SCHEDULE.

The bill reducing and limiting
the pay Of clerks of courts passed
both houses OF the Legislature. AS
we understand it, the bill limits all
salaries to $4,000, and all fees over
that amount are To be turned over
TO the State. 1t not only invites
Incidence and pays it the same as
industry and watchtulness in office,
but provides nothing for the i'm
mense difference in labor required
in some offices over that of others.
We are in favor of remuneratIng
the officer like the laborer or arti
zan-accordIng to his industry and
the amount of work and kind of
work performed. The idea of
making the pay of the clerks in
Lewis or Wayne or Lawrence or
even Giles equal to that of clerks
in Davidson is preposterous. In
stead of being "a bill to equalize
the salaries of officers" it is decid
ejly an unequalizer. We make no
opposition to reduction Of pay to
these officials, but we oppose the
manner of doing it. 1t should be
done in an equitable and just man
ner. Let each man have the same
fee for the same work. If one does
more work than another, let him
have more pay in proportion. If
the fees are too large, reduce them
but reduce them all alike.

Sanguine Views.

Nashville special to the New
York Herald: "The suit of the
bondholders against the railroads
of Tennessee has created a pro
found sensation. The impression
Is general that the legislature,
which refused to compromise the
debt last session, opened the way to
a possible settlement more burden
some to the State. If the bond
holders gain the suit, the State will
have substituted home tor foreign
creditors, and WILDE compelled to re-
imburse the railroads The raIl
roads and their stockholders are a
powerful interest, connected so
closely with all the interests in the
State, that they will be very strong
in their demand for reimburse
ment for bonds paid to the State
under its own laws. The suit will
certainly bring about settlement
much more speedy than was deem
ed possible. Quite change of
views has been created already, and
the reign of demagoguery is about
to'come tv a close"

Marshal Mcmahon. President OF
France, has resigned, and NJ. Grevy,
late President OF the Chamber OF
Deputies, was elected on first ballot
to I'LL the vacancy. The new presi-
dent is liberal republican. The
grand old Marshal preferred TO sac
rifice office and power ratLer than
principle. The Chambers and Cab
met wanted him to approve law
which was humiliating to the army
and he said he would be untrue to
himself and to the true interests Of
his country to do so, and rather
than he rec cant to a high sense of
honor, he would surrender the pres
idency. He was the first to con-
graduate the new president. This
peaceful change in the government
augurs well for its stability.

The State to be Sued.

1t is said that arrangements are
being made by a combination of
the holders of the funded coupons
of Tennessee bonds. amounting to
five million dollars, TO bring suit
against this State, which will al
most be as novel aud important as
the suits recently instituted against
the railroads. 1t is held by many
eminent lawyers that one State can
not sue another. 1t is now pro
proposed to put this question to
the test, a donation of one hundred
thousand dollars in funded coupon
bonds will be made to a certain
Southern State for the benefit of
her charitable institutions. 1t is
understood that proceedings will
then be instituted, by which that
State will bring suit against Ten
nessee for the amount OF these
funded coupons held for such insti-
buttons. The question is regarded
as one of the greatest possible in
terest in connection with the
present status of Tennessee's debt.

Almshouse Burned.


Louisville, January Il: The Lou

miles south of the city, was entire.
IL destroyed by ire-the origin OF
which is unknown-at ten o o'clock
this morning. Three hundred and
forty persons were in the place al
the time, nearly ali OF whom es
capped James Ridley, imbecile,
was burned fatally; Fred Meyer, in
escaping, broke his neck; Henry
Keyler persisted in the flames;
Thomas Dixon was killed by fall;
Nathan Caldwell was seriously
hurt, and Mrs johnson severely
burned probably will die. The exit
scene is described as horrible in
the extreme, but the most marvel

attending it; nearly all the inmates
were aged invalids. imbeciles and
there were more colorcI
persons than any uther class, and
strange to say, none were seriously
injured. Their ages ranged from
fifty to one hundred and eight
years. The building was erected
by the city of Louisville in 1874 at
a cost of one hundred and seventy
five thousand dollars, and was in

The Nashville Banner says the
joint rule proposed by Senator Ed
munds, and intended to prevent
hasty and i'll considered legislation,
is good one, and might be adopt
ed by the Tennessee Legislature
with beneficial results to the tax
payers of the State. The rule pro-
vides that no bill shall be acted
upon in the last three days of the
session, except those pending be-
tween the two Houses in conse-
quence OF disagreeing votes, and
that no bill shall be sent to the Ex-
ecutive for his signature on the last
day of the session. The object of
the rule is to prevent hasty legisla-
tion. With a sharp advocate on
the floor and friendly Speaker in
the chair, almost any job can be
put through in the closing hours of
a legislative body. The adoption
of such a joint rule by Congress
would save the country millions of
dollars. Its adoption by the Leg
isture of Tennessee would be in the
line of economy and general reform.

The testimony against the little
bulldozing rascal, Johnny Daven
port, Federal Supervisor of Elec
tions at New York, is very conclu
sive. The most respectable wit
nesses are proving every charge
heretofore made against him as to
making unlawful arrests and pre-
venting voters from going TO the
polls by practicing fraud and vio-
lence, etc. Davenport is a fair sam
pie of these supervisors, whose
Office was created for a purely par
tisan purpose and is a disgrace to a
free republic. Wherever Federal
supervisors are found there is al
most invariably found the greatest
amount of Republican fraud and
general rascality. In the South the
office has been used simply TO dis
franchise Democratic voters. That
is where the law was mainly TO OPP

Samuel and James Wilkins, of
Groveland, Oakland county, Mich,
are twins. They were born in 1898
and for men nearly 80 years of age,
are hale. hearty and robust. They
have accumulated considerable prop
erty; both being farmers, their
farms nearly joining, and both 60
ing into the woods and clearing up
their farms about the same time.
They resemble each other so close
Iy that their neighbors cannot tell
them apart. They both married
sisters on the same day. One pc
culiarity of particular note is that
when one is sick with any disease,
as fever or other prostrating illness,
the other is taken with the same
complaint within few.hours even
though he is is not aware of his
brothers illness.

by Judge Hughes in regard to the
Arlington estate practically settles
the question of ownership in favor
OF Gen Custis Lee. Judge Hughes
conclusions are fully fortified by de
cisions of the Supreme Court in

now make arrangements to pur
chase the estate. This is all the Lee
heirs demand. They will not re-
quire the government to give them
possession, it it will pay them a

A. S. colyar on the Railroad Suits.

The Nashville American publish
ed letter from A. 5. Colyar to MIR.
John A. Gardner, chairman of the
house Judiciary committee, as to
the railroad suits, which he sums
up as follows: "This case, in my
opinion, raises a question which is
conclusive against the bondholder.
The State cannot be charged as
trustee because it cannot be sued,
the State being a necessary party
to any proceeding to foreclose the
mortgage, the difficulties, in the
language of Justice Bradley, are in
surmountable. The amendment to
the constitution of the United
States, protecting the States against
suits, was made, as Mr.. Story says
in his work on the constitution, to
prevent the Federal government
from interfering in behalf of State
creditors. The State In It's sover
eign capacity having taken a mort
gage for its own indemnity, and
having in good faith and In strict
conformity to the act, twelfth sec
ton, and amendatory acts, protect
ed itself by having the railroads
pay in the amount for which 1t is
bound, no court can afford to 60
by the State and give the bondhold-
ers a lien on the roads. Such a
proceeding would not only be to
disregard a plain statute, as well as
adjudications, but total
from the most vital prIn-
ciples of chancery proceedings"
