THEIR OCCUPATION GoNE.-The Treasury
officials are unable to take any action for the
r. / ct OF claim agents having claims before the
Department which cannot be paid under the
recent decision of the Attorney-Gen al rela-
tive to the disposal of appropriations, and many
agents here contemplate the abandonment OF
the claim business for the present, or at least
giving but slight attention to Ii. Advices from
the North and West are to the effect that the
decision in the matter creates great surprise
and the departments daily receives large num-
bers OF letters OF inquiry relative to the SAM.

The CoxrKDrRATE EXECUTIVE MANSION

The CoEFEDERATR EXECUTIVE MANsIoN.-A
proposition has been pending before the War
Department for some time to surrender the
Davis mansion in Richmond for rmerly used as a
military headquarters, and turn it over to the
municipal authorities, upon condition that that
city will bind itself never to set up a claim for
rent. The city attorney finally recommended
the Council to receive the building under
protest, and dreserying the right to prosecute the
claim for rent. The Council referred the whole
matter to the attorney, with authority to receive
the building and turn it over to the proper CITY
authority. The War Department will insis.
upon IFS terms, and the executive mansion of the
CoBfederacy is likely to remain United State
property for the present.
NICKEL AND COPPER CoIN.-Many letters
having been received at both the Treasury and
Post Office Departments from Postmasters,
Ferry boat agents and others, as to the disposi-
ton OF copper and nickel csin, the Secretary
or the easury has replied that the nickel coins,
issued uI der the act Of February 81, 1851, are
not legal tender for any amount, but are ex-
change1ble at the mint OF the United States for
the three and five cent nickel pieces. The one
and two cent pieces authorized by the act OF
April %, 1864, which comprise the chief portion
of the cent coinage in circulation, are legal
t,nder for any payment not exceeding four cents
in amount; the three cent nickel pieces are a
legal tender for sixty cents. and the five cent
pieces for one dollar. There is no provision of
law authorizing the redemption ofth one and
two cent pieces, but q circular issued by the
Secretary dire cts the redemption of i've cent
pieces BY the Treasurer and Assistant Tressur-
ers hen presented in sums not less than one
hundred dollars.

Disqualified.

The present Constitution of the
State Of Tennessee disquaiiIies the edi-
tor OF this paper from holding any Of
fee in the civil department Of this
State.
The disqualifying provision is sec.
ton ? Of article 8, and reads IS fol
lows:
"No person who denies the being Of
God, or n future state of rewards and
punishmenls, shall hold any Office in
the civil department Of this State
We do not deny the existence Of an
All-wisc and merciful God Neither
do we deny that the day is coming
when the righteous dead will be rcsur
rectcd and receive their reward. But
we do most emphatcally deny that the
unjust are to be re-creatcd and pun
ished for billions, trilions, and septil-
lions Of years-to say nothing Of the
illimitabic period beyond, which we
have no word TO. express for what
they have done in comparatively Il mo
ment of time. The idea is ridiculous,
in our opinion, and we would not hyp
ocriticaiIy pretend 20 believe il fer all
the offices in the State.
The Constitution Of the United
States, upon the other hand, provides
that
"No religious test shall ever he re-
qnired us Il Qualification to any Office
or public Trust under the United
States"
According to this provision of the
Federal Constitution, We might repre-
sent the State in Congress, occupy a
place in the Cabinet, accept the APP
pointment Of Mi.!ister at u Foreign
Court, or be President of The United
States; but, at the same time, under
the Constitution of the State Of Ten
nrssee, we could not hold the Office of
