WASHINGTON, June %.
Tennessee Politics.
The Presidents views on the political
situation in Tennessee will possibly be
indicated in the appointment Of q Rev
enue Supervisor for that State il the
place of Major Noah, who resigned on
Friday. The Ssnter party out there Is
for the immediate enfranchisement of
all disenfranchised citizens, while the
Stokes party is for gradual anfranchise-
ment. BrOwnlowfgw with senter, and SO
are most of the Democrats. Both par
ties are trying to get the influence of the
administration, and the situation of
things cut there has been talked over in
the Cabinet. The fear of some persons
is thatthe success of Senter at present
Wilfresult in throwing good part of
the State into the hands of the Demo
Gratis, and the election of A. J. to the
Senate again. The new Revenue su-
peryisor is to be selected, not by the
Commissioners, but by the Secretary
of the Treasury, probably after consul
tation with the President.
The Pablo Debt Statement

close up the accounts of the year, but

the first of next month, az usual. 1t

six millions.
The Printers
Who are opposed to the admission Of
the colored man Douglass into the Typo
graphical Union held another meeting
Saturday night, and adopted and signed
an address to the President of the Ma
tional Union, reciting their grievances,
and begging his interference, even to
the extent of revoking the charter of
the Washington Union. If he should
do this, they would apply for a new
charter.
The Cuban EmbassadOr.
Senior Lemus, the Cuban envoy, is
still in this city. If he ever intended
asking official presentation to President
Grant, he has probably learned that he
cannot get an interview, for the reason
that he is under indictment and at large
On bail. Caleb Cushing's legal advice
probably had something to do with
inducing the Spanish Minister to begin
proceedings against the Cuban leaders
in this country Senior Lemus processes
to believe that everything is going on
welljn Cuba.

1t has been officially announced by {
the British Minister at the Capitol that Z

and promise to render practical aid to
the cause. The Cubans in this city ex-
press mach satisfaction. They state
that Government agent will be sent to
ascertain the strength and prospects of
the revolutionists. If he report favOra-
bly, the belligerent right of the Cubans
will be recognized by our Government.
Accounts from Cuba state that the
cholera is very fatal among the Spanish
troops who are suffering for medicines
and for their communication, being cut
off by the Patriots. Reinforcements
have been driven back with heavy loss.
The town of Palmedes has been cap

provisions and arms. An expedition of
Coo have been safely landed at Nueras

The Cubans are in fine spirits and health,
occupying high lands.
