KrHRRIpeE ON STATE CREDIT.

The Inconsistency of Mr.. Etheridge as
a repudiator of the State debt is shown
BY reference to bis record The Senate
Journal OF ls69-7O, page 40, shows that
he voted for a series of strong resclu.
lions. in which occurs the following:
Resolved, That expediency, together
with the honor and good faith of the
State. demand that the interest on the
public debt be paid at the earliest prac
ticable moment, and its principal Sc,
curelv provided for at maturity. And
10 these ends, under careful retrench-
nent and rigid economy, in all other
resnects. the entire available revenues
and resources of the State should be
faithfully applied, as they in honor are
pledged.
The House added this amendment.
Provided, That this resolution shall
not be construed as pledge or promise
on the part Of the State government to
nav any of said debts unless there ex'
lists legal ard equitable obligation SO
to do.
As thus amended it was returned to
the Senate and passed by a vote of II to
IL, Mr.. Etheridge voting in the attirma'
tivel Had he voted otherwise 1t weuid
have been defeated by IL to IL. The
State debt against which henow inyeighs
so bitterly was then in existence. Who
can account for such a change in the
views of this errstic statesman? -Four
years and hap ago he voted to pledge
the entire available revenues and re-
sources of the State to pay the State
bonds. Brownlow issue and all. The
principle involved was the same then as
to-day, aud the actual amount OF the
debt is less by several millions, realized
by the sale Of railroads and from other
sources. 1t will not do to answer that
the funding bill has since passed, for that
was only assuming in a more binding
form the bonds which Mr.. Etheridge, by
his vote said should and ought to be paid.
The moral effect of that vote was the
same almost as to vote for the funding
bill. But the funding bin is
unpopular. Its bad features and the
hasty manner of its passage were ex'
posed by the LEDGER and Avalanche,
when the Legislature was still in session.
The people saw that we were right about
it. The Law became odious in this end
of the State, and now there are gentle
men who would ride into Office on this
popular wave. And Mr.. Etherrdge, who
is always ultra on whatever side be takes
would out Herod Herod by becoming
virtually a repudiator. How long THU
position may suit them is, judging from
the past a question of time and circum
stances.

INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.


There was good attendance upon the
Exposition to-day, and we notice an in
crease in day visitors from the first
of last week has been steadily growing
till there is now almost as many as at
night. We could dwell upon the various
mechanical, floral aud artistic displays
made, but for want Of space are preclud.
ed from making more than passing
mention in a general way, and can say
in word that a visit to this most attrac-
tive temple of industry and art should
not be neglected by any one, the price
of admission being so low that the hum
blest can attend at little cost. There are
new changes made in many of the dis
plays each week, and new attractions
provided by the management, which rem
ders the Exposition attractive even to
the habitual visitor.
cHAS STOUT BRO,
the old reliable hardware men, at 342
Main street, have displayed specimen
of their goods in manner which at
once attracts the attention of visitors
who promenade the galleries up stairs
1t is due to Mr.. Tommy A. Wright, who
did the work of arranging this display,
to say that he is a gentleman of great
taste. 1t is plain, as we at once sac
that this collection of hardware is bit
ahead of those high in the scale of deal
ing in the line of goods, for all they lock
horns with celebrities. 1t augers
much for the Messrs. Stout, when it is
known that they expected screw-tini
zing inspection of their goods by a a0iry
public. In fact, their display is a nail.

C. A. EoKERLY,
who has long been regarded as one of
the leading Wholesale groeers Of the
South, displays to a good advantage a
collection of groceries, includ-
ing Rio, Java, Peaberry and Laguira
cotfees; English dairy and Swiss cheese;
still catswba, diamond sparkling, Cali.
fornia, Kelly Island catswbas, Blume
der Mosel and Bordeaux wines; apple
and peach brandies;, fine assortment
of canned goods, pickles; jelies, raisins,
figs, teas and spices; cream, lemon, gin
ger, milk, soda and oyster crackers and
various other goods. The stand is cone
shaped and the goods arranged in such
a manner as to show to good advantage
the least article on exhibition.
TONIGHT
there will be another grand promenade
the music to be furnished by
Arnold's old Memphis Brass Band.
These concerts have proved an attrac-
ton, for it is upon the nights they are
given that the beauty and chivalry of
Memphis turn out largest, and with such
pleasant weather as we are at present
enjoying, we are certain of a crowded
house tonight.

A correspondent of the Vinton Record
accuses Judge DuHadway of receiving a
box by express from prominent saloon
keeper in Hamden, and says that man
had case in court. The question is, what
was in the box, and was it sent for the
purpose of bribing the judge Another
correspondent says that Judge DuHad-
way, in company with a lawyer of Chilli
cothe walked through band of praying
women, went into saloon and took a
drink. This is rather brazen conduct
for Judge and the charges should be
investigated.
We find the above in the Pomeroy Tel
egraph. 1t is sample of what we find in
many papers.
Judge DuHadway- never pretended to
be friend of temperance or morality,
and the persons who voted for him would
have right to complain of him if he did
not pursue the course he is pursuing.
He has his many failings, as have other
men, but he is not hypocrite. He was
well known before he was elected, by the
votes of good, moral, religious Republi-
cans.
