MALONE SHOWS HIS HAND.

The senatorial conundrum has at
last been solved by Malone sliding
mind, body and soul into the repub-
lican deadfall set for him. The cor
respondents had predicted and the
country anticipated such a step, and
yet when the news came r%ecOunting
his desertiOn of his party and the
betrayal of his sacred trust, it could
hardly be credited. By the honor
able men of each party his action
will be looked upon with disgust
and contempt, not unmingled with
regret. No one, after reading his
speech and hearing Of his vote with
the republicans in the senate last
Monday, will any longer doubt that
he has entered into IA corrupt bar
gain with the president and the
republican party, by which he be-
trays his sacred trust as a democrat
elected by democrats, and goes over
to act in concert with the republican
party. This treachery may bring
its coveted reward, a share in the
federal patronage of Virginia and
the appointment of some of his
friends to a few paltry offices under
the administration, but we seriously
doubt if he will not find after all
that he has sold his name, honor,
and the esteem of his constituents
for a mess of potage. Senator HIPS
scathing arraignment of a man who
would prove ~recreant to his people,
and ANONYMOUSLY forget the senti-
ments of the party which had o n
idingly commissioned him as their
representative, was timely, and fit
tingly suited MahOne's case. 1t was
deserved by him. That he has
shamelessly deserted his people and
their dearest wishes is conclusively
proven by his own utterances. He
has signed his own political death
warrant. He may feed and fatten
upon his short-lived distinction,
purchased at the price of his own
honor, but he will retire from the
senate at the expiration of his pres
ent term dishonOred, despised, and
stunned, not only by his own peO-
pie, but by those of the party whose
plant tool he has proved to be. The
man who betrays his trust and at
tempts to hide it under the poor ex-
cuse of Independence will find it but
a thin covering.

ALEXANDER III, THE GEAR OF
ALI THE RUSSIANS, DEAD.

The nihilists of Europe, who for
years have been endeavoring to put
an end to the life of the Emperor of
Russia, have at last succeeded i'm
perpetrating that horrid crime. AS
reported elsewhere in this issue, he
was assassinated at st. Petersburg
on last Sunday afternoon while out
driving, by two nihilists disguised
as peasants. The news flashed over
the wires and fell upon the startled
world, causing sorrow and regret.
Although the world, in the light of
the many recent attempts upon the
life of the Car, was not wholly un-
prepared to hear such news, yet,
since he had so often passed I'M
scathed through so many deep-laid
plots, and seemed to be hedged
about by some protecting divinity,
when it did come it was received
with universal sorrow and regret by
all the civilized world. 1t is said
that the Emperor himself had an
ticipated such an end, and it had
broOded so much upon his mind of
late years that his life was one of
constant apprehension and dread.
This crime will find no sympathy
in the hearts of good people in any
part of the civilized globe, and the
cause in whose name it was perpe-
trated will find no encouragement
or applause. The nihilists, by thus
destroying by the hand of an ssa
sin the man who was their ruler by
right of birth and place, have taken
u wrong step in the direction of
liberty, and will find that it will
only tighten the bonds of fancied
despotism. Nothing is ever accom-
plished by such violence. The hei-
nOusness of this crime will go very
far towards destroying whatever of
sympathy they may have created
in their behalf. No act of this kind
has ever aided the cause of liberty.
Such revenge is sorely bought, and
they have certainly done nothing
by which to escape from their fan
cied wrongs. If the Emperor at
times seemed something of the ty-
rant and de5pot, it may be laid
rather to the force of circumstances
and the people over whom he
reigned, than to the nature of the
man himself. Whatever else may
be said of him, it cannot be truly
denied that he was a nan of very
liberal and advanced views of gov
eminent. He did much to elevate
and liberalize his government, and
to place it on a plane with the pro-
gress Of other civilized nations. If
he had done no other act to entitle
him to the respect, gratitude and
protection of his people, the eman-
cipatiOn of the serfs in 1861 alone
ought to have commanded this
much.
No one can foresee the evil conse-
quences that may follow this assas-
sination. We hope the red-handed
demon of nihilism and communism
may be crushed out in Russia, and
in all other countries, wherever it
may rear its hOrrid head.

