yesIgate the validity Of ofTennesseCs bond
ed debt, was presented to-day by sena
tor Clapp, Of Memphis, The report, as
sdmes that liability Of tho State on the
bonds issued in her name rests for its de-
cision upon the law and facts oi the case,
as in a controversy between private per.
sons. 1.-THE Legislature has not the inner.
ent power Of making contracts 1t cannot
communicate such power to It's creatures,
private and public corporations. The
State is the primary and only party liable
for its bonds. Asalegal proposition they re.
port thatthey cannot understand upon
what ground the State expects 10 escape
liability as surety or guarantees on It's
railroad bonds, as to the matter OF q nego-
table instrument, and as TO, the pending
war interest, the committee knows d no
principle Of international law that sus.
ponds interest on interest bearing bebt
due by one belligercnt to an other. As
to fraud In the issue Of bonds supposing
fraud to be established, II q Legislature
pronounce It's own decd invalid, that
must be considered as.a measure Of power
which must find It's vindication IN q train
Of reasoning not often heard Of In a court
