LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THECITY AND COUNTT THURSDAY. MAY 17, 1866. THE CONDITION IN TENNESSEE. We liavo frequently met with articles in the columns of our exchanges, giving ac. counts of the deplorable condition of things in Tennessee, some of which we have occa sionally copied. The Chattanooga American .Union avers that in nine cases out often the most highly colored of these statements pre judicial to the character of the people of that State “ como trom outsiders,” and when in vestigated. are generally found to have been built r on o very slender basis. It acknow ledges. however, that the press of Tennessee has sometimes been called upon to chronicle robberies, murders and other species ot crime, but these are not peculiar to the Sta^e. It also admits that there is bad feel ing in certain portions of the State between thoso who were divided in the late conflict. But this is the exception, and hot the gen eral rule. We reproduce with pleasure the statement that “a large majority of the peo ple are disposed to let bygones be bygones, aad evince a desire to get together once more, and live in peace and harmony one with another.’ The Union here alludes, as it says, to the people who are at their' homes laboring in dustriously to make an honest livelihood and regain something of their former pros perity' It is different, however, with the politicians. They have purposes of their own to serve, “axes to grind,” and are therefore interested in prolonging and per petuating strife and bitterness—in keeping up estrangement among the masses. In the opinion of the editor they are the great, the oiiv obstruction now to peace and quietness, and the "less the people listen to them the better it will be for all classes. We think so too, and sincerely hope the condition of af fairs in Tennessee will continue to improve until there is a complete restoration of order and good feeling. SECRETARY STANTON. The announcement that the Secretary of War had in a late Cabinet meeting declared in favor of the President’s policy, was not believed by the leaders of the radical party. They unhesitatingly denounced it as a base fabrication, that would be speedily corrected by the ‘‘distinguished gentleman himself.’ But as some days have elapsed and to denial has appeared from that source, they are forced to regard the statement as having a real foundation, and their alarm is said to be plainly manifest. No little comment has been made upon the subject by the Repub lican newspapers, and a few have already admitted that he is correctly reported, whilst others pronounce the whole thing a hoax, and are firm lu the conviction that he is In favor of the Congressional plan of re construction, and that he does not support that, of the President. Alluding to this subject, the National Intelligencer of late date.says: “We should not now refer to the denials, of the veracity of our report of wbat trans pired recently in Cabinet council concerning restoration, were it not that we have a com ment to make upon the siroject, and also to aver, upon authority from many intelligent sources, the further fact that Mr. Stanton spoke at some length, and was more pro-’ nounced and emphatic than our carefully prepared report stated.” Mr. Stanton’s alleged unqualified support of the restoration policy of the President and his consequent antagonism to the Congress ional plan, indicates that it is hij purpose not to withdraw from the Cabinet, but will probably remain to act in harmony with, the Administration, and U9e his influence and ability for the great work in hand—that of restoring the country to peace and prosper ity, and bringing the sections into fraternal aud friendly relations with each other. We believe the other-members of the Cabinet have publicly avowed their concurrence in the views of the President upon the question of admitting the Southern States to repre sentation iu the National Legislation; If so the entire Cabinet may now be so construed and regarded by the country at large. Judge Fowlf on the President's Pro clamation-—Judge Fowle, of North Caroli na, who granted a writ of habeas corpus in the ca@9 of Major Gee, of Florida, is reported by the Raleigh Standard to have decided that the declaration of the President’s inten tion that the proclamation should not inter fere with military commissions at that time or previously organized, could have no «ffect upon a judicial interpretation of its language and scope. The insurrection being declared at an end, the legal consequence also follows that the President has no authority to de clare that military commissions may in cer tain or in any; case continue to exorcise D avis, though not in the best of health, is in tajcino the bIpukts. It would puzzle the simple* minded, or those not conversant with the refinements of politics, to determine whether certain radi cals in Congress are more profound as states men than astute as financiers. The Cyro- peus of the House, T. Stephens, proposes to amend the Constitution so as to enable Con gress to lay a tax on exports. The chair man of the committee -of Ways and Means, Mr. Morrill, conceiving this to be too slow, and, perhaps, a doubtful operation, proposes a shorter cut to the object of taxing the exports of the South, suggest* an excise. In either case tile exports of the South