NA-uvn-i r, October . The town In
quiet to-dsy. Many of the mem ben, of
the Letfulature have (Pne to Franklin,
bore the elite of Maury, Williamson and
lsavidaon counties, with delegations from
e.'ery part of the State, have gathered to
do honor to the Agricultural Fair.
You eannot imagine how much these
fairs inspire the people of the rountry, or
how beneficial they prove In the promo
tion of that kind of intelligence in need
rf which our farmer have so-long stood.
frVoin what I can learn, this Williamson
fair ia success a grand success, such as
that of heel i ; ought to he. The bhow of
manufactured goods, agricultural Im
plement and farming products ia large,
and aueh as to reflect credit npon old Wil
liamson. The quiet that pervades the towm U felt
in p .litical rirclea, and the cliuues and
combination against Johnson are, for one
day. silent. I do not hear anything le
yond the simple asseveration by the
friends of the ex-President that no eom
t4us:icd can be made strong enough to
ruU him of! the t . k. The small men
(hat bare been pitted against him ar
the less hopeful of success their cases are
desperate, and Ihey clutch at every straw.
The Interests of Memphis are lieing well
attended to by her Industrious represen

Nashville, Wednesday morning. The
usury laws have iKvoinethemesof discus
sion in and outside the Legislature. In
rAcr that they may lie liheralli.-.l to the
vreaieat possible extent, and that aeon--venUoaai
rate may lie fixed at li! r cent.,
Mr. Towoaend has intnsluced a bill leav
ing it to le detlned solely by the parties to
ssiutracts. I was not a little aurprised lo
lincl Fast Tennessee ns aaeentini; to Mr.
Townseud's proposition. Hitherto Fast
Tei,nessee has been oposed to any ret .rm
in our stupid code affecting this question,
and there is little doubt that a conven
tional rate often or twelve per cent, will
be approved by the ileneral Assembly.
Illustrative of the disposition of the
ilonse to avoid partisan and angry discus
sions, a Mil assigning special seata
iu the gallery to colored citizens
was laid on the table by an almost
unanimous vote. An aged wiseacre and
Iieniocrat from this county sjte!y and
justly said that colored people have con
ducted themselves here with great pro
priety ; but few now enter the gallery ;thcy
egregaie theiuse'n es, of their own voli
tion, froattno whites; and there is no need,
until some offense, is committed or some
rule of propriety vitiated, for any action
o the proposition. It jnuperly went to
the tomb of forgotten follies in tagisla
lion, a mighty bone-yaid iu this city.
Oov. Senter's message U a marvel of
taste in letters. There are only one or two
I ertatl inaccuracies in this admirable State
liAper. 1 speak of it, mark you, as a lit
erary production. There are para
graph faultless iu terms, felicit
ous in exprmtiou and beautiful imagery.
When ue saw ijut, Siguier last HMMbbW,

To-day the interest that attahaa .0
f . w Hi-nter's message is only lessened uy
the anxiety incident t contradictory dis
patches from ilhio. If Pendleton te
fleeted he will surel be the next Demo
Tlic candidate for the Presidency, and
Packer will not again, as happened in
(he New York Jleuiocratic Convention,

poned that a great wight usurp
the place of a greater nai thst
Heyuiour might supplant the faull'asa

etuiut wield the power of Pennsylvania
at will, and must go down lo oblivion.
Neither wealth no genius can undo the
SMftfl done him by this defeat of yesterday.
I tit force of ids and of Seymour's fall
lifts Pendleton far above all other politi
cal philosophers of the day, and if the
uionev ed oligarchy. hich holds Amerieau
destinies In the hollow of its hand, suffers
us u elect another Prseideut, Pendleton's
local trnmph is a sure augury of victory
in the broSoU'r arena of a istntest (or the

It ia believed that Johnson will got 46
votes in the House on the first ballot, the
w bole number of votes being 140; M in the

