According to tho report of the Sec

three hundred millions moro this year
than last. But you must remember
that this is the of year in politics and
the Radical administration don't care

THE DEBT QUESTION ~ TENNESSEE

A LIGHT VOTE OK THE COMPROMISE ACT-A MA
JoRIrY OF ABOUT $4,000 AGAINST IA.
NASHVILLE, Aug. S.-There was light vote all
over the State yesterday the proposition To
promise the State debt at 80 cents on the dollar
with per cent interest. Probably not one-haf
the average vote was pollel. Meagre returns from
West Tennessee, including the Nashville and Men,
phis districts show majority against the proposed
settlement of $500. Davidson County. with
Nashville and Edgeville and twelve civil districts,
gives 400 majority for acceptance. The ndics-
lions that the proposition has been defeated
unless East Tennessee has given large majority
for acceptance. The City of Knoxville gives 900
majority for acceptance.
Ldta-AdditiOnal returns indicate that the debt
proposition will be rejected by not less than 900
majority. Party lines were not regarded in the
contest. The Republicans In the eastern part ot
the State voted almost solidly IN favor Of the conn
promise, while most OF those in the middle and
western sections went against It. The Demo-
Gratis were also generally divided on the question
Many men Of both parties voted for rejection ON
the ground that the proposition was merely modi-
fed form of reputation.

EFFECT OF THE DECISION.

The news of Justice WestbrOoks decision
reached New-York in All authentic shape at a very
late hour last night though rumors that such de-
cision had been made were current in
the evening. 1t was said by lawyers who
were consulted on tins subject that the decision of
Justice Westbrook, if sustained on the return of
the writ would cover the cases of Commissioners
Erhardt and Smith, and that the reinstatement of
the three Commissioners will follow as a matter of
course.
Police Commissioners Nichols, Smith and Erhardt
appeared before Mayor Cooper on March 10, in
response to summonses, to answer the charges pre-
ferred against them. The Mayor declined to
hear counsel and when General Smiths counsel
persisted in speaking. the Mayor became greatly
excited and ordered the police to remove them from
tie rOom All the Commissioners declined
to answer the Mayors questions and de-
handed specifications of the charges, with
the evidence they We're based on. The
Mayor allowed ench Commissioner twenty-four
hours TO file papers before the case should be
closed. This the Commissioners refused TO do,
and the papers for their removal were pre-
pared and forwarded TO Albany. On April Is the
Governor Issued an order confirming the action of
the Mayor as TO Commissioner Nichols, and the
Mayor Immediately appointed Charles I. MacLean
to succeed him.
On August l. the Mayors action against Commits
Ei0uer Wheeler having been checked by the courts,
the Governor removed General Smith. and issued a
document IN which he reviewed the case at length,
ard defended the course of the Mayor In regard to
oil the three accused officers.
