The current expenses of the State
for the year 1875, according to an
article recently published in the
American, and coming professedly
from the present Comptroller,
amounted to $4,000
The interest for July of that year
(for it will be seen that the Comp
troller includes the January interest
in his estimate) was $687, ,25O.
Now the assessed value Of taxable
property in the State for that year
was, in round numbers, $275, 100000
la TAX OF 40 cents upon which
would amount in the aggregate to
$l,125,000 The amount realized
on the privilege tax and clerks
could hardly have amounted to less
than that of the previous year, and
may be placed at $360,OOO. Sum
ming up these we have:

A Plan for Relief.

In our issue Of last week, we pro
posed to show by few figures how
little cause for distrust there really
was at present among the friends Of
State credit in Tennessee. Some Of
fetal estimates have been made and
sent forth to the world, which do
indeed present a discOuraging state
of affairs, and may well raise appre-
tensions of the most serious kind
in the minds of those who. toiling
honestly in their own avocations,
are in the habit of leaving the af-
fairs Of State altogether to those
whose duty it is to take care OF
them. Let us, however, instead of
accepting vague estimates of the fu-
ture, based upon calculations as to
how far the tax collectors of the
State will fall short of their duty
during the next few years, start
from the last official report of Comp
troller Burch, made to the Legisla-
ture Of 1875, and placing the cur
rent expenses and interest against
the taxes levied for that year, as
certain precisely where we stand
to-day, or rather where we stood at
the beginning of 1876. The follow
ing report, published last week,
shows ''the financial condition of
Tennessee" d" at the beginning of the
year 1875.

The Washington Republican has
struck a sensible strain "Certain
New York papers are much alarmed
just now lest theI blessed constitu-
ton should be hopelessly fractured
by loan ofpublic credit in aid Of
the Texas and Pacific. It is singu-
lar that the same journals were not
troubled with any such fears when
the Credit Mob1lier were subsidized.
However, it costs money to run a
newspaper, and Gould and Hunting
tor have millions from the public
Treasury with which to stimulate
the Constitution loving consciences
of their friends. If the United
States has constitutional power to
open a wagon road for its mails
and supplies to posts on the South
ern frontier, has it not power to
build a cheaper and more useful
Toad2"
The Pittsburg Dispatch @has always
thought that it would be of greater
advantage to the interests of all con
eerned il the colored vote were
more divided and the freedmen did
not cast their suffrages solidly for
one party" and it says: ave are
very certain it would be very pro-
motive Of the best interests of the
country if the South were unit in
politics. Neither would it be for
the good Of the nation if the North
we're to 60 solidly for political
measures. Sectionalism was the
bane of the country before the war,
and It appears as If it would soon
/ become the curse Of the nation
I again. We do not wish 70 see a
solid North against a solid South,
for in such an event we would Ger
/ tainly have war. Yet, the tenden-
cv is in that direction"

publican party. He has labored at
the sacrifice of time and money, to
spread knowledge of its doctrines
among his people, and to prepare
them for the better discharge of
citizen duties. He has done most
for his country. He was, perhaps,
the first to advise the arming of the
blacks in the service of the Union,
and to urge the emancipation of the
slaves. The effect of these two
measures upon the results of the
war could scarcely be overestimated.
Viewed from every point, whether
party consistency, availability OF
personal desert, it appears right that
Frederick Douglass should be the
Republican candidate for vice pres
ident in the Centennial contest"
The New York Herald on the
Louisiana troubles: "The policy in
the South is peace. Avoid all rev
olutionary expedients. Let i'm
peachment be a remedy for high
crimes and misdemeanors, not a
political expedient Treat the ne
gro as a political equal Do not
drive him into the arms of thieves.
Teach him that suffrage means good
government and low taxes. Do not
accept every victory as meaning
necessarily the extermi nation of
of political opponents. When Ju-
bal Early defeated his Yankee ad-
versaries, instead of pursuing his
victory with order and discipline,
he took to plundering the camps
Before the sun went down he was a
routed fugitive. Let the Southern
Democrts ponder well this example,
remembering that victories like
those for which they are preparing
in Louisiana and Mississippi may
bring in their train a defeat as ter
rible as that which sent the needless
