and it has been discovered at the Treas
ury Department that some ofthcse banks
have advised their depositors, who are
holders of six per cents, to keep them.
Though these National banks are the
creation of the G6vernment it is from
them that the most serious impedimcnts
to the success Of the new loan have been
met with.
A Washington special says it is now
known here upon semi-OficiI authority,
that the Commissioner Of Internal Rev

handed in it was accepted by the Presi-

to make another selection. No II has

No Blame Attached.

We learn from om Nashville exchanges
that no blame attaches to the officers of
the Nashville and Northwestern Rail
road, in connection with the late terrible
tragedy enacted thereon. Although the
timbors supporting the bridge which
fell through, carrying death to so many
souls and dcsolation to SO many hearts,
were, when infinitely dissocted, found to
be rotten in the centre, for four or five
inches on the outside, as was ascertain
ed by boring with an auger, they were
perfectly sound. The timbcrs were of a
certain kind Of pine wood, brought from
Ohio, the average staunchuess of which
was ten years. This bridge had only
been built seven years, and was not con
sidered by railroad mon as in the least
dangerous for three years to come. One
Of the most practical bridge men of the
Stale had but II few days before made a
thorough examination of all the bridges
on this hnc, and reported this identical

Editor S,nrtwaicr Enterprise:
DEAR SIR IL nOtieesthat one Jesse F.
Owen comes out in your issue of June 30,
with a very remarkable ebullition Of love
and affection for what he claims to have
done as a legislator; aud therein alludes
to me very ankindly.
Now, as to Jesse, | beg leave to say
that should he, 10. my knowledge, be in
danger. Of p~eeaniary loss, I should warn
him of it. Should he be in, danger of
death or great bodily harm at the hands
of any one, and the fnct came to my
knowledge, lWould hasten to inform him
thereof. Should l be present, and an at
tempt should be made upon his life, /
would aid him against such attack at the
risk of my " safety. y ~
But, vet, Jesse certainly cannot expect
that | will let myself down so far as to
reply in the public prints to any of his
puerile missives. And if he does 50 sup
pose it is his own fault aud c~onecit, for l
have dune nOthinglto encourage hun SOTO
believe. laA

lively lcfqsc to encounter him on the lit.

OF eQnrse, the principal source Of in

h~attapoqge Tines One day that pa
en- il mos sanguias as 80 ae ability
and purpose OF M, Stanton the Gems
eral Superintendent, to pay off the en-
kployees of the road, and secure the reg
ular running of the trains on schedule
time, and the next it comes out in a
string of idiotic invcctiyes against the
Bentlemanin@whem ii reposed so much
confidence but tho day before. From
what We can gather, from sources other
than the Times, and, doubtless, more
lreliable,5 We think the case stands about
this; Mr.. Stanton, without tho cordial
cooperation he should have received,
built and equipped this road, secured a
remunerativc contract for conveying over
it the United States Mails, and, at the
last moment, when success had just be-
gun to crown his heruulean effort, he
found himself trmmmelled by the ill-ad-
aYised mode Of procedure of u class of
creditors Of the road OF course, in the
progress and contamination of so 81
gantic an enterprise, the road was neces-
-
sarily compelled to incur liabilities.
But contrary to I'LL public expectations
and with suicidal policy, some Of its
creditors sued out m attachment ON its
rolling stock, and, until quite recently,
had it locked up by the strong urn of
the law. Like the indomitablo and
public Lencfactor That he is, Mr., Stanton
never ceased his efforts until he had
again recovered entire management, and
placed his road in condition to earn the
necessary net profits to pay of its more
pressing indebtedness.
Up to this time, the Chattanooga
Times had given to Mr.. Stanton tsmost
unqualified endorsement. Suddenly, it
turns square around and denounces that
gentleman. And its reason for 50 doing,
us plainly intimated, was the refusal of
the, superintendent to grant the editor
of that sheet, aprivate interview. Prob
ably, the reason Of that refusal lay in
that Mr.. Stanton knew the editor to have
been at one time IN officer in n negro
regiment; to have been ut one time the
oracle Of the Union League ut Chatta-
noogA; to have been at one time % bla-
tant Rndical-and now to be, ostonsibly,
the organ of Democracy. Probably, too,
he saw then, what all see now-that the
Chattanooga Daily Times is thought to
be turning over to the Radical party
again, MS fast as possible. He recog-
nizcd, without doubt, the fact that the
Times editor, along with other hypocrit-
ical p~retonders from the wooden nutmeg
region, was destined to very 500 "play
out and, therefore did not wish to dig
nifty him with a hearing.

