The WAR BEGUN.
The Comptroller is Served
with an Injunction,
To Prevent the Funding Of the
1908 Act.
The Mineral Hume Railroad Bonds De.
clared Illegally Issued, and Two
Legislators Charged with
Bribery.

NASHVILLE, May 24.-Lawyers IN
terested in filing the bill Of Injunction
to-day declare that it means a long and
holly contested fight in the courts.
They have a lengthy litigation, and
consider they have a good case.
A bill was served on the comptroller
this morning by the sheriff Of this
county, enjoining the funding board
from carrying out the requirements of
the 1908 rounding act.
The bill alleges that the Mineral
Home railroad bonds, and bonds issued
for war interest and war purposes,
were illegally issued; that the funding
act was procured, by bribery; that
members of the legislature were specu-
lating in Tennessee bonds when the act
was passed; that one member received
$4,000 and $15, 900 for voting for the
act.
The bill further charges that the act
Is unconstitutional, because it appro-
pirates the revenue for 80 years, while
the constitution prohibits appropria-
tioRs for a longer time than two years;
also because it eonfers powers on the
executive officers to pass on the lie
galitY of the bonds; that by the coupon
feature the school fund is diverted
from Its legitimate purpose; that it
provides for funding bonds held by
certain bondholders, bnt excerpts the
bonds held by charitable and educa-
tional institutions; that the act fails TO
recite i'll Its caption, or otherwise, the
title or substance of the law repealed,
revised or amended; that it repeats
the section of the act of March, 1873,
prohibiting the reception of anything
but treasury warrants, gold and silver,
United States bank notes and the old
issue of the bank of Tennessee for tax
by making coupons receivable for
taxes.
The bill further alleges that the act
is ambiguous, and asks for construc-
ton of the act by the court. The bill
of injunction was presented to Judge
l. I. Williams at Winchester, and a
fiat granted the Goth of May. The
comptroller, not one of the members
of the funding board, says no action
Will be taken to dissolve the injunction
until the return of State Treasurer
Polk and Secretary-ofState Num-.

SENATOR GARLAND, of Arkansas,
wh1 is now rigid abstainer from
spirituous liquors was once liberal
consumer of the ardent. The Augusta
Chronicle relates that Garland's first
refusal when in company with the old
set, in the senate committee rooms,
brought down upon him shower of
questions us to the cause Of his new
departure. In response Garland told
his friends that there was nothing the
matter with him: "But," said he,
"Ive stopped, and added: "You know
We had pretty hot canvass in Ar
kansas this summer, and / went all
over the State stumping. Well,
saw the graves of good many good
fellows who began with me, and who
are now in the daIk valley or the light
one, which ever it may be. l saw the
wrecks of other men who started with
mo to be jolly good fellows. The
graves and the wrecks set me to
thinking. From thinking l began to
calculate. Well, on a rough calcula-
ton, l found that had already drank
about barrel and n half Of Whisk y
more than was entitled to. Then
faid to myself that if 1 drank any
moro should be drinking some other
fellows whisky, and, rs l didn't want
to.do that, l stopped. There you have
the whole story.

THE WAR or GIANTS.

Grantism received Il stunning blow
when Garfield refused to become PHI
ant tool Of ConkImg in the dISburse-
ment of Federal patronage in New
York State. The insuaerable inso-
lence of this colossal American cox
comb has been an ofIense to the public
for years, and now that the President
declines t0 surrender his chief pre-
negative to his dictatorial intermed-
ding, the people rejoice at the issue
made, and hope that the legislature of
New York will give his conceit and
el1rontery Il stunning rebuke.
To defeat Conkling is to defeat
Grantism and bury stalwartism. These
elements are revolutionary factors in
American politics. They threaten the
republican system Of government, and
convert the will of the people into the
close corporation Of -Conkling
dictatorship. Garfield should be sus-
tanned by all patriots irrespective of
party. The senatorial deadlock was
the creation of his brain and the spawn
of his corrupt and selfish ambition. He
essayed To hurl the secret manifesto of
an lmperious party caucus against the
INDEPENDENCE ofthe head ofthe govern
ment, actually stopping the wheels of
legislation unless the President yielded
TO the irresponsible domination Of a
political clique. This movement was
qualification in fact and tantamount to
revolution.
1t is high time that the American
people ascertain the bearings of the
national compass. OF late years af-
fairs have been drifting into dangerous
channels. That monster, .esntraliza-
ten, has boldly advanced until quite
all constitutional safeguards have yield
Ell to its designs, and the deep unrest
and disquietude in the public mind
have dcspairingly conceived the idea
that a one-man power is infinitely
preferable to the tickle whims of an
irresponsible majority. The important
interests at stake and the perils sur
rounding the present imperatively de-
Inand that the people rehearse and re-
learn the teachings of the early fathers
of the republic, and rekIndle in their
bosJms the same pure fire of patriotism
which llunincd the birthday of
American freedom, and threw around
Its history a charm of power unparal-
led in the annals of human institu-
tions.

