Senator Carncnter on the Veto.

Senator Carpenter was called upon this
evening. The Senator was not in an affable
mood. but nevertheless submitted to the in
teryewing process With commendable de.
gree of gravity. The conversation was in
auguratcd somewhat unceremoliously.
Correspondent: What are your impress
sions OF Grants veto message?
Mr.. Carpenter The document speaks for
itself
Correspondents: OF course it docs; but
what are your viewss
Dir. Carpenter: 1t is a very drelI document,
end not at all satisfactory to the friends OF
the bill.
Correspondent: What do you believe will
be its result VI en- the country
Mr.. Carpenter: fear it will result in dis
as.er. 1t throws the whole question back
upon Congress, and demoraliZeS everybody
and everything.
Correspondent What DO you think Of the
Presidents objection to the increase OF the
greenback circulation! ,
MIR. Carpenter: AS remarked oetore' Tue
entire message is droll IN the eAtfehe. nc
argues that the forty.four millions snoa.u oe
hold 40 a reserve, to lie issued or Withdrawn
ot the option Of the Secretary Of the Trea-
STrv hold that if the Secretary of the
treasury has the legal right TO put out the
reserve. Congress certainly enjoys the same
| privilege. and should exercise it. The Pre-
| sident's argument is lame.
| CORRESPONDENT: What does the President
| imply in recommending that tue revenues
] be increased so as to meet current expendi-
lures? --.--
MIR. Carpenter: Manifestly, he means in
creased import duties aud increased internal
taxation.
Correspondent: In what spirit will the
country receive the recommendation!
MIR. Carpenter: 1t will meet with opposi.
ton everywhere.
Il Correspondent: What will be the effect
of the veto upon the Republican party
Will it not have demoralizing tendency
Mr. Carpenter: Well, don't know. The
resumptioniSts are more exercised about the
veto than we are. They dare not adjourn
without affording the country some sort OF
relief, and it is my Impression that before we
get through with this question they will ac-
cord us more than we would have gained by
the present bill becoming a law.
Correspondent: Then the eXpansionists
will be the gamers in the ends
). Mr.. Carpenter: Yes, sir; the other side
will be compelled to accede to our terms.
II Correspondent: You think they canno
afford to quarrel with you?
E Mr.. Carpenter: Of all men the resumption
I lists of the East are less liable to split witt
. us. If they should, however, adjourn with
out passing measure of some sort increas
ing the currency, and thus throw the ques
+. ton upon the country for settlement, til
r result will be a sectional fight.
I'll Correspondent: The West and South u
rayed against the East
MIR. Carpenter: That is the idea.
'e( Correspondent: Then there is appreher
'r sion of burst-up of the Republican party
lie MIR. Carpenter: Yes, sir.

The Louisville Canal.

The bill for the transfer or Tine Louisville
and Portland canal TO the Federal Govern
ment has passed both houses Of Congress,
and will undoubtedly be signed by the
President. This canal is located at LOUIS
vile, and turns the falls OF the Ohio at thas
place. The tells upon it have been very
high, and as it was in the route OF the VAST
transportation along the Ohio the ~nole
vast population living upon that RIVER anu
on the Mississippi became interested IN re-
duc;np them. The expedient OF the transfer
under the bill just passed was adopted.
,sintended to reduce the tolls immedi-
ately to ene-tifth their former rate. This
will be ten eents per ton on steamers and
five cents per ton on other vessels.
We consider this reduction OF very con.
siderable importance 10 Richmond. Already
the shipments from st. Louis and Louisville
rta Huntington to this city have been large,
and the reduction Of the cost Of Transports
ton along the Ohio will increase them. We
may, if We choose, considerably increase the
tendency Of freights from the Mississippi
eaiicS SoN a. us MIS- WY IL VIC ShO oul a.
tentiop to the subject We may extend on,
commercial intercourse and our acquaintance
With that part OK the world.
Let Us not wait for the completion of tn,
western connections of the Chesapeake ant
Ohio railroad. The Ohio river is a chea,
and efficient line OF transportation, and ma
be used greatly to our advantage. One in
dustrious steam.tug carries large numbe
OF lighters heavily laden, and this mode c
conducting the freight business has so r.
duced charges upon transportation that "
can get here now grain from St. Louis ft
twenty.six cents bushel. II our poop
pest themselves well upon this subject the
will find how they may by little energ
soon make great change in the busine:
interests Of Richmond.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
THE QUESTION THEY DODGE.

