Mr.. Redfeld, writing to the Cincinnati
Commercial from Tennessee, about the
debt of that state, says:
$50 far AS we may Judge from appear
ances the Legislature will scale the debt
1t is an outrage that all the citizens of the
state should be brought into this disgrace
but l fear the debt-paying portion are in a
minority. If the holders of the state s
obligations can get off without a deeper
shave than forty per centum they NAV
consider themselves fortunate. This would
reduce the debt to about $l9,000,000. The
present rate of taxation-four mills-will
easily pay interest on this, and admins.

lower than four mills. Think OF the in
fanny of this when but three or four states
in the Union, whether North or South, in
debt or out, have a lower tax than four
mills. The people of Tennessee pay their
taxes as easily as the people of any Other
state, and much easier, for all the sur.
rounding states have heavier rate than

Canada seems to be worse off financially,
than the United States. 1t appears from
Dun, Barlow & Co.'S report that, in 1876,
the proportion of mercantile failures in
Canada was one TO every thirty-two in
business, while in New England it was one
in filty-nine. and in the whole United
States one in sixty.nine. The total amount
of liabilities in the Canadian failures was
1925, 100000 against S2S,8O0,000 last year
while in the United States it was $l91, ILL.,
786. against $201, 060,353, last year. The
average amount of liabilities to n failure
in Canada were Sl4,767; in the New Eng
land states, S2S,628; and in the whole
United States 1871, 020. The cause of the
financial distress in Canada is failure OF
the crops; what it is in this country every
body knows, or thinks he knows.

Senator Edmunds opened the debate on
the Electoral Count bill on Saturday in a
strong and concise legal argument. 1t was
an amplification of the Committees re.
port, with strong attack on the theory
that the President of the Senate makes the
count, super added, ending with defense
of tho constituLionality Of the measure.
The theory of the speech, as Of the bill, is
that the power to ascertain the true and
lawful result of the Presidential election is
vested in Congress; that the provision in
the Constitution upon this subject, like the
other provisions of that instrument, do not
execute themselves, but require legislation
to give them effect; that the proposed
measure is fully warranted by the Consli-
tuition.
This speech of Mr.. Edmunds is said to
have been the most memorable one made
in the Senate for many years. We do not
give his arguments upon the electoral
count at length because they are in the
same line and point to the same conclusions
rs those of Mr. Wizards articles which we
have published.
The concluding sentences ST Mr.. Ed
munds' speech are as follows
You find that the President of the Senate
never limited on the face of the earth that
he had such power, and that each house,
in the ab ence of legislation, assumed-l
think there is great doubt about the cor
rectnesS of their assumption; but they did
assume, either by the expression of their
Judgment or by the dictates of their COM
mand--to determine what should be done
So then, Mr.. President, it cannot be main
tanned that this bill is unconstitutional
upon the ground that it takes away from
the President of the Senate or the House of
Representatives. power which the Con-
otitulion has vested in them, free from
limit and free from guide, and free from
regulation, to be exercised according to
their own opinion of what may be the pub
lie prapriety Of the occasion.
Having said so much, Mr.. President,
for the present dismiss the subject, in the
hope that the Senate will carefully consid-
er whether it is wise, by stimulating
doubts in their own minds, or by allowing
their wishes to overturn their Judgment,
10 send this K public on the first Thursday
in February or the second Wednesday in
that month, like the mountains which the
poet has spoken of, that were tumbing
into the sea without shore; or whether
it is better that in the fair course of equal
law dispute Shall be.juslly settled.

The wide spreading pond is now somewhat

TIE old mil has ceased its musical din;
The saplings that stood by the bridge have

And that noble structure has nov fallen in.

But my fathers cottage is now replaced
By palace-like maDsion;-yet the dairy

On the same old site, but greatly deiaced.

Words of Wisdom.

Governor Porter in his recent
really excellent inaugural address
gave utterance to the following
thoughts which should be repro
duced in every paper in the State:
five would escape this condition
we must disregard those capricious
humors of the hour, that ascribe
personal failures and follies to the
State, and demands legislation as a
cure for personal blunders; let Us
multiply the variety OF our pursuits,
let us address ourselves to the crea-
tion of new industries, aud a home
market for our surplus productions,
let us make education free TO all
children of the State; then we can
exhibit to the world a State great
in the area OF its territory, great in
the fertility of its mineral deposits,
but greater in the commanding sx-
cellence of its institutions, the i'm
partislity OF its laws, and tho vir-
tues Of ies cisizens.s

The Need of Hard work.

II takes a sound body TO make a
sound mind. Work is not vulgar.
SO long as the brain needs the
juices Of the body, so long will hard
work be the fundamental element in
the development of the mind. Busi-
ness is eminently &c for a man Of
genius, and to earn a livelihood Is
the best way TO sharpen ones wits
Besides, business affairs offer better
opportunities at present than the
so called professions. Therefore,
our youth should be thoroughly
and practically trained for business,
in order.that they may succeed and
become a credit 10 whatever calling
they may adopt. At the same time
they should be educated not TO des-
pise labor; for after all, II is only by
hard work thatiwe achieve any sue
cess worthy OF the name.
