Some of the advantages of the recent elect
ion to the Southern States are illustrated by
what is happening in Tennessee. In that
State seven Of the tan Congressman returned
are Republicans, and the Democratic majority
is reduced to about eight thousand, while the
majority in the Legislature is so small as to be
worth little to the party. The rule of tbs
aConseryatiyes" is overthrown, and the people
of the State already begin to agitate improve
nents in education and schemes for promoting
immigration to the State. Not only is the
future of the South settled by the election, but
it is settled for good. "a '--'.'--
Senator Coles bill, offered in the Senate
Friday, to replace National Bank notes with
U. S. notes, provides that whenever and as
often as the notesof any one of such NationsI
Banks to the amount of 5000 shall accumulate
in the Treasury, and after thirty days notice
thereof to such bank interest shall cease and
be suspended upon 81 900 of the United States
bonds deposited in the Treasury to the credit
of such bank as security for its circulation,
until such bank shall return said bonds by the
payment Of $500 in current money into the
Treasury of the United States.
Accordin to the census for 1870, the Meth
odists of the United States are the richest Of
the religious denominations, and hold property
worth nearly s70O0O.OOO The Roman Catho-
lies are ten millions behind the Methodists in
worldly possessions. The Presbyterians own
churches worth about ferty-eight millions and
half. The Baptist scarcely claim moro than
forty one millions and half of dollars TIE
Episcopalians, supposed to be in cities anon g
the richestof the sects, own in church proper
ty bnt little more than thirty-six millions and
a half, although they are considerably richer
than the Congregationalists, and have more
than two dollars for one Of the Lutherians
Ward Hunt, whom President Grant has
nominated to fill the vacancy on the Supreme
Bench of the United States, caused by the res
ignation of Judge Nelson, was born in Utica,
n. Y, on the I4th of June, 1910, and is nov
sixty-two years of age. He graduated from
Union College in 1928, and studied law with
Judge James Gould, ofGincinnati In 1882
he entered into partnership gith Judge Dence
Of Utica. He was elected 70 the New York
Assembly as a Democrat in 1888, and elected
Mayor of Utica in 1874 He Joined the Re
publican party in 1856. In 1865 he was elected
Judge of the Court of Appeals, becoming
Chief Judge in 1868. He is now Commission.
er Of Appeals in the State Of New York. His
appointment is highly commended by all who
know him. Y
Two rumors are current with regard to the
New York Tribune. The first is that the
Harper Brothers have offered $1,000, 600 for
the entire concern, and that the Company is
now seriously considering the proposal. The
second report. which comes strongly authenti-
Gated from Washington, is that the chair Of
Mr.. Greeley is now offered with. large salary
to Vice-President Collar, and that many IN
fuentiaI Republicans are strongly urging him
to accept. The anxiety of the Tfi5ape Com
pany to secure MIR. Colfax's acceptance of
this position shows how eager they are to
have some announcement to make to their
readers which may prevent the hopeless falling
Of Of their circulation at the closeof the pres
ent years subscriptions. The whole purpose
of the Tribune managers is to get back into
the Republican party at the earliest moment.
Mr.. Colfax could not, Of course, accept the
editorship of the Tribune before the 4th Of
March next, but meantime his engagement
could be used as an evidence Of the papers
change offront since the election. : Whether
the plan will work remains to be seeu.

An incident, related by the Philadelphia In
,uiyer, connected with the obsequies of Hor
.ce Greeley, is worth putting upon record as
Illustrative of the love that the dead journalist
