took an unusually lively and active
interest in behalf of Rutter and
his bank. 1t may be proper
to state in elucidation Of the
extract from Arnell's Columbia
letter of Oct. II, 1866, that Parham,
who was Rutter's paid lobby agent,
stated in reply to a question from
the committee as to "what infiu-
ences were brought to bear upon
members" to secure their co opera
ton in the passage of the bill under
authority of which the Treasurer
acted, stated that "they made
promises to many members offering
to discount their notes or lend them
money as they might need it." In
the face of these damning evidences
Of the part Arnell, Mullins and
Num- played and the douceur they
received, it will require something
more than their unsupported denial
to convince the people of Tennes.
see they are the innocents they rep.
resent themselves.

BROwNLOW AND THE SCHOOL
FUND INVESTIGATION.

The investigation Of the School
Fund embroglio is still in progress.
We learn that the Special Commit
tee were engaged yesterday with
witnesses relative to the letter al
luded to in this paper yesterday,
said to have been addressed by Col.
Jno. Il. Browulow to George r.
Rutter.
The letter is in the hands Of the
committee.
At late hour, and after the
above was in type, We received the
manuscript Of a card from Col
Brownlow which will be found in
another column. We have no dis
position to interfere with the work
Of the committee, or TO give undue
coloring to any evidence that may
be brought before IT, When
the committee make its re
port, and is finally discharged
We shall be better prepared 10 ana
I'VE the testimony taken by it, and
arrive at q Just conclusion as to the
real parties who have been engaged
in what nowappears to be a stupen-
dous and unmiti-atcd swindle We
would be rs careful to avoid i'm
proper censure Us topLacc themei

brows Of the guilty. While SIN
cerely wishing, for the honor of our
State, that the Governor and his
sons may be cXonerated from any
completely in the disappearance Of
the School Fund, we are sure that
the readers of the UNION AND
AMERICAN would never suspect ms
Of applying to either the father or
the son for its standard Of Journal

A WASHINGTON dispatch Of Fri
day says that the list of Represen-
tatives Of the House for the forty
first Congress, to be called March
4th, includes eighty-one new mem
bers. Two Democrats Leftwich
and Sheafe, elected in Tennessee,
are not On the list, and their names
viii not be called. The Radical
whom Col Switzler defeated in
Missouri will take his seat, and that
gentleman will have to contest ii
again. There is a vacancy in the
Pennsylvania district now repre-
scented by John Covode, the Demo
crat who opposed and beat him fail

Gov. Geary's sharp practice. Gen.

A SENATORIAL SWINDLE.

And still the tide Of peculation
sweeps on. Mack writes thus of
one of the latest developments
Within the past week there has been
in the Senate a partial airing Of another
of those choice little swindling schemes
for which that virtuous body has, Of late,
become noted. allude to what is known
a. the McGarahan claim, in which, at
least, three of the Pacific Coast Senators
seem tc have dipped shoulder deep in
corruption McGarhan, it seems, claimed
to be the owner Of tract of mining land
which has recently developed into great
value, yielding about S50000per month
By some hook or crook mining compar
ny got possession of this land, and began
to work it McGarhan appealed to
Congress with a plain case in his favor,
but the mining company being rich, and
well able to "lobby," has been able to
keep him out of his property. The point
is, that three or four of the Pacific Coast
Senators has acted in the matter so as to
incur the suspicion that they were the
agents Of the company, as against Me-
Carahan. This is putting it mildly. If
| was not Of a reverential turn Of mind,
and impressed with strong belief in the
incOrruptibility of Senators, | would say
that it was fragrant case of bribery, for
which three or four gentleman ought to
be transferred from the Senate to the
Penitentiary. There is hope that it will
yet be ventilated. 1t is worth while to
have it done, merely to show what honest
fellows the people Of the Pacific Coast se-
lect for Radical Senators. One Of the
Senator's implicated in the transaction is
the same who recently reported against
the admission of Georgia to the right of
representation on the ground of the pre-
yalehce Of crime in that State. He is
now engaged as busily as he can be in at
tempting to whitewash what looks very
much like one of his own crimes Take
it for all in all, the Senate Of the United
States is a queer representation of ma
tional probity and national intelligence.
1t is only few weeks since one of its
Radical members was expelled, for the
fourth time, from a temperance society
another has recently been shown to be
deep in half dezen land swindlers. |
could name a dozen who have become
milIionaires under very suspicious cir~
cumstances; and now comes another cor
ruption, smelling quite as strong as any
of its predecessors. But they are loyal
men all and he who says a word against
one of them is "copperhead' and a
traitor so I'd better say no more about
It, but pass to another topic.

