CENTRaLIsM IN FINANCES

In the recent speech of Hon. w. H
Stephens. at jackson, he argued that,
as Tennessee is a debtor State, it would
prove much easier for us to pay our
debts with a currency ten or twelve
cents below par than in gold. C5m-
menting on this, the Chattanooga Com.
aaereiaL says:
Those who offer as an inducement to
send them to Washington, to fix the
currency to suit their own State, Sec
ton or locality, should be permitted to
stay at home There Is no statesman
ship in It, but only log-roiling and Job
bling. IF we wait until all the people,
and all the cities, counties and States
get out Of debt, before we try to get
back to a specie basis, we shall, of
course, never make the effort at all.
The first sentence Of this extract sug-
gests the question whether any nation
al system can be devised that would
meet the wants and needs of rich Sec
tions and poor, old States and new,
manufacturing communities and agri-
cultural, and the other manifold diver
sites of interests embraced under the
Federal flag. IL once devised, how
long would the equilibrium be pre-
served? How long before "logrolling
and jobbing" would give some States
and sections great advantages over
others? Would not our finances be-
come the shuttlecock of politics to be
tempered and tinkered with by each
succeeding Congress? Are men of
worth SO blind that they do not see in
such efforts Of Congressional bodies to
make money for the millions, a gradual
eduction of the people into the false
doctrine of expecting everything from
government, leading to rank Communism
on the one side, and to rank despotism
on the other, as the only remedy against
communism? The past is nothing to
the future. The financial question has
but barely entered pOpularpoitics, and
the sooner it is divorced from both pol
itics and government, the better it viii
be for free institutions.
These dangers, now imminent, rem
der It surprising that a man of such
financial acquisition" and success as

prRrISENr OIrEsTIONs.

In relation to the present unfOrtu-
nate aud threatening status of Louisi-
ana affairs, special correspondent at
Washington of the Nel1 York Herald
has the following:
If the McEnery government and the
Democratic members ousted should APP
peal to the President 20 guarantee the
State republican form of government,
and redeem it from a double usurpa-
ton by interference to make the voice
of the people felt, it is asked here how
could he refuse? His duty is not to
support Kellogg, but to guarantee a
republican form of government to the
State. There is no doubt that
the better class of Republicans in
Congress feel the wrong done to Lou
isiana, and would be glad to find way
in which to stop Federal interference,
and much is hoped for from the report
Of the subcommittee, consisting of
Foster, Potter and Phelps, which has
gone to New Orleans and viii report

DISSOLUTION OF THE SARATOGA
SYNDICATE.
Chicago Times

The combination OF the eastern rail
ways, formed under the compact known
as The Saratoga agr ement, and organ
lied with the sole purpose of increas-
ing freight rates to the East, is daily
becoming extinct. The fact that the
confederation had lost its power,
through the efforts of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company to inaug-
urate low freight tariff, has hereto
fore been chronicled. The first step In
the downfall of the monopoly was
taken by the Michigan Central Rail
road, in cutting the rate on fourth-class
freight to New York, several weeks
since, to correspond with that made by
the Baltimore and Ohio road to Balti-
more. This action caused a split In
the combination, which it has been i'm
possible to heal. It was looked upon
as an actual breach of faith, and al
though an effort was made to reconcile
the warTiny elements, there has been
no peace since that time. The remain
ing roads, Notwithstanding the fact
that they again stipulated to work with
the combination, have lost faith with
each other, and dissolution is the re-
suit. The roads Immediately began to
entertain the fear that rival lines were
overreaching them by means of rebates,
and acuttingof rates generally, and the
natural result is that the agreement has
become dead letter, and the combina-'
ton thing not TO be feared in any re-
markable degree by shippers. It has
been ascertained, within the past few
days, that the roads have commenced
a quiet cutting of the prescribed rates,
and in other ways have exceeded the
limits of the Saratoga agreement.
This is especially the case with the fast
freight lines, which have been detected
in several instances in cutting the
fourth-class freight rate to eastern
points. What the combination might
have succeeded in accomplishing g, had
it not been for the interference of the
Baltimore and Ohio road, theIe is no
telling, but the shipping community
may well congratulate itself upon the
fact that the circumstances are such as
to make a complete continuation Of the
railways east Of Chicago an impossi-
bility.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1874-12-31

