REPORT OF THE STATE DEBT
COMMISSIONERS.
Nashville American

It is understood that the report Of
the Enloe.Baxter commission is sat-
isfactory to the Governor, and that
he will issue his proclamation order
ing the election at an early day. The
people of Tennessee will rejoice at
the fattering prospect Of a settle
ment of this harrassing question,
which has retarded her progress and
depressed her industries for some
years. The railroads are promptly
coming forward and through their
boards of directors accepting the
terms of the act of settlement APP
plicable to them. Those roads that
have not already acted have called
meetings of their boards to act upon
the matter without delay. Messrs.
Enloe and Baxter have prosecuted
their important mission with which
they we're charged with that degree
of patience and persistence essential
to success in the most difficult I'M
dertakings.
The report shows the animus Of
the opposition, and indicates a con.
tiuuation of their hostilities upon
the part of certain gentlemen who
have involved themselves in litiga-
ton with the railroads, and are GEEK
ing to draw to their support others
to share the burdens OF the contest.
It is a strange phenomena when a
gentleman seeks to use a position Of
trust for personal profit, and boldly
assumes to hold the key to the des.
TIMES of State and her creditors,
for which be must be compensated,
as a condition to his consent for the
State to settle with. the creditor.
Such Is the attitude in which the
leader and active organizer of oppo-
sition to the settlement has placed
himself, by his statements to the
Governors commissioners.