"Johnson should represent the sove

which the harmony and usefulness of the
legislature might tie impaired. X.Y.Z.
SECOND LETTER.
Xahhvili.b, Wetlnrxlny night. Rain,
cold, mud, Etheridge, Johflson and the
Constitutional Amendment are themes of
dissuasion this dreary evening. The Han
iter, which, erstwhile, loved and admired
Johnson, is filled with execrations, and
Johnson so vilified that I, who never
voted for him, am constrained to say that
Sumner, Wilson, Phillips and tireeley
never knew how to abuse Andrew John
son. The task was achieved with infinite
skill by Oov. Foote, in the Banner. The
classical taste with which denunciation is
robed in verbiage which Addison and
Sterne might have envied, save that
they excelled in simplicity as Mr
Foote does in Johnsonian pomp
ous verbosity, indicated at once
the author of the Ranner't effusion. The
quotation from Juvenal, which serves as
a text for the discourse, ia reproduced by
Byron in the first stanza of his English
Bards and Scottish Reviewers. Byron
gives no credit to the Roman poet, and
vet the difference between the verse ot
the British Lord, and of the ancient
satirist, is simply that which separates
the English from the Roman tongue
The curious in auch matters are referred
to Juvenal, and to any edition of Bvron's
works, that this parallelism of ancient
and modern thought may Isj illustrated.
and to the published hiatorv of
Mrs. Surratt's trial for a refuta
tion of the gravest charge preferred
against Mr. Johnson. The application for
Mrs. Snrrstt's pardon, signed by members
of the Military Commission, was quietly
stowed away in a pigeon-hole by Stanton,
and the President never saw or heard of
it till after the execution. Radicalism
foand nothing to rondemn till the Presi
dent denounced its destructive public pol
icv. It is also a national fact in this dis
cussion that the majority of the Military
Commhision, which signed this petition
for executive clemency, only asked that
Mrs. Surratt's sentence should be com
muted from the death penalty to impris
onment for life. Jf you will read the lit
tle book published by Joe Holt at the
time, containing the luster' of the trial,
you will find in its pages no reference in
the proper place, to this application for
Andrew Johnson's Intervention in behalf
of the murdered woman. In truth, Holt
and Stanton did not intend that the Pres
ident should pardon Mrs. Surratt. It
might be added, just here, that Johnou
held his place at that time by a most
uncertain tenure. He was charged with
i-onnivaiwe to Mr. Lincoln's assassins.
Ue dared not, if lie had deemed it .:-:,
to ant to Sherman's plans of recon
struction. If he had pot leen suddenly
aud unexpectedly inaugurated, Grant
would have been declared dictator. John
son was forced to mot e the helm with the
softest toneh, and very slowly and skiil
fullv did he at last turn the bow towards
that haven of freedom and repose In bioh
the ship of State will yet be securely an
chored. Men who inveigh so bitterly
against Johnson's acts forget the circum
stances that environed him. The North
' BinbitteriHl against the so-called slave
aristocrat v, and that all might lie par
doned and the h'ottb at the u base
appeased, the g'ju.tMO clause was in
serted iu the atnuoaty proclamation.
Johnson did the utmost possible good for
the South, and if he had attempted i, .....
could have effect ed nothing.
Etheridge, as I telegraphed you yester
day, is sorely injured, perhaps by his own
present violent botiiit, to Johnson, per
haps iiu.re by the violence ol subi ot Ins
over-zealous frleuds, and even more by
those who only hate Johnson more tbau
they contemn Etheridge. Etheridge will
be sacrificed the very moment it is deemed
possible to elect any man whose political
history is wholly diiferent from his own,
and it is often s i.-i among unscn's op
ponents that the man who will be Senator
