SIR-YOur dispatch of yesterday has
been received and referred to the United
States district attorney for the western
district of Tennessee tor report, as there
il now no official information Of his
proceedings here. When his report is
answer or have the Attorney Gen.
eral do so. l will state, however. that
it is very gratifying to know that the State
authorities Of Tennessee are disposed tn
suppress and punish class of lawless acts
80 dangerous to life, and SO opposed to
every political, financial and moral interest
of the State: but the constitution makes it
my duty to enforce the acts Of Congress.
and Congress has passed laws giving the
United States jurisdiction in such cases as
are referred to in your dispatches. No
special order has been given to the federal
officials in Tennessee. further than the
circular of September 3 of the Attorney
General, which is general in its nature. ami
constitutes instructions to all marshals and
the said acts may occur. ! will add that
the State and general governments. as you
| are vel! aware. may have concurrent iuris.
dictiOn over the same Otfense. as for exam.
pie. in the case OF cOunterfeiting. and tho
action of the State authorities in such cases
does not prevent the general government
| from proceeding against the offenders.
