ANOTHER PHASE OF THE QUESTION.

There are good reasons to believe
that there was not more than four
hundred thousand dollars in the
State Treasury when the announce
ment was made that the interest
would be paid in New York and
Nashville on the 18th of September.
The Memphis repositories had only
about $4,000, the gradual accu-
mutation Of several months collec-
tons in Shelby and other counties
that deposit here. If the money to
take up 100000 in coupons was
not derived from the usual sources
Of revenue, where did it come from?
The Governor has announced that
the borrowing policyh has been aban-
doned. This was after he made the
attempt and then failed for want Of
good collaterals. There is a re-
ticence in the air of the capital that
is oppressive and almost impenetra-
BILE. The State Treasurer did not
know in June when these coupons
would be paid, if ever. The edi-
tors Of the American and Knox
vile Tribune said rather sarcastic
cally, that they had not been
consulted and knew nothing of it
until some time after the Demo
cratic convention, held at Nashville
in August. Surface indications now
point to another borrowing trans
action. The Fourth National Bank
at Nashyille,a State depository,could
tell something about it perhaps.
We have, to believe that the pay.
ment Of coupons in New York and
Nashville was not resolved upon uu.
til certain banks or individuals had
agreed to advance enough to make
up the required amount after pay
ing out all the money in the State
Treasury. The borrowing power
still is vested in the executive off
GERS, thanks to a veto which his
Excellency sent in early in the
session of the last Legislature. He
can lawfully borrow money to an
unlimited amount under an act
passed while the Radicals were in
power. Now, if the State officers
have borrowed one or two hundred
thousand dollars, we would like ia
know what collateral has been put
up--bonds, coupons or what, and
what rate of interest is paid We
do not positively assert that any
money has been borrowed at all, but
have reasons for thinking so. The
Governor will be here this week
and will be received with the mark;
of respect and courtesy due his
rank and station, and he will nc

Elections viii be held tomorrow
in Indiana, Ohio and West Vir-
ginia. The greatest interest is
centered in Indiana, the State of
Morton and Hendricks. The can
| yass:: there is intensely hot. Every
man, woman and child seems to be
an active partisan. In Ohio, the
home of the Republican candidate
for President, the excitement is
perhaps almost as great But the
Republicans have concentrated
great force in Indiana, believing
that if they could defeat the Demo
crazy at the home of Hendricks
they could certainly defeat Tilden
and Hendricks in November. The
ablest speakers of both parties have
been canvassing both these States
for weeks; meetings and torchlight
professions occur every night ;
the press is full of politics, and
the people are wild with Gu
thusiasm, aud it is hard to foresee
the result. The outlook in Indiana,
however, is very encouraging to the
Democracy, and there is a hope Of
making almost a tie in Ohio, if not
carrying the State. Should Indiana
go Democratic and Ohio go Repub-
can by only a small majority, the
Tilden and Hendricks ticket will
gain strength in every State in the
Union. Should Indiana 60 Repub-
lican the result will be very dis
c%ouraging. The contest is watched
with intense interest in every part
Of the country.