has uot yet been named in connection
with the place. I aiu of the opinion that
Johnson will be elected on the first or
second ballot. Most members ol the two
House object seriously lo any politest,
They want peace, quiet and devotion to
hard work, and whenever they are satis
lied, as they must be, that Johnson is
much strong l.'jan any present candi
date, they w ill couventraw ;;pon him.
Let me suggest another u. t;. i Thero
will be a thorough reformation
of courts in Memphis, a.. J a mighty,
sweeping reduction of salaries, SMM
state officers in Memphis simple clerks
absorb annually not less than 75,00Uof
tin. i i in. ,.:ev. The Sheriffs income
is enormous, wlicu tAd Legislature ad
journs there will be no officer iu 'eu
sce receiving a larger stipend ibaiiiio ,.
Seuter. Mark the prediction. Oulce
holderu, already alarmed, are engaged iu
smoothing over the extravagant acts,
incited by parit, favoritism, which en
riched Barbour Lewi ana a a;-my of
pjaceuieu. It is estimated that Ihe Hftale
will saye iext year in official salaries alone,
three bundled lbouand dollars. To this
consummation yourenator, Mr.f'ubbins,
directs earnest attention. No personal
influences can diver, hliu trolu his chosen
line of conduct. He has borne lusiid'era-
ia taxation long enough, and never ls
lievedthat Lublic ofH-es were created as
hospitals lor su;k pariy demagogues and
morally diseased leaders in H retched ward
meetings. There will soon lie waning
and gnashing of teeth wheu the liiiic
rings gather to consider the distribution
of the spoils about Memphis. Pity them!
ot, pity them! Their days of splendor
and glory ae M ijjorc.
The best thing, after li.ttf. alsive
considered, which will probably be
done by the Legislature, is the
unquaiided repeal of all x usury laws
Twenty mlllioMa of money will thus lie
brought into Tennessee or evoked from
its biding plait. Two millions of money
Ijelonging to Tennesseeans is now loaned
in other States. This will !si brought
home. Then, if Pendlelontriiimph in
Ohio am) Johnson Tennessee, capital
ists will ion van bond into railway
stocks, and every great Mouthern road
will be sjK-edily built. The Southern Pa
citlc will draw to it half the idle wealth
of bulls and bears in Wall street, and not
only our btate, but the whole country
will at .nee enter upon a new and grand
era of unprecedented prosperity.
The opposition to Johnson constantly
endeavors to concentrate Aral on one anil
leading Conservatives and Democrats, in
sist that Johnson must be elected, lie is
wanted in the Senate lo turn backward
the tide of Radical innovations, and pre
serve intaet what is left of constitutional
liberty. A true statesman and profound
thinker la needed In the great council
. .amber of American empire. Johnson,
Just now, Is peerless, and whatever his
faults, he has weathered a storm which
would have overwhelmed and destroyed
any other leader of parties or any law
giver of our day. X. Y. Z.
PROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.
Nashville, Oetober 13. Mr. Jones, of
Shelby, has pn .posed in the Ifonse to
abolish BarlKinr Lewis' Infamous court,
and re-establish the old magistrates'
court s. To the hitter branch of this prop
osition there is strong opposition
country magistrates there is no hostility,
but there are many in the city, and those
chosen by the worst class of voters, who
can never be trusted to manage the
finances of the county. It is, therefore,
proposed to reorganize Barbour Lewis'
court, and hare three tlrst-rato men put
upon the bench. Leonard, of course,
will be obliterated. He should retire now
before his little pate tails from his un
gainly shoulders. Messrs. Townsend and
Cubbins oppose the reorganization of the
old county court, for reasons above sug
gested. Many of the best business men
and citizens of Memphis have written to
Nashville approving their course.

