DISTRICT ATTORNEY CoRKHILL has
been the subject of good deal of
censure il connection with the pros
ecution of the Star Route cases at
Washington. The most serious COM
plant made against him is, that he
adjourned the grand jury for the Dis
trict of Columbia over to a time
when the prosecution against some
Of the chief offenders would expire
under the statute of limitation. But
his explanation, as reported in our dis
patches yesterday morning, places the
question in very different light, SO
far as he is concerned. According
to his statement, the cases had been
virtually taken out of his hands, and
he was given to understand that if
his services were required, he would
be informed. These cases have been
on hand long time, and by this
time the government should have
been thoroughly prepared for their
prosecution. But the opinion. is
gaining strength, that the alleged
offenders have been prosecuted more
vigorously through the newspapers
than in the courts. This is a good
way to make and influence public
opinion, but it is much more difficult
sometimes to present cold facts be-
fore court than to get them before
the public through the newspapers.
The public expects good deal, and

OUR TRADE BALANCES.

In ordinary trade the balances are
either paid in money or debt is
created. Our foreign trade is an
apparent exception to the rule. The
balance in our favor during the last
three years has not been less than
seven hundred millions. Had it been
cancelled by the transfer of gold and
silver coin, the only money current
the world over, the disturbance of
commercial exchange would have been
disastrous. It is manifest that
considerable debt has not been
created for we should then see the
evidence of it.
How is it to be accounted for2 In
the first place, this balance is subject
to q considerable reduction. Our
imports are calculated upon the
valuation in the foreign market. They
ars landed in America, charged with
the cost of freight and insurance. As
this goes chiefly to foreigners, it must
be placed to foreign credit. A further
deduction of the large sums scatter
ed about by American travellers,
which has been estimated
at not less than one hun
bred millions a year. This is
in part offset by the expenditures Of
foreign travellers in this country and
the money on the persons of immi,
grants. Again, We have been and
still are heavily indebted to Europe
and large percentage Of our ex'
ports goes to meet the annual inter
est and to make payments upon the
principal. All these factors in the
problem vary from year to year, anG
in their nature are difficult to est.

THE WOOL AND MUTTON INTEREST.

We have often called the attention
of our farmers to the advantages of
East Tennessee for raising sheep.
Our climate is great advantage.
We have great deal of land, now
yielding nothing at all, which, at
comparatively slight expense, could
be adapted to grazing purposes, upon
which sheep would live two-thirds of
the year with very little attention.
But we take it for granted that our
farmers understand all this-under1
stand it better than we can tell them.
But if the wool and mutton interests
could have been made profitable in
the past, the future promises much
greater encouragement than ever
before.
Heretofore our market has been
limited. We have not been
near enough to the great centers of
population. This state of affairs will
not continue much longer. In less
than q year from this time, we will
be within twelve hours run of Louis
vile and Cincinnati Within that
time arrangements will have been
made for running cars from Knox
vile and all points on the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail
road to Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York. With these facilities at
our command, sheep for mutton may
be probably shipped from this Sec
ton to at lest six Of the largest cities
of the Union, and we predict that
fortunes are in store for some enter,
prising men who will embark in this
industry, with the zeal and determi
nation to succeed. We will not now
attempt to go into details. We
merely throw out these
hints for the consideration of our
farmers and land owners. There
has never before been such substan-
tial encouragement to them to en-
gage in raising sheep and cattle.
Some men are bound to make for
tunes in this business, right here on
the hills and vallies Of East Tennes
see, vino will it be? The answer is
with our farmers.
We are aware that some disadvan-
tages are to be encountered. One
OF the greatest, perpaps, is the large
number of worthless dogs to be
found all over our section. To meet
this will perhaps require some arbi-
trary action. Our Legislators, as a
general thing, think more of the dogs
than they do of the sheep
It may be that the shot
gun policy is the only way to NEE
this evil But farmers who go into
sheep raising should not hesitate tc
adopt this policy and carry it on
vigorously. It will be for the public
. good. The dogs are of no value
The sheep are valuable. Thu
, dog yields no income to his owner
> The sheep does. And we advis
every man who raises sheep for prof
to keep shotgun and protect h
9 sheep. It is an industry too import
ant to our people to admit of an.
!, temporizing policy. Shoot the dog
= and save the Sheen.

