tennessee Bonds.

There was very severe break in Tennes-
see Bonds IN the New York market last
week, which the papers there account for
thus; at is stated that the parties who load
ed up in expectation of finding purchasers
at higher quotations when the State should
auction off its interest in the several railroads
which have failed to meet their indebtedness
to the State, were greatly disappointed to
find that there were no bidders for franchise
thus offered, and when they afterwards
learned that the sale failed because of the
claims OF the United States to certain por-
tions of the rolling stock which had been
sold to the companies at the end of the war,
but for which payment had not as yet been
made, they began selling their load, precipis
tating the break from 81 to 55."-NasAx

Congressman at Large.


Thomas II. Reeves, of Jonesboro, who ran
against John B. Rodgers (RepubIicap) for
Congressman for the State at large, had
bad start or rather did not get on the track
soon enough for very considerable vote
but has probably beaten Rodgers, if that
victory is worth anything Mr.. Reeves had
been a candidate for the Legislature, but
withdrew to take tilt for larger game. He
was the Assistant Clerk of the House, it will
be remembered, up to last May, when he
resigned 1t seems that Reeves and Rod
gers were both running upon the strength
of a resolution adopted March u, 1868, and
which has never been repealed, providing
for the election of a member of Congress
from the State at large. Under this resolu-
ton, General Rodgers was elected to Con-
gress in 1868, but was refused admission.
We take it for granted a like fate is reserved
to our friend Reeves, but that is a question