Two significant meetings have just adj
journed at Nashville. Their action on the
tax question is worthy of special attention.
The Workingmen's Convention, said to
represent seventy-four counties, passed the
following resolution
Resolred, That we will support no man
for any office in this State who is in favor
of a State tax exceeding twenty cents on a
hundred dollars.
The Colyar Convention had under con-
sideration, but, for the sake of policy did
not adopt,a resolution of the same charac-
ter and effect. Col. Colyar, in addressing
the convention, said:
He would say that no party would carry
the State or get within 10000 votes who
would either take the part of or ignore the
question in relation to the funding bill and
taxes. The people would not suffer it to
be ignored. They said to take ground
against it would create divisions. He said
If it were ignored il would create divis-
ion beyond all question. He wanted the
taxes reduced because the people did not
have the ability to pay them. He proposed
that the people should only pay three per
cent. on the State debt. He had been in
formed that the holders OF Tennessee bonds
them at % cents, and great many more
at so and 60 cents.
The John c. Brown organs are
just now striving to bury this tax
question and the record of the pres
ent State administration under the Juror
they are raising over the speeches and
resolutions of the Colored Convention,
seeking to fasten the responsibility for
them upon the Republican party. But the
effort will not succeed, and, the attempt to
hold it responsible for them in advance of
any party Convention is too evidently a
partisan trick to need more than a notice
at our hands.
The impression prevails among honest
Taxpayers that, although they paid last
year over $4,000 more taxes, under the
head of privileges" than the year before,
this sum has not been honestly and judi
ciously applied. There has been corrup-
ton at Nashville as well as Washington.
There have been "rings" about our State
House as we'll as elsewhere, and the people
propose in the coming election to see if
they can not be ousted. If their high taxes
continue, they intend to see that they are
faithfully applied, and that they do not go
to pay fat salaries to the hangers.on about
the State House.

a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Our exchanges are seriously and some
of them earnestly discussing the question
of calling Constitutional Convention at
AN early day. They advocate the policy of
making this a question in the approaching
canvass. We admit that these are features
incur Constitution that Oughtto be eXpung-
ed, agd there are omissions that should be
supplied. The organic law of the State
should he framed on a broad and liberal
basis, in keeping with the progressive age
in which we live. But whether this is the
time to call such Convention, involves a
very serious question. Is the public mind in
just such condition as to qualify the
voters for selecting "A body of men for such
important business We had constitu-
tional convention not many years ago.
Unfortunately for us, the majority of those
composing it were hot. headed politicians,
who could appreciate nothing outside OF
narrow partisan limits. Their delibera-
tions were made up largely of political
harangaes, and their sole object was to put
men out of Office who belonged to one
political party and put those in who
belonged to different party. The work
OF that convention is no credit to the
State.
If We are to have similar concern tC
frame a Constitution for us, it will be bet
ter to put up with the one we have. 1t il
better to suffer the ills we have than to fly
to others we know not Of If men will lay
aside their prejudices, select none but gooC
men for positions in such body, who viii
not spent their whole time in scheming t
keep themselves and their friends in Office
a Constitutional Convent ton will be a gooC
thing for the State. Otherwise, it woulC
not pay FOE the expense Of holding an cleo
ton, much less a convention.

NUTS FOR ANDY.

The Middle and West Tennessee papers
are just now saying some hard things
about Andrew johnson. Here are two
sentences from late editorial in the Co.
lumbia Herald and Mail:
Mr.. johnson cares not fig for the pros
perity and honor of the State which has
honored him in the past; and is willing to
bring financial disgrace and dishonor up
on her, in order to wreak his vengeance
upon few personal enemies. If he had
been friend of the people he would never
have brought about the election of May
nard and fhe were their friend now he
would not be trying in every way to disor-
ganize and disunite the Democratic party.
The Union and american abiding to
his speech on Thursday evening says:
The agony is over. Andrew johnson
has Endorsed them. Colyar is happy and
the hearts of the TwentyCenters are lifted
up for JOY.
