The race for the championship of the National

The Albanys still hold the lead. but they
closely pressed that the gap between them and the
least Of their competitors is only three games The
race was never before 30 well equalzed. The re-
suit of each game during the coming week is liable
to make serious change in the positions

An attempt is made to palliato tho brutnl
murder Of Capt. DIXON by the transmission
over tho telegraph wires, along with tho re-
port Of the murder, of n most malicious and
contemplate attack upon tho character Of
the dend man. Up to tho time of bis ilenti-
ticntion with the Independent movement
Capt. Dixon was one Of tho waathiest md
most prominent Democrats of Yaxoo County,
n man foremost in their councils, aud Of tho
highest Standing in his pnrty; and 1t was
not until ho availed himself Of tho inalion-
nblo right TO tako part in movement
and organization which throatoned the
solidisy md supremacy Of tho Democratic
party in TINT county that tho discovery WIS
made, "by a Committee" that Capt. DIXON
was "a tlctestnblo monster" and "not fit,
In any sense, to hold auy Office Of honor,
profit, or trust" etc. Tho "Committeo
further declared that ho ahould not hold any
such Office in Yazoo County If they could
help 1t by amy mcnns whatsoever, md, in proof
OF the carnestness Of this determination,
ratified and confirmed tho action Of the Yazoo
City mob which compelled Cnpt. Dt1os to
withdraw from tho canvass on pain
Of suffering violent death at the
hands of tho regularly organized Domoc-
raoy. BARKaDA1E mny havo been d
member of tho Committee which issued this
address. He cortainly "ratifled and con-
hrinod 1t at the earliest possible moment by
filling Capt. Dnos's body with buckshos,
mud thus forever placing it beyond n posi-
bility that he should ovor hold nny Office Of
honor, profit, OF trust in Ynzoo County.

The "0entiles" at Salt Lake represent
that the feeling In TINT Territory growing
out Of the prosecutions Of the btormons has
become one of intense bitterness, This Ia
probably true, and It ia also probably true
that tho feeling ia a. bitter on ono side as on
the other. Tho further representation tint
tho hlormons propose to take the war-patA
and put tho United States ut defiance Is
probably an oxaggcration. The last Mormon
war-more than twenty ycars ago-cost the
United States several millions Of dollars,
without any real necessity. We are INSURED
by gentleman now In Chicago, who lives
In that country, that there Ia not the slight
est foundation in taot for tie outgiying TINT
the MoEmons intend or even think OF declar-
ing war agaiust tue United States. Thy are
not fools; they arc intelligent and prudent
men, and they know full well tho conse-
quenecs Of any such proceeding.

IS TENNESSEE A REpup1Ar1Na STATE

IS TENNESSEE A REpUDIATING sTATEf
There has boon much comment fu tho
Eastern papers concerning tho recent vote
by tho people of tho State Of Tennessee OIL n
proposition submitted by the Legislature,
offering to compromise tho State debt at
rate Of 60 cents on the dollar. The reioc-
tiou of this scheme by tho people is general
ly regarded na IN evidence Of popular de-
siro to ropu1iaso tho dobt altogether. Tho
State debt now amountB,-principal, So0,-
291, 900; interest duo md unpaid, $i,l5G.-
600. This stntomeut Of tho dobt is rs racog-
nizod by tho State under funding law Of
1877. Tho Legislature at the last session
offered to fluid this debt, at the ratio Of 10
cents on tho dollar, in | per cent bonds, lay-
ing thirty yoara to run, this ofror to bo
subject to tho approval Of the people Mt an
election TO be held. Attlis election about one
half tho ordinary number Of voters votod, md
Of these q majority voted against tho o1or,
which was rejocted. Loss tlsnn ono-third
Of tho voters Of tho State, therefore, rejeHesl
the proposition. It docs not follow TINT
even all thoso wero repudiatora. The debt
OF the Stats is somewhat complicated. Most
Of tile dubt oxiBtinR before tho WAR was il-
Cured in system OF internal improvements
begun in 1852, when tho Stata loaned ita
credit to various railroad companies TO snnblo
thom to finish and equip their works. Tho
process was for the Htato to issue Its boutla
to the companies, and for the companies to
negotiate the bonds and ,lse the proceeds.
Dotweon 1859 and 1869 this syatom OF
State aid was extonded to other railroads.
Tho original bonds wore by law mado a lion
on tho railroads aided. In 18G9 tho policy
OF tho State was changed. Tho debt had
then becolne enormous, renchlug, with acc.1.

