8 WASHINGTON. Investigation of the Tennessee Troubles. A Successor to Collector Bailey Appointed. Proposed Retirement of Fractional Cur- reucy—The Tehuantepec Ship Ca- nal—Immense Subsidies to Western Railroads. Wasuinaton, March 18, 1870, Deptorable Condition of ‘Tenuessee—The State Overrun by Desperadoes—The Governor Powerless to Execute tho Laws, AS stated in my despatches last night, A. J. Fiewoher, Secretary of State of Tennessee, and Colo- nel Frank Hyberger, of Governor Senter’s staff, arrived in this city this morning. Colonel Hy- berger visited the Executive mansion and presented %o the President despatches, of which he was the bearer, from Governor Senter. The despatches called the attention of the President to the existence of a condition of lawlessness in Tennessee which was beyond his power to suppress; tnat the Legisla ture had repealed the laws giving him the right to call ous the militia of the State to suppress violence and disorder and to autnorize a posse of citizens to pursue and arraign criminais; that the operation of justice had entirely ceased, and he was perfectly unable to protect innocent persons; that gangs of rufians were organized and deliber- ately murdered citizens with the pretense of law. Jn consideration of this condition of affairs the Governor asked the President of the United States to authorize him to take command of United States forces now in the State, or that may be sent there at his request, The President read the despatches and stated that he would give them immediate consider- ation, There are many other persons here besides Fletcher and Hyberger working to induce federa! interposition in fennessee matters, and it 1s said by some disinterested parties that the whole Movement ts urged on by unscrupulous and @esigning politicians and speculators. One of the petitioners for government interference 1s said to be a man who figured discreaitably im connection with a Tennessee bank, and who is represented as saying, here, lately, “If we can only get the United States government to reconstruct Tenneasee again 1t will be a mighty good way to Wake money, Let her be overrun with federal bayonets once more and we can make all the money ‘We want.” Just think of that as a motive for recon- structing a sovercign State once more, Mr. Thomas, Speaker of the House of Representa- tives, of the Tennessee Legislature, made a state- ment before the Reconstruction Committee to-day im reply to the stories which have been putin circu- Jation abous the revoiutionary character of that body, He denied that @ condition of lawlessness exisia in the State, or that thor’ rar an necessity for troops to enforce thé faws fina protect the people, Mr. Thomas was going on with an elaborate defence of tne Legis- Mature when he was suddenly stopped by Ben Butler, who supjected him toa close examina- tion. Butler discovered or thought he had discoy- ered a disposition on the part of Mr. Thomas to keep back something of what he knew and to tell only 80 much as he thought was necessary. Ben admon- ished him that he had better tell @ plain, unvar- ished tale, because it was useless to attempt to de- ceive the committee. With a knowing wink of bis eve, Butler told him that the Reconstruction Committee bad means of gaining correct information of which Be knew nothing. Under tnese circumstances Mr. Thomas thought 1 was best to make @ clean breast ef tt, Itis said that be first admitted that there ‘Was some disturbance in the State, and finally, under the sharp crogs-examination of Butler, he admitted ‘that the Governor was not able to secure the enforce- ment of the laws. Representative Hawkins, from Tennessee, has re- eeived a telegram from ex-federal soldiers in Nash- ville, contradicting the statement read in the House of Representatives, that all the Union soldiers had been orderea to leave the Sixth Congressional dis- trict, and that one had been hanged. Hr. Hawkins te requested to read this contradiction in Congress. Adverse Report on General Ames’ Creden- tials as Senator from Mississippl. Senator Conkling’s report on the credentials of General Ames, as Senator elect from Mississippi, calis attention to the constitutional requiremeats that a person to be eligible as a Senator of the United States must be an inhabitant of the State for which he is chosen, and must be such inhabitant “when elected.” *The election in thia instance occurred on the 18th of January, 1870, at worch time General Ames was a military officer stationed in Mississippi by order of supreme military authority, and was acting as Provisional Governor by appointment from General McDowell. In the opinion of the Judiciary Committee his presence in these two characters did constitute