out by the late Treasurer was from
funds not collected for that purpose,
but of funds previously in the treas
ury. The governor maintains that
none of. the five funding acts grew
out of an expression of popular will,
nor were they acquiesced in by the
people after passage. The people,
seeing the constant and systematic
efforts to foist upon them laws
touching the state debt, and wit
Messing the schemes and practices
of corrupt spectators and lobbyists
preying upon the crippled credit of
Tennessee, took the matter into
their own hands, and for the first
time expressed a will through the
ballot-box last November to tender
terms of settlement to our creditors,
which every disinterested, right
thinking:.man must regard just to all
concerned. The duty of the state
| is to tender a settlement and let
each creditor act upon it as he
deems best.
THE CREATION OF THE DEBT,
and states that $14, 100000 of bonds
were issued to railroads immedI-
ately after the war, when a majority
of the citizens were DISTINGUISHED,
and it is a part of the published
history in connection with the issu-
ance of these bon1s that the pur-
clasers were put upon their guard
as to dealing in Tennessee securi
ties. The evidence of previous in
vestigation shows that many bonds
were Issued Wfongfully. The de-
yastation of war, the usurpation and
misrule of the state government, the
tardy recuperation therefrom, the
doubtful authority of state govern
ents which issued certain of these
bonds have been recognized and
acted on by holders of other south
ern securities as just and equitable
for the abatement of the amount of
the debt, and the governor doubts if
this class Of Indebtedness can be
settled upon more liberal terms than
those proposed by Tennessee. In
accordance with the will of the peo-
pie, he therefore suggests the tender
of a settlement of the state debt
proper in full, less war interest, at
the same interest as the original
bond; also those held by educa-
tional and charitable institutions,
and the Twenty-Five bonds of Mrs.
Polk. He suggests that the re-
mainder or contingent debt be set
tied at fifty cents on the dollar,
principal and interest, and to bear
interest at three per cent.

jected on the second reading
Senator Edmundson, after voting
against the motion to reject, said:
Mr.. Speaker: I vote against the
motion to reject senate bill No. 200
on the second reading because it is
so unusual for such action on any
bill on such reading, especially
when couched in such respectful
language as this is. 1 regard this
action as discourteous to the hon
orable senator who introduced it.
1 certainly however would not vote
for it on on the third or final read
ing. The bill only proposes, how
ever, to open the courts of the
country to those bonds and |
only such that shall be declared |
fraudulent or spurious; and the
question for the courts the author
of the bill proposes to decide is the

Two men came to Nashville last

Two men came to Nashville last
Thursday night in a wagon from
Brentwood, hiring a negro to drive
them. They were well dressed and
had heavy valises. They drove to
a saloon and got some whisky and
then went direct to the Louisville
depot and bought tickets for Louis
vile and went in a sleeper. Their
appearance and movements excited
suspicion and they were arrested
and in their valises was found all
the treasures recently taken from
the Birmins ham post-office. They
were named Lambert and Simpson
and they stayed in Nashville sew
eral months last year and were quite
popular with the bloods. They
had a set of burglars tools. Yam
