TIE GoYERHORs MESSAGE.

4A6 wv Inv In a N A@CCA16.
Gov. Bates first message was sent
to the legislature on the 8th. 1t is
as long and tedious as one of Van
Buren's long forgotten State papers
But we will do it the justice to say
it is less ambiguous and foxy in its
recommendation than the cunning
that usually marked the messages of
the sage Of Undertook The great
err portion of il refers to the State
debt. We no more endorse its rec
concentrations for that settlement
than we endorse the June platform.
But we have 20 doubt they will be
carried out to the full intent by the
legislature. And washing our hands
of the dishonor brought about and
the injustice done, we patiently bide
the results of the bill. We make such
extracts from the message as are of
most general interest. The Gov
ernor starts out with
AN EMBARRASSING QUESTION.
The auspices under which you
have met as Legislators are hopeful,
yet gravely embarrassing, because,
among other things, of the State
debt question with which you are
to grapple. This embarrassment
has been increased, since your as
sembling, by the official defalcation
of Treasurer NJ. Il. Polk to the ex-
tent, according to the report of an
investigating committee, of $685.
900, which together with the pay
ment of S12O, 900, as interest on the
bonds so recently funded under the
law known as the "60-6 Act" has
left us with a comparatively empty
treasury. Tennessee is embarrass-
ed by an onerous debt, and her peo-
pie are poor. The past is full of f.
nancial error that will require time
and wise Legislation to correct. You
and / knew, when elected to our re-
spective places, that our task was
difficult and our trust delicate. We
have assumed the duty in good
faith, and must perform it with un-
wavering fidelity. We owe to Ten
nessee, in this her hour of troubles,
our full energies and best efforts to
relieve her hOnorably and Justly, if
we can. That her good name has
been traduced and her credit affect
ed is true. But those who under
stand the history of our situation
the antecedehts and immediate sur
motive which actu-
ated her people, and their efforts to
accomplish that which is Just and
no word of unkind crit
icism for us. Regardless of what
may be said by those, and their sat
tellites, who have been preying on
our misfortunes for their own gain,
and who never hesitate at uncon-
advantage, let us be equal |
10 the occasion and do justice alike |
10 taxpayer and creditor in execut-
ng the peoples will, by paying all
hat we believe we justly owe, and
adjusting that in dispute.
This kind of record will turn SIAN
Ter into shame and defy the crucial
est Of time.
After briefly relating the five acts
Intended to fund the Indebtedness,
10 one of which, he says, "seems to
AVE grown out of an expression of
he will of the people, or was acqui-
seed in by them after passage" he
ontinues:
The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1883-02-14
THE PEoPLE's PRoposITIoN.

The people of Tennessee seeing
constant and systematic efforts to
foist upon them laws touching the
State Indebtedness that were unjust
and distasteful, and having witness
ed with regret and modification the
schemes and p actices of corrupt
spectators and lobbyists, as they
heartlessly preyed upon the Grip
pied credit of the State, took the
matter in their own hands, as they
ought and had a right to do, and
for the first time have expressed
their will through the ballot box,
on the 9TH of last November, to ten
der terms of settlement of our in
debtedness to the creditors of the
State, which, under all the circum-
stances, every disinterested and
right thinking man must regard as
just and honorable to all parties
concerned.
Then follows a long and weari-
some treatise upon the various
kinds of bond that go to make up
the debt, and the usual hair splitting
to show what is debt proper and
what improper. As to the debt
proper he says:
The first nine classes of bonds
enumerated by the act of 1879, ag-
gregating s2,11S, 900, constituted the
State debt proper of Tennessee.
These authoritative statements have
never been officially modified or
questioned; they have been accept
ed and acquiesced in, and the Estate
debt proper" as known to the peo-
pie of Tennessee, and recognized by
them, exclusive of unpaid interest
since July, 1875, does not, in my
opinion, exceed s2,1lS,00O.
Some of these $2,1lS, 900 of bonds
were funded under the act of 1873,
and few of them have been fund
ed, as it is asserted, under the act
of 1882. Less than one-half (it is
believed about $900,000) are out
standing in their original form, and
while most of them bear interest at
the rate of per cent. a part are 81,
aud others per cent. per annum.

The following words are from a lee
ture delivered at Aberdeen, Dakota,
February 28th, by Hon. B. Z. Hutchi-
son, receiver of the land Office:
''Men who have no moral right to
keep such places (saloons) they should
have no leagal right. The question is
not whether liquor ever do good, or
whether any man can use them to adj
vantage, or without harm. But it is
the fact with which we should deal. The
saloon, it is everywhere. As. an institu-
ton raign it. and call upon public
opinion to put it away. Its chief Of
tense is that it tempts those least able
to results, and assaults those least able
to defend themselves. 1t would scarce
ly be safe to throw a piece of poisoned
meat to pet dog within reach of its
masters fist. A man shields his
daugter as the apple of his eye. Her
assassin falls under the swift following
vengeance of the fathers arm; and ev-
cry jury on the planet will throw Itself
as a solid wall 'twixt him and home.
But this young son-as innocent, as IN
suspecting, as defenseless, may be lured
to destruction Of body and soul, under
sanction of law. Who knows but a
father what a son tsp In him he sees
himself renewed; not his old self, sill

