CHICAGO, February.-A special from
St. Paul, Minnesota, says disclosures
made by the State Treasury Inyesh-
eating Committee have caused much
excitement. The opinion is that both
the present State Treasurer and his pre-
decessor, Munich, his father-in-law, should
be promptly dealt with. There is little
doubt that articles Of impeachment
against the present incumbent, and
criminal proceedings for the misuse of
State funds against his predecessor,
Munich, will soon be commenced.
Another startling development was
made in the Legislature to-day. The
House appointed committee to exam
inc the school fund, and this committee
reported that $442,sO0 of the United
States 6ve-twenties were without the in
dorsement required by law, without
which these bonds are entirely at the
mercy of the officers who have them in
charge. The fact that such an indorse-
ment had not been made, coming right
after the Treasurer Weudall inVestiga'
ton, caused this little excitement, which
will probably lead to thorough inyesti-
CATION of the management of the school
fund and Of the auditors Office.

A PITCHED RAILROAD BATTLE.

The tug of war between General Ma
hone and Tom Scott as representatives
of different interests is a matter of more
moment to Memphis than most people
probably are aware. General Malone is
king of line from Bristol to Richmond,
and perhaps Of some collateral roads.
He stands at Bristol looking southwark,
and while not able so far to get posses
sion of the East Tennessee roads SO as
TO get through to the Georgia system of
roads and thence to Mobile and New
Orleans, he effectuslly blocks the South
ern Security Company from going any
further east. Neither party is able TO
buy out the other, nor willing to sell.
Mahone's aim is to get to the Gulf, not
to Memphis. Scotts aim is through
connections east by way of Richmond
or Norfolk. TIC compass his ends he
has, through Messrs. Wilson, McGhee,
Jacques and others, set about making
the connection through western North
Carolina by branching off at the city of
Morristown, forty miles above Knox
Vile, and building some projected lines
of railroad east Of Ashville, North Car
DINA. The undertaking is one of no
small magnitude, but is entirely feast
Bile, and if carried out would give
Memphis a through connection to the
seaboard and thence to New York by
steamers, all under one management.
And this route would at once come into
real competition with the northern
lines, over which such a great bulk Of
our cotton is shipped. But at present
Malone can dictate his own terms at
Bristol, and is in fact on the aggres.
sive. As we recently mentioned, be has
caused a suit TO be brought in the
Chsncery Court at Morristown to restrain
the officers Of the East Tennessee roads
from transferring a majority Of the
stock to the Southern Security Com
pany. Big interests are at stake and
each side is preparing for the final con-
test with desperate energy and nerve. If
Malone succeeds in getting through to
the Western and Atlantic railroad at
Dalton, the Memphis and Charleston
railroad would be only what it is now,
emily on q smaller scala feeder Of his
railroad system; but the success Of Tom
Scots plans would give Memphis a
shorter and cheaper route TO New York
than any that now exists, and all under
sne management We admire General
Mabone's administrative skill, but bis
success would be adverse to the fortunes
Of Memphis; Therefore We are bound to
hope that Tom Scott 4 Go. will she'll
him out."

FUNDING we srArE pEBr.

Al least three bill have been intro
duced in the Legislature providing for
funding the State debt. Comptroller
Pennebaker, in his last report, recon-
mended such a measure, and Governor
Brown, in the late canvass, advocated an
early resumption Of interest payments
on the State debt. To get at the debt
and know definitely how much interest
would be to pay, it would be more CON
yenient to have an uniform series Of
bonds. Messrs. Coulter, Hughes and
James have introduced bills on the sub
iect, and it is believed funding bill
will pass. The great difficulty has been
10 ascertain the definite and recognized
liabilities of the State. A number
of the members are in favor OF
a law that will permit the new
issue" of Tennessee money to be funded
in the event of final decision against
the State. Mr.. Coulter's bill seems to
be framed with that contingency in view,
for the first section provides for not only
the known liabilities, but also the LA
bilities hereafter ascertained by final
Judgment or decree Of the courts" This
looks too much like meeting the limo
cent holders" half way, and would give
them moral support and encourage
ment which the facts in the case do not
warrant or justify. 1t will be time
enough to fund the new issue when 1t
becomes legaltender for taxes. If
there is any advantage in the law and
the position Tennessee occupies as a
State that went into the Southern Con-
federacy but became loyal at an early
day, the people are certainly entitled to
it. This is case which justites
a vigorous defense, and the employ
ment Of every legal and technical adj
vantage which the State can command.
Let the main debt be funded, aud then
railroads owing the State four millions
of dollars will hasten to settle up while
they can do SO in bonds that have not
appreciated. But put off the new issue to
the last possible moment. In its pres
ent shape, legal or illegal, it can bear no
interest and grow no greater in amount
The holders can wait, or they can sell
out any time at profit of one hundred
per cent. upon original cost. The real
innocent holders" disposed ofwhat they
had on hand about the time that forty
dollars Confederate States currency
ceased to be good for breakfast in the
Southern Confederacy, and since then
they have showed marked preference
for greenbscks.
