THE STATE DEBT.
No More Aid to Railroads -Repudia-
ton of Certain Bonds Suggested

No More Aid to Railroads RepudIa-
tiOn Of Certain Bonds Suggested.
From the Paris IntelligeIcer Aug. II.
Unless the most rigid return to economy
by the incoming legislature of this State
in the entire administration Of its affairs,
the enfranchisement of the people will be
shorn of half its advantages. For what
boots it, that the people can all vote, if
they are to be made slaveS, all by inexora
bic debt. Debt too that il brought on
through extravaganza, favoritism and
special and class legislation. The people
for it is the people for once that has really
triumphed-demand Of Iheir Representa-
tive servants most emphatically that the
pruning knife be applied mercilessly I'M
sparing. We suggested in our last issue
several points that stand forth prominent
ly demanding prompt action. We pro-
pose now to only refer to two ideas.
First, if it should become part of the
organic law Of the State land the conyen-
ton should see to it, that no State-aid by
the loan of its credit should be given to
any railroad corporation. In the mean
time the next Legislature should strictly
avoid yielding to the high pressure which
any company may bring to bear upon 1t
for that purpose. There must be stopping
point, and that point il now. 1t should
have been far back in the past.
Next, we incline to the opinion that the
people of Tennessee without being al
lowed 10 vote even for the miserable
scalawags who have pretended to act as
| legislators, have been taxed considerably
more than was necessary to meet all the
legitimate wants and expenses Of the State
government. Many millions Of dollars
| worth of State bonds have been issued for
the most outrageous purposes-some, 1t i
| intimated, have been frauduently issued
BY stealth-while very many have been
| issued for the benefit of the rings. Now
as the situation in Tennessee has been
| we'll known to the civilized world, and
more especially have the lyDx-eyed
| money Shylocks who hold most o
| these bonds, known how down-troddeT
aud oppressed the people have been-hoV
that the negroes and few whites voted thu
taxes bat paid scarcely any, while the dis
franchised paid nearly the entire taxation
of the State-we say under the peculiarl.
uniust, unrighteous and desIotic manner ii
which this public debt Of Tennessee, ere
ated by self-created legislatures since tn
organization Of the present State govern
ment, that we do not feel in honor boun'
TO pay it or at least portion OF 1t. w
would pay no bond that has been ISSUED
that the people of the State has not re
ceiyed the entire benefit Of the proceeds TO
which it was sold. Upon that platform "
