WAsWNGG0E, oct % The Tennessee
bond cases, which comprise sixteen suits
against sixteen southern railroad cor.
p0ratious, and which involve outstand-
ing bonds to the amount of 100000, were
called for argument in the United States
supreme court this afternoon. There
was an extraordinary array OF counsel
present from all parts Of tho country, in
Guiding Gov. lloadly, of Ohio; Gen.
Wager Swayne and John G.. e. Gardnc'.
OF Now YORK, Wh represented the bond
holders, and G. Il. S0uthmayO, Of Now
York; Judge Campbell, of New Orleans;
Judge East and Edward Baxter, Of
Nashville; Judge Houston, of Louis
vile; William Ramsey, of Cincinnati;
Gen. Wright aud l.. w. Humes, Of
Memphis, and p. j. Hamilton, OF Mo
bile, as representatives of the railroad
companies. Tho cases to be argued were
begun in the eastern, western and mid
Ole districts Of Tennessee in January,
1879, and were heard in May, 1850, by
the Hon. II. l.. Whitney, district Judge, at
Nashville, Tennessee. The suits were
brought by the bOndhOlders for the pur-
pose of enforcing lien on the railroads
contained in the act of the general as
sembly Of Tennessee, of February II,
1872, and known as the internal improve
mont law.
Uudor this "iuternal Improvement
law" about S25,0OO,0OO worth Of bonds OF
the state of Tennessee were issued by
the state of Tennessee to the railroad
companies who are tho defendants IN
these cases The bonds were negotiated
Ivy tha railroad companies and about
$1,000, 700 OF them are now outstanding u
the hands of holders, ALI over the world.
The bnndholdors contend that the lien
Tor the payment Of the bonds SGT forth i'm
the internal Improvement act was for
the benefit Of bondholdcrs, and that the
bonds should be declared by tho court
to be first lien on the railroads to
which the bonds were issued. The con-
lenlion Of the railroad companies on the
other hand is that the lien was for tho
benefit of tho state only. The
decision of Judge Whitney was adverse
to the bondhOldors, and from this de-
clsion thov appealed to this court in 1851.
In Wow Of the importance of the cases
the court has extended tine term for
argument to nine no RS for each aide.
Gov lloadley opened tho argument for
the bOudhOldgrS.

GENERAL HAzEN wants congress to
organize another Investigating commit
tee to ascertain whether or not some one
was to blanc for the deplorablo results
attending the two last expeditions to the
Attic ocean. From this IL may be sup
posed that GENrRAL IIAzEN either
desires TO whitewash some officials or
punish others. No good could possibly
be effected by an investigation, for what
is done is done, and II mistakes have
been committed thorough misapprehen-
sion of instructions or otherwise, no
committee can now remedy them. The
only parties to be benefited by the
formation of commission would be
the members thereof, who would receive
good salaries. The money expended by
the government in all such lnvostiga-
ting committees could be appropriated
more Judiclously in paying oil the pub
lilo debts.

THE latest argument advanced by tn
free grass organs against the lease law
is that il does not hold out inducement
to stsckmen "who fought and drove
back the savsges under great depriva
tons" What nonsense! Take the Mat
ador cattle company, composed chiefly
Of ScCtca&9I, who never saw America
let alone an Indian, and they want free
grass. The men who wont scalp hunt
ing on the trail of the red-ski MS, are not
the mon who desire these foreign syndi-
Gates to occupy the lands free of cost,
whilo they would be compelled to pay
additional taxes to school their chill
dren. The school lands will never
again be occupied by cattlemen without
an honest remuneration for the grass
upon them, and from the general tone OF
public sentiment to-day all over The
state, the prices will be greatly adj.
vanced by the next legislature.

If 1t be true. as GEN. HAzEN says in

difficult to make the people of this coun-
