bear, making them that much less
able to improve their condition and
give cheap and good facilities OF
transportation. From the Comp
troller's report we also gather that
the University holds 397 bonds
of 1000 each, and, of these, 254
are of the issues since the war,
which he declares are illegal and
should be repudiated. Their repu-
diation would leave the University
with fund of $4,000; thus Grip
ping its usefulness and rendering it
impossible for the institution to
give fee tuition, as provided under
the law.
By further reference to the
Comptroller's report, we learn that
there were issued in 1866,
81 and '68, 22,344 bonds, of
1000 each, all OF which are classed
as illegal by Gov. Marks. Of these,
16,44O were paid in to the Comp
troller under the act of 1869-70.
OF the "new series funding bonds
issued under act of 1873, 1874
have already been paid in to the
Comptroller under the Railroad
Act of 1869-7O. The Comp
troller's report for January
LIST, 1877, states that S3,1S7, $40 was
at that time due from solvent rail
roads. This amount has all been
paid in in the last two years, the
Comptroller stating that he has
cancelled 3.266 bonds therefor, but
does not state what character Of
bonds were so received and can
celled.
The point, then, is simply this
That a very large part of the
money due the State by the rail
roads for endorsement and for pur~
chase has been paid in post war
bonds, and Gov. Marks says that
these bonds are illegal and that ''no
part of it should be settled now or
hereafter" lie evidently means
that these debts to the State should
have been settled with the bonds
issued to the roads and which
are said to retain lien.
He states that the act of
1869-70 confines the right of
exchange to those bonds illegally
and argues that as such
bonds have been used by the rail
roads to pay their debt to the State,
that the holders of the ante-war
bonds must look to those roads for
their pay. The owners Of the
roads are not likely to give up their
property without a struggle, and
hence long litigation, by the end
of which both are likely to lose, and
Tennessee gains neither wealth nor
good name.

Public Improvement.

Landlord Browne, of the Grand Central Hotel, is making the street in front of the hotel look just as it should be. The grass has been ploughed up-with the exception of stl ip about one rod wide, and the dirt carried to the roadbed to All in where 1t is needed. and now that the work is completed, all must admit that 1t has been decided improvement, not only to the appearance of the hotel but to the street. MT. Henry Sanford intends to do the samo tbing in front of his house, and if all of our citizens were to consent having the road worked the same way, Newtown street would not only look better, but there would be no pools of water every time it rained.

VIEWPOINT, WEDNESDAY,, JUNE
Our Third Volume.

This week we present each of'our sub scriberS the first number of the third volume of the NEwrowN BEE enlarged and improved, and still retain the ex- csedlng low price one dollar and fifty cents per gear. What the pGst of the BER has been is due to those who have given us their hearty support. The peo- pie of Newtown have shown their appro- citation of our efforts and manifested their public spirit by subscribing Hberafly. Some of our friends have taken papers ranging from one to seven copies, and in many other ways demonstrated to us their good will and desire to maintain a paper in their own town. We nave la- bored to make the BEE pleasure to all of its patrons and an ornament to New town. We have endeavored to carry out to the letter, our first proclamation, to be neutral, and our books show that the BEE has place in the homes of all citizens irrespective of political preference or re- lgious faith. We are charged sometimes with being partial, because we do not fro off other peoples ideas on questions which we do not wish to mcddle. Our aim Is to be fair and just to all, and shall enlcavor to conduct this paper in an inn partial spirit. We are not going to take sides on any question just for opinion sake Our mission will be to give the news without expressing any opinion. We be- lieve this to be the best course and shall adhere to it. In closing we leave it for our many patrons to say whether the NRwTowN BEE in it's present form and size, is up to the standard If their eX- pectation, and if it is, they will oblige us by prompt renewal of their subscrip- tion We stated last week that all who desired the paper continued would oblise us by sending word either by letter or postal card. Please remember this as we intend to send papers to only those "s-a notify us before our next issue. Our subscribers out of town are the ones whom we mean more particularly.
