Preparations for the Election—Negro Troops to Be Put in the Field=False Stories About the Ku Klux. [From the Evening Telegram of yesterday.) NASHVILLE, August 8, 1668, In the House a bill has been submitted by the Military Committee giving Governor Brownlow abso- lute power to arm and equip as many regiments as he pleases. The bill is certain to pass, and it is equally certain that the regiments will be in part made up of negroes. Hundreds of the latter are now arming here, waiting for a chance to be mus- tered in, while a number of whites are busy trying to secure positions as officers. Petitions are pouring in by the dozen, earnestly imploring the Legislature not to call out the militia, Jt is not improbable that the conservatives in the State will entirely withdraw from the canvass mainly for the pape of preventing bloodshed, and under the decided impression that a free election 1s simply out of the question. \If a decision is arrivéd at that the canvass will go on even with the militia in the field, it will be an imposstbility to prevent riot and bloodshed. There ts a division of sentiment in the democratic ranks as to what course to pursue. A rumor having gained considerable currency that @ number of persons were banded together to burn the city, some of the prominent citizens met to-day to make an investigation, Nothing could be dis- covered to implicate any one except a half-witted white man named Carper, who had been threatening terrible vengence against the city. The Press and Times this morning contained the alleged details of terrible outrages in Williamson county by the Ku Klux ora lot of negroes, wherein one was was shot dead and a number badly wounded. The Grand Jury of the county made an investigation ow, in which it was found that the story was false. Investigation of the Alleged Piot to Burn the City. NASHVILLE, August 8, 1868.

No legal proof has been elicited. The cominittee re- commended an inquest to ascertain Carper’s pny. A large part of the city was illuminated to-night and an immense torchiight procession paraded the streets in honor of Seymour and Blair. MiSSOURI.

R. S. CANBY, Brevet Major General United Statea Army. Colonel Deane’s Interview with Secretary Schofield. Colonel Deane, of Governor Warmouth’s statf, had an interview this morning with General Schofleld in regard tothe application of Louisiana for federal assistance in suppressing present and apprehended disorders, He will receive a definite anwser regarding Yis mission on Monday. It is understood that while the government considers the situation as one of delicacy and requiring great discretion it will use ita powers and perform its duties under the constitution and the laws to repress disorders with promptness and vigor. Colonel Deane has confined himself in his representations respecting affairs in Louisiana mainly to the au- thorities to whom he was sent. In general conver- sation, while representing the situation as serious and as requiring prompt attention from the govern- ment, he draws a milder and more encouraging pic- ture of affairs than some others lately from New Orleans have done. He speaks very kindly of Gene- ral Harry Hays and other prominent ex-Confederates, and hopefully of their probable attitude and course in relation to public order. A Mulatto Girl Outraged by a Negro. A few days ago Chief Justice Chase and his family left the city for a summer visit North and left the house in the care of a colored man servant, The servant, feeling that it was not good to live alone, on Thursday night last invited a pretty mulatto girl with whom he is acquainted to pay him a visit, After showing her through the mansion he conducted her to the library, where they partook of an enter- tainment of wine and other refreshments. The refreshments having been disposed of the colored flunkey assaulted her. The girl resisted and screamed, according to her story, but the fellow ac- complished his purpose by showing a knife and threatening to kill her and himself if she made any outery. The girl next morning entered complaint, on which the man was held to bail in the sum of $500 to appear at court. ° a Payment of Int erest on Registered Bonds.

