WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH
TENNESSEE MONEY

There are several propositions before
the Legislature touching the question of
taxes and the notes of the Bank of Ten
nessee. One proposition is that parties
owning old issues of the bank may pay
One-fourth of their taxes with the same !;
another provides that revenue collectors
may receive one-third of the taxes in
notes of the bank and another is that all
the notes of the bank Heretofore paid
and now in circulation, the same being
genuine and not fraudulently issued, shall
be receivable in payment of any revenue
that may be due to or demanded by the
State This last is in accordance with
the stipulation in the charter of the bank.
The proposition to receive from tax
payers a small portion of their taxes in
the notes of the Bank of Tennessee
would, if enacted into law, operate OPP
pressively upon the class of small tax-pay-
ers, who would not feel willing or able to
contest their rights in the premises, while
the large taxpayers, being wealthy,
would appeal to the courts to protect them
in their rights, and they would be sure TO
carry their point Any law that may
now be enacted which would stipulate
that taxpayers should pay only a
small portion of their taxes in
the notes of the Bank of Ten
nessee, while it would be an attempt
to evade the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, would
inure to the injury of that class of our
citizens who are least able to bear any ad-
ditional burdens. There can be no ques-
ton that the court has decided that the
stipulation in the twelfth section of the
charter to receive the notes of the bank
Gin all payments for taxes or other
monies due to the State, " is a contract
which cannot be eyaded by any resort
short of reputation. The Legislature
should meet this matter in a different
spirit Some plan should be devised, if
possible, by which the notes of the Bank
of Tennessee can be retired without
causing the great inconvenience and hard
ship to the State that would necessari-
ly result from having to take
these notes in payment for taxes
and other dues to the State in large
quantities. Let the members of the
Legislature address themselves to this sub
ject, and when they have matured plan
that will be at all acceptable to the cred
itors of the State, these creditors will not
exhibit factious spirit that would avail
itself of temporary advantage. Cannot
some member suggest a feasible plan to
get ont of this difficulty, which will at
once please the people and secure their
cooperation Let this question be dealt
with in the spirit of enlarged statesman
ship, and not that of hard-case of a
debtor who has it in his power to prescribe
terms to his creditors, and the citizens of
the State who hold the notes of the bank
will be found ready to so act as to relieve
the State from temporary embarrassment.

State Of Tennessee-By the Governor
A PROCLAMATION.

TTNHE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
God in the progressive welfare Of the nation, re-
commends day OF National Thanksgiving In the
aisterhood Of States Tennessees reasons for graft
trde are by no means the least Her people share
the general good. No blight has here destroyed
the fruits of the soil; catastrophe has befallen
the labors of our craftsmen; no commercial disas-
tiers overtaken our merchants; no pestilence in
vaded our land. The industry of the tiIlers Of
the SOIL of the tOilers in the mines of the arth-
GERS in wood, copper, iron and stone, and the
learned professions, has been prOspered. Schools
have been multiplied. Churches have been opened.
The ruptures and animosities Of the past are fast
fading into forgetfulness The smiles and joys Of
peace have abounded throughout the union Of
States. The liberty of every man is assured.
These blessings have not come to us by chance.
They bespeak our gratitude to their Alwtse Oliver.
We should seek of Him their increase and confirm
alton in the future.
We have been taught, from the Sacred Word, by
devout parents, that the Lord taketh pleasure In
them that fear Hmm His mercy He healeth the
broken in heart; He bindeth up their wounds. He
telleth the number Of the stars; He prepareth
rain for the earth; He maketh grass to grow upon
the mountains; He maketh peace in our borders.
Now, therefore, l, d. W. c. Senter, Governor OF
the State of Tennessee, do hereby recommend that
THURSDAY, THE 18th DAY OF NOVEMBER, inst, be
observed as a day Of thanksgiving, prayer, and
praise to Almighty God, the Civer of every good
and perfect gift. do further recommend that all
the people of the State do assemble on that day in
their accustomed places of public worship and
unitedly render homage and praise to the Creator
and Preserver of all things, and deyoutly implor'
His continuance of the manifold blessings He Ii
now bestOwing upon the people Of the State ant
nation.

or Fenton's friends say he interfered in their
Senatorial fight against their man. Morton
is a bitter enemy OF Defries, if not of Colfax.
and this is part of the old State fight The
failures at Chicago have found their way into
abe Senate Chamber. At any rate, Morton
will make but little by Defries removal as he
will 60 back to Indiana, restart paper, and
begin fierce fight against the Senator's infiu-
ence.
One thing seen in this caucus was that the
Republican South and West combined could
rule The old Senators, who have had abso-
lutte control, for eight years past, are rather
startled.
APPoINTMENTs-THE ADMINISTRATION RULE.
The President, and his Secre tares have dis
tinetly announced that they will appoint no
one to Office who is not Republican of un-
mistakable dye They will not removed from
Office faithful officers who are Republican in
character. Postmaster General Cresswell
says that no Democrat. male or female, can
stay in his Department. Secretary Cox will
appoint none but Republicans to Office. The
Indian Bureau is sure to be so run, seeing that
