GEORGE PRENTICE.

Our telegraphic dispatches announce
the death of this distinguished journalist
wit and poet Owing to feebleness of
health, Mr.. Prentice has not taken very
active part in the editorial management of
his paper for the last three or four years.
He is identified with the name and fame
of the Louisville Journal Previous to
the war he stood in the very front rank
of his profession. In the palmy
days of the old Wing party
there was no editor who welded
so great an influence with his party as Mr..
Prentice. He was born in Preston.
Conn, Dec. IS, 1902. He graduated at
Brown University, Providence, r. l. in
1928. In 1928 he became the editor of
the New England Weekly ReUieeO, pub
lished at Hartford, Conn, which lie con-
Quoted for two years. He then removed
to Louisville, and there became, in 1881,
the editor of the Louisville Journal.
Death has relieved him of all earthly
Affections and carried him beyond the
reach of the political struggles in which
he has been so prominent participator
for more than thirty years Peace to his
ashes. #.....

NATIONAL BANKS AND FINANCES.

The special correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer from Washington says
It may be set down as a certainty that
nothing will be done during the present
session to enlarge the volume of greenback
currency. This, at least, is the opinion
of most of the Republicans, whose opin-
ions are entitled to the greatest weight re
speeding future legislation. Most likely
there will be strong effort to increase
the National Bank circulation, but only by
a corresponding retirement of green
backs. The banks are mastering their
forces for big struggle for utter su
premacy, and they will soon show them
selves as powerful for evil and corrup-
ton in Congress as the East India Com
pany proved itself in the British Parlia-
ment in the days of King William, when
an investigation showed that that giant
monopoly was filling the seats of the
House of Commons with its mercenaTy
agents. Nor are we soon likely to rise to the
height of virtue displayed by the English
people when they demanded and secured
the expulsion of men whose election had
been brought about the East India Com
pany's money. The National Banks are
better able to buy up their enemies than
their enemies are to fight them. ''This
was some time a paradox, but now the
time gives it proof"
Ben. Butler promises at an early day to
make a struggle for the taxation of Gov
eminent bonds. He will be met by all
manner of bterfuges-funding bills and
the like; and the great West, which has
all to gain and nothing to lose by the
measure, will be stabbed by its friends.
Mr.. Sherman will demonstrate the Gin
justice" of the proposition; Mr.. Gar
field will weap tears of sorrow at the
thought of such ingratitude to the loyal
men who poured out their treasure in
the nations hour of peril" and the money
sharks will come out unframed, because
the protecting agis Of the Administration
is oyer them, and Ulysses is their friend

TENNESSEE CONGRESS-

The Athens Post states that a private let
ter from Washington to a gentleman of
that place says Stokes, Maynard s. Co.
are much disappointed and mortified at
the conservative and moderate policy
evmced by the Tennessee State Conven-
ton. They have been telling Congress,
and any other man who would listen to
them, that the Convention designed
to go back on the negro, to
disfranchise and remand him to
slavery, and do various and sundry
things painful to the loyal heart and mind
But now that Interpretations are all about
to fail and they are branded as false pro-
phets and slanderers and viliiers of their
own people by the action of the Conven-
ton, they are well nigh frantic with rage.
Stokes goes about and cusses dreadful,
Butler has become constant frequenter
of the cheap whisky shops that have
sprung up in every street of the national

walton, and even the placid and mild
hammered Maynard is said to indulge
freely in the use of explosives entirely uu-
becoming a member of the church mill
tant in good standing.
The Washington correspondent of the
COu1Ter-J0ur7aal, speaking of r. r. But
ler's bill, says:
81 do not know that it will pass, but l
90 know that it has been prepared with
great care and after consultation with the
leaders of the Radical party, aud Ben
Butler has only to crack his whip over
the heads of the poor wretches and they
crouch at his feet and do his will 1t is
put forth just now to Overturn the action
Of the Tennessee Convention, and also to
serve as a warning to any other recusant
State. That such a measure should be
entertained is atrocious, but it will get
strong support. In every conceivable
way is the bitterness of the Radicals