Speech of General Butler at Gloucester, Mauss.—Favorable Review ef Congress Grant the Man for the Hour. GLOUCESTER, Mass., August 8, 1868, General Batler, it seems, is bound to be the first bidder for the nomination to Congress from the Fifth district. General Schouler, his prominent rival, is a mau of strength and talent, and the Fort Fisher hero is not so stupid as to tguore this fact, and he has therefore fotlowed up his written solicitation to be returned to Congress with a public speech for thé same purpose in the Gloucester town hall to-night, This town tn years past has only beem noted for its fisheries, but now it is becoming somewhat re- nowned as the squatting abode of ‘one of the Impeachment Managers and the per- secutors of Wooley—-a man ambitious to go to Congress a couple of years since and a man whose ambition could only be gratified by re- moving his residence from the spindle city of Lowell to the precincts of quiet and unsophisticated Cape Ann. He’ was elected by a majority respectable in numbers, but his course in the National Legislature ‘was 80 remarkable that there has been and stil! is a strong undercurrent sweeping through the district to defeat his renomination, but if not that, his re- election. The explanation, therefore, of Butler's early appearance on the stump is very clear, The Town Hall contained an audience of about six‘or seven hundred when Butler appeared, among whom were a large number of the wives and daughters of absent fishermen and also a few democrats. The speaker, after being introduced as the best’ hated man in the country, said that he had come to report his labors in the Fortieth Congress to those who had sent him there and sustained him while there. He then alinded to the soldiers who fought in the war and conquered, and said that how, while seeking to defend by ballot what they had gained by the bullet, they were termed by their copper- head enemies as“ carpet-baggers"—the only reason for such an appellation bein; that the war has _— robbei them of ail except what can conveniently be carried in that small article, Among the benefits which the war had given the South was the removal of tax from cotton and the dispensation of three million dollars’ worth of food offered to the impoverished whites; and all this, in the face of every example in the whole history of the world in such cases, and in spite of and in opposition to everything they had a right to expect, The President, he then added, went still further, and against the will of a Congress which represented the people, made himseif a favorite with traitors by granting them an unconditional par- don, He then declared with much emphasis that it was the boast of the Congress which he had the honor to represent that it had everywhere possi- ble reduced expenses and taxation; tat it had not been guilty of appropriating the public funds for private purposes, and that it had forbidden tye fur- ther contraction of the currency. The matter of ad- {oR Oe and providing for the finances was then di- lated upon for Some time, the speaker claiming that Congress always acted calmly and dispassionately, and at the same time the democrats were showerin upon them an abundance of abuse, of which he received a generous share. He maintained that unless a republican Con- gress had the settlement. and adjustment of the finances the honor and integrity of the coun- try wouid be lost and every public creditor would be ruined, For one, he never had and never would seek any division on financial matters, for it must and shall be settied by a loyal Congress; and to secure this the republican party must be successful. Notwithstanding all this, however, he should prefer to have these matters of debt rest fora while, until we can find out whether or not the country is going to drift to pieces, so that It will be of no consequence toa man whether he owns & government bond or not. This, he added, with some force, de- pends upon whether or not the matter of finances is entrusted with Congress or with the President; or rather, whether the loyal forces or those who fought for and now sustain the lost cause prevail at the ballot box. He had seen early that the only remedy -or cure for all the evils since the war was the removal and impeachment of Andrew Johnson. Obtaining some lause for this re- mark, Butler was encou and went on to de- nounce the President as a traitor, a sympathizer with rebels, counterfeiters and thieves and every bad man generally—so had, in fact, that for the safety of the country it was necessary to have him removed. He then paused for a moment to give a good word for Stanton, following up with a sharp round of abuse again for Thomas and the Executive, Coming directly to the matter of the trial of the President, he said that many of the Senators were suddenly taken with tegal consciences, and that he failed of conviction for the lack of votes from the same number of republican Senators as there were devils cast out of Magdalene. He charged that these Senators were victims of corruption; that if they did not want or get money # was thirst for office and ower, He added, a8 his firm conviction, that f President Johnson had been impeached the country would have been _ prosperou: honored and feared at home and abroad, ant the republican