THE TENNESSEE CHAIR FACTORY.

THE TENNESSEE CHAIR FACTORY.
This establishment, under the
proprietorship and direction of
Messrs. Taylor, Barry & Vedder,
late of Rochester, New York, has
commenced work under most fat
terins auspices. 1t is conducted in
the large and eligible property on
the river bank in North Nashville.
These gentlemen are possessed of
ample capital, and have an expert
ence of twenty years in the bust
ness. The factory is supplied with
improved machinery which will be
added to as the demand requires it.
They have selected Nashville on
account Of the extent, variety and
cheapness of material used, and its
convenience to market. Their ex-
pertinent thus far justifes them in
placing frst-class wares before the
public at prices considerable per
cent. lower than those from the
manufactures which have hitherto
supplied this section of the country.
This is an enterprise which de-
mands general encouragement, and
will doubtless receive it. 1t lays
the foundation for a large and
lucrative trade.
Messrs. 7. B. & V. are such men
as this community needs, and their
advent among us is welcomed by
every citizen who appreciates prop
erly the interests of the city.
In this connection, we may say
also, that Messrs. Rich & Kreig Of
this city are engaged in the manu-
facture of chairs, and these two
establishments are competent to
furnish a supply sufficient for the
region south of this city, and they
are able to defy competition both
in the quality of their goods and in
nricag

TWO QUERIES.

The Memphis appeal asks
" Why does not Rutter tell the
Legislature the history Of the por-
trait now adjoining the walls Of the
House of Representatives? Why
does he not give up those letters
from the Commander in Chief Of
the Tennessee militia, III which he
is denominated that individual 5
dear friend, and thanked, III fer
vid if not eloquent terms, for 'cs-
teemed favors 2 Answers TO these
questions are, We believe, necessary
to q full solution of the School
Fund problem"

A PUBLIC OFFICEK PTLLORIED.

The editor of the Memphis Post,
who is Superintendent of Public
Instruction, has been pilloried by
the testimony elected by the in
vestigating committee of the Legis-
lature. For wonder, he does not
put on a brazen face and deny the
part he played in this shameful
game of robbing the little children
of the State. He squirms in his
paper of the 4th inst. after the fol-
lowing fashion:
"The appeal of this morning says
{ In fact, Rutter promised that all the
Radical leaders, including the sanetimo.
NOUS John, (Eaton) Jr.-he of the School
Board-should t"smell heIl."' This ami
mus will explain Rutter's testimony at
Nashville, over which the rebel press is
in such glee. Several attempts have
been made to blacken the names of the
editors of this paper, which, when fol-
lowed up, simply showed the black
ness of the malice which prompted
and concocted the charges. All
that is asked in this case is that the mat
ter be probed to the bottom and the
whole truth told Nothing was known
at this Office &C tne school fund in the
Tennessee National Bank until it had
been there several months. We presume
that not dozen persons in the State were
cognizant of such deposit at the time.
Even Mr. Parham, the confidential agent
of Rutter, who is understood to have
made similar threats to that above, swears
that he knows nothing of any designs in
regard to this fund"
Whenever a Radical gets into an
ugly scrape he is in the habit Of
crying out, "Rebel )" the Rebel
press is in high glee," for the pur,
pose of creating the impression that
he is prosecuted. But that little
game has played out" These
''school fund" developments are toe
rank, too outrageous to be 'laid'
by the old Radical cry of distress
This is too serious matter
to BE- smothered over by the talk
Of malice. Parham testified that
Eaton told him that he "was in
the employ of Mr.. Rutter to secure
the passage of the bill'' by which
the Tennessee National Bank of
Memphis got hold of the school
fund, and that he and Eaton "con-
suited together frequently" Then
there are Eaton's letters to Rutter,
now in the hands Of the committee,
begging the latter to see that "the
notes in the Tennessee National
Bank are not got hold Of so as to
break us" With these terrible
revelations before him, he could
not put on a cheek Of brass, as did
Arnell and Mullins and Num-, and
deny his part in this affair, which
is without a parallel in the corrup-
tons Of modern times. And this
man, with this brand Of infamy up
on his forehead, is the Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction.

