THE SUIT AGAINST THE Rail-
ROADS.

The she'll for which Gov. Marks
and the present Legislature furnish
ed the ammunition has burst, and
though impossible now to tell upon
whom the fragments will fall for
special evil, it is safe to say that no
good can come TO any part of the
State, or any one in the State, as
an individual or a whole body,
through the suit just instituted by
the bondholderS against the rail-
roads. The blame Of the whole
matter rests upon a portion, and I'M
fortunately a majority, of the Dem
ocratic party. Thelast Legislature
refused compromise Of MY ute
on the dollar. The last Demo rattle
convention decided that The people
alone could settle this question.
Gov. Marks and a majority oS The
Legislature were elected On this
idea, and they have carried 1t
out in their acts. The r
suit is the commencement Of
a suit in the United States
Courts against every railroad OF
prominence in the State TO enforaa
a lien claimed to be conveyed IL
the antc-war bonds ana TO have
sold to pay these bonds. What
good can come from it? None.
1t becomes the people of tn.
State very carefully to consider i:
matter. In the he-t of passion Q.
thoughtlessncss some may say t.
they hope that the bondholdel ma +.
succeed and the present rail {
owners broken up; or others Z :!
say, good; now we'll get rio Of ou'
State debt. But, in the frs, -.
swap the witch FOR the devil, t.
they exchange owners, some al
least of whom are emong us enc
identified by property with cur il
terests, for receivers who VIII repre-
sent interests entirely foreign
whose only thought will be to make
money. Nine out of fifteen of tn,
present Directors of the East Ten
nessee, Va. and Ga. Railroad nov
reside in Tennessee. Then there neeC
not be any. low, about o0e-.hirc
of the stock is owned in East Ten
nessee, and has been paying al
average annual dividend of tire,
per cent; then none will be he!,
here. Nothing could SO shake con
fdence in our State abroad an
among ourselves at home as tn
utter humiliation Of our pTe1en
railroad system, and change of it
ownership for the worse. The rem
edy lies with the people of Iennes
see, let them vote down Reputation
by an overwhelming majority.
The other view of this question
has the sanction of high official pc
sition. Gov. Marks plainly indi-
Gates in his message that the holder
of the ante-war bonds have a liel
on the railroads, and if such len j
enforced that then the Stat,
is free from any obligation
and that the postwar bond
being, in his opinion, illegal
that when the first end i
accomplished, the latter being al
ready a fact, in his opinion, tn
State win be perfectly free from
debt. Was there ever in the worl,

THE GOVERNORS SPECIAL
MESSAGE.

The information given by Gov
enor Marks in his special message,
is intended to show that certain
bonds Of the State were issued
f,audulentIy, and therefore ought to
be repudiated. But it does not
require a very careful reading of
this message to see the utter fallacy
of his position and that what he
claims is without foundation. e
states that on the It'll day of No
vember, 1867, Joseph A. Mabry
was elected President of the Knox
vile and Kentucky Railroad Com
pany, "but his official term was not
to begin until the LIST day of Janu-
airy following" He goes on to re-
cite the passage of a resolution
by the Board of Directors of that
road, authorizing the incoming
President to take such steps as he
might deem necessary to secrro
further State aid. He then quotes
a. length, a deposition of F..
j. Sanford, upon which he relies
tt prove that $4,000 was ex-
pended to secure an appropriation
upon which bonds were fraudulent
issued, and therefore, ought to be
repudiated. The last appropriation
made by the Legislature, for bonds
in aid of railroads, was made in Dc.
cember, 1857, before Gen. Lc5:.y
became President cS tie Kao1UUe
and kentucky Road, as appears
from the Governors own statement
BIr. Sanford's deposition related to
4 subsequent attempt, year later,
to obtain State cid, which attemp.
was unsuccessful. When this ex-
penditure Of $4,000 was made,
about which Mr.. Sanford testified,
the Legislature refused to pass the
Omnibus bill of which the Governor
speaks, and consequently no bonds
were issued. The Governor, in bis
special message, blends these two
transactions together, either inten-
tionally or by accident, in a way
to deceive and mislead the public
mind as to the real truth. He fails
to show that the passage of the last
act granting aid to the Knoxville
and Kentucky Road was before Mr.
Mabry became President, and tina
at the time the $4,000 was ex
pended, the 6iU before the Legi8Za
tire failed, This is an importan
suppression of the truth, and on,
or two paragraphs in the messag
make it appear as if it were inten
tional. For instance, he says:
"On the 2lst day OF November. 1867
the .ompious bill, granting thrs
millions in bonds to the insolven
roads was pending Ia the Senate, +" etc
And in the third paragraph be
low, he adds:
"In carrying out the conspiracy
there was used S2s 600, the proceeds Q
State bonds, sold at large discount.

captain under Hampton in the
Hampton Legion, in the civil war.

ter Hampton and others were
wounded, Gary took command and
captured Ricketts, battery. His
distinguished gallantry won the
applause Of the Legion, the Con-
federate army and the Southern
people. Subsequently he is said to
have resented Hampton's attempt
to promote one Of his favorite Off
GERS oye, him as Major, with the
declaration that he bad stood the

to investigate the charge of bribery and

Indignation that the confidential adviser
Of the Governor permitted his Office to
be used as rendezvous by Kemble and
his corrupt agents for the purpose of de-
bauching the Legislature. OF course
the yirtuous Mr. Quay knew all about
the business that Kemble and his gang
were prosecuting right under his nose,
and must share the odium and disgrace
attached to it. When Quay resigned
the Philadelphia Recordership and ac-
cepted his present position, it was said
that he would take upon himself the
task of engineering the riot bill through
the Legislature. for which he was to be
most literally rewarded. What was

fact now. In as much, however, as he
