Night before last u man took his
seat on the end Of the ties near the

freight train came along and hunted
him off, rolling him down the en-

engine strike him, and ran to the spot,
expecting to find the man dead or se-
verely injured. Strange to say, he was

To the Dallas military companies Is
due, In great measure, the credit Of
the handsome display. They are two
fine, well drilled companies I; well of
ficered, composed of gentlemen ofeul-
ture and refinement, and reflect credit
upon their city. There was general
aud unanimous expression OF commen-
dation and praise for their splendid
appearance, and gentIemanly bearing,
heard upon every hand. The Demo
crat, in the name, and In behalf OF the
city aud IT. people, thanks them for
their attendance and assistance In
making the occasion such a decided
success. We hope that their vIsit wfs

may ever regret having made a visit
ITO the place whar the panther laid
down.

clara Louise kellogg as Defend,

Messrs. Pope & Howard, of the
New Orleans Varieties Theater,
have sued Miss Clara Kellogg for
$4,000, claimed as due for breach
Of contract, she having agreed to
appear with her company in eight
performances between the 9Th and
goth of next month, her manager,
Mr.. d. @. Hess, to designate the
evenings on which she would sing
on or before the 10th of December
1t is claimed that he failed to name
the evenings within the stipulated
time, and that thus arose the cause
Of the suit. The management of
the theater claim that they have
been put to great expense in pre-
pairing for the expected advent of
MisSsKellogg, and that only $4,000
will cover their loss. The defend
ants agent, Mr.. Hess, declines to
give his version Of the story.

FOR A COMPROMISE.

Governor Porter has at last discovered
that the people cannot meet current ex-
penses aud pay the interest on the State
debt at the present rate as it falls due.
We told him and all other high tax men
long ago that it would require at least
seventy cents on the hundred dollars
to do what they insisted must be done
whether we were able or not. The Gov
ernor seemed to admit this in his open
letter Of December, 1875, and many of
his friends we're greatly surprised, just
after his last nomination, when his re-
election was an assured fact, to
learn that he had determined 70
pay off the interest OF July, 1875. The
Attorney General advised hun that be
could defer the payment three Or fosr
months longer, until the meeting of the
Legislature. But his mind had been
made up, and, regardless of the appeal
Ct friends and the best interests Of the
impoverished tax payers, all the money
that could be raised or anticipated in a
short time was pledged and went to pay
the coupon holders, dollar for dollar.
The idea Of a compromise had grown up
in the minds Of the people until it had be-
come a fixed purpose, bat found express
sion in the most emphatic and unmistsk-
able manner The Democratic State plat.
form had positively declared against an
increase Of taxation above the present
rate, forty cents. Any man competent
t. add up q column Of figures and use
the multiplication table, could tell that
forty cents would never meet the inter
est, after paying necessary expenses.
The last interest before had been paid
by borrowing at ~ruinous rates. It was
evident to every man who was at all
acquainted with our financial condition
and resources that a compromise must
be made or absolute reputation would
follow. In the face Of all these facts
Governor Porter made preferred credi-
tors OF those who held the coupons due
Jnly /. 1875. There was no compromise
in That case. The peoples money, to the
amount Of over a half million dollars,
vas poured by the barrel into the inss-
table NAV Of Wall street. This little
freak Of his Excelleney cost the people
OF Tennesses several hundred thousand
dollars, which could have been saved as
we'll. That much Of the debt has been
placed beyond the reach of'any compro-
mise. This money, so paid out, would
have bought 10 a million Of our bonds.
The Governor will say there ia no law
TOR this. Nor is there any Law for a com-
promise which be now advocates since it
has become popular; but it will be made,
nevertheless, in accordance with the
principles Of equity aud justice. None
so blind as those who will not see.
