STATE oE TENNESSEE,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Nashville, Feb. 18th, 1866 J

NdSHVILeI p6D. IobD, looO
To Presidents and Receivers Of Railroads IN the State
of Tennessee:
Owing to the tardiness of some of the Railroad
Companies and the total failure of others to meet
the instalments of interests due from them the
lst of January last the bonds of the State issued
TO them the credit of the State has received
blow, and the Treasury of the State not anticipa-
ting such failures has had to exert its utmost capac
ity. The bond-holders of the State must receive
their dues; and yet the people of the State must
not be taxed TO excess to raise money that the Kali
road Companies are bound in law and in good faith
to pay. 1t is the policy and purpose of this State
Government, by every means in its power, to pre-
vent a recurrence of this kind in the future.
1t is the duty of each Railroad Company, at least
fifteen days before each installment of interest upon
the bonds issued to it fall due to deposit with the
Comptroller, or one of the Fiscal Agents of the
State, sum of money sufficient to pay such inter-
est. Upon failure, it is the duty Of the Comptrol
Ter to report the fact to the Governor, who shall
forthwith appoint suitable person, at the expense
of the Company, to take possession and control of
the road, and all the property and effects OF the
Company, and manage the same, and receive the
rents, issues and profits. These rents, issues and
profits are to be applied to the payments Of the in
terest due from said deaulting road These are the
plain literal provisions of the Code of Tennessee.
1t is further provided, that the Legislature may
"enact all laws to protect The State interests which
may extend to a sale of the roads if deemed neces-
sary.
It is the purpose of the undersigned officers of the
State Government SO far as their power avail,
to enforce these provisions of the law; and if any
Railroad Company shall be in arrears for the Jan
uary interest on the first day of April next, Re-
ceiver will be at once appointed; and if any such
company shall fail by the Doth day of June nextto
have deposited with the Comptroller or the Fiscal
Agents Of the Treasury an amount sufficient to pay
the July interest due from such Company Receiv-
er will be forthwith appointed in strict accordance
with the provisions of the law. A strict examina-
ton will be made into the management of roads al
ready in the hands of Receivers, and where proper
efforts have not been made to meet liabilities for in
terest, change in the Recevership will at once be
made.
w. G. BRowNLow, Governor.

as Mr.. Camps. Though one Of tho roungest law
yers In East Tennessee and unassuming in person
ne evidently one Of the greatest acquisitions 70

Letter from Colorado.

From the Territory of Colorado, we have receiy-
the following letter from an old subscriber
DENVER CRY, Col. TER, Feb. 9Th, 1867.
Messrs. Broa0nLotV & Hai0s: am not q citizen Of
your State but feel interest in your prosperity
believe that the Convention that is to assemble
at Nashville, on the ed instant, should by all
means nominate Governor Brownlow as candi-
date for Governor. In him you have a man tried
and true; he can be trusted at all times and under
al circumstances.
Your Legislature should without hesitation give
to the negro the ballot, and my word for it. he will
do as good service with it as he did with the mus
ket during the rebellion. Yours, &c,

owed.

The 22d inst was grand occasion for holding a
State Convention of loyal men. As the anniver-
sary of the birthday of the immortal George
Washington, who spent large portion Of his val
liable life in labors to build up and cement the
Union, it was peculiarly appropriate for any work
intended to build up and cement Tennessee attach
ment to the Union.
The skies we're suspicious, and the day pleasant
At an early hour large United States flag was
suspended over the front portal of the capitol and
the flights Of steps in the interior, leading to the
second story were studded with guidons which had
directed the movement of many body of troops
which had fought to sustain the government OF our
fathers.
The representative hall was similarly adorned
The portrait of the martyr Lincoln hanging on the
western wall, was surrounded with the emDiems OF
our nationality which he loved so well, while the
portrait of his successor in the presidential Office
on the opposite WALL the apostate johnson, was
left as bare and as neglected as his own fate.
The attendance of delegates was very large
Every county in the State had made selections of
representatives and was directly present. except in
e few cases by proxies. The enthusiasm and una
nimity were remarkable. Probably a convention
more In accord regarding the objects for which it
was called, never assembled. Every proposition
coming before it was adopted or rejected with
oneness of judgment and feeling which augur
for the results of the approaching cam
paign Floor and galaries were alike crowded. and
enthusiasm marked every stage of the proceedings.
TELEGRAM FROM OUR CoSGREssMEN.
The following telegram, dated Washington, Feb

RESOLUTIONS ON THE SCHOOL BILL.

Judge N. A. Patterson offered the following res
olutions, which were unanimously adopted;
ReSotred, That it is the deliberate sense of this
convention that the highest and most sacred inter-
ests of the State of Tennessee demand that its pres
ent able Legislature before its adjournment mature
and pass comprehensive and efficient school bill,
and that in doing So they will accomplish more for
the promotion, growth, strength and permanent
prosperity of the people State than any other
legislative act.
ResotUed, That our Legislature in considering
and acting upon this important question, are re-
specially, yet earnestly asked to avail themselves
OF the advantages as precedents of the action taken
by other and older States this important subject
and that theycombne all thegood features possible
and by all means give the system full measure of
life that it may be to State standing as it now
does on the front line Of civil progress, great
social and moral engine Of power, for the accom-
pllshment Of the largest measure of gotS.
Representative William Wines said that as the
bill would come up on Monday next for action, he
was glad to have decided an expression from so
large and respectable convention, representing all
parts of Tennessee Il w5dld strengthen the bill
In the Legislature to have the voice of the people
For want Of time and space we are unable to
give the proceeding in full this week.

AMUSING INCIDENTS.

A facetiously inclined delegate remarked that he
saw the portrait of Lincoln, side of the hall
decorated with national flags while the portrait of
Johnson, on the other side, was neglected and bare
He suggested that as the latter had been active in
cutting off the heads of radical ofice-hoIders and
in kicking out of Office crippled Union soldiers to
fill their places with men of different stripe COM
mittee of thirtysx should be appointed to hold the
cidency quiet during the session of the convention
The proposition was received with storm of laugh
ter and applause that would have made the apostate
in the White House vince could he have heard it.
A delegate proposed that the portrait be invert-
ed, to which amendment was wittily offered to turn
it upside down
