HOBBS.
He DivuIges the whole Secret.

We clip the following statement OF
the Hobbs investigation from the Nash
vile Bulletin, the Republican journal
which first ventilated the transaction,
but which also implicated Gov. Brown
and Col. Burch. The check referred to
was drawn by John Frierson, of Col
umbia, and was paid by w. NJ. Duncan,
of Nashville. The prominent Banker
who was to have been Comptroller is
understood to be Mr.. Weaver, of Nash
vile.
Mr.. w. W. Hobbs, the ex-Comptrol-
Ter whose name has been more or less
prominent before the people of Tennes-
see for two years past, reached the city
at five a. NJ. to-day, Sergeant at arms
Prater having returned without him
last night, reporting that he couldn't
find him. Hobbs statement is now in
the hands of the investigating commit
tee, and it is said by those who have
| seen it, that it exceeds in wild and
thrilling interest any story ever pub
| lished in the New York Ledger.
| This statement is very voluminous,
and sets out the following facts.
! Hobbs, finding the duties of the Office
of Comptroller exceedingly heavy and
much more complicated than he had
dreamed of when a candidate for the
position, had determined to throw up
the Office and seek the sylvan shades of
his home, in the vicinity of Waverly.
just at this juncture he was approached
! by certain gentleman in this city, with
an offer of $40, 600 cash to vacate the Of
| flee of Comptroller. As prOmptness is
| one of Mr.. Hobbs most noticeable char
acterIstics, he at once jumped at this Of
| fer (fguratively speaking), accepted the
terms, a check for the amount was
drawn, transferred to the trowsers
pocket of Mr.. Hobbs, and within a very
| brief time the resignation of the latter
as Comptroller of the State of Tonnes
see was in the hands of Gov. Brown,
and Mr.. Hobbs sought the seclusion of
| private life, cOngratulating himself on
being $4,000 ahead of the game.
The check was drawn on a bank in a
| neighbOring town, and it was the I'M
Outstanding that a banker within a
thousand miles of this city was to be al
lowed to step into Hobbs official shoes,
but this part of the programme was
| baked by the appointment of the pres
ent incumbent. Now the question is,
did the men who furnished the pot
gain by the change enough to make this
outlay of $4,000 paying investment?
The statement eXOnerates Governor
Brown and the present Comptroller
from completely in the arrangement by
which the office was vacated. Hobbs
was before the committee this after

Bargain and Corruption.

There are vague conjectures afoat
that certain aspirants for the Senator
ship are trying to bargain away their
present doubtful chances to certain other
aspirants for promises of support two
years hence. This is the worst kind of
corruption, and the man who sells out
should be disgraced In the party. The
people of the State should never submit
to such bargain and sale, by which they
and their party are to be misrepresented
by corrupt and ambitious men.