A COURT OF APPEALS,

We learn that a bill is now before
our legislature for the creation of a
"court of appeals" in order to re-
lieve the supreme court, which,
especially in the middle and west
ern divisions of the state, is over
loaded with business and far behind
with its docket. 1t is to consist of
one judge from each grand division
of the state, and will have equal
jurisdiction with the supreme court,
cases only to be appealed from il to
the supreme court in cases where
two of the judges cannot agree as to
the law and the facts. Our supreme
court is nearly three years behind
with its over-crowded civil docket,
and has been for years, and we
heartily endorse the establishment
Of such a court, if even for few
years, to aid it in clearing up its
crowded docket. Something ought
to be done in this matter, as this
long delay in the final decision of
causes quite often works great and
irreparable injury to litigants, and
piles up the cost of litigation To a
burdensOme degree.
The fact that the supreme court
docket is far i'm arrears is, we think,
no fault of our past or present su-
preme court, for they have worked
hard and indefatigably to try to get
even since the war. The docket
became full and crowded immedi-
ately after the war, when litigation
was rife, and has never been clear
since. We think thepeOple through
out the state would be glad to have
such a "court of appeals" and we
hope the legislature will, in its wis
dom establish one. We think it
would be far preferable to the court
of arbitration which has been estab-
lished at different times to aid the
supreme court. Other states have
such courts, and they work well.

WHAT WILL INTERPRETATIONS
DOe

The republican members OF our
legislature all went before the coun-
tsy and asked the suffrage of the
people OF the state, not merely on
their national politics, but chiefly
on the ground of their being state
credit men, and pledged their sol
emn faith to their constituents that,
if elected, they would vote for a
speedy settlement of the state debt.
But now that they have failed to
elect majority of that body, and,
consequently, United States sena-
tor, we await with great interest to
see how they are going to vote upon
this vexed question.
If the bond holders offer a fair
compromise, are they willing 10
vote with the democrats to settle, or
are they going to unite with the
low-tax democrats (whose political
faith they profess so heartily to de-
spise, save when they can use them
as cats'-paws, as they did in the cleo
ton of state officers), and prevent
any settlement of the states indebt-
edness? We wish we could think
they will do the first of these altern-
atives, but in the light of their
party's past history we can hardly
hope for such action ON their part.
They know we'll enough that, after
the state debt question is eliminated
from the politics of Tennessee, and
the democrats are once more united,
they will be in hopeless minority
in the state. Then away go all
these new-fiedged hopes of getting
entire control of the state govern
ment, and all their boosted gains
from the ranks of the democracy
will vanish into thin air.
Can they, under such cireumstan-
ces as these, be expected to rise above
party and self, and vote for the
honor and credit and prosperity OF
the state. The republican party is
the most partisan the world has
ever seen, and its history for the
last twenty-one years has proven
that it scruDles at nothing, however
mean or devoid of principle, to serve
its own selfish ends and to perpetu-
ate its power. How, then, can we
hope that the republican members
of our legislature will do that which
would be death blow to their own
political existence. 1t is folly tc
presume such a thing.
They laugh and chuckle at the
divisions in the ranks of democracy
in this state, and may be expected
to do everything in their power &c
prevent any decision of this question
and to foster more bitter animos.
ity and to widen the breach between
the two democratic parties of the
state.
Does not, then, every sentiment
of party fealty, every law of self.
preservation, urge the democrats Of
the legislature to come together and
settle the debt themselves.

A Washington special to the Gin

A Washington special to the Gin
cinnati Commercial says: 'Sena-
tor Bailey has returned from his
unsuccessful contest in Tennessee,
but cannot vote, because by coin
cidence he is paired with another
unsuccessful candidate, Mr.. Pad
dock, of Nebraska, who has not yet
come back. A gentleman who was
in Nashville four weeks, engaged
in the senatorial contest, said to-day
that it was the republicans who de-
liberately allowed themselves to be
defeated, not the democrats who
caused the failure"
In the senate last Saturday when
Mr.. Logan called up his bill to place
ex-President Grant on the retired
list of the army with a pension, SEN
ator Bailey found that the SEN
ator with whom he was paired, Mr..
Paddock of Nebraska, had not yet
returned and consequently he could
not vote. An arrangement was
made however, by which his pair
was transferred to senator Plumb
of Kansas, whose pair was absent
also, and senator Bailey planked
down a decided "nay" to Mr.. Lo-
gans bill.

CONGRESSIONAL DOINGs.

The proceedings in congress the
past week have been comparatively
dull and uninteresting. In the SEN
ate Messrs. Hamlin and Thurman
were appointed tellers for the elect
oral count meeting. In the house
of representatives, our representa-
tive, Hon. JnO. F. House, and Rep
resentative Crowley were appointed
a committee for the same purpose.
The senate and house finished the
electoral count and declared the
startling news that Garfield and Ar
thur were the lucky men.
During the week the subject of
the alleged census frauds in South
Carolina was taken up, and the let
ter of the secretary of the interior
was read. 1t was followed by a
lively personal tilt between Senators
Butler and Conkling.
