wished. The operations Of the
funding law are detailed in full
specifying what bonds have been fund
ed or registered, and what bonds have
been rejected as illegal or held In sus-
pense as doubtful. The imperfections
OF the present assessment law are
frankly recognized, and valuable hints
offered as to the objects that should be
sought in the way of amending it.
The financial difficulties under which
the State labors are ventilated at
length, and two modes of relief sug-
gested: first, retrenchment In expenses;
and secondly, new sources Of revenue,
among which are mentioned corpora
tons, railroads and the taxing of suits
before magistrates. In the latter con-
nectiOn, the cheapenng of the admin
istratiOn Of justice and the more
prompt melting out Of justice to often
ders, Is urged, and plans offered for
the furtherance Of these purposes The
Of the Legislature is invoked
to the questions Of quieting land titles
and of determinations in railroad
tariHs-two matters Of vital import ]
ance to the prosperity of Tennessee.
Our Federal relations, the cotton tax,
and the debts Of railroads to the Fed
eral Government, assumed after the
war, are also alluded to, Not to par
ticularize further, every interest of the
State is dealt with in q manner at once
clear and complete. We had thought

ARE WE DRIFTING INTO A MILL.
TARY REPUBLIC2

TABY REPUBLIC2
"Sssil forbear," are the urgent words
Of Gen. ]. B. Gordon to the people Of
Louisiana, in their supreme agony
And such is the advice of their friends
everywhere. 1t is not from any parti.
san motive, or through the fear Of
marring a political success more than
half won already, that the Democracy
North and South join in this plea to a
poor, down-trodden State. Our motive
is much nobler. 1t is the preservation
of free institutions, for her In the early
future, as well as for ourselves. 1t is
for GOd-given peace to all. In the
desperate death-struggle. Radicalism
may blindly precipitate on the country
the issue of a change Of government
into a military republic. So long as
possible, it is our duty to avert such a
dreadful issue, even though we are
strong in the faith that it could have
but one fate-ignominious defeat.
While we appeal therefore to the
people now under the iron heel, be-
seeching them to forbear, for their own
sake, as well as ours, we should endea-
Vor to hold up their hands IN that bit
terest Of all struggles-the struggle
with self-and give them evidences of
the hope to which we bid them turn.
In the vigorous protests Of sister States;
they VIII find motives encouraging
them to suffer and to wait. Indignant
popular remonstrances ringing through
the entire Union, viii afford them some
substantial basis Of hope for the fu-
ture. We cannot IN reason ask them
to suffer, if we stand idle, afraid even
to lift our voices in their behalf. The
most effective method, then, for i'm
pressing upon them our advice to still
fOrbear, is to "rend the heavens with
our clamor" against this latest, boldest
outrage on liberty. Nor should we be
slow nor measured in our language.
The sword Is swift In its work, and
spares not. It's utter reprobation by
a free people should be equally
swift.
How near we may be to military gov
eminent, is indicated by an editorial
IN the st. Louis Democrat Of Thursday
last. This Republican journal argues
with a devilish ingenuity that suggests
the inspiration of high authority. The
article is addressed 'to the Republican
members of Congress" 1t says mac
ton in regard to the South viii be
fatal to the party. After ten years of
full power, the South is still unsettled,
and the North viii not longer permit
the deferring Of other important ques-
tions to this one problem. 1t warns
Congressman that whatever they do
must be effectuaL Northern men are
satisfied that Southern pacifcation is
necessary to the restoration of indus
trial prosperity to their section. There
fore, another Republican effort, if it
results In failure, viii render defeat in
1876 certain and overwhelming. 1t
confesses that self-government does not
exist in Louisiana, and perhaps not in
other Southern States. 1t says, "the
colored people cannot govern wisely,
the white Democrats can govern only
In defiance of the Constitution and the
laws, and the ftful interference of mil
itary power for their restraint is both
dangerous and scandalous, though IN
evitable under the present laws"

