Hon. R. @. Mills, writing to the
Houston Telegram on the subject of
pensions to Mexican veterans, says:
Many persons understand that con-
gress has passed a law placing the
names of the surviving soldiers of the
Mexican war on the pension roll. 1t
is mistake. Under the law of July
10, 1S48, all soldiers engaged in the
military service of the United States
in Mexico who were honorably dis
charged were granted three months ex-
ira pay. Some of them have not drawn
their extra pay, and congress made an
appropriation to pay such as had not
done so. This is the only legislation
enacted on the subject of the soldiers
of the Mexican war. The pension bill
passed was for arrears of pay to Union
soldiers Very truly,
r, Q, MILLS.

derson, a worthy citizen abort
fftyLfve years old, was found
dead, yesterday morning, in a
woods lot near his residence, shot
through the head. The deed
was evidently done by murder
er, as no weapon can be found.
For some years he has been of
unsound mind, and frequently
wandered off TO visit relations.
Last Thursday he went TO Pin
son and was thought to be there
when his body was discovered.
He was seen on Sunday coming
from the depot, and was noticed
walking in the lot about noon

slept in an clubhouse Sunday
night. About fifty dollars was
folind on his person, which but
adds to the mystery. The most
horrible suspicious are uttered
but no clue as vet obtained.

Tennessee Finance.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 30.-Infor-
nation was received here late to-
night-that arrangements are be-
ing made by a combination of
the holders Of the funded cou-
pons of Tennessee bonds, a.
mounting to $5,000,000, to bring
a suit against this State, which
which will be almost as novel
and important as the suits re-
Gently instituted against the rail-
roads. 1t is held by many emf
nent lawyers that one State can
not sue another. IT is now pre-
posed to put this question to the
test. A donation Of 100000 in
funded coupon bonds will be
made to Maryland for the bene-
tit Of her charitable institutions.
1t is understood that proceedings
will then be instituted by which
that State viii bring suit against
Tennessee for the amount Of these
funded coupons held for such in
stitutions. The question is re-
garded as one Of the greatest
possible interest in connection
with the present status of the
Tennessee debt. 9.lf ~,
