THE EXTRA SESSION. .

The Governor proclamation
calling an extra session of the Ten
nessee Legislature, appeared in the
CHRONICLE of yesterday morning.
Under the constitution, called SEES
sion can continue only twenty days,
and legislation can be had only upon
the questions specified in the Gov>
ernor's proclamation. One can read
lily see enough is specified in the call
to make this session of the
Legislature an exceedingly busy
one. Some of the matters
upon which legislation is asked
are simple and may be quickly dis
posed OF, while others are very i'm,
portant, and call for the exercise OF
wisdom and good Judgment.
Redistricting this State into Cons
gressional districts, will require
time, and to do it fairly, as we pre-
sumo will be done, no little work
The districts should be formed with
a view to equality in population and
compactness in form.
But the most important questions

Peterson Brothers, Philadelphia.
Price, IS cents.
DIR. Lincoln, so the story goes,
was once persuaded to hear a young
man read lecture he had prepared
for public delivery. When the
reader had finished, he asked his dis
tinguished listeners opinion of the
production. For those who want
such a lecture, replied Mr.. Lincolo,
"this is just the thing that will suit
them" We have read this book en-
tirely through, and for the life of US,
we cannot see why it was written; or
when written, why it was published !;
or why it should, when published, be
bought; or, when bought, why it
should be read.
1t is incredible that any one should
feel an interest in the corruption and
profigacy of the Second Empire
If, however, there are any such,
this book is .''just the thing that will
suit them.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM CHIEF EN-
GINEER MELVILLE.

The letter below, written by Chief
Engineer Melville, to his wife, just
before sailing from San Francisco,
nearly three years ago, has just been
published. 1t shows the Jeanette
to have been utterly unfit for SO per
ilous voyage as she undertook to
the northern seas, aud that at least
one who was a competent judge,
never expected her to return:
SAN Francisco, July 6, 1879.
DEAR HErT1E: We are about to
be off, and everything is nearly
ready. This is the last letter [ will
be able to send until we part from
the convoy. I was disappointed
when saw what the Jeanette was,
and | knew at once she would never
do for such voyage. They have
been doing what they could to make
her better, but I don't think it will
be of use. The Tigress was bad
enough, but the Jeanette is much
worse. l have left nothing undone
to provide against what | see is
ahead of us, but l am not man to
back out at time like this after going
SO far. l would go even if l was
certain we would never get back.
Some of US may weather it, but I
am sure the Jeanette will never
come back. She would never stand
the ice. We are to take some Es-
quimaux on board, one of them a
woman, who is to mend our gloves
and do other necessary service on
board. There will be forty dogs for
our sleds. have gotten all l think
need, and had to pay six dollars
each for the understands and drawers,
because we had to get them thick
and the very best. II anything haps
pens, [ will stand it as well as any
And now, God bless you and the
babies, and goodbye until you hear
from your faithful husband,
GEORGE w. MELVILLE
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-03-18

to be determined is that of
providing for the security of
the revenue now in the treas
ury, and to modify the tax laws so as
to stop the collection of taxes not now
required to pay interest on the State
debt. In view of the decision of the
Supreme Court, it is pretty generals
ly conceded, now, that the State debt
can only be settled by the act of
constitutional convention. Such q
convention will not be held until
next wear, and no interest will be
paid on the debt before July, 1883.
So it is unnecessary to collect
State tax for that purpose.
before the regular session OF the next
legislature, and if there were no
other reasons for a called session,
this one makes it imperative. 1t
may not be necessary to collect a
State tax at all this year. The funds
now IN the treasury are sufficient to
meet all demands against the State,
it is thought by many If it is nec>
essary to levy State tax at all, the
rate need not be high-not more
than ten cents on one hundred dol>
lars OF taxable property.
There are other very important
questions to be considered, among
them the amendment of existing
laws touching the assessment of rail
road property; the amendment of
the law SO as to more efficiently pro-
vide for the assessment and collec>
ton OF back taxes; looking to q
provision for the relief of litigation
on the Supreme Court dockets, etc.
This will be one of the most impor-
tant extra sessions of the Legislature
ever held in the State.

REPUTATION Is ROBBERY.

In these days when solemn ap-
peals are being made to State~credit
Democrats to compromise with repu-
diation Democrats, it is we'll to bear
in mind the obvious meaning of I'M
ambiguous acts. Turn and twist as
you may, settlement of the State
debt upon terms not agreed to by
the creditors of the State, is repu-
distion. The face of the bonds
specifies how much we owe; When.
ever we say to our creditors, Eve will
pay you one-half the amount
of your bonds and reduce the rate
OF interest one-half, take that or
nothing" it is reputation just as
positive and emphatic as if we were
to say, eve viii pay you nothing"
And Reputation, in this case,
stripped of everything which con-
ceals the naked truth, is simply rob
berry. Under the technicalities of
the law, no way has been found
to collect from us what we owe, and
therefore we do not pay. The law
permits us to rob our creditors, and
disreg arding the obligations, of the
moral law, which teaches lessons of
honesty and integrity, we boldly
assume the role of robbers and
thieves That is all there is in it.
Ii, in the sight of God, robbery is a
crime, then every man in Tennessee
who gives aid, countenance or en-
enlargement to reputation is guilty
Of that crime just as dis
tinctly as if he were to put
q pistol to bis fellow>mans
breast and command him to stand
and deliver" And if our people
mean to stand guiltless before honest
men and q just God, they must
arouse themselves and defeat and
completely overthrow that class of
politicians who are trying to commit
the State to the infamous policy of
robbery and reputation.
