The house of Representatives in the
late Legislature was composed of II re-
puhlicans and IL democrats, the former
party having a good working major
ity. During the session Il bill was
framed by certain republicans at the
capital to reduce the salary of the
prosecuting attorney of this district
10 about one-third of what that officer
gets in the other two districts. This
bill was advocated by certain men be-
lOngingto what is known as the ''cap
ital ring" working through the lobby
and the one republican member of the
house from the river counties, and
was designed as wicked and malic-
Gus cut at the present incumbent of
that Office, and Il slur upon the people
who elected him. Upon the appear
ance of this bill in the house, repre-
sentative shaw. followed 10y the dem
ocratic delegation in the house from
this district, vigorously opposed and
defeated the bill. They were in favor
Of economy and rctronchment when
done in the right spirit and for ju~ti-
fable motives, but Notwithstanding
their desire to reduce salaries and 9th
erwi-e economist with the peoples
money they could not support this
measure. In view of the fact that
they are democrats, and We're anxious
to foster economy, that the bill was
urged 10y republicans who would have

5le house Is republican to whom the
blame would attach if any resulted
from lie adoption Of the bill, it is GER
tainly unusual and out of the regular
line of party politics that these demo-
Gratis should have opposed the bill.
Their opposition is evidence Of two
lLings-first, that they are tairmnded

SOCIALISM, according to the st. Peters

atoms that provoked war. The cost to
humanity has been 174S,000 lives, to

THE STATE DEBT.
Ju dge Clapp's Able Review Of the
Majority Report on the
Subject.
To the Law and to the Testimony.
A Calm and StateSmanlike View
Of the Binding Force of
Legal Obligations.
To the Law and to the Testimony.

The following is the full text of the re-
port laid before the Senate, by the minori-
ty Of the joint committee appointed to in
vestigate the validity of the State debt:
Mr.. SPEAKER: tits matter of unfeigned
regret with me that upon a subject of such
profound and, way say, painful, concern
to the public. both within and outside of our
Slate, the Joint committee appointed by the
two houses of the General Assembly to in
vestigate the alleged Indebtedness of the
State could not be unanimous in their re-
port, and l had hoped that | might be able
to give at least a qualified assent to the
conclusions reached by the majority of the
committee. Upon examination, however,
of the report, | find our views so divergent
upon material points that, at the risk Of in
curing the imputatiOn of egOtism and fac
tiOusness, | feel constrained to submit a mi
nOrity report, and it is due alike to the ma
iOIity Of the committee and myself that
upon so grave a question the grounds Of my
dissent should be fully and fairly stated.
An objection to the report that lies
on the Threshold Is as to the
vague and indefinite manner in
which the committee undertake TO classify
and characterize the different items of our
Indebtedness. "The State debt proper" as
it is termed, consists of bonds issued for
the stock Of the State in turnpike companies,
in railroads and banks, for the construction
of the capitol, for the purchase Of the
Hermitage and to the Agricultural Bureau.
These bonds were issued under different
acts, ranging in point of time from 1882 to
1860, and constituted an aggregate of 6,48I,
amounting to sl6,48l 900, and of these
there are now outstanding 2,lO5 bonds,
amounting to $2,IO5,OOO, as stated by the
committee. Deducting this from the total
outstanding bonds, amounting to sd, 0l0,-
800, It leaves 1898 bonds, amounting
to SIS, 903,000, which were issued before
and since the war, in aid of railroads I'M
der various acts ranging from Jan. 80,
1850, to 1873. The report further states
that Of what are called railroad bonds there
are now outstanding S8,633,O0 issued be-
fore the war, S2,638, 900 since, and of that
the item of Sl8,953,OO is made up as
follows:
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1879-03-09
SIS.Q53LOOO-

leaving balance, S2,Oj7,30O, and of the
above items the first two, amounting to
$ll,27l 900, are railroad bonds issued
under the internal improvement act of Feb.
Il, 1852, and its amendments, which, as
the committee say, IF a charge at all
against the State are so secOndarily.
The committee then assume that the
bonds issued subsequent to the war under
the act of 1866, were illegally issued under
a mistake of law or criminal ignorance, and
that the bonds issued under the acts of 1868
and 1873, so far as they represent bonds not
legally issued, interest suspended or interest
on past due bonds and coupons, were also
illegally issued and constituted no obiga-
ton upon the State. The committee admit
that it is impossible to identify the exact
bond or bonds outstanding of those issued
under the funding act Of 1866 or 1873, into
which interest on railroad bonds accruing
during the war or since 1866 entered, from
the fact that until the present Comptroller
came into Office no account showing it was
kept. From this sitting of the report of the
committee the inference seems to be that
after deducting the $ll, 27l 900 outstanding
railroad bonds and the bonds issued under
the funding act Of 1866, 1868 and 1873.
there remain but S2,05l 900 of the total
outstanding liabilities of $2l,OlO.3OO. that
are not disputed; that for $ll,27I 900 the
State is only secondarily liable if liable at
all, and for the remaining $7,6SS, 300 no
liability whatever is admitted. As all of
these bonds are upon their face the most
solemn evidence Of debt, being sealed ne
gotiable instruments, they must be regarded
as constituting a prima .tdcie liability on
the part of the State, and throw the burden
upon her to invalidate the bonds or make
some other legal defense that will exempt
her. The question of Indebtedness is one
Of law and fact, to be iudicially determined,
and the well recognized doctrine is that the
same rules of evidence and principles of
law are applicable upon a State as
a party as in a contract between individ-
uals, and whilst a citation of legal
is not usual, perhaps, in a com
mittee report, the nature of the matter
under consideration and its importance is
such as to render it proper that l shall
refer to the authorities sustaining the posi-
ions l assume and quote the language
when necessary, as this is not profession
