Don Piatt, in a recent letter from
Washington to the Cincinnati 0,i

tators in the paliery of the House were
called upon, separately, to poiut out,
in the crowd of members below, the

This is the Hon. W. J. Smith, of
the tiglnh District of Tennessee, com
mon !v called, where he is best or
worst known, "Old Jerusalem." His
political career, lately investigated and
about to te published byiiiellou-e
Committee on Elections, one of the
"mo-t extraordinary ever known,

patriotic Solon would now, in ali
probability, lie in durance vile, in
stead of aartiaw as a light from Ten
nessee in the Congress of the United
Suites.
Esuping the absurd formalities of
military law, our hero afterward fig
ured as Major ot the regiment, and, in
the alenee of his superior officers,
signed himself, luminously, a-tin
Lieutenant-Colonel. As acting Lieutenant-Colonel,
however, heeoiitinaed
hi- y-tem of peeuliar annttaB, BUM to
robbing a church. But the church
was of the Methodist Church South,
long betas given over to the devil,
and, then-fore, a proper subject for a
forcitl loan.
The war being ended, an .l the great
State under proeesa ol reconstruction,
sanctioned, guided and controlled iy
the pious Bro wnlow. Old Jerasdem
had himself return -d to the Leffisbv
ture by hi- own gallant regiment, and
appeared iu that august body, a
Smith, of Hardeman.
AS A l.EGISI.ATOIl.
He lKnied up larger as a law-maker
than he had as a military law
breaker. The bills he introduced were
numerous, and. looking to the public
good generally, kept Old Jerusalem's
interests in view all the time.
t ne biil, passed to a law, creabtl
an im mouse freight company for the
cityot Memphis. Memphis had suf
taed during the war to such an ex
tent that -he was aetually without a
freight e impatiy. Smith, of Hartle
mau, made one. It was iunneuse. It
was so gr-at that no 'other com pa ny
was thought to be necessary and
this charter said so. It ruled nut all
others. An old woman could not
fend home a basket ol potatoes by any
other means than the great Memphis
Freight Company.
For this lar-seeing and patriotic ef
fort Old Jerusalem received the re
compense ot great reward in the shape
of twenty-five thousand dollars worth
of stock. Unfortunately for the old
festive cuss, the courts intervened,
and knocked the great company eial
wirie. The stock collapsed, and the
venerable Smith considered himself
an ill -list 'I man.
His next move was to augment tin
fare on the Memphis Street Bail road
from live to ten cents. For this he
received the pitiful sum of five thou
nd dollars He then procured the
s. Taire of a law incorporating a com
pas. -the old Memphis Freight Company-
;nd that gave it possession of
pauy, m. -8 and bridges thereon lead
all the roa tphls, with the right to

He ought not to have tried to evade
the law and swindle the company.
He was so useful to the sinful and
stupid city of Memphis as the mem
ber from frank-man, that at the next j
election he was returned as the JSena- :
tor from that rebellious place. Mem- j
phis was unhappy, of course. But I
hold that Old Jerusalem is sent as a
punishment to the rebellious and
stiff-necked sinners. From the State
Besate of TenneaaM to the Congress
of the United (States is but one step
for such a Smith. And here he is,
with his seat assailed contested, as it
is called by another man who claims
to be more duly elected than Old Je
rusalem. AS A CLAIMANT.
The biography of this remarkable
man would lie incomplete without
reference to his wonderful talent as a
claimant.
Toward the close of the war he ap
pears! before General Hurlbut, then
In command at Memphis, with a
claim of fsWitO for damages done liim
by the reikis. The General's military
bowels of compassion were so moved
tint lie issued an order assessing the
loss upon the rebels of Hardeman,
each mother's son of them to pay in
proportion to his worldly goods.
These wicked rebels were assessed
and exmotkm had; for that the nur
sery of Grand Junction had been de
spoiled. linnos were seized and sold,
hou-ehoid furuiiure put up, and even
pot- tad paas levied upon, that Old
jeru.-aiem might be rebuilt.
Not content, however, with this
raid, Smith, of Hardeman, while in
the rishtUire, came back with 1 1 i
! claims, that ha.I now grown to eight
llliill-ituu tltJllHis-. lilt inie us (ie :su
moved Qeh. Qaotgc H. Thomas, that
he, al-o, i-suedan order ot assessment.
But, tortunateiy lor the wicked reueis
of Hardeman, the order passed
through Gen. Washburue's hands,
then in eommaiidat Memphis, and he
stopped it in tranifit, calling Gen.
Thomas' attention tothe fact that said
claim, in its infancy, had been satis-
lied
Then the Venerable Jerusalem turn-
ed his attention toConsnv.ss. He sent
thither his promising claim, that had
now grown to the enormous magni
tude of twenty-two thousaud dollars
It is a precious document. The nur
sery and peanut stand of the Grand
Junction have grown into a planta
tion. The plantation has been rava
ged. The items are civen with painful
accuiacv, down to two ducks ami mx
chickens. The claim was forwarded
to the Hon. Mr. Stokes, aud as it
seemed to baas drearily on Stokes
hands, Ancient Jerusalem procured
his st-i-alitd return to Congress, and
was s'-arcely sworn in before the Hon.

