EFIE SALES OF TENNESSEE RAIL
ROADS.

MAYNARD is in the habit of stating,
from day to day, that the debt of the
State was increased. from 1871 to 1873,
five millions Of dollars, and refers to
Comptroller Pennebaker's reports as
proof. These documents, which are
now before us, show that there is not a
word of truth in Maynard's assertion.
In his report, dated Oct. l, 1870, Mr..
Pennebaker puts the debt Of the State
at S3S.539, 500, and in that dated Jan.
l, 1873, the whole debt, without giving
any credits for moneys paid in, is
placed at SI3,S6S, lis. He. however,
gives on the same page the
amount of money that had
been paid IN, which, taken from the
gross amount, without these credits,
shows the debt to have been, at that
date, S3I, 5S5. 1913, which was a reduc-
ton, from the lst Of October, 1870, Of
S6.954, 499.
Mr.. Pennebaker says, IN this same
report, page A.: The successful sale
of these railroads has changed for the
better the phase of our monetary con-
dition, and the debt, heretofore so I'M
wieldy, can now he easily handled"
1t is true that Mr.. Pennebaker, in
his report Of 1870, estimated the insol-
vent railroads as worth over SI0.9i6,-
900, but subsequent developments
proved that they could not be sold for
that much by more than 100000.
After they were disposed Of, he pro-
nounced the sales successful and
that they clearly were so, viii fully
appear when We state that they were
costing the State, exclusive of wear
and tear, 50, 500 per day, or 1906 500
per annum.
Sc much for Maynard's misrepresen-
tations on this score.

HOW MAYNARD RAN FOR A SEAT
IN THE CONFEDERATE CONGRESS-.

On Thursday, Aug. l, 1861, an cleo
ton for Congressman to the Confeder-
ate Provisional Congress was held in
this State. Three months previous
Tennessee had entered into military
league" with the Montgomery govern
ment, and on June 8, it had seeded
from the Union by popular vote. The
war was in active prosecution at the
time, the famous battle of Bull Run
having been already fought.
Mr.. Maynard's greed for Office, how
ever, was such that he ran as a oandi-
date in this August election of 1861,
held under Rebel auspices exclusive
ly, for members Of the Confederate
Congress. Whichever way the cat
jumped, the agile Horace was ready to
vault into Office. We give below the
official returns of the election in the
Knoxville district:

Two Presidential terms viii satisfy
the average Pennsylvania: AT Re-
publican mass meeting, in Philadelphia,
on Friday night last, Judge Kelley
said, with significant emphasis: 1t is
a mistake to suppose that the causes
that overwhelmed the Republicans of
Ohio and Indiana viii operate in this
State They are not in operation here.
The third term hung like a dripping
cloud over cur friends in both those
States. But our SLY is clear of that
evil omen. Our State Convention, true
to the traditionsof the country and the
convictions of the people, made an eln-
phatic declaration against a third term.
While approaching, as highly as ever,
the pre-eminent services and patriotic
purposes Of President Grant, l am free
Ia declare that would vote for no man
for a third term. and would rather take
the risk Of a bad President, for four
wears, than assist in overthrowing the
wholesome precedent set by Washing
ton. Jefferson and jackson, of retiring
voluntarily from the Presidency at the
end Of the second term.