will be di minished by the amouut.oftheduty or excise. Complaints are londljr made that imports are excessive—that the demand for gold com pels the Secretary of the Treasury to have on hand a surplus .of this metal, to keep down its price, and, by this means, prevent the balance of trade from draining us of our treasure- Yet the contrivers of this excise, Instead of bringing the exports to a nearer approximation of value with the imports, or, at least, not to depress their value, places an excise on cotton of five cents per pound, being one sixth of its present value- It has been frequently remarked by com mercial men that but for the large cotton crop of the South, Exchange would be at the’ specie-exporting point—that the bill market was consequently fully supplied with ex change by the free export of cotton, by which the exports and imports were kept at a duo level—i.U other words, that cotton was of equal value with gold in serving to bal ance the exports with the imports. > The es timate-of Mr. Morrill is that the excise on cotton will yield an annual revenue of at least forty millions of dollars. This SUtn is SO much deducted from the value of oux ex ports which without the excise would amount to an aggregate value of three hundred and sixty millions, and the deficiency would have to be made up by the export of bread- stuffs or some other commodity in foreign demand. If there should be no such de mand an equivalent amount of gold must be exported to balance the exports with the im ports. This is one of the plainest deduc tions from the laws of trade. That the framers of our revenue bills should ignore it occasions no little surprise. To assume that the excise is not a tax on production is the grossest of delusions. The impost is laid on the “producer, owner or holder." If it falls on the holder it would constitute a deduction from his profits u nless be obtains a corresponding deduction from the price. If cotton when the excise is levied should be at thirty cents per pound the excise would amount to one-sixtb, leav ing twenty-five cents to the producer. Nor would this be different if it were a duty in stead of an excise and levied at the ports of exportation. No dealer or, in other words, holder would purchase cotton burdened with a duty of live cents per pound, unless he could draw back the duty iu the price of the taxed commodity. The effect, then, ot the impost, whether excise or duty, is to burthen Southern agriculture exclusively with an onerous tax, while cotton, its most valuable product, is additionally taxed in the price of labor, aud is compelled to pay a higher interest for the use ot capital which has been wasted by the war. But this is not the whole ol the grievance of this sectional inequality. Assuming that the excise is one that falls on the consumer, and not on the producer, a drawback on the manufactured article is allowed, which is in effect a bounty to tbe manufacturer. The fabricator of Northern manufactures is al ready protected by a duty on cotton goods of cent per cent. As if this was not sufficiet he is to receive additional protection by a bounty varying from 25 to 50 per cent. jurisdiction as if a state of insurrection still existed. Judge Undehwood’s Charge to the Nor folk Jury.—Introducing to its readers a portion of the charge of Judge Underwood, of the Supreme Court, to the Norfolk Jury, which found a true bill against Jefferson Davis for high treason, the editor of the Baltimore Gazette^says—“We publish an ex tract from it that our readers may see how the radicals arc attempting to demoralize and debauch tbe country from tbe bench as well as from the pulpit.” The extract al luded to fully justifies the terms used by the editor, but we doubt the propriety of pub lishing such incendiary appeals to tbe pas sions and prejudices of a certain class of our population even for the purpose of - showing the demoralization and depravity ofi the source from which it emanated. The “Stuart Monumental Association.”— We have been requested to state that an as sociation has been formed in Virginia, styled the “Stuart Monumental Association,” whose object is to take measures to erect a suitable monument to that gallant and brave officer Major General j. E. B. Stuart, whose milita ry exploits have been the admiration of both armies. Subscriptions to this object will be received by any of tbe directors, of whom Major Dabney Ball-is Chairman, and Capt. W. R. Martin, • Secretary. The Directors are : Maj. Dabney Ball, Cols. J. G. Cabell, R. P. Chew, R. A. Caskie, Julian Harrison and W. B. Woolridge, Dr. Hancock, Majors Johnson, McClellan and W. B. Warwick, and Captains T. R. Eennln and Francis W. Dawson, who will please accept our thanks for sending ns their prospectus. Secretaby McCulloch’s Visit to Jef ferson Davis.—The Washington Repub lican says, it is authorized to state that nothing . whatever of a political im portanee attaches to th* recent visit of Secretary McCulloch to Jefferson Davis; that it was wholly an unofficial call on the part of the Secretary, who happens fo be at the Fortress upon public business. It may be interesting to the general reader, says the same paper, to know that Mr. comfortable quarters ; is allowed the pri vilege of reading the daily journals, and is as carefully guarded as such a state prisoner should be.

