SENATOR WILSON. of Massachusetts, is a
candidate for reelection. Ben. Butler Is
said to have set his head upon the position
and is working like beaver to defeat VII
son. When the latter was here a few days
ago he manifested spirit Of cancellation
toward the South which his political oppo-
neuts scarcely expected Of him. and eX-
pressed himself as utterly opposed 10 the
policy Of prescription which the administra-
tipu had uaugrmted in Texas and AIissis-
>plj HIS argument was, that because a
ulau vas for Dent in Mississippi or for
Hamilton iu Texas. he was not necessarily
an opponent of either the Republican
party or of the administration Of Prcsi-
dent Grant He was therefore. OPP
posed 10 the wholesale removal Of all
Dent and Hamilton men from Office in their
respective States, hut advocated. rather.
such a course rs would heal all differences
and unite all the opposing clements of the
party. The result of his conference with
the President was that the wholesale slaugh-
ter Of oficc-holders, in Texas especially.
which had just been commenced was tenn
poranly suspended. But doctors differ.
and so do Radical leaders. Gen. Butler
has been there since Senator Wilson left,
and he takes another view of the matter
and goes in strongfor prescription. Spurred
on by Texas Radicals, he urges renewal
Of the oficiatslaughter there, and his ad-
vice has been taken. and the Hamilton Re
publicans in Texas are to share the same
fate that the Sentcr Republicans are meet

THE FINANCES az THE STATE.

The Knoxville Press and H,r1H of the
18th inst contains the following paragraph
1t is a Illuminating fact that at the pres
ent time the Treasurer of the great State of
Tennessee Is unable to pay the smallest war
rant on the State Treasury. SherifTs and
officers OF the law. who are forced to 20 TO
Nashville on official duties. find it impossi-
BILE to get enough funds to pay their ex-
penses. and have 20 borrow money. in
many instances, to defay their necessary
bills. More than this, the Treasurer has
borrowed from banks over -. 900 to pav
small warrants ranging from $40 to 5000.
until he has stretched his credit rs far as
the banks are willing to go. In addition.
there are about $1,000 of outstanding
warrants that cannot be paid for lack of
funds. This indebtednessls all on account
of current expenses. and Is in addition to
the amount of unpaid July interest on the
State bonds and the deficiency on account
of the money borrowed in New York to pay
the last January interest. Somethingmust be
done and that right speedily. to enable the
State to at least pay its running expenses. -
The members of the Legislature will see
from Tins statement the necessity of prompt
action to preserve the credit of the State.
We are within a few weeks Of the time
when the semi-annual interest on the State
debt, amounting to something over 81, 900,
600 ought to be paid, and yet it appears
there is not a dollar in The treasury with
which TO meet this demand, which is abso-
lutely necessary to preserve the credit Of
tn State. This matter should receive the
early attention Of the Legislature.

CALLED UPON TO RESIGN.

The recent gold panic in New York has
done much to expose the "black legs
connected with Grants administration. 1t
appears that a high official of the Treasury
Department was deeply concerned in the
gambling operationsof the memorable oath
Of September. The accounts heretofore pub
lished show what use was made of the i'm
mense monied machinery of the United
States government to the utter ruin OF
thousands of men in different parts of the
country. This exposure was made several
days ago, but so far no notice of the affair
has been taken by the President or his
Secretary Of the Treasury The Springfield
Rl,ujliega one Of the leading Radical or
gmus Of Massachusetts,, speaks out in
ragardto this matter as follows:

SATEAp REYNOLDS regards himself as the
autocrat Of Texas. and that his dictum is
the law of the State. He has recently
issued an order to his suboriinates di-
recting that in case the free and full ez-
crcise of the privilege OF voting is OBJ
structcd to any registered voters, what
ever by disturbances at the polls, the
Boards shall at once close the polls and
make a full report Of the circumstances to
the nearest post commander, who will
take immediate action to arrest the Of.
Tenders and hold them in military custody
until further orders. The election is not
to be resumed until ordered from district
headquarters The idea Of stopping an
election for an indefinite period because q
disturbance may occur, is something new
in this country. Why does not this satraI
have the military or police at the polls E,
