The tennessee Funding Act,

Under this heading the New Orlcan
Times has the suhjoncd article, to whicI
we direct the attention Of the HOME
journal readers, and especially to tho
remark that tennessee may have re
ccivcd no benefits from some Of tho
bonds for which she is liable, but if
they were legally issued she had better
| pay them. Repuliatio~ wW dannge hen
far more than the omouWt Of the dSpmed
bondS." There is world of truth i'll
this remark, and we hope the sober,
second reflection Of our people will de-
tcrminc in favor of standing by the
payment of the debt. There are some
who argue that they do not want to sad
die the debt upon coming generations.
This is all bosh. According to the Act
the debt can be paid any time after five
years, if the people wish opay it. But
no! Politicians want to keep the issue
alive, to the end that offices may be had
by ad captandum appeals and frothy
loquacity. As for oursclf, we are sick
Of the thing, and intend to say as little
as possible in the Home Journal about
it. The great mistake was i'll not ac-
cepting the 5O-4 proposition, and now
we find men who would keep us paying
6 per cent. interest and keep the public
agitated, when the debt could be settled
any time at 3 per cent. As for ourselt,
we intend to oppose all attempts that
squnt towards reputation and public
agitation. 1t seems so palpable that the
State is bound for the debt, and any eff
fort to get rid of it is ignoblc, that we
do not care to discuss the matter. Read
what the Times says:
eve hoped when the Legislature Of
Tennessee passed the funding act last
winter, authorizing the funding Of the
debt of the State at par into bonds bear
ing three per cent. interest and at the
same time making ample provision for
the payment of the interest on the bonds,
that the State had escaped the stain Of
repudiation. 1t now looks AS if that act
would be declared to be unconstituton-
AL The regulators have attacked it,
and have secured Il preliminary injunc-
ton which puts an end, for the time be
inc, to III. funding Of the debt. If the
statements in the bill on which the in
junction is basel are Correct, the fund
inc act was very loosely drawn and re-
fleets no credit on its authors. The
Tennessee regulators may succeed in
their efforts, but if they do they will
eventually regret the course they have
taken. Tennessee may have received
no benefits from some of the bonds for
which she is liable, but if they were le-
gally issued she had better pay them.
Repudation will damage her far more
than the amount of the disputed bonds.
When Mr.. Leon Chotteau, few days
ago. delivered his address before the

she never repudatcd any Of her debts.
This remark was loudly applauded,
