pay nearly three-fourths of their en-
tire debt, upon which the State is pay
ing 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
will be obviated, while if they do not
accept, the question will be at once
made, and the insolvent roads sold il
it eau be done by legislation and ju-
dicial proceedings. If the roads
should accept the terms proposed by
Mr.. Roach'S bill, the Indebtedness OF
the State may be reduced nearly thirty
millions in a short time, leaving the
Indebtedness of the State, including
the outstanding notes of the Bank Of
Tennessee, some $I2,000,000 or Sl5,-
1000. This it is argued the State
can manage without much trouble.
The bill will soon come up for con-
sideration, and it is but fair that it
should have the consideration of the
best minds in the Legislature.

OUR STATE DEBT.
A Plan for IFS Immediate Reduction.

The Nashville Union and american
of Friday says the bill introduced in
the House of Representatives, by Mr..
Roach, several days ago, "to enable
the delinquent railroads To reduce the
liabilities of the State by paying their
Indebtedness in the bonds of the
State" is a very important measure.
We understand il was discussed at
length by the Committees on Internal
improvements of the two Houses,
and met the approval 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 pay,
and the State assuming the balance OF
their Indebtedness. The liabilities of
the State created for railroads is $34,-
639, ,0S4. OF this amount it was con-
sidered, after a most careful investiga-
ton, that SI7, ,466,7 ,7l3 was secured to
the State; that the roads owing this
amount are solvent, and that the State
will not sustain any loss on their ac-
count. Although all these roads have
not fully paid up the interest 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, TAX
ing in State bonds less than theamOunt
of their Indebtedness. The whole
amount which the insOlyent roads will
have to pay under this bill, If they
accept the terms proposed, will be
$ll ,533, ,600,- leaving $685. which
the State will assume for these insol-
vent roads. The arguments advanced
in favor of the propositions contained
in Mr.. ROach's bill were, as we under
stand, that such a settlement of our
railroad complications would show
our true financial condition; that
while the Indebtedness of the State
was reported about $40, 600, 900, it had
good security for over $l7, ,OOO, 900 of
It's railroad debt; that by a compro-
mise with the insOlvent roads before
they are run down and utterly des-
troyed, and while State bonds are SELL
ing at low prices, and releasing the
lien of the State, these roads could, by
sale or mortgage, raise money enough
10 pay very large proportion of their
indebtedness in the manner proposed !;
and that while the roads would pay,
IL reduced to money, less than half
their liability to the State, they would

STARTLING NEWS.
A War of Races imminent in
Mississippi.
ApprehensieRs of Citizens---BIO0dy
ARRAY Anticipated.
Negroes Threaten to Burn Water
Valley and Hin0na.

We learn from passengers who ar
rived yesterday On the Mississippi and
Tennessee and Mississippi Central
Railroads, that an alarming state of
affairs exists in North Mississippi,
and that a war of races is imminent,
ifnot already actively inaugurated.
Our informant states that night be-
fore last armed bands of negroes para
ded the streets of the town of Vino
ma, and that a collision had taken
place between them and the citizens,
in which several shots were fired, no
one being killed, however. The ne
grOes became at last so threatening
that Capt. Campbell, mayor of the
town, and the editor of the Winona
Democrat went to Grenada to obtain
the protection of the United States
troops stationed at that point.
On arriving at Grenada they found
that Gen Pennyballer and his COM
mand had started before daybreak
Monday,morning for Water Valley, at
the urgent solicitations of the citizens
of that town, who were in anticipation
Of the very same scenes and horrors
as those of Winona-armed bands of
negroes parading the streets and
threatening to burn the town.
From Senatobia the same rumors
come to Us. We learned last night
that Alcorn addressed an immense as
semblage of negroes there yesterday,
and the utmost excitement prevailed.
On the whole the condition Of
affairs Is one to justify the gravcst
forebodings and alarm. Under the
existing circumstances, it Will be a
miracle indeed, if blood be not spilled
before the close of the election, which
commences to-day. 1t behooves, there
fore, good citizens to use every honor
able endeavOr to avert so dire a ca
lamity, and to bear with patience
many things which, under other cir
cumstances, would not be tolerated an
instant. Arms should be appealed to
only as a last resort; but, if they have
to be used, there can be no trifing,
and the blacks will be taught a lesson
which the race can never forget.

TENN.

st. Louis levied and proceeded TO col
lect the tax. An Injunction was OBJ
tanned to restrain the collection, but
it was afterwards dissolved, and the
complaint dismissed, the court hold
ing that the clauses of exemption in
the acts vested no rights in the corpo-
rations. Appeal is taken. The argu-
ment is that as the constitution OF the
State, existing at the date of those en-
actments, did not prohibit exemption,
the acts were valid, and being valid
they create contracts which vested
the right of exemption in the corp0-
rations beyond the reach of repeal on
tiro contract of the State. The accep-
tance of this charter and the under
taking to carry them out in the man
ner prescribed by law are acts main
tanned to be a sufficient consideration
of the contract.
IMPORTANT TO PURCHASERS OF CON
FEDERATE CONVERSATIONS.
A case is now pending before the
United States Supreme Court which
involves the validity of title obtained
by a purchaser at a sale under contiS-
cation made by the Confederate States,
pursuant TO their sequestration act Of
August, 1861. One Mr.. Lee, resi-
dent of Pennsylvania, prior to the
war owned large flock OF sheep in
Texas, which were in charge of an
agent. At the suit of the Confederate
Government they Were confscated,
and one Knox became purchaser at
the sale. After the war Mr.. Lee
hrouUbt sniff i'm the Ctircuit CoUrt for
the District of Texas to recover dam
ages of Knox for the wrongful taking
of the sheep. The verdict was for the
plaintiff, the Court instructing the
Jury that Knox obtained no tide by
his purchase. Appeal Is taken, Knox
insisting that as the Confederate
States were a de facto government,
having acknowledged belligerent
rights, a title possessed by them in
pursuance of cQnfiscation was valid.
Their right TO exercise the power as
means Of war was undoubted.

IMPORTANT LAW SUITS
IJARIIITY OF srrRETrFs.

LIABILITY OF SIRETlES.
In the case of the United States
against Henry G. Smith and others,
now before the United States Supreme
Court, the question is raised, whether
the principal and sureties on a license
bond under the internal revenue act
OF 1862 and supplementary acts, are
liable for violations of the law by the
principal, after the expiration of Ii
cense. The defendants were princi-
pal and sureties, upon coal oil dis
tiller's bond, and they claimed that,
upon the expiration of the license.
their liability ceased; but the Govern
ment holding them responsible, they
appealed TO the courts, where, at the
Circuit Court for the Northern Dis
trict of Ohio, the judges were divided
in opinion on the question. 1t was
accordingly certified of, and decision
thereon is now pending.
IMPORTANT TO CHARIT4BL INsTITU-
TIoNs.
In the Supreme Court of the United
States there was to-day argued a case
of some eimportance to educational and
charitable institutions of the States.
In 1853 the State of Missouri, by its
Legislature, incorporated the institu-
ton known in st. Louis as the Wash
ington University and Home of the
Friendless, and by the acts of incor-
poration and supplementary acts pro-
vide that property held by those insti-
tutions should be exempt from State
taxation. Pursuant to this legislation
the corporations were founded and
have since become large property
holders. The new constitution of the
State, adopted in 1865, authorized the
levying of the usual tax upon their
property, the same as ON other prop
erty in the State, and in the same
year the Legislature repealed the
clauses of exemption in the acts incor-
porating them, and the Collector Of