New YORK CITY is threatened
with the vigilance COMMITTEES scenes
of San Francisco a few years ago.
Crime is running riot in that city
and the civil authorities appear
powerless or unwilling to check the
turbulent spirits in their mad ca
reer. 1t is reported that a secret
meeting was held in that city on the
night of the 4th inst. for the estab-
lishment of a vigilance committee.
A number of wealthy men are said
to have become members, and to
have promised large accessions TO
the organization from the best citi
zens in the community.

THE New York Tribune declares
the Freedmen's Bureau is expensive

the Tribune takes courage and

mated.

TIE Confederate loan is again
looming up in London. The mails
by the steamer Russia at New York
on the 9Th inst, brought the news
that on the London Stock Exchange
there was a revived demand for the
Confederate loan, which was quoted
at 9 pounds 10 shillings. The idea
that some recognition of these bonds
may be given by the Anglo Amer
lean commission has brought about
this renewed speculation.

WHO SPEAKS NEXT2

Inc NlnClhilaJl COHtmefctut OF
the 9th, inst, publishes the follow
ing dispatch
WASHINGTON, ID. c, February /, 1869
To the Editor of the Commercial Gin
cinnati Ohio. The implication Of your
Nashville correspondence, in yesterday 5
Commercial, to our discredit, concerning
the Tennessee School Fund, is denied in
letter and spirit, and without quallifica,
ton SAMUEL NJ. ARNELL,
JAMES MULLINS,
DAVID A. MUM.
When Mr.. Rutter, the President
of the Tennessee National Bank of
Memphis was before the investiga-
ting committee of the Legislature,
lie was asked what, persons re-
ceived money from him in connec-
ton with the passage of the bill to
manipulate the affairs" Of his bank.
He replied that some of them were
Messrs. Arnell, Mullins and Num-.
Letters from Arnell and Mullins
were shown to him by the commit
tee, and he said they were genuine.
A letter from S. NJ Arnell, dated at
Columbia, Tenn, Oct. II, 1866,
contains the following
"How much thank you for your ac-
commOdation and kindness and the
wholesouled manner in which it was ex~
tended, you can never know. | have
mentioned it to my influential friends,
who are your friends and ready with me
to serve You at any hour and in any
cause. The name of the gentleman on
the inclOsed note is a man of property,
both personal and real, and is certainly
worth thirty thousand dollars.
The report of the committee also
embraces kilograms from Washing
ton addressed by Arnell to Sena-
tors Fuson and Senter urging them
to sustain the interest of Rutter's
bank as the financial friend Of the
State. The committee also have a
letter from Mullins to Gov. Brown
low, dated at Washington, Dec. 4,
1867, advising a compromise on the
part Of the State with Rutter.
The committee have a letter from
Num-, dated Nashville, March 6,
1867, praising the labors Of "our
mutual friend Parham," who was
here doing his utmost to prevent
the exposure which was then i'm
pending of the manner in which the
school fund had been used. Now
do these letters and dispatches show
that these Radical Tennessee Con-
gressmen are the innocent souls
they would have the world believe
they are by their dispatch to the
Cincinnati Commercial? Rutter
swears positively that Arnell, Null
Inns and Num- were among the per
sons who received money from him
to secure the passage of the bill
which gave Treasurer Stanford the
authority upon which he acted in
placing the school fund" in the
Tennessee National Bank of Mem
phis. The letters and dispatches
from these parties in the possession
Of the committee, show that they
