A Black-and-Tan Blot on Civil

Cincinnati Commercial, Redield in.
dulges in this strong and pointed
language:
The so-called Republican Govern
eminent in South Carolina has
been libel on civilization, ard the
sooner it is allowed to tumble over
through its own imbecility and rot
tenness the sooner we shall be re
lieved of disgrace. For Gov.
Chamberlain l have profound re
spect, but he can not control the ig
norant horde that is under him. A
Legislature that would elect Moses
and Whippler to the Bench, and
Patterson TO the Senate, deserves
the doom that is now fortunately
about to overtake it. The corrup-
ton OF the South Carolina Legisla-
ture for the past ten years has been
without aprecedent in the history of
the world. Offices and sacred pub
lie trusts are bought and sold, and
jobs carried on in SO shame-faced
and brazen a manner as to shock
credulity. 1t is said that the ne
groes, ground into the earth for
ages as they have been, don't know
any better than this; that their
moral sense has been blunted, and
that the whites are to blame for il.

Interest.

No blister draws sharper than in
terest does. OF all industries, none
is comparable to that of interest.
1t works day and night, in fair
weather and foul. 1t has no sound
in its footsteps, but travels fast. 1t
gnaws a mans substance with in
visible teeth. 1t binds industry
with its film, as a fly is bound upon
n spiders web. Debt rolls man
over and over, binding him hand
and foot, and letting him hang upon
the fatal wreck until the long-legged
interest dooms him. There is no
crop that can afford to pay interest
on money on farm. There is but
one thing raised on a farm like it,
and that is the Canadian thistle,
which swarms new plants every time
you bleed its roots, whose blossoms
are prolific and every one the father
of a million seeds. Every leaf is an
awl, every branch spear, and every
plant like a platform of bayonets,
and a field full Of them is like an
armed host. The whole plant is
torment and a vegetable curse. And
yet a farmer had better make his
bed of Canadian thistles than at
tempt to lie at ease upon interest.
How many have found the above

A star il a little thing, but it can

AT meeting of Texas veterans,
at Galveston, on the I'd, Hon. G. NJ.
Brien, president, said in the course
of his speech that forty one years
ago the liberty of the republic of
Texas was formally decreed. and
with a population less than that OF
Galveston the republic of Texas
was organized, and he thought it
but proper that the survivors of the
conflicts through which it passed
should keep forever green in their
hearts the recollections of the early
scenes. Texas had passed through
two bloody revolutions and existed
under five governments, and that
nothing could contribute more to
the perpetuity of the old boundary
lines than a frequent recurrence to
the past history of the republic.
He would ever oppose any and all
to divide the State, and
would countensnce no disturbance
of the present confines unless it be
to move them westward to the Sic
RI del Madrc.

OUR STATE DEBT.
Proposition of the Arbiters APP
pointed by the Bondholders.
A Basis of Sixty Cents on the
Dollar Suggested.

New YORK, March 14.-George
S. Coe, j. ID. Vermilye, B. B. Sher
man, b. b. Comegys and Enoch
Pratt. who, at the recent meeting in
this city to consider the adjustment
of the Southern States debts, were
appointed a committee to confer on
the subject with committees from
Southern States, after a conference
recently appointed by the Tennes
see Legislature, has decided that
the following plan would be an eq-
uitable one for adjusting the debt
of that State: After adding all ar
rears of interest and interest to &C
crue up to July l, 1877, the then
aggregate amount of the State debt
would be readjusted by the issue Of
new bonds at the rate of 60 per cen
tum of the total amount, the new
bond to bear interest at the rate of
6 per centum per annum from the
lst of July, 1877, payable semi an
nually in the city of New York, the
first payment of interest to be made
on TIE 1st of January. 1878, and the
principle to be made payable also in
New York in thirty years from date,
interest coupons to be received by
the State for all taxes due to it.
The committee think that the bonds
issued under the proposed adjust
ment should be uniform in terms
and conditions of payment and in
their general appearance, and they
also express the conviction that the
State will be able at an early day
TO provide a fund for the gradual
extinguishment of the debt.

How to Build up a Town.

When you have few dollars do
not run off to some other town to
spend it. Remember that every
dollar taken away is gone, never to
return. When you have employ
ment for hands do not go away and
hire some one from some other
place to perform it for you, when
the same la5or can be done as well
and cheap by our own townsmen.
Build up your own schools and
churches. Help in every way you
can any enterprise of merit. Never
speak of anything to the disparage-
ment of your institutions. Patronize
and in every way aid your own me-
chanics, your laborers, your doc
tors, merchants, and every other
man with an honest employment.
Encourage every enterprise that
will bring a dollar to your town by
honest means, and discourage every
thing that tends to drive away labor
or capital, and we will astonish the
oldest inhabitants. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the appearance of
a town often has a great deal of in
fuence with most people in decid-
ing whether they would be content
to reside there or not, and we would
suggest to our citizens the impor-
lance Of keeping their homes and
surroundings in as neat Il style as
possible for them to do. tits their
duty to do so from a sense of per
sonal pride as well as for the respect
due the community in which they
reside, to keep their places looking
neat and tasty.

A newspaper correspondent styl-

smelling around Hayes lately, and

culiarities are these: Perfect mental
tranquility, perfect physical health,
and a clear conscience. He is mod

firm as the rocks of Gibralta

come to say yes or no. Religiously
Governor Hayes is a Methodist, but
unlike his pious wife, he is not a

attends regularly, the Methodist
Church. He does not smoke, can't
play cards, and never owned a fast
horse; never was a member of Re

who will surely finish the work be-

who will bring peace to struggling
