The Till introduced in the House Of
REPRESENTATIVES, by Mr.. Roach several
DAYS ago, Ito enable the delinquent rail
roads to reduce the liabilities of the State
by paying theirindebtncss in the bonds Of
the State, is a very important measure.
We understand il was discussed at length
nv the committees on internal improve
mcnts of the two houses, and met the ap-
proyal Of perhaps ali the members of those
committees, and therefore carries with it
more weight than it otherwise would.
The bill is a proposition to the insolvent
roads TO compromise with them, taking
in State bonds what they are able TO
nav. AMI the Stale assuming the bal
ancc of their indebtedness. The liabili-
ties of the State created for railroads is

sidered after a most careful investigation,
that Si7, 466, AZ was secured to the State;
that the roads owing this amount are sol
vent and that the State will not sustain
any loss on their account. Although all
these roads have not fully paid up the in
tcrest on the bonds loaned them, they are
regarded as good and able TO pay. The
bill then proceeds on the idea Of compro-
missing with the insOlvent roads, taking IN
State bonds less than the amount of their
Indebtedness. The whole amount which
the insolvert roads viii have to
nav under this bill, if they
accept the terms proposed, viii be

THERE arc indications that the question

any form, AMI will demand that it will be
permitted 10 drop from The statute book
with tho expiration of Ihc limitation al

THE CONVENTION-TH POSI-
ZION OF CANDIDATES.


Maj. S. II. Whithorne, who is can
didate for the Constitutional Convention
for the counties of Bedford and Ruther-
ford, has issued a circular in which be
defines his position as follows:
l. am in favor of so amending our
Constitution as TO give every man in our
State, who is twenty one years of age, has
resided one year in the State and six
months in his county and ciUU district,
the right to Vote, and to vote only in his
own civil district.
2. L am in favor of limiting our sessions
of the Legislature to 100 days, and TO
enable it to give its undivided attention TO
public affairs, would confer the power
of granting interpretations to private COM
panies or enterprises upon our county or
circuit courts, at the expense of the ap-
plicants.
3. | would place a constitutional limit
on the power of the Legislature to grant
State aid TO internal Improvements.
/. am in favoring of placing the ap-
pOintment Of our Supreme Court Judges
in the hands of our Governor, subject TO
the ratification of the State Senate, be
lieving that by this means we would more
certainly secure the best legal talent in the
State and an incOnuptible Judiciary.
.. | shall favor any and all amendments
which shall look to retrenchment and re
form, and prompt reduction of the taxes
of the people, and 10 the permanent Sccu-
rity of their rights and liberties.
Elsewhere in our paper to-day will be
found a communication placing the name
of Col. John \. Gardner before the peo-
pie as a candidate for delegate 10 the pro
posed Constitutional Convention from
Weakley county. He is a sterling citizen,
whom his fcllow-citizcns love to honor
one who has served faithfully in import
ant positions heretofore man possessed
of all those traits that make up the we'll

the State win assume for these insolyent
roads. The arguments advanced in favor
of the propositions contained in Mr.
Roach's bill were, as we understand, that
such a settlement of our railroad compi
cations would show our true financial
condition that while the Indebtedness of
the State was reported about $40, 000, 900,
it had good security for over
$I7, 1000, coo OF its railroad debt;
that by a. compromise with the in
solvent roads before they are run down
andusterlydestreyed, and while State bonds
are selling at low prices, and releasing
the lien of the State, these roads could, by
sale or mortgage, raise money enough to
pay a very large proportion of their in
debtedness in the manner proposed; and
that while the roads would pay, if re-
duced TO money, less than half their Tia
bility to the State, they would pay nearly
three-fourths of their entire debit upon
which the State is paying interest If
the roads accept the terms proposed in the
event of the passage Of the bill, and then
fail to comply, the difficult question of the
power to sell before the bonds fall due
viii be obviated, while if they do not ac-
cept, the question win be at once
made, and the insolvent roads sold
if it can be done by legisla-
ton and judicial proceedings. If the
roads should accept the terms proposed
by MIR. Roach's bill, the Indebtedness of
the State may be reduced nearly thirty
millions in short time, leaving the in
debtedness of the State, including the
outstanding notes of the Bank of Ten
nessee, some So, 900, 900 or SIS, 900, 600.
This it is argued the State can manage
without much trouble The bill will soon
come up for consideration, and it is but
fair that it should have the consideration
of the best minds in the Legislature.
