Nashville Correspondence of the Louisville

When tell you that the taxes collected
under such resolutions as the above pays
the running expenses of the State govern
ment, you will readily see how impracti-
cable plan this is to State with a
bonded Indebtedness OF over twenty mil
lions of dollars. Of course, if no more
than simple expenses were paid, the bond
holders would grow clamorous, and the
credit of the State would be impaired in
n measure which as true people as
those of Tennessee can not and will not
endure. The financial embarrassments
Of Tennessee have been greatly exag-
Grated by certain interested and other
ignorant parties. The State Is in really
no worse condition, financially, than are
ning-tenths of the northern States, where
the first intimatiOn of proposition to re-
pudiate would cOnEiGn its authOr to pO-
litical infamy and death. tax of forty
cents on the hundred dollars has, accord
ing to the report of the comptroller, been
amply sufficient for the past two years to
meet all the current expenses Of the
State government, and the same report
says that the same rate of taxation will
be amply sufficient for the ensuing two
Years without any increase OF assessment.
Bat some fifty millions or more of rail
road property which has hitherto escaped
taxation, either through charter ex-
emptiOns or by the negligence of the as
SCISSORS, will henceforth be called upon
to contribute TO the support of the State
to whose liberality they owe their exist
ence, and it is not at all improbable that
even lower rate of taxation may be
adopted with perfect security of meeting
all the obligations Of the State. Such be-
ing the case, it seems incredible that any
suggestions of reputation should find a
hearing among so high-minded and honor
able people as those Of Tennessee.

The Gospel Of EEate.
I Boston Herald !


At the regular weekly meeting of the
| Methodist preachers of Boston and vicini-
ty, held at Wesleyan Hail. Tuesday after
noon, the recent difficulties in Louisiana
we're discussed at considerable length.
Bishop Bowman gave an account of what
he know about the treatment Of cOlOred
people in Louisiana, narrating a number
of instances iii which they had been
shamefully abused, and deprived of life,
even By invitation, Rev. b. l.. Ives, of
New York, addressed the meeting and
his speech was of the most radical kind
He declared there is altogether too much
tOadyiSm on the part Of Northern peo-
pie in their treatment of the South.
He said We are undertaking now to
coax the devil out of the miserable whelps
down South, when nothing but strychnine
and cannon ought to be used. He rather
agreed with Phil. Sheridau's declaration
during the war, that if he had owned
hell aud Texas, he would lease out Texas
and live in the other place. Mr.. Ives
administered a CastlgatIOn to the church,
declaring that there is not paper in the
Methodist Church that dares to discuss
the Civil Rights bill, and ask that it be
enforced. He said he believed the mean
est seals in the South are in tie MethoE
dist Church South He declared himself
a Radical of the strongest kind, and said
he believed the more he hated the rebels
of the South, the more he loved God.
lie declared he believed the spirit now
rampant in the South, has'gotto be crush
ed out by another war, and he longed
for the appearance of some colored man
able to become a leader among his people,
welding the sword and torch. He said
the Bishops ought to come out publicly
and declare the whole truth about the
treatment of the colored people in the
South, but he did ut believe they would.
If they did, he knew they couldn't return
to the South, for il they did they would be
hung but he intimaled that it was no
worse TO hang Bishop than a minister,
but he suggested if it was done it might
wake up the people quicker than any
thing else.
He thought the Bishops were to tender
hearted, and they reminded him of the |
man who wanted to cut Off his dogs tail !
but he was too tender-hearted to cut it off |
where it ought to be, 50 he cut it off an |
inch at a time The speech Of Mr. Ives |
was received with frequent demonstra-
tons Of approval, some Of his most radi-
cal utterances exciting considerable APP
plause mingled with laughter.
