No TINE TO BE LosT.-In the incipient
stages of Consumption, the first symptoms
is generally hacking cough, pains in the
chest, difficulty of breathing, or oppression
Of the lungs. Something should be done at
once to check the cough, allsy and heal the
irritated parts. Aliens Lung Balsam will
break up the cough in an incredible short

the disease is hard to cure.

O. We are glad the Appeal has
been compelled to put an end to
what seemed an endless controver-
sy in its columns, in regard to the
superiority of the sexes. God made
man and woman as nearly equal az
he saw was best, and all the fierce
denunoiations, pro and con cannot
and will not affect the matter. Fer
practical purposes both are requir-
ed-and it matters little whether
one is superior to the other, or both
are equal. For our part, after
somewhat extended acquaintance
with the feminine sex, we are of the
opinion, taken on the whole, that
they are the equa.s-ifnot the supe-
riors of the masculines.

Our State Legislature adjourned
without passing the revenue bill,
which, we think, will necessitate
the reassembling of that body in
extra session for the purpose of
passing that bill.--BrOWRSUille
States.
Yes, but where is the necessity
for calling an extra session? The
advocates of the funding bill de-
clared THAI the present rate of taxa
tion-40 cents on the hundred dol
lars-was sufficient to meet all the
demands upon the State Treasury
for the ensuing two years, and some
of them evidently believed it, for
they voted for forty instead of fifty
cents, which was proposed. Ger
tainly, if forty cents aoiH pay
which we kROW it will not-Gov.
Brown will not be guilty of the
folly and extravaganza of calling an
extra session of the Legislature for
the purpose of imposing an uRnec-
essdry tax on the people. The men
who believed that the present rate
was sufficient, will not stultify
themselves, and ego back" on their
record in an extra session. Consid-
er, Governor, consider.

The Funding RIlI.

We give numerous extracts from
our State exchanges in regard to
the so-called Funding bill passed by
the legislature, just before adjourn
ment. We do this out of no unkind-
ness to any one who veted for or IA
vored the project, but for the pur-
pose of indicating the tone and tenn
per of public opinion in regard to
that bill.
1t is thought by many that Gov,
Brown viii call an extra session of
the legislature, to remedy existing
evils. If lie does, we hope he will
so word his proclamation in calling
the legislature together, that-if
they will not provide sufficient rev.
enue to run the machinery of the
State, and pay the interest-and we
have no idea they will-that they
may repeal the funding bill, and net
leave blot and blur upon the stat
ute book.

CO If the friends of the funding
job recently put up by the legisla-
ture ofthis State, will demonstrate
how often eight will go into four,
we think they will be able to show
how tax offorty cents on the hun
dred dollars win be sufficient to pay
what the figures show cannot be
paid by eighty cents on the hundred
dollars. Get to your states, gentle
men, the people want to see you
work out that problem.

a couple Of FIRMS Set Right.

