HON. w. G. wHITTHORNE,
From the Columbia Mail.


When we look TO the records of the last
session of Congress we find that MIR.
Whitthorne is the only representative from
the South who made speech against the
Gback-payn bill, and we further find that
the bill was CARRIED by handsome major
ity over all opposition, and the increased
salary bill became a law of the United
States, after receiving the high sanction of
the President. Under the operation Of this
law Mr.. Whitthorne found placed 10 bis
credit the amount Of his increased psy-al-
though he had fought The measure sll along
its passage with great energy and ability.
Now what must he do with it, and what
oug be to do with it in justice to his con-
stituepcy-theY had paid it into the Treas
ury and were entitled to the benefit of it.
Mr.. Whitthorne now, no doubt, thought
that he owed it to the people Of his district,
10 SO dispose of it as would best
promote their interest, mt his own,
aud that il would be wrong aud urjust to
give il back 10 the United States Treasury
to be squsnoered by the pets OF an extTava-
CANT administration. lie therefore wisely
resolved to give its benefits to the people OF
his district. He could not, however, divide
l. out equally among his constituency, as
the amount was too small for such acourse.
He then,after consultation with many OF his
constituents, resolved 70 put it into th5
hancs of corporation composed Of the best
men of the Stale, organized and chartered
for the purp sc OF erecting in our State, at
or near Nashville, an institution OF learning,
He saw from the character Of the men
composing this corporation that it would
succeed, and a school worthy of patronage
would be soon built up in our midst he
did not give the money to
tie University, but simply placed it
there in trust for the education Of the
Young minds OF bis district-n0t his pres
ent district, but to the counties that COM
posed the district when he was first elected,
He made this disposition Of the funds, too,
long before Commodore Vanderbilt had
made the institution rich by bis libersl do
nation.
We are satisfied that Mr. Whitthorne
made the only Just and equitable disposi
tion OF thai fund, declared to be rightfully
bis BY the highest law-makiDg power iu the
Government, and his course viii be en-
dorsed by the popular voice of his constitu'
ency. If there is anything wrong in Mr
Whitthorne's course on this question, we
are at 1 loss to see it. And for the further
satisfaction of our friend OF the States we
will state that Mr.. Whitth0Tne is not can
didate for Governor, aud will not be. 81
tros ous your hlOoded stock, let US SEQ him;
if he will do, we will support him, and l
TO, the people of the State will beat him.

FUNDING,

1t is matter of doubt whether or not
the present Legislature would repeal the
Funding law if called together. We have
known people to confess their errors very
soon after committing them, but they were
not members of the Legislature. The fact
of the business is our State finances were
such that something had to be did" and
the Legislature "did it." To be sure there
is 8 me cussing about the 'way it was did, ,
but as there would have been equally as
much if it had been left undone, and the
people wanted pretext TO ''enlarge their
dams" we cannot see the difference in 8
moral point of view, and we shall wait I'm
til pay. day of taxes arrives to see the fnan.
cial error, or benefit, as the case may be-

TIE brownsville Stats SAYS:

Now, IL some cunning and unscrupulous
and avaricious man, who loved money bet
ter than be did good name, were to try to
avoid, by some legal quibble, his obligations
it would not cause surprise, but would be
taken only as a manifestation Of bis inerad-
icable cupidity. But how can a city do
this? The honor of city, is the honor of
her citizens. Cities, States, nor nations can
not stand up in the face of the world and
Re branded with financial dshonor. Is
there village or hamlet, much less a
city, from ocean to ocean, from the lakes TO
the gull, who would issue her bonds by the
overwhelming vote Of her people, and issue
them by the deliberate and well considered
action of its corporate authorities in full
session assembled, and turn around and lay
suicidal hands u on its credit and honor,
by attempting 10 repudiate the bonds 50 is
sued? We think not. Even the corporate
authorities of "Poker FlAt' would scorn
the idea.
That is good doctrine TO preach In that
neck of the woods. May roth Memphis
and Jackson hear it, and may McCOmb
tremble in his boots.
