treating you in the same way as you
are proposing to treat the bondholders
when you talk about State politics. 1t
seems bad enough to you when you
are the bondholder, but where you are
the debtor it's all right. Hayersack re-
fuses to pay for the road built with
your money and which he is now using
-and he is scoundrel. You refuse
to pay the bondholders for the rail-
roads built with their money and which
you are now using, and what are you
G.-Sir you are mixing up politics
and business-what have Haversack
and | got to do with the bondholders
and the State government
C.-The government is nothing but
the agent of the people; they borrowed
money of the bondholders for the peo-
ple's use, railroads were built with
them for the peoples use, your use and
mine, the people, that is you and /, are
using them; if we don't pay the bonds
we have given to build them, we, that
that is you and |, are just as dishonest
as Haversack isin refusing to pay the
note which you can't make off of him in
law. Set him better Example, he is
at present acting upon the principles
you have taught him in reference to
the bondholders-the only difference
is that we who owe the bonds are hun
dreds of thousands and heis only one,
but that only makes our case the worse
if we use the enormous power of num-
bers to overawe and browbeat our
creditors.
G.-Well I see l amt going to make
anything off you any more than off
Haversach. Come along brother Bees
wax, think we came to the wrong
lawyer. like to hear Mr.. Fancy talk
better than him, he's the man to pitch
into the bondholders.
B.-I think we did wake up the
wrong passenger this time, brother
Grufin. Good morning Mr. Capias.

There are no high-tax men in Ten
nessee. Colonel Bailey says that we
should favor a tax of sixty cents If il
be necessary to pay the accruing inter-
est on the State debt. Compared with
other States, even this is not a high
tax. Mississippi pays the expenses of
her criminal prosecutions by the coun-
ties, when in Tennessee they are paid
by the State, and the tax is sixty-fve
cents in Mississippi for State purposes.
Mississippi, everybody knows, is not
in as good a pecuniary condition as
Tennessee, having been for years under
Radical rule, aud Colonel Bailey does
not propose a higher rate than sixty
cents, which is five cents less than in
Mississippi, and fifteen cents less than
in Alabama, which taxation rates we're
levied by Democratic legislatures.
This talk about high State taxes in
Tennessee is without any just ground,
and can deceive no intelligent, we'll

About a week ago we heard one of our

Ganges and Brahmapootra Rivers, the
population of which is estimated at
three hundred and forty thousand, there
remained after the cyclone had passed
less than seventy-fve thousand persons.
The last Government Gazette says:
"Wherever the storm wave passed it
is believed that not one-third of the pop
ulation is surviving. The islands have
barely one-fourth of their former inha BIZ
tants. The stencil from the purifying
bodies is insufferable, and a general
outbreak of cholera is hourly expected"
A dispatch to the London Times dated
the 10 h OF November states that in
Noakholtz this terrible disease has ac-
tually manifested itself. Great suffer-
ing exists in the districts over which
the storm has passed from the destruc-
tion of crops, etc. Backergunge is a
great rice-producing district, and great
amount of damage was done to the grain
stored in the granaries. as well as to the
crops in the field.
Tue storm OF 1864, which has been re-
garded as the most severe known in
India, caused loss of lie estimated at
fifty thousand. The PIE sent is much
more awful in its destructiveness, and
unparalleled in the history OF that part
of the world, ii indeed in that of any
other portion of the habtable globe.
