Sherman replied that he could substanti-

resolution, which asserts in effect, the sub
version by armed, disguised and lawless
men, mainly soldiers of the late rebel
armies. of all civil authority, in large
parts of the late insurrectionary States

The Roads.

The great railroad suit-in one branch
of it, at least-has been greatly simplified
in the last day or two. The court has
overruled the formal exceptions made by
three companies, and and the minimum
price fixed by the Clerk and Master has
been affirmed by the Chancellor. and the
proper decree issued. so hat the following
roads are appraised at the sums attached
The Rogersville and Jefferson Railroad, in
State bonds with coupons up to January 1,
1871, at S125,O00; the Knoxville and
Kentucky Railroad at 1929 in State
bonds with coupons above, or the cash val
ue, taken from the quotations of Tennes-
see bonds at GAL cents, S573,43125; the
Knoxville and Charleston at S309, 600 in
bonds, or $19S,432 so in cash.
The companies under the ruling of the
court will have ninety days grace to take
the roads at these prices. If not taken by
that time and such payment and security
rendered as shall satisfy the court, the
roads will be sold by the Commissioners APP
pointed in the act of the Legislature. We
understand that there is strong probability
that these roads will be taken up by the
companies and it is almost certain that
several other roads will be disposed of in
the same manner.-Banner.

The ExiIed Emperor Napoleon.

A correspondent of a New York jour-
nal says that Napoleon intends moving his
household to America shortly, and that
Eugene is already preparing to depart
from England for New York as the adj
vance guard of the imperial emigration
His recent highness and the ex-prince i'm
perial will bring up the rear in time. Just
previous to the breaking out of the war it
is stated that Napoleon had caused large
investments to be made in New York on
his account, but whether this statement,
added to the other, amounts to anything,
though both arc on the usual ''best author
Ity'' of correspondents, is a matter which
one can accept or not, as he may.

was unable to do so. His little compan-
