He then argued that it would be
better for the State to pay all the debt
than to repudiate any part of it, He
contrasted her condition with that of
other States, and showed that com

interest upon the debt until the State
was able to gradually extinguish the
principal.

INTERNAL REVENUE

The total receipts of internal reve-
nue. from June 30 to September 30,
the first quarter Of the current fiscal
year, were $29, 4O5, 1874, which is an in
crease of Sl7Ol92 over the receipts
for the corresponding period of last
year. This slight increase for the
quarter was due to the increase of re-
ceipts for the month just ended over
those Of the two preceding months,
otherwise there would have been a
decrease for this quarter. The re-
duction of the tobacco tax is a steady
loss to the government of about
100000 month, although the great
ly increased receipts from the tax on
spirits and other things have offset
this loss and enabled the department
to hold its own with SO slight an in
crease over last years figures. The
decrease on snuff and manufactured
tobacco for the two months ending
August 3lst last, as compared with
the corresponding period of last year,
was 81 1868, ,492, while the increase in
receipts from the gallon tax on dis
titled spirits and beer for the same
period was $1,2O6,6l5 80. How long
these increased receipts of the spirit
tax will continue cannot be estimated,
but it is believed at the department
that the increase will be sufficient
during the entire year to Offset about
two-thirds of the loss from the re-
duced tobacco tax. Had congress
seen fit not to meddle with the tobac
co tax law, the total receipts for the
year 1880 would have been greatly in
excess of those'of last year. As it is,
the department officials anticipate a
decrease in the receipts for the cur
rent year of between three and FIVE
millions, even though the tax on spir-
its should continue to increase.

and that would properly be referable
to the chancellor of Shelby county,
the Hon. W. w. Mcdowell. The
nullity or validity of Judge Galloway's
fiat must at last be decided by Judge
Mcdowell, and the dispatch sent by
Judge Wright to the Nashville Ban
ner misled the people there as to the
facts in the case. Judge Livingston
comedies that Judge Galloway was a
legal judge. If so, and if by the stat
utes he has the same powers while
sitting as the regular judge, why could
he not issue the fat he has issued? If
as Judge Livingston intimates, it was
because he could only use such pow
ers in trying matters before him as
was necessary, then let it be under
stood that the application before
Judge Galloway was solemnly argued
in court and the fat there granted.
The next move against the board of
health authorities here will doubtless
be motion for contempt, they having
laid themselves liable to such a
charge by altering their rules and
regulations while they were before
the courts, and for no other apparent
purpose than to eyade the courts or
ders.

Middle Parks. On the 9th of July
Commissioner Hayt telegraphed Gov.
Pitkin that the war department had
been requested to send troops to bring
the Utes back to their reservation.
On July Z orders were sent to Agent
Meeker to take immediate steps to
secure the return of the Indians to
their reservation, and that under the
direction of the secretary of the inte-
rior he was authorized to call on the
military forces for assistance, if he
found such aid necessary.
The earliest report on this question
received from the war departmentwas
on August 10, and its general tenor
was more calculated TO produce an
impression that the trouble had been
overestimated by the Indian bureau
than to suggest impending dangers of
a serious outbreak. 1t was we'll
known by the bureau that the Indi-
ans had aroused the ire Of the settlers
in many instances by the destruction
Of their property by fires kindled to
drive game to some particular spot,
and that serious threats had been
made. A communication from the
war office, received August 10, con-
tanned number Of reports which ex-
onerated the Indians, and stated that
though they had killed large guam
tity of game, it was not believed that
they had kindled forest fires. In face
of these statements, however, the
commissioner received a letter from
j. b. Thompson, who resides some
where in the vicinity of Middle Park
stating that the Utes were burning
timber end property near him, and
threatening to burn his property.
Again, on August 10, Thompson com
planned of further depredations, and
advised the department that he pro-
posed to ascertain if these Indians
were not amenable to State laws. 1t
is stated that Thompson was advised
that the State courts had no jurisdic-
tiOn in the reservation, but an effort
would be made to secure Identified
tion and arrest of the Indians, in
which event they would be turned
over to the civil authorities for pun
ishment. Instructions to this end
were sent to Agent Meeker. 1t is
known that Thompson, with the sher-
if and posse, went to the agency to
make arrests, but could not find the
Indians complained of. Subsequently
another communication was received
from Thompson, in which he com
planned of the view taken Of the dam
age done to his property by the Indiar
bureau. His letter closed with the
following significant language
Unless the department takes i'm
mediate steps to punish the Indians
who have destroyed my property anC
attempted to burn my house, | viii
take such steps in the matter as viii
attract immediate attention
1t is believed that the efforts o
Thompson and other settlers to secur
the punishment of these Indians wal
the prime cause of the outbreak %hicl
the Indian department and war Office
had used the utmost exertions to pre-
vent.

