TUESDAY, JANUARY IA, 1879,

Our Legislators seem disposed 70
encourage the States expenditures
by an indiscriminate reduction OF
salaries. The salary of the Governor
of Judicial officers and Of the
Comptroller and. Treasurer are to
be cut down largely. We have
heard of no reduction Of the per
diem of Legislators, however Tins
is perhaps an oversight-perhaPS
not. We have always favored the
payment of fair salaries to judicial
officers. We should pay enough to
secure the very best legal talent on
the Bench. We fear that there may
be a disposition now to reduce sal
aries to too low a point. This
appears to be especially true OF tho
Supreme Judges. If the member;
of our Supreme Bench do then
duty, they have a great deal o
nard work to DO. The dOckets a
all their courts are heavy, and al
most the entire time of the Judge
is taken up holding court. Thi
question Of reducing salaries IS on
that ought to be very carefully cor
sidered.

TIE REPUBLICANS OF THE
ROUSE.

In looking over the fuller report
of the proceedings in the House OF
Representatives at Nashville,as they
appear in the American, we ind
that on the proposition to dodge
the State debt question, the Repuo-
lican members voted to a man
against il. Demagogues VIII
charge that they are afraid OF the
people, and for that reason voted
against a reference of the question
for settlement at the ballOt-bOx.
But this is not true. 1t only means
that they have the courage to de-
eide such questions as the constItu-
ton of the State anticipates they
shall decide. 1t means that they
propose to meet this grave issue IN
a manly way. All honor to their
good Judgment, courage and patriot
ism. Of the nineteen votes given
against this proposition to dodge.
thirteen of them were Republicans
While this question is one of tee
much gravity to be made partisan
issue, we nevertheless feel proud o
the stand taken by the little banc
Of faithful Republicans in tn
House of Representatives. W
have given Gov. Porter credit 70
his brave words on this question
and thank him for the position h
assumed in his message. We di
this, Notwithstanding he Is a Demt
cratic Governor. We rejoice
believe that he is a type of thor
sands of honest Democrats N tt
State. At the same time, we d
sire to express our thanks to the Il
publicans of the House, who thoug
comparatively few in numbers, al
in a hopeless minority, stood |
in solid phalanx in favor of homes
and justice to the people and the
creditors. Their constituents W
endorse their action, and they W
have the proud satisfaction of ha
ing done their duty. They ha
done just what we supposed tn
would do, and what the men W
elected them supposed they wou
but this detracts nothing from
credit to which they are entitled.

over them. In places in Sierra Valley

THE SANITARY CONDITION OF
MEM PMS.

A Memphis physician writes to the
Cincinnati Commercial The impression
seems to have gained ground that Mem
phis is in q bad sanitary condition.
When the charter OF the city was re-
psaled, and Memphis became a special
taxing district, the affairs OF the district
were entrusted to a body OF men known
q the Board Of Public Works" men
recognized a. among our best and most
honest Of any OF the citizens. Imnedi.
ately that this Board was organized its
members proceeded to inaugurats q sys-
tenn Of sanitary improvement. Begin
ming early in the season-in February
the city was canvassed by specially ap-
pointed inspectors. Every house. out
building and yard in the district has
been inspected. Over two thousand no.
tees to abats existing nuisances have
been served. A large force was also put
upon the streets and alleys, and today
excepting the fact that those streets that
we're paved with the Nicolson are in q
bad condition mot bad from II sanitary
standpoint)-the streets OF Memphis are
a. good as those Of any other city. Over
four thousand loads Of refuse material
OF various kinds have been taken up
and dumped into the river from the
dump especially constructed by the dis
trio. government for the purpose. 1t is
today tho universal verdict that the
streets. alleys. yards, houses. outbuild-
ings and bsyous have never been in so
good q condition as regards cleanliness.
