A Paramount Duty.

We print elsewhere a severe ar
raignment of the Democratic party by
the GAINESVILLE CHRONICLE for its al
legged failure TO preserve the credit of
the State as it was pledged to do.
The CHRONICLE tells some unpalata-
BILE truths in very plain way. They
will CRATE harshly upon many an ear
unused to such plainness of speech by
a Democratic organ. But the occasion
requires it. This question will over
ride every other issue of the coming
campaign, and it must be met in the
frank and fearless spirit of an honest
purpose to do what honor and duty re-
quire. The plighted faith of Tennes-
see must be preserved. Nothing short
of this will meet the approval of a
very large majority of the people of
the State. The parties, in arranging
for the next campaign, must bear this
in mind, and they must put it in their
platforms in no equivocal terms, that
the plighted faith of Tennessee shall
be preserved We are aware that
considerable body of gentlemen in this
State favor reputation in some shape,
and they may make the issue in some
of the counties, but if they do, they
will find themselves In hopeless min
ority. 1t is the sentiment of the peo-
pie that the honest debts of the State
must be paid, and the duty of ma king
provision looking to that end will de-
volve upon the Legislature to be
elected next fall. That will, beyond
a doubt, be the most important Leg
iSlature that has assembled since the
war. Its duties will be ofthe highest
and most delicate character, and it
will require craftsmanship of no ordi-
nary type to discharge these duties in
4 satisfactory manner. 1t is a COM
mon thing to talk Of sending the best
men to the Legislature, but now
crisis is upon us when this thing is
imperatively demanded, and the peo-
pie must see to it, that good and true
men shall be sent to the Legislature
men who know and appreciate what
will be required of them, and who
have the nerve to discharge the duty
in fearless manner. If the people
will send to the Legislature their wi
sest aud best men, the ways and means
can be devised for meeting the obliga-
tons of the State and preserving its
honor 1t is the most important duty
that has devolved upon Legislature
since the organiza ton of the State,
and it may be so discharged as to re-
store our noble old commonwealth to
the proud position it occupied before
it became the prey of spectators and
rings.-NdshUiLte Mail

DEMOCRATIC.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The Ma
tional Democratic Committee prior to
its adjournment Tuesday night,
adopted the following resolution
Resolved, That the National Dem
cratic Executive Committee be in
structed to continue its headquarters
at Washington, and take such steps as
may be deemed expedient to secure an
organization in the several States, aud
that the Chairmen of the central CON-
mIttees in the respective States be
requested to cooperate with it In eff
fectiDg the call. The National Dem
ocratic Committee to whom is delega.
ted the power of fixing the time and
place for holding the National Demo
cratic Convention of 1876 have APP
pointed Tuesday, the 9th day of June
next, as the time, and st. Louis as the
place for holding such Convention.
Each State will be entitled to repre-
sentation equal to double the number
OF its Senators and Representatives in
Congress of the United States; and
the Territory of Colorado, whose adj
mission as State in July will give it
vote in the next electoral college, is
also invited to send delegates to the
Convention. The Democratic Con-
servatives and other citizens of the
United States, irrespective of past po-
litical associations, desiring to coop
crate with the Democratic party in its
present efforts aud objects, are cor
daily invited to lin in sending dele
gates to the National Convention
Co cooperation is desired from all per-
sons who would change an admins
tration that has suffered the public
debt to become aud remain inferior to
other and less favored nations; has
permitted commerce to be taken away
by foreign powers, has stiiled trade by
unjust, unequal and pernicious legis-
1atlon; has imposed unusual taxation
and rendered it most burdensome
has changed growing prosperity to
wide spread suffering and want; has
squandered public moneys recklessly
and defantly, and shamelessly used
the power that should have been swift
to punish crime to protect it. For
these and other reasons the National
Democratic party deem the public
danger imminent, and earnestly desir-
ous of securing to our country the
blessings of an economical, pure and
| free government, cordially invite the
cooperation Of their low-citizens
in their efforts to attain this object.

