The Memphis AppeaI makes the
statement that many farmers in
Fayette, Haywood and Shelby
counties are leasing lands to East
Tennesseeaps and North Carolina
emigrants, with the right to purchase.
This is done when heads of families
emigrate to these counties. Men
without households are employed at
snch wages, the appeal insists. as
were never paid them in the older
States.

The Memphis AvaJanche says !:
''There is not solitary member of
the General Assembly Of Tonnes
see. nor a member OF the depart
ments, nor the Governor himself,
who knows the aggregate or total of
the public debt of the State. There
is no one of these public men who
can give the aggregate OF taxes as
sessed and collected. And yet the
General Assembly of Tennessee
passed funding bill, when it was
absolutely stone blind IS to the facts.
q knowledge of which is indispen-
sable to the making of just finan-
cial policy. Under the funding law,
if it can be enforced. the party will
take from the people $4,000, 900 and
not reduce the principal of the debt
held by the bondholders a single
dollar"

The bloody fight between whites
and blacks in Louisiana took place
in the town of Colfax and in the
parish of Grant. The Chicago Tri-
buae thinks it is q curious coinci-
dence that these should be 'sthe
names Of the President and Vice
President under whose administra-
ton we're sown the seeds Of this
ominons slaughter in the enforce
ment of the illegal decision Of q
drunken judge and the recognition
of usuurping government.

Some of the newspapers Of West
Tennessee are agitating the ques-
ton of forming a new State out OF
portions of West Tennessee, Ken
lucky and Mississippi. The new
State is to be called jackson. Form
jackson in the West and Frankland
in the East, and there will not be
much of the old State Of Tennessee
left.

Effect Of the Funding Law.

1t has been estimated by careful
calculation that it will require 4 tax
of eighty cents on every one hundred
dollars worth Of property in the
State, in order to meet the current
expenses, and the Indebtedness
created by the funding law. With
the already heavy burdens OF private
debt with which the people are OPP
pressed, with the tax Of forty cents,
they find it difficult to pay them, but
if it should be doubled, it will be
almost impossible for them to pay.
But the worst feature about the
State and county taxes is the strin-
gent clause of what is known as the
assessment law. which places the
purchaser at the tax sale in imme-
diate possession Of the real estate
struck off to him, and which be can
hold subject to redemption and also
hold the rents. If tax Of seventy
or eighty cents we're placed upon the
property OF the State it would bank
rupt the people and turn half of
those out of house and home who
now own homes.
It is sincerely hoped that Cover
nor Brown will call special session
of the Legislature for the express
purpose of repeating the funding
law.-AIemphis Ledger.

From Texas.


We have received a letter from
DR.. j. A. Summers, dated '.Sher-
man, Texas, April 21st. 1878" from
which we make some extracts, our
columns being too much crowded
this week for us to give the entire
letter: Il have been in the land of
promise nearly one month, and have
been endeavoring since my arrival
to Texanize myself, and have been
making considerable progress, having
learned to eat beef, and having oc-
casionally a strong penchant to fight.
especially if no body happens to be
in striking distance. ] was told
along the road chat these were pre-
requisite accomplishments to becom-
ing citizen of Texas. However, /
think these were exaggerated state
ments, as I have found the people of
Texas, as a general thing. to be
quiet, liberal and progressive, en-
deavoring to improve their great
State, which has been SO munifcent-
" blessed in natural and material
advantages. know you have all
heard a great deal about Texas !;
about her soil, her productiveness,
her climate, her present advantages,
and her future prospects; but am
free to say that the half has not been
told. No adequate conception of
the great advantages of this young
empire can be formed without seeing
them. Blessed with soil rich and
fertile, easily cultivated, yielding in
abundance everything necessary to
the sustenance of man or beast. and
rapidly filing up with a population
st once industrious and enterprising,
Texas is destined to become the
greatest Agricultural country in the
world. This portion of the State.
known as Northern Texas, is in my
opinion, the best part. Here we
have more timber, better water, and
a greater variety Of soil than other
parts OF the State. Good improved
lands around the city of Sherman,
and in the vicinity of the Railroad,
sell for from fifteen to tlIirty-fve
dollars an acre. Further frem town,
less. improved lands can be bought at
from FIVE to two dollars. Further
west than this in Wise, Montague
and Cooke counties land can be
bought for from two and q half to
ten dollars an acre. Perhaps some
OF your readers would like to emf
CRATE to Texas. So far as I can
Judge the best inducements are Of
fered to the farming class. Any or
binary farmer, with energy can make
money in Texas. Professions, trades.
and clerllships are generally full.
But there IS plenty OF COED farming
land that needs settling, and can be
bought at reasonable figures. While
I think any energetic man can make
money at any business he may pur-
sue, yet my honest conviction is that
the farmer is the man to GENE to
Texas. I have met several East
Tennesseeans here. and Of course
found them clever men. Mr.. G. n.
Etter, formerly Of Mooresburg. lives
here, and is one Of the most popular
men of Sherman. / venture the as
sertion that the State gan claim but
