The organs of the bOndh0ldcrS pre-
tend that the funding scheme which
"reilccts" the Chicago Platform reduces
the interest upon the property of the
public debt. The pretense is false.
The fve-twcnties comprise tho great
bulk Of national debt. The Chicago
Platform scheme is for funding them
alone. These bonds are payable in the
legal tender money Congress compels
the people 10 take. A dollar in these
bonds today is worth 6S cents in gold.
At 6 per cent, the present rate of the
fve-twentics, the earnings of those Gs
cents in 30 yeafs would be 81 %. Now
the Chicago Platform bill proposes to
enhance the value of this 6S cents by
making it 100 in the conversion of the
bonds, and to pay 4i per cent. upon it
for ~ years, making its earnings 81 80.

Eve miles Of Us. We have known him personally
for nearly fifty years-much of that time intimate

Congressional Canvass.

Wa have not hitherto noticed some of the nomi-
nations made for Congress
In the First District the Republicans have nomi-
mated the present incumbent R. R. Butler. The
Democrats have nominated cur old friend, Col. a
A. Kyle Personally we like him. but we are hap
py in the assurance that Butler viii beat him by
about ten thousand majority. Thore is not Dis
srict in the United States with larger Republican
majority than the First District of Tennessee, ex
cept Gen. GarAelds, in Ohio. All our information
from the Fret District is TO the effect that there
viii be no split there in the Republican ranks, and
that Butler will receive the undivided support of his
party.
In this, the Second District, no opponent to Hon.
Horace Maynard has been announced. OF his cleo
ton we have no doubt. Last year his majority was
about nine thousand, and his compeitor Col. John
Williams, made as good, if not better, run than
could any man Of his party have,done.
In the Third District the present able member,
Gen. w. B. Stokes, is the Republican nominee. A.
T. Garret, Of 0verton, boiler and disorganizer of
the last Legislature of very small calibre, is his
Democratic competitor. Stokes viii be elected by
several thousand majority.
In the Fourth District, now represented by Col.
James Mullins, true man, Col. Lewis Tillman,
another true and able man is the Republican nomi-
nee, and will surely be elected.
In the Fifth District our party is split all 10
pieces. Several Republican candidates are on the
track, each claiming to be the nominee of the regu-
lar Convention. If the split is not healed some
Kuklux may be elected from the Capital District
John Trimble the present able member, is not a
candidate.
In the Sixth District the present efficient member
and noble patriot s. NJ. Arnell, viii be and should
be elected over q miserable dsorganizer calling
himself 8 Republican.
In the Seventh District Col. Isaac r. Hawkins is
the Republican nominee and will surely be elected.
Like Maynard and Arnell, he has been member
of the seth and 4Oth Congress. In this and the
Fourth District the Democrats have not nominated
their men.
In the Eighth, or Memphis District, our party is
divided. Two Republican candidates, d. A. Mum,
the present member, and Gen. w j. Smith, State
Senator, each claim TO be the regular NOMINEES.
Unless some compromise is made here we fear the
election of Leftwich, Kuklux candidate

Is State Militia forbidden by the Con.
StitutiOn?

The Governor of Tennessee has been en-
powered by the Legislature of that State to
call out and organize uniformed militia,
to aid in preserving public order. The
President, it is said regards the measure as
an infraetion Of the provision of the Consti-
tuition which forbids individual States to
keep troops or ships Of war in time Of peace,
and threatens to employ the national forces
to prevent its contamination. Is there any
ground for such action on his part?
The best way to meet this question is to
look at the consequences of answering it in
the affirmative. IF be contrary to the
Constitution to make the use Of the militia
of State which Governor Brownlow pro-
poses to do, it is unlawful to make any use
OF it whatever, excepting nnder the direct
orders of the President, or some United
States officer. The State may perhaps Or
ganize, equip, and drill portion Of its citi-
zens as soldiers, but it may not call those
citizens to suppress riot or repel violence
Indeed, it would be doubtful whether it
could 60 even so far as to keep militia at
all Carried to its utmost extent, the Presi-
dents doctrine would destroy this kind of
military force throughout the Union, and
leave no troops IN existence but those which
he commands directly.
We cannot believe that this is the true
construction Of the Constitution. 1t is not
that which has practically been put upon
that instrument for moro than eighty years,
and it is opposed to the view of the rights
Of States which the Democratic party has
always upheld, and which their antagon-
lists, TO this extent at least, have not denied.
Imagine the militia Of this State taken from
under the control of the Governor, and
made responsible only to the President or
his apo intees The widest advocate of
Capitalization never yet went to this length.
If Gov. bsownlow~ should 20 on to use
the Tennessee militia against sister State
or against the United States, then, indeed,
1t would be the Presidents duty to inter
tere and protect the country against him !;
but so long as he merely preserves the pub
lie peace in region which all acknowledge
lamentibly needsa strong arm to govern It,
and which it is his sworn duty to govern,
he IS doing no more that any public officer
has right to do His militia are simply
a police force and for the President TO
break 1t up, would be as unwise as it would
be unwarrantable.--NeC York Sun.

The Supreme Court.
SENIOR EDITOR.

This Court of highest and last resort in Tonnes
see commences its regular session here on Monday
next. Two Of the three Judges having resigned,
viz Messrs. Milligan and Harrison, Judge Smith,
from the Western Division alone remains TO consti-
tute the Court The Governor claims the right,
under the laws and the amended Constitution, to
appoint special Judge in of death or resigna-
ton, and in pursuance of this right and authority
he has appointed Hon. Horace Maynard to assist IN
holding the Court here for the months of Septenn-
Der and October. Tho rebel papers are manifesting
quite deep concern for the holding of the Courts
by qualified men. When we can 40 longer find men
of integrity and sblity in own ranks to appoint
to these high judicial positions we will call upon the
rebels to furnishas substitutes. judges of the su-
preme Court should be able, impartial and patriotic
men, rising above mere party politics in their de-
eisions, but they should be men who will stand by
the State Government and sustain the late impor-
tant decisions Of their predecessors. And when we
appoint msn;to seat on the Supreme bench we
must understand him TO I'll this bill.

SEVEN hundred and eighty miles of the

with which this great work is pushed on
can hardly be too much commended when
we remember the important interests that
depend upon it. Can railroad be built
with such CELEBRITY and yet be built we'll
Will not safety and pcrmanence be sacri-

suggests itself as every few days we hear Of
another twenty mile section completed vet

lasted, runs smoothly, and has been built
to last, thirty editors, responsible repre-
sentatives ofthe leading newspapers of the