party would have had {ts power per- pet, for generations, These declarations from utler broughta few cheers from the radicals com- posing the meeting, and ke then wandered for a mo- ment todescribe how hard he had labored in Con- gress for the interest of those of his constituents who represented the different branches of manufac- turing, fisheries, ship building and foreign com- merce, He claimed that through his efforts he had done @ vast amount for New Engiand commerce and no less for the Dshing interests. Passing from local matters he touched upon matters pertaining to the coming canvass, claiming that to secure tranquility to the country, to obtain security for the national debt, to ensure harmony between the States, and that to have peace on earth and good will to men we must see to it that the republican party succeeds, With the success of the democratic party all those will be lost, and every issue ofthe war will be Feopened and all the evils of sin and treachery will darken the whole republic. The speaker then defended the republican piatform and criticised that of the democr as well as the = 4 hes and writing of numer- ous prominent members of that party which diers from him. He maintained that all the old issues of the war were reopened in the campaign now pending; that they were fighting the same leaders, and that if they were defeated at the baliot box all the lives and treasure sacrificed in four years of bloody war would remain in history and fact as but mere mockeries. What gl to have with success is, peace with Grant and Colfax, and with defeat, war under the black Bae. of Sey- mour and Blair. In conclusion General Butler spoke as follows, with much emphasis:—In this connec- tion you will permit, I doubt not, a single word personal to myself. My enemies, your enemies and the enemies of the country, as @ means of sowing dissension# in the republican ranks, have told you that because of personal differences upon military questions heretofore existing between the General of the armies whom you selected as your candidate for President and myself that I should swerve from ‘that path of loyaity to the republican party and to the country which I had marked out for my- self at the beginning of tne contest seven rears and refuse td support that party in the coming election, or at least one of its nominees. These slanderers mistake their man. I shall goon asl began where the first hostile gun as fred at the flag of the Union in April, 1860. I marched among the earliest at the head of the men of Essex and Massachusetts for the suppression of the rebellion, and until the country is restored to that peace and prosperous tranquiliity which it is her destiny La I shall still march on with the men of Essex and Massachusetts, fighting the enemies tr my country whenever and wherever found, even todo so at a sacrifice of personai resentmenta or personal feelin, Ihave made other and greater sacrifices for the country and shall, {ff needed, continue so to do. Those that deem otherwise jud; me by the standpoint of their own doubtful patriotism. Not content, however, with their slanders, finding that Thadnever wavered in my support of the principles of the republican party, ey next maligned both General Grant Solel pet by asserting that to achleve some sup; rsonal advantage to cach an improper and unworthy agreement as to personal dimculties, some bargain such as they would have made had they been in our places, had been patched up between us, alike disgraceful to both. I take Teagure in go to you, fellow citizens, as well % behalf of General Grant as myself, that not of the kind has taken place. A difference in soci: life merely, bce f rom misunderstanding, has been the subject of mutually satisfactory explana- tions—no more, no less. I shail advocate the elec- tion of General Grant as man selected by ny arty, Whose patriotism, en 4 a success at the ead of the armies of the United States in destroy- ing the rebellion in arms gives satisfactory assur- ance that he will be able at the head of the govern- ment to resist this new phase of the rebellion. ‘Transferred to civtl life, and his administration de- voted to such @ patriotic work, it shail have the same cordial and hearty’ support from me that it would have were my dearest personal friend. Another of the many headed rumors in circulation to injure me in your good opinion, my fellow citizens, {s that, in event of Gen- eral Grant being elected to the administration of the government, a8 Ihave no single doubt he will U4 your representative will not receive that just ant proper recognition from the administration which longs to hi ion in the republican party. @ republican administration all, and more than all that distinction | may personally deserve, and all that consideration which should be accorded to your representative, if I shall be 80 fortunate as in to be so greatly honored by your suftrages. However great or however raised the temptation to do were it ten thousand times stronger than my slanderers have imagined it ight have been, the nomination made and the latform of principles enunciated at New York, echoed and re-echoed by those who for seven years of war and perl! have m the persistent enemies of the country, would have determined my action. In ail the