THE FUTURE OF TENNESSEE,

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette (Rad.) writing from Knoxville
presents quite different view Of Tennes-
see from that presented by Secretary
Fletcher to Mr.. Tillman. This CORES
pondent says:
This State should become the great
State of the South. Its broad domain and
its geographical position, giving it close
connection with Eastern as well as West
ern markets; making a common interest
to the East and West by its present rail
road facilities, and those under construc-
ton, connecting the Mississippi Valley
with the Atlantic coast; by its vast mine
raj resources, its timber, etc, it demands
from its Legislature liberal and progress
sive legislation. Thanks to the Constitu-
tiOnal Convention, It has given the ballot
to all our citizens, and now this State en-
joys degree of prosperity never before
attained since or before the war.
With a few exceptions, where poll
tics were at the base, everything has
been as quiet in this State as in Ohio.
The Governor and Legislature have been
prompt in putting the mentioned distur-
Dances down. The people, both those
formerly in the Rebel and Union ranks,
are united, and bent upon one common
cause-that of making Tennessee the
great Pennsylvania of the South. Politics
are no more discussed, and the State is
entering into a career, it is TO be hoped.
Of great prosperity. If it were generally
known by immigrants what the prospects
and advantages of Tennessee really are,
many more people would turn their faces
towards the sunny South. Even here the
climate is so mild the farmer can work out
doors all the year round. 1t is said by
physicians that this climate is as healthy
as any in the world. There are at all
times a great many pulmonary invalids
here, who generally go away rauch bene-
fitted. AT least for myself can say so,
in three weeks time gaining twenty
pounds. If l keep on in proportion, l

ability to pay, Reputation viii be forced
upon us whether we will or not The
people of North Carolina are being taught
reputation by the villainies and extrava-
gancies of their officials If the State
cannot pay the interest on her debt, why
attempt to force its eollectionl Our people
are neither responsible for the amount of
their Indebtedness, the manner in which
it was incurred, nor for the loss of credit
and general depression, which make it
impossible for them to provide for the
payment Of the interest thereon.
Against the vote and protest of the tax
payers of North Carolina the present State
Government was forced upon them by the
power of the bayonet. The people of the
North dictated to us our laws, furnished
us with our Legislators and financiers.
Having confidence in their own work and
creatures, they bought these bonds, or
won them at the card table, or picked
them up. here and there by fair means and
foul, until nineteen-twentieths of them
are held by those who are in a great de-
gree responsible for their existence. Does
justice require that the taxpayers of
North Carolina shall be ruined to pay in
terest upon these bonds held by the guilty
copfederates of Littlefield 81 Co., who
share in the proceeds of their crimes or
purchased them at ten to twenty-five cents
on the dollar2
A few of these bonds are held by inno-
cent purchers, bought at fair rates, and
those, at least, sold on account of the
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford
railroad, honestly expended for the bene-
| fit of the company. We could not advo-
cate any measure breaking faith with
| these innocent holders. But is it not true
that Mr.. A. ]. Jones gambled away bonds
issued in aid of the Fayetteville and Wes-
| tern Railroad and if so, ought the peo-
pie of North Carolina be taxed to pay
them9 Did Littlefield use North Carolina
| bonds or the proceeds of their sales in his
corrupt Florida transactions, in his gifts
| to the churches, in establishing lines of
steamships across the Gulf of Mexico
and if so, must our people foot the bill ?
Even if they were able, neither justice
nor good morals require it.
We will, we must, pay our just debts.
| But our creditors must bear with us. We
| are in no way responsible for our extrava-
| CANT system of government, our corrupt
| officials Our debt has increased beyond
our present ability to meet, not by our
consent, but against our protest, forced
upon US by legislation conceived in hatred
and corruption and rendered irresistible
by the military power of the General
Government itself. If our people are
now let alone they will undo at the bailot-
box many of the evils under which they
| suffer, and will rid themselves of the
| thievish crew which now mans the vessel,
and under laws in harmony with theiI
condition, and officers in sympathy with
their wants, will yet bring the ship OF
State safely into the port of security and
prosperity. i.

The Buffalo Commercial Radical,
says:
''The country cannot stand it much
longer. 1t must have a respite for five
or ten years at least, 10 enable it to gather
new energy, and prepare for the great
work before it. The nation is like one
who has just emerged from a chronic
illness; it must have time to mend before
it is called upon TO exercise its normal
strength. We call upon Congress for a
tonic instead of a task. We want re-
trenchment and economy. and low taxes. y
