NASHVILLE, February S.-Ibc message
OF Governor Bate was read before the Le-
gislaturc this afternoon. The greater por-
lion Of it refers to the settlement OF the
state debt. The Governor says that the
pavment Of the interest on bonds funded
under sixty and six act, together with the
late defalcation, has left the treasury COM
paratiyely empty. He maintains that none
Of the five funding acts grew out Of
the expression OF the popular will,
nor were they acquiesced in by the people
after their passage. The people seeing the
constant and systematic efforts to foist
upon them laws touching the State debt,
and witnessing the schemes and practices
OF corrupt speculators and lobbyists who
were preying upon the crippled credit OF
Tennessee, took the matter in their hands
and for the first time expressed their will
through the ballot-boX last November 10
tender terms of settlement TO creditors
which every disinterested, right-thinking
man must regard as Just TO all concerned.

Tho Tomnernnce ouestIon.

Neal Dow, the great apostle of prohibition,
has written a, long letter to the New York
Sm in reply to an article denying that pro-
hibition has prohibited in Maine. He de-
scribes the difficulties under which liquor is
sold in that state, and evidently thinks that
he knows the doft ways of the rumseller.
But he don't. He has no idea how easily and
constantly the law is evaded in the cities of
tho state. We are assured that the man who
dares to smell as though he had taken a
drink of whisky can get it about as easily in
the city of Portland as he can get a handker-
chief with which to wipe his lips afterward.
The best evidence Gen. Dow can give of the
progress of temperance in his state is not
in tho difficulty with which drinks
can be had there because of the prohibitory
aw,but in the reluctance with which respecta-
bic men take drink notwithstanding the ease
with which It can be obtained. There Is GER
tainly very strong and positive public opin-
ion in Maine against the use Of Intoxicating
liquors, and this opinion is not braved by the
average self-respecting citizen of the trading
and professional classes Young bloods, re-
bellious sons, and ultra-indepondent dehers
of the prevailing customs, with many others,
some of whom cannot withstand temptation,
and some who cannot be injured by
having the reputation of drinkers-these
are the customers of tho 1162 rumsellers
of Maine. Prohibition has missed its highest
aim, but it has accomplished more than has
yet been done by any other method Of making
drinking disreputable. 1t has placed under
the ban what is a social custom wherever the
law is silent 1t has arrested the steps of
many thousands of young men who would
have been drunkards if on every corner they
could have given or accepted an invitation to
" take drink" The best way to discuss this
liquor question is from the premise that the
free and unrestrained sale of liquor
is an evil of much graver magnitude
than would be the danger to liberty which
would follow reasonable restraints and con-
ditions upon the traffic. If prohibition is
fanatcisn, it is but the exaggerated express
sion of the combined fear and hatred Of that
enemy, which men put in their mouths to
steal away thoir brains.
Erasmus told the pope that he had better
answer Martin Luther than ex-communicate
him. Perhaps the men of affairs who despise
prohibition, and who toss it carelessly aside
with contemptuous phrase deprecatory of
sumptuary laws, as well as the liquor dealers
they seem to speak in awe of, would do we'll
to devise and vigorously apply some other
remedy for the great national vice if they
would avert tho extreme measure they so
much abhor,

tor. The capitalists Of the north must send
his agent TO tho producer, purchase the
raw material, pay for it's transportation for
long distance, manufacture IL, and roship
IL to the consumer, besides being obliged to
employ travelling salosmon to successfully
compete with his young and vigorous rival
Not only with the heavy and coarser fabrics
are the southern manufacturers entering the
arena of competition, but they are turning
out somo Of the finest and most delicate work
Of which the material is capable, and are offer
ing their goods at prices which are provocative
of no little discomfort and some alarm to their
northern competitors.
This state of affairs can be productive only
Of good. 1t may work temporary embarrass-
ment to the older firms and decrease their
annual revenue TO an appreoiable degree, but
cannot result in anything like tho panic
which some have predicted The rapid in
crease of population in the south, west, and
northwest must result in demand for moro
goods, thus creating legitimate field for new
enterprises. The similarity of the interests
of the sections will be productive of a SINH
larity of political views which will
bring about more peaceful relations than
could otherwise be superinduced. Compe-
tition will give to the public cheaper
prices, so that the many will reap tho advan-
tage. Antagonisms will be lost sight of in
the unanimity of the purpose to protect
American labor from the mendicant laborers
and serfs of Europe. Honest toll will bring
forth honest thought. The dynasty of aris-
tocraey which fed upon the life blood of unre-
Quilted slaves will be relegated to oblivion. Tho
conflict of arms but blazed the pathway of
civilization to make way for the in .ustral
conflict now begun, which will complete tho
emancipation of our entire country. North
and south will soon be indissolubly bound to.
gether by the power of the genius of labor.