FROM OfR EXCHANGES.
The St. Louis Republican says edltorial
lv, under the heading "The Tennessee
Senatorial Election:" This subject, which
excites a lively interest all over the coun
try, is the all-absorbing theme in Tennes
see. Mr. Johnson is thus far the strong
est aspirant to the place, with the best
chances of success. He is at Nashville
now. with his headquarters at the new
hotel lately opened, the Maxwell House,
and is electioneering with the Johnsoniaa
vigor aud skill that has never vet failti:
him in Tennessee. His rooms are there
sort every night of throngs of members of
t lie Legislature. A few days ago there
was placed on the desk of each Senator
and Representative, a package containing
the several veto messages which Mr. John
son had unsuccessfully opposed to the re
eonstruction scheme of Congress. Em
erson Ftheridg'? is the next leading aspi
rant, and, indeed, the contest lixs now
prettv well narrowed down to Johnson
and Etheridge. The latter is a man of first
rate ability, and large influence, and pos
sesses an electioneering capacity scarcely
inferior to that of his distinguished rivaf.
r.thertdge is trom West lennessee, and
the contest partakes largely of the old lo

The report says that the population o

may be taken as the same. According to

The North has outstripped the South iu

of immigration. Most, if not all of the
Southern Stales since the war, have
adapted measures for the encouragement
of loreign immigration. These measures
have lot been attended with much suc
cess, as the emigrating class of Europe is
wholly uninformed in regard to the
Southern States, and is from ignoranoe,
and in some sort of .misinformation,
greatly prejudiced sgainst them. This
ignontnee must be dispelled and preju

The Committee on Banking and Finance
made tho following report, upon which
action was postponed until Friday:
- "The conclusions ol your Committee
on Finance and Hanking are as follows:
" I. The wealth of a country consists
in the net value of its productions, and
all financial measures must be determined
in the light of this fact.
"2. Currency i uot a product of a
country, and is not property, but only a
medium to faclitate the exchange of prop
erty. "3 Currency values of property and an
irredeemable "curreney regulate them
selves by each other, so that, exoept tinn
liorarilv", the amount of irredeemable cur
rency n circulation In no manner rcgu
lates the ease of the mouey market or in
fluence tho rate of interest.
"4. An irredeemable currency retards
production, by the fact that It measures
(he valuo otpropei'ty so unsteadily aa tu
destroy conudeuce, and it prostrates in
dustry', unsettles society, and should
he and i; in be banished from the nation
exchanges: therefore.
Rraolietl, That Congress be requested
o enact at onue First, a free hanking
law, with tin 'lent and certain measures
for nroinnt redemntion of currency, with
a proviso that currency is to be issued
only as fast as legal tender notes are re
deemed and destroyed until special pay-tlM-'titsare
resumed. Second, direct, tltetieo-
retarr of the Treasury to cancel anil de
stroy all legal tender notes that civile into
bis possession a fast as the net means of
the Government will allow. Incase the
national bank currency is applied for
faster than it can be furnished under the
conditions here stated, the preference
to be given first to the South, and second
to the West, until the whole curreney in
circulation lieequaliaed upon the liaaia of
population. Third, direct the Secretary
of the Treasury to regulate all hm actions
bv the wants and necessities of the Gov
ernment, and leave the people to manage
their money markets ana tneir ousiness
in their own way.
Signed "J. M. RICHARHS,

The Chairman of the Committee on Mis
sissippi Leveea then submitted their re
port, action upon which, after a spirited
controversy, was postponed until 1'ridav
morning. The Jessential points in the re
port are as follows:
" The iniDortance ot devising a practi
cable plan for protecting the lands from
overflow, by a system ot levees, wan In
operation before the war, which afforded
tolerable protection; these have passed
away, and the soil remains as fertile as
before, and capable of almost Indefinite
production, with capacity to yield annu
ally more ef l he precious inetais than all of
the mines of the countrv together. How
shall this region he developed? How shall
the losses be rebuilt 7 Private enterprise
alone will attain these results. I hose
lands should tie reclaimed bv the aid of
joint stock companies, organized on the
principles that govern railroad compa
nies. Let each pound of cotton, or other
produce raised under protection of the
levee, be taxed, with every acre of avail
able land, and the company be authorized
to collect this tax, anil when built it
should be protected and maintained with
telegraphs, section masters, tug boats,
etc. In short, it should bj thor-
ughjy protected in seasons of high
water; and thus the lauds would
yield remunerative dividends to the
stockholders. The Committee would re
commend the favorable attention of Con-
gross to such isuupanies, if organized,
and would urge that thev be aided by the
i ivernnient, but they do not believe Hie
work can be done exclusively bv the
Federal or Slate Governments.
The Committee refers to the success of
he Pacific Railroad, and believes that
the next important work for Congress to
10 is to aid in developing the alluvial
lands of the lower Mississippi. They su li

