THE STATE DEBT.

A committee, representing large
number of the holders of Tennessee
bonds, held a meeting in New York
on the 4th inst, at which a resolu-
ton was adopted recommending that
the proposition of the Legislature to
paw fifty cents on the dollar of the
States Indebtedness be not accept
ed. At the same time, attention
was called to written opinion of
Charles O'COnOr, Esq, to the effect
that the bonds of the State issued in
aid of railroads, under the Internal
Improvement Act of 1852, and Acts
amendatory thereto, were a hrst
lien on the roads that received them,
and that the said roads were liable
to the holders of the bonds for prln'
cipal and interest. 1t IS claimed
that the principal and interest OF the
bonds of that character amount to
$4,000, 1000.
To the holders of the bonds, this
is, as a matter of course, only a
question of dollars and cents
With the people of Tennes-
see it is something more. Ii
ought to be considered from the
standpoint of honorable dealing
between man and man. Acting
upon this view of the case, oul
Legislature ought to have accepted
the proposition of the bondholder'
to compromise at sixty cents on tn
dollar, without a moments hesita
ton. Had this been done we woul'
as a State, have escaped the hu
initiation and disgrace that mus
attach to what is at least a partia
reputation of the debt. Ever.
true friend of Tennessee must fee
a sense of shame, that we have ha
a Legislature before which tn
fifty cents-four-per- cent. propositio
was the very best thing that coul
have been adopted.
But the bondholders, especial
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1879-04-10

those residing outside OF the State,
are governed by no such eonsidera~
tons as this. With them it is pure
ly business transaction, and they |
will pursue whatever course that
will net them the most money. 1t
they believe, under the advice of
Mr.. O'Conner, that they can realize
more out of the railroads than they
can by accepting the compromise
offered by the Legislature, they
will act upon that advice. If
the bondholders are success
full in their suit against
the railroad, the roads will be sold.
They will not bring more than
$15, 100000, the amount for which
they are said to be liable, and the
bondht lders will, in all probability,
have to purchase them, even if they
bring that amount. Then they
must be operated by their new own
ers, and the question is, what will
the net income amount to. Rail-
road property in Tennessee has
never paid large dividends, and we
take it for granted that it has been
, managed with reasonable economy
Only two or three roads IN the
State have paid dividend, and
and these a very small per cent. on
the amount invested. These are
6 questions that the bOndholders will
look at, to say nothing OF the
trouble, uncertainty and expense Of
r litigation. If they conclude that
r they can save more by litigation
, than by accepting the compromise
, agreed upon by the Legislature,
/ they will certainly take that course
Z and no one will blame them. But
4 before doing that, they will Ger
b tainly give the question, in all 1T
! bearings, thorough consideration

CINCINNATI has for years, until
the last municipal and Congressional
election, been a reliable Democratic
city. An election for Mayor and
city officers was held there last Mon
day. Both parties had strong tick
cts. The issues were those raised
by the Democratic majority in Con-
gress. The Republicans staked all
on "stalwartism. They took adj
vanced ground in favor of retaining
on the statute books the Federal
election laws. They won. 1t Is
their response to the party in Con
gress which proposes to protect bal
lot box suffers, repeaters and pc
litical hoodlums of every character
II is a voice that Democratic Con-
gressmen will heed. That, and 9th
er local elections in the Northern
States, is a prelude to what will fol
low next year. The DemOcratl
party has an infamous record, ant
the American people know it to
well to trust it. This is what tn
election in Cincinnati and Columbu

The True Explanation.

There have been good many ex-
plantations of the cause of the exodus
of colored people from the South, but
none so reasonable as that given by the
colored men themselves, as recorded in
another column. 1t is probably true
that most of them do not know to what
they are fleeing; but they all know
what they are fleeing from, and they
rather brave death by disease or star
walton than to submit to the injustice,
oppression and possible assassination
by their old task-masters, and their al
lies the bulldOzers. In the fullness of
time the slaves were made free in name.
They know and every one knows that
it is only in name and this may be the
very way in which they are to become
free in deed, and have their rights be-
fore the law.

Of course you have heard of the new
high-level bridge that spans the raging
Cuyahoga river. This is bridge 3,211
feet long and GA feet wide, connecting
the east and west sides of Cleveland,
and crossing the valley of the Cuyahoga
river. The roadway is 81 feet between
the curbstOnes two sidewalks III feet,
except at the draw or pivot span, which
is 46 feet wide from out to out, with
roadway 80 feet wide and two sidewalks
seven feet wide. The draw open is 332
feet long, being 68 feet above the ordi-
nary water mark of the river. The
table OF pivot span is 81 feet p
inches in diameter, and rests on AZ
wheels of 20 inches mean diameter and
10 inches face. The entire weight of
the draw resting on the table is 57O
tons, and the entire weight of the iron
work used in the viaduct is l ,44O tons.
There are $500 perches of masonry in
the viaduct, and there were used 277 900
lineal feet of filling. The cost, includ-
ing the right of way and all the ex-
penses, was nearly S2,250,OOO. The
viaduct was dedicated December 9th,

A MYSTERIOUS FIND.-The Manches-

article in pond, which proved to be q
large leather valise full of gentleman's
clothing all marked &c. A." worked in

ry in the valise i'll which was written
words in Greek, French and Latin, and
also an envelope on which was written

the valise, supposed to have been put
in to cause it to sink. There were
straps on the valise, showing it had been
strapped to the back of some person.
There are various theories regarding it
Some think it was stolen and disposed
of in this way to prevent discovery
Some think there may be case of sui
eide or murder connected with it, and
the pond has been examined for further
light on the question.
