Circumstantial Evidence.

A story illustrating The crushing force
of mere circumstantial evidence, has for
its hero Russian gentleman of distinc-
ton who, provided with strong aatter-
ing recommendations visited the coin and
medal room of the French National In
stitution. The coins and medals in this
collection being, toall intent and purposes,
priceless, the curators are compelled to
exercise the very Utmost caution as to
the admission of strangers, and to keep
sharp lookout on the visitors while
they are inspecting the rarest of the
numismatic treasures.
The Russian gentleman wished to see
medal-say of Constantine Chorus =
which was of gold, of large size, and re-
puted to be unique. Suddenly, while he
was bending over it, the medal disap-
peared, and the foreigner declared that
it had slipped from his hand and fallen
on the floor. After a scrupulous exami-
nation of every chink and Granny in the
room the officials began to doubt the
strangers integrity, and intimated that
it would be necessary to call the detec-
tive, and to have him searched, where
upon the gentleman evinced great men,
tai disturbance. As this agitation only
confirmed the suspicious of his guilt, a
policeman was actually summoned but
just as the half resisting stranger was
about to be exposed to gross indignity,
an attendant cried out that he had found
the medal. The efigy had indeed fallen
to the ground and rolled under one Of
the presses. The curators of the collec-
tion of course, overwhelmed the Russian
gentleman with apologies. But they
could not refrain from asking him why
he had exhibited SO much great reluc-
tance to be searched.
For this reason" said the foreigner,
still pallid and trembling with agitation:
/" 1t has been generally asserted and be-
lieved that the fellow of your Constan-
tine Chlorus medal is not to be found in
the whole world. You told me so, half
dozen times, this morning. Now |
happen to possess counterpart of this
same medal he produced it as he
spoke, from his waistcoat pocket" and
it was my wish to enjoy your discom-
future when | proved to you that your
treasure was not unique. But what
would have been my position if your
medal had not come to light, and mine
had been found in my pocket2 Who
would have believed my story about the
counterpart ?"

Hon. Dorsey B. Thomas.
His Record as n Legislator Utter
ly Inconsistent with His
Present Position.

The best test Of the sincerity
of an aspirant for political hon
ors, is his past political record.
If that record is consistent with
the principle he now advocates
he is worthy of confidence, and
not otherwise.
If we are correctly informed
the chief grounds of complaint
which Hon. Dorsey B. Thomas
and his Independent followers
have against the principles and
organization Of the Tennessee
Democracy are as follows:
First: Because the Tennessee
Democracy advocates the pay
ment Of the State debt in full
opposing reputation in all its
forms.
Second, Because the Tennes-
sec Democracy inaugurated and
carried out the sale of the State
interest in the iRSolreRt Rail-
roads and Turnpikes, whereby
the State has lost largely.
Third: Because the Democ-
racy of Tennessee passed the
act of january 20, 1870, encour-
aging the solrent Railroads of
the State to pay off their indebt-
eGness to the State in any of
the legally issued bonds Of the
State, whereby the great body
ofthe so-called Brownlow bonds
was put on the market and sold
for about 80 cents in the dollar,
were cancelled and absorbed IN
justly and improperly.
Fourth: Because the Democ-
racy of Tennessee passed the
present ten per cent. interest
law.
Ills POSITION on THE STATE
DEBT.
The first time we hear Of Mr..
Thomas holding any official
position, to which he was elect
ed by the people, was in Octo-
Der, 1869, when he appeared as
a State Senator from the coun-
ties of Benton, Humphreys, &c,
and was made Speaker of the
Tennessee Senate in the Both
General Assembly. This Gen
cral Assembly met and organ
lied on the first Monday in Oc-
tober, 1869. On the 18th of
that month, the Senate FASTENED
TO put on record by a unan'-
NOUS vote the following resolu-
tons, to be found on page 40
Senate journal, 1S69-70;
~Bv Mr.. Hall: Senate Joint
Resolution, No. 6, viz:
"WHEREAs, Reckless extrav-
agance on the part of those who
have heretofore controlled the
State Government in pledging
the public faith, by the issuance
of State Bonds, has tended
greatly to impair the public
Credit, and impart distrust to the
minds of many as to the ulti-
mate payment of our public
debt; and
"WHEREAs, A people who in
all their history have shown a
serupulous fidelity, commercial
Nv and otherwise to private obli-
cations. must consider justice to
all public creditors as essential

State: therefore, !

assembly Of the State Of Z Ten

lie affairs, by sanctioning in any
manner Indifference to pub
lie obligations.
"ResoEred, That expediency,
,ooether with the honor and
nod faith of the State, demand,

voted for the final passage OF the
bill; and, if any wrong has been
done the State, surely he aided
in perpetrating it.
HIS VOTE FOR THETEN PER CENT.
LAW. IJ
This Bill came up in the Sen
ate on the 23rd Of February,
1870, as will be seen as follows:
blouse Bill No. 217, To a.
mend the usury laws. and fix
conventional rate of interest,
was read.
"Mr. Self moved to strike oct
the first day of June, and insert
the first day of January, 1871.
Mr.. Self's amendment was
lost.
"The bill then passed its third
reading; Yeas, II; Nays, II.
"Senators voting i'll the affirm
alive are: Messrs. Bryant, Coop
er, of Bedford, Cooper, of Da-
wilson, Cubbins, Etheridgc,
Faulkner, Hall, Luttrell, Martin,
Pearson, Slaughter and Mr..
Speaker Thomas.
Senators voting in the mega
tive are: Messrs. Clementson,
Eason, Green, Hart, HAYES,
Millsaps, Morris, McFall, Palm
er, Peyton and Self.
See Senate journal 1869-7O,
page 1876. Now, if the ten per
cent. lawis odious and opprcs-
sive, Mr.. Thomas is responsible
for it; it will be seen that it
passed by single vote; had Mr..
Thomas voted against it, his
vote would have defeated it.
To sum up. He has put him.
self squarely on the record in fa-
vor of paying all the State debt,
in favor of the sale Of the rail-
roads, in favor of an eighty cent
tax, in favor of the act of Jan.
20, 1870, and in favor of the ten
per cent. law. In addition he
"dodged" the vote on can Act
to Fund the Floating Debt of
the State" passed Feb. q, 1870.
He seems to have been absent
when the vote was taken on it.
We assume that he favored it,
for the reason that the Journal
nowhere shows that on his re-
turn he asked to have his vote
recorded against it, which he
had the right to do. These
things are those of which Mr..
Thomas Independent followers
do most complain. They may be
consistent now, but with the
history of Mr.. Thomas career
as a legislator before them, if
they continue in his support
they will no longer be so. We
head this article with the charge
"Mr. Thomas legislative record
utterly inconsistent with his
present position" Have we
not made out the case? We
leave that to be answered by our
readers.
A few words as to Gov. Por-
ter. He is a sound democrat,
and has made the people of Ten
nessee an honest, faithful and
capable public servant. In 1869
when Mr.. Thomas was aiding in
running the State government,
the regular annual expense to
carry it Oh, exclusive Of the
interest on the State debt, was
1914, 900, and it has averaged
that amount each year since that
time until Gov. Porter's Access
sion to power. By exercising
that Careful retrenchmcnt ard |
rigid economy" which Mr..
Thomas and the State Govern
ment with which he was associ-
ated "preached' about in 1869,
in their famous anti-repudiation
resolutions quoted above, but
which they do not seem to have
"practiced," Governor Porter
has succeeded in reducing those
same expenses to $644,0OO for
the year 1875, and thinks that
the year 1876 will show reduc-
ton to 100000; or, about one
half the cost when Mr.. Thomas
was in power.
