditable to Mr.. Wilcox, as
is the announcement that the
teachers will be paid the apportion-
ment of 1867 in full as their ac-
counts are presented. There is a
statement in the card of Mr.. Viii
cox to which we wish to direct at
tention. He says it has been his
habit in certain contingencies to in
vest "the funds belonging to sub
districts, whose schools were not
completed, in State bonds for
safety, converting them into cur
rency as fast as demanded by the
schools" We should like to know
where he gets the authority for this
disposition of the school fund.- The
money collected for school purposes
is in greenbacks, and is turned
over to the county superintendent
in that currency, and it is not sub
jeet to the fluctuations that State
bonds are. Mr.. Wilcox states
that in case of the loss or
depreciation of State bonds, he
would have to make good
the amount invested, but he says
nothing as to the profits of such
investments in case Of the appreci-
alton of such bonds. The whole
thing looks like a little speculation
on the part of Mr.. Wilcox to "turn
an honest penny" There is not
the slightest necessity on the score
of safety for the investment of
school moneys in State bonds or
any other description of bonds.
With a number of solvent and re-
liable banks in Knoxville, Mr.. Will
cox need not have put himself to
the trouble of investing such
/ moneys in State bonds, even il
there was any authority for such
investment, and then mourning
the expense of going to New
York to sell the bonds. The
banks would have kept the school
moneys safely for the county
superintendent, and have promptly
paid his checks to the teach
ers. The investment of the
school moneys in State bonds
on the score of safety is, there
fore, only a subterfuge to cover
up the real purpose. There is not
the semblance of authority in the
law for this proceeding. On the
contrary, the law presumes that
the moneys turned over to the
county superintendent will be held
subject to paying the county teach-
ers at such times as it may be due
them. We repeat, there is not the
semblance Of authority in the law
for the disposition Mr.. Wilcox says
it has been his custom to make 81
the school moneys coming into his
hands. It's an unwarrantable use
of the money belonging to the chill
dren of Knox county, and the State
superintendent should see that Mr..
Wilcox nor any other county su-
perintendent is engaged in this or
any other speculation with moneys
belonging to the school fund.

Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-05-11

WHEN the Spanish Minister re-
ports the sailing Of expeditions to
aid the Cuban rebels, he is quietly
informed that the proper officers
have been instructed to exercise
due vigilance to prevent the viola-
tion of the neutrality laws, which
the government assures him will be
enforced. That seems to be a very
convenient dodge.
