On one question, certainly, the C7lron.
icJe and the Tribune are in accord. We
refer to the question of the State debt.
And We are glad to see that not only the
Chronicle and the Tribune, but other
leading papers in Tennessee, are spsak-
ing out manfully on the subject. We
nCte as being conspicuous in this regard
the Ciart sville Chronicle and Tobacco
Leaf, the Pulaski Citizen, the Athens
Post, the Chattanooga Times and the
Commercial, the Columbus Herald and
Maii, the Columbia Journal and the
Ga!Iatin Examiner. There are no doubt
others, but thtse mentioned have re-
Gently attracted our attention. The
very idea that the question of repudia-
ton, either partial or absolUte-snd as
well one as the other-should be serious
ly considered in Tennessee, is repugnRnt
to the traditional teDets of Tennesseans
in regard to public honts!y. In due
time we shall give some reasons for the
faith that is in US s-RaoIUiL,e Tribune.