Matthews The Five Cents Tax on Cotton.—In view ot the tax of five centg a pound on cot ton, planters who have failed to obtltin a good stand, owing to the defectiveness of the seed planted,- should plow up their fields and replant them with corn. A., cor respondent of the Chronicle and Sentinel writing on tbe subject, says with a tar of five Cents per pound, there i» no use in try ing to grow cotton at doable old peaceprices. He says: Just look at it: Suppose q make four bales to the band (and this is a first rate crop) it will bring mej at SO cents --.$400 Now wageB of hand is. 120 Food 60 Corn tor mill 100 Fodder 60 Tax, United Stales 100 Tools, bagging, rope, Ac... 25 Hauling to rairoad, freight, storage, com missions, Ac.... _j M 22 And itis.........................

The Lobd Mayo* or London oh Phesident John son.—At the splendid banquet of April f th, St the Man sion House, London,'the Lord Mayor paid this elo quent tribute to the President of ths United States : Passing to the great American Republic, he (ths Lord Mayor) need scarcely say in the presence of this distinguished representative, with what emotion ths people of this country watched the struggle Of the past, and with what joy and gladness they hailed the glo rious return to peace -and happiness. {Hear, hear.] Not thia slone, but ths whole civilised world deplored the lamented death of that able end distinguished statesman, Mr. Lincoln. (Hear, hear.] But he be lieved Providence watched over the Government of America, for in Abraham Unooln’a place there had been raised up a man whose moral worth, courage, forbearance and honesty must prove the mnSna ot re storing to his country the blessings of peace, prosper ity and happlnsst: [Cheers.] Ho man 1 could have raad the history of the pest without feeling the deep est regard lbr the President of the United Mates, and seeing in him the man who of ell othis was suited to tbe moment, was blessed with power eg mind, e spirit ot conciliation, a lovs of jostioe, admiration for truth,, and, above all, with the great cosnblaatioh of mercy, charity, and the truest pUflaatbORr Which a itateamnn could manifest—namely, an earnest desire to do that to a State and hap- jet ns' hops that the United buttes would continue uninterrupted,'and that the friendly feeling and cordiality that had ever existed between the Uni ted State* and this country might also continue with out interruption to the lmnpovaaefad ^sf our com. maree, to the atrengthing of euf friantthlp, to bless us with peace aad prosperity, aad to ahad s lustra of hops throughout the etvUlxsd world. {LdffiACheers. j Boston and New Toe*.—The taxable valuation of Boston in USB warnJtaal estate, $201,628,601); per- The — - easel property.

It la understood that a mutual understanding has been arrived at between France and Austria, in ac cordance with which Austria undertakes that should Italy attack Yenltia Independently of France, none of the eventual results of victory will be secured by Austria without the diplomatic intervention of France. It is asserted that one object of Austria in menaoing Prussia and Italy is to force England to asaent to a European Congress. Later. London. May 5.—Prussia has declared to the Diet that warlike preparations on her part are entirely de fensive. The Austrian reply to the Prussian note was con ciliatory, but declines to disarm under present cir cumstances. The warlike preparations of Venetia are pushed en ergetically. It is rumored that Yenetia will soon be placed in a state of siege. , Nothing has been heard of the steamer City of Washington since ths Propehtlc left her. The Fashions. [Paris (April 10) correspondence of London Telegraph.] The one great object of my admiration in Paris is ths “ bonnet”—its ever changing shape, its splendor, its disappearance, and its •• dark days 6f nothing ness.” Wbat do you think bonnets were yesterday ? Not crepe, ncr tails, nor silk, nor satin, nor velvet, nor straw. No, nothing but flowers. I saw one lady with a bonnet of daisies, and another who had on her head a handful of lilies of the valley, festooned with a green ribbon. If it really is anything, a bonnet can scarcely be less than a few lilies of the valley, which at Florence would cost half s Paul. Another lady had a wreath of wall flower^. Of ths last I will only say “ nonmi ffusta," it was too like a fashion which-used to obtain in Lon don on May-day, especially with “ my lord” and ” my lady;” but the others wers sweetly pretty, and that suoh a something as that “ lily” bonnet could come ont of nothing la, I confess, a wonder of art. There was, too, a dust-colored dress and bonnet, the latter having iu it two great natural rotes, which were worth paying the Grand Stand ticket only to see. Certainly some Frenchwoman can dress, if they can do nothing else. Not that I turn against my country women. No. As in St. James’ street you can get a better dinner than on the Boulevard, so in the Park you can see a greater show of beauty than In the Rais, and for the same reason—the raw material is so su perior. A Floating Island.