Protest Against Further Reputation of
Tennessees Debt.

New YORK, Jan. 2O-The following has
been sent Governor Bate, at Nashville,
Tenn, to-day: referring to the com
munication of the 10Th ultlmo, addressed
to you by committee of the Tennessee
bondholders, copy Of which was forward
ed to the speaker of each house of the leg
isIature, we protest against the as
sumption that the compromise of last May,
pursuant to which about half the state
debt had been funded for three-ffths its
amount, and at a reduced rate of
interest for period of six years, can be
overthrown and the creditors of Tennes-
see forced by the act of its legislature to
accept half their dues and fourth of
their interest. The compromise of last
May was the second agreed upon, besides
several findings of interest and bonds in
default in former years. The bill of set
tlsment now before the legislature is no
compromise, but an attempt to coerce the
states creditors, and as such, is repugnant
to every sentiment of justice, morality and
fair dealing. twill not effect the settle
ment.

Misgovernment in Boston.

Boston has had its year OF Democracy and
Butlerism and Tuesday it will be determined
whether the orgies of party administration
for party ends are to be continued AL
though the Butler majority in the city was
greatly diminished at the State election it
was not wiped out, and we regret to say
there is no certainty that the citizens candi-
date, Gen. Martin will be chosen, Tuesday.
He is Democrat but he does not believe in
abusing, degrading and corrupting the Of
fees of municipal administration for parti-
san ends. Hugh O'Brien the regular Dem
ocratic candidate has the same idea of ofic-
ial responsibility that actuates John Kelly
in New York Boston has been for year
the quarry of interruptions politicians and
public plunderers The record is shame.
full one, SO shameful that the most desperate
means are resorted to for concealing it until
after election. Last Thursday evening the
Democratic members of the common couu-
Gil, anticipating an intent to make public
the true state of the city finances, absented
themselves, leaving the body without quo
rum. They dared not meet the inquiries
that were expected.
One of the facts that would have been
established if the meeting had been held
was that in seven months since the 3Oth
day of May the net increase of the debt of
the city of Boston is $1,7S7, 900. Appropri-
ations are already exhausted, laborers are
being discharged for the reason that there is
no money to pay them longer. There are
large extraordinary bills for junketings, not
yet reported, and the chances are that at the

end of the financial year there will be no
surplus to go over to the account of next
year,and that this years expenses cannot be
met without temporary loan. For each of
three years past the surplus has been nearly
million dollars. Last year it was Ss42, 7O5.
1t has been year of prodigal riot, such a
year as the professional bummers have new
er before had. The result is increased
debt neeessitating increased taxation.
The cowardly method employed by these
partisans to conceal their work and prevent
any exposure of the truth about the finances
OF the city, convicts them If the condition
was creditable to their wisdom and honor
they would be not only willing but glad to
have the facts known. They act as if the
citizens had bright to knowledge of what
has been done with the money paid in taxes.
and require them 10 pass judgment ON their
stewardship before they have rendered an
account OF it. 1t is an arrogance as foreign
to the idea of Democratic government as the
Democratic party is in most other respects.
But this uHwillingness TO have the truth
known about the financial condition is not
confined to the Democratic administration
In Boston. 1t char acterizes the present
Democratic administration of Portland. and
we suspect there is good reason for its
anxiety to conceal the facts.