the requisite legal residence, notwith- standing his declaration when consenting to become & candidate for the Senate that he intended to leave the army and reside in Mississippi; and notwith- standing his subsequent resignation from the army, ‘which was accepted by the President before signing the bill to admit the State, Executive Nominations. ‘The following nominations were sent in to the Senate to-day:—Eugene Schuyler to be Secretary of Lega- ton at si. etersburg, Russia; Charles White to be Secretary to the President to sign land piienei George H. Sharp to be United Stated Maranal for the Southern District of New York; Samuel Harlow to be Collector of Internal Revenue for the Fourth Dis- trict of New York; Alfred R. Pleasanton, Collector ot Internal Revenue for the Thirty-second District of New York; Smitn D. Atkins, Postmaster at Free- port, The Brooklyn Navy Yard Removal. ‘The House Committee on Naval Affairs 1s still dis- cussing the propriety of removing the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The Committee seems to have fully de- cided on its removal, and the question now is, where shall it be located? The New Londoners are urging its removal to their town, while a set of New York- ers want it located up the Hudson, within a short distance of New York city. There 1s still another party who favor its entire abolition on the ground of economy. It may be added that this party is neither large nor influential. General Siocum, having seen a statement in the newspapers to the effect that the removal of the yard wou cause the site on which tt 1s located to revert back to its original owners, took the trouble to go before the Committee to-aay and iniorm them that sach was not the fact. He had searched the records at the Navy Depart- Ment and found that the title was vested in the United States exclusively, The Committee will probably report a bill for the removal of the Yard and aliow the House to 0x upon the new site. The Bigaest Laud Job Out. The House Committee on the Pacife Railroad agreed to-day to the most ponderous railroad sub- sidy, if the bill, to which the Senate also agreed, for the benefit of the Kansas railroads is excepted, that has come up this session. The bill in question 1s for the benefit ol what is known as the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company. It is to run trom a point on the Kansas Pacific Railway, near Fort Riley, and to run down throngh Kansas, through the lands of the Cherokee, Creek and Choc- taw nations, in the Indian territory, and through Texas to the Guif of Mexico. This takes in an immense sweep of the public lands, and though the bill does not provide for any bonds it is estimated Vhat the sale of the land through which it will Fup will produce a large amount of money. The Northern Pacific§Railroad. The Senate Committee on Public Lands heard an argument to-day from Jay Cooke in favor of a grant of land to sid in the construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Mr. Cooke, who with other mem- bers of the firm of Jay Cooke & Company, are said to be largely interested in this road, asks Congress for the usual subsidy of twenty miles of land on each side of the road of the alternate sections. Colored Georgians Iuterviewiug the Vice President. Twelve colored members of the Georgia Legisia- ture visited Vice President Colfax at the Capito) this morning and were introduced to him ny Senator Wilson, @ne of the Georgtans made a short speech, setting forth the views of the dclegation and ex- pressing the hopes that Congress would not give the colored citizens of their State mtothe power of the rebels, In reply the Vice President frankly stated that he did not believe that the existing Legislature Of Georgia could perpetuate itself, but said his sym- Pathies were with the freedmen aud he hoped to see them secured in their rignts. Coin and Currency Balances im the Trensury. At the close of business in the Treasury De- partment today the coin balance on Mand was $103,903,636 40, of which amount $41,519,000 repre- sents gold certifcates outstanding.

The two Johns—Fox and Morrisscy— of New York, are regularly serving their constituents at home. Fox has been here only a few days during the present session, and Morrissey not at all. The Gardled Senate Documents—Letter of Secretary Cox to Senator Ross. Senator Ross, in his speech the other day explain- ing the charge made against him of baving garbied certain documents transmitted to the Senate by the Interior Department, stated that he had written a letter to Secretary Cox on the subject, To that letter Secretary Cox replied as follows:— DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR) = ¢ Wasitnoron, March 17 1810."
