Further propositions are made
that the city shall obtain the proper
authority from the Legislature to
fund the debt, not exceeding $5,-

ready obtained be funded at sixty

option of funding them, if not

hibited from issuing any more
bonds, while these or any Of them
are outstanding, and shall not levy
a higherrate of taxation for general
purposes than a certain sum, to be
fixed by the act of the Legislature
authorizing these bonds. That an
ample interest and sinking
fund shall be annually levied
and collected to meet the
maturing interest and to retire and
pay the bonds, and that this tax
shall be faithfully applied; that all
the provisions named shall be made
part of the contract and impeaeh-
able by subsequent legislation, and
that the creditors now suspend the
collection of their claims until after
the next session of the Legislature,
January, 1877, and then, upon the
city complying with the terms,
where judgments have been OBJ

ATTORNEY GENERAL HEIsKELL's
OPINION.

The Appeal Of this morning at
tempts to correct the LEDGER in its
statement of the opinion of Attor-
ney General Heiskell on the Porter
coupon-purchasing scheme. The
Appeal says in reference to the
LEDGER:
Yesterday it had an editorial Of some
length reviewing the Governors speech
of Thursday night, in the course OF which
it said that
Porter should have listened to the
advice given him by Attorney General
Heiskell, i. e., to defer the payment Of
the coupons until the Legislature could
act upon the subject.
We have carefully read the opinion Of
Attorney General Heiskell, aud fail to
find the advice above quoted and attrib-
uted to him.
We have as carefully read Heis-
kelFs so-called opinion, and we find
that the LEDGER is correct in its
statement, and we now quote from
the opinion as printed in the
LEDGER of September 2. The
closing paragraph Of the opinion is
as follows:
II can bring my mind TO no other
conclusions. l am satisfied that you
can be subject to no just reflection il
you should, under the circumstances,
defer the payment until the Legislature
can act upon the subject"
The Attorney General had a
Hell-Gate problem to solve between
the Constitution of the State and
the Supreme Court decisions, a.
well as Legislative practice. He hat
to steer his opinion between tn,
rocks of Scylla on the one hant
and the whirlpool of CharybdiS OF
the other, and he did it in the fol
lowing seamanlike way:
II an at a loss to say that, 10 the ab
sence Of an act clearly aud specifcall
appropriating moneys to the payment {
specific debts aud dues, there can exis
any positive duty to obligation on th
officers of the State. The constitutio
declares that no money shall be draw
from the Treasury exceptin consequence
OF appropriations made by law" Ev
IDENTIFY the intention Of the coust'tutio
is that an appropriation, such as is mad
in Congress and the English Parlismen'
shall be made from time to time. "
the uniform practice ia Tennessee Ian
a most vicious practice it seems to bt
has been TO make no such appropriate
except as to legislative expenses en-
some few special items usually include
Herewith, but TO regard all other matter
required by law to be paid, as being al
propriated for. In the absence Of an
express appropriation personally, l al
at a loss to say that a duty is impose
on o State officer to pay anything, viii
/ can very easily assert that he is just
fed in making such payments as 81
authorized by law not in form or So
stance appropriation bills-thst is n
setting apart any specific amounts f

II am free TO say that a strict adhe
eDce to the constitutional mode Of sp
cifc appropriation would leave this an
many other cases free Of embarrassme
and difficulty, and leave the responsible
ity Of oil payments where it belonl

When vital action is sluggish, a stimulant.
provided it be pure and properly medicated,
is the most reliable agent for importing the
necessary impetus to the semi-dormant or
gans, acoelerating b elanguid~ circulation and
a%verting thu maladies to which functional
inactivity gives rise. Physicians who have
employed Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in
their practice pronounce it the most ~salutary
tonic slimulant they have ever used, and es
p~ecially commend it as a remedy for torpidity
Of the bowels. liver. stomach and kidneys,
and as a resuscitant Of vital energy. The
medicinal value Of the Bitters is due to the
fact that with their basis Of pure old rye are
combined. in perfect chemical harmony, the
best restorative and life sustaining clements
known to medical botany. The Bitters never
detcriorate in the most unfayorable climates.