NO SENTIMENT.

1t is to be hoped that the legisla-
ture, in considering the proposition
of the bond-holders, will pay no at
tentiOn to the sickly sentimentality
about the injustice of leaving a
heavy debt upon our pOsterity.
There is nothing in such a cry. If
they will obey the wish of their
constituents and settle this ruinous
question, they need have no fear
but that posterity will willingly and
gladly shoulder their share of the
burden and be proud of their honor
able ancestors. Besides, if this in
cubus is taken from the wheels of
the states progress, pOsterity will
play but a small part in the liquida-
ton of our indebtedness. The pres
ent generation will grow so fast in
wealth and general prosperity that
not only the interest but the princi-
pie also will be paid off and rele-
gated 10 the Oblivion of the past
long before posterity has a chance to
be imposed upon. The man who
would urge such a thin excuse is an
imbecile.

THE senatorial Sphinx, Malone,
has at last spoken. On motion of
Senator Allison, last Monday, that
the senate go into executive session,
the democrats opposed and the re-
pubiicans favored it. The ayes and
noes were called, and Mr.. Malone
voted "aye" with the republicans,
which created a profound sensation,
and was followed by applause in
the galleries. This vote is regarded
as conclusive that Mahone's inten-
ton is to vote with the republicans.

THE COurier-JOurnal, comment
ing on our state debt and the recent
proposition of the bond-holders for
a settlement, says:
Tennessee has now an opportunity
to settle the debt on terms highly
honorable to her and satisfactory to
her creditors. Only a few days ago
the president of the United States
vetoed a bill to fund the national
debt in three per cent. bonds, and
now the creditors of Tennessee offer
to take new bonds bearing three per
cent. The state, by accepting this
proposition, would have to impose
a tax of about fifty cents OH the 800
or the present valuation of property,
which is ludicrously small, amount
ing ouly to $211, 76S, 43S. AS we
have said, the Courier-JournaI does
not seek to force its opinion on the
people of Tennessee; it advocates
the adoption of no special bill or
rate. We ask merely that the pres
ent legislature carry out the instruc-
lions which it has received from the
people, to settle the whole debt
question on the best possible terms,
once for all. As compared to other
investments, a three per cent. Ten
neSSee bond would have a market
value of little more than fifty cents,
but the state would not be guilty of
reputation, and it seems to be a
liberal proposition to come from
creditors. Some objection Is urged
against making the coupons receiv-
able for taxes; this is mere tritiing.
If the state intends to live up to the
new obligations, there a be no
possible objection TO making the
coupons receivable for taxes, as it
would be just the same to collect the
taxes and pay the coupons as in
the first place to receive the coupons
for taxes. To refuse this is to say
tive mean ultimately to repudiate
these new bonds" This objection
surely will not cause the defeat of
the new proposition, We believe
Tennessee means to pay its debt /;
the sooner it is done the better for
the state in all of its concerns, the
better for the south, the better for
the democratic party. 1t would be
a real calamity if this legislature
should adjourn and leave this ques-
ton still unsettled. '

WE are glad to see that some
action is being taken by the legisla-
ture in regard to the removal of the
penitentiary from Nashville, or at
least outside of the city corporation.
The chairman of the house commit
tee upon the subject held a confer
ence with the mayor and a commit
tee from the city council and the
health officer of that city on last
Tuesday, and the matter was thor
oughly discussed. Though nothing
definite was arrived at, it was gene
rally conceded that the health of
the unfortunate inmates, and the
cause of humanity itself, demanded
its speedy removal and enlargement
to proper proportions. This is a
matter which does not concern
Nashville alone, but the whole
state, and we hope to hear that the
legislature has decided upon its re-
mOval.

THE party of ''high moral princi-
ples' will find that it has gained
but little in the end by its bargain
with Malone. The republican party
of Virginia honored itself, and de-
monstrated to the world that it had
a loftier idea of political honesty
and policy than Conkling, Logan,
Hoar and the other leaders of the
party. when it protested against any
utilization or bargain with Malone,
or any man who was the leader of
reputation, or the representative of
principles they ~professed to despise.
Let it be recorded that it was Ma
hone & Co. who have perpetrated
this fraud, with the republican party
for the company.
