thought that he meant to control Grants

THE NEGRO SENATOR.
A special TO the Cincinnati Enquirer
announces that the Hon. Hiram r. Rev
els, the colored United States Senator
elect from Mississippi, has arrived, and
is the guest of Geo. T. Downing, the col
ored restaurant keeper of the capitol.
Gen. Ames, the Senator elect from that
State for the long term, preceded Revels,
and arrived here Saturday, having the
certificates of their election, and they will
probably be presented tomorrow. Revels
says he is assured that there will be no
difficulty in his taking his seat, pro-
vided the members of the party he rep
resents are true to their principles and
their professions His election, he says,
was unquestionably in accordance
with the prescribed law of Con-
gress, and the only objection that can
possibly be raised is that of color. Rev
els says Gov. Alcorn has assured tle lead
ing Republicans of Mississippi that his
administration of the affairs of the State
will be thoroughly Radical, and has al
ready announced that he will not appoint
Judicial officers except upon the recon-
mendation of the county executive COM
mittees. A number of Revels' colored
friends have called upon him to pay their
Tla GoT1ofnr n1onf &c in hic
forty-eighth year, is tall, portly, and of
light complexion. He says his large ex-
perience among the colored men and
freedmen throughout the country, he
believes, will be of great service in re-
presenting them in the Senate. He adds
that he comes to Washington with the
determination of exercising his own judg
ment upon every political question.
Speaking of the position to which he had
been elected, Revels said he was
deeply impressed with the great re-
sponsibility resting upon him, not so
much on account of the dignity of the
Office as the fact that the friends and foes
of the Republican party, those who strenu-
ously opposed the Acknowledgement of his
people will watch his action with unceas-
ing vigilance. He feels free to say that
as the representative of the party electing
him he has no peculiar measures to advo-
cate, but upon all questions involving the
welfare and prosperity of his people he
will be found sustaining the Republican
party. Revels speaks of the injury which
many of the extremists in Mississippi had
done to the party by their ultra measures,
and knew of no better way to prove that
the colored men were not disposed to
domineer than in opposing those who, for
the sake of personal advantage, were
always sacrificing true manhood. He
feels that the friends of the colored race
are watching with great deal of interest
the manner in which he is received by the
Senators and members of Congress.

To James Ruddle & Co., louisville Kentucky:
Gentlemen-This is to certify that have been for
years a sufferer, and tried all the tonics ever
heard of or advertised with little or no relief
from any of them. 1 heard your Hurley Bltters
highly spoken of, and tried a bottle, with little
faith in it before 1 commenced, and to my sur
prise and joy, before finished one bottle, felt
great deal better, and firmly believe that on one or
two occasions it was the means of saving and pro-
longing my life. 1 conscientiously recommend
them to all sufferers the best bitters known, and
advise them to always ask for DR.. T. 4. Hurleys,
and have no other. You can use this as you think
proper, if it will benefit others.
Yours, truly, etc, JOHN W. DIXON.

Hurley's Popular Worm Candy.

As this is really specific for Worms, and the
best and most paatable form to give to children, it
is not surprising that it is fast taking the place Of
all other preparations for worms-it being per-
fectly tast0less, and any child viii take it.
NIessrs. James Ruddle & Co: Gentlemen-It
give great pleasure to say, after using all the
other worm remedies known to me, with bat par
tisl relief to my children, was advised to try DR..
A. T. Hurley's, and siuce using it, my children
have become quite well and healthy; the children
would eat it all the time, it is so pleasant if we
would let them. l believe it Is of the best and
safest remedies known, and as such, recommend it
to one and all. JAMES W. TRAVIS

CnNvENrInNALr INTEREST.

The one great want of the people of
Tennessee since the war has been capital.
The National Bank system has driven all
Of the old banks into retirement. They
cannot again 60 into operation without
paying penalty Of ten per cent upon
the amount of their circulation for inter
fering with the exclusive privileges of the
National Bank monopoly. Not only are
we without the capital Of our old banks,
but 8 large amount of private capital be-
longing in this State is taken into other
States for Investment because Of the
low rate of interest allowed by our laws.
The amount thus taken from Tennessee,
to contribute to the growth and prospe-
rity of other States, is estimated at several
millions of dollars. A well informed
gentleman of this city, assured US few
days since, that he knew of 100000,
which belonged in this county, that was
on loan in Missouri, at ten per cent
interest. A letter from Memphis informs
us, that there is a large amount of private
capital belonging in that vicinity loaned
in other States, which rightfully should
be used in moving the crops Of West
Tennessee.
Previous to the war if the planter had
his barns, gin-houses, or mill destroyed,
he found no difficulty in going with good
endorsements to the old Banks and Dor
rowing to supply his needs until he could
get his crop into market Now his only
chance TO borrow is to go to National
Bank. deposit gold or government bonds
as collateral, and then by paying about
twelve per cent, he may obtain a small
loan for sixty days. The laws of Con
cress prohibit the old Banks from
coming into competition with the National
Banks. and the laws Of The State prohibit
competition from private capital. The
planters need capital 10 rebuild their houses
and fences; the grain and provision mer-
chants need capital to bring forward the
planters crops: the manufacturer and
miner need capital TO develop the resources
Of The State. L is not the man who needs
money that is opposed TO conventional
rorto, of interest; bat .he asurer, the

