The Congressional Executive
committee of this district we're APP
pointed to meet at Mt. Pleasant
last week, but only three were pres
ent, j. Il. Nicely, of Williamson; w.
A. Stewart, of Lawrence, and j. +.
II. Carpenter, Of Maury. There be-
ing no quorum present, nothing was
done except to appoint May 20 for
another meeting at the same place.
The following letter from Captain
Perkins was read:
FRANKLIN, April 10, 1880.
Gentlemen of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee OF the 9TH Con
gressional District :-In conformity
To the usages of the party, l have
made a call for this meeting for
the purpose Of conference rs 10 the
interests OF our political organiza
ton, and to devise methods for the
conduct OF the approaching con
gressioaal election. AS has been
the custom, had supposed that it
would be necessary TO have "A con
vention of delegates from the differ
ent counties composing the district,
to nominate n candidate for con-
gress. II such should be the con
clusion Of your deliberations, L
deem it advisable that it should be
so determined and the time and
place appointed at the earliest prRc-
tIcable period. An early conven-
ton and an early nomination will
save a vast amount OF trouble and
expense TO candidates and do much
to prevent in advance the personal
and political dissensions so com
mon to n political canvas before
nomination. 1 think our party
should settle it at as early day as
possible who shall be our standard
bearer, and prepare at once for has
cordial and vigorous support. i
regret that important business OF
another character renders IL lmpos
sible for me 70 be present in person
at your meeting; but / can only
give the COMMITTEES assurance 10 adj
vance OF my cooperation in all
measures they may see proper TO
adopt looking to the common inter-
ests of our great party.
Not wishing in any manner 70
dictate TO the meeting as To the
place To be selected for the conven-
tiou, you will allow me, not as your
chairman, but as a private citizen
Of Williamson county, TO suggest
that il is the desire of a large body
of our democratic fellow citizens
Lere 10 have the county convention
at Franklin. We have never yet
had the honor of receiving aud en-
tertaining that body. while most OF
the counties of the district have. i
can give assurance that # you will
make selection of this place, We
will welcome the delegates with a
cordial hospitality.
Very respectfully.
Your obedient servant
THOMAS +. PERKINS, JR.

CONCLUSION.

Four years ago 1 announced my
self a candidate for Congress In
this district. Soon afterwards, two
other of your older and highly re
spectedcitizens,a also entered the con-
test. There we're also three or four
other aspirants from other counties
in the district. 1 was then quite
a young man. and seeing that my
candidacy might produce division
in nv own county, and would pos
sibly produce difficulty in reaching
a nomination by the convention, /
was unwilling to stand IN the way
of the thorough harmony of the

When Congress passed an act
funding matured bonds at a per
cent. it was predicted by New York
bankers that they could not.be sold
in the market, yet to-day they are
the favorite bond in the market at
large premium. Indeed, so
great is their premium, that JaDu-
airy II, 1880, the metropolitan
Bank, of New York, withdrew
50 $50, 900 A per cent. bonds deposit
ed with the Treasurer as security
for circulation, aud made $50, 900
in the transaction by the sale of the
bonds.
If England an other countries
can reduce their rate TO 3 per cent.
and less, the United States can do
the same thing. A reduction Of
the interest OF the national debt
from 81 to per cent. interest
would be An annual saving OF
$44,N8,14I.25, and the people
would see and appreciate its bene
fit. Mr.. Wood, chairman OF the
Finance Committee IN Congress,
gives these facts and holds TO the
opinion that this can be done. and,
