The concert given by Grilley's Orchestra on last Wednesday evening was an entire success. and was fully appreciated by the large and respectable audience which fill ed the NJ. E. Church on the occasion. The Orchestra rendered some beautiful selections; Overtures, Waltzes &c from Hermann, Nerve, Riverie and other com posers of their order. A trombone solo by Mir. G. w. Grilley was applauded. MT. Grilley is trombonist of uncommon taste and skill. A cornet solo by Mir. Will liam Jager was highly appreciated. MT. is an excellent cornet player, The assist ance of Miss Lizzie Fischer, Soprano, MT. John J. Fischer, Basso, and F. T. Bid well organist gave variety and brilliance to the whole affair. Miss Fisher has a pow erful, clear and musical voice which, con- bined with a rare districtness of pronoun- citation, makes her at once popnlar and in. terestiug as singer. On the whole we think this concert was the best ever given in this place, and we hope it will be re- peated, for what is better calculated to captivate and sweeten the human soul than sweet strains of music?
 A young man named John Gray met with serious accident on Saturday last while engaged in removing furniture from the house of William Morton. He had just got on the wagon when the dropping of the reins started the horses down the steep hill from Morton's house, in full gallop. Poor Gray was thrown from the wagon, which passed over him, breaking his arm and inficting several severe cuts and bruises on various parts of his body. A boy on horseback in front of the span caused them to stop before they reached the turn of the steep hill where the horses would in all probability have been killed. l. The Democrats knew what they were about when they nominated Mir. Randall Andrews for Representative at their cau- GUS last Friday evening. MT. Andrews is certainly the most popular man in Thom- aston and we think political feeling must run high when Mir. Andrews IS defeated in Thomaston nc matter what ticket he runs on.

TnERE seems to be some little dsposi-
ton to howl about the fifteen cents tax
advocated by MIR. Koppcr The State
is badly in debt, and II miserable condi.
ton Of affairs obtains that bids fair only
to grow worse unless an additional taN
be laid. 1t ought to come and must
como to ward oil dishonor from the
State, and the sooner the Legislature re-
calizes this fact the better. Shifts,
shirkings, and demagoHlGal eKpedicnts
should stand aside in the presence of
plain, practical, honest legislation We
don want the school fund fooled with
under protcnse Of replacing it ut some
more convenient season; no juggling
with United States and State
bonds, no cvaslyc, shutting legislation
on finance. tokc's administration has,
to the States sorrow, seen far too much
of this already The people of Tcxas
rs State owe money, and every die
tate of honor demands that their debts
be paid Fifteen cents ON the hundred
dollas will pay this debt, and to levy il
is far better than to borrow money and
trust to the future to foot our matmcd
bonds, THE HERALD cannot but assent
to Mr., koppcrs views, especially to the
policy rs cnunciatcd in the following
lines:
We should make ample provisions for
the payment OF our ordinary govern
mental expenses, and not impose any
portion of it on our successors or poster
ity, This has been too much the ease
heretofore. In the erection and en-.
dowmcnt of colleges and institutions of
public charity, ETC., we might impose ON
postcrlty the payment of a portion or
all such expenses, rs postcrity would
share equally with ourselves in their
benefit, but our everyday cNpcn-
SEES we should meet ourselves.
II is bad policy in a state or an midi.
yidunl to procr0stinatc and put off the
payment of Just and known debt.
Our duty is plain; let us meet it fairly
and fearlessly Is it not better and
more stotesmonliIlc to imposc u tax that
will meet our everyday expenses than
to incur a debt which will have to be
met in the future by n tax so high that
it will be oppressive and burdensome ON
our people, when this procrastinating
system will be understood and dcpre-
