Redflrid on our State Debt.

H.. V. Rcdfeld, correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writes as iol
lows to that paper in regard to Ten
ncssee's debt:
"The Governor has called the Leg
islature to meet in extra session Dec
9th. to take action in reference to the
State debt. AT last a majority of the
creditors have offered to shave down
their bonds forty per cent, which was
the figure named Ivy a committee OF
creditors last winter, but not generally
acQuiesced in by the rest. TO bring
them to terms, the Legislature put the
tax rate down to one mill on the dol
lar, and hastily adjourned. 1t had the
desired effect. A majority OF the cred,
itors now agree to take new bonds at
the rate Of sixty cents on the dollar,
seeing that they ale otherwise 10 q fair
way TO get nothing. That is, for in
stance. n man with a 81 900 Tennessee
bond had rather exchange it for a
5000 new bond, giving the State S40O,
than to lose all. The State officials
generally. from Governor Porter down,
think the sixty per cent. proposition a
liberal one, and that the State should
accept. But the Legislature showed
its hand during the regular session,
and ! fear will not meet the creditors
half way. From what We know of the
conduct OF the honorable members, we
may expect them to attempt to beat
the helpless creditors to fifty per cent,
or eve forty, and ] know several
members who insist that thirty-three
cents is sufficient.
"Were ] q creditor / would prefer

taking my chances with q new body
rather than with the old one, which
