county, affirming the decision OF the
court below, and sentencing Harniss
TO be hanged by the mock until dead.
at CLINTON, Anderson county, on Sat
urday, December 10Th, 1877.
The killing was done on the 18th of

have been one growing out Of the war,
Harniss being Il Union man. and
White on the opposite side. - Hroai-

WHAT SHOULD TENNESSEE
DO?

Our Tennessee friends must now
come to business. The holders of
the bonds of the STATE have made
them proposition which must be
considered at once. Its details are
not disclosed, but they come in SO
fair and PLAUSIBLE a shape that
Governor Porter has taken the re-
sponsibili.y of calling the Legisla-
ture together, and we have a right
to infer favorably Of them.
The present actual Indebtedness
of the State is $23, 1875, ,736, and
the bondholders propose to take GO
cents on the dollar. This would
reduce the debt to $l3,9l7, ,44L60,
or little less than Fourteen mil
lions of dollars. The annual in
terest on this will amount to $780,
600, requiring an annual rate OF
40 cents, or perhaps less.
Tho total assessment of taxable
property in the State is S235, ,00O,-
900. The 4 mills taxation on this
snm added to the licence and poll
tax will produce sum sum sulh-
cicnt to meet the interest, sustain
a sinking fund, and defray the
usual expenses of the State gov
ernment.
We hope no member Of the
present Legislature for a moment
moditates reputation, Such a
step will never do, nor Whit do
10 attempt to saddle the whole
debt on the taxpayers of the
State. Tho honor and the eXis-
tence Of the State alike demand a
compromise, aud this is tho auspi-
clous hour to secure it.
We agree with the Morristown
