One of these is a railroad on the line ol' thc thiriy secoud parallel, and cognate railroad schemes; another, thc rccoastruetioa of tho Mississippi levees; ano: her, thc line of steamers from Norfolk to the Mediterranean ports, which, besides cap? turing thc commerce o.r Southern Esropo, is ex? pected to causon large immigration to Virginia and thc Southern states. President Grant is said to ravor this line, and to take much int crest in the subject or the Mediterranean commerce. Another Une strougly urged is between New Orleans and the Mexican ports ou the Guir. lt is stated that while thc commerce of the United States with Mexico ls only $8.70U,O-JO, that of Great Britain ls $33,400,000, thc result ur her steamship lines, and that nearly thc whole or this could be diverted to New Orleans aud New York, u ls noteworthy in this connection, that Southern politicians are no longer averse to the extension or national aid to measures or commercial development, and that they mean to claim ror their section thc same favor that li is already been given to enterprises more immediately, beneficial to thc Nom?. Thc old State Bights mea who formerly relused B.jv. ernment aid, have accepted the new situation, and mon of th?tn say they want a fair share or ?hegood things that are going around." -The reading or Richardson's gushing love letter to his "darling" Abby, at the McFarland trial on Friday, creped the greatest excitement among the spc-tators, and they lnvolunuid'y crowded neuer the reader, manirestlng an in? tense desire to citeh every word. Thc court room was remarka >'v quiet, ld nothing contd be heard save the ri.iglng tones of thc cnn re"? v?i-e. as he emphasire 1 every word oi thc- i extraordinary cpisib. He did not read lt lmr- I rledlv, Wut slowly and deliberately, and as he went over sentence alter sentence of thc letter, he wooli* ever and anon stop for a short time and loot steadily at the jury, as if to study the effect on them of what he was reading. To say that the jury looked dumbfounded would not give thc iaintest idea or tito expression or utter as? tonishment which the countenance or every ono of them wore when the reading was Mulshed. The sensation the letter produced on thc audi? ence was utterly indescribable. As the hideous facts were disclosed, the prisoner went, although it was evident that ho exested his utmost to re? press his reelings. He bowed bis head in his hands when was read that part of the letter revealing the rac: tba: "long years" before he ha l ever dreamed or the blow that was to rall upon him, there was an under-current even then that was destined to carry away from him those he loved above all elsa on earth. Although little Percy, sot quite understanding why his rather was so cast down, endeavored to attract his attention by taking hold or his hand and tugging at lt In a child sh sort or way. he paid uo atteution to him, and sat immovable as a statue, with his bead burled iu his hands all the while. Promise and Performance. If tho financial secrets of the present State Government could now be laid bare, as, at no distant day, they assuredly will be, the people would with one voice demand that waste and extravagance should cease, and that our public affairs should bc con? ducted, as of old, with honesty, economy and efficiency. In due time the transactions of thc Land Commission, of the Financial Agency at New York, of thc Bureau of Ag? ricultural Statistics, and other kindred insti? tutions, will bc exposed and explained, and then only will it bc known how far thc State has been plunged into debt by these three years of reckless spending. The facts and ligures wbicl-: the State otlicials make pub? lic, and whose correctness cannot be gain? said, arc interesting rcadiug, all thc same: for oven they show that tito one great need of tho State-for merchant and mechanic artisan and laborer, poor and rich, gentle and simple-is that honest, intelligent, aud frugal government, which can only bc ob? tained by thc triumph at the polls of the CITIZENS' REFORM PARTY. In his report submitted to the Legislature in October 31, 1868, thc Comptroller-Gene? ral, himself a Radical, submitted his esti? mate of thc amount of money which would be needed for carrying on tuc State Govern? ment during thc year ending October 31st, 1SC9. This estimate was carefully prepared, and was "deemed sufficient (by the Comp? troller-General) to pay tlte current expenses "of the State Government." Comparing this estimate of what was "deemed sufficient" for thc year ending October 31, 1869, with tho amount actually spent during that pe? riod, thc taxpayers may see for themselves how far the present, government fulfils its promises, and husbands the resources of thc Slu.c: What should What actually have been was spent ! spent !

