Is it Crcditable!

NASHVILLE, Aug. 3rd, 1.-THE pa
pers hereabout in sympathy with demo
cratic rule are just now Boosting that ten
millions of the State debt has been paid
off within the last year. Let US see how
it was paid. Under the law of 1852 and
subsequent amendments, the State loaned
to various rail road Companies $35 ,000,-
900 in bonds: that, with the assistance of
private subscription of cities, towns, coun-
ties and individuals built above 1000
miles of road, which at least should be
worth S70,000,000. Upon this immense
amount of property with its rights and
franchises the State held a first mortgage
lein. By the enforcement act of the last
Legislature through Commissioners and
the DEGREES in Chancery, all this lein is
abandoned for about SIP, 900 900 of its
bonds and coupons, ten of which may pos
sibally have been paid in, with nearly all
the stock subrogated by decree to these
new private companies thus formed. 1t
might be said these States rights and the
stockholders too, have been sold for a
song; leaving tax payers to foot $685.

The Commissioner appointed to make
these these companies, arranged with the

The Death Penalty.

Just after the close of the war horse.
thieves became so bold and frequent in
their depredatIons that the Legislature
passed a law making the offense punish
able with death, or Imprisonment for life,
at the discretion of the jury. Although
there have been several convictions under
the act we have heard of no case in which
the penalty has been imposed until the
sentence of Green Turner, colored, IN
the Circuit Court at Pulaski last Thurs
day.
Turner is a negro preacher. Some
time ago he stole a mule from a citizen OF
Giles and tried to sell it, but was arrested
and indicted for the crime. His defense
in court was somewhat singular. The
Saviour took the first ass he saw on enter
ing Jerusalem why should not he, a fol-
lower of the Saviour and a preacher of
his Word, do likewise. This view of the
case was e%minently Scriptural, but the
jury didn't see it in that light, the mule
being altogether of "another color" from
the quadruped referred to in Holy Writ.
So he was sentenced to swing. Though he
missed the mule he will get the halter

GLORIOUszNEWs.

From North Carolina, the telegraph
flashes the glorious intelligence that the
scheme of the Democratic Legislature has
been defeated, and the unconstitutional
Constitutional Convention has failed to
carry by 5000 or 10000. The people
of the drowsy "Old North State" have
divorced themselves from their old fash
toned ways" and are low taking kindly
to modern ideas, progressive notions,
cooking stoves and human rights"
The Republicans have gained a vantage
ground, from which they cannot be driv-
en-, if they remain united and place party
triumph before personal promotion. Ken
lucky. once overwhelmingly and hope
lessly Democratic, has arisen from her
slough and disgrace. The election was
for State officers, and both parties put
forth their ablest men. The Republican
candidates are particularly distinguished
for their intelligence, patriotism and in
f~luence. They had a majority Of 10000
to fight. and of course did not expect suc-
cess and the small difference of political
strength exhibited is a surprising gratif-
cation. The news from the ''Dark and
Bloody Ground" ripples strangely but
sweetly through the Republican ear.
United States troops were stationed in
certain bellicose localities to secure quiet
and order on election day.

FIRST IN THE FIELD.

The National Labor Union party will
take the frst step in making Presidential
nominations. The President has issued a
call for a political Convention of the Rep
resentatiyes OF the Union. to meet at
Columbus, Ohio, on the 2Sth of October
next. to nominate candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice-President. As tothe eie-
ments of this organization, its strength,
extent and designs we have no definite in
formation. We suppose itsprincipal men,
bership is drawn from the Trade Unions
of the country, which are chiefly compos-
ed of mechanics, who now belong to both
political parties. Also, it is our pre-
sumption that the platform of the Union
will be the supremacy of labor over capt.
tai. 1t is estimated that it's strength
amounts to about three hundred and fifty
thousand men, most of whom ere voters.
The introduction of this new element of
political power into the National cam
paign may u~nsettle and materially change
the schemes and plans Of the politicians
of both parties. In several of the large
manufacturing States of the North, whore
the mechanics are a considerable portion
of the population, the Union will easily
hold the balance of power. and shape par
aty platforms pretty much as it plesses.
We rather expect, that this early entry
into the Presidential canvass is for the
purpose of taking a bold stand on the La
Dor question and then selling out to the
party that will offer the highest premium
for their votes. Governor Geary. of Penn
sylvania, was openly IN the field six months
ago, as the Labor candidate Cor the Presi-
dency, but as he has said nothing on the
subject for three months and has declared
for Grant,we would not be surprised at the
nomination of either Ben Butler or
Sprague.

REFORM.

1t has been our observation, for some
time, that those newspapers who harp
most, longest and loudest about the low
standard of present journalism, have
done as much, if not more, than their ar
raigned contemporaries, to bring about the
prostitution and abasement they SO hyper
critically deplore. That many journals
grossly pervert their high profession, by
converting the pure page and innocent
ink into mere option es of villainous slang,
libsllous accusations and shocking scurri-
lily, is a lamentable and disgraceful fact.
that we can not paHiate or deny. That
many unprincipled and avaricious editors
are always 10 the market for a brides auc-
.~tioning their columns 10 the highest bid
der and degrading them into a mere ma
chine to grind out some villains promo
ton, some party end or some causes sue
cess, is too evident to be concealed. That
many publishers for the sake of gain and
regardless of public morals and a chaste
taste, will unblushingly give to the read
ing world, the yilest, most scandalous and
psrnicious literature, numerous prints Of
to-day attest.
But to charge a general generalization
and degradation upon our well-flled and
brilliantly conducted journalistic profess
sion is a reckless and barefaced distor-
ton of the truth, which any man of intel
ligence and a reading practice should
heartily be ashamed Of. II is true, that
these bigoted and self-constituted critics
aud censors, these arregating paragons of
the pen have brought this honorable and
indispensable profession into almost uni
versal disrepute by their u~nsupportable
structures and infamous demeanor. Jour
nalism has its foul spots and disgraces we
admit, and the absureities and f~alsities
of these klngly dictators locate the re-
sponsibility we contend. The enormous
falsehood of the fashionable maxim that
nothing published in the newspapers is to
be believed" concentrates its guilt in
these sweeping libels upon the honesty,
integrity, purity and virtue of the press.
The editorial fraternity of the present
day is mainly composed of vigorous, enter
prislng and boldly thinking young men.
Prizing fossilized men and aeas as curl
osities of a less advanced period. they are

the State debt was scaled down to $780,
