Gov. Porter Calls tho Tennessee
Legislature TO meet in Tx
ira Session.

The Legislature Of Tennessee
will meet December 9th, the day on
which the Legislature Of Virginia is
to meet. The object is to arrange
for compromise of the State debt.
The Bondholders offer 60 cents on
the dollar. The Nashville AsiERI>
CAN, the ablest paper in the State,
has this to say on the subject
The state Debt.
We publish this morning the pro-
clsmRtiOn Of Gov. Porter, converting
the Legislature in special session to
take sctiOn on the proposition made
by the creditors of Tennessee to ac-
cept bonds for part of their debt in
lieu OF the whole.
The public will, we are convinced,
applaud the wisdom of the Governor
in calling together the representatives
OF the people to decide this important
question. No well wisher of his State
will desire to see it drift further by u
hairs breadth towards the dangerous
doctrine of reputation. We have
made quite progress enough in that di-
rection to alarm the prudent and con-
sentative.
A different state of affairs in Virgin
ia, and q new tone in the South, ad-
mOnish us that it is time to settle and
get rid of this question, and to settle
1t honorably and fairly, with just
regard for the rights of others as well
as our our condition.
The following is Governor Por-
ter's proclamation

Miss Harrington's Murderers.

LOWELL, June 22.-Albert White and Isl
dore A. Cook were before the police court this
morning. on charge of being accessory to an
ABORTION resulting in death, on the person of
ents, representing the government, asked for a
continuance till July I'd. and that bail of $10,-
900 each be imposed. W. Fl. Anderson, coun-
sci for the prisoners, acceded to this motion,
which was granted. They were then removed
to Jail in default of furnishing the required
bonds: 1t is currently reported on the street
that White has made confession to the City
Marshal, but in an interview with the prisoner
IN bis cell, he stoutly reiterated his innocence
and denied this assertion.
1t is said that since the discovery of the MUIR
dered girls body, james HI. Favor who is IN
der Slo.0 QUO bail for his appearance before the
grand jury next week at Cambridge, has grown
noticeably uneasy and ILL., 1t is the intention
OF the government to bring White and Mrs
Cook before the grand jury next week, when, if
they are indicted the case in the police court
will be dismissed.
The body OF the girl is to be taken to Boston
today for burial.
City Marshal Cemence has received full
confession from Mrs. Cook daughter of Mrs.
Avery. He will not acknowledge who has
made the the confession. saying simply that be
is in possession of evidence which will show
who took the body from Mrs. Avery's house
and threw it into the river, but Mrs. Cook her.
self says she has told the marshal every thing.
Further particulars will not be known till the
trial: On the strength of this confession JAS
A. Favor. who is now under $4,000 bail on
charge of aiding in a criminal operation on
the Harrington girl has been arrested on an
other warrant for aiding in her death and be-
ing accessory before aud after the fact. His
case will come before Judge Crosby in the
morning when sufficient bail will be exacted to
insure bis safe incarceration till bis trial 1t
is certain that the Cook woman's confession
renders him subject for the extreme penalty

New YORK, June 22.-The Posts railroad
manual just issued states that the number of
miles of road opened in 1876 was 1856 against
1919 in 1875. The increase of mileage did not
arise from the construction of any new lines of
Importance, but was duechiefiy to the extern
sion of the Southern Pacific lines and the con-
struction of narrow guage lines, mostly in
Ohio, Texas and Colorado. While the mileage
was increased to 1856 miles the gross earnings
fell off S5S07 546, and the net earnings increas-
ed $946,3l The increase in the latter was the
result OF greater economy in operating. The
dividends paid out were SOS, 040, 900 against
$77, 294. 600 in 1879. Ten years ago there weJe
only 1926 miles of railroad in the United
States and at the close of last year there were
1850 miles.
The Manual contains the following on the
freight question:
Earnings from transportation of freight,
mails, &C., for the year 1876 were upon 1877
0S2, 900 tons OF freight As compared with the
previous year the tonnage transported shows an
increase Of COZ, 600 tons, while the freight
earnings show decrease of $2,822S56. This
decrease is wholly due to the great reduction
in rates of transportation. This reduction has
been steadily going on for the last five years.
In Massachusetts, which presents fair aver
age for New England, the reduction has been
from I'll per tcn per mile in 1871, to 2O4 per
ton per mile in 1876; while the quantity of
freight moved has increased fronts, 934 100 tons
in 1871, to II ,327, sol tons in 1876. In Ohio
which presents fair average for the Western
States. the reduction has been from /. 50 Der ton
per mile in 1871, to 112 per ton per mile in
1876, while the amount Of freigh moved has
increased from 1S 554, $40 tons in 1871, to Is
34S. 799 tons 1876: La New York, which fairly
represents the Middle States, the earnings per
ton mile have decreased from LIT in 1871 to