The Right Kind OF Republican.

NetO York Commercial AdUcftiIeT.
A number Of our contemporaries seem to be
somewhat exercised over the Commercials atti-
tude to the "harmonizers" Of the republican
party. Departing from its usual custom 1t will be
personal for the nonce. The Commercial believes
in the republican party; 1t believes that any
kind of a republican is better than the finest
democrat who can be trotted out; 1t believe in
regularity-the will of tho majorlty-and will
never be found opposing candidate regularly
nominated bya republican convention. This
may be "subserviency to the machine" hide.
bound politics" &C., but that is the kind of re-
publican the editor of this paper is. He will
speak his mind on all occasions, and will support
the republican party every time. If there is any
reform to be accomplished he will be for accom-
plishing 1t inside and outside the party. He don't
believe in giving the democrats the offices. The
"organs OF harmony" need not alarm themselves
over this paper-it will always be found on the
side Of the republican party.

A BRAVE BLUE JACKET.
Jumping Overheard 10 Rescue Seaman
in Bay Full OF Sharks.
Neto York Herald.


The crew of the United States steamer Pow
hatan was being exercised ON the twenty-first
of last month while she was lying off Port au
Prince, and during the exercises q petty Off
Ger fell from the yards. His body struck one
of the guns and shot through tho portfolio
into the sea. Tho quartermaster, who was on
deck at the time, Immediately sprang over
board and brought the body alongside. II
was hauled up, but the poor petty officer was
found to be dead, the shock of the fall ON the
deck having evidently killed him before the
body fell into the water.
The captain of vessel which arrived from
Port au Prince yesterday, in describing what
he had heard concerning the sad accident,
says that the quartermaster was sent for by
the commander of tho Powhatan after the
body of the petty officer had been taken out
of tho water,.and that n Colloquy substan-
TALLY as follows took place:
"Do you know the risk you ran in jump
ing overboad?" the commander asked.
''But little risk, sir, think; Pm good
swimmer"
"But did you know that the vessel has
been all day surrounded by sharks?"
"I did, sir"
Sand yet you went overboard?"
az thought might save a life, sir"
hatan will no doubt have an honorable men
tion of the brave quartermaster The mer-
chant captain who reports the incidents mar
rated above adds that the man who was
killed was buried with military honors, the
remains being escorted to the cemetery by n
guard of marines, and the Catholic bishop and
his attendants being in attendance in their
robes of office. The name of the dead man
was not ascertained by the merchant captain.

American Interests at Panama.

The interests of the United States on the
solicitude. The unfortunate apathy of our
government when tho Dc Lesseps Canal COM
pany secured its franchise from the govern
ment Of Colombia may yet bring unwhole.

Hayos's secretary Of the navy of an important
salaried position under that company resent

ment of our government in future French
occupation of the isthmus. The operations
of the canal company have caused a rivalry
between Jamaica negroes and natives which
has led to serious riots, which the government
of Colombia has been unable for want of
money to meet with sufficient force. The
company offers to pay tho expense of an ade-
quate police if it can be allowed to officer
and control it, That would be equivalent to
French protectorate. The isthmus, which
is now one of our routes to the Pacific, cannot
be allowed to pass under the control of French
force without a waiver of our often avowed
policy. If VIC can consent to run tho French
gauntlet at Panama, why not the English in
Nicaragua? Then what is left of our much
vaunted Monroe doctrine and its logical addi-
tions.
1t the interests of French subjects are at
tackled on the isthmus, and the government
there confesses its inability to protect them
unaided, the French government may insist
that the necessary aid be invoked. Then it
would seem to be in order for Uncle Sam to
protect the French Canal company from
riotous negroes-the subjects of Great Brit
ain-and to resist the demand of the British
government for an equal say with him in
any action connected with an interoceanic
canal In short, as without remonstrance,
the United States government saw this
great work projected, permitted by the Co.
lombian government, and commenced, it
must now choose whether to aid that govern
ment in preserving order or see it done by a
European power--anarchy in not admissible.
From whence shall come tho protectorate? ?
This question may have to bo answered very
| soon
