THE TESTIMONY OF A BLACK REPUBLICAN.

THE TESTIMONY OF BLACK REPUBLICAN.
Hon. Andrew Stewart, of Ohio, for years Demo-
crat, was elected to Congress on the ant-Nebraska
platform, and has ever since acted with the repub-
can party. He has just been making a tour of Kan
sas, and in late number of his own paper the
Steubenville (OhiO) Union, he says:
every street, corner, and " doggery," of which
even in this old Massachusetts " town there were
not few, had its crowd of disputants. Here l
found James II. Lane, who invited me over 10 his
wigwam, where we took smoke and talked over
matters he justifes his and that of the ul-
ira freeState of which he is the leading Spirit
upon circumstances upon which he alleges the peo-
pie in the free States know little nothing. / also

kins, DR.. Cutter, S. n Wood, and other notabities
of the freeState party. The principal topic the

We notice In the reported sales Of etate bonds IN
the New York market that the credit oS our State is
still on the decline The last reported sales Of Ten
nessee 6 per cent bonds show that OUR bonds are
worth only eightythree cents on the dollar, while
those of Kentucky at par. What is the cause of
thisS 1t is very apparent that the policy of our
Legislature in 1854, and in 1866, has been the
sole cause Of injuring the credit of Tennessee In
anxiety to .develope the resources of the State
our Legislature exhibited recklessness unparaell-
ed. Railroad companies were chartered all through
the State, and bonds authorized be issued at the
rate Of $4,000 per mile. In addition to this State
aid was granted for the purpose Of building bridges
bonds were authorized to issue to Turnpike COM
panies-to plank roadside the purchase of Agricul-
tural Fair grounds-to the purchase of the Hermit
tage, and to building our State capitol No man in
or out of our State tell to what extent Tennes
see may become liable, and what amount of bonds
may be issued under existing statutes. This of it.
self is enough TO create a suspicion that we have
not been sufficiently cautious, and that our Legis-
lature created debt without looking to the ability
of the State to pay the interest as it becomes due.
This is not ALL We have not only flooded the market
with our bonds, but We have chartered banks al
over the State for the purpose, as was alleged Of
promoting the commercial interests of the State
Four Bank failures have taken place in less than
three years, viz: the Mechanics Bank at Memphis
the Central Bank at Nashville the Bank of East
Tennessee at Knoxville, and the Agricultural Bank
at Brownsville. We may well revive the history of
Tennessee legislation and trace the cause of her
ined credit to the unlimited issue of bonds and the
multiplicity of banks.
Before the members of the Legislature assemble
at the capital in October next, it would be well for
them to take into consideration the report of the
President of the Bank of Tennessee and the mes
sage Of the Governor relative to winding up the
Bank of Tennessee, and using its assets in the
demptiOn of the bonds of Tennessee. Let US pay
as far as we can, and by all means let us at once
stop the issuance of bonds if possible to do SO.

THE PATRIOT ON THE SENATORIAL CUES


The Pafribt says: ''K the last Legislature had
proposed to ell In advance the vacancy Of Gov Jones
las Il is now "desired and intended" by the sham
Democracy, in the case of Mr.. Bell-the Union and
Asusriean, and the whole pack of sham Democratic
leaders would have cried out against it, and entered
into long and elaborate arguments to establish its
injustice" So
Sucha thing was talked of-was In contemplation.
The UNIcE AND AMERICAN did not cry out against 1t,
nor enter into any long and elaborate arguments on
the subject. An attempt wOTid have been made TO
supercede Gov Jones had the Know Nothings had
reliable majority in the Legislature This they soon
found they had not and for that reason the election
Of his successor was proposed in the Legislature
owe presume that the Patriot will not be so disinge
ueOus as to deny this" We are free to admit that
the Democrats would not have consented to the cleo
tion Of Know Nothing in place Of Gov. Jones, al
though he did not then claim to be Democrat. So
far, however, from its being in contemplation to re-
sort to revolutionary measures, we can assure the
PATRIOT that had the Legislature gone into cleo
tion there is scarcely room for doubt but that
should have elected Democratic United States SEN
ator.
In regard to the action of majority Of the Senate
during the sessions Of 1912, to whom the Patriot
audes as the "immorta thirteen, and in reference
to WHOM it uses the term revolutionary" need
only say that this action was based upon the ground
that concurrent vote Of the twohOuses Of the Gen
eral Assembly, acting in their legislative capacity
not as individuals in conventiOn-Was necessary to
the election of Senator in Congress, who by the
constitution is required to be elected by the LegsG
tHrs Of his State. This view of the question has
been held by many eminent jurists, amongst whom
we may enumerste Story, Kent and others, and in
several States a practice has obtained in con-
formity Herewith But this question has been ar
gued before the country time and again. The i'm
mortal thirteen have gone before their constituent
ees upon the merits of this controversy frequent y
and been re-endOrsed by the peOple-one of them
by the Patriots own party, if we mistake not. We
cannot then see the necessity Of reOpening the
question now.

have heard the name of J. C. Burch, Esq, of
Hamilton, very favorably spoken of proper per-
son to select as Speaker of the Senate. Mr.. Burch
has had considerable legislative experience, and is
familiar with parliamentary rules. lie served as
member of the House in the last Legislature aud he
did himself credit, and conferred honor upon his
constituents by the able and efficient manner in
which he served the State. His acquaintance with
the rules of the house will make him ready and
prompt Speaker, and his agreeable address in every
respect renders him very suitable for the position
have no doubt but that his election would be very
gratifying to the Democratic party throughout the

Dental canvass, and the zeal he manifested in the

THE HENRYMANDER.

Pending the late canvass the press and public
speakers of the State adverted frequently to the
gross injustice of the last superintendent of the
tiers of Tennessee into Congressional Senatorial and
Representative Districts by which the opposition
were enabled to control the legislation, nOtwith-
wilhstanding majority of the people had declared
in favor of the principles Of the Democratic party
1t was proposed in some quarters to re-dstrct the
State anew; others, among whom were the editors
of this paper were in favor of making such modif-
cations and changes only in the present appOrtion-
ment as would secure fair and equal representation
to each and every county and district and better sub
serve the public convenience. Since the election
the subject has been brought forward again by
of the Democratic journals of the State. The Muir
freesboro' Neps, under the head of "Districting
the State" says:
awe alluded last week to this subject, under the
impression that at the meeting of the Legislature
the time would have come, when, like the election
of United States Senator, it would be necessary to
re-district the State. This We inferred from the
frequent mention of the subject by some Of our co
temporaries during the late canvass, In this, we
now learn we were mistaken.
'The districing of the State the last time though
1t did great injustice to many districts and counties
was done at the proper time. Though the thing as
we prefer to endure it for the little remainder of the
ten years from the time it arranged, rather than
to do any thing that would even seem to give the
democrats an undue advantage over their opponents
Ifthe re dstrcting of the State not required of
cessity to be done, prefer to endure the Henry
mander few years longer rather than to see
Legislature depart from proper precedent to correct
the wrong done some six years ago. Public opinion
has placed our opponents in hopeless minority,
under their own arrangement, and will keep them
there"
There is no question, we believe, as to the power
of the Legislature to make changes in any of the
districts or counties and in such way and to such
extent as would amount to "redistrictng of the
State. As to the prOpriey of the exercise of this
power we are not certain. Some notifications in
cases where manifest injustice has been DONE ought,
and, we trust, will be made The great prepOnder-
ance which our party has in the State, will place
any action that the Legislature may take in this
matter above the suspicion of partisan influence,
and at the same time furnishes additional reason
why we should see that every district and county in
the State receives the full representation to which it
is entitled.