condition till the end of the war, the
fiie ers of ihe road maintaining that

had a re-olutiou introduced providing
that the years ot the war "hould not

It has transpired that the Georgia

by the Senate Committee on Enrolled j
Bills, for signature, in such haste that j
there was not time enough left to I
notify Congress in the usual way. He j
approved it the moment it was laid;
before him, and sent word to the Sen
ate bv Mr. Thayer of the committee, I
who informed that body that he was
requested by the President to inform
the Senate that ho had signed it.
Georgians say that the Conservative
members ot the Legislature of Georgia
will not respond to Bullock's procla
mation, and it will bo unable to ob
tain a quorum at its meeting on the

to disbelieve the rumor that, owing to

ever, that the ratification of the fif

It is understood that the President
will sustain Gen. Reynolds' ordar for
an election in the two counties in Tex
as that did not vote in the recent State

and forward it to Washington for
submission to Congress. The State is
so much iu doubt that there is a live

tTNDIXO THE UEUT.
Secretary Boutivell has prepared a
biil to fund the public debt substau- j
tfadly on the plan proposed in his an
nual rep-it. It proposes, first, a new
loan not ejcraedang 1,200,000,(100, prin-!
i-ipal and interest payable iucoin;j
second, it fixes the interest at four and
a half per cent., and provides that it
shall be paid to European boldets of I
the loan at Paris, London and Frank
fort; third, that the bonds, principal
and interest shall be exempt trom tax
Hon ; fourth, the bonds known as five
twenty bonds shall be received id ex-
change for the new bonds. The reason
that the amount of the proposed Loan
is Limited to twelve hundred millions !
I of dollars, is basti on tiie belief of the
! Treasurer that it will reduce the bond- j
ed debt by the purchases of bonds dur-
I ing the present fiscal year to fourteen.
i hundred and buy millions of dollars. ,
i The Secretary deems k prudent to
leave outstanding two hundred and
ntiv millions Ol (lonars. cmiici
flttv Millions ol dollars. Mnce
the loan Ws proposed by the Depart
mcnt, it has been nreery canvaaseu,
; anil has lvn receiveu wnn more am
! favor than tavor. Foreign eapiiali-is
j have Tftten thut If the exchange oi
; five-twenties is maiio cumpu!J""'y; "
I siU injure American credit abroad;
j but they have been answered th-t such
i sin exchange is not to be made com
pulsory. The next interest opposing is
that of the national banks, who seem
! to be against Ijanking on a four and a
half per cent. bond. A member of
; the Senate Finance Committee lias
j prepared a bill to be Introduced in
j January, providing for the issue of
I gold notes or gold cert ifieatej by the
Tn sstfryj of all denominations, to the
extent of thirty millions of dollars,
