The State Debt.
GREENEYILLE, July "a, 1879.

Mr.. EDITOR: The State debt
question was ably discussed at
Greeneville to-day before a large
and appreciative audience in the
court>house by Col. Minor Merri-
weather, of Memphis, against, and
Gems. Brien and Porter in favor of,
accepting the 5O-4 per cent propo-
sition.ss Col. Merryweather handles
his subject in a lawyer-like style, as
one who had bad case but must
defend the side he was on. He ad-
vanced the proposition that no Gov
eminent or Legislature had any
right to contract a debt that was
binding son op0sterity to pay, and
therefoFeRrgued that the debt Of
the State was not legal or binding
to be paid by the present genera.
ton, He plead our poverty to such
a degree, and our inability to pay,
that We were astonished to
learn from his lips how alb
jectly Spoor we were. In
fact, we should have never found il
out if he had not been here to give

us the information. A people who
can have a thousand dollars worth
of property before they can be
taxed, are not considered very dis
tressingly poor. Afterspeaking about
an hour, Gen. Portor took the floor
and was not long in demolishing
the propositions advanced by his
opponent. He spoke about three
quarters of an hour, handling his
subject in an able argument that
does great credit to him as a
debater.
Gen. Brien occupied the balance
of the time, and showed the entire
fallacy Of the propositions advanced
by Col. Merriweather, as to the
right of legislative body making
laws that are binding on a future
generation. He showed most con-
clusively that neither coulda govern.
ment be sustained or civilization
perpetuated by any such proposition
as his opponent had advanced. The
proposition was an astonishing one
to come from so able a lawyer.
Gen. Brien's speech lasted about an
hour, during which time his arga>
ments were SO forcible and his
points so well taken that every man
in the audience was convinced OF
both the truths and force of them

ACCORDING to the New York
Times, Cary, of Ohio, has been try
ing to stir up bad blood among the
laboring class, hoping thus to aid
the Democratic cause in that State.
The people of Ohio as mass,
have too much sense to drink down
such stuff, or to desire a reps
etition of such scenes as
cursed this country few years
ago, when, through the influence
of such unprincipIed demagogism
the labor strikes took place. The
Times has the following on the sub
ject:
THE vagaries of Mr.. s. f. Cary, OF
Ohio, are in themselves hardly more
than amusing. A man who thinks
that four hours day is all that this
country ought to require of its citi-
Zens; that we need more money in
circulation in this country than in
England, because distances from point
to point are greater !. who imagines
that the prosperityof France is due to
unlimited paper money issued after
the German war; and who believes
that no man not fool is at present
borrowing money to go into business
with in this country, is not deserv-
ing of much attention on the
score of sense and knowledge. But
these wild ideas, addressed to al
audience of working men, in the
course of a speech exposing the wrongs
of this class. and containing appeal:
TO the most dangerous passions, are by
no means as harmless as The standing
Of their advocates would otherwise
make them. The gist of Mr.. Cary g
speech seems to be, that the laborine
class are oppressed for the benefit OF
the rich,' and that the way to right
themselves is to elect men to Congress
who will vote unlimited greer. backs
"based" on the credit of the Govern.
ment. Just so far as such a measure is
adopted, the working men would suf
fer first, suffer most, and for the long
est time. They are even now paying
the penalty, from which other classe:
have in measure escaped or recov
cred, Of a considerable experiment
with the Gary scheme.

THE New York Times is of the

The New York Times Is OF the
opinion that there is no danger Of a
general yellow fever epidemic in the
South. 1t thinks that "early as
has been the appearance of yellow
fever in the South, it is evident that
there is not the slightest reason to
apprehend a repetition of the
scourge of last year. The Mem
phis- eases have all the characters
tics of strictly sporadic type of
the disorder, and reveal none of the
alarming features which accompany
its epidemic form. If there is but
little, room for alarm in the
South, there is certainly far less
in regard to the cases which have
reached maturity in Northern ports.
Not even such a foretaste of Au-
gust weather as New York enjoyed
yesterday could furnish any ground
for assuming that the meteorologi-
cal conditions were favorable to the
propagation of what are known as
the germs Of fever. Next to the
necessity of adopting all possible
precautions to keep our large cities
clean and wholesome, comes the OBJ
legation Of depressing the prepos-
ferrous 'scares,' which are almost
as powerful agents as filth and
neglect in forwarding the progress
of the disease"

ter, Julia, AZ present living with White
Swans band Of Yankton Indians, 30
miles above this place on the Missouri,
and making her home with the family
Of Colin La Mont, also Of mixed blood.
Those who knew Gen. Sully well while
campaigning against the Indians Of Da-
kota say that II his death he had no
wife nor any issue living except this
girl, and steps will soon be taken 70 es-
tablish her rights to the fortune. The
marriage Of Gen. Sully, according TO
Indian custom, with this girls squaw-
mother is susceptible Of proof, and il Is
believed that 1t viii be difficult to invai-
idate the claim. Gen. Sully's daughter,
who is well known TO those who have
travelled through the upper country, Is
regarded rs the handsomest Indian
maiden on the Missouri River or in tine
great Sioux Nation. She can not talk
English, and her habits are thoroughly
aboriginal. The daughter Of the late
Gen. Sully was frequently seen by the
writer, while engaged in surveying the
Yankton Reservation. Having occasion
to stop at the house Of Colin la Mont,
the girls handsome appearance attract
ed attention, and L. Mont was a-ked il
she was daughter Of his. La Mont
said, /" No, sir, she Is Sully's daughter,
