FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May II. General
Banks is said to have prepared series
of resolutions on the subject OF San
Domingo, which he read to the PreSi-
dent yesterday morning, which Grant
heartily approved. In these res0la-
tiOns the desirability Of our acquiring
San Domingo Is based, in part, on
argument that the destination of the
West India Islands IS to be retained,
or to pass under the control OF
stronger governments. either in Eu-
rope or in America, and that if the
United States do not seize the avaiIa-
ble opportunity to possess them Eu-
ropean mOnarchies will.
The Reconstruction Committee did
not dispose of the Georgia question
to-day as was expected, there not be-
ing a quorum of the members OF the
committee present.
At meeting of the Banking and
Currency Committee the bill, aAcently
reported to the House providing for
additional banking facilities, was dis
cussed, as well as the various criticisms
upon il in the public press. The COM
mittee come to the conclusion that it
was not advisable to amend the bill in
any particular, but make fight for
it in its present shape.
The House Committee on Elections
this morning agreed to pay Louis Ea-
gans, who contested his seat in the
House.
The following bills were ruled out:
Sypher, $500; st. Martin, $500; Nc
Grain, $1,000; Hunt, $500.
II The House Committee on Ways and
Means had before it this morning Mr..
Bowles, of the firm of BOwles, Bros.
& Co., Paris, who made an argument
on the funding bill, advocating four
per cent. bonds. His statements pro-
duced a favorable impression on the
committee.
The House Committee on Foreign
Affairs met this morning and heard
an argument by Cyrus w. Field in
favor of his inter-Oceanic cable enter
prise from San Francisco to Japan,
via Sandwich Islands. He now de-
sires, instead of gift of land, SUBJ
sidy of $500, 600 per year for term of
years.
The President this morning signed
the bill limiting the number ofspeeial
agents of the Treasury Department to
So, and dividing them into three
classes, at salaries ranging from five
to ten dollars per day.
Information was received at the
navy department this morning to the
effect that the United States steamer
Quinnebaug, Commander F. Barrett,
sailed from Montevideo, on the first
Of April, for the United States, intend
ing to stop on the way home at
Pernambuco and Para.
The currency in the treasury is
$69, ,250, 600; coin balance, $l12, 900, 900,
Of which s34, 500, 900 are coin certii-

A RADICAL MOB.
How Ministers Of the Gospel are Treated in
East Tennessee
Doors and WindOws of a Church Barri-
caded.

The Knoxville Press and Herald
learns from Rev. II. W. Bays the fol-
lowing particulars of a Radical moi
and preacher mObbing in Blount cOun-
ty, on the morning of the Sth inst:
Sunday morning at 10:30 O'Clock, a
mob of about forty Radical rufians,
black and white, assembled at Logan S
Chapel, six miles east of Maryville, in
Blount county, armed with knives,
pistols and bludgeOns, for the purpose
of mobbing Rev ri. W. Bays, a
preacher of the methodist Episcopal
Church South, having charge OF Sc
vierviiIe and Little River circuit of
the HOlstOn Conference.
The rufiiSns barricaded the doors
and windows of the church with the
benches, and awaited AR. Bays arri-
val. Soon the preacher arrived in front
of the church in a buggy, in which
were Alexander Kennedy, sr., his
daughter, and Mr.. Bays and wife.
The crowd seized the horses, and Will
liam Goddard, the leader of the ruff
fans, brandishing a huge bludgeOn,
sWOHe that they would kill Mr.. Bays
if he alighted from the buggy. The
crown DEduulsubd iutiF AulN6S, anu
yelled and whOOped, making hOFFi-
bic racket, and frightening the ladies
into screaming.
Mr.. Bays attempted to reason with
the mob but it was useless. They an
sWer6d him with curses and tffSIO,ts.
Finding thst the danger was in, Ii
nent and that delay might cost HIM
his life, Mr.. Bays requested Mr.. Ken
nedy to drive of, and they left the
scenee amid the hootings and curses
of the mob.
The Fingleaders in this base outrage
are the persons who were engaged in
a similar attempt to mob Methodist
minister in the same vicinity last
year. Many of them had since that
event been indicted, and had endeav-
Ored to compromise with the prose
cutOrs by payment of 5000, which
compromise was refused. Pssis last
outrage by the same gang of artisan
outlaws occasions no little excitement
and indignation in this quarter. 1t Is
the third case of preacher IaObbing
that has occurred in the loyal county
of BlO4nt within the last two or three
ynora

its first landing on this planet in naked

ters very little to know the particular

which in ages since have enabled Sages

that as the Bluff is as old as any
other part of the world, its inhabitants
may justly claim to have descended in
as direct line as anybody else from the
innocent pair who at one time enjoyed
the beauties and Blooms Of Paradise; and
hence it will not be wondered at that our
Sages. in their sublime thirst for knowl-
edge and wisdom, and their devout de-
sire to be placed on an equality with
the gods, knowing good from evil, should
at any time have their eyes opened by a
New England gentleman wrapped in a
linen buster, with pair Of lucifer-match
boxes on his feet, Eastwood ham on
his head, a carpet-bag in one hand and a
wooden clock in the other. The only
consolation to be derived from the inaic-
ton Of this punishment, by which all are

Defense OF Rev. y. III. Osborne by

Some time ago we clipped from a

spree INDUCED in by Son Of Temper

Since then we have received the follow

which places the matter in another light.
We have no doubt but the " cholera med
