The London Spectator upon Boutgsll's
"IdiotiC Proposals.


The London Spectator, OF a recent date,
reviewing the financial propositions Of
Secretary Boutwell,, says: Mr.. Boutwells 5
report contains some startling proposals.
First, he inveighs against the system of
allowing banks TO pay interest on depos-
its, which results, as be very justly says,
in the money being distributed by the
banks, instead of by individuals, and con-
sequently in its flowing TO the great city
banks, where money is most in demand.
This Mr.. Boutwell, describes as an "arti-
fetal SYSTEM" tending to accumulate
money more in the great centres of trade
than is natural, and 10 denude the coun-
try OF money. What Mr.. Boutwell, means
by an artificial system " it Is hard to
say. Perhaps he calls the tendency of
labor and population 10 the great cities
artificial, and thinks it denudes the coun-
try Of labor. He seriously proposes to
pass q law forbidding the banks to give
interess on deposits, and another
law limiting the loans of banks on cot
lateral securities TO an amount not eX-
ceediDg ten per cent. of their capital! Mr..
Boutwell, has not the remotest concep-
ton of what he is talking about or pro-
poses to do. He Is a child in political
economy. His object seems to be to check
speculation and compel the public to lend
their money to the merchants and manu-
facturers directly, instead of distributing
it through banks, which he thinks encour-
age speculation. and make their own profit
at the expense of the community. First,
his rather idiotic proposal would not an
swer his purpose; and, secondly, his pur-
pose is ridiculous one. He might just
as well propose to abolish wholesale
houses, or any other class of trained mid
dlemen between the public and the pro-
dueers. No part of the organization for
Z fa or,ny,lfxyRf1aOt of GVqra aaDifaf has bitk-
erto proved so safe as the agency of the
banks. If you could abolish that inter
mediate agency, the public companies
which would spring up in their places
would foster an infinitely wilder spirit Of
speculation.

THE TENNESSEE CONVENTION.
Important Propositions Of Amendment to
the Constitution.

NASHVILLE, January I3.-The Fran
chise Committee has not yet submitted its
report to the Convention, and there are
various conjectures as to what will be the
character of the report. The majority of
the committee are thought TO be favorable
to exclusive white suffrage. If they so
report, there will be a minority report
from the same committee, which will
most probably be adopted, it being pretty
definitely settled that majority of the
Convention are favorable to universal
manhood suffrage.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH.
NASHVILLE, January 13.-The Conven-
tion to-day was again engrossed with the

ositions to prohibit the further issuance
Of State bonds;
To take the Constitution, read it article

the Government of the United States, and /
which the Convention refused to have /
resdl.
The Committee on the Bill of Rights re-
ported the same as contained in the pres

THE SEBsATlON OF NEW YORK.
Cook. the Ex-Aeter, and Present Clerical
libsrtIne.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.


Rev. Horace Cook, of the Seventh street
Methodist Church, eloped on Friday
with Miss Matte Johnston, daughter Of
Mr.. William Johnston, of go Seventh
street. He was last seen on Friday even
ing, leaving 2 ferryboat at Jersey City,
and is thought to have lett for Europe IN
the steamer City of Brussels. kilograms
have been sent in numerous directions
by Mr. Johnston, but as YET without sue
cess. Mr.. Johnston is 3 wealthy man,
and will spare no expense 10 regain his
misguided child.
Mr., Cook received two thousand dollars
a year salary, besides rent and fuel. He
had been paid up to the LIST of January.
He took his clothing along with him, but
the Young lady was entirely unprovided
with baggage. he was regarded as the
most eloquent Methodist minister in this
city. He has been married eighteen years.
Cooks wife and son are entirely desti-
tute. Cook was formerly an actor. He
was converted during revival in Bur
toms Theater, in this city, years ago. He
was first sppOinted to the Methodist
Church of Astoria. From there he went
to Flushing, and Mamaroneck, and final
ly, in May last, to his late field of labor.
Miss Johnston is a pretty, rosy-eheeked
girl of sixteen, with a round, short figure,
and black hair, and she was in the senior
class Of the Twelfth Street Grammar
School under the tuition IF Miss Lydia
f. Wadleigh; and the statements of both
that lady and her pupils testify to her
good scholarship and invariably amiable,
modest disposition. Much grief is felt for
her by them all. She became probation
or in the Seventeenth Street Church soon
after the advent OF Mr.. Cook, and was
quite open in her innocent expression of
admiration regarding him. Upon his de-
parture for Europe she handed him note
which called the blessing of God upon his
welfare, and the safety of his voyage.
During his absence he correspondent with
her. His letters were seen by the young
lady's family, and were chiefly of relig-
ious character.
On Mr.. Cooks feturn he was observed
at times to be abstracted in his manner.
and never desirous of prolonging CONVEX
sations. His walks with Miss Johnston
were noticed, and he was once seen carry
ing her books as she left school. But no
suspicion was excited at the time. She
was a teacher in the church Sunday
school, and his means Of meeting her
there, and at class and prayer meetings,
were frequent.
On finally determining to elope, Mr..
Cook privately packed trunk on Thurs
day last, after sending his wife and son to
q lecture Of Milburn, the blind preacher,
and on Friday desired his wife to carry a
message for him. While she was on the
errand he procured the removal of the
trunk to a point where he probably after
ward called for it. On Friday afternoon
he informed his wife that he was going

" HORACE COOK"
Mrs. Cook had heard that Miss Johnston
was also missing, and at once realized the
faet OF the elopemeut. Her Affections
may be imsgined. She told friend that
foT sixteen years she had been q slave to
her husband, and that this cruel blow ut
terly prostrated her. at the same hour
on Saturday morning Mr.. Johnston also
received letter from Cook, IS follows:
Il love Matte. l will care for her ten
derly, kindly, lovingly, inconsistent as it
may appear with my present conduct. L
ask for no mercy, but am ready to pay
with nay life for the woman I adore.
HORACE COOK"
The absence Of the couple was at first
kept secret, but Mrs. Cook informed SIR.
IL. f. Pease, the Presiding Elder, of the
facts, on Sunday morning. Mr. Pease
ofheiated in the pulpit, and the congrega-
tion were given to understand that Cook
was troubled with neuralgia. No sur
misses were INDUCED in, but at the even
ing meeting il was noticed that Mr.. Peass
did not pray for the sick pastor, as was
customary. Inquiries were made of him
regarding this, and the truth was fully re-
veaied
Various reports have arisen regarding
the antecedents of Air. Cook, since his de-
parture. He IS said to have been seen
leaving the New York Hotel on Thurs
day, in an unclerical pair Of corn-colored
kids, and with cigar in his mouth at an
angle of Iorty-five degrees. Others say
that he had been victim TO panel thieves
during nightly indiscretiOns; that these
had learned his name by means Of letters
in his pockets, and had perPetually black
mailed hiA.
The telegraph last night brought the
annexed Information Of the clerical scouu- /
drel, which proves that he had not left the /
city since the announcement of the AFFAIR; |

When Mr.. Cavansugh, the other day, in

go unless the Senate should reject Gen.
Potts, which he deemed hardly possible.
