DEs MONIES, Jan. 9-What appears TO
be serious conflict Of Jurisdiction has arisen between
the State Supreme Court and the u g. Circuit for thi
District Several years ago many Of the counties Of the
State subscribed to the stock Of railroad companies and
issued bonds and coupons for the purpose aiding in the
construction of said roads The Supreme Court decided
that bonds Of the character OF those issued void and
that contracts Of that kind unauthorized and forbid
den by the Constitution OF the State aud therefore,
be enforced by the counties Of the State To this end
1t has therefore issued perpetual Injunction restraining
payment Of the bonds On the other hand tho Ped
era courts hold them to be valid contracts and seek "a
enforce their payment and TO this end has issued several
hundred wrt OF andamus and writs Of attachment for
contempt against the Boards OF Supervisors OF the yar
counties involved In the controversy The real ques
ton therefore, is OF construction OF the laws aud

Mr.. Brady, of the Stamping Depart

States treasures. The bills are certain

thrown upon the New York market.
Al first glance they SEEM 10 be perfect

the printing seems to have been done
from the original plste. But Mr.. Brady
has discovered points invaluable 10

the counterfeit aud the marching IF the

But an infaiiible mark of distraction
is found under the lett wing of the
eagle. In the genuine notes are four
distinct rows of feathers under the
wing. In the e"unterfeits these rows OF
figures are uud- fined, aud this seems to
be the only weak spot In the whole en-

The dots after the initials of Spinner

Of the note. Some of the cnuoter.e'ts

MEnrHrs, August 6.-With the exception
of the disturbances at Moscow there has
been no violence at the election in West
Tennessee. TIE Democratic press here, in
announcing victory, urged the supporters
of Mr.. Senter to exhibit charity in his hour
of triumph and forget the wrongs that have
been inflicted.

baggers are preparing to leave, and urges
them to remain, assuring them Of safely.

Making allowance for Stokes probable
majority in East Tennessee, Sen'er has
carried the State By 20 900 or 80 600.
The Conservative Legislative tickets

One year ago, we were making no pro-

Debt. had made none for months, and
were likely to make none for months to

Copperhead Free Trade statistician, had
recently put forth manifesto, at the
solicitation and with the emphatic in
dorsement of Messrs. Wilson G. Hunt,
Henry Grinnell l. Co., showing by elab-
crate computations and marshaling of
long columns of figures, that there would
be Treasury deficit of Sl75 900, 900 on
the first day of this present July. And
AS nothing but Reoel victory ever ex-
hilsrared the Sham Democracy like
prospect of National Bankruptcy, the
World bad surrendered many columns
to Delmar's exhibit. aud the Democratic
press had everywhere hailed il with ex-
ultation as sure prmoni'ion OF future
of national distress, discredit and blu
initiation.

rule of Andrew Johnson. The whole
