Gov. Browns Message.

The first message of Gov. JOHN G.
BROWN, 10 the Legislature, was read
in the House last Monday. A large
portion Of the message is devoted to
the States finances. He is for sus-
tanning the State credit at all hsEards,
and repudiates aything sav0sfng Of
reputation. A minute statement of
the character and amount of tn. in.
debtedness of the State is given. The
net bonded debt is stated at Sl9, 49S-
1896, of which the principal is Sl5,-
00O, 600, and the remainder is interest.
The whole net debt, including Bank Of
Tennessee notes and floating debt, is
placed at s2l, l6l, 59O93.
The lropriety Of taxing county and
corporation bonds in tie hands OF citi-
gems of the State is suggested, and the
application of the same principle to
State bonds is mentioned. The taxa
ton of litigation before Justices of the
Peace is recommended, under the
belief that all annual revenue Of $780,
600 would be thereby yielded to the
treasury. A taxation Of the bonds Of
trustees is also favored. p.
His excellency is of the opinion that
the floating debt, together with the
current expenses Of the State Govern
ment, can be paid by Jan. l, 1873, out
of the taxes heretofore levied but yet
uncollected, with an assessment Of
fifty cents on the hundred dollars for
the next year. This showing will be
In the highest degree gratifying not
only to the people of the State but
satisfactory to her creditors. It is the
opinion of the Governor, that we can
fund the accrued interest on tue
bonded debt aud resume the pay
ment of interest on the LIST of jan,
1871, at the rate of fifty cents on the
one hundred dollars, or even at q less
rate if necessary reforms in the reve.
hue system are effected and the new
sources of revenue made available.
Here, again, We have matter of con-
graduation, both TO the people of the
State and to our bondholders.
The funding of all bonds and cou-
pons, matured or maturing to LIST July,
1873, is recommended.
The absolute necessity OF some
amendments of the laws, relative to
tax sales and the assessment of prop.
erty, is distinctly insisted upon.
The necessity of repeating the laws
allowing solvent roads to pay in past
due coupons the interest on the bonds
loaned them by the State is urged be-
cause the State is bound to pay this in
terest to the bondholder In currency,
which must come from the taxation
of the people. 1t is further urged that
the act IF Jan. 20, 1870, to allow Rail-
road Companies to retire their indebt
edness be repealed or amended SO
TO require all roads which have not
complied with its provisions to pay til
acc,ued interest, as well as the sink
ing fund not heretofore paid in.

e see it stated that Sitting Bull, :

WE see ii stated that Sitting Bull, q
celebrated Indian Chief has annOunc-
ell his determination to stop the work
IN the Northern Pacific i;ailroad
which is now being SO rapidly pushed
forward from Duluth to the Pacific
Coast. 1t is said that he has assem-
bled all the Indians on Hnc Upper
Missouri and Yellow Stoneto OPP soae
the progress of Gen. RossUE and
others who have charge of the sur
vcying parties going West from the
Missouri. I.aie adviccs from Gen.
UyNcOcK are to the effect that the
Indians have burned all the grass and
have assembled in great force and are
bent n mischief. General IoSsER
has an escort Of about eight hundred
men with field artillery and Gattling
guns; but the Indians are supposed to
number from six to te thousand, and
have given out word that they will
fight to the last for their favorite
hunting-grounds. Possibly General
RossER may be forced back; but the
IDEA Of the stoppage of such a magni-
iicent enterprise 10y 4 few thousand
savaSes is net to be entertained for a
moment. The surveys will go on and
the work viii be pushed through
with the utmost vigor, and Sitting
Bull will be obliged to go upon reser-
vations, settle down and be peaceable,
or go out Of the world. 1t may not
be pleasant prospect for those taw-
ny royers Of the plains to quit the
chase and settle down to the eultiva-
ton of corn and potatoes, or accept
the other alternative, determination;
but it is the memorable logic Of
o,-o,,ts 'st.

A WclI.Mcrited COMPILING Mt.

