AS to that branch of the debt compris-
ing the bonds issued to solvent railroad
companies, It is not probable any ad4
justment of it can be made until the
question-of lien is settled. If the de-
cision is in favor Of the roads, the ad-
justment win be with the bondholders,
and if in favor of the boudholders,
the adjustment will be with ihe compa-
nies.
As to that part Of the debt embracing
the postwar bonds, no part Of it should
be settled now. or hereafter, only in so
far as The bonds were issued, sold and
used in conformity to law.
The State is able to provide for the
first branch Of the debt when adjusted,

The Rev. Henry Morgan has been

The Rev. Henry Morgan has been
personally investigating Boston's wick.
edness. One of his latest fields was
baby farming. He says that woman
kept nursery adjoining n popular
hotel. She procured barrels of cold
victuals for her babies from the refuse
of the hotels. The infants cries dis
turbed the hotel boarders, and the
proprietor petitioned for her removal.
She went to another place, leaving
three dead babies in her bureau draw
er. Her old mother complained, be-
fore they moved, that she couldn't
sleep in the same room with the dead
infants, so they were put outdoors and
covered up in q wash'ub. The Board
of Health were put on her track,
when, fearing trouble, she applied for
license, which the Board of Alder
men refused to grant. A powerful
official took up her case, demand
ing she be licensed, and it was done.
She was again ordered to move, and
simply went to central locality,
where her business increased. At last
she was arrested. but the only penalty
was fine of 81 and costs.

AnotherDamage Suit.

A gentleman hailing from st. Louis
came here last Tuesday and employed
counsel to prosecute a suit against the
Louisville, Nashville q CT. Southern
Railroad for damages for putting him
off train at Trezevant. The circum-
stances as narrated to us, are about as
follows. He purchased a ticket from
Milan to Mckenzie, but when the con-
ductor came around had misplaced it,
and paid the money. Before the train
reached Mckenzie he found the ticket,
and hunting up the conductor tried to
get him to take it and return the IN On
ey, which that worthy positively re-
fused 10 do. Of course at this the gen.
tleman was somewhat incensed, but
wisely held his peace and rode to his
destination. On the return tripof the
same conductor our hero boarded the
train, and rendered in payment of his
fare the ticket he had purchased the
day before at Milan, and as a matter
of course it was no 60 and the passen-
ger refusing to pay, he was put off. If
this version of this affair be true, both
conductor and passenger were in fault
the former in not refunding the mon
ey when the ticket was found Iand the
latter in attempting to ride from
Mckenzie to Milan ON ticket from
Milan to Mckenzie. We believe
railroads should be made to respect
the rights of citizens, but at the same
time railroads have certain rales which
travellers should be compelled by civil
law to oobserve.-HuntiagdOn Vndica-

METHODIST LITERATURE.


The Methodist Publishing House
at Nashville is doing a noble work in
spreading wholesome and valuable
literature. On our table We find sew
eral recent publications which are
brim-full of interest, and deserve no~
tice at our hands.
A catechism ON Church Govern.
ment," with special reference to th.t
of the Methodist Church, South, by
Bishop McTyeire is a small, neatly
printed and admirably-arranged vol
ume, setting forth in lucid way the
doctrines of the Church. Its merits
will doubtless give it an early popu-
larity, particlarly among Methodists.
The learned Bishop is also the
author of catechism CT "Bible His
tory" which is finely adapted for the
use of families, Bible-classes and Sun
day-schools. 1t is small book, but
from a cursory perusal of it we con-
clude it is multum in parro. One feat
ure of the work that deserves attens
ton is, that beautiful illustrations
adorn its pages, and serve to impress
upon the minds of the young impOr-
tant bible incidents.
We next take up there ably>writteE
treatises by the Rev. B. W. Bond,
one of the most distinguished men,
bers of the Baltimore Conference, M.
E. Church. The subjects considered
are "The Religion of Money" "Fam-
lily Religion" and "Infant Baptism. y
The author is evidently man of clear
thought, a capital logician and a
strong writer.
A Methodist Catechism" for small
children has long been needed, and
the demand has at last been supplied
by Rev. Alexander Ihigpen, of the
North Georgia Conference. Chill
dren's catechisms heretofore used con-
tanned numerous errors and were illv
suited for small children, but this one,
just out, will, we dare say, soon have
a liberal introduction into Sabbath,
schools.
AS is usually the ease, we have
saved the best for the last. 1t is the
new "Quarterly Review" published
under the auspices of the III. +.
Church, South. The second number
of volume one has u liable of contents
that would make it eagerly sought by
scholars as well as the general reader.
1t is edited with decided ability, and
if kept at its present standard Of ex-
cellence, will at once take rank with
the leading reviews of the country.