iKW onK. October 12. The result n(
the panic are coming more and more to
ugni, showing the terrible agony it must
nave occasioned in some quarters. The
suicide of Ktlly Mitchell, the famous
liquor dealer, whose body was found lying
iu his popular saloou, almost entirely
eaten by rats, it now appears was caused
by heavy losses iu the New York Central,
which M preyed upon his mind that he
became tired of life. For years back, by
industry and ierseveranee, Mitchell had
iieeumuliited property valued at SOO,t)00,
and it was only during tho recent excite-
nient that ho entered upon Wall street
speculations with John Morrissev and
others, who also lost heavily, bnt had be
come accustomed to the tips and downs
wuii-u accompany stock speculations.
Corbin, President Grant's brother-in-law,
is no a really sick, consequent upon
the intense excitement nihowing the ex
pon of the last few days. Oreat fears are
enterlainou of his recovery. Rumors
about lien. Ibttlertietd, the Sub-Treasurer,
are flying about wlldlv through the
streets, and he is said to be' the only man
in the ring who reallvhas made any mon
ey, owing to a timely disposition of his
share previous to the break of the market
by his chief. A committee has left tor
Washington to urge his removal ; and
Grant will no doubt lie compelled to make
the uhange with the example of Chan
cellorsville before him, where ien. Hut
tertield, it was reported, would permit
no dispatch to leave the Held until he
made good his gold sales, The last but
not the least of the Important results of
the panic is, that Peter H. Sweeny and
Win. II. Tweed, the Tammany leaders,
are ready to break wtlh the Kriering, ow
ing lo 'lie combinations which have come
to light between Fisk ami Gould and
prominent Republican Treasury officials.
At the annual meeting of tho krie Road
Directors, to Is- held to-morrow, Swesnv
and Tweed will probably resltm, and the
result will be that at the next session of
the Leg! slat u,r.o, i!l acts passed last winter
favorable lc the Kriu will lie repealed.
The Democrats will certalnlv carry the
Slate wuti a heavy majority, and the Krie
Will then lm taken care of for nlavin-r In.

nW l.iKK, October II. Document
wore printed to-day, showing that Corbin
was once Chjfk nf the Omvimittee on
oiaitii:;, aud vi uiie th-rc blackmailed Mr.
S tmuel Liwrcuce, a woolen manufacturer!
of Massachusetts, qui of one thousand
dollar. The House of Representatives
ordered an investigation, and Corbin was
compelled to resign.
The documents are made up from the.
report of the commit te in laaa. When
Congress was BfcOtyi iev mg a heavy tax
on whisky, ; uruin was among the first to
leant tne purpose or the f i nance Commit
the information, at once ca,s.t about him
for opportunities to no iu by it. About
thisijmoUe vi-utsi New Viirfe with his
most ultima!.- friend, the Hon. John
Phelps, then memlier of Cungrnas from
Missouri, and by him was introduced to
Mr. Phelps' bruihnr-iu-law, Mr. Amos R.
Eno, a prominent merchant of this city,
and through Messrs. Phelps and Kno se
cured a valuable acquaintance in financial
and mercantile circles in the metropolis.
Having accomplished this purpose. UJs
next step was to combine bis; Congression
al information v, UU ids financial and mer-
i ne tiocmneut oo.n,tatns tne following:
"Wln-n Corbin determined tu change his
t;ise of nperaiions from Washington SS
New York, ho at once put hiselegaiu
mansion tn the former city In the market
for sale, but for a number of months was
unable to lind a purchaser at any price.
Indeed, though one of the most SJsassoiH
and elegant dwelling Iu Washington, its
locution wit undesirable, and, at tho time
of its ojW, O - iiin was uuabln to dispos
of it. At last lie nnprosched Con. Grant
with a proposition, nut (Irant urged thai
the value of tho house was beyor his
means, and declined to !...n,ie a uur-