light in which Lam capable of viewing this contest no lover of his country can doubt as to his place. To me this rebellion in its outset broke all ties of party allegiance, endeared by the teachings of youth and the recol- lections of manhood. To enter the service of the country, to maintain her integrity, to uphold and her constitution in its true spirit of freedom and equality of right to all, and in efter seven veara of endeavor to the oe ability in her behalf, T cannot falter now. ‘The issue | is made upon loyalty op the one side, rebellion aud treason on the other. No true man can hesitate. | The North will again rise up as one man—the solaters of the republic will march once more together to the rescue of the principles we fought for, and they shall never be dishonored. The flag we love and reverence shall never trail in the dust. The cause of liberty—our cause, the cause of the country, the | cause of oppreased millions throughout the world— asin the past, so in the future shail triumph more and more forever. The most warily applauded postions of the speak- er’s remarks were those defining himself in favor of Grant, There were at other times a few cheers, but they did not seem to come from the heart's depths. The canvass in the district promises to be very lively, and that very soon too. The republi- cans who oppose Butler will without doubt tal General ‘Schouler, @ bitter enemy of Butler, and his nomination: is not defeated there it is likely that there will be a fuston of the democrats and Schouler admirers inthe district, m Which case Schouler can hardly tail of an election, POLITICAL AFFAIRS AT SARATOGA. Serenade to aad Speech of Henry C. Mur- phy—The Gubernatorial Canvass. Saratoga, August 8, 1868. Mayor Hoffman having returned to the city, the friends of Senator Henry ©. Murphy are making gubernatorial hay while the political sun shines, Last night they visited him at the Clarendon with a fine band of music and serenaded him, Ostensibly the compliment was from the guesis of the hotel, who—the ladies particularly—thronged the porches to listen to the music and to the expected response, During an interval in the playing of the band Charles O’Conor introduced Senator Murphy, who promptly gratified the gathering with aspeech. As he is one of the prominent candidates for the demo- cratic nomination for Governor, the following extract from his remarks will be of interest. He had returned thanks, as usual, and then went on to say:— I would not offend the decorum of this occasion by addressing you in a partisan spirit, nor dol so olfend in pleading for reconciliation and the perfect restoration of the Union, 1 do not believe there is a single person within the sound of my voice who does not desire to see fraternal relations prevail through- out the entire republic. If there be any, however, who still nourish revengeful feelings on either side or of any party, who still brood over either the I conjare by the causes or consequences of the war, them by the ties of a common lineage, traditions of the past, by the m the great and good men of our land—of VV and Jackson, of Jefferson and Clay, of Wi Webster—by our iiopes of the future and t tations of the fricads of freedom every throughout the world, to let such feelings die, re- membering that— ‘To err is human, to forgive divine, We want a perfect restoration of the Union, not ely in form, but in feeling—not only cognizing the personal and — poil- ical privileges and rights defined by the constitu. tion, but that charity, forbearance and confidence in and towards each other that distinguished the framers of that instrument. { would eppee to the pergcnat interests of every man in behalf of this cause, It is by bringing the resources and industry of the entire country to bear upon its development that we may expect to escape the severity of taxation and solve the problems of currency and finance upon which we are at present engaged. In such a state of affairs the natural operations of trade would soon afford a remedy, and the question whether the na- tional debt should be paid in gold or greenbacks would no longer have any political importance. ‘The government restored to its position among the na- tions would also have the ability to vindicate the rights of those who have cast their lots in thi land of boasted liberty, ana whom we have invited here and promised to protect in all the privileges of American citizens. It is to be tolerated that citizens going to visit the graves of their ancestors should ‘e arrested and thrown in dungeons and tried for their lives for offences committed in this country? Such a humilia- ting spectacle we have seen. The honor of all par- ties in the country demands that such acts should not be repeated. My friends, I have pernaps already de- tained you longer than’ the proprieties of the occa- ston will permit. I will, however, before concluding express the contidence which I entertain in the ex- citing political oor upon which we are now entering. You will all, whether native born or adopted citizens, always stand firm by your convictions of the right and exercise the privileges with whi ou are enfranchised, and at the same time will fulfll the whole duty of American citizen by according every right and opportunity of exercising it to those who diifer from you in oP inion. ‘Thanking you again for your kindness, | bid you “Good nigit.”’ THE GUBERNATORIAL CANVAS The crowd and band then went to the and serenaded ex-Governor Sanford who made them @ short speech. Ci and calls brought forward Mr. Hosea B. Perkins, wuo ad- dressed them in one of his facetious eiforts, and the serenading ended, The poll.icians here are taking sides very fast. Those who were in attendance at the serenade and thus indicated their fealty to the cause of Murphy nion Hotel f. Church, inciuded the following well known names:—Hon. John Morrissey, John Fox, ex-Governor Sanford K. Church; Stafe Senators Genet, Beach and Hubbard; Assemblymen Dennis Burns and Ackert; United States District Attorney SamuelsG. Courtney, Sheriff James O’Brien, Supervisor James Hayes, Surrogate Veeder, of Brooklyn; Coroner Flynn, Henry Kich- mond and J. McB. Davidson, of Albany, and Jarvis Lord, of Rochester. The Democratic State Central Committee will meet at Utica on Thursday next, the 13th lust., to make the call for the State Convention. MILITARY NOTES, The strength of the army garrisoning .... South has been variously estimated at fifty, sixty and eighty thousand men. It appears, however, from an official statement, issued from the headquarters of the army at Washington, that there were but 18,731 soldiers on duty in all the Southern States on the lst of January, 1868. Of these 2,723 were engaged against the Indians exclusively and 2,412 were sta- tioned in the various forts that guard our Southern seaboard. This leaves 13,696 as the entire force in the ten States denominated rebel. i Major General Irwin McDowell has assumed com- mand of the Department of the East, and has estab- lished his headquarters in the government building corner of Houston and Greene streets. Recruiting for the regular army has been entirely suspended. Considerable dissatisfaction exists among the officers of the Brooklyn National Guard over an order issued by Brigadier General Crooke, temporarily in command of the division, ordering many of them to spree. before a general court martial to answer for their absence from their commands on the parade of the last glorious Fourth. They think that the division commander has no authority to issue such an order and, being sticklers for regulations themselves, re- gard General Crooke as more maiicious than regular. Company E, Twelfth infantry, N. G., 8. N. Y., will not be permitted to wear their honors easy. ree companies of New York militia, besides the Boston company, have chalienged them to drill for that un- Fag flag.

OBITUARY. Edwin A. Stevens. A cable telegram, received yesterday, annownced the death at Paris on Friday night of Eawin a, Stevens, of Hoboken, in the seventy-third year of his age. This gentlernan was the son of John Stevens, acontemporary of Fulton and who built the steam- boat Phomix about the sante time that Puiton was engagea in constructing the Clermont. Fultem having obtained the exclusive right to the naviga- tion of the Hudson, Mr. Stevens placed hia eats om the Delaware and Connecticut, fn 1812 he published aremarkable pampaict urging the government to make experiments in railways: traversed by steam carriages, and if bis plan should prove feasisie he proposed to construct such @ railway from Albany to Laze Erie. ‘The plans thus laid down differ very little from the railwaya now in operation. He died in 1538 at Hoboken, transmit. ting to his children the entire territory embraced now in the city limits of Hoboken, which had been only @ marsh, with @ few shanties resitng thereon, when he acquired it. His sons were Kdwin A.,, Robert L., John C, and James, the latter of whom ta the only one now living. By a family arrange nent, soon alter the father’s death, the territery alluded ta” fell to Edwin A., who obtained a charter tncor- porating the Hoboken Land and Improvement Com- pany, under the operations of which he anmiassed a rge fortune. t. E, A, Stevens and his brother, Robert L., both engineers of considerable notoriety, were among the Projectors of the Camden and Amboy Railroad, and originated many improvements which have since been adopted throughout the various rafiroada of the country. But tt is in connection with his experimenis in steamboats for attack and defence in war that Mr, Stevens attracted most attention for some years past. So lar back as 1841 he and his brother undertook ex- periments with a view to the conatruciton of an iron-clad steamer, or battery, Which shouid be shot and shell proof. The plan was, alter some moditica- tions, approved by Commodores Stuart and Perry and Engineer Totten, upon whose recommendation Congress subsequently made an appropriation for the construction of such a battery. When the war broke out Mr. Stevens had at his own expense , almost completed his floating battery at Hoboken. Other ante prisons were asked for and granted by Congress, who eventually refused to make any fur- ther advances on the project. Despairing of having aid to finish his large battery Mr, Stevens design to presont to the government, if they refused to purchase, a small battery of 150 tons. This, if unsuccessful, would not be urged to prove his plan unsuitable for large vessels, and if successful tt would prove most conclusively that it was