EFFORTS TO HAVE TENNESSEE
RECONSTRUCTED

The Washington correspondent of the
Greeney Tile (Tenn) Ne,C Era writes Jan.
y, as follows:
''On Monday last Gen. Stokes and r.
K. Butler presented to the House memori-
ais from different counties of your State
praying Congress to investigate the late
election frauds committed in the State
and TO protect the Union men, white and
black in their rights, and if possible place
the administration of the affairs of the
State government in the hands of the
friends of the administration and the
Union and the legal voters of the same.
The presentation of these memorials
is only the beginning of the
beginning, for l ascertain that
they win be presented every day until
every county, town and village shall have
spoken in the matter, and shown TO Con-
gress and the world that they must inter
pose for the protection of the loyal pe0-
pie of the State, and enforce the third
section of the fourteenth article of the
constitution, disqualifying certain persons
for participation in the rebellion, in exer-
Cising any official trust either State or ma
tiOnal, until they have been relieved of
such disabilities by a vote of both houses
of Congress. By the time the Recon-
strUction Committee is ready to report a
bill for this purpose, the justice of the
measure will be SO clearly established,
that there will be no doubt of its passage. -
The petitions presented by Stokes and
Butler are, We presume, copies of the
printed petition sent out from Washing
ton for signatures, a copy of which we
printed in these columns few days AGO
The statement of the NclC Era's Ceres
pendent shows that these petitions were
scattered broadcast over the STATE. and
the great body of the Radicals, in this
State, white and black, will sign them in
order TO create the impression that Con-
gressional interference is demanded by
the '1oyal' people. Every effort, how
ever inscriptions, is TO be made to get
into power again by the Radicals who
reveled in fat places for mere than four
years. If there can be for nd honesty and
justice enough in COhgres TO investigate
the representations of the Sc malcontents,
the honest, taX-paying people of Tenne.-
see viii have no fears as to the result.

TRUMBULL AND SUMMER.

The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Commercial RadicaD writes,
Jan. 81, as follows:
''The Senate to-day, in the discussion
on the Virginia bill, had another tilt be-
tween Trumbull and Summer, each trying
TO prove that the other had been Tecreant
to the cause of liberty, and an obstacle in
the way of reconstruction. Their remarks
were bitterly personal, each being called
to order by the Vice President.
''The greatest crowd which has assem-
bled in the chamber this season had con-
gregated to hear the closing debate, and
listened with absorbing interest to three
hours of TecriminatiOn. The floor was
filed with members of the House and 9TH
ers entitled to that privilege, and the dip
lomatic gallery contained an unusual ar
ray of foreigners.
"The speeches, aside from PERSONAL
ties, were exceedingly able, though it was
remarked that Sumner fell short of the
ability he displayed in his affair with
Trumbull the other day.
''Trumbull's exposition of his theory
that fundamental conditions are necessarily
invalid and void, since all States within
the Union must be equal, and can be
bound only by constitutional provisions,
was masterly."

mR. DAWES, SPEECH.