—The Bangor (Me.) Whig esys that in a pond near the city there is sn island, of about half an acre in extent, which for many years has litersllly floated upon the water, having no hold upon the ground save what it was afforded by the roots of some of the trees upon it, which had grown through the island into the bottom of the.pond. Tbe surface of the island is sufficiently strong to sustain the weight of a loaded team. Recently, however, a freshet In the pond raised the water to such a height that these were broken, and the island, impelled by the force of the wind, elowly drifted across the pond. It new remains uca&the shore, which the intervening logs prevented it from entirely reaching. Shaespeahe in tuh Senat*.—A correspondent fof the N. Y. Evening Post writes; In the. classic days of the United States Senate, Shakapeare was quoted as ho wrote. Probably Web ster and Calhoun, Clay and Benton, and Case and Crittenden were diffident of their ability to improve his verse. But now, alas! Doolittle essays to rtcon- sturt Inin, and Sunnier aud Cowan tinker the work. Eccr signuni. United States Senate. May 11. Doolittle loquitur: “Mingle, mingle as they may, Blue spirits and gray. “Sumner— White spirits and gray. Yon are wrong in your Shakapeare. “Cowan—There is no white spirits in it ” Now, the song of the witches in* “Macbeth" (con" jectured not to have been written by Shakapeare) is this, at the school boys know: Black spirits and white, red spirits and gray, Mingle, mingle, mingle, you that mingle may. But Senator Doolittle, with a conciseness at least nominally his characteristic, proceeds to his task of Sbakeperean reconstruction—find, by condensing the expression, and then by reducing the several colors of Black, white anrl red into one ftltie. Senator Sumner, shocked by Doolittle's amazing literary ex ploit, forgets Jt is cofessed for ’the first time) the Black, aud remembers iconfessiou ditto) tbe white. While .Senator Cowan, evidently overcome by the tjlue aspect which Du..little had taken, exclaims: “There u no white spii its iuit.” I am inclined to think that Cov.au was light.’ Doolittle 'must have looked blue; and I don't tsriieve a single Congression al “smash” w:i, c-ver known to liuvo a drop of ‘(white spirits in It." One Woman Marries AituiBEr..—The New York Bedford Mercury gives the following: » About a year ago a daughter of Major Daniel Perry, ’ who is somewhat deranged, disappeared, aud, wan dering off, was at last lodged in the Sullivan county. New York, alms-house as a vagrant. Here she met another monomaniac by the toons of Lucy Slater, aud the two becoming very much attached to each other, decided to become man and wife. They left the alms house last summer and returned to Abington, where they have lived in tho bonds of wedlock, as supposed by the neighbors—Lucy, aljas James, Slater wearing male attire up to the prcseDt time.

Mehthis Editobs in a Bud Way.—The Memphis editors appear to have the usual amount of popular odium ami private malice to meet. The local of the Commercial was shot at twice ou the street, the ball only tearing his clothes. Ou Monday last, while CoL Heart, the aenior editor of tbe Daily Commercial, was sitting at his desk writing, two shots were fired at him from the oppo site ui the street, the ball lodging in the wall just above liic bead. The assassins, three in number, (discovered by the police in a few moments afterwards at they were making off), attempted to murder Col. Heart from a position under the shed of the Adams’ Block. Fortunately, the deadly missiles missed their aim. Col. Heart will be remembered as the able associate editor of the Charleston Mercury in the by-gtfne days, aud afterwards as the Superintendent of Public Print ing iu Washington, D. C. It is not stated what was the motive that influenced the cowardly wretches to attempt his life.
