It had become a tradition that such an act would be unconstitutional, and would operate to invalidate the act. j The opinion of Judge Nott has been . widely commented upon, but it is the . opinion of many high authorities, . among them Chief Justice Thomas M. , Cooley of Michigan and Justice Strong (retired) of the United States Supreme court, that Judge Nott's conclusions are , entirely sound and right.

Washington, August 16. —The new tariff bill will go into effect at midnight on the day it. receives the approval of the president or becomes a law by the operation of the ten day limitation, and not from August Ist, as provided in the measure.

And. the federal supreme court has sus tained this view under the ex-post facto provision of the constitution. This is the view of the treasury department and the announcement is made because of the 1!o<xl of telegrams received there indicating some confusion upon the point. Chattanooga.

The committee heard the report of 11. 11. Edmunds, chairman of the committee for the col lection of information on the southern cotton manufacturing interests. This report stated that there are about 15.- (100,000 cotton spindles in the United States. They represent an investment, including all classes of manufactures, of over 3400,000,000. Os this number the south has in round numbers 2,200,- 000 spindles, and the capital invested is about §97,000,000. The world has about 85,000,000 spindles. “The south produces nearly sixty per cent of the entire cotton crop of the world, and if it manufactured this it would need over twenty times as many spindles as it has, or about 50,000.000, and the capital needed would exceed 81,300,000.000. The total annual value of the product of these mills would be equal to the present value of three full cotton crops. In the ■Hast eighteen years the cotton crops of the south have sold for nn aggregate of nearly i $6,000,000,000. before they reached the 1 consumer their value increased to 818,- I 1100,000,009 or 820.000,000,000.

The cable mes ' sage stating that he could not decide whether he would accept or not until his arrival here was not taken to indi cate that he might find some possible serious reason for his declining. No business interests it was believed, would prevent his occupancy of the gubernatorial chair for the next, two years. Mr. George Bliss, Mr. Morton’s partner in the firm of Morton, Bliss & Co., bankers, corner of Nassau and Ce dar streets, said that he could read no deeper meaning in Mr. Morton’s tele gram than anybody else could gather. “I cannot, ot course, tell what Mr. Morton's real sentiments are,” he added. “There is, however, nothing in Ids bus iness affairs that I know of which should militate against his acceptance of the nomination if tendered him.” GREAT SYSTEWTCOMPLETED.

'Through these connections the Southern railway has an outlet to the Ohio river. It makes a most important ally. There is also a branch of the Louisville Southern from Versailles to Georgetown. The road comes into the. hands of the Southern railway through the circumstances that the East Tennessee people also held a controlling part of the stock.
