OUR RAILROADS.

The recent action Of certain holders Of
Tennessee bonds in the city Of New York
has giyenan additional phase to the cmJar-
easements which surround our railroad
legislation. We have on former occasions
indicated our views as to what we regard
the best policy 10 be pursued. Without
lengthy repetition, we deem il important
only to call to mind the great and varied
interests which are involved in the future
of our internal improvements. The State is
interested financially to q very great extent
by reason of the loans which she has
made to various roads, and the interest
which she has paid for them. Many of
the difficulties which are upon us are IN
doubleday the result Of unwise, if not
reckless, legislation. Many of them are
the natural results Of the desolating war
through which we have lately passed,
and by which the railroads Of Tennessee
suffered more severely than those of any
other State. The State has also further
and very great financial interest in
seeing that her railroad system
is properly kept up and man
aged. The prostration of this system orits
unwise or unfriendly management would
prove detrimental, yes, ruinous to every
other interest in the State, private OF pub
lie. She could not afford to see them
pass into the hands of those who are not
identified with her politically and mater
ally. There might easily be q greater in
Jury to her financially than the loss of ev-
cry dollar she has loaned TO her railroads.
Those VINO are familiar with the manner
in which the capitalists of New York have
reached out and gathered hold Of the great
railroads extending west from that mighty
CITY, know full well the power they have
exercised in making the States through
which those lines pass tributary TO New
York. The continued railroad struggles
in which the Nanlcrbilts, Jay Goulds,
Fisks and others of the money kings of
New York, have been SO constantly en-
gagged, show the importance which these
capitalists attach 60 their management.
But, independent OF the interest which
the State has directly and her people gen
en.lly in these railroads, the stockholders,
principally citizensof the State, have also
an interest which no Tennessee Legs
lature can ignore. Before the op-
portunity can be presented OF permit
ting these roads TO pass into for
eign hands, the opportunity Should be
presented to the stockholders Of saving
the vast sums which they have expended.
This can be done and the management
of the roads continued in the hands Of
Tennesseeans by allowing the stockhold-
crs to relieve their roads of their liabli-
ties TO the State by the payment of those
liabilities in the bonds or coupons upon
which the State is liable. 1t is suggested
Inv some of the bondholdArs that this
could not relieve the roads from their liza
biIities to them. If the stockholders
upder the best legal advice which they
can obtain think otherwise and are will
inc 70 make the investment, the Legisla-
ture can certainly interpose unreasonable
objection.

There is one point in regard to fraudu
lent registration to which we desire 10
direct attention in this connection. In
''loyal East Tennessee We find that the
registrars appointed by Gov. Brownlow
had registered in all but two counties in
that division of the State 40,s6l citizens
up TO March !, 1869, as legal voters, and
that at the August election there were
A., 7O5 cas- for Senter and Stokes for Gov
ernor just ,S44 more than had been
registered by the Brownlow registrars.
The following table giving the number
registered by The Brownlow registrars, to
whose '1oyaliy" and honesty Mr.. Horace
Maynard and his co-memorialists make no
objection, and the vote actually cast IN
August, after the registrars appointed by
Gov. Senter had done their work, viii

Grand total .lI744s 1866
This table shows that only 30, 1877 more
persons voted in these seventy counties
than were registered by the BrOwnlow
registrars previous to March l, 1869. Ii
is admitted even by Radicals, that the
Supreme Court by its decision at Browns
vile restored the right of the ballot to at
least twenty thousand citizens not in
Guided in these registration returns, but
who had been deprived Of their right to
vote by the Legislature repeating the first
franchise law, and the arbitrary action Of
Gov. Brownlow in setting aside The regis
tTatiOn OF whole counties, so that in
the seventy counties composing the
above table, there were over $50, coo Legal
voters according TO the Brownlow regis
trars and the Radical Supreme Court Of
the State Every man at all acquainted
with the people of the seventy counties
we have included in our comparative
table, knows that they contained largely
over 10000 citizens who were en-
titled to vote under fair and just
construction of the franchise law,
but were denied registration upon
one pretext or another, the real reason
however being that they would not vote
the Radical ticket Ii was forthis refusal
to register men clearly entitled to vote I'M
der "the constitution and law Of the
State, that Gov. Senter removed so large
number of registrars. This statement
Of facts, figures copied from the official
records IN the Secretary of SHte's office,
completely disproves the assertion Of Mr..
Horace Maynard and his co-memorialists,
that the August election was carried by
fraud and illegal votes. That having
been disposed of, the whole memorial
falls to the ground as a piece of malignity
hatchcdup by set of men who feel that
their tenure Of Office Will soon close if