Tennessee's Debt settlement.

The Baltimore Sun says that there
is conscience of nations and cOmmu-
mites as well as individuals, this evil
dence Of her awakened sense of what
is due to honesty and public faith Oh
the part of the legislature of Tennes-
see has been received with grati6ca
ton. Doubtless the generally prus-
porous condition of the State and
country, and the prevailing low rate of
interest for money, which makes three
per cent. per annum appear much
larger than it would ten or fifteen years
ago, have greatly contributed to and
favored the settlement. The present
decision of the Supreme court OF the
United States in regard to the Vir-
GINA State coupons being receivable
for taxes has also helped the cause by
strengthening the security which the
new arrangement affords the bond
holders. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that, having refused to scale the prin-
eipal of her debt, and having taken
place once more in the ranks of debt
paying States, the great and prosper
Gus State OF Tennessee will take no
step backward in this matter, but will
remain an example and encouragement
to Others which are still wrestling
with the temptation of reputation,
readiustment and dishonor.

Senator Harris on COnkIing's Course.

The action of the Republican caucus
in unanimously agreeing to vote for
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, for the
President pro tenn of the Senate, is q
very high compliment to that gentle
man, and shows the high estimation in
which he is held. Harris and Conk-
ling are personal friends, though as
far apart politically as the poles.
In conversation upon Conkling's
and Platt's movement, Senator Harris
says: The Senators have returned
their commissions to the State. New
York voted the Republican ticket last
November. Senators Conkling and
Platt found themselves antagonizing
the administration, and inasmuch as
the administration was put in power
by the State of New York and other
States, and as Conkling was bound to
antagonize the President, he evidently
thought that the best thing for him to
do was to tender his commission. He
now goes back to New York fully ex-
pecting to meet with endorsement
there 1 can see no other reason than
this. He submits to the people his
action and awaits their verdict. If
he is reelected and sent back here, he
will not only have the rejecting of
their views for the future, but the con-
firmation by them of his course in the
past. 1t will all come forth very
shortly. When the resignation was
first read / was busy reading. I was
busy reading letter and did not catch
distinctly what it was, so called for a
second reading. I was quite surprised
when 1 found out what it was. The
democrats arc not worried. They are
all very comfortable. If Messrs.
COnkling and Plat are reelected on
the platform they have assumed, 1
regard it as an open declaration of
war. There will be wrangle, but
the republicans will come together
when they find themselves in a contest
with their common enemy"

No STAR ROUTE MONEY FOR HAN.
COCK.

COCK.
The Baltimore Sun says Gen. VIM.
B. Franklin, of Connecticut, who took
an active part in furthering the Bomi-
nation OF Gen. Hancock ut Cincinnati,
states that the whole amount of money
expended passed through his hands
and Was paid by personal friends Of
Gen. Hancock. The whole number
Of contributors was less than halt
dozen, and the whole amount coEtrib-
utel was precisely 81 $50. Of this
amount 800 were expended for rent
Of headquarters, two small parlors in
a small hotel; s400 were paid for 30
GOD badges, absorbing nearly all the
proper-sized and colored ribbon in Gin
cinnati, making corner in ribbon,
and S345 We're paid for banners, por-
traits, printing placardsf and tele-
graphing. The remainder, $105, was
left in Gen. Franklin's hands, and
was turned over by him to one Of the
democratic national committees during
the campaign. Only one of the con-
tributors was in political life, and the
name of no one of them has been con-
nected with the star route or any other
scandal. Gen. Franklin says: "When
We saw the brilliant parades and dis
plays, and the splendid quarters of our
rival aspirants for the nomination our
hearts sank within us, but the very
poverty of onr surroundings was a
help to us, reminding the delegates
who visited us and heard what we had
to say of the days when simplicity and
absence of show was a sign of true
Pennsylvania democracy" This,
with letter of similar purport from
Ex-senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania,
certainly explodes the recently pub
lished statements which sought to at
tribute the nomination of Gen. Han
cock at Cincinnati to money put afoat
by star route contractors.

his confirmation for high office by