The Vicksburg Herald grows in
dignant over the profession of prlncl-
pie on the part of the Southern Radi-
Gals. 1t says: I'm the first place,
principles have nothing to do with
Republican politics at the South
Republican principles as held by the
Northern Republican party, would,
here in the South, be construed by the
things who call themselves Southern
Republicans as the principles of Rad
zeal Democrats. Principle doesn t
bother them one whit; it is plumber
they are after. In proof of what we
say, we will use tie Republican mar
tyrs which these oily, smooth, plausi-
BILE journals wish to make the seed OF
the party. For the sake of illustra
ton we will point to the martyrs Mo-
ses, Whipper and others, who are os-
tracised in South Carolina to Sutler
Spencer and his man Haines, and 9TH
err creeping things in Alabama; to
Clayton and cusses in Arkansas to
Ames, Cordozo, Davis, Raymond, and
murderer Morgan in Mississippi and
to Packard, Durell, kellogg, Billings,
and the other fish who swim around
in the cesspool of iniquity which has
its center in the New Orleans custom
house. These are the martyrs, the
pure patriots ostracised for opinions
sake. Faugh! These martyrs are
the first evidence that there is no such
thing as a Republican party in the
South, and that, if the North wishes
TO shed tears over them, it should
write on their tombs plumber and not
principle"

Death of General d. H. C. Spence.

1t is with deep regret that we an
nounce the death of General D. HI. G.
Spence, of the Governors staff, at his
RESIDENCE near Murfreeshoro, yester-
day afternoon. at twenty minutes past
three o'clock, after brief illness
General Spence was born in Ruther-
ford county, and graduated at the Uni
Yersity of Nashville, in the class of
184B, of which the late Major John g.
Thompson, Col. r. w. McGavock,
Gov. James d. Porter, and other
prominent men were members. He
was aid de-camp to Gen. Baldwin and
was badly wounded at the battle of
Fort Donelson. He also served as aid
de camp to Gen. J ohm &. Breckenridge
mt the battle of Murfressboro, and was
subsequently appointed Major in the
Commissary Department.
The deceased was a farmer and
prominent Granger, was q candidate
for State Senator from Rutherford and
Bedford counties, and the indications
were that he would have been elected
without opposition. Some years ago
he founded the Stones River Utility
Works, one of the most successful
manufacturing enterprises ever estab
lished in the State. No kinder heart
ever beat in human breast than in that
of D. II. Q. Spence.-Ndsh. Ameyi-

The Robertson County Tribune
launches this protest into the councils
of the Legislature Instead of adopt
ing measures and laws of importance.
the Kentucky Legislature is exhibit
ing more stupidity by introducing re-
solutions favoring reduction Of the
salaries of State and judicial officers.
This is sheer nonsense. The salaries
of our officials and judges are now low
enough. Every man of ordinary sense
knows, or should know, that it is bet
ter to pay competent judge or jurist
5000 per year than to give shyster
or jacking barrister even $1,000 per
year. Aud it is better to pay COM
petent State official $4,000 or So, 900
per annum than to give an incompetent
official 81 900 per year. And the SER
vices of honest and qualified men can
not be secured for mere song"

A FEMALE CHARLIE ROSS.
She is Stolen from Tennessee by Fed
eral Soldier, Taken to Illinois and
Reared in Kansas.


