OUR STATE FINANCES.
Gov. Browns Views as Com
munIcated to New York
Tribune Reporter.


We clip the following from the New
York Tribune of a recent date:
During the recent visit of Governor
Brown, of Tennessee, 20 this city, he
was asked by a Tribune reporter his
opinions OF the financial condition of
that State. lie talked freely on the sub
jcct and expressed the utmost confidence
that the provisions for the payment of
the interest on all the bonded indebted
ness of the State were sufficient, and
that il would be paid in July, 1874, and
January 1875, and that the State having
once resumed would never again be in
default. lie said that the Comptroller
and Treasurer were IN accord with him,
on the subject of the State finances, and
that leading men would have been OPP
posed To the funding law had il changed
their views. lie had ascertained this by
personal visits To those sections of the
State whore opposition had been strong
est 4; the only basis of their opposition
was the supposed ineXpediency OF the
proposed legislation at the time the fund
ing act was before the Legislature.
Governor Brown said that he would
not have been n candidate for reelection
but for the fact that he desired the State
TO resume ,,ayments, and also wished to
see an educational system I'm practical
operation. Both wishes were now in a
fair way to be realized President
Sears, of the Peabody Educational Fund,
visited Tennessee recently, end express
ed himself much gratifed at the educa-
tioDal progress which had been made
The Governor said that Tennessee now
had the best school system of all the
Southern States, and that provision was
made whereby every child between 6
and Is years of age could have at least
five months schooling each year, and
that the educational advantages for all
were much better than they had been
for white children before the war. The
foundations of Nanderbilt's Institution
were already laid in Nashville and the
State was erecting asylpms for the blind
and dumb. From about 1861 to 1860,
the penitentiary system WAS an expense
to the State of $ll2,0O0 a year; now IL
has been so far improved as to yield a
revenue of $4,000 year. He said that
the State had cancelled 81 100000 Of
her bonds within very short time, and
about S3,5O0,00O We're then due from sol
vent railroads, which debt can be paid
in bonds OF the State; that these roads
paid their interest annually to the State
either in bonds or coupons. Life was
never more secure IN Tennessee than
now, the stories OF the kukluX outiages
having been greatly exaggerated. Pub
lie sentiment In the State had made
great progress for lhe better.
The bonds of the State of Tennessee
now selling at the Board, coupon on,
80 per ceHt. arrears of interest thereon.
BY the funding law these arrears are
convertible into new bonds of 81 900
each, bearing interest from January 1,
1874.

How the NJ. 81 *. Railroad
Would Benefit Pulaski.

No town or community would build a
railroad or make any Improvement I'M
less they could see some prospect of be-
ing benefited. How would the build
ing of the Memphis & Knoxville Rail
road benefit cur town? At present we
get very little Of the trade of Lawrence
county. 1t goes to Colnmbia, Florence
or Wales Station. A Railroad from Pu-
laski to Lawrenceburg would give us
the greater part Of the trade of that
county. What is it? Let US see.
The value of farm products in Law
renee county in 1870 was 1914, 691. The
Manufacturing interests are among the
most important in that county. At
present there are 5000 bales of cotton
manufactured in Lawrence. With a
Railroad this amount would be quadru-
pied. Instead Of 5000 bales, $1,000 bales
would be manufactured, because that
! county has the best water power in the
| State. The iron interests in that coun-
\ ty, that now amount to nothing, would
become very valuable. The Ore-banks
commence about ten miles West of
Lawrenceburg. To reach these ore
banks would justify Pulaski in expend-
| ing enough to secure this road. To be-
come a large and permanently flourish
! ing place, we must manufacture cotton
and iron. By reaching the Sewanee coal
fields and getting coal at y cents per
bushel, we can compete with any place
in manufactures, especially when we
can get the iron ore in such abundance
from Lawrence. See how Chattanooga
has grown in the last two years. The
value of town lots in Chattanooga in
1869 was S7s1 ,74O, and it was in 1872
$2,0S6, 470, showing a gain of 81, 1904, 73O
in three years. This is owing to its
having become a manufacturing city.
What has happened in Chattanooga may
happen in Pulaski If we will build the
Memphis Il Knoxville Railroad connect
ing us with the coal mines on the East
and with the iron banks on the West.
Pulaski will be nearer the Sewanee coal
mines than Nashville is, and far nearer
and more convenient TO the rich ere
banks of Lawrence and Wayne.
Experience has shown us that as
towns grow in manufacturing, they
grow in commerce. 1t is possible, even
probable, that Pulaski, with this road
completed as far as Lawrenceburg, will,
in five or ten years, have double its pop
ulation and more than twice its present
amount of business. When completed
to Memphis il VIII give us a competing
road, which viii reduce freights at least
fifty per cent, and tins reduction will
cause freight to concentrate at Pulaski
that now goes TO other places. Meridi-
an, Miss, gets large amount of trade
from distance of fifty and seventy
miles because it has competing roads
and consequently cheap freights. SO ii
will be with Pulaski when we get COM
peting roads. If anyone doubts the
benefits Of competing roads, let him
look to Humboldt, Chattanooga and Jack
son, in our State, and TO Corinth and
Meridian in Mississippi. The rule is
uniform. Pulaski has more natural
advantages than any of them, and all
that we need is competing railroads.

Tennessee River Iron and Man.
ufacturing Company.

From the Memphis appeal.
We learn that the Chancery Court of
Lawrence county, in this State, at its
November term, 1873, granted charter
under the laws of Tennessee, to the
Tennessee River Iron and Manufacture
ing Company. The object of this COM
pany, as we learn, is to buy up valuable
iron-ore lands and factory sites in
Wayne, Lawrence, Lewis and Hickman
counties in this State, Tor the purpose of
having railroads built through these
mineral regions, and in order to do this,
| they propose to sell or mortgage their
ore banks or factory sites. 1t is we'll
| known that the best water-pOwer and
the most valuable iron-ore lands in Ten
nessee, if not in the Southern States, are
in these counties. The members of this
Company intend to use their capital and
means in causing these valuable ore
banks and Water-pOWer to De brought
into active use. These lands can now be
bought at the most nominal prices, but
when they are penetrated by railways,
and their wealth fully exhibited, there
is no telling what they will be worth.
This is an enterprise that, while it viii
greatly benefit the country, will be a
source of much profit to the stOckhOld-
ers. These rich mineral regions are
nearer to Memphis than any other coal
or iron. AS we have said before, if well
managed they may be to Memphis what
+ the Iron Mountain and Pilot Knob have
been to st. Louis. They are distant
, from Memphis less than one hundred
and fifty miles, and should and will be
+ connected with this city by direct rail
! road communication within three years
