A SCATHING REPLY.

Horace Greeley, over his own initials,
has been clamoring through the columns of
the New York Tribune about election
frauds and the purity of the ballot-box. A
writer in the Express meets the philosopher
more than half way, and thus kindly ex-
poses the hypocrisy of his professions
''And how stands the record to-day? Is
the country more pure, more prosperous,
more happy through the triumph of your
political principles, than when it was gov
erned by the recognition of those of your
opponents? Or are the election frauds
said by your partisans to be perpetrated in
New York the greatest evil by which this
country is afflicted? You commenced
your career as the friend of cap
ital, the advocate of protection, and
the apOlogst of central power;
you have lived to see our govern
ment converted, through a perfect carni-
val of blood, and by your agency, into a
vast national banking institution; its func-
tions disordered and unhealthy; its limbs
crippled, its spirit broken, and its useful
ness almost destroyed Your point to pal
try election frauds in the city of New York,
when throughout the length and breadth
of the land political combinations are made
and perfected by money; public virtue, po-
htieal emolument, and individual rights
are subjects of bargain and sale, and every
qualification that can make our institutions
successful is thrown upon the mart. am
ready to go as far as you in the opinion that
a despotic is preferable to an elective sys-
tenn Of government perverted from its pur-
pose by the action of Legitimate causes;
but fail to see that a merely local COM
plant, if such exists, is of more conse-
quence than a malignant malady which per-
vades the entire body polite, and is de-
stroying the very foundations of society.
These results, Mr.. Greeley, are in great
part due to your past exertions.

COLLISION.
RanrOad Accident near KnoxvirIe.


RailrOad Accident near Knoxville.
A collision occurred on Tuesday on the
East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, says
the Knoxville Why, about four miles from
Knoxville, resulting in the damage of q
passenger coach and engine. The pas
senger train left the depot at Ills and a
freight train Immediately afterward, the
latter having instructions to run at the
usual rate of speed for freight trains, which
was done.
After getting short distance from the
city, the engineer of the passenger train
stopped in order to allow crank pin to
cool, and unfortunately on a rather short
curve. The freight coming up was unable
to stop, though the engineer blew down
brakes" and reversed his locomotive, but
the momentum was too great and collision
was the result, fortunately causing no in
jury to life or limb, though there might
have been, and it is miracle such was not
the case.
The fireman on the freight train, W. T.
French, seeing collision was inevitable,
leaped from his engine and received several
severe bruises and cuts on the head. He
was the only one hurt. His wounds were
attended to promptly by a surgeon on
board the train, and though pretty badly
hurt, yet was able to be out
The passenger train was thrown eonsid-
erably behind time and it was doubted
whether it would be able to make the con-
nection at Bristol
Since writing the above we learn that
Judge John Trimble received a slight in
jury-one NIB being fractured. He is now
at the Atkin House. The Judge was on
his way to Washington city in company
with Col. T. w. Cole and Messrs. Ewing
and Cooper, to attend the case of the
Tennessee railroads.

GAUCERS AT FAULT.

Commissioner Delano has discovered
that officers of his bureau engaged IN the
business of gauging spirits are inattentiye in
their duty, and thereby put honest distlliers
to great inconvenience and loss, when their
liquors are seized by the government, be-
cause the spirits do not show the proof
indicated by the marks on the barrels. In
stead of gauging every barrel, the gauger
not unfrequently gauges only one out OF
large number, and thenmarks on all the bar
rels what those proofs will average, which
may not be the proof of any one barrel;
and all will be liable to seizure. large
quantity of spirits arriving at Baitl-
more has been found to disagree in proof
with the marks. This may be traced back
to the careless gauging above described.
This carelessness exists to greater extent IN
the West, and especially in Illinois. In
this State they draw, as proof, from pint
to quart, and this they confscate until
they get a barrel, and then sell it and peck
ct the proceeds. An order will be issued
by the Commissioner, covering all these
cases

