MORE LIGHT on THE fORBETP
ISSUES.

The more we investigate the more
We are convinced that under the cir
cumstances, as they now exist, to
require the taxpayers to pay the
Torbett issues of the Bank Of Ten
nessee would be unjust and an out
rage. We have not alluded to this
matter for the purpose of making
political capital, though the party
in power is clearly responsible for
the bungling manner in which the
case has been managed. But were
we to quietly submit to the perpe-
tration of such injustice, We should
consider that we we're untrue to our
readers and to the people of the
State. We have never believed
that the cases before the courts, in
volying the legality of the Torbett
issues, were properly made up with
evidence accompanying them, going
to show the real purpose for which
these notes were issued. Our posi-
ton is sustained by the published
opinion Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States, and strengthened
by investigation.
We have before US a report Of a
special Legislative committee, On
this subject, presented to the Legs
lature on the 23d day Of March,
1878, and signed by NJ. L. AlcCon-
nell, Judge Houk, G. W. Martin,
Holmes Cummins, John S. Kerr
and John BIevins, members of the
two Houses of the Legislature at
that time, the last four mentioned
being Democrats. This committee
heard testimony at length, having
before them q number of distin-
guished witnesses and the deposi-
tions of others, including Dempsey
Weaver, n. L. Claiborne, Francis
B. FOgg, and Ex-Governor Isham G.
Harris. From the evidence taken,
the conclusion was irresistible that
the funds of the Bank of Tennessee
were exhausted by the demands
made upon the bank by the military
Board, and that no reason could
have existed for issuing the
Torbett notes, except in aid of the
rebellion. The conclusion Of the
committee is embraced in the follow
ing paragraph taken from their re-
port:
From the statements, usder CATH
