STATE FINANCE.

Much has been said about the State
finances and the sale Of the railroads.
Let those who have any doubt on that
subject consider the following facts,
stated by Major Sykes in his Browns
vile speech, and which he read the
comptroller's reports Republican re-
ports to prove:
Ihsve not time 10 go into a full defense OF
the Democratic party in Tennessee since IL
came into power. II mas been one OF the most
successful IN the whole country. lJtound our
state buruentd with a debt Of Si3 0j2,632, ac-
C0rding 20 Penuebaker's report, including
bank OF Tennessee notes. II found large
number Of worthless railroads In the hands OF
receivers appointed by the Republican adj
ministraticn, which were bringing the state
In debt 500 per day, or $1,000 per annum. II
found that instead OF the in leres on the bonds
being paid, IL had been funded, or paid by the
sale Of bonds at ruinous sacrifice; II found a
rate Of taxation at forty cents on the one hun
dred dollars, and yef the oebt Of the state in
O. easing oven four millions Of dollars q day,
and what has IL done? II has sold these worth
less railroads al so,55o,gO and thereby saved
the state from contracting debt in running
them Of S3.6jJ,000 besides tie wear and tear
OF the roads, which would have been million
more. Ii has reduced the Indebtedness Of the
state to s25,SA,Us0, OF which S5,Sa9,5S6 IS Sc
cured by solvent assets. II has, without in
creaslug the rate Of taxation, paid the interest
4
pie Of Tennessee rate Of taxation less than
one half Of what it is IN MisSissi ppi, one-thirG
OF what IL is in Arkansas, and One-fUurth OF
what il is IN Louisiana; in none of which
states, under Republican rule, with this high
rate OF taxation, do they pay the Interest on
their bonded debt. The Democratic admin
istratlOn Of Tennessee presents TO the people
or the United states a proud and glorious
record in the management Of their financial
affairs. That our people are not so prosperous
as may be desired, is owing 10 other causes
than the administration Of state affairs.
We pay into the Federal treasury every year
mau, woman and child in the state. By our
state constitution one thousand dollars worth
Of personal property is exempt nOm taxati pa.
MANY OF our poor pay no stale TAX, Dut under
the Federal laws every bushel Of salt, every
pound Of coffee and OF sugar, in fact almost
everything we eat and wear, is taxed al high
I ne present tarln IS nearly, II not quite, as
high a. the tariff OF ls26 or OF 1872. the two
highest before the war. These are our bur
1ens, and here is where we need relief.
He showed in the same speech that
when the Radicals had possession Of the
government in 1865, October LIST the
Gebt Of the State for insOlveRt railroads
was six million dollars, and when they
went out Of power the debt Of the State
for these same iDsolvent railroads was
sixteen million dollars, or even more-a
loss to the State in four years, under
Radical rule, on these railroads OF ten
million dollars. With these facts, which
the black-and-tan candidates cannot
deny, how can they have the face to talk
about low taxes and funding bills?

THE Little Rock Gazette, Of Tuesday
publishes the official returns of the re-
cent election from every county in the
State, except Madison. The vote fol-
constitution stands 77,46l, and 24,5s-
against, giving 5 msjority for constitu'
ton of 50, s79. Madison will give about
1000 majority for constitution, which
will make the majority 5S,S3s. There
were over lea, 600 votes cast, the largest
bv IL 600 ever cast in the State. The
result shows that very few remained
away from the polls, although the Re
publicans pretended TO take no part in
the election. A list of the newly-elect-
ed judges and prosecuting attorneys,
senators and representatives shows that
the Republicans have elected but two
senstors-Mr. Hsycock, Of Jefferson,
and Williams, Of Phillips. The seat OF
the latter will be contested on account
Of frauds in the election. There are
thirty-one members Of the senate. In
the house the Republicans will have
about ten members. This body is COM
posed Of ninety members. Such is the re-
suit in Arkansas, in q fair, square contest,
where every qualified eleetor was per-
mitted to vote. By this showing, says
the Gazette, it will be seen how we have
been ground down heretofore by Clay
tOnism.