Mr.. Speaker VAUGHN, gallan:
and distinguished officer in the Con-
federate service during the late war,
and an earnest and devoted advocate
of law and order since hcstilities
ceased, introduced the following res
olution i'm the Senate few days agO,
complimentary to Gov. SENrER. 1t
was indeed a just tribute, and one
whichs find most hearty response
in the bosom of every true Tenucs-
sean. AT a critical epoch in our his
tory. the responsibilities Of the State
Governme 1T fell upon him. He met
them like man and patriot, and
the arduous duties devolv:ng upon
him, he discharged faithfully and for
the best interests of the whole people,
needless of past differences and re-
CARELESS of consequences. The history
of his administration may be sum-
med up IN the simple words: He No
ely DID HIS Duty /! .. @
The following is the resolution
which passed with great uranimity,
both Houses ofour Legislature:
ReSOlced, That the thanks of this
Legislature are Justly due, and are
hereby rendered to Governor DE
WITT c. SENTEg, for the very able
and wise administration of the past
two years, and that the people of
Tennessee win ever hold in grateful
remembrance his devotion to their
interests, especially in being the one
toconfer upon them the right Of the
ballot SO unjustly taken from them.

Gov. BEowNlis probably the most
universally popular man ever elected
Governor of our State. His political
adversaries are in pitifnl minority,
and even they are bound to admire
him. Being possessed, the 'efore, CT
the love Of the people, much will be
expected of Gov. BROWNS admins
tration. We believe that Gov. SENTER
did everything In his power to pun
ish outlaws for their depredations. and
he was ably assisted by all the officers
of the law throughout the State. Tie
great body of the people denounce the
outrages in uumeasured terms, and in
the Of the law, no blame can be
attached to anybody for the failure to
apprehend murderers and lynchers.
Sumetbing more is demanded 10 Sc
cure tie unCisputed reign of the law.
The people should not rest until every
IynciIer is brought to justice. If the
people fail TO do this, the Governor
should take the matter into his own
hands, and he will be sustained in
everything, By those who elected him.
His constituents expect him to give
the deathblow to outlawry in this
State. ..

Negroes Emigrating.

We hear some talk of an effort being
made here, at Hickman, to organize a
colony of negroes to emigrate to some Of
the Northern territories. In our Judge
ment, the project will be a failure, for
Notwithstanding the great pretended
sympathy Of the North for the black man.
the blacks do not take to that section
Tennessee, and Kentucky We are told,
are loosinga large portion of their colored
population. The blacks do not emigrate
north. but turn their face to the Gulf
They find thatthey must labor to live, and
that the cotton fields offer the best trewards
for their labor. The north is not genial to
the negroes, therefore many that fed
thre at the close of the war already
have returned to the extreme south.
White labor is moving into Tennessee,
and the eolored people are retiring before
the wave. There is no oppression, but
simply an inclination to follow natural
instincts. They desire to return to their
old friends and to the scenes of happier
days. The delusiye dream born Of liber
ty IS broken, and now they find that they
must work, they prefer to work for those
who understand them and who sympa
thize with them. The Northern white
man does not understand the negro, be
cause he has had little association with
him, while the Southern white man does
understand him thoroughly; and nleFe-

Present indications strengthen the opin-
ion that the cotton region viii become

The Hickman courier., 1871-02-11

The Frankfort (Ky) Heonqan has
come cut in favor of negro testimony
of placing negroes upon an equality with
whites on the witness stand. Wonder
what has come over the spirit OF Its
dreams HopkiRsrille Conservatives.
The Conservative is one of the few
good Democratic journals of Kentucky
who insist on making the negro the SINE
qua non of Democracy. Negro evidence
is positive, fixed fact, just as much as
his freedom and Acknowledgement, and
when the Conservative properly considers
this, the position of the Yeoman will not
appear alarming. Weare not called up
on to endorse the means by which his
qualification as a witness was brought
about, any more than the means which
effected his enfranchisement or freedom;
bat how are we to improve the matter
by discussing or making those acts an
element in political campaigns at the
present time. These ends being secured
beyond any reasonable hope ofalteration,
good policy demands that they be ac-
ceptcd in good faith. Hence it becomes
a question of policy as to the eompeten
cy of the negro iu our State courts, as
and good measure for the
white man. The Democratic party is
fully on record against cauuwarrauted
manner aud power by which the Radicals
effected these innovations upon our rule
of government, but why waste breath IN
contending against an effect, when the
cause can not now be remedied. The
Democracy of the country have too many
vitality important duties before it, to de
stroy its strength in contending against
measures that cannot be changed-meas-
ures beyond our reach, or in other words
dead issues.
