NIT that they have been only 'fooling"
all this time, and really meant fifty
when they said sixty. Ifso, the pre-
sumption will be greatly strengthened
that they might be induced to take
forty aud four, which is believed by
those who have studied the figures
closely, to be as much as the produc-
tive capacity of the State can stand
for any considerable period, The meet
ing adopted the following preamble
and resolutions, which We publish as
matter of history:
Whereas, The legislature Of Tennessee,
at its recent session. passed an act propo-
sing to the bondholders Of the State set
tement of the liabilities Of the State of
Tennessee at the rate Of fifty cents on the
dollar, with four per cent. interest; and
Whereas, Without discussing whether
this rate Of settlement meets our views or
not, as whether We as citizens and tax
payers, would have been in favor Of offer
ing more, or would have preferred less,
we recognize the action Of the legislature
as entitled to our respectful consideration.
This result was reached after a long an
laborous effort by compromise in which
every view ofthe situation was elaborated
with signal ability and research; and
Whereas, There must be an end of all
strife, whether between c0unterviews of
policy or the opposition Of physical forces,
and We are desirOus of peace and repose.

all shades of partisan, political opinion,

Tennessee, and do hereby pledge ourselves
that should such proposition be accepted
by them we will do all in our power to

the people Of Tennessee, and to carry out

1 Resolved, further, That said committee

that may be Of benefit to them in theil

1t remains to bo seen first, whether
the bondholders will come down
second, whether the people will vol

most of which is to go out Of th,
State forever; and third, if the propos

MADAME PATTERSON -BoNAPARTE
died yesterday at Baltimore, at the
advanced age Of 81, and this breaks
the last direct connection with the
family of the great Napoleon. A
cotemporary says;
She outlived everybody, aad almost
everything Her husband, the youngest
brother Of Napoleon, who married her at
10. and lived tO be 20, has been dead 10 years.
All the actors in tho great wars Of the
French emperor every character in that
grand and startling drama Of which he
was the hero, appear now to belong to
ancient history. Elizabeth Patterson, the
pretty daughter of tho Baltimore mer-
chant, was married u years before the
battle Of Waterloo. Napoleon was then
first consul, and jerome Bonaparte was
only II lieutenant in the French army, his
imperial brother not then having power
to Knock down the anointed sovereigns oil
Europe and set up the members Of his
family in their stead. After Waterloo,
Nine. Patterson Bonaparte attracted wide
attention in Paris from the most distin-
guished people. Wellington admired her
beauty; Talleyrand complimented her;
Nine. De Stael called her lovely. A few
years ago the secret correspondence recit-
ing the negotiations which, it was fondly
believed, would result in placing on Betsy
Patterson's shapely head one of the raw
ished crowns Napoleon was preparing to
distribute TO his brothers, was found, It is
said, among the rubbish of Baltimore
rag-shop, and destroyed. 1t would read
strangely by the light of subsequent
events.

If there is any distinction between
"a while and "a time" it is often
