now THE STATE TREASURY
HAS Rem RANRRuPTEn.

AAAS AAA1A1AN NAV n n ~ - AlA@e
The question is very often asked, Why
is it that Tennessee is in the straitened
financial condition that we find it TO day |!
Let Us see if q solution cannot be found
in the management of the State under
Radical rule from April, 1865, to Sept.
80, 1859. The reports of the ComptrOl-
Ter show that the receipts into the treasury
from the beginning of the Brownlow
administration to the 3Olh of September,
1869, amounted to s9,o26, 5S4, of which
there was received from railroads for in
terest on the bonds loaned to them
| 81, $685. so that $6,2l7,023 was
drawn from the people in the shape of
taxes in a period of four and half years.
This is more than was collected from the
people in the ten years preceding the war.
We find on a reference to the reports of
the Comptroller, that the total amount OF
revenue collected during the ten years
beginning with 1852 and ending with
1851, amounted to 1920, 207. From
this sum should be deducted the profits oil
the Bank of Tennessee and bonuses from
other banks doing business in the State,
amounting to more than 81, ZOO, 600,
leaving about s., 200, 900 collected from
the people in the shape of taxes. But
this latter amount includes the interest
paid by railroads and other internal i'm
provement companies, which reduces
the amount of taxes actually col
lected from the people in the ten
years preceding the war TO about
| 81, 500, 900, or 81, 500, 900 less than was
collected by the Brownlow Radical ad
minisHation in four and halfyears. The
reader is no doubt curious to learn how
so much money could be expended by our
Radical rulers in so short a time. Here
II are q few Of fhe-itenS

The New York Globe, Radical pa
per, says this: Disguise it as the 7ri-
6,sae, Times or Post may, New York is
Democratic State, and it is time all de-
cent men and journalists stopped the cry
Of dishonesty and trickery. The vote OF
the late election shows that the Demo
Gratis are so strong in this State that there
is no need for them TO resort to illegal
means to carry the elections"

duction of PLANFATIOg BITTERs,

world to this great fact The life-sustaiL-

encouraging change, If the appetite has
failed, it is quickened; if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy

laxed, they are strengthened and restrlng;
if the brain hiss besn haunted by morbid
fancies, they are put to fight, and hope and

traordinary cures of general debility, dyss
pepsia, biliousuess, constipation and men
tai dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible evacuents which were once
prescribed as the spring and summer med

sick will not take them, and Plantation
Bitters, in which are combined the ele

mild laxative, nervine and an anti-bilous

IT is given out that President Grant
favors the repeal of the law providing for
session of the new Congress on the 4th
of March. He fears that such session
would be long and angry one, and that
the tariff discussion which would ensue
would injure the Radical party. Butler,
Schenck, Garfield and other prominent
Radicals oppose the repeal of the law.

TEE Cincinnati Enquirer makes this
point: Admiral Porter's 'journal," from
which he is publishing extracts as an an
tidote to the Welles letter, is somewhat
anschronistic in several particulars. The
journal purpOIts TO have been written in
1862, and yet he makes Grant address him
as Admiral, when he was not even made a
Rear Admiral until July, 1868. Poor
Porter is a sad bungler.

We CLEAN the following items from the
ever welcome Brownsville Bee:
Brownsville is to have skating rink---it
will be good thing for the ladies, and the
local observer Of the Bee is a candidate for
the "posish" cf skate fastener. o, Lord
Judge Bond disposed of a queer case at
the recent term of the Circuit Court. Thos
J. Carter asserted that w. B. Claiborne
visited his premises in the disguise of Ku-
KIux, and the accused brought suit for
damage, alleging that defendant slandered
him. After three days trial his Homer
charged the jury and they gave the plaintiff
SO damages.
Colonel Benjamin j. Lea, of Brownsville
a lawyer of marked ability, Is suggested by
the Bee as a suitable candidate for Judge Of
the Fourteenth Circuit
Our contemporary goes in heavy for the
Brownsville and Ohio Railroad, and urges
upon the Haywooders to vote aid to the
enterprise. We wish be would assist us in
having Hatchie river reopened. That's one
of the best plans to secure low freights
'Competition is the life of trade" Why
then did your representative vote against
Rosson's bill2 Sting him one time for it if
not more
The Bee endorses the great speech of
James Fentress member of the Convention
from Hardeman, and says Although lit
tie late, we cannot refrain from expressing
our unqualified approval of the great speech
delivered by this gentleman before the Con
stitutional Convention on the Franchise
question. We regret that we have not space
in our columns to publish the entire speech.
The glorious sentiments uttered there find
an echo in the breast Of every true Southern
er who has the welfare of his own native
South at heart 1t is refreshing indeed, in
these days of political degeneracy and slavish
subseryeney to congressional desPotism-
when the order Of the hour is to crouch and
truckle before our Northern masters-it is
refreshing, we repeat, to read the utterances
of man who has the nerve to tell these
hated tyrants the truth, however uDpalatable
1T may be to them. With a just indignation

he scouts the cowardly theory of 'ExPED-
IENcY," and sticks to the old maxim that
honesty is the best policy" What a pity
it is we had so few men in shat Convention
with the backbone Of Fertress Well may
old Hardeman feel proud of her distin-
suished representative in that body In our
opinion, without intending to disparage
others, we regard him as the Ajax lebanon
of the Convention. Although overpowered
on the final vete by weak kneed, wishy-
washy advocates ofexpediency, yet he made
glorious fight, one for which the true
white men Of Tennessee willlong remember
him
