WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The
meeting of the Senate Privileges
and Elections Committee, which was
called for the purpose of acting on
the Corbin-Butler contest to-day,
did not take place, there being less
than a quorum present. None of
the Democratic members of the
committee were present en- account
of party cancus on Mr.. Edmunds'
resolution.
The Democratic Senators held
a caucus this morning to consider
what course to pursue on the reso-
luton of Senator Edmunds, now
in the Senate, in relation
to the enforcement Of the Thir-
teenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments, and to protect all
citizens in exercise of all rights Sc
cured by laws passed for that pur-
pose, &C. The Democratic Senators
agreed upon a substitute for the

when it shall be taken up for con-
sideration in the Senate. While IN

Amendments to the Constitution to be
of binding force and validity,
they regard Senator Edmund's res
olution as proposing legislative ac-
ton in conflict with the decisions
of the Supreme Court of the
United States, particularly in the
Crinkshank case, Regarding these
amendments they quote from the
Dieta of the Court to sustain the
ground which will be taken in the
substitute that the United States
have no citizens distinctly their own,
that the Constitution does not con-
fer the right to vote on any one,
but simply confers the privilege
of freedom from any discrimina-
ton on account of race, color or
previous condition, and that the
regulation of suffrage belongs ex
clusiYely to the several States.

Gov. MARKS has plainly recon-
mended the reputation of the greater
portion of the bonded debt of the
State OF Tennessee, and in accord with
his views, Mr.. Savage has introduced
q bill into the Senate to submit TO the
people the question of compromise or
reputation. His bill proposes three
alternatives, and that the tickets shall
be inscribed Fifty Cents, "OLe
Third" and " Nothing" Either must
receive a majority of all the votes cast
to be final, but the language OF the
bill combines the two last against the
first. 1t does this by saying that If
lone Third or Nothing do not
receive a majority of the votes cast,
that "the next General Assembly
shall adopt so much of the two as shall
appear most in accord with the wishes
of the people," That is, If Nothing"
receive two-thirds of 100 900 votes and
"One-third a third, then the debt
shall be compromised at one-third of
one-third Of the amount. Plainly,
if the debt is S24 OOO,O one
third would be S., 900. .OC0, and
under Mr.. Savage's plan, and a
vote as above, the next General AS.
sembly would offer the bondhOlders of
the State one-third of IS. 600 600. being
about 8. .666, 900. From the character
of the Legislature, as indicated by its
acts so far, there is little doubt but the
bill will pass and become law, however
devoid of truth may be its allegations
and Of honesty and good faith its con-
sequences.
WIN the passage of this law and the
consequent virtual repudiation Of the
State debt benefit either rich or poor ?
Every sensible man knows
that it will ruin our good
name abroad; that it will COM
mence an era OF distrust at home. that
it will end in attempted reputation
Of city, county, town and private in.
debtedness, which will paralyze in.
dustry and set back our State in civ.
ilization and progress. 1t would be

Col. r. K. BYRD, Of ROane county,
Senator from the Cumberland Noun
tain District, doesn't believe in repu-
diatiOn, and in the debate on Satur-
day thus expressed himself, which, if
not elegsnt, is certainly forcible and to
the point. Mr.. Byrd said he felt deep
Iy what he said on this subject. He
would rather have his arm severed
from his body than see the repudia-
tion OF the debt, with the ruin that
you'd ensue. He hoped the day
would never come when posterity,
passing his grave, would point the
finger of scoTn and say, There lies a
id old repudiationist." He wanted
to record himself Jeffersoniau Demo-
crat, and his view of the obligation of
his office would prevent him from
voting to refer this question to pOpu-
lar vote.

the "gold buys,' and the bloatsd bondhold-
ers."
II the people pay in good faith as soon as
they can and as far as they can, their notes be-
come good, and holders are glad to keep them.
Resumption does not abolish United States
notes. 1t was an absurd notion that resump-
ton was scheme OF the ''gold bugs TO force
everybody to get actual coin for payments.
Every creditor ID content with paper that Is
as good as gold. In no way under the sun was
it possible to get gold enough to take the place
OF all our paper. But it was possible, and has
been infinitely cheaper than any other way of
escape from our troubles, to make ali our paper
as good as gold. Great Britain keeps paper
notes in use, because II pays gold on demand
France uses notes as generally as ever, because
it has resumed specie payments. Before the
war tins country had paper notes in general
use, without any act making them a legal
tender, for any man could get gold for notes
at WILL A great volume of notes now remains
in use, not In spite of resumption but because
OF it-because every man can get bis notes paid
If he wishes Hence no contraction o, the
paper currency Is caused. Everybody prefers
10 use notes, it they are good, instead of coin.
II people should wish to use coin instead of
notes, there would be no contraction OF the
in place OF every note returned to
he Treasury, coin would go into use The {
Inference between resumption and suspension ,
u bankruptcy is not at all IN the quantity of I
totes ahoat, but in the quality. Suspension G
makes them bad, for the holder OF note t
nows that he can get for it only what some 0
ne else may be obliged TO give Resumption il
'akes them good, and gives the people cur b
ency which cheats no man, because every n
older knows that be can always get the gold Ii
,r hls notes il he wants it, q
