TenneSsee'S State Debt.


Tennessee has, like Virginia, been agi-
tated ever since the war by the question
Of the payment of her state debt. She
issued new bonds for the unpaid interest
q few years ago, but since then has only
paid one coupon. She redeemed the
debt, however, largely by selling her in
terest in the railroads, and now she owes
but about twenty-five millions, which is
a bagatelle to a state Of her resources.
At the last election the Democratic
party was divided into slow credit"
and "high credit" party, the latter
wanting to settle the debt on the best
terms the bond-holder would offer, and
the former wishing to coerce a settle
ment at very low figure. The
Republican party took the high
credit side, and by the Democratic divi-
sion elected its governor. The Legisla-
ture has "high credit" majority in
both branches, and for month past has
been wrestling with the debt question.
The bondholders agreed to fund the prin-
cipal and interest of the debt in a three
per cent. bond running ninety years,
and the governor strongly recommended
the acceptance of the proposition to the
legislature. The lower House passed
the measure by a two-thirds majority,
but it was defeated in the Senate by one
majority, owing to the reluctance of one
or two high credit Senators to vote
for one Of the features, which permitted
the coupons Of the funds to be paid in
for taxes. The value OF the bonds on
tue stock market of New York, has been
fluctuating widely within the last few
days, as the views of settlement by the
Legislature waXed and waned. The
body adjourns on Wednesday, and is
still considering the debt matter on a
reconsideration had of the vote and it is
vet uncertain what the outcome will be.
It seems very silly for such question
to be permitted to divide a party in :,
state so rich in resources as Tennessee.
One would think that any honest legisla-
tor would be willing to vote for the pay
ment of the states obligations in full
and would he very reluctant to claim
that so great a state would be embar-
rassed by twenty-five million debt But
there are so many men with unsouni
ideas on money matters and so many
legislators who have no judgment of
their own, superior to popular clamor,
that it is found to be possible to find
legislators personally honest who will
deliberately put the stigma of total
or partial reputation on their state
and to proclaim state of poverty in it,
though it does not exist and though such
a repute must be both disadvantageous
to its welfare and damaging to its fame.
The irresistible conclusion Of strangers
to Tennessee must be, if her people find so
small debt too burthensome, to assume
that their prosperity is not Of such /,
kind as to invite immigration and yet
immigration is what the state needs, as
its legislators wellknow, to develop its
resources.

LORD BACON, in his essay ON death,
most truly says cit is worthy the OBJ
serving that there is no passion in the
mind of man SO weak but it mates and
masters the fear of death and, therefore,
death is no such terrible enemy when MAJ
has SO many attendants about him that
can win the combat of him. Revenge
triumphs over death; love Sights it !;
honor aspireth to it !; grief fcoth to it ;
fear occupieth it !; nay, we read that after
Otho, the emperor, had slain himself, pity
which is the tenderest Of affections, pro-
voked many to die out of mere compass
sion to their sovereign, and as the truest
and best of followers. It is no less worthy
to observe how little alteration in good
spirits the approaches OF death make, for
they appear to be the same men till the
last instant"

Monday, September s, 1881.

AN EMINENT member of the Washington
Bar calls our attention to the following
facts:
a. William A. Cook has been employed
by Wayne Macveagh to represent the Gov
ernment in the Howgate case.
(2.) 4 question has arisen between the
priority of n Government attachment and
an assignment by Howgatc to his bonds
men, covering certain property.
(3.) One Cole is the attorney for How
gates bondsman in the case under discus
sion.
a. This Cole is the law partner of Will
liam A. Cook.
(5.) So far as the case has progressed there
appears to be deliberate design on the
part OF Cook to subordinate the interests of
the Government, whose counsel he is, to
the interests of the bondsman, whose coun-
sci his partner is
We hope nobody will infer that our pur-
pose is to criticise Cook. Cook is not
amenable to criticism. If he has entered
into conspiracy with his law partner to
sell out the interests of the Government
and is employing his powers as Government
counsel to that end, the affair will not
strike anybody who knows him asanything
but the proper, necessary and natural thing
for him to do.
Cook is not only not amenable to critic
ism; but is not even responsible to public
opinion. No man can be held to u response
bility above his general reputation and the
general reputation of William A. Cook does
not require description. bi
But Wayne Macyeagh whose agent
Cook is in these premises, sustains differ
ent relation. Dishonorable and dcspicable
as Wayne MacVcagh may be in his per-
sonal nature, the blunder of a good-natured
President, who is notoriously not a critical
judge of men, has lifted him to a position of
responsibility to public opinion.
He has chosen to shower favor and con-
fidence upon a notorious criminal court
shyster, jury packer and witncss-corrupto
to whose debased mind an honorable
thought is as alien as soap and water arc to
his filthy person.
We now begin to witness the result
Wayne Macyeagh cannot absolve himself
from responsibility for the frauds of the de-
graded and irresponsible agents that he has
employed. The indications are that the
law firm of Cook & Cole will make soft
thing out of the Howgate case. Of course
it is idle to pursue this matter now. Let
them have their day. By-and.by the day
of honest men will come.
