Its now the policy of the Govern
ment to encourage the building of en-
terprises of this character with ma
terial aid, and whether this particular
policy is in accordance with the politi-
cal education of the people of Tennes-
see is not now practical question
The whole theory Of the government
has undergone a radical change on
this subject, and it is the part of wis
dom to recognize it, and to secure if
possible whatever advantage may re-
suit to Tennessee and the South by the
adoption of this policy. / recommend
therefore, the adoption of a resolution
inviting the attention of the Senator'S
and Representatives in Congress from
Tennessee to this subject, and to the
necessity of securing such legislation
by Congress as will secure the build
ing of this railway.
LOUISIANA.
The condition Of affairs 10 this State
has excited the liveliestinterest on the
part of the people of Tennessee. They
witness with alarm the successful at
tempt that has been made upon the
purity and independence of the local
government of Louisiana, and feel that
if the powers now exercised by the
Federal government in maintaining
the usurping State government are
conceded as legitimate, that their own
right of self-government may be ques.
toned and ultimately denied. The
theory now practiced by the Federal
authorities, that the States are mere
municipal corporations, to be governed
by the central, authorities at Wash.
ington, is political heresy that mus.
be denounced and repealed by all who
seek to maintain the principles of con.
stitutional liberty. / submit herewith
to the consideration of the General
Assembly joint resolutions adopted
by the Legislatures of Virginia, -Geor-
gia, Ohio and Missouri upon this sub
ject. JAS. ID. PORTER.

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
IMMIGRATION.

This is question of great concern
to the people of Tennessee, aud while
our State possesses unsurpassed at
fractions to the immigrant. ip climate,
fertility of soil, cheap lands With vast
mineral resources, We have failed to
advertise these advantages, aud | sub
NIT to the General Assembly the pro-
priety of such practical legislation on
this subject as will enable the Com
missioners OF Immigration to bring
this subject to the attention of the
world, and | recommend that YOU in-
dictate in some form the desire of our
people to welcome the honest immi-
grant, without regard to his national
ity, religion or politics.
HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE.
| transmit the biennial report ofith
Trustees, Superintendent and Treasur-
er Of the TenuesSes Hospital for the
Insane. This report exhibits the OPP
erationS of the Institution fOs the past
two years, and is commended to your
thoughtful consideration.
sOibIFHS VI HE MEAICAN war
l call your attention TO the fact that
the services of these veterans have,
as vet. received no suitable reeogni-
ton: and recommend the adoption
of Joint resolution asking the Fed
oral Congress to place the names of
the survivors and the widows of those
deceased, upon The pension rolls of
the government. The grand results
that followed the achievements of tie
gallant soldiers of tue Mexican war
are now so apparent that no reason can
be assiga ed foT longer withholding from
them this simple sst Of justice.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The successful operation of the rail-
way System Of the South depends up
on the early completion Of an outlet
to the Pacific ocean. No State is more
vitality interested in the completion of
the Southern Pacific Railroad than
Tennessee, but without some guaran-
tee of assistance from the Federal
Government the scheme will be indef
:ai.ely postponed, if it does not result
in an eAtir5 failure.

The people Of Tennessee recognize
the necessity of affording free educa-
ton 10 all the children OF the State
The system now in operation ia { wise
one in many respects, aud ought to lis
made the subject of the most friendly
legislation, such legislation as viii
make every child in the State Its bene,
fciary. The general sentiment OF
onr neople is favorable to the cause Of
popular education. Our prosperity
denends on the maintenance OF the
system inaugurated two years ago, and,
if any change is made, IL ought only to
affect the details in such manner as
will afford increased educational facli-
tiles. :,

from the Tennessee State fea@asrs
Association, on the subject OF the

THE STATE PENITENTIARY.

