TROOPS FOR TENNESSEE.

L
TROOPS FOR TENNESSEE.
The question of responding to the ap.
peals made to the Administration by
certain parties in Tennessee for troope
to suppress the outrages in1that State
was formally considered to-day by the
President, and was mentioned in the
Cabinet meeting, aud it is understood
that on the application of the Governor
of the State an additional military
force will be sent to those sections
where the troubles exist, but should the
State authorities fail to officially make
request for such force, the Govern.
ment will nevertheless send troops to
sustain the Federal officers in the en-
forcement of the revenue laws. In this
way the end will be attained without
reference 10 the views of Governor SEN
ter. "
REMOVAL OF DISABILITIES IN MISSISSIPPI.
The Mississippi delegation in the
House are anxious to get the political
disabilities Of every citizen of their
State removed, and to this end one of
them prepared a general bill granting
amnesty 10 every person in that State
who is dsfranchised by the third section
of the Fourteenth Amendment, includ-
| ing, of course, Jefferson Davis. No such
liberal spirit as this has been evinced by
any of the Southern delegations in Con-
gress, though the proposed bill is based
on the resolutions of the Mississippi
Legislature, asking Congress to remove
the political disabilities of all the citi-
zens of that State. 1t is not probable
that this special bill will be considered
until the general amnesty bill agreed on
by the Reconstruction committee is dis
posed of by Congress, which may avoid
the necessity of such special legislation.
TELEGRAMs TO AFFECT GOLD.
There has been great deal of tele-
graphing between New York and Wash
ington to day to affect the gold premi-
um. Bulletins of the status of the
Funding bill in the Senate have been
sent over the wires every ten minutes,
and good many dispatches have been
for warded that, have no foundation.
lAmong these is ono itelegraphed back,
and published here this afternoon, to
the effect that the House committee on
Foreign Affairs had decided to report a
Joint resolution in favor of the recogni-
tion of the belligerent rights of Cuba.
lTelegrams declaring that the Funding
lbillswonh be defeated, tits understood
there, aided most materially insshoying
up the. premium on gold, assisted By
tsuch other canards as that mentioned.

protraeted discussion of nine hours, and
the defeat of numerous amendments,
finally passed the bill to fund the public

rection, the bill passed almost as it
originally came from the ! Finance
