THE GREENBACK RESERVE.
What the President has to say About II
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON Sent. 4:

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Sept. %. !
"Messrs. HI. b. Clafiin and Chas. L. An
thony: g.
"GENTLEMEN-In response to the
views you have communicated to me,
touching the present stringency in the
money market of the country, and the
necessary steps to restore confidence,
and legitimate trade and commerce,
[ have the honor to communicate the
following: The Government is de-
sirous of doing all in its power to re-
lieve the present unsettled condition
of business affairs, which is holding
back the immense resources of the
country, now awaiting transportation
to the seaboard and market. Conf
dence on the part of the people is the
first thing needed to relieve this con-
dition and avert this threatened de-
struction to business, with its accom-
panying disasters to all classes of peo-
Pile. To re-establish this feeling, the
Government is willing to take all legal
measures at its command, but it is
evident that no Government efforts
will avail without the active co-opera-
ton of the banks and moneyed cor
porations of the country. With the
fourteen millions already paid out in
purchase of Government indebted
ness, and the withdrawal of their large
deposits from the Treasury, the banks
are now strong enough to adopt lib
eral policy on their part, and by gen.
erous system of discounts to sustain
the business interests of the country.
Should such course be pursued, the
forty-four millions of reserve will be
considered as money in the Treasury
to meet the demands of public neoess-
ity as the circumstances of the country
may require. Close attention will be
given to the course pursued by those
who have the means at their command
of rendering all the aid necessary to
restore trade to its proper channel and
condition. With view of strength
ening the hands of those who carry
out the measures above indicated,
orders have already been issued for
the prepayment of the interest accru-
ing in November.
[Signed] u. S. GRANT"

The Nashville Banner says that if
either of the other parties imagine
that the Johnsonians, of fast year, can
be used as hewers of wood and draw
ers of water by them, they will wofully
miseonceive the truth of the situa-
ton" We can only answer that the
Conservatives of last year, did not SO
use them, and wish we could say that
the Radicals did not use them-not as
hewers of wood, but as wedge to rive
asunder the Conservative party.that
the Radicals might crawl through the
split thus made. Suppose however,
the Conservatives should declare,
through their organs, that they will
not be used as hewers of wood and
drawers of water, by the Johnsonians.
What Interpretation would be put up
on these mutual declarations, by all
honest Tennessee patriots2 Simply
that the two factions hate each other
more cordially than either does the
Radical party, or that both prefer the
blessings of Radical and negro rule to
that of native and adopted whites.
When patriotism is thus superseded
by partizan vindictiveness aud the
wisdom of true craftsmanship sue
cumbs to passion, the people have
reached the lowest point of incapacity
for self-government, and it matters
little who rules them, so the goad is
sharp enough to prick them into
consciousness of their degradation and
of the severity of the corrupt tyranny
they have reared upon the ruins Of
their liberty and prosperity.
If the Conservative party was muir
dered by the Johnsonians, last year,
we will not consort with its murderers,
and if there be no Conservative
party, we are ready to enlist as a
private, under any flag that promises
to lead us to victory over the open, or
secret enemies of the prosperity Of
Tennessee. We have mo axe to
grind" and whilst we are no wood
chopper for any faction, we will cor
daily support the nominees put for
ward by the people through Con-
vention of their choice.

Death of Col. Baldwin.

The sudden death Of Col John H.
Baldwin, Of Staunton, Va, causes pro-
found sorrow throughout the State.
Col. Baldwin was one of the most dis
tinguished lawyers and statesmen of
the Commonwealth. He was promi-
nent in the Legislature prior to the
war, commanded Confederate regi-
ment in West Virginia, and subse-
quently served in the Confederate Con-
gress. Since then he has been chiefly
engaged at the bar, but was Speaker of
the House of Delegates in 1866, and
was delegate to the New York and
Baltimore Democratic Conventions.
He was also a leading spirit of the new
movement of 1868 and 1869, by which
Virginia was rescued from the carpet
baggers.

Those Radical orators in the North
whose capital was the boasted pros.
perity of the country, secured by Rad
ical wisdom, are terribly puzzled, and
the want OF that same capital has pro-
duced a general suspension. Financial
crash gives the lie to all their boasts,
and so palpably is that trouble the
work of Radical misrule, that it spoils
even Morton's speeches, and if he
cannot lie out of the dilema, it is USE
less for inferior liars to attempt it.

THE talk of an extra session of Con-
gress, we think is altogether unauthor-
lied. Ifthere were not already enough
scoundrels in Washington even for
Grant, he might be induced to convoke
others from every point of the compass.
The financial muddle is damaging
enough to Radicalism withoutrunning
the risk offather injury that would fol-
low the action of such a body of
grabbers and swindlers.

the following telegram:
PARIS, Sept. 19-It is stated that
the French Government in compliance
with adyices it has received from com
petent authorities, has resolved to
carry out with great activity the exc
cution of general plan which will
bind together all the Notifications in
France, by CONNECTING them with Paris.
Ii Is In consequence of this resolution
that staff officers have been seen at
work on the chief heights lying within
Paris.
A Paris special says Cardinal Castor
de Bonnohase left ROuen yesterday on
a mission to Rome in connection with
the movement for the restoration Of
monarchy in France. His mission in
Rome is for the purpose of visiting
the Pope, and to extend to his high
ness an invitation to make a journey
to France to be present at the access
ion and to consecrate the Count de
Chambord as King Henry V. of
France. F9,
PARIS, Sept. 3O.-Count D'Cham-
bourd, in a letter to his supporters in
France, says his object is the union OF
parties in France and restoration Of
her glory, GREATNESS, and prosperity.
He denies his intention of introducing
extreme reactive measures, OF OF at

THE financial crash in New York is
said to have been precipitated by Jay
Cookies dealings with the Northern
Pacific Railroad. But whether it be
so, or not, it ought to teach the people
that government which stimulates
speculation, by its excessive extrava-
gance as well as its lavish appropria-
ton of the public lands and public
money for the advancement of the in
terests of private corporations, paves
the way to the foulest corruption and
arms capital with power to disturb the
course of trade and unsettle all CON-
mercial relations. And those who
blame Cooke and Clews for having
brought on the crash through their
own mismanagement, stop far short of
the true cause, which is to be found
in the corrupt administration of the
government. As to the effect of the
crash upon the general public by the
failure of few bloated capitalists, the
most serious results are the loss of
confidence, the decentralization which
follows the temptation to fraud in the
midst of such a panic and the losses
sustained by the farmers through the
depreciation in prices of their pro.
ducts. The amount of circulating
medium is not diminished by such
failures; it simply changes hands, and
no serious consequences would result
to the people, at large, but for the
reasons above given; but as those re-
suits will always follow such financial
panics, the people must guard against
them by securing wisdom in the ad-
ADMINISTRATION of their government. To
do this, the farmers must organize and
as the majority class, take the matter
in hand shut down upon professional
politicians, select honest representa-
tives, and keep them honest, by hold
ing them strictly responsible for the
manner in which they discharge their
| trusts.
