A gloomy Outlook,

a recent cate says; I'VE we're on a short
trip down the river, where many alarm
ing indications came under our observa.
ton. Most Of the people feel detected,
and the belief is taking hold of about ali
classes that, if no change to a better
financial condition should take place in
the next six months, there will be terri.
BILE riots and outbreaks in all parts OF
the country. While Congressman are
enjoying themselves at Washington the
people are suffering more and more
every day, and hundreds and thousands
being without work, and having no
means Of living, starvation stares into
their faces, and still no rays of relief are
visible, eveH in the distant future. Such
a continued depression never existed in
this country; it seems impossible to en-
dure it any longer; and still Congress is
wasting its precious lime without daring
to heed tho terrible situation and do
something for the relief Of the suffering

THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.

House Last Night, Etc.

speech by Colonel OOlyaF, OF Nash
Vile, at the GreenlaW Opera
House Last Night, Etc.
Between three and four hundred citi.
zens, representing all classes Of society,
attended the Greenlsw Opera House last
evening and listened to Colonel A. S
Colyar, of Nashville, who discussed
State finances for about two hours. The
speaker was heartily applauded on sew
ersl points, and especially when he
pitched into the bloated bondholders,"
and when be threatened them with repu
diation by the people, whom they were
crushing out and driving into poverty by
their exorbitant and exacting demands.
He was opposed to reputation, hut the
people Of Tennessee were unable to pay
the debt, principal and interest; conse-
quently he favored a compromise with
the bondholders or with Wall street,
New York, because Wall street controlled
these bonds, and it would also control
the government, and would, if not
checked, control the people ere long,
just ss the money power Of England
controlled and beggared the masses Of
the working people Of that land. Col
Colyar took a dive into history and
showed the effect of the contraction
or resumption policy in England and
Germany, and contrasted the evil effects
of this policy in these countries with the
beneficial effects OF the inf alton policy
adopted by the French government since
the close Of the Branco-P russian war, a
policy that has given employment to all
classes Of people in France, and has
made the country prosperous, wealthy
and happy. He claimed that the pres.
ent government of the United States
had made the same blunder as that
made by England and Germany, and if
continued in, a like result of ruin
and poverty would follow and with the
direst consequences. He quoted
largely from Allison's history o.
Europe, and from later works by
more modern writer's on this financial
subject. The speaker favored the estab
lishment of a Board of Commission by
the Legislature for the purpose of bring
ing about this most necessary compro
mise with the bo%nd.holding creditors oil
the State, and he was opposed to in
creased taxation, because the people
were not able to bear it. The speech
was quite an able one, and was well de
livered. 1t was hot deep, nor did
cover the entire financial subject, but
bristled all over with facts and figure
of quite an interesting character.
took well, and the majority Of thos
present no doubt Endorsed the poSitio
taken by Colonel Colyar.
