this advertisement from London,
we are in receipt OF circular cN-
planning the purposes and plans OF
the Confederate States Bond holders
Committee, from which it will be
seen that they are very sanguine OF

ment, and rely upon what they term
a returning sense of justice on the
part of the northern states. How
intelligent fnanciers can lend them
selves to so chimerical a scheme
passes all comprehension. They
might just as well resurrect the debt
incurred by Pharaoh in pursuing
the runaway Jews and ask the
khedive TO recognize it. as part Of
the debt of modern Egypt, as TO

We hope the people of Tennessee
will read carefully the testimony in
the investigation set on foot by the
low tax short ring. Let them re
fleet whether the state can stand re
pudiation when it brings about such
terrible results. The state can
better pay twice the amount
of its entire debt than to have
society utterly demoralized. When
the pending suit was brought we
told the people of Tennessee it was
not great political suit, based upon
principle, in order to preserve or
secure their rights, but the act of
speculative short ring. The testi-
mony proves our statement true
Do the people of Tennessee suppose
good can come of what is shown to
have been founded in evil? Upon
this testimony we do not desire now
to comment. 1t shows for itself.
Let the public read it, ponder it, re
fleet upon it, draw such conclusions
as the calm judgment of honest men
must draw American.

The Chinese Military Lender.


Tso-Tsung- Tang, viceroy of the pro-
vince of Fool1en, with about forty mil
lion inhabitants, who is the present OBJ
iect of Russia's chief thoughts and fears,
is an excellent general, thoroughly CON
versant with European tactics. 1t was
his generalship which subdued the Taip-
ing rebellion, ana the Nien-fel insurrec-
ton was crushed by him in person. He
is the recognized head of the anti-Rus-
sian war party in China, to whom all mil
itary and naval improvements are more
or less owing. He reconquered Kashgar,
commanded the integral retrocession of
Kuldja, and upon his own authority ar
rested the unfortunate Chung How, am
bassador to ST. Petersburg, and sent him
in chains to Pekin under sentence of de-
capitation. Tso-Tsung-Tan is now in
Kuldja, with an army brought over
thousands of miles of deserts, awaiting
the Russians.

RECENTLY, at All alleged spiritual
seance, the spirit that once animated
the late senator Chandler, of Mich
igan, was said to be present, and,
the question turning upon the critl-
cal condition of President Garfield,
the ghost of Old lack made it
known that Mr.. Lincoln, Mr.. Stanton,
ex-vice president Wilson, and Others
had just returned from the White
House. where they had been to ex-
anime the president. The spirits then
and there assembled agreed that it
was quite important for the president
to recover, because, among other
reasons, that vice president Arthur
was an alien, and, therefore, debar-
red by the constitution from holding
the Office of president in case of the
presidents death. AS all of these
gentlemen departed this life some
years ago, it is not supposed that
they have the latest information, but
it is well understood among the In
habitants of this mundane establish
ment that Mr.. Arthur is not an alien,
he having been born in the state of
Vermont, and is, therefore, eligible
to the office of president.

President Ga1field's Condition.

GAN even chance for recovery is
the sum total of the medical experts
opinion of the Presidents case the
past few days. The stomach of the
patient has given out and cannot
receive food, which is an extremely
grave condition. While the feet of
the wounded man may now be tread
ing the valley of the shadow of
death, there is at the same time San
even chance" the balance held by
Him whose are the issues of life and
death. The wound gives no more
trouble, yet from latest dispatches
we are warned that at any time the
worst may come.

GENERAL DUDLEY, the new COM
missioner of pensions, has just issu
ed the following order which is very
important to applicants forpensions:
"In all pension claims wherein more
than one disability is alleged, the
claimant shall be advised, upon the
completion of the proof Of any one
of the alleged disabilities, of the
evidence still nescessary to the estab-
lislm of the others; and that the
office, on request therefor, will issue
certificate for the disability thus
established without prejudice to any
rights he may have on account of the
disabilities then not proven" The
practice prevailing heretofore has
been that all of the allegations must
be proved before pension will be
allowed for any, and under this rul
ing much hardship has often been
the result.