In 1869, Congress passed an act
leyying a tax Of FIVE per cent. on the
annual earnings Of the Pacific rail-
roads, and providing that each road
should furnish an annual statement to
the Secretary of the Treasury from
which he might estimate the amount Of
tax. Under the rule of Grant, wEsgh
began in the same year, not one cent
of this tax has yet been collected.
From Washington correspondence of
the Nei7 York Tribune, it appears that
Secretary Bristow has at length taken
hold of the matter. Finding that none
Of the companies had ever made the
required reports, he politely invited
them to do so. The companies
paid no attention to this re-
quest, whereupon the Secretary pro-
cured copies Of their annual reports,
as submitted to the Boards Of
Directors, and proceeded to figure out
taerefrom the amount of taxes over
due. Il seems the Central Pacific
owes nearly two million dollars and the
Union Pacific over one million, while
The smaller roads swell the total to
about three and a half million. De-
nands for payment were issued Oct.
81, giving sixty days for payment, and
.xpiring to-day. The companies feel
hagrined that their reports to Direc-
ors should have been taken as basis,
ecause these reports are generally
olored for influence on the stock mar
ct. But this very reason prevents
hem from questioning or inyalidating
hem. What help Grant and his At
,rney Williams may afford the rail
Dads against the brusk BristOw re
aains to be developed.

in Tennessee is becoming more aud

tolial election. Four or five of our
most prominent citizens, not being
able to resist the pressing Importantly
OF their friends, have declared them
selves candidates for the seat in the
Senate to be made vacant by the ex-
piration Of the term of service of the
Hon. w. G. Brownlow, on the Sd of
March next. Not Sithstanding these
gentlemen are all worthy o. the public
confidence, a feeling somewhat prevails
that that honor is reserved for one of
our own distinguished citizens, who is
not now candidate for that Office, but
has ever occupied warm place in the
public heart, and whose candidacy
would be hailed by majority Of
the Legislature and the people
Of the State, who have always
admired him for his mOdesty
in pressing his claims, his man
ly bearing as a gentleman, his
sound conservative principles and
splendid qualifications as statesman.
/ mean the Hon. Gustavus a. Henry,
of Montgomery county. Since he first
made his appearance as popular ora
tor he has been decided favorite with
tie people Of TENNESSEE, who would be
delighted to see him in the Senate Of
the United States. AS a Representa-
tive in the State Legislature he gave
universal satisfaction, and as Senator
in the Confederate Congress from Tel-
nessee during the whole period of that
eventful but unfortunate conflict be-
tween the States, he bore himself with
such unfaltering fidelity to his trust
the whole people had cause to be proud
of him. Smce the la.e war he has
studiousiy abstained from all inter-
ference in public affairs and has sought
no Office, and in his example exhibits
the beauty of the theory that in Re-,
publican Governments the Office should
seek the man. When the great Demo-
cratic Conservative Convention met IN
Nashville on the Sd of August last, he
was unanimously called to preside over
its deliberations and IN assuming
the chair as the President OF
the Convention, responded IN a speech
strongly recommending fidelity to the
honor Of the State, and 50 boldly de-
nounced the sin of reputation that it
has scarcely had an open advocate
since. And not content with that, he
took the stump during the canvass and
delivered TO the people in many parts
of Middle and West Tennessee the
most argumentative, patriotic and elO-
quent speeches Of his life, in which he
encouraged the Wings and Democrats
to form cordial. union for the good Of
the cause; in which he upheld the
credit of the State and denounced the
iniquity of reputation, the infamous
Civil Rights bill, and the arbitrary
policy of the President in forcing an
usurper upon tue people Of Louisiana

A WASHINGTON dispatch states that
the testimony taken in New York In
regard 10 the Pacific Mail business
has had a very demOralizing effect on
Irwin, the recusant witness, and a
number of prominent lobbyists. The
general belief nov is, that the investi-
eating committee will obtain such
clues and facts, in New York, as will
unravel most Of the subsidy transac-
tions. 1t is stated that the committee
is aware Of the fact that Representa-
tive John B. Korm, Of Pennsylvania,
was offered $1,000 for his vote, but de-
clined and voted against the sub
sidy. We badly wonder that the
developments have caused a futter, as
there is a very grave question for those
who paid and those who received the
money in case they were either men,
bers of Congress, or officers Of the
United States, or Of either house of
Congress, and that question is, whether,
under the statute, all the parties are not
liable for punishment for high crime
and misdemeanOr, involving a fine
three times the amount OF the sum
paid and taken, and imprisonment in
the penitentiary for not less than two
years.