money-lender, who defies tie law and
makes the borrower pay for the risk which
the lender takes.
We do not undertake to say that
money is like other property, and to be
dealt with accordingly in legislation.
We do not undertake to say that the con-
ventional rate of interest should be I'm
limited; but what we do say is that the
existence of the present National Bank
monopoly, sustained and supported by the
legislation of Congress, is an evil of such
potent influence as to require liberal legis-
lation to induce private capital to enter
the field of competition.
This subject is attracting considerable
attention in Kentucky. We find an edi-
torial in the Courier Journal from which
we make the following extract:
The low rate of interest has sent, is now
sending, and will send, during the exist
ence of the present interest laws, the
larger part of the capital of Kentucky in
to other States for investment, where the
rate is more remuneratiYe. Not less than
$l65, 900 have left Boyle county alone,
for investment in Missouri bonds, during
last year. This amount, if not more, an
nually leaves Louisville, and the banks
alone having any capital upon which to
trade, we invariably have g stringent
market for money every fall, which is
usually attributed to the pork trade. This
is the gravest possible error, and one con-
tinually occurring. The true source of
this annual financial trouble is the legal
rate of interest In the State which drives
capital from her places to seek investment
elsewhere whenever anything like an ex-
cess happens to be In individual hands.
The private persons of the communi-
ty do not have it because they made
investment of their spsre capital, and the
banks, knowing the wants and custom of
the pork trade, make almost every interest
bend and give way to that, but, if the le-
gal interest were at figure which would
detain or invest our capital at homo, what
the latter could not easily supply to the
various parties who need mora money in
their business the former could at once
furnish. It is especially to the interest,
financial as well as commercial, of this
city that the interest bill should be passed
by the present Legislature. There is no
possibility of cavil or doubt to a reflective
mind that the interest and advancement Of
Louisville is checked and injured by the
present rate of interest in the common
wealth. And what is true of this city in
all her business relations is true and ap-
plicable to every county in Kentucky
where money is in such quantities as to
make lending of it for trade a means of
income.

NATIONAL BANKS LIQUIDATING

The books of the Treasury Department
show that there are a considerable num-
Der of National Banks, with an outstand-

liquidation. They are recipients of all
the advantages of National Banks, but are
not subject to the conditions aud restric-

The Presidents brOther-in-laW was be
fore Gen. Garfield's committee to-day, for
over four hours. He was subjected to a
rigid examination, and the committee,
understanding the whole subject from the
beginning to the end, began at the first
operation in September, and followed the
course of events down until the culmina-
ton of the Wall street panic. Corbin was
also questioned in the light of Fisk and
Gould's previous testimony, in the hands
Of the committee. After leaving the
committee room he said that he showed
to the committee, and he thinks to
the members satisfaction, that the
President had nothing TO do with the
panic, and did not know that any scheme
was in progress or under consideration.
He also believes the committee are fully
convinced, and viii so report, that Mrs.
Grant and Mrs. COrbin were not in any
way concerned in the scheme to increase
the rate in gold, and did not know of it
nor participate in any conference. To
discredit Fisk's testimony, he exhibited
letters. documents, bank books, checks,
etc, covering all the time under considera-
ton. He gave history of the move
ment and his action therein, to raise the
price of gold, and admitted that he had
weakness for making money, in common
with mankind. With reference to the
letter to the President, which he dis
patched TO Washington, Pennsylva-
MIA, by hand, there was nothing in that
letter that could not, with propriety, be
read at town meeting, but he declined
to say whether he gave a copy of the let
ter, or IFS substance, to the committee.
He said he had probably deceived people,
as is common in Wall street 1t was part |
of the business Of money making. He
acknowledged that he had mislead people,
but denied that he had used The President
