CB- The people Of Tennessee are not
yet ready for reputation, which the
policy of johnson, Ethridge, Colyar
& Co. win inevitably lead to. The
honor of the State is pledged to meet
the interest upon its debt, and any fail
ure to do so would bring dishonor upon
her fair escutcheon. The State has no
more right to ignore her honest debts
than an individual has, and every indi-
vidual taxpayer in the State is involved
in the responsibility and would share
in the disgrace incurred by a failure to
meet the interest upon her debt. We
are sure the people of Tennessee will
countenanee no man who aspires to
public honors through a cowardly and
senseless clamOr for low taxes, when
our taxes are already lower than those
of any other State, and barely sufficient
now to meet the interest and current
expenses of the State.

The only thing heard from Prof. Nc
Donald since he went up to Tennes-
see was from a gentleman who passed
Pulaski last Monday, and he says Nc.
was standing first on one foot and then
on the other, viewing the scenery of
that ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Nelos.
Prof. Mcdonald fllly appreciates the
beautiful scenery Of our more than
beautiful country, doubtless, and has
lost no opportunity to admire, hut has
been shifting his position on foot with
more alacrity than the Informant of the
Neaos seems to imagine, and not only
this, very respectable class of young
people are initiating him in his graceful
CITATIONS. We are doing well by your
distinguished townsman, Mr.. Nel7s.

CS- The Colyar-Johnson meeting at
Nashville was a most faFcical failure.
Only thirty persons, all told, rallied to
the call of Colyar, and they wrangled
and disagreed, and finally compromised
on a set of resolutions throwing the
democratic party overheard and setting
up Conservative" machine with An
dy johnson and reputation as their
principles-for their resolutions to re-
duce taxes amount simply to repudia-
ton, and reputation or non-pay ment
of interest Is A. j. birds key note.

GOV. JNo. 9. BRoWN.
He is not a Candidate for Con-
greSs.

Having been surprised at the repeated
statement in the Banner that Gov. Jno.
G. Brown would be a candidate to rep
resent this district in the House of Rep
resentatives OF the next Congress, we
were prompted, on recent casual meet
ing with that gentleman, to ask the
truth of the report. He unhesitatingly
replied that under no conceivable cir
cumstances whatever would he be a can
didate for that position. We did not in
quire nor did he state whether "under
proper and fitting circumstances he
would be a candidate for the United
States Senate

The country press are a little exer-
cised as to whether or not Governor
John G. Brown is candidate for Con-
gressional honors. That little Pulaski
bird, referred 10 before, brings the news
thpt he certainly is. Look out for squalls
down in Giles.-BaRner.
The Banner seems to be more exercised
on this subject than the country press,
as it has had a great deal more to say
about it. Nobody in Gov. Browns dis
trict ever heard of the rumor until ii
appeared IN the Banner.

A State convention has just been held
in Tennessee to give utteranee to the
sentiment of the cOlOred people of this
State on the subject of Mr.. Summers

savage, yet childish, threats: "We will
use our utmost to stamp upon every
demagogue who seeks to betray the
privileges of our children to their full
and impartial enjoyment of impartial
and equal privileges in the public
schools, the brand Of the traitor Judas,

| The PROPOSED TWENTY-OENT PIECE
In note to the Baltimore American, Mr..
M. Y. Davis writes from the Office of
the Director of the mint as follows:
SIN your issues of to-day I notice
paragraph stating that at the next SEES
sion of Congress it is proposed to have
| two new silver coins authorized, viz. a
twelve-and-a-half cent piece, and asking
the question: why not adhere to dec
imaI coins?' I think the idea of a twelve
and a-h alt cent coin erroneous, and has
arisen from the fact in telegraphing to
the press a synopsis Of the Directors re-
port for the last fiscal year, the proposed
twenty-cent coin was referred 80 as
tweive-cent coin, the Ill stake oeln3 Win
the operator, not in the, report the
necessity for such a coin does not exist.
A bill authorizing the issue OF a twenty
cent silver coin was introduced IN the
Senate by Senator Jones, of q q Vada, ana
passed that body at it's last sessia n. Not
reaching the House, however, unh.u It's
| closing hours, it failed for want of t.me'
but will probably become law at the
next session Of Congress. The object
in providing for such coin was to re-
heYe an embarrassment which has long
prevailed on the Pacific coast In making
change, in consequence of a 1O-cent sil-
yer coin, or fbit', being the lowest de
nominated coin in circulation, our
cent copper nickel coins being almost
unknown In California, and all efforts to
introduce them having thus far proved
unsuccessful. Under the bit system
which obtains there, if purchaser offers
in payment 25-cent coin for an article,
the price of which is bit, or 10 cents,
he receives only 10 cents change, ard
consequently losses 5 cents III the trans
action The issue Of a 20-cent coin will
relieve this difficulty, and at the same
time conform to our decimal system of
money"