with hopes unrealized, with friendships

Between the Departments OF Penn
sylvanin, New York, and Kansas
there promises to close and exciting
contest for the honor Of heading the
the roll at tue next National Encarnp-
ment Pennsylvania is at present in
the van with over thirty thousand
members and about tree hundred
ana eighty Posts. New York comes
next wit over four hudred Posts and
nearly, # not quite, $4,000 members
only q thousand Cor two less than
the membership in Pennsylvania.
Kansas, according to the report of its
noble Department Commander, Tom
Anderson, now numbers 5000 COM
rades and $50 Post. At first sight, it
might appear that the latter's chase
was hopeless, but it should be remem-
bered, first, that her activity in re-
cruiting is greater than that Of any
other Department; and. second, that
the field is fresher and larger.
During the last year the member
ship has been more than doubled, yet
there are still fully seventy thousand
ex-soldiers in this state to be mustered
in. It is evident, therefore, since
Kansas has soldier population of
100, 900, as shown by the recent census,
that it is only question of time and
work to bring that Department to the
head OF the Grand Army column, and
as General Anderson seems to thor
oughly understand and appreciate the
situation, the biggest sort Of results
may be expected from the labor OF
himself and his associates. But wheth-
er he wins the contest or not, it is a
noble rivalry to be engaged in, and all
.hree of the competitors are deserving
Of honor for the grand work they are
doing.

A. S. Walker. Presiding; j. P. Hart, Clerk.
The case of Eanes and wife VS.. the
water works company was still on
trial yesterday. The suit is for dam
ages for the drowning of PLAINTIFFS
little son, seven years of age by fall
ing into the reservoir of the water
works in a pril 1882. 1t will probably
reach argument to-day.
Judge Walker rendered his decis-
ion in the matter of the injunction
sought by the old gas company to re-
strain the new company from eXer-
cising the privileges lately granted to
the new company by the city council.
The decision refusing The Injunction
is as follows being of the opinion
that the city authorities did not have
the power by contract to
part with the right and
duty of the city government to con-
troll the use of the streets for the
purposes such duty was imposed, 1T
Is HELD, that the contract, under
which the plaintiff holds, to the ex-
tent that it attempts to confer the
exclusive privilege of using the
streets, for It's business and the conse-
quent monopoly in making and sup
plying gas to the city, was without
authority of law; and against the
defendant if acting under license
from the city authorities, the contract
cannot be enforced. This Injunction
is therefore refused.

son to Coney Island, Rockaway
beach, Fort Lee, West Point on
the Hudson. Fishing Banks, Glenn
Island, and other places on Long
Island Sound and the Hudson.
A ride of forty miles on the sound, or
down the bay, or ride by boat up
the Hudson, sixty miles and more and
return, costs but fifty cents, and
affords the most pleasant recreation.
On each steamer is band of music,
and refreshments are to be had in the
greatest variety, but many take their
own lunch with them. The boats
begin running,at nine in the morning.
and make several trips during the
day, the last boat reaching New York
about IL at night. Some of the
larger boats carry 5000 people, and
when so loaded and beautifully deco
rated with flags and evergreens, they
present charming picture as they
go plowing through the center of the
deep river. For the next three
months these excursions will present
tempting attractions, which thou
sands, almost millions of people will
be eager to enjoy. On Wednesday,
decoration daV, excursion tickets to
New Haven, seventy-two miles from
New York, up Long Island Sound,
are offered for fifty cents. A ride
of 144 miles on the water and within
sight of land for half a dollar is a trip
that grown up city people are anx-
iOus to avail themselves of. There is
some very beautiful scenery on both
sides of the sound, and the country is
generally well settled. The scenery,
OF course, is not equal to that along
the Hudson, but it presents many
novel charms, and the salt air is a
good tonic. New York, perhaps, pre-
sents more facilities for health-giVing
recreations during the summer than
any city on the continent.

THE pope has made a great mis-

informed New y ork Evening Post,
in turning the guns of the vatican
upon the Irish movement. 1t notes
that "those bishops and priests, in
fact. who have ventured to hold aloof
from the agitation or denounced it.
have been rudely reminded one
instance by half the congregation
rising and leaving the church-that
the good old days of clerical, power
in Ireland were gone;' and that
the Irish priests, in taking part with
the Parnellites, are, therefore, beyond
DIT doing what is best for the
church under the the circumstances" !"

A CORRESPONDENT writes to the
New York World as follows: A pro-
tectiye tariff means favoritism, prohi-
bitiOn. monopoly. The Constitution
SAYS: "a tariff may be collected on
imports to pay the. debts and provide
for the common defense and general
welfare of the United States" s"-pro-
tective tariff not mentioned. Mr..
Madison, the expounder, in applying
the practical workings of this consti-
tntional tariff, said: The whole sub
iect of tariff is compressed into
revenue; the object, incidental
encouragement (not protection)
to home Industries; the Incl
dent discriminating between articles
of luxury and necessity. so as to put
the burden on luxury; all duties
moderate. so as to not shackle trade
or agriculture. The Democratic
platform. based on fundamental law
and principles, should therefore read:
! "A constitutional tariff, discrilninat-
q between articles Of luxury and
<elessity. arranged to foster trade,
Industries and agriculture equitably. =
" those who harp on 4free trade
csa thonf1fs are commended.