TIE New York Nation, in an editO-
rial on the present condition Of trade,
says the reason why business does not
revive is not that people have lost q good
zeal Of mOney-that, by itself, is res-
son why it should revive promptly; but
that each person doubts every body else's
solvency OF capacity, and refuses to en-
gage in any enterprise needing other
peoples cooperation. Now this Is a
distinctly hypochondriacal condition /;
and the fault to be found with "bears''
or 'crOakeTs" at such times as these is
that they help to protrset it by main
tanning that it is healthy condition,
which il is safe TO cultivate. At this
moment there are loud praises Of the
economies people are practising, and
there is no doubt that after a panic
economy is eminenuy wise; but it is
folly 10 suppose or preach that economy
alone will set the commercial world
on its feet. What people are saving in
food OF clothing or luxuries, would at
the end Of the year be trifiing portion
OF the amount Of our losses, and would
not in years make them up, and it must
be remembered, too, that economy on q
great scale aggravates a crisis by para
lyzing numerous branches Of industry.
What is needed to cure a panic is the
combination Of economy and industry
in other words, to ill our empty purses
and pay our debts we must go to work
again and begin to produce. A state Of
things in which nobody is buying any
thing he can avoid, and men are letting
their money lie at two per cent. per an
NUN in United States bonds sooner than
engage in any productive industry, is
essentially sickly, and can bring neither
man or nation out Of a financial slough.
What we need now is to have people
begin to buy rs usual, and sell as usual,
and make As usual, and trust each other
as usual. OF course, the delicate ma
chinery Of credit once deranged cannot
be readjusted in a day, but the process
Of REIMBURSEMENT can be greatly hsstened
by getting people to understand that, as
usual after panics, they are more fright
ened than hurt; and the way 70 do this
is not to look about every day for fresh
omens and predict fresh disasters, but to
present the good side Of the situation so
far as the truth will allow.

THE Pamela Star OF this week has a
very sensible article reviewing "hard
times" and says truly that they are
mainly due to the fact that too macy
men are trying TO live without work
too many young men had rather clerk,
be book agent, or get some feathered
nest at twenty-five dollars per month
and pay twenty for board, than to go to
the plowhsndles. And this aversion to
labor is not confined 10 the young men;
many of the older heads are endeavor-
ing, by speculating in labor and rents,
by hiring a few hands and running q
farm, to avoid taking hold Of the pillow
themselves. The result of this is, that
there are too many consumers and toe
few producers.

WE regret that our reporter, in report
ing the few words spoken by Major
Sykes on Monday night, made him say
that he would "enlighten' the people,
whereas he said that he wished to ad-
dress them on financial topics, and that
he could show that it was not State tax
es, but city, county and Federal taxes,
and the curse Of Radical legislation that
burdened the people. Major Sykes is a
very modest man, and never either ven
lures his opinions or ability unssked.
We make this correction cheerfully, es-
pecially since he has been assailed in a
quarter where, rs a Democrat and Con-
sentative, he had & right to look fol
friends.

The Radicals have discovered theil

Thus has Mr.. Perkins hesped fagots
around himself, and the eolored voters
are aching to light the pile on Tuesday
next. 1t is said that the more a spaniel
is kicked and cufed the more it loves
its assailant-t the more anxious it is to
lick the hand that smites it. II, after
reading the extracts above, the colored
voters deposit their ballots for Mr.. Per
kins simply because he is on the Radi-
cal ticket all that q candidate has to do
hereafter to secure the negro vote, Is to
write a stupid pamphlet, and tell the
colored voter that be is q man "but very
few removes above the brute creations"
that "the very odOr emitted by their
persons, the e0arseness and unseemh-
ness of their features, and the general
stupidity Of their minds, or dizziness of
intellect, have only to be observed 70
establish" that they are beasts. If say
ing this much fails to secure the colored
voter, let the writer agree with Mr.. Per-
kins that the negro sis the child of
hell" and that emancipation "has de-
stroyed not only his usefulness and
value to the owner, but to the world as
9 member Of society, and consigned
him to perpetual existence Of brutal
.Iicentiousness and incidence" and the
negro will rally to his support.

PANAMA. Oct. 5.-A correspondent
to the Star and Herald, writing from
Antigua, Guatemala. under date of the
4th inst, gives an account of the earth
quake: 1t shook the ground violently
from west to east. Wave-like undula-
tons on the surface rose and fell at least
foot. The first strong shock lasted
from twenty-five to thirty seconds. The
contents Of large water tank in the
court yard of a hotel were thrown out.
Cries and screams continued after the
early terror had somewhat subsidized, and
long after there was the noise of walls
falling, more or less distant, mingled
with the sounds of hundreds of voices
chanting hymns for mercy. Many
shocks followed during the night, every
one of which gave rise to new alarm and
new implorations. 1t was intensely
dark during the continuance OF the
shocks. An inspection in the morn.
ing showed that about two dozen
inhabited houses were destroyed,
causing the loss OF 80 lives. The mum.

have to be taken down. is considerable
