State debt should be made until it shall have been
judicially determined whether the holders of bonds
issued prior to the have lien the rail-
roads FOR the construction of which they were

authorized the building OF railroads by
money to be raised by the issue of bonds by
the companies. Endorsed by the State. Under this
act all the roads in the State built including the
pioneer road, the Nashville and Chattanooga Rail-
road. Many OF the roads were bankruptcd by the
war. and for years after struggled along, many of
them being from time to time III the hands OF re-
cevcrs The issuance of bonds was also begun anew
by the republican State governments. Some
frauds were charged some committed, and the post
war or Brownlow bonds were all negotiated directly
or indirectly, figures lower than required by

1869 the Legislature then elected enacted law for

churches were invited to occupy seats on the plat
form and assured that they would hear nothing

by Mayor Cameron, and several prominent citizens
were on the stage of the Academy of Music where
the lecture was delivered. Many Professionals who
were present thought that the lecture Sc
verely attacked the principles and leaders
of the reformation. especially Calvin. and last
night the Rev. Thomas Spencer. Of the Episcopal
Church. replied to this lecture The Rev. DIR.
Witherspoon of the Presbyterian Church, stated
from his pulpit that the lecture cunning sell
upon community. and that if he had been present
he would have hurled back the abuse that the Bishop
poured on the Protestants. Dr. Mcdonald, of the
Baptist Church. native Of Ireland, and formerly
Catholic. is to tell how he changed his religion, and

There Is considerable feeling on the subject and