The other day the widow of a rich
Milwaukean, who is somewhat noted
for her verbal inaccuracies, visited the
cemetery and planted some columbines
over her husbands grave. On her re-
turn she met party of friends, who
asked where she had been. "Oh, =
she said, II have been taking some
concubines out to Forest Home and
putting them on my husbands grave;
he was so fond of them when he was
aliYe?"

How q Democratic Editor was
Served for Leaving his Paper
to the Mercy of q Republican
Friend.
lin order fully to appreciate the
following article the reader will bear
in mind that the Union is an old
fashioned Democratic weekly, and
that every editorial and political par
agraph in the last issue, from which
the article in question is taken, are in
.ensely Republican.
Fayette County Qowa) Union.
TO THE PUBLIC.
We were requested by the editor
of the Union to take charge of the pa
per during his absence on the editori-
al excursion to Manitoba and to con-
duct its columns in a proper manner,
and as "we thought best" We have
conscientiously endeavored to do SO.
Feeling that a change of hearts as well
as politics would purify it, even if it
were only for week, we have striven
to make good Republican sheet out
of it. We appreciate the wrath to
come, as well as the terror that the
black cane that ye editor always car.
ries, will inspire, to say nothing of his
No. 9 boot. Still we feel secure, for
time at least; for like the war-horse
of Gen. Mcclellan, we will snuff the
smoke of battle afar off. We are
quite positive that about the time
McClintock comes back, we will have
business in The Eastern States that will
detain us some weeks. We know
what became of John Phoenix, of Cal.
ifornia, who transferred Whig to a
Democratic sheet, but, unlike him,
we have no extra ears or noses TO lose.
We have simply done our duty from
literal Interpretation of the editors
parting instructions to conduct the
paper as we thought best" We fur
ther say that We are not responsible
for the previous political complexion
or utterances of this paper, and, it is
unnecessary to add, for its future posi-
ton. We only think it superAuous
to say that the editor is not response
bic for its political sayings this week.
1t may be a case of misplaced con-
6denee," yet we emphatically be-
lieve in the old saying, with single
addition, that all is fair in love, war
and politics. We would like to place
at the head of these columns the Re-
publican State ticket and platform,
but McClint6ck, who never does any
thing by halves, has electrotyped his
own platform and ticket, nailed, SOL
dered and weighted il to the form, so
the readers will have to take the
will for the deed. If there,is any
thing in this issue but what is good
Republican doctrine, the reader must
know that there is something wrong
in Denmark, " and that the "devip has
surreptitiously inserted it, or that the
editor had returned and we are
knocked into "pi."

Tennessee Crop Reports.

NASHVILLE, July 5.-The report
Of the commissioner of agriculture,
statistics and mines for June, shows
the wheat crop to be three-fourths Of
an average and of a very superior
quality of grain. The corn crop will
exceed an average, and it is reported
fine all over the State. Tobacco is
promising, but the crop is not so large
as last year by probably third.
Grasses are materially damaged by
drought. Gotten is very promising,
the dry weather having been propi-
tious; the acreage has increased fifteen
per cent. over 1878.

lars, every cent oft being contributed
by the members of the demi-monde.
The solicitors visited the office of the
chief of police, ON Adams street, and
handed over the amount to him to be
applied as he thought best toward the
relief of the child. This was char
table and good act on the part oftwo
women of the town.-Memphis Ap-

ABOUT the year 1872, j.. M. Robinson.
we'll known in this county, and a school
boy chum named Polk, from the sunny
South, met at the home of a mutual friend
Evans at their old home in Princeton, Ind.
Zach enthusiastic for the country of his
adoption spun lengthy yarns as to their pro-
duction. We do not remember how large
the sweet potatoes grew at Memphis, but
Robinson capped the climax by asserting
that Montana grew turnips that would
weigh 80 pounds. The story of each was
incredible to their Hoosier friend. SO a wa
ger was made by each that they could send
samples on their return home. In due
course of time Folks specimen was on hand,
| and the local paper called on "Jack" for
his 3o-pound turnip, to which Jack replied
he would double the wager and give them
10 pounds, making it a 40-pound turnip;
but on receiving the notice the Hoosier edi-
tor was thoughtful enough to remind his
Montana friend to prepay expressage, which
ended the controversy. The following from
the Bozelnan Courier of last week will con-
vince our skeptical brother of the quill that
Montana is''boss" in the way of produc-
ton: From the appearance of mann
moth cabbage we saw III General Wilson's
store yesterday, we infer that the Edwards
Bros, of Elk Grove, are not only successful
~raisers of fine sheep, but ION a pinch' can
raise as fine vegetables as can be produced
In Montana. The cabbage referred to was
raised on their ranch, is hard and solid, and
weighs just 8 0psands. We are informed
they lave lots more of the same kind, and
turnips that will kick the beam at 4(
pounds" Beat it if you can in any cline.