The lease. of this institution will
expire the LIST of December, 1875. aud
the duty devolves to you of determin-
ing the disposition to be made of it,
The present policy is a very question
able one, but if it is to be released,
the manner and terms of the lease
should be definitely settled, and should
be made in time to enable the Jesse to
provide the necessary material and
supplies for prosecuting the business
of the establishment
The penitentiary building is wholly
inadequate for the accommodation OF
the convietS now occupying it; no
proper system OF discipline can be en-
forced. and no sufficient provision can
be made for the health or moral cOG-
dition Of the prisoners the enlarge
meut of the present buildings is not
desirable, because of the location. and
i recommend to the consideration of
the Legislature the Pr0priety of sell
ing the establishment and erecting
new one at some point outside of the
city Of Nashville, with accommodates
suited TO the wants of the State; but
our financial embarrassment will pre-
vent the construction of this much
needed improvement now, unless a sum
Sui;i cient can be realized from the sale
of the buildings and grounds,

recommend the amendment of the
act creating this Bureau so az to re-
quire of the Secretary the collection,
classification and publication of a full
statistical report of the material in
terests of the State, with special ref
erence to transportation, manufactures
and trade. Such a report would be Of
material assistance in furnishing cor
rect data for future legislation on
questions relating to the assessment
and tsKation of certain property, and
would furnish q character of infOrma-
ton invaluable to persona looking tC
our State as future home.

FEES AND pERoUIsITES.

Much complaint is made by the tax
payers of the State at the amount of
fees and perquisites received by many
Office holders in Tennessee. The COM
pensation of all public servants should
Ice reasonable, but no place should
have attached to it such an income as
will justify the employment of corrupt
means in obtaining it. and | recon-
mend the passage of general law
limiting the incomes Of all officials to
a certain amount, and providing that
all fees in excess of the prescribed
limit shall be paid into the public
treasury.

lag statement to be furnished to that
body Of the sale of 10000 acres Of land
donated to the State by the General Gov
eminent for agricultural purposes, isvery

suspicion, almost reduced to moral
certainty, that there was an improper
manipulation OF that donation by some
parties high in authority, and the matter
should ho looked into. 1t Is

One OF fTaImadge's Trades.

New YORK, December 5.-There was
an immense crowd at Brooklyn Taber-
nacle this morning, to hear Talmadge's
sermon on the Bible in the public schools.
He denounced all men and all sects that
would take the Bible out of the pnblic
schools, and said that it never would be
done while enough of Plymouth Rock re-
mained to furnish flints to make the fires
of true patriotism burn. He was fire.
quently applauded in the course OF the
sermon. Talmadge said he saw some
politicians present whom he knew by
their bloodshot eyes and lecherous lips;
they would 90 down to where
all liars, thieves and whoremongcrs go;
to that eternity where Tweed aud other
politicians go. He had heard that Tweed
had taken steamship and gone away.
He hoped that when they were out some
fifteen hundred miles from Liverpool
they would put him into a life.boat and
give him pair of oars, 50 that he might
work his passage. There were at least
five thousand people present.

The Next state Ticket.

Editors of the Register.
Judging by the kindness exhibited by
the REGISTER heretofore, 10 persons who
desired to call public attention to mat
tiers of general interest, | presume the
few suggestions | have to offer IN rcIa-
ton to the proposed Democratic candi-
dates will not be thrown aside. | desire
to call the attention of the party to the
propriety of nominating the following
State ticket:
For Gorsl7lor- Alexander Monroe, OF
Hampshire.
For Aditor-Jo5eph 5. Miller, Of
Cabell
For Trcasure,,-Isaac J.. Enoch, of
Writ.
For attorney Gensral--Wm. T. Ice, of
Barbour.
For state Superintendent gf Free &choo'.
Sylvester Chapman, of kanawha.
Fo,, .Etdges of the Court Of AppcoIs-
First DStrict-Jacob b. jackson.
Second District-A f. Raymond.
Third District-Robert +. Dennis.
From conversation with the represent
atlves of the people from the various
counties of the State and from isforma.
tion gathered directly from the people
themselves, am satisfied that the ticket
given above will be in every way satisfac
tory to the people. As to the qualltca
tions of the gentlemen named, there is
no doubt, and the division Of the offices,
us to territory, must tavorably impress
the people of the State.
Should the gentleman named be nom
mated by the Democratic State Conven-
tion, they will receive the hearty support
of the Democracy of the
"BACK COUNTIES"
