The state Debt Question.
DASCYvILLE, Tenn, March 20, 1873.

DASCYvILLE, Tenn, March 90 1873
Mr.. Editor:
I read your editorial on the State debt
critically, with the Hveliest interest. If it
did not sound too much like kattery, [
would say unqualiiedly it is an admirable
production. l tried to find objections,
thinking that at least it might act as spur
to quicken your efforts on that subject, but
you anticipated all objections and lett no
room for controversy. 1t seems to me all
well informed and virtuous minds must en-
dorse your position but unfortunately these
are not always IN the majority. But pub
lie journalist, OF course, should not make
such Il charge, but do as you DO, strive TO
cnlighten the public mind and elevate the
moral sentiment of the popuiace 81 have
no credit, and what care for the credit of
the State" is a sentiment l heard used by
one OF no mean position in society. This
sentiment Is too prevalent At this time, no
doubt irritated by the merciiess greed of
creditors. But 1 think the bondholders
show Il degree Of Hberality unusual with
that class, and if they agree to compromise
at fifty cents in the dollar, at six, five and
four per cent, We had much better do it
than tarnish the reputation of our State, fer
that would certainly OVsrbalance those
bonds that many honest people and poll
ticians do not consider legitimate. l am
not certain but that State tas much as [
/ conccde TO State rights,) that repudiates
should be thrown into a territorial govern
ment. l heartily endorse your views Of
| raising this money. These big salaried
offices III the State and county should be cut
down, and the hard earned money of the
! people go to pay these debts, and let them
| have such compensation for their services as
other men of equal ability get in the ordi-
nary occupations of life, and let our legis-
| lators, instead of squandering time and
money legislating for birds and fishes, look
/ to the interest OF their constituents you
intimate; let petty larceny be disposed of
! before magistrate and let him send the
culprit to the workhouse or whipping-post,
and save thousands of dollars to pay this
debt, and let, as you say, each county bear
! the cost OF its own prosecutions. You are
right there. Ii need be, property would UNI
complainingly submit to be taxed when the
money is not wasted in foolish expenditure
You see l have expressed myself unreserv-
eddy. We agree SO cordially there Is no fun

AN INCOME TAX.

The discussion for several months
past over the revival of an income tax,
has finally assumed definite shape.
As soon as the Tariff bill is disposed
Of, this measure will be submitted to
the committee. The majority of the
members of the House, from the
south and west, favor this bill. Only
four members of the committee having
this question in hand are from the
cast, four from the south, and one
from the west, majority being in its
favor. The proposed bill cxempts
from taxation incomes of 81, 900 and
under. Incomes of over $4,000 and
not more than So, 900, are to be taxed
at two per cent. Incomes of not more
than $4,000 and not lest than S.
900 are taxed three per cent, and all
incomes over $40, 900 are to be taxed
four per cent. In all cases where an
income tax is collected, the amount OF
other taxes paid is to be deducted
from the income.

KENTUCKY'S DEBTS.
Reports that Armed and Organized Forces
will Resist their Collection.

CINC1NNATI, March pa great hue
and cry is being raised in central and
western Kentucky over the payment
of debts. Reliable reports say that
the state of feeling in some counties is,
that if eastern capitalists and other
creditors attempt to enforce the col
lection of their claims, downright law
lessness will result. Threats are made
that executions and foreclosures will be
met with armed, organized, and, if
necessary, bloody resistance. Many
of the wealthiest men in the districts
named, who themselves are out of
debt, declare they will join in such
resistance rather than see their neigh
boris property sacrificed for one-sixth
of its value. Representatives now at
the Capital are urging the immediate
passage of prompt stay law, which
they say, is necessary to save the
State from universal ruin. They rep
resent that the products of the soil
have deprecated enormously in val
ne and that the stock-raising interests,
in which heavy sums are invested, is
PROSTATE. The region from which
these lugubrious reports come is agri-
cultural, and one Of the richest in the
country.

"Do you ask what will educate
your son? Your example will edu-
cate him; your conversation with your
friends; the business he sees you trans
act: the likings and dislikings he
hears you express, these will educate
him. The society you live in will
educate him above all, your rank,
your situation in life, your home, your
table will educate him. 1t is not in
your power to withdraw from him the
continual influence of these things, ex-
cept YOU were to withdraw yourself
from them also. Education goes on
at every instant of time; you can
neither stop it nor turn its course.
What these have a tendancy to make
your child, that viii he be.

A NON who Never smiles.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republic
can says: Governor Rice is asked
to pardon one O'Dounell, of Mil
bury, from Charlestowp, and a gem
tleman who recently visited the
State prison thus tells his story:
Z Gentlemen said the warden, Il
want to bring before you one of the
most remarkable cases we have in
the prison. We call him the man
who never SMILES and / wish, be-
fore he comes in, to tell you his
story. He seems to be a man Of
more than ordinary ability, one of
the better class of substantial, fru-
gal Irish citizens, who ewned a
small place in one of our manufac-
turing villages, where he resided
with his family of groBn-up sons
and daughters, all permanently
employed, and in comfortable cir
cumstances. The old man had a
fine garden, on which he bestowed
his leisure hours, in a part Of which
was a fine lot Of cabbages. 1t seems
that the boys in the neighborhood
had a habit Of tresspassing on the
old mans garden until he had de-
termined on getting rid Of them by
firing his gun to brighten them
away. One night, hearing some one
in his garden, he took down his
gun, and, getting behind the hedge,
fred into the garden, as he claims,
without aim or seeing anyone TO
aim at. But the report of the gun
alarmed the neighborS, who, on
rushing into the garden, found the
l%ifeless body Of a young girl, shot
through the heart. The old man,
when told what he had done, was
struck dumb. He was arrested and
sentenced to Imprisonment for life.
He has now been here for ten years,
and bis face has become as marble;
there is no hope, nothing but the
sad remembrance Of that dreadful
night. In Ireland they have a
superstition among the young girls
that whoever on Halloween shall
place a cabbage over the door will
marry the first young man that
enters the door afterward. And
this, it proved, was the errand of
the Young girl in the old mans gar
den. But instead of q wedding she
found a grave"
