EDITOR BULLETIN:-ThIs note signed by
A. NJ. Lambeth, jr., invites all democrats to
follow his example and bolt the democratic
party-he ignores party lines and party
creeda, and as a self appointed leader holds
out will-o'-the-wisp light to iIlveigle hon
est democrats to abandon the old ship at
sight Of his private craft labeled repudi-
alton. Who is this new leader? Another
chronic boiler, who bolted the democratic
party IN 1872, and voted for u. S. Grant
against the democratic nominee, he bolted
the democratic nomination fpr County
Representative Of HardeInan county in
1870, zHd voted against Rush the regular
nominee, he bolted the convention that
nominated N. T. Polk for County Repre-
sentative in 1872, and supported Beck
against him, and now having gone into the
regular democratic convention at Nashville,
he bolts that convention and seeks to divide
the democratic party by electing men to the
Legislature Regardless of National poll
tics" That Is to say, sacrifice your presi-
dent, your Senator, your congressman,
sacrifice your party, the great bulwark OF
the people against oppression and wrong,
sacrifice everything, even honor, truth and
justice, SO that you elect repudiationists TO
the legislature. My countrynen will you
do 1t? God forbid.

EDITOR BULLETIN: l have heard SO much
lately from certain parties in relation to
disgracefgl frauds by corrupt Legislatures
and dishonest railroad companies III rela-
ton to issuance Of bonds by the Brownlow
government in aid of railroads, that a pri-
vate, poorly informed citizen like myself
would naturally come to the conclusion, if
the things be true as stated by those late
guardians of the peoples rights, that our
beloved old State is hopelessly ruined, and
that her citizens should never be taxed
one cent TO pay either principal
or interest on her railroad bonds But I
thought perhaps an honest, prudent man
had better look into the wreck and see the
extent of the ruin before he joined in the
popular clamor for low taxes, which means
(if it means anythiDg), the reputation of
the whole bonded debt of the State, issued
in aid of internal improvements. and the
destruction Of the democratic party and the
election of a republican Governor.
l therefore examined the statute of 1867
and 1868, page II, under which Brownlow
and Senter issued the bonds complained Of,
and find that there were issued to the

know is not the case), then how was it posi-
bic Tor these rascally a. railroads to reduce
the States bonded Indebtedness from forty
three millions down to nineteen millions Of
dollars in fraudulent Brovnlow bonds? In
view OF these facts is it possible that any gen
tleman will resort to these arguments any
more for the purpose Of trying 10 deceive
anybody without blush Of shame on his
cheek?
But these are the arguments with which
those pay-nothing gentlemen have been en-
tightening as for the last two years. no.
tice short publication in your last paper
from that distinguished statesman, A NJ
Lambeth, Jr., Chairman OF the Executive
Committeeman local and constitutional ad-
wiser Of the low tax party in West Tennessee,
informing Us OF the marvellous fact that the
State don't owe the debt at ALL Yet notwith-
standing the fact that she had executed her
plain, unconditional bond according to the
requirements of the law of the State, and in
form prescribed and under the sanction of
the great seal of the State, soIennly prom
ising to pay without such thing as u railroad
being known in it, even as endorser; yet in
the face OF all this the gentleman procIaims
to us that the State don't owe the bonds and
cites as his authority section of internal
improvement law of 1852, where the state
created statutory lien on the railroads to
indemnify herself for theloan she had made
them and which she
HAS PAID To THE STATE
according to her own law, which of course
cancels the States lien. And in addition to
this the State, in pursuance Of her statutory
liens, as she had the legal right to do, seized
the delinquent railroads. sold out to highest
bidder and collected the proceeds. And yet
according to the advice of the chairman of
the pay-nothing committee, she owes moth
ing, nor is she morally or legally bound to
pay anything.
Now, my friends, let US reason together Tor
a moment. Is this the sort Of counsel that
should control the action of a great sovereign
State like Tennessee State that has here
tofore stood high among the sisterhood Of
States, ank I trust the day is not distant when
she will again? But alas! never whiIesuch
counsel as this controls her action. had in

Total amount Brownlow railroad bonds.-s4 500, 900
Now, Mr.. Editor, while do not believe
that law ever should have given aid to all
the railroads that it did, and while 1 have
no doubt that some of them did get their
bonds improperly and applied them fraud
ulently, yet happen to know that large
amount of the bonds was issued in strict nc
cordance with the law and applied in ac-
cordance with its provisions And while
the law should not have given aid to those
short line delinquent railroads, yet so far as
the through lines of solvent and interest
paying railroads are concerned, l regard it
as one of the best laws that has been passed
since the war. It enabled them to repair
the destruction by the
FEDERAL ARMY,
and go to work and do the peoples business;
and we all remember how delighted we were
when we found the State had extended her
aid to our impoverished railroads.
And I undertake to say that the solvent
railroads have complied strictly with the
requirements of the State law, not only in
the payment of their interest, but in the
final payment of their debt to the State.
This they were compelled to do or be put
| in liquidation, for we all know that rail-
roads have had but few friends in any legis-
lature of late years; not only so, but she
| delegated to herself the authority TO APP
point State directors TO watch the company
