THE Nashville Union and Amerl

State warrants are very dull, and
large lots would not sell at over 81@
93c. The cause assigned by brokers
for this decline is the Interpretation
given by the State authorities to the
funding bill. According to the opin-
ion of the Governor, Comptroller and
Treasurer, all funds received into the
State treasury are to be set aside and
appropriated to the payment of the in
terst on the funded bonds, If this
opinion is aphered to, the brokers say
the market will be flooded with war
rants. as no one can draw money from
the treasury that the Judges, Clerks,
Jailors, the Hospital for the Insane,
the Blind Asylum, the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum, will all have to wait, and will
be forced to put their warrants on the
market. We are informed that the
construction of the funding bill, as
far as this question is concerned, has
been referred to the Attorney General,
and We will soon know whether the
State credit at home will decline or
not.

THE Massachusetts legislature ad-
heres to its censure of Sumner for an
effort to bridge the chasm by having
the name of battle fields erased from

the refusal to expunge it; but we as
sure that venomous and hypoeritical
element of the Radical party that the
South asks nothing on the score
of the names of battlefelds and

The failure of the Senate to seat
the mulatto Pinchback, has created
quite a stir among the darkies, of
Louisiana. They ascribe the MONACO
ton of the Senate to disrelish for
official association wild gemmen of
color" and warn that august body of
whitewashers that they may feel them
selves constrained to withhold their
enlightened support from the Radical
party. They sagaciously charge that
party with being prompt enough to pass
civil-rights bills and to enforce social
equality in the South, but want none.
of it in thern."
The poor darkies Saxe been slew to
detect the fact that the Radicals-as
tie friends of the colored race are as
great a cheat as Credit Mobilier but
the discovery comes too late, and they
will yet learn that after helping that
party to overthrow the government,
they. the darkies, will be told to take
back seats. The Radical scheme
having been accomplished, the negroes
will be informed that the empire is
white mans government and, if not re-
manded to slavery, they will be re-
minded that it is with them, thence
forward, root hog or die" The ne
srees ought to know that there is no
social equality between the races in the
North, which proves the hypocrisy of
the Radical party, and that all its
boosted devotion to that absurd theory
means nothing but a cowardly and
Malicious purpose to insult and de-
grade the South. Insult it, they may,
but the degradation rests upon the
Radical party and their treachery and
infamy viii yet become patent to the
deluded wards of the government.

therefore made foreign country the
scene of his grand achievement-tak-

IT will be admitted, by rejecting
persons, that the power of the Press
to do good, depends upon its truth and
fair dealing. With these, moderate
talents can do much to enlighten the

ability, the more pernicious its infiu-

and propagating dangerous errors
Ordinary minds may make bold asser-
tons, and misrepresent facts, which
assertions, unnoticed, will refute them-

lacks genius to give them plausihShty.
Such men are harmless as conductors

ability that can give to falsehood the

WE infer from the news under the
head of Spain, that our enlightened
government was a little swift in its
recognition of the Spanish Republic.
The anarchy and extreme radicalism
which mark the progress of events in
that beDighted country hold out about
as much hope of an eventful Republic
as our own corrupt government. The
despotism already existing here should
have shamed the authorities at Wash
ington, out of making a hypocritical
pretence of favoring free government
anywhere We wish Spain may sue
coed in shaking off the tyranny that
has so long crushed its energies and
aspirations and that it may never reach
the lower depths of puritan corruption
already reached in this land of boosted
freedom and Christian enlightenment.

MONTICELLO IN LITIGATIoN-A CoMPII-
GATED CAsE.-The former home Of Thomas
Jefferson, located on the Monticello mountain.
near Charlottesville, Albemarle county, Virginia
is in litigation at present before the Supreme
Court Of Virginia. 1t is we'll known that Mr..
Jefferson expended large fortune in lavish
hospitality and died poor. Monticello,hi his estate
was sold and purchased by Commodore Levy of
the United States Navy. Commodore Levy
devised his estate at his death to the United
States, as trustee, for the purpose of establishing
an agricultural farm on which to educate to
agricultural pursuits children of the warrant
officers Of the navy, whose fathers were dead.
In aid OF this scheme he also devised $500, 900
worth of property in New York In the event
Ofthe United States not accepting the trust, he
provided that the State Of Virginia should act as
the trustee for the purpose named. And in the
event Of the State Of Virginia not accepting the
the trust, he devised the property to the Portu.
guese Hebrew Congregations of New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, for the benefit OF
the children of those societies whose fathers
were dead. His legal heirs brought suit in New
York to set aside these provisions of the will.
The court in New York declared the charity
too indefinite, and that tho United States could
not take the property as trustee. Virginia not
being party TO that suit, instituted a suit for
its recovery as secondary trustee. The case is
at present being extensively argued in the
Supreme Court of Virginia, now IN session at
Richmond. Among the executors Of the will
are DIR. Joshua Cohen and Jacob l. Cohen, ol
Baltimore.