were in consultation with the Legislature Of
Tennessee; they refusal to accept tho recent
offer Of 10 cents on the dollnr, ana They gave
all their efforts nj tho tato election TO tcfeRt

III t.e meantime, The holders Of tleso

eral railroad companies 10 wl,ic1. tho Slate

they wero issued =; tint this lieu was 10 70:
c.,re The payment Of these specific honda,
mud WAS n lien 10 protect tho purchasers mud

On tho other hand, lilo railroad companies
claim that tho lien was marefy 10 protect Tie
State ngainst loss, ansr that wlloii they paid
ovor to tho State other credits equal in
amount they thereby discharged any lien
upon their property growing ont Of their
indebtedness to tho State. Tho bondholders
claim that tho lion was to ray Tho specific
debt, md could nat bo discharged by tho
surrender to the State Of other bonds.
These bondholtlcrs have, therefore, instf-
tuted suits against Tho railroad companies to
enforce tho specific lien given by tho net Of
1862 upon their property. This proceeding
Inns boom taken upon lhe opinion Of 1Ir.
CHARLES O'CosoE tl,at tho lion exists mud
can DO legally enforced. Tho railroad com.
panies are in a prosperous condition, md II
these suits be sustained by tho Courts the
amount of this portion Of the State debt will
lo transferred from tho State to tho railroad
companies. THE creditors preferred, psoba-
lily, tho chance OF getting 100 centR from tho
railroads to 10 coi,ta from the stnto.
This complication in tho oifairs Of Ten
nessoa llas another feature. In 1869, when
theao bonds woro issued, tho State law
authorized any person 10 sue The Ssate, AZ

q,ontly, in 1870, this privilege to suo the

tho fishery question. It does not attempt,
rs the Canadian papors do, to conceal its
anxiety. under a mask of Indifference. It
docs not take for granted tho justice Of the
award, nor insist upon tho impossibility Of
rsconsidoring tbs question in any Of its
aspects There Is no conceaiing tho fact
that tho proposition Of our Government to
abrogato the fisllory c1nuses of tho Troaty of
Washington has produced 0 profound i'm
preston both in Cannda and Grcat Britain.
Tho ayowed intention of our Government 10
rolinquish Its rights under tho Halifa1 ver-
dict shows, first Of NIL, how much in earnest
we aro in protesting against tho results Of
the arbitration. We believe, aud hnve at last
convinced Great Britain Of tic earnostness
Of our belief, that the privileges accorded
10 Canada under The Treaty Of Washington
wcro moro valuable than those seourod to
the United Htatea by tint instrument. We
think tho Canadians were moro benefited by
the right to sond tholr fist, duty-froo into tho
United States than ws wero by the privilege
of fishing within the throc-miles limit; md
wo intend to annul tho arrangement, al-
though va have alroady paid for the privi-
lego Of keeping 1t up Ave aud one-haif ycnrs
longer, II we choose.
The arguments which hnve bcon used both
in Grent Britain and Canatla to induce the
United States to continue the present ar-
rnngement amount to confession of the in-
Justice Of tho Halifax award. If the United
States wero justly ,nuloted in S5,500.o00
damages, what can be the objection to our
~1f fr~nfvofnry Tim n11oro1
"privlogos" it SECURES MS? The treaty
provides for such n termination Of tho
fishery clansos on notioo being given. This
result must have boon contemplated
by tho representatives Of both parties
whom tho treaty was signed. We
boliovo, indeed, tho qualifying clause was
inserkol at tho instance Of tho Dominion
Government. It Is clear that our Govern
mont is keeping strictly within tho terms of
tho agreement in giving notice Of tormina-
| tion. It il clenr also that tho Canadian and
Dritish press aro concerning themselves uu-
duly In our aifairs, or confossiug tho error
Of tho Halifax Commission, when they Gu
| troat the United States Govarnnent not to
| draw out Of the arrangement. Unloss Can
ala is to bo injurod by tho froe gift OF
money indemnity from the United States for
five aud half years. Ashing which wo do
| not want, this former country has no Cause
| to complain. II Canada ia inturod by tho
| termination of tho treaty and tho forfeiture
| United States, tho Halifax Commission
grossly erred. Tho Commission decided
TINT tho privileges accorded to Canala under
