iGpFI'E L. 10 THE MEMPHIS AfFEAL-l
NAsHvILLE. October y, 2:30 p.m.-The
bonds of the State, which recently have
been on the decline, will, it is thought by
the shrewd money men of NASHVILLE, take
anupward tendency, based upon that part
Of the Governors message, delivered to-
dav.which recommends the saleof sllrail-
reads that have failed to pay interest on
their bonds. Very many of the members
OF the Legislature are in favor of this
policy as the lesser Of two evils. Either
that must be done and the State be re-
lieved Of ever $4,000, 900 indebtedness
and responsibility for the annual interest
thereon, or we will be driven into bank
ruptcy or reputation. As this last must
not be thought Of, it is deemed proper that
the railroads be forced to come to time,
or, in default, that they be sold 10 the
highest bidder. We must be relieved Of
fhe debt and the taxation that burdens
every industry in the State. Another re-
COMMUNICATION of Senter's that meets
with fayor is that immigration be en-
eouraged by legislation, and by liberal
policy on the part of the people. II is
true that Tennessee is having her share
OF people. We want wealth and must
have people to make it. The Governor
also recommends and approves the present
scs6S,siFaaIig On this point there will

an dac,-IterS to law, and to punish sll
l,und derelict in law or as To their public
obligations as servants of the people. His
recommendations AS TO universal suffrage
and the Fifteenth Amendment will not
fare well. They will occasion, perhaps, a
little discussion, but II viii only be with
a view 70 show the entire fairness of spirit
that charsetsrizes members rather than
any leaning by the majority toward so
dagrant an outrage upon the States as this
Fifteenth Amendment, or any squirting
toward political heresy like universal
suffrage. ThelFifteenth Amendment Will
never pass this Legislature, and universal
suffrage has the cold shoulder al
ready. Il is as dead as the Lib
eral party. The Legislature is eminently
Conservative, and will be judicious
ia whatever il attempts of legislation. 1t
has only the good OF the people at heart.
The suspension Of the Press and Times
IS Indefinite. There is some talk of
new organ, but DO not think it will sue
ceed.
Gnbert's theatrical effort here Is com
plete success. Dalton triumphs on Gill
bert's boards.
