five per cent. loan has proven completely sue
cessIu III. The seventy-five milliors allotted to
Europe were all taken before the close of busi-
ness yesterday, and subscriptions in excess of
this amount were offered. The American SUBJ
scriptons yesterday were $500, 900, and il is very
probable that to-day the entire loan 500 600 900
will be exhausted. Applications have been r.
ceived at the Treasury Department for the con-
version OF hvc-twenLies into the five per cents.
The eagerness with which these securities have
been taken in Europe is an immense testimonial
to the sOundneSs of American credit and per
haps may lead the way to the disposal of the
bonds bearing lower rates of interest.

The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1850-1873, 1871-03-04

THH editor Of the Franklin Rcricw
thinks that the want OF harmony i'm the
last meeting of the Tennessee Press As
ISOLATION, was due 10 the influence of the
Secretary, DIR. WHITE, of the Lebanon
Herald, and not to Col. TYLER, of the
Memphis appeal, as we think. He crit
icises the conduct of the Secretary very
severely, hut the gifted Doctor bears too
gallant and ready a lance for us to offer
any defense i'm his behalf. The editor of
the Rerier seems TO forget one or two
facts: That when the Constitution was
adopted all the members were present
and when the reconsideration was NOV.
ed, only a few were there; that the Con-
stitution as adopted by two-thirds, con-
tanned a provision that no alteration or
amendment should be made until the
next annual meeting, and that Col. TY-
LER's persistence i'm fighting a dead issue
was out Of order. Whatever concessions
were made to the leader of the minority
by the Association, were not made be-
cause Of conviction, but simply to stop
30 much useless talking. 1t was this that
irritated the Secretary, and it is but
simple justice to say that Job would have
scarcely done less. lie simply preferred
to have collision rather than that the
majority should be ruled by very small
minority.
