United states supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Attorney Gen
eral Stanberry spoke at length in the Su-
preme Court to-day in opposition to grant
ing the petition of Georgia for an injuuc-
ton. His argument was to the effect that
the court had no jurisdiction over that case.
1t was not within reason or spirit of the
constitution; that the reconstruction act,
as executed by ,he President, works no
harkships to the people of the South, as
they can do as.they please under it, and that
this was a political case and could only he
be reached by political remedies.
Mr.. OConner argued for the injunction
on the ground that it was ordered to be
done under the acts OF Congress, and was,
in all its length and breath, unconstitu-
tional and void. The argument will be
resumed next Friday, when Robert F..
Walker will be heard for the State of Mis-
sissippi and the Attorney General will
reply to him.

LARGE PROMISE AND LEAN FER
FORM NEE

TORRANCE.
The message Of Gov Brownlow Of 1865,
speaking of the assets of the Bank of
Tennessee as returned from the Confede-
racy, says:
advise that out of the proceeds of what
is LEFT Of the bank, the common,-ehool fund
shall be, as far as possible, replaced This
large fund emanated mainly from the gene
raj government, and was held by the State
in sacred trust. The declaration Of this
trust may be found in the act of Congress
which created it, and is for the instruction
of children forever And by the consti-
tuition it is declared to be "a permanent
fund" never to be diminished by legislative
appropriation" nor the interest devoted
to any other use than the support, and en-
enlargement of common schools" Perhaps
more periidious act than the appropria-
ton of this fund to reasonable purposes
was not committed during the late per6di-
Gus rebellion.
What q commentary upon this Ian
guage, 50 freely ineulpatOry of the acts of
its former guardians, and so self-compla-
cent in assurance of the fidelity of those
then in charge, is its presentaeonditien,
Is it ga permanent fund now, and
where is the permanent abiding place of
nearly one-half of it2 Was it held for
the instruction Of children forever =,
How much diminution has this sacred
trust never to be diminished by legisla-
tive appropriation suffered ? What
other use than the support and ems
couragement of common schools" has it
| been devoted to?

THE WAY THEMONEY GOES-RADI
CAL EXTRAVAGANCE.

The people ofTennessee are burdened
with taxes as they never were before. In
addition to the government taxes, our
State taxes this year will amount to near
" five times what we had to pay in 1869.
This is the result of the outrageous ex-
travagance of the present State govern.
ment Let us look into this matter lit
tie and see how the money wrung from
the people they have DISTINGUISHED, has
been squandered by our Radical authOri-
ties.
The EXPENSES Of the late Legislature
from the organization of that body in
April, 1863, to its final adjournment in
March, 1867. have been as follows
Mileage and per diem of Members
and Officers. IN currency, al 81 for
every sixteen miles travelled and 81
perday. a. per appropriation bills $23l ,l54 i
Additional pay q AZ per een { the
to March ii, 1857 $4,000 90
Legislstiye Expenses II .92S A.
Postage for 5000 0C
Cost OF newspapers furnished Mem
5255 q
Public Printing $1,000 90
Total. ss95. AS OF
The item of public printing" includes
the printing of the Governors procla-
nations, etc, by numerous papers
throughout the State bat it does not in
clude much of the printing for the
last session Of the Legislature. The
balance still to be paid on this ac-
count will exceed all disbursements on
account of publishing the Governors
prOclamations, etc
Now let us see by contrast, what an
expensive luxury a Radical Legislature
is. The Legislature Of 1880, of which
there were four sessions, cost the State
for mileage and per diem ofmembers and
officers, about 100000, being $4,000
less than the late Legislature has cost
The postage for members for the FIRST ses>
sion cost Sll32, and for all four sessions
did not perhaps amount to $1,000, being
less by one half that Of the late Legisla-
ture Here we have a useless expendi-
turs on account of the mileage and per
diem of members and officers Of the Les
gislature amounting to over $2OO,oOo, for
the necessary legislation should not have
cost as much as in 1890.
The Legislature having expended money
with reckless disregard Of the interests
of the people, let MS go into the Cover
nor's Office and see what sort Of economy
has been practiced there. Governor
Brownlow has had paid staff during the
entire time he has been in Office, an APP
pendage other Governors have enjoyed
free of expense to the State. Let us see
what the expenses of Governor Brown
low staff have been:
