PROPOSED REMOVAL OF THE pENI.
TENTIARY.

The proposition TO remove the peni-
tentiary from Nashville seems to be
steadily gaining ground. There is an
urgent necessity for this, which should
be recognized by the legislature
Nashville has grown to be an impor-
tant commercial and educa ;ional cen
ter since the penitentiary was located
= many years ago. 1t is now fanked on
each side by university of national
reputation: one is the Fisk university
for the education of the colored youth
Ofthe south, the other is Vanderbilt
university, bearing the name of its
great benefactor. Smiling forests
have given way to the expan sions Of
the city, and we'll paved streets run
over the ground that thirty years ago
was barren common or resort for
the sportsmen with dog and
gun. All has been changed; the city
has grown out to aud beyond the pen
itentiary, and it stands there, great,
frowning castle, containing the crimi-
nails Of every county-a blot and a
menace upon the leace and security
ofa thousand happy homes. 1t is a
cramped-up, dingy old bastile, whose
convicted inmates come and 60 in their
striped livery Of crime and degreda-
tion, and its very smoke rises slowly
and murkily as if the ground below
was cursed and not allowed the sun
shine of heaven. Prattling children,
anxious mothers and industrious me-
Chanics feel the blight of the dun
geons air which escapes through
damp walls and heavy creaking gates,
1t stands in the midst of a thrifty,
populous neighborhood, barrier to
further growth, a great shadow upon
an otherwise fair and beautiful scene.
The ground, which could be readily
utilized foy other purposes, belongs to
the state, and would sell to advantage.
This is practicsl business question.
The penitentiary is not only a curse
to our capital, which has become the
educational center Of the south, but
it has ceased to answer the
purpose for which it was established.
It will not hold half the con
victs, and is miserable,
disease-breeding hole at best.
a new one shouldb be built in some
quiet, healthy neighbOrhoOd, say near
Manchester, for instance, with view
to security, seclusion, and the utmost
working capacity of the convicts con
sistent with their health and strength
The less we see of them on the streets
and on farms aud public works, the
better for the morals, the peace and
welfare of the people at large.

Section 5. From and after the 1st
day of July, 1881, the three per cent
bonds, authorized by the first section
of this act, shall be the only bonds re-
oeiyable as security for national bank
circulation, or as security for the safe
keeping and prompt payment of pub
lie money deposited with such banks;
but when any such bonds. deposited
for the purposes aforesaid, shall be
designated for purchase or redemption

the banking association depositing the
same shall have the right to substitute
other issues of bonds # the
limited States in lieI thereof
provided taat no bond upon
which interest has ceased shall be ac-
cepted or continued on deposit as se-
curity for circulation or for the safe
keeping of public money, and in case
bonds so deposited shall not be with
drawn, provided it will, within thirty
days after tho interest has ceased

SUMMING UP.
In short l cannot but regard the
fifth section of the bill as a step in the
direction of the destruction of the ma
tional banking system Of our country.
After a long period our business has
just entered upon career of unexam-
pied prosperity, and the Withdrawal
of their currency from circulation by
the national banks and the enforced
winding up of the banks in eonse-
quence would inevitably bring serious
embarrassments and disaster to the
business Of the country. The banks
of issue are essential investments Of
modern commerce. and If the nresent
efficient and admirable system of
banking is broken down it will newt
ably be followed by a recur
renee to other and inferior meth
DDS of banking. Any measure
looking to such result will be ia dis.
turbing element in our financial sys
TEN. 1t will destroy confidence and
surely check the growing prosperity of
the country. Believing that the meas
ure for refunding the national debt is
not necessarily connected with the ma i.
tional banking law, and that any re-
funding act will defeat its own object
if it imperiled the national banking
system or seriously impair its useful
ness, and convinced that section 5 of
the bill now before me would, if it
should become a law, work a great
harm, herewith return the bill to the
house of representatives for that
further consideration which is pro-
vided for in the constitution.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The fol-
lowing is the message Of the president
vetoing the funding bill:
To the House of Representative
Having considered the bill entitled
IAN act to facilitate
THE REFUNDING oFNATIoNAL DEBT"
| am constrained to return it to the
house Of representatives, in which it
originated, with the following state
ment of my objection to its passage
The imperative necessity for prompt
action, and the pressure of public
duties in this the closing week of my
term of Office, compel pe to refrain
from any attempt to make full and
satisfactory presentation of my
OBJECTIONS TO THE BILL.
The Importance of the passage at
the present session Of congress of suit
able measures for refuuding the ma
tional debt, whichi is about to mature,
is generally recognized. 1t has been
urged upon the attention of congress
by the secretary Of the treasury and in
my last annual message. If success.
fully accomplished, it will secure a
decrease in the annual interest of the
NATIONAL DEBT,
and earnestly recommend, if the bill
before the house shall fail, that an
other measure for this purpose be
adopted before the present congress
adjourns. While, in my opinion, it
would be wise to authorize the
secretary Of the treasury. in his discre-
ton, to offer to the public bonds
bearing 81 per cent interest
in aid of refunding. l should not
deem it my duty to interpose my con-
stitutional objection to the passage Of
the present bill, II 1t did not contain
in its fifth sectien provisions which,
in my judgment, seriously impair the
value and

now been in operation almost twenty
years, and nc safer nor more beneficial

It's advantages as business are free
to all who have the necessary capital.
1t furnishes a currency to the country
which for convenience and security to
the bill holder, has probably never
been equalled by that of any other
banking system. Its notes are secured
by deposit with the government of
interest bearing bonds Of the United

UNDER THIS SECTION

It is obvious that no additional banks
will hereafter be organized except
possibly in few cities or localities
where prevailing rates of interest in
ordinary business are extremely low.
No banks can be organized and no in
crease of capital of existing banks can
be obtained except by purchasing
and depositing three per cent bonds.
No other bonds of tho United States
can be used forsuch purpose.
THE ONE THOUSAND MILLIONS
Of otbor bonds recently issued by the
United States, and bearing higher
rate of interest than three per cent,
and ther, fore better security for che

ONE of the worst bank failures on
record was reported on Monday, when
the fact was developed that the cashier
of the Mechanics National Bank of New
ark, N. J., had been systematically
swindling the institution for number of
years until the shortage amounted to the
astounding total of two million dollars.
When suspicion was first aroused the
cashier was arrested, and when the direc-
tors expressed willingness to put up
$500, 900 to tide the bank over. he calmly
Informed them that that amount Was not
sufficient to make good beginning with
and that not less than $1,000, 900 was
necessary. The magnitude of the failure
created intense excitement in Eastern
banking circles.

CARL SoHMIDT's bolt of the democratic
nominee for superintendent would be
proper if he deemed him incompetent CT
unworthy of the position. But it is
simply personal dislike and the jealousy
which he feels toward The Pilot. 1t is
hardly reasonable to believe that the
Germans of Manitowoc county will take
part In the personal quarrel of the editor
of The Nord-Westen. For over two
years his paper has been full of abuse
both of the editor of this paper and
Judge Ki-wan. He never missed an CD.
portunity either through his paper or in
conversation to misrepresent and vilify
both. For over two years the only orig.
inal matter in The Nord- Weston, was
attacks upon both. He charges that The
Pilot bolted. 1t did once. Schmidt
bolted Villas, Jerome Pierce, and it is
boiling now. He has not in three years
given cordial support TO the democratic
ticket, and it is well known fact that if
he cannot boss the democratic party of
the county, he is a. lxious to see it go to
pieces.
