Senator Sherman, Chairman Of the FL
nance Committee Of the Senate, says that
Just as certain as Congress meets next ses-
sion it will enact the funding bill into
law.
Thus the account current viii stand in
1908, at the expiration of the forty years
provided for the bonded debt to run. The
people will then have paid to the bondhold-
ers $IQ35O,000,O00 in gold for the 81 ,25O,-
100000 in gold which they received from
them. In other words, they viii have paid
back nearly nine dollars for every dollar
they borrowed This latter seems startling
at first, but it is substantially true.
If the funding bill passes, and is executed,
we repeat it VIII cost the people of the
United States over 100000 600 to pay
the $3.50 0OO,OgO they borrowed between
1861 and 1865. This is to be paid the tax
payers viii remember, in gold coin, for the
boudholder has q great Partially for that
kind Of money Ia order to hand this tri-
fling sum of $40, 00O,OgO,O 900 over to 10000
/ bondhoIders, we shall have TO discover seve-
Eal new CALIFORNIA;, filed with gold ore.
/ Our tax payers must not think that this
$I000OO0O,OOO which they are to pay the
bondholders in the next two years will con
/ s5itute the sum total Of their taxation Far
from it. This is in addition to all the ex
penses of the different Governments, Fede,
raj, State and local, which will amount to at
least $500, 600, 600 more per year, or SO, OO0
100000 in the forty years. Thus the tax.
payers VIII be in for $4,000, 100000 to be
paid by two generations Of men. 1t is easy
to speak and to write these enormous sums
but they are so really great that it requires
a vivid Imagination to sufficiently compre
bend them What a frightfuI mortgage is
this upon the industry Of the country
a more monsTously corrupt scheme was
never devised than this of funding the
greenback debt for forty years, then paying
principal and interest in gold, and securing
for that large interval the exemption Of one
fifth Of the capital of the country FROM tax.

frauds that the world has ever known.

LOOK OUr-The Senate has passed the
militia bill three times. On the Sth inst the
same bin passed the Lower House on its
first reading and referred to an appropriate
committee. One section of the bill makes
it a grave olense for any one to manufacture
or have in his or her possession any disguise
of any kind whatever Look out The bill
will pass.

J. NJ. RICHARDSON, Sec'y.

MmITIA-The Legislature is still harping
on this sickening, disgusting theme. In
the meantime that old sinner, the right
reuerued Mr.. Governor G. w. Brownlow,
whose shrivled skin and marrowless bones
cannot fail to remind one Of a late gourd
nipped by an early frost is working him
self up to a blood-thirsty pitch. In order to
give our readers glimpse of his christian
designs, we clip from the Louisville
Courier, Of Thursday last, the following
items, which were sent to that paper by a
special correspondent from Nashville;
Gentlemen who arrived from Knoxville
TODAY report having had long conversation
with Brownlow, during which the latter eX-
hibited his proclamation, calling out the
militia. 1t viii be borne in mind that the
militia bin has not yet passed, although the
Governor In the beginning OF his proclama-
ton makes the very singular statement that
the bill passed both Houses with remGrka
BILE unanimitv. This was based on his an
ticirations, when the fast really is, that If
the bill passes at ali it viii be anything but
unanimous
BrownIow EXPRESSED himself as bitterly
opposed to rebel acknowledgements, and said
the onIv proper way to treat the hell~deserv-
inc rebels was to annibilate them by fire
and sword He also said if he got his mill
tia once in the field he would give the
yvretches a lesson they would not soon for
get lie is represented as being bitter and
bloodthirsty in the extreme.
What a Governor; what a devil; what a
christian this Brownlow is, to be sure.

During the past week the long-Iooked-for
correspondence between Gen. Rosecrans,
OF the Federal army, and Gen. Robert E.
Lee, has been extensively published. Lack
of space prevents our publishing the CORES

contents of the'letters are calculated to show
to the country the precise condition of the
people of the South, and how well they have
kept their promises made on the day of the
surrender. The correspondence will infu-
ence many votes and be tributary to the cleo
ton of Seymour and Blair. As Phil Glenn
says: "Thank God for that"

BARBECUE.-Last night one week ago the
Conservative Club Of this district, aided and
allotted by many who do not belong to the
same, determined to getup a barbecue at this
place to-day one week, 18th inst. Appro-
pirate committees were appointed for the
purpose of procuring provisions and making
all necessary arrangements for the occasion,
which, we hope viii be most entertaining
and satisfactory to our people. Give with a
liberal hand, and remember that when you
work for the election Of Seymour and Blair,

CoTTON.-Since our last issue we have
been informed by gentlemen who live in the
Sd civil District that their cotton crops are
anything else but good, and that the worms
are in the fields, doing their best to destroy
the few boles to be found on the stalks.
Complaint is also made of the shortness of
the corn crop by the same parties How
ever, we hear others, from other sections of
the county, speak very hopeful of their
prospects for at least two thirds crop. Take
1t all in all, we are disposed to say that a
fair crop viii be made in this county, both OF
cotton and corn, though the prospect might
have been better had the motto pillow deep %

and character destroyed. We can name

As far as we can learn, from our ex-
changes, the corn crop of Mississippi will
prove abundant, while the crop of cotton,
from various causes, viii be considerably
reduced-say to two-third crop, counting
the land cultivated. In our own State, corn
is far better than it was last year, while the
cotton crop is not over two thirds what it was
in 1867. Texas has good prospect for a
full crop of cotton, but all of the other cot
ton growing States have materially dropped
back of last years yield. Throughout the
country, corn has generally done we'll
