COUNTERFEIT TEN DOLLAR NorEs:-Ths
new counterfeit ten dollar bills, which
have created so great an exciteme1t
among bankers and United States treas;
urers, it is said are the finest executed
counterfeits ever thrown upon the com;
munity. A description Of the counterfeit
from Washington says: At first glance
they seem to be perfect imitation Of the
$40 greenback, and the printing seems to
have been done from the original plate,
but there are points of difference which
are thus noted: In the original shading
around the 10 in the medallion appears
like fine network, and runs close up to
the figures. In the counterfeit note this
shading is "picked up" and becomes
coarse as it reaches the figures, forming a
light streak or circular haze similar to
that about the moon before rain. There
is no haze in the genuine note. This is a
slight point for detection. A clearer one
is the fact that in the original notes, with;
in the light circle running under the fig
ures 10, there are three and third dots
on the left of the figure one. In the coun-
terfeit bill the one-third dot is missing:
But an infallibe mark OF distinction is
found under the left wing Of the eagle:
In the genuine notes are found distinct
rows of feathers under the wing. In the
counterfeit these rows of feathers are un-
defned, and this seems to be tie only
weak point in the whole engraving.

THE LATE TROUBLES IN RUTHER-
FORD COUNTY

We print this morning a state
ment in regard to the origin and
character of the late disturbances
in Rutherford county, from
thoroughly reliable gentleman who
has taken the pains to investigate
the matter, and his conviction is
that the negroes were the agrees
ors, and that they provoked what
ever Of punishment was inflicted
upon them. He very properly con-
dennis the taking of the law in
their own hands by the citizens, and
redressing whatever wrongs they
may bave had to complain of. From
another and reliable source, we have
a confederation of the statement of
our correspondent. On Friday night
a party of ten negroes fired upon a
young man by the name of Smith
as he was quietly passing along the
road, and killed his horse. Seven
of these negroes have been arrested
aud are now confined in the jail at
Murireesboro. Some of them have
turned States evidence, and report
that 'loyal" white men have told
them that unless they (the negroes
did something to attract the atten~
ton of the general government,
the "Rebels" would get in power,
and then they would be remanded
to slavery. 1t thus appears that the
fears oftheSe poor, silly negroes have
been worked upon by wicked white
men. This matter should be thor
oughly sitted, and if the men who
have been stirring up the bad blood
of the negroes can be found, they
should be punished by long term
in the penitentiary. These ennis
saries who are going about stirring
up strife between the races that
political party may gain advantage
therefrom, deserve the severest pun
ishment, and every citizen should
aid in Kidding the community of
sucb characters.

Well and truly said.

THE Washington correspondent
of the Louisville Courier Journal
reports the following amusing cpl
sode which occurred at the White
House on Wednesday:
There was quite an amusing scene at
the White Honse to-day. Among the
callers were Stokes and Col. BroWnlow,
son Of the old Governor, and the former
bitter political enemy. Singular to say,
the President admitted them both at once
to an audience. Stokes looked daggers at
Brownlow, and the latter looked defiance
at Stokes. Finally their embarrassment
wss discovered and esch had a separate
interview, both declaring to the President
that they supported his administration,
but each finding himself, as they afterWard
expressed themselves, unable to learn
which Of the two parties in Tennessee
Grant countenauced. All that could be
made out Of him was disposition to sup
mort both"

the illegal voters Of the State, and
that he would assemble the men
who had run on his ticket for men,
bers of the Legislature, take pos
session of the capitol as the Gov
ernor and Legislature, and then
leave it to the Grant adminlstra-
ton and Congress to determine
who should be regarded ana
treated as the legal government OF
the State. This was thrown OUT
either as feeler or menace, Dut
it is significant that Stokes never
disayowed or denounced this Wlio
and revolu tionary scheme There
is reason to believe he rather liked
it, and that he went to Washington
big with the idea of taking posses"
sion of the State government in the
manner indicated. There is little
doubt that in going to Washington
he contemplated invoking the direct
interference by the general govern
ment in the purely domestic affairs
of this State, and he felt sanguine,
from the tone of Boutwells letter
and Creswell's dispatch, that he
would secure it. He knew very
we'll that the administration nor
Congress had no more lawful right
to reduce Tennessee to a mill
tary satrapy than New York or
Pennsylvania. But experience had
taught him that the absence of laws
full right to do thing is no impedi-
ment whatever to the doing of it in
the estimation of the dominant par
ty. The question of expediency
alone was, therefore, to be demon
strated to Grant and his cabinet, in
order to secure their cooperation.
For this purpose Stokes hied to
Washington, and there is reason to
believe that, as intimated by the
Gazette's correspondent, he breach
ed this wild and revolutionary
scheme, in his interviews with the
President and his cabinet. 1t is
something to the credit of Grant
that he is decidedly opposed to
Stokes project of setting aside the
legal government in this State.
There appears to be little doubt
that, maddened by his defeat, he be-
came desperate and sought to have
this people turned over to the tender
mercies of military satrap, if he
could not be recognized as Gov
ernor.
The Louisville Courier-J Journals
Washington correspondent tele-
graphs under date of Sept. L:
==SGovernor Senter, Of Tennessee, arrived
here again to-day, and saw the President.
Judging from his conversation he will
call the old Tennessee Legislature together
10 ratify the fifteenth amendment. He
fayors the amendment, and claims 10 be a
supporter of the administration. lndeed
in this respect he seems TO stand In the
same position as Gov. Walker, of Virginia.
Senter is on his way TO Tennessee, and
says be is determined to take measures to
suppress disorders in certEin portions and
to back up his recent proclamation"
This differs very materially from
the version Of Gov. Senter's inten-
ton given by the Cincinnati Ga
zette's Washington correspondent.
He says that in the interview ber
tween Senter and Grant in New
York, the former expressed a pre-
ference for submitting the question
to the new Legislature. He was
opposed to calling the old Legisla
ture together "on account of the
legal questions which would arise
regarding its right to act" We
trust this correspondent expresses
Gov. Senter's views on this delicate
question.

The Washington correspondent

IN Stokes movements as the zorro

the following statement under date
Of Angus. 81:

offense of these men and continue