This, however, is chiefly thc case with tho Lunatic Asylum and the Deaf, Dumb and Blind. These charities are stinted, in order that arrears ot interest may be paid-not for thc advantage of the people, but for the benefit of speculators in and out of office. In addition to thc amounts already set down, tho following sum3 were spent for which the Comptroller-General made no es? timate at all: Not ot ?mated tor but spent. Elections.$ 24,831 Five Schools. 39,023 Printing. 13.811 Militia. 2,990 County School Commissioners. 13.791 Transient Poor. 12,050 Committee of Investigation 3d Congres? sional district. io,2si State Orphan Asylum. 5,657 Fining np Statehouse. 20,793 Anns and Ammunition. 1,012 Census Takers. 48,324 $192,024 To some of these amounts no objection can be made; but what will be said of the S10.00? paid for investigating the condition of the Third Congressional District, the $13,000 for printing, the $20,000 for the Slatchonse, und their like? Grouping thc different amounts together, it is found that the estimates for the year, under the specified heads, were 5777,390, and the actual expenditures wore 31,296,752. The expenses of the year were more than HALF A MILLION DOLLARS in eXCeSS Of the amount, which Comptroller-General Nearie "deemed sufficient" for tho expenses of the year. Is there needed tiny stronger argument for the CITIZENS' PARTY-for RETRENCHMENT and REFORM ?_ T2?c Pacts of the Case. Governor Seiner, of Tennessee, is unable to satisfy either of the advocates or thc op poneuta of more Congressional interference willi the State of Tennessee, but lie promises that if Federal soldiers are placed under his control he will maintain peace. The truth of the case seems to be that Tennessee is in a disturbed and distracted condition, the re? sult not of political feeling, but of the gene? ral demoralization caused by the war, the Damerons'private feuds which survived it, and the anomalus condition of society dur? ing the social and political changes of the last few years. Whatever the number of lawless acts, the "rebel" suffers a3 often as the "loyal" man. Botli classes enjoy a prac? tical immunity from the consequences of crime; both classes make laws and break them, and both classes, with few exceptions, repudiate any further meddling by Congress r. iih Hie concerns or their State. The accoiuits which come to us from Washington of the condition of Tennessee are too highly colored to i.<? worthy of con ?'tenco, but thc following extracts from thc letter of a correspondent of the New York Evening Post appear to contain the gist of the facts of the case: '.I hare endeavored to give fairly the state? ment of each side, that it maybe seen how difficult it is for one at the North to under? stand our real condition. So thoroughly par? tisan, on one side or thc other, arc most of thc reports sent from the State, that we somet imes despair of being correctly understood. Now, though it would bo very unsafe to follow either of thc above statements, neither one is altogether untrue. That in Tennessee, Union mcu, or Northern men, or colored men, as a class, are unsafe In life or property ls utterly untrue. That they arc ever murdered or out? raged, as belonging to any of these classes, is either a very foolish or a very wicked false? hood. Thus, n statement has been made on thc floor of Congress that all thc Union men in one ol the districts of this county had been notified to leave, and that one had been mur? dered already. It was false, of courso. But when we are told that human life in Tennessee is perfectly or even tolerably protected by the law, one cannot but demur. Murders and out? rages arc not invented by politicians, though their causes may be misstated for party ends. That these occurrences have been unpleasant? ly frequent during the past few months is no? torious, and our people have depl ored lt. It ls a matter which afreets ali classes and all parties. The trouble does not arise from any rebellious spirit, aa our Radicals delight to be? lieve, but lies far deeper than that. It. eau be traced back to the days of slavery, when the law protected property, btu left life to the individual. * ? * . Moreover, it can? not be denied that there ls in certain parts ol thc State a lawless, a brutal element, and in some cases gross outrages have been cominiu ted, though, no doubt, they have been greatly exaggerated. Thc evils of this unsettled 6late of society have fallen upon all classes alike, though undoubtedly the negroes, as thc most helpless, have suffered the most. But that it is unsafe for them to live in the country, is simply ridiculous. They swarm in and about our cities and frequent the vilest haunts of vice, while many of our country people And it almost impossible to obtain household ser? vants. These facts are notorious here. None deplore these outrages more sincerely i.han tho citizens themselves, and if the Unltod States troops are really needed In any locality to assist tho civil authorities, they will bc heart? ily welcomed by the great mass of the peoplel It ls no kindness to tho Southern people to conceal any of these facts. Indeed, if this ap? prehension of Congressional interference arouses each community to tho Importance of protecting life by law, and of repressing lawlessness of every kind, it will not be with? out some good effect." What Tennessee needs is, to bc let alone. Necessity and self-interest will, in time, bring about a temp?rance of act and a law abiding spirit more lasting and sincere, though longer in coming, than the tranquilli? ty which reigns under tho rule of thc Win? chester rifle. A GENTLEMAN writing from Barnwell says: "The tax collector is here again. "Thi3 tax affair is nothing better than rob "bcry in disguise. Heaven only knows "when the end shall be." Our correspon? dent is reminded that Heaven helps Them who help themselves, and that tho only way for our people to help themselves is Ly working vigorously for the CITIZENS' RE?