The Fayetteville (Ark.) Democrat
OF q recent date, states that from Gen.
n. b. Pearce, who had just returned
from visit to Crawford county. in
formation was obtained of a child
stolen from Tennessee. Gen. Pearce
cleaned the particulars from A. G.
Burgess, who resides on Lees Creek in
Crawford county, and who has the
child in charge The little girl was
stolen by Federal soldier named
Frederick Kabler, Of Clay county, ILL.,,
who left Illinois ia 1868, and went to
| Missouri. Kabler represented that he
found the child Id Chattanooga, Tenn,
that it came to him while on guard,
and that he took her with him to Clay
county, Illinois, after the war. Kabler
said the child was not over two years
old and that her name was Sudie, the
surname of the little thing he could
not remember After Kabler went to
Illinois his wife died, and the child
was given into the care of Mr.. Burgess,
with whom she has remained ever
since. She is now about thirteen years
of age. has blue eyes, red hair, regular
| but small features, and is rather pretty
Mr.. Burgess is of the opinion that
Kabler has not told the truth, as the
child says she did not live in town, but
in place where there was but one
| house.
Mrs Burgess thinks that the child
was stolen from near Nashville, Tenn.
Sudie thinks that she was an only
child when small she talked good
deal about an aunt who lived over the
river. She also says that soldiers
came to their house and toek her father
away, since which event sac has not
seen him.
Wesley Cashmen wrote from Nash
vile relative to the child, supposing it
to be a daughter of his slster-in-law,
but although photograph was sent to
him, no response has been received.
A man named Freedman, In Clay coun-
ty, kept the child awhile, and his
daughter seems to know something of
her from her statement The smallest
dress she had when with them was of
calico, small figured and purple, sup
posed to have been worn by her when
she was stolen.
1t may be that the child was really
stolen from near Nashville, judging
by the girls statement in reference to
an aunt who lived lover the river. "
We trust that these lines may meet
the eye of some one who knew the
child, and that through their instru-
mentality the lost one may be restored
to her parents. &

As bearing out the views heretofore
advanced IN reference to the delin-
quent State of Tennessee and her bet
ter ability to pay the interest on her
debt than is the State of Virginia to
pay the interestas she does (by accept
ing her coupons for taxes) on her debt,
we annex some notes of comparison
between the two States:
On October /, 1869, the debt of
Tennessee. including unpaid interest,
was $29. 2l2,2 This debt was prin-
pally incurred in aid to railroads, and
the State took first mortgage on the
railroads to secure her advances. In
January, 1870, an act was passed per-
hitting the railroads to pay in State
bonds in cancellation Of their obliga-
tons to the State. This was so prompt
ly availed of that the debt on January
l, 1876, was only $22 .903. 900. a reduc-
ton in six years of$16. 304, 243 of prin-
cipal. A large amount is still due by
the railroads, but of course those of
the least financial strength, although
payments on this account are still be-
ing made as the roads are able. The
valuation of real estate in the State is
$3.50, DOC. 900, and of railroad property
SOL, 900, 900, making 1891, 000, 600. The
Comptroller states in his report OF
January, 1876, that the real estate is
largely undervalued. The State tax
is 40 cents, but this tax is not rigor-
ously collected and paid over. The
estimate OF the State officials was that
the value of the roads which have not
yet paid off their State indebtedness
ought to reduce the State debt to some
$4,000, 900 or $4,000. 600, but a later
estimate gives $5,000,000 as the value
of roads still bound, which would
leave the debt ST ,O00,O 900.
We make the following comparative
statements: Debt of Virginia exclu-
ding the West Virginia certificates
$29,5l4, 426; debt of Tennessee, $22,
908, 600; assessed value of Virginia
1925, 424, l02; assessed value of Tennes-
/ $33l 600 900; State tax in Virginia
90 cents; State tax in Tennessee, AZ
cents. Population of Virginia in 1870
l. 224, $50 population of Tennessee il
1870, ,257 1888. It is evident that il
Tennessee will impose even the ter
cents additional tax that Virginia doe:
she will be much better off, and stand
a chance of retrieving her inancia
honor once more-especially if, in
connection with one more funding O
the over due interest, she consen
then to receive her coupons in pay
ment Of taxes. With such a showing
as the above of the ability of Tennes
see to pay, if she will, it is not proba.
bic that the holders of her bonds vii
be disposed to submit to a comprom
Use, either by scaling the debt or agree
ing to receive lower rate of interest
1t seems unjust to the people of Ten
nessee to suppose that they would ash
it. The people generally are honest i
the politicians are not. A large
amount of these bonds are held in Bal
timore and vicinity, our people having
invested in them because of their faitf
in the ability and willingness of the
people of Tennessee to comply with al
obligation of their own seeking
