THE STATE DEBT.
Comments Of the Press On the
Senate Vote.
Louisville Commercial, (Rep.).

Louisville Commercial, (Rep.)
The honor and prosperity of Tens
nessee seem to be in the hands OF
one or two men. The rejection of
the funding bill in the Tennessee
senate yesterday, by the close vote
of u ayes to Is noes, shows on how
narrow point tremendous issues
and interests sometimes hinge. This
vote will cast gloom over the
friends of Tennessee, and, if final,
nip many prosperous enterprises in
the bud. The credit of Tennessee is
a byword now. Money for the most
promising enterprises is refused as
soon as it is known that they are
located in Tennessee. It is shame
and misfortune that this should be
SO, and those who keep it so infict a
gross and inexcusable injustice on a
well-meaning and deserving people
Nashville American (Dem)
The State debt question stands
upon the motion to reconsider, and
comes up for action Tomorrow.
There is no doubt about the recons
sideration. AS to whether the bill
can pass depends upon the Demo-
Gratis. If they choose to allow the
Republicans to claim all the credit
of being ready and willing to make
settlement, while they shoulder all
the responsibility, the consequences
will appear hereafter.
Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
It is q declaration coming from
her own senate that she cares little
or nothing for financial obligations
that she would rather bear the stig'
ma of Reputation than a burden Of
taxation sufficient to pay 3 per cent
on bonds issued to build fine
State-house and good system o.
railroads, that she has all the capita
she needs, and can take care of hel
own material development, needing
no outside labor or capital. x x :;
Tennessee has been divided long
enough on this issue, and the Demo.
cratic party has been injured il
other States than Tennessee, anC
this legislature should settle tn
Question. x
Altogether, it is a bad business
bad for the State, bad for the party
bad for the whole South.

In the discussion of the PROPOSE
ton to settle the State debt, which
took place in the senate last week,
two gentlemen at least distinguished
themselves. The speech of Senator
Watson, of Davidson, was a very
able one. He made no effort at
spread-eagle oratory, and his re-
marks were entirely free from the
sentimental demagogism which char
acterized the harrangues on the re-
pudiation side of the house; but he
appealed directly to the intellect,
judgement and reason Of the senate.
His arguments were convincing and
unanswerable.
Hon. A. J. Brown, the senator
from Washington county, made a
most eloquent appeal in favor OF
State credit and public honor. We
heard an able and distinguished
Democratic lawyer Of Nashville say
that his speech was the ablest that
had been made in the State senate
for ten years. He presented the
facts in forcible and logical man
ner, and was at times grandly
eloquent. Had he never made {
speech before, this one effort woult
cause him to rank among the ables
and most effective public speaker
in Tennessee.
Senator CASTOR also made a goot
speech, we were told, but we di(
not have the pleasure of hearing
him. He certainly made a mos
creditable argument, that doe
honor alike to his head and heart
These gentlemen are faithful ser
wants Of the people.

.sCITY NIANAGENIENT.., ,,

Our correspondent ''H. H." makes good point when he says concerning s'city man. agement" of the waterworks ''We grant that the city if it purchases the waterworks will endeavor to put them under the man. agement of upright men. But after all they will be but servants, uncertain of holding their positions even through most faithful service, for they will be subject to the chances of accident and may be, to the in- trigues of the baser sort'' This is not an exaggerated way of putting the case, as any body who has any acquaintance with politics and the experience of other cities knows. If anybody supposes that the politicians would not use the offices in the proposed Water department for their own purposes they need salt.
 We are promised many good things if we will only vote to add large amount to the city's debt and buy the waterworks. Similar promises on similar occasions have been made before in this and in other cities, but crease faith Read what srH. H." says about the experience of the city of Cincinnati in trying to do business which it should never have undertaken. Pay attention also to the following letter sent by 'sk Common Suffer- er'' to the Boston AdUertiser, which reveals some of the beauties of "city management of water in Boston

But this agrarian principle is as applicable to the milk bills as to the water bills of the parties.

project for constructing a circular ele- vated railroad for Vienna, which for the last fifteen months has given employment to a large staff of English and Austrian engineers, is about to be carried out. The pro- posal is that wherever it may be pos sible it shall be carried above ground on iron columns. While the greater part of the railway would be elevated on iron pillars, yet owing to the rise of the ground, it would have to pass along the Gurtel Strasse in cutting, the cross streets being carried over it on bridges. Before reaching the Wahringer Linie, length of tunnel, about 1,2OO feet
 would have to be made under the space in front of the grounds of the asylum for idiots
 The length of the circular railway as project ed is 8 1-2 miles, but it is proposed to make six branches, which will give a total length of about 2S miles, The locomotives, weigh ing 25 tons, would be freless, and charged with steam from stationary boiler. The cost of carrying out the scheme is estimated at $2e, ,oOo, ,000 The population of Vienna and it's suburbs, according to late returns is 1 400, 900.
 Some newspapers which are more or less under the influence of the Star route ring are making professions of regret that Mir, Mac Veagh has left the Cabinet, and are try ing to make it appear that his leaving is on account of conviction that he had not a strong case against the accused parties. This, says the well informed Washington correspondent of the Boston A60ertiser, is of a piece with their effrontery from the be- ginning, ''They know, and the public knows, that other able lawyers who are not offensive to them on political grounds and have fully examined the evidence ia the hands of the government, are as firmly con- vinced as Mr. NacVeagh that it is sufficient for conviction in a fair trial. Mir. Benjamin H. Brewster and George Bliss did not enter the case until they had examined it, and they, who were selected to prosecute it in the courts, have not abandoned it. It would be doing the President gross injus. tice to suppose that he is in any manner responsible for or has any sympathy with the malignant attacks upon MacVeaghs mo- tives in retiring which appear in certain journals in close proximity to fulsome Iaudation of himself It is as much part of their game to try to make the public be- ieve the President is their friend as to as- perse the late Attorney General

Valueless Information. rErrnrn tha New Haran Reeistar

The information about waterworks in other cities obtained by the committee of council is almost valueless Writing letters to a number of officials who are all directly inter- ested in giving good account of the matters under their charge elicits no real informa- ton. Actual inspection of works in other cities, together with an examination into the details of expenses, water taxes, water con- tracts, needless salaries and the like, might have afforded basis for report to the city council. The method adopted by the com mittee was utterly untrustworthy and their majority report can hardly be otherwise. No business man acting in his own private af- fairs would propose to make an investment of $2 ,OOO, 900 without making personal ex- animation of the business into which he was about to embark. Writing letters te inter ested people in other cities would not suffice in private affairs, neither should it in public matters.
