THE FUTURE OF TENNESSEE.

lin a y ORE UT TENN AoC11'
We must confess our inability to
explain the reason of the defeat of
the compromise proposed for the set
Element of the State debt. 1t may
mean that those who are in favor Of
paying the whole debt and those who
are in favor of paying nothing voted
to reject the proposition. 1t is a
question we do not propose to dis
cuss. We think. however, that we
are justified in saying that the whole
of the State Indebtedness can never
be paid. The annual interest Of the
debt amounts to $1,5O0.000. There
can be no doubt but this debt, which
is increasing at the above rate, is the
cause of many persons selling their
homes and moving to other 5 ates.
The great question, then, comes up,
what must the people do to make
the young men, who must soon take
our places, feel that they are not to
be burdeued all their lives, by taxa
ton. for the purpose of paying a debt
they had no agency in creating? We
must not only settle this vexed ques-
ton. at very early day. but we
must bring about a revolution in our
system of taxation that will not i'm
pose an unnecessary tax on our peo-
pie. Any one who will take the
trouble to read the Comptroller's re-
port will find that a very large
amount of taxes is paid out to sup.
port the judiciary. This is not ow-
ing to the salary paid to our Judges,
but to the fact that appeals are taken
in very frivolous cases, cOntinuances
are granted from term TO term of our
courts without sufficient cause, and
just so as to change Of venue. A
change of venue, or two continu'
ances in a criminal case, is almost
equal to a verdict OF aceuital, be-
cause witnesses on the part Of the
State cannot be expected to lose
time and bear their own expenses
? when it is uncertain as to the time
the case will be tried. Hence it is
| that crime escapes punishment and
q the costs are paid by the people
While we can see very great err
rors, we do not profess to be able to
J.. point out a remedy.
, But we do know that we have
, men, in each division OF the State,
! whose age and experience, honesty
3 and ability entitle their opinions to
= very great weight. And we think
= by such men comforting together
they could present to our next legis
lature, not only a way to settle our
State debt that would be acceptable
/ to the people, but could also suggest
alterations in our laws that would
take many burdens from US and give
q brighter future to the State, and
make our young men more content
ed with the home Of their nativity.
With such men as Judge Deaderlck,
of this division Of the State, Judge
Humphreys, of the Middle division,
Judge Sneed. Of the West, and 9th
ers we might name, we have right
to expect that some plan, recon.
mended by men who are not aspir-
ing for political position, will be sub
mitted that will bring about a har.
monious action and restore Tonnes.
: see to its former prosperous condi-
ton.

A late dispatch from Asheville, n. O.,
says that information has reached that
place from Cherokee county to the effect
that several converts had been made in
that county by the disciples of the late

so indignant at this that three of the
women preachers were taken to the
woods by the mountaineers and logged
with hickory switches. Not content
with this, several of the converts were
caught and similar punishment inflicted
upon them. The newly-made and the
carpet-bag Mormous were driven out of
county, and will return at once to Utah.