ment would give him a belter house at
only one thousand live hundred dollars

he insisted, too muob, moiiev for him
to put u a house. At this point
i urbin suggested to Hillver that if
ilrsnt -would, juy the house the pub
lie would quickly help him pav for ii.
and pointed out the obligations the na
tion rested under tp, tiiu coiuiiiernr of the
rebellion, and ailded: 'You s.e (raut
a,;au,, ami get him to take the house, and
then wo will go to Ney York and raise
fund to pay for it.' Hillver went to (irant
with l lus suggest Ion anil found no dilli
etilly in inducing the General to accept
the proposition, it Isdng distinctly under
stood that Corbin would interest, hiniseit
in raising a testimonial tht weuld'enabio
the (ienera! tv, preitipily pay the mort
gagd. When these fire'lminnries were ar
ranged it wa found necessary lo come to
New York toexecute the papers, and lieu
('rant announced his intejttii.u to be iu

papers could be executed aud exchange..).

stopped at the Mntrapoiifun Hotel, where
he was at once besieged bv a crowd of vis
I tors, who would not be shaken off, in
deed, so great was the rush to see the herd
oi me war, mm it was found necessary in
go elsewhere to iransawt the- appointed
business. Aoourdtnujiv, an evening wa
6 when all interested should meet at Mr.
("Sorbin's bouse, on Twenty-svent h streei ,
and close the transaction. At the ap
pointed time there assembled at Mr. Cor
bin's nsrlors the following company;
lien. I . S. (Irani, Mr. Abel R. Corbin, aiid
Mrs. Corbin, (since deceased i. Mr. F. K.
Mathers, attorney for Mr. Corbin, Oen!
A. S. Hi'lyer, aunnipv for Oen. Oraut,
Judge Clark, of the Supreme Const, (by
invitation, to takn the necessary acknowl
edgments;, and Mr. Amos H. Kno, as
w itness to the paper. The papers having
l"en previously drawn and mutually ex
an.'ued by the attorneys of the two" con
tracting parties, were now formally read,
signed, sealed and delivered, and Oen
Orsnt became the owner in fee simpic,
and atisoluteof the Washington mansion,
and Mr. Corbin became the pessessor of a
mortgage upon the same for U0,000, with
interest at llmper cent. Within a very
few days after these occurrences, a com
mittee of pmmlnent gentlemen of wealth
assembled in a private room st the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, on the invitation of Mr.
Amos R, Eno, to consider the propriety of
making a testimonial presentation to Oen.
Orant. Who composed that mi pan v, or
ail that was said and done at that meet
ing, it is unnecessary now to rehearse.
It will be sulBeient to say that Mr. Abel
R. Corbin was not present; bnt Mr. A. R.
Eno was present, and was the leading
spirit of the meeting. When it was
urged by a prominent merchant. Presi
dent (irant s subsequent choice for
Secretary of tho Treasury, thai
the Oovernmenl should " reward
Oen. Grant ss the British Government
had rewarded the Duke or Wellington,
and that individuals ought not lobe called
upon for contributions to such a testimo
nial, Mr. Eno assented to that proposition,
on general principles, but remarked thai
as the Government would not or did not
take bold of the matter, It was the duty of
the citizens to do it; and remarked that
Gen. Grant was uow living In a bouse up
on which there was a mortgage ot thirty
thousand dollars. This hint produced a
telling effect upon the large hesrtetl
merchants and capitalists there assembled,
and It was determined to raise tSe mean
at once to pav off his moriuage. There
suit of the movement than and there in
augurated is well known. Not onlv w
