REASONS FOR SUPPORTING
THE COMPROMISE.

From the Nashville american 0! the
25th inst, We clip the following ad-
mirable reS1n1e OF The principal rea-
SONS why the SOD compromise should
be supported
In examining the State debt settlement
no reason can be found for opposing, ex-
cept simply that by opposing We pay moth
ing for this year and the next. That sort
Of reasoning is incom prehensi5le which
caves a debt which can be cOmpro-
missed, relieving the people Of one-third
tor all the future, still standing, a bone of
contention in politics, a certain burden in
the future to be paid in a much larger pro-
portion than the rate of the present settle
ment. We can understand why desperate
politicians, who have been playing q shall
low game between the two parties, should
oppose II. Anything to embarrass the PeO-
pie, to create confusion, to produce a state
Of affairs where something may be grasped
in the melee, is the motive there but this
promises the people of the State nothing
but to be cats paws for shrewd adventur-
ers, cats paws for that portion of the bond
holders who are playing for higher stakes,
bearers of burdens for others, with no adj
vantage 20 themselves.
The reasons for the support of this prop
osition are numerous, powerful and cogent.
After long, tedious struggle for ten years,
at last under the most favorable possible
circumstances, a Legislature, where the
utmost strength of the low-tax element was
exhibited, secured all they have ever de-
manded and the most favorable terms that
can ever be secured. If this is voted down,
the debt is left precisely where it was, to
be the subject of further political strug-
giles with conditions daily growing more
unfayorable fer settlement on low terms.
We believe this settlement is now the best
for al parties. We have always been de-
siroUs of securing the lowest terms consis-
tent with honor and justice, and we sup
port this settlement heartily because it
now meets the views of all who hold the
honor ana the material interests of Ten
nessee above everything else We believe
it is the very best that can be done. and we
are sure that no terms more favorable to
the State will ever be secured.
at is means of evadiug dangerous
questions in the future. The attitude of the
Federal Courts toward the States, sug-
gested in thespeech Of Col. Colyar, is o3e
as yet undetermined The case cited of
Osborn VS.. the United States Bank is a
precedent which, in future cases, may be