BANK OF TENNESSEE.
Liabilities of States Guaranteeing
Bank Circulation.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The following
important opinion was delivered to-day
in the Supreme Court of the United
States:
No. I06-Furman Green ct a., plain
tiffs in error, u.s. The Clerk of Davidson
county, Tenn.-Error to the Supreme
Court of Tennessee-This cause was ar
gued at the last session of the court. In
1888 the Legislature of Tennessee crea-
ated the State Bank of Tennessee, and
provided that its issues should be received
in payment of taxes, also guaranteeing its
circulation. BY an act of the reconstruct
ed Legislature of 1865 this act of 1888
was repealed so far as the guarantee of
the State was concerned. In August,
1866, the plaintiffs in error applied to the
County Clerk for the license required by
law to sell goods as to wholesale mer
chants, and rendered the bills of this bank
ISSUED prior to May 6, 1861, before Sc
cessiOn, in payment. The clerk refused
the license on the ground that the bills
were not at par Application was made
for a mandamus to compel the clerk to
accent the bills rendered and grant the
license. The writ was refused, and the
cause was brought here under the
judiciary act, it being claimed that the
law of 1883 established a contract between
the State and the citizen, which had been
impaired A question was raised as to
the jurisdiction of the court, which having
been disposed of in favor of the jurisdic-
ton, the opinion proceeded to the merits
of the case, holding that the act of 1888
created a contract which would be enfored
by the courts in proper case. The State
had guaranteed the circulation of the State
bank, and was pledged to receive its bills
for taxes. The bills rendered by the
plaintiffs in error were issued by the bank
prior to the repeating act and before the
rebellion, the effect of which was there
fore not considered. There was no ques-
ton, then, as to the effect of the repeating
act upon them, whatever it might be as to
the bills issued by the bank after the State
had Withdrawn its pledge and guarantee
| by the act of repeal. The money rendered
was such as the State was bound to receive
in good faith to the citizens, and the writ
should therefore issue. The judgment
was reversed, with directions to the court
below to issue the writ. Mr.. Justice Da-
| Wis delivered the opinion.

THE SENATORIAL ELECTION
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
Since the election of Senator Cooper of
Davidson to the Senate of the United
States, by the Legislature, over ex-Presi-
dent johnson, | have taken some pains to
consult the will and views of the people
upon that once important subject, not only
in this, but the adjoining counties, and
give it as my honest and UHpr9udtced
ODiHiOR that two-thirds of the people not
only preferred but confidently expected
the election of Mr. johnson to the United
States Senate, and they are sadly and in
dignantly disappointed at the result. While
| say this it is proper to remark, in this
connection, that no very serious objections
are urged against the Senator elect upon
the score of personal integrity, amiability
of temper, and agreeable and clever man
ners; but they say these are not the only
qualifications and qualities of mind which
Senator in the Congress of the United
States should possess at this important
iuncture of time in our public affairs
That the election of Mr.. Cooper was the
result of combination, none who are fami-
liar with the facts | presume will contradict
1t was positively asserted and admitted by
the opponents of Mr. johnson, in and out
of the Legislature, at the time, that Cooper
was the only man that could defeat John
son. because he could draw off his brother
Edmund Cooper, and some others from the
support of MIR. johnson. The election Of
Cooper was urged and pressed by the OPP
ponents of johnson, not upon the ground
of his ability, but alone upon the score
of his dDdild6ibty.
That the people earnestly deprecate the
defeat of Mr.. johnson, and the election Of
Cooper, 1 need only refer to the public
Journals throughout the State. Nine-tenths
of them, so far as my observation extends
deeply lament and regret that Mr.. johnson
was not returned to the Senate of thu
United States. Mr.. Johnson's election o
the Senate was a national expectation, anc
was demanded by the country, because o
his eminent fitness and ability, and hi
long and eventful experience in the public
service. And what can be said of his lucky
and respectable opponent? regard tn;

ROME.
Work for the EcumenicaI Council.

Work for the Ecumenical Council
LONDON, Nov "A correspondent OF
the Post writes from Rome, concerning
the expected action of the Ecumenical
council: The dogmatic definition OF the
assumption of the Virgin Mary will en-
counter no obstacles. The Pope earnestly
desires the confirmation of this dogma.
TheTTempOral Power.
The erection into dogma of the neces-
sity of the temporal power is not consid-
cred possible by its most ardent champions
The foundation and preservation OF that
power do not afford the elements OF dog
ma, and the belief in its necessity Is not
even pzDrimO fdi, but only of high impor-
lance.
Probably the protests of 1862 and '67,
will be received.
Episcopal Appointments.
1t is suggested that the liberal Bishops
will advance a proposition that terms be
made with the King of Italy, SO that all
appointments, even the Popedom, may be
conferred without the destruction OF ma
tionality; but such a change of policy,
although desirable, is improbable at pres
ent, and must be left to time and the force
of events.
The Syllabus.
The Council does not have the initiative
with respect to the Syllabus. 1t would be
absurd to think that the Syllabus will be
abrogated 1t is more probable that the
Bishops will be asked to sanction it by an
open and unanimous adhesion, and to ex-
plain such portions as are obscurely worded
or enormously interpreted.
Internal Discipline.
Beyond these points the Council will only
be occupied with questions of internal dis
cipline, such as reform missions; the re-
union of schismatics, heretios, with church
notifications of the religious orders the
amelioration of distractions to clergy, and
the adaptation of the Judicial power of
Bishops to the condition of societies
1t is important to observe that the initia-
tionin everything belongs to the Pope alone.
As the Roman Catholic hierarchy is strong
ly and judiciously constituted, it is improb-
able that any serious opposition will be
manifested.
