PAYMENT OF THE INTEREST. .
Rarnar

We notice that the Memphis papers e
making more or less of q rumpus because the
State officials have done theiI duty III regard
to interest payment. Governor Porter said in
his open letter, many months ago, that when
there was sufficient mo oney in the treasury he
would pay a coup6n, but that he would not
borrow the money to do so. Now, after hav-
ing paid all the floating debts, Including war
rants and every other sort of indebted ness, he
find. in the treasury an ample amount to clear
up what was left OF the coupons of July, 1874,
and January, 1875, and TO pay the next oidt 81
coupon due July, 1875. The monsy was col
lected from the people for this purpose, and
he has simply Done his duty in applying II,
and no honest, right-thinking man can look
him in the face and tell him that he has done
wrong.

INTEREST MUST BE PAID.
Upton Record.

The duty, then, of the comptroller and
treasurer Is plainly marked out by statute,
and the governor has nauAht TO do with it In
any way. Since the passage of the acts of
February and July, 1870. above referred to-
under the acts of the sessions OF 1869 II, OF
which Mr.. ID. B. Thomas was lez ding n am
be-, all The states lien on railros DIS, etc has
been IorecloEed, AID now we suggest that
thera is no difference between the stale debt
proper and what the State owt s on internal
Improvement account, and, theI efOre, there
Is no distinction TO make as 10 payments after
we hNve paid current expenses and the inter
est on bonds held by educational and religious
societies. but all are to be paid in order OF ma
tur1ty. If CUR city press are correct in the
position they assume, what is 10 be done with
the money on hand with the treasurer 4tis
said that the states account In ITS several De.
posttoIies is beginning to be worth something
in Memphis that claim TO divide this
benefit of being State repositories. Is
this the matter? We hope our next assembly
Will endeavor, and succeed, in effect ng a
compromise between the Stale and its credit
ors, or, in other words, conc. ssion from It's
bondholdeIs. We have @ moral claim for an
abatement OF portion of our debt, and an
equitable claim against another portion there
OF, and we believe our creditors recognize
thIs, and will meet Us fairy on these ques-
Jions If we will but do our part honestly. Are
we acting honestly IT, with money in our
treasury, we refuse to pay any at allf And
| is it honest for us to advocate q twenty-cent
| tax when we know that 1t will be utterly in
| sufficient 10 pay any interest? Is it wise or q
prudent economy, when already complaining
of the magnitude of our debt, we take no
steps 10 meet Its yearly interest in whUle or in
| part and thus allow it to grow larger? Let us
| mol delude ourselves, neither allow dema-
| g1gues to delude us, but look at the facts, and
| then deal with them in practical way, as best
our circumstances will allow, and as honest
| men.