Then, the next day, We visited the PEN

shall concentrating: 2
WHEREAS, On the 18th day of jane,
1871, i'll the Supreme Court, District of
Columbia, holding II criminal term, one
&. G. Bowen was convicted of bigamy
and sentenced to be imprisoned for two
years and pay $3.50 fine; and
WHEREAS, it is represented that he was
innocent of amy violation of law; that he
acted in good faith, believing his former
wife to be dead, and it appears that he
rendered good services to the cause of
the Union during the rebellion and since
its termination, and has endeavorod to
lead an honest and upright life, and for
these reasons eleven Of the jurors who
found the verdict against him, and many
other citizens of highest considerations
and weight, urge his pardon, and the
United States Attorney Fisher would be
gratitod by the exercise OF the Executive
clemency.
Now, therefore be it known that I, U.
S. Grant, President of tho United States
of America, i'll consideration of the pro-
misses and divers other good and sufh-

hereby grant to said G. G. Bowen full

the first five months of 1871, and to IA
further assessment made ON dividends
for the same period. Concerning this
the Attorney Of the road made applica-
ton TO the Secretary of the Treasury
for a remission of said taxes, amounting
to $122,321, and request is made to the
Commissioner that collection of revenue
be stayed until the question Of liability
has been decided upon said appeal and
application for remission. In view of
special instructions of the Secretary of
the Treasury previously issued, the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue does not
deem it proper to grant the request.
Instructions Of the Secretary referred to
were issued May 16 last, and concerned

Suddenly, as each familiar note of the

unbounded. Next to us sat the brother
of the almost immortal composer, Ste

notes arose, he stretched forward, and
leaning upon his arms drank in all that
the fair nightingale offered. She rem
dered the good, dear old song faithfully.
Many eyes were dimmed many hearts

best TO realize the heavenly melody of

HOW ADAM AND EVE LIVED,

Somebody man, of course-in
qnires why, when Eve was manufacture
ed from the spare rib, servant wasn't
made at the same time to wait on her
Somebody elsa woman, we imagine
replies in the following strain: Be-
cause Adam never came whining at Eve,
with ragged stocking to be darned,
collar string to be sewed on, or a glove
10 mend, "right-quick-now Be-
cause he never read the newspapers I'M
til the sun got down behind the palm
trees, and then stretching himself,
yawned out-"ain't supper most ready,
my dear? z" Not he. He made the fire
and hung the kettle over it himself,
well venture, and pulled the radishes,
peeled the potatoes, and everything else
he ought to do. Henever brought home
q dozen friends to dinner, when Eve
hadn't any fresh pomegranates and the
mango season was over. He never stay
ed out till eleven o'clock to a ward
meeting, hurraying for an out and-out
candidate and then scolded because
poor Eve was sitting up an crying in
side the gates; never played billiards,
rolled ten pins and drove fast horses
nor choked Eve with cigar smoke. He
never loafed around corner groceries
while Eve was rocking Gains cradle at
home. In short, he didn't think she
was specially created for the purpose of
waiting on him, and wasn't under the
impression that it disgraced a man to
tighten wife's cares. That's the rea-
son that Eve did not need a hired girl,
and the reason that her fair descendants
do