A SET BACK.

The State hoard of health received
a slight shock or set back before
Chancellor Livingston's court at
Brownsville, Tenn, on Saturday last.
The court declined to grant an in
junction applied for in effect to set
aside another injunction issued by
Judge Galloway here to restrain the
board of health officials from inter
fering with. the admittance of seed
cotton into this city. Judge Living
ston is reported to be a wise and a
very conscientious judge. He could
not find any law to sanction the re-
quests Of the applicants, hence he re.
fused to issue, and so the fat of
Judge Galloway stands until it can be
heard on its merits by Chancellor Nc
Dowell. To those not fully versed in
the technicalities of the law it would
seem that Judge Livingston went a
little out Of his way when he inter.
larded his refusal for an injunction
with his legal opinion about Judge
Galloway's fat, and his opinion so pro-
mulgated is worth no more than
would be that of any other practicing
lawyer. 1t was not a point in judg-
ment and not at all necessary, hence
totally superAuous, and several law
yers here express their surprise that
he should have numbered his refusal
to issue with this extraneous matter,
unless it was thrown in as
sort of sop to Judge Archi-
bald Wright, the counsel for the
State board who hung closely
about Judge Livingston for three
days, doubtless pressing his most ex-
traordinary application. The injunc-
tion was refused because there we're
no grounds for its issuance, and be-
cause the judge had no right to grant
an injunction against another injunc-
tion pending in the same court. The
judge states that the case in his mind
could only be properly decided on a
motion for dissolution of injunction,

JONESBORO CENTENNIAL.
The Postmaster General Makes a Few
Remarks on the State Debt.
Cincinnati Commereinl speeinI.l

Cincinnati Commercial Special.l
JoNEsBORo, Tenn, October 3.-At
the centennial celebration here to-day
Postmaster General Key spoke about
half an hour. He opened by referring
to the fact that he felt very much at
home in JOnesboro, as his father, his
mother and himself were all born in
the adjacent county of Greene, and
that its soil contains the remains of
two generations of his ancestors.
Referring to the most vital question
now before the people of Tennessee
the State debt-he said. 81 cast no
reflections upon the honesty of our
people. / believe that Tennesseeans
are as honest as other men. But do
say that he who thinks our State
would be justifable in repudiating
the bonds which have been issued by
its officers under laws enacted by our
legislators, has such want of discrim-
nation between right and wrong as to
disqualify him for being a safe cuslo-
dian Of public trusts. Public faith
and public honor are not safe in his
keeping. His knowledge of the bound
ary line between good faith and bad
faith is too much involved in confu-
sion and uncertainty to make him a
fit instrument to determine what be-
longs to the public and what to indi-
yiduals.
" | believe none of the political
parties Of our State have, in their
platforms, advocated reputation. We
have had some very shabby and rick
ETY. platform building, which allowed
great elasticity of conscience and con-
struction of opinion, but upon its
face it purported to sustain the honor
Of the State. In our next election
the question of State honor should be
made the test Of an orthodox political
faith. 1t rises far above the mere
partyisms Of the day. For myself, |
am free to say that, in future elections,
| shall not act with any party which
shall not, in its declaration of princi-
pies, in clear, unmistakable and une-
quivocal terms, take ground in favor of
such policy and measures as shall
maintain the honor and good name of
the State. If neither party has the
courage and patriotism necessary to
wage a contest in favor of such policy,
then it seems to me that the men of
all parties opposed to reputation
should band together and make this
the paramount issue until its final set
tlement shall be accomplished. | hope
there may be no necessity for such a
course. No one will be more gratifed
than l if all parties shall unite and
cooperate in the honorable settlement
of the question. But | fear there is
little ground to expect so desirable a
result"
Judge Key here quoted at length
from statistics to prove the ability OF
Tennessee to pay her debt, and con
tinued
But it is said that we lost so much
by the war that we can not afford to
pay it. Grant thai our losses were
great, and they certainly we're, it was
as much our fault as that of any one
else. l speak as a Southern man to
Southern men. We voluntarily en-.
gagged in the fight, and did all we could