The speech of Mr.. Dawes, Chairman
of the Committee on Appropriations, is
exciting very considerable attention and
comment. 1t is proving very damaging
to the economical pretensions of the Grant
administration, coming, as it does, from a
New England Radical and the chairman
of the committee whose business it is to
know whereof he speaks. A letter from
Washington says he did not speak from
memory or vaguely. When he referred to
figures he held in his hand the official es-
mates furnished the committee by the heads
of departments, or appropriations for
the fiscal year of Grants administration,
and he gave collars and cents. In about
half an hour lie had exploded all the state
ments which have been circulated so in
dustriously in the newspapers and on the
stump, about the economy and retrench-
ment of the present Administration.
The appropriations asked for the navy
yards were greater than ever before. The
only hope Of retrenchment in the Navy
Department held out to the country was
in the item of coal. Here, it was
said, we would save $1,000,000, when
the official records showed that
the coal used by the navy last
year, under Old Father Welles,
only amounted to $4,000. At this
point the Democrats INDUCED in laugh
at the expense of the jolly Robson. The
Postmaster General, with whom, it is said
Dawes is not on the best of terms,
came in for his share of ridicule and
blame. Creswell's calculation that il
cost the government S., 900, 900 year to
maintain the franking privilege was dis
sected, and Dawes asserted that if the
postage on all the matter sent by members
of Congress was paid it would not amount
to 5000, This would allow every
member to mail eight hundred letters
every day in the year. Dawes cOmpari.
son of the estimates of appropriations
asked for during the last year of Andrew
Johnson's administration with those OF
the first year of the present administration
was highly creditable to the former anC
decidedly damaging to the latter. Severa
prominent Democrats said no better de
Tense of Andrew Johnson's administration
could have been made than was exhibited
to-day in the comparison of estimates fol
appropriations.
According to the showing of the Chair
man of the Appropriation Committee
and he is regarded as a careful man, thu
estimates of the present Administration
for the first year exceed those of the las
year of Andrew Johnson's Administration
| $40, 900, 600. This did not include, 1t
said, the millions asked for San Domingo
for the New York Postofiice-he saiC
nothing about the Boston Postoffice-anC
for League Island. The conclusion o
Dawes speech was, the Administration
and the Republican party had not KEEP
faith with the people on the promises O.
economy and retrenchment, through
which they had been placed in power
The speech made marked effect on thu
House, and is the general subject of con
versation in official and political circles
tonight.

DIR, DUDLEY.

The funeral of DR.. Benjamin w. Dud-
ley, of Lexington, KY, took place from
his residence on the afternoon of the 21st
inst As mark of respect to the memory
of the eminent surgeon whose reputation
was worldwide, and who, as citizen,
had gained the love and esteem of his fell
low-citizens, all the business houses were
closed during the funeral service, and his
remains were followed to the grave by the
members of his profession, several of
whom were his pupils during his profess
sOrship in Pennsylvania University, the
members of the bar, the City Council and
large number of his friends. Thus has
passed from among us one whose life was
devoted to his profession, which numbered
him as one of its brightest stars and most
charitable members. There is remark
able instance connected with his life which
but few, if any, of his profession of the
present day can boast of. DR.. Dudley was
over eighty years of age.

Scott and his friends bought up all those
bills, then got the negro Legislature to
redeem by State bonds at par, and soon
after TO enact that these bonds, principal
and interest, shall be paid in gold. And
So it Is in everything. Five or ten dol

HON. LAmES 5. GREEN.

This gentlemen died on the 18th inst.
in the city of st. Louis. He was Vir-
gilman by birth, having been born in Eau
quer county on the 2Sth of February,
1877. In 1886 he removed to Alabama,
but there he remained only year. He
next took up his residence in Missouri,
and it is with that State his name will be
associated. In 1910 he was admitted to
the bar and achieved, after some
time, a lucrative practice. He soon
after entered the field Of politics and
was also fortunate, as we find him in 1914
a Presidential elector, and in the follow
ing year he was appointed a member of
the convention for the revision of the con-
stitutiOn of Missouri. In 1916 he was
elected a member of Congress, and served
two consecutive terms. In 1S4S he took
the stump against the late Thomas II. Ben
ton, and attracted considerable attention
by the vigor and force of his arguments
President Pierce appointed him Charge
d'Affaires, and subsequently he became
Minister Resident at Bogota, New Grana-
da. In 1855 he was again reelected to
Congress, but before taking his seat he
was chosen to represent the State of Mis-
souri, in the Senate of the United States,
where he remained until 1861. During
his Congressional career he served on sew
ersl important committees.

.sULTIMATELY AssENT.,,

The Cincinnati Commercial says:
Mississippi and Minnesota increased
the number of States that have ratified
the Fifteenth Amendment to twenty-four.
Rhode Island and Ohio make twenty
six. There Is no doubt that Iowa, Ne
braska and Texas viii ratify. This will
make twenty-nine. Georgia will ulti-
mately assent" Ultimately assent, is
certainly very happy expression, which
the Commercial has used to express
Congressional coercion. If old Sam
johnson were alive and engaged in the
revisal of his dictionary, he certainly
could get new idea.

As this is really specific for Worms, and the
