The State Debt Election.

Lie SIdJ6 OeUJ Gt6CtlOH.
The jackson Tribune and
San, in speaking of Gov.
Marks action in ordering the.
election upon the question of
the compromise OF the State
debt, as provided by the act of
the Legislature, has this to says
lie is the judge of his duty
in the matter and the little criii-
cism INDUCED generally comes
from his enemies, and the enc
mics Of any settlement. ALI
the real friends Of the State
who understand the present
situation III Tennessee endorse
the Governors action, because
they know it is this settlement,
II worse one for the creditors, or
none at all. with further injury
to the material interests of the
State. The report of the citi-
Zens' committee 10 the commits
Sioners recommended such ac-
ton as would give all who want
to fund at fifty cents a chance
to do so.
If ex-Governors JAS. ID. Por-
ter and John &. Brown, the
Hon. VIM. Rule, tie Hon. r.
Il. Butler and the other distin-
guishcd gentlemen who were
associated with them, are not
sound OH this question, let The
the man who is throw the first
stone.
If the Hon. John M. Flem-
ing and Hon. John G.. Burch,
the american, Banner, Knox
vile Tribune and Knoxville
Chronicle are not to be trusted
in dealing with the question
from the standpoint of State
credit what men and ncwspa-
pers will care for the honor of
Tennessee hereafter?
We have heard no man OBJ
ject because the settlement is
too high. The men who have
been called low tax men are
generally satisfied, the best State
credit men support it, then
where does this quibbling come
from?
Governor Marks did right to
submit it. He construed the
law correctly and no fair min
ded man will gainsay it. If he
had erred we should thank God
for the error. We know that
if Gov. Marks had wanted the
State to rcpudiate her debt he
could have had it done by SIM
ply refusing to order any cleo
ton. Interest accumulating at
the rate of one and half mil
lions a year for the balance Of
his term, and until another Leg
islature could act on it and get
it settled would have left little
choice for the people but to re-
pudiatc. The stickler after the
consent of a majority of the
bondholders ask more than the
law required, and in opposing
the settlement on that ground
his objection goes back to the
proposition made by the Legis-
lature and does not apply to the
action of Governor Marks.
This settlement is just and right.
Ii is the best we can make and
carry out without imposing bur-
dens upon our people which
they would throw off at the next
election. No settlement could
stand two years which burdens
the people with oppressive tax
alton, and we would oppose any
proposition as made in bad faith
which would, in our opinion,
promise more than our people
could or would perform. Ten
nessee has enough reputation
for Punic faith, without adding
more. We want to restore, not
further bedraggle her reputation
in the muddy scramble for po-
litical prelerment.

ELSEWHERE we reproduce a
short notice from the Montgom-
cry county journal by which it
will be seen that the project. of
extending the Central and Mont
gomery railroad from Navasota
to Brennan is very favorably
thought of in that locality. If
the road is built to BRENNAN its
importance to the lumber trade
can hardly be over estimated, as
in addition to thelocal demand
the entire territory traversed by
the Santa Fe road is also to be
supplied.

The president in converse
ton with several representa-
tives of Louisiana said it was
mistake to suppose that he fav-
ored the exodus and would ex-
tend government aid in further
ance of it. He expressed no
opinion as to the policy or wis
dom of the present southern ex-
odus. A report has gained
credence on the Mississippi
river, that the government will
furnish transportation. This of
course Is erroneous.
