The state Of Tennessee IL heavily
in debt and don't pay the interest on
it. There does not seem 10 be any
disposition manifested by the demo-
cratic rulers to pay principal or inter-
est. Her creditors have become al

take fifty cents on the dollar, il the
state will issue new bonds in lieu of
the old ones and make provision for
the payment Of interest. The Legis-

The business men Of the state are
now alarmed at the menace of pub
lie rascality, fearing the result In .
commercial way, and are petiti0ning
the Legislature not to repudiate. The
state Of Mississippi, some thirty years
ago, under the lead Of JEFF Davis,
|repudiated her debt and the state
has been repudiated in the money
markets of the world, ever since.
1t was very fitting that Davis the
knave, should culminate in Davis the
arch traitor. We are not surprised
that now the states once in rebellion,
have dropped back again into the
hands Of the democracy, they are
plotting reputation. Even in Old
Virginia the repudiation scheme has
almost obtained the power. In such
states 10 where democracy flourishes,
There never was and there never will

news indicate that the Legislature il

pARLrAMENT ro MEET N !,

L PARLIAMENT TO MEET IN JANUARY.
LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The morning pa.
lpers officially announce that Parlia.
ment will meet on the Hth Of Janu.
larry.
/ It is stated that the Cabinet has de.
cided to ask Parliament to vote q
grant of money for such increase OF
the British army as the present state
of Europe demands.
The Posts leading editorial fore
shadows q grant for military prepar-
ations, and, after reviewing the ru-
mors which have been current of late
concerning the separate arrangements
Detween Russia and Turkey, says: y
ITO make England's words heard
70 make mediation respected or inter-
vention effective--it is necessary to
appeal to the representatives Of the
nation for requisite support. We
cannot entertain the slightest doubt
that Parliament will not only readily
accord whatever money is necessary
to put the national strength in q con-
dition for active efficiency; but will
heartily endorse policy in accor-
dance with the true interests of per-
rnanent peace and the noblest tradi-
ton Of the country. Et is certain the
Cabinet Is united in this resolve, and
with the opening of the new year we
shall witness the inception of clear
and rational policy.
. The Standard, in its leader, ex-
plains that the victory of the Russians
is not the cause Of this meeting Of Par
liament, but thu 1fcehse which II 6tv.''
en- to Russia by Germany and Austria
to use the victory in her own way
This is what constitutes danger to
British interests. England can never
consent to a quarrel being arranged
on these terms. She may even have
cause to demur to q peace made be-
tween belligerents. She claims q
voice in the settlement, and it is that
she may be prepared to insist upon
that voice that the government is
adopting those measures which Par
lament will be invited to sanction.
The Times deprecates too much inn
portance being attached to an early
summoning of Parliament, and points |
to numerous instances in which cabi-
nets actions have been ministcrpreted |
even by their own supporters, as for |
instance, the sending Of fleet Of war |
vessels to Besika Bay. If any previ-
GUS Cabinet had summoned Parlia-
ment thus early the natural inference |
would have been that they were
about to demand q grant of money
for the support of some step to be |
taken by the Queen on the advice ofl
her Ministers.
The Times thinks such conclusion
in this case would be far in advance
of the truth. Parliament will not |
meet to enforce the resolution that
has been formed by the Ministers,
but more probably to spare the Min
listers the trouble of forming reso-
luton. By the time Parliament meets
the government will perhaps be able
to show that our interests are in some
way attacked but for the present the
however irritated at Russian
ambition and Servian treason, cannot
believe itself in any danger.