IHPEACHING THE LEGIsLATURE

IMPEACHING THE LEGISLATURE
The resolution presented by Repre-
sentative Marye relative TO the charges
of corruption in connection with Mr..
Hobbs resignation as State Comptrol-
Ter does not cover the case. 1t does not
60 far enoagh. The question is not
whether Comptroller Burch used any
corrupt means TO get Hobbs out Of the
way. but whether such means were
used by anybody. Mr.. Jones resolu-
tons are much more to the point,
thoughthepubhchavel lost confidence in
the efficacy Of legislative investigating
committees.-Afemphis AvaIanche.
The Avalanche begins to view things
through other spectacles than it has
used heretofore; it comedies that
Hobbs may have been bought out by
others than Comptroller Burch. But
our object in quoting the above para
graph is to condemn its closing sen
tence which impeaches, in advance, the
honesty and earnestness Of the legis-
latire investigation. The people were
aroused during the recent canvass as
never before, and worked together with
a viii to elect good men to Office As
a consequence, we regard the present
Legislature as the most truly
representative body that has assem-
bled in Tennessee since the war.
They deserve at least a trial before
condemnation. Even the prisoner at
the bar has that privilege. How much
more the chosen ones Of this proud
commonwealth. The AUaIanche's whole
sale impugning of their motives, in ad-
vance of any action whatever, is ira
tional, unjust, intolerable. 1t is line
Of argument worthy only of a shyster,
and involves a direct insult to the gen
tlemell with whom the people have en-
trusted their affairs of State for the
coming two years. Our Memphis con-
temporary ought to know, if it does
not, that Nashville is not Washington.

COTTR,SE.

The Chicago Tribune contains the follow
ing pedigree Of the now famous trotting
mare, Lulu. 1t is given by the mares
breeder:
"Lulu was ten years old lastspring. She
was foaled in the spring of 1865, at Colonel
Crockett's place. in Scott county, Kentucky,
and when he removed to Rock Island, he
brought the little three-year-old colt along.
Her sire was r. A. A~lexander's noted horse
Norman, and she breeds back through a
long lne of choice thoroughbreds on both
sides Her dam was Kate Crockett, she by
imported Hooten, Hooter by Despot. The
first dam OF Hooten was Il Catten mare, Sec
ond dam by Melrose by Pllgarlic, third dam
by WhiskeF. fourth dam by Orville. Despot
was by Sultan; first dam Fanny Davis by
Filho da Puta> second dam Treasurer by
Camillus. Sultan (the sire Of Bay Middle
tom was the sire Of Flying Dutchman, VIM
ner of the Derby in 1919. Kate Crockett's
first dam was Old Mary by Texas, second
dam Fanny Elsler by Cons William, third
dam Whipster by Old Whip.''
"Col. Crockett sold her to- Joseph Harker,
Esq, Of the Everett House Stables, No. 81
East Thirty-second street, New York City,
for $50. 600, in 1871. Mr.. Harkor is her pres
ent owner, and Col. Crockett congratuiates
him upon the fame she has won says he is
not a bit surprised at her time, for lie 0
sidered her the fastest trotter in the world,
and worth $780, 900. He is aware that her
best public record is 2: II, but says it must
be remembered that when the Maid won
that record she passed the score at
the start under her fastest gait, and that
she came under the Wire in the very
same way-an advantage which turfmen
will readily perceivc.''

himself whether they would come to matur-
ity earlier, make large weights, and fine,
saleable steers. Mr.. c. had previously seen
the large herd of Hereford COWS of Mr..
Clark in New York State, After two years
OF trial with Grade Herefords, Mr.. Chapman
was so well pleased with them that he has
now purchased from Mr.. Miller some thor
oughbred Hereford cows, and a very prom
ising yearling bull-a bull that it will be
very hard to beat when he comes into the

should look, if about purchasing a draft stall
lion, would be his feet. 1t is to be
hoped thest importers and breeders OF draft
horses may~pay especial attention to this
matter.
Good eyes are another essential. 1t is a
not uncommon fault with many draft
horses, that their eyes are small, dull, sunk
ca. or vicious looking. Good temper is
especially to be desired. A dull, stolid brute,
without any manifestation of energy or spir-
ii. is to be avoided on the one hand, as is
a bad tempered, vicious brute OH the other
hand.
Among the faults of lesser consequence,
but one we think worthy Of notice, and one
we think in which a breed of horses with
many excellencies, the Cl%ydesdale, could be
improved, is in having long hair on che legs.
We see no good in this hair !; it certainly
adds nothing to- the beauty of the animal,
and it holds mud, wet snow, ice, etc., to an
unpleasant amount. If this trait were bred
out we think a gain would be made.-W Vest
