Our General Assembly will meet to-
morrow according to adjournment. As
there are no questions of 8 political char
acter to come before it, no elections to be
made by and none seen to followit; az
the members come fresh from their con-
stituents, whose views they have hsd full
opportunity of learning, and as the work
ings of their past legislation has been
somewhat developed, it is reasonable to
expect that our legislators will come pre-
pared in mind and disposition 10 do the
State some service. 1t win require more
than ordinary ability and energy
TO relieve Tennessee from the
difficulties which embsrrass her. The
task to be performed is one of gigan-
tic proportions, and will require gigantic
efforts. We are satisfied that the mem
bers of our Legislature have the will to
accomplish speedily all that our State
needs. IL they should prove lacking in
ability, it can scarcely be counted to their
dishonor, when we take into consideration
the obstacles to be overcome, and for
which they cannot be held responsible.
But we believe they will rise with the
occasion and be found competent to the
work.
The finances of the State need immedi
ate attention. There is not an available
dollar in the Treasury. Under the deCi-
sion of the Supreme Court of the United
States the State is required to receive the
issues of the Bank of Tennessee for taxes
and other debts due the State. These is

Hence while the State is daily becoming
more in debt she is receiving nothing
with which TO diminish this Indebtedness.
In addition we have an immense liability
incurred in aid Of our railroads, upon
which there is constantly accruiug a very
large interest. A number of these rail
roads are unable 10 pay the interest upon
the bonds of the State, which have been
loaned to them, and some of them arc
wholly and hopeleSsly insolvcnt.
What is best TO be done. What

constantly to the minds of our legislators.
They must be answered. 1t is easy to
propose plans, but it is difficult TO pro-
pose one which will be free from IRE.

time bear the test of experience.
From time TO time VIC shall take the

nal Ingenuity in stabbing man while

In all this Gen. Butler is unequaled. For
he is no fool"
Do not these criticisms upon the moral
turpitude of Butler, in his proposition to
bring about war between England and
the United States 70 save the Radical party
from Generalization and dissolution,
strike at Grant as well as the party d.
rectly named2 Butler was in close consulta-
ton with Grant just before he announced
the "policy that meets with almost uni
yersal condemnation" There is every
reason to believe that the subject matter
of Buffers proposed lecture was then
discussed and that Grant committed him
self to the policy Butler was to advocate.
The proof to sustain this supposition is
found in the fact that on the I'd inst.
some members of the foreign legations in
Washington received copies of Buffers
lecture in envelopes bearing the frank of
the State Department. Here is proof
that it will be hard to upset
that Grant committed himself to the policy
enunciated by Butler before his lecture
was delivered. The Gazette inquiries,
"Wben before did any man set up for a
popular leader by proposing TO plunge
the country into foreign war in order to
deprive the people of their right to change
their President" Such thing was never
done before in this country. 1t was re-
served for Gen. Grsnt--for it is now evil
dent that Butler spoke for hinl-to put
forth a feeler of this kind 10 the interest
of his reelection. The Gazette appears
TO be astonished at the audacity of any
public man who would express willing
ness even to embroil the country in a war
''to deprive the people of their right TO
change their President. This is the
policy that Grant encouraged Butler in
proposing and advocating, because it
PLAYED into his hand.
