Col. o. p Temple is a candidate fol
Chancellor in the Knoxville Chancery
division. This much by way of introdue.
ton to the following article from the
Knoxville Messenger Of Peace of March
IL, 1866: ssE
Through the kindness of friend. we
have received book of 12S pages en-
titled Memorial of citizens of Tennes-
see, praying that the present State organi-
cation OF Tennessee may be reorganiZed
and its perpetuity guaranteed.
Col o. p. Temple was sworn and ex-
ahmed by Mr.. Bingham, ON the 18th
ult. Concerning the condition of affairs
In East Tennessee, he represented every
thing quiet for the past four months
previous to this time much strife. He
has had some conversations with the
rebels, though he is not intimate with
them as great many others are. He
SAID ne was known as very decided
Union man, and regarded by some as an
ultra man. He supposed that 40, 900 to
oO, 200 voters of Tennessee had been dis
franehised. He feared that il the white
people of the State were all put on an
equality in regard to the franchise. the
former secession party would secure the
control of the State, but on the other
hand he testified that "East Tennessee is
able to take care of itself beyond any
question in the world with the present
franchise act y f11i
He swore that he believed the hearts |
OF the disuniOnists were Just lust ike /
they were four years age, notwithstand- !
ing some of them acquiesced in the pres
ent condition of things and he believed |
would continue TO do 80. In his opinion,
to admit the representatives from Tennes-
see, would unquestionably strengthen the |
loyal men very much-to reject them 1
would have tendency to bring about 1
discomfort and strengthen the other party. /
The last question which was by Mr.. 1
Grider, was "whether those gentlemen |
who are acquiescing, and who say they /
are willing to submit to the general gov
eminent, are not generally men of ca
pacity and influence and consideration 2"
MIR. Temples anwer was, ''Yes sir, they 4
are generally, so far as l know, because
those are the persons generally come in
contact with" He said he never came
in contact with many of the common
people, and that he knew very little about
their sentiments. He also said that it
was generally persons of position with
whom he came in contact, or with whom
ne had conversation. With such, he
stated that he had many conversations
and that they were generally men of
standing and responsibility, or were so
before the war, but that great many of
them had fallen off in his estimation.

Effect of the War on American Sc
curfaies and the Balance of Trade

Effect of the War on American Sc
curiaies and the Balance of Trade.
New YORK, July I6.-The unsettled feel
ing caused by uncertainty whether Wal
be declared or not, has been succeeded
by quieter condition Of affairs, and atten-
ton is now in Wall street entirely directed
to the probable effect of the war on Ameri-
can finances. This will depend largely on
the amount Of specie shipments, which in
turn will depend on the quantity Of Ameri-
can securities that may be returned from
Europe. After the first flush of the declare
lion Of war il is believed that foreign capt.
talists will seek investments in our bonds,
while the demand for breadstuffs and
American products is likely to exert an i'm
portant influence on foreign exchange.
The return of any considerable amount OF
securities would, perhaps, neutralize the
European demand for breadstuffs.
The feeling in governments to-day on
Wall street is decidedly better, and prices
have advanced; closing very strong,
though without much activity. Foreign
bankers were buyers to some extent, while
home investment demand was good, and
the supply quiet moderate.