LOUISVILLE, March Stat a
meeting of creditors of Lithgow &
Co., and Muldoon s. Co., this even
ing, the report of the committee ap-
pointed at the last meeting was
heard. The committee found the as
sets of the firms to be seven hundred
and forty thousand dollars, and the
liabilities four hundred and forty
thousand dollars. The firR asked a
few years time to pay its debts, in
nine payments, the first to be made
in a year, and they proposed to deed
to trustee all the partnership and
individual assets, Including real
property and dover right Of part
ners' wives, the latter amounting to
about three hundred thousand dol
lars. The proposition was promptly
accepted and Henning s. Speed, s
prominent real estate firm Of this
city, were chosen trustees. The
deed will be made, and the business
of the two houses continue as here
tofore, under this arrangement.
According to the Appeals theory,
it is legitimate to include in the rev.
enues derived from taxation for any
given year, collections for taxes due
for previous years. To illustrate: II
s., OO0, 900 are required to meet inter
est on funded debt, current expen-
ses, school tax, ETC., in 1874, and q
4Oc adYalorem tax and $500, 900 from
privileges produce only 81, zoo, 900
of the required sum, it is proper to
take 81, 5000 collected for taxes
and privilege in previous years, add
that sum to the 81 200, 900 and then
point to the 100000 as proof that
40e advalorem tax is sufficient to
meet the years appropriations. The
fact is, the years work would show
the current revenue to have been 81,
100000 less than the current apprO-
priatiOn. We admit that if to the
revenues produced by 40c, and the
privileges, a sufficient sum from 9th
er resources be added to make up
the deficit, the interest and the cur
rent appropriation can be paid; but
as they are not met by the 40c rate
and the receipts from privileges, why
| insist that Acc rate is sufficient for
allipurposes? Nothing could be more
absurd than this assumption. Now
let US look into few facts: Under
the new assessment law it is hoped
to increase the taxable property TO
$500, 100000. 1t is now, S278, 000,O 900.
This will produce at 4Oc State and
10c school tax 81, 100000. The re-
ceipts from privilege be, say$50O, 600
more-$2, 100000 in all. These are
the only sources of current revenue.
With this must be paid: Interest,
81, 747, 800; school tax 100000; cur
rent expenses, say, $500, 900; interest
on floating debts, say, $50,0O0-total
s., 677, $50 without including $780,
600 appropriated by the 3sth Gener-
al Assembly; $75, 900, Legislative ex-
penses; $4,000 due counties on
school tax of 1S68-69, etc. Perhaps
the financiers of the Appeal can pay
s., 677, $50 with $2,000,0O0 besides
providing for the items aggregating
1926, 900, also to be paid out of cur
rent revenues. Gov. Brown will
thankfully receive any practical de-
monstration of such a proposition.

PUBLIC 1IEETING.
Address of Judge Arnold.

Judge Arnold, of Miss, President
of the Birmingham, Jackson and
st. Louis Railroad, addressed a
large meeting OF citizens in the
courthouse on Wednesday night.
The Judges speech was full Of facts
and figures and produced a marked
effect upon his intelligent audience.
He presented the advantages that
would flow to Jackson by the build
ing of the Birmingham, Jackson &
st. Louis Railroad with strong and
convincing arguments. The speech
was received with marked satisfac-
ton by the audience, and aroused
an enthusiasm for the enterprise
that we have seldom seen equalled.
When the Judge concluded General
Campbell introduced a resolution,
thanking him for his visit to our
city, for his very able and interest
ing speech, and assuring him that
Jackson was alive to the Importance
of his road, and would, when the
time arrived, prove her faith by her
works.
Mr.. Green then introduced a res
olution, instructing the citizens
committee to inquire into the FEAST
bility of organizing a chamber of
commerce, composed of merchants,
owners of real estate and manufac-
turers, before which body, when
organized, all questions affecting
the interests of the city should be
brought. The object of this reso-
luton is the establishment of an or
ganized body which can act upon
questions OF public interest as well
as talk. Both resolutions were
unanimously adopted.
No railroad enterprise has ever
been presented to our people more
important or freighted with more
advantages than the Birmingham,
jackson & st. Louis Railroad, and
we assure Judge Arnold and the
friends of the road in Alabama and
and Mississippi that our citizens
were never nearer unit upon any
question. We know whereof we
speak when we say that Jackson
will subscribe $500, 900 if necessary,
when the question is submitted.
We have not space for further re-
marks this week, but will from time
to time discuss the points presented
by Judge Arnold, and lay before
our readers such other facts as will
advance this great enterprise.

thai the Hon. j. =. Young faithful
~ represented his county in his vote
upon the Funding act, recently en-
acted by our legislature, and regis
tered his vote against that most ini-

OF all representatives. They are Sc
leaed, and the trust reposed in
them, that they will constantly re-
fleet the will of their constituents;
and If a representative should differ
from his constituents so far, that he
cannot conscientiously bring him
self to support measures that he be-

ought tC resign, and give place to
some man whose notions are more
in accord with those of his people,
and who will be, not in name, only,
but in fact, a representative of those
who delegated him. Col. Young
had doubtless the sentiments of the
people of Lauderdale in lively re-

back on Wall Street, and marched
in the ranks of his outraged and
