state Treasurer MerroW'S Inef-
fcctual Effort to Negotiate n
S3OO. 900 Lean,

The following communication was SUBJ
mitted to the Legislature a few days ago:
To the General assembly Of Tennessee:
L rave to report a failure to negotiate
the loan of 100000 authorized by joint
resolution of your Honorable body, for
the reason that l could not find any respon-
sible parties willing to lend US upon long
time, with bonds alone as collateral, with
out the passage of proper revenue laws
The publication of the notice that we would
resist all bonds illegally issued operated
very greatly to impair faith in our future
good intentions, and although the present
price of u bonds has not been changed
very materially, yet they are not available
as a basis upon which to effect long loans
they argue that q State which owes near
$50, 0OO, 900 in bonds, and will not pass
laws sufficient to defray current home ex-
penses, does not intend to pay bonds or in
terest, and money can not be had upon
them, except from parties who would take
them at about 40 cents, theu sell our bonds
and lend a part of the proceeds, keeping
wide margin in their own hands; then
when we got ready to pay back the money
borrowed, we should probably have trouble
in finding the bonds. L did not suppose
the Legislature contemplated such a loan.
and l avoided all such. Sought response
| bic parties who would accommodate us,
but without success.
The loan we now owe in n. York would
not have been pressed had we given an in
dication of future ability to pay. But
seeing that we had nothing with which to
pay, and were not expecting to pay ex-
cept by borrowing, they decided to de-
mand payment. We have until February
1st, an extension of one month, to meet
this, and will arrange it some how or 9TH
er, but the passage of the Senate tax bill
so cents-would place it in our power
to save this loan and get what money we
need. When we show a disposition to
help ourselves by imposing a proper tax
we have no further trouble.
herewith in this connection present an
estimate of the demands upon the treasury
for 1870 and 1871, remarking that it is
not a fancy estimate, but really under the
actual amount: aT-,rs8 a.s

to the whole community.
GREEN BAY, Wis, Oct. 18th. 1871.
H. T. HUBBARD. G. r.
DEAR BROTHER Your suggestions
are good and thankfully received, because
they confirm what has been done. Being
in such close proximity to the fearful dis
aster which swept almost clean of houses
and personal property, both shores of
Green Bay, I could but feel keenly and
act vigorously to afford temporary relief
to the thousands of sufferers on our
shores, 80 much as to disqualify for
sober thought and also being constantly
away down the shore, experimenting
relief work. l wrote to Brother Hills to
prepare such circular as he thought the
occasion demanded, and send it forth to
the Lodges. He has no doubt ere this
got it into the mails and will soon reach
the Lodges.
Our citizens first put me on the Relief
Committee, and now las if that was not
enough with all my other Guties) General
Superintendent of relief So that have
about all can attend to. I have receiv-
ed and forwarded over SO car loads of
Relief stores already, and 25 cars now on
the track. Truly this is wonderful peo-
pie, generous to a fault
The Lodge here has issued circular
in behalf Of the Peshtigo Lodge, who
had about 40 Brothers left destitute of
everything. Two Brothers we're burned
One lost his wife and five children in the
FIRE, and he is now here in the Hospital,

Ed. TRIBUNE thinking that from
destruction made by the recent fires in
the northern counties Of this State and
the destitute condition of hundreds of
families who have lost their all by the
devouring elements. and except for the
charity of the BENEVOLENT, must suffer
the coming winter, it bchoves us out of
our abundance, to contribute to their
wants and knowing that everything is
needed, grain aud provisions ofall kinds,
and clothing az well as money. | would
suggest through the medium of your
paper, that Relief Society be organized
in each town in this county, AMI that the
Society, if not organized before, be Or
ganized on election day, and thatsubscrip-
ton be taken on that day. at the Poll room
of each town and that places be fixed
upon, for the delivery of all donations in
grain and provisions and that committees
be appointed to forward the donations.

ii. H. MARKHAM our old friend and
former co-resdent has met with quite a
serious accident. The Sentinel re ports it
as follows:
IA very singular accident occurred at
Muskegon Lake, yesterday, by which H
ii. Mark ham, Esq, of this city, was Sc
rlously injured. He had hired boat.
and, in company with another friend had
started ont to spend the day i'm hunting
ducks, which are quite numerous in that
vicinity. Their powder was stored in a
kerosene can, which was placed under a
seat in the middle Of the boat, their load
ed guns occupying places at either end.
In moving to new point, one of the
guns fell, discharging its contents into
the can, which exploded and blew the
boat to fragments. The gentlemen we're
thrown into the water, which, fortunate
y Tor them, was not very deep MIR.
Markham s face was marked with pow
der, and his eyes fairly closed by the ex-
ploslon. His companion escaped with
out injury. The gentlemen remained in
the water one hour before assistance
reached them.
On Mr.. Markham arrival, he was
conveyed to his residence on the South
Side. where Dr. Houghman, of the Eye
and Ear Clinic, made careful examina
ton of his eyes and expressed no doubt
that his sight could be saved. Both gen
tlemen had a very narrow escape from
| instant death.

Mr.. DANFoRTH, of Meeme, makes a
very sensible suggestion, for the furnish
ing of aid to the destitute by the late
fires; which We hope will be complied
with in time for the next election. If
the present officers Of each town will take
the matter in hand, we may expect a
grand success. Gentlemen apply your
best efforts in this matter; our ladies do
not need to be reminded.