superior to the British method of plating, for the latter maintained that no vessel under three thousand tons could support @ plating thick enough to resist Armstrong shot at six hundred feet distance. On the 24th of February, 1863, he made propositions to secretary Welles which should relieve the govern- ment of ali risk as to the success of at least one of these vessels by “obligating myself to complete the Stevens battery and deliver her for service on the following terms, viz.:—That she shali be impenetra- ble to the most destructive missile fired from the most powerful gun now used in our own or in any ropean naval serviee, to be tried upon her at'short range, say 220 yards; second, that she shall have reater speed than any other iroa-clad war steamer in the world; third, that she shall be more manageable and more quickly turned and manwuvred than any other large armed sea-going steamer; fourth, that she shall have an armament capable of throwing a broadside at least equal to that of any ship now afloat.” The remaining con- dition was that she was to be delivered to the gov- ernment ready for service within nine months from the time the order was given for the sum of $1,500,000. This proposition was rejected by the pngreas, where it “died the death,” like so many other projects stifled by committees, Mr. Stevens, however, nothing daunted, built and fitted out the tron-clad Naugatuck, of one hundred tons, carrying one gun. At the attack upon Fort Dariing, on the James river, May 15, 1862, her gun burst killing, sev- eral on board. His brother, John C. Stevens, was the first com- modore and founder of the New York Yacht Club, after whose death, In 1860, the subject of tli was elected commodore, Which position he 1866, when he resigned, in conseques:e of “age and some of its attendant infirmities.” On May 6 in thas year the club entertained him to a sumptuous din- her at Delmonico’s, and presented him with a piece of plate to testify their respect for him on lis re urement from the office of commodore. ‘The com- mittee appointed to draft complimentary resolutions consisted of Moses H. Grinneil, George F. Talinan, Robert 8. Hone and Commodore McVicker. In the political world Mr. Stevens never took a very active part. He headed the ticket of Presiden- tial electors several times in New Jersey, but never held any other office, honorary orremunerative. He Was always unch democrat, When the Great Eastern ieft our harbor with pas- sengers for the Paris Exposition, about the middle of Aprii last, Mr. Stevens and hia family took pas- sage in her. He spent last winter at Nice, and though he had been subject to rheumatic attacks, with occasional pneumonia, for the last ten P sgn | his death was unexpected. He leaves a wife an eight children, Lo whom he bequeaths an inheritance approaching, it {8 said, $18,000,000. He was sole proprietor of the entire er front from the Hoboken ferry to the Elysian ids. A short me before his death he was negotiat for the sale of the Elysian Fields as @ terminus and depot for # proposed railroad to the West; but the negotiations e not completed. Mr. Stevens was in every se of the word an old landmark. No lord of the manor ever recelved a greater ovation from his sub- jects than that annually tendered to ‘King Stevens," the “right arm of Camden and Amboy,” by the jolly and festive denizens of that little Dutch city at the foot of the hill confronting the metropolis. Once a year he invited all the prominent citizens to his rest. dence, where a gigantic picnic would be held. And the school children will misé him. He was to them @ generous patron and a kind friend. MELANCHOLY DISASTER AT SEA—A VESSEL SWAMPED AND SEVERAL LIVES LOST. When about forty-five miles south to southeast of Sandy Hook, on the afternoon of the 6th instant, the pilot boat Nettle, Captain Josep Lockman, came in sight of a deserted bark. When nearing her Captain Lockman found that she was deserted and disabled, and he determined to take her in tow. On closer examinatiou the vessel was identified as the Henry Trowbridge, tain Hotchkiss, of New Haven, Conn., which had led from this port to Barbados with @ oe —o seed ts GH had the pearance of hav swam @ heavy sea, the cabins were fi! with water. Eaptain Lock- an her up to the Highlands of New Jersey const and foot morning turned her over to Captain Whitlock, of the Rescue. On pumping out the hold of the vessel they found the ies of three seamen, one of which was seated upon atrunk. It was known that Captain Hotchkiss, with his wife and several children, were on board when the vessel left the city, but as nothing could be discovered of their bodies it is supposed they were washed overboard. ‘The vessel was brought to the foot of Montague strect, Brooklyn, with the unfortunate seamen, and Coroner Flavin was notified. As the seamen were shipped by either John Moore or Peter Ferns, of New York, they will probably be identified without any trouble. ap as A.—Phal {Paphian Lotion” TERRES, PIMPLES, TAN, SALT maa ears A.—Phalon’s seeaphian Soap” Possosses the same properties aa the: “Paphiaa Lott conte a cake, Tt will not chap the skin 26 for the TOLL BATH and NERSERY. er ee A.—Warrasted Gi Meerschau a lowest manufacturers’ pri a Broadway, usar Broome and 27 Jobo street, middie of the block.
