Mr.. EDIToR II see in your issue of the
18th the following article, Property owners
and business men generally favor the SOL
and strange to say, those who pay only a
poll are loud-mouthed in opposing the
proposed settlement" In this think you
are mistaken. Your readers both in and out
OF the State might infer from this article
that the poor people are in favor of repudi-
alton or opposed to a fair settlement OF the
State debt. I have not heard much said on
the subject but 1 am inclined 10 the opinion
that the property owners and Poll-tax men
las you call them) in No 8 are nearly all
opposed to the proposition, irrespective of
party, property, or any selfish motive. As
for business men we have none in the coun-
try and are not anxious to have anv if they
are composed of such material as some are
who style themselves business men. Now
Mr.. Editor am one of the poll-tax men
and opposed to the proposition and if vote
will vote against 1t for the following rea-
sons:
1st. Because if it is a just debt it should
be paid to the last dollar.
2. Ii it is not just the people should not
be taxed to pay it.
Now if this proposition is voted down no
one is hurt, it goes back to The people, and
if we can ever get Representative who has
sense and industry enough to do so, we will
be informed as to the nature and cause of
the whole debt, and when such is the case
you need not be alarmed for the people Of
Tennessee are not going to repudiate an
honest debt-but you say pay half the. debt
any way. Has it ever occurred to you that
this would be a swindle You swindle the
creditors or you swindle the people
Now Mr.. Editor, believing that you
sincerely desire the welfare of all
classes, let me ask you to quit that fra;l
bark, which is supposed to be composed of
bad material, and take passage with the
honest hard-hsted men OF the State and we
will land you safely in heaven of porsper-
ity, happiness and honor. PHALANx.

he would come out two to one better on his
muscle than he did in his discussion.
Gen. Dupuy replied to the DIR. and to use
little slang, he "chawed7 him up and
spit him out-his speach was a telling one.
1t struck to the core, and we think produced
an effect.
Col. Gates made the closing speach. We
have too much respect for old age TO criti-
CHE his remarks. We will say however
that he and DIR. Leonard said very little
that related to the subject under discus
sion.
They spoke of things foreign to it and
in referring to it appealed not to reason but
to the passions Of the people, urging them
as does their companion Mr.. Savage, not TO
enslave themselves and their children for
benefit of the monied aristocracy. It is
time they were getting up new theme to
harp on. This one has become stale. Mr.
Norment and Gen. Dupuy appealed to
reason and gave facts and figures that bore
them ont in all they said.
All passed off harmoniouely and we hope
the discussion Will result in thereclamation
of many anti-compromisem men.
Yours very truly, COMPROMISES & Co.

Dunlap Springs Opening.

The entertainment OF Dunlap Springs
Monday evening was quite an enjoyable
affair. The weather was pleasant for sum-
mer and everything contributed to the en-
joyment OF the guests The company was
composed principally of young people,
quite "A number of whom were from Hickory
Valley, and they 'tripped their fantastic toe
to the music of Ross band until o'clock
in the morning.
The Springs have not been opened for
visitors since the war up to this time, and
it reminded one OF ante-bellum times to see
those young folks enjoying themselves once
more beneath the roof of old Dunlap.
OF course the Springs are not to be COM
pared with what they once were in their
PALMER days. The houses are not SO nu-
merous nor SO comfortable, and things have
come to rack to some extent but they are still
good enough for summer residences. There
are several families from Bolivar now re-
siding at the springs, and several others
expect to go in a few days AIr.J Fentress
and +. Williams have recently had the
buildings fitted up for the reception of
guests, and they are now prepared to ente.-
tain ten or twelve families for the summer.
The culinary and housekeeping department
in charge of Mrs. A. Fentress, who, Iguar-
antee, will give you as good accommodations
as any other watering places of this kind.
The Springs are delightful place for
those desiring a cool and retired place to
spend the summer.
The other attractions connected with the
Springs are Mrs. Jessie Fentress and the
Messrs Fentress and Williams who are al
ways ready either to assist about the house
keeping or entertaining guests, both of which
they are so good att is hard to tell in which
they excel. If you don't believe this go out
and take a look forvourself. D. S.

EDITOR BULLETIN In YOUR last issue
you give partial report of the discussion
between Col. Colyar and myself at Grand
Junction. In that report occur sore ex-
pressions which are calculated to leave the
impression that was disrcspcctfuI toward
Col. Coiyar, and that the people OF the J unc-
ton and vicinity were guilty of absolute
rudeness. l don't think the facts will JUS
tify any such conclusion. The first inter
ruption occurred when I began to read the
ticket on which Col. Colyar was elected to
the Legislature in 1877. As soon as I read
the heading" Mr. Colyar seemed to be per
fectly cognizant of what was coming and

terrupting me. l told him to sit down and

which did not catch l heard nothing OF

Mr.. EDITOR We had our first discus
sion of the State debt question here yester-
day between Messrs. Norment and Dupuy
of Bolivar, for compromise and Col. w. w.
Gates and DIR. Leonard, Of jackson, against
compromise. Col. and Doctor came down
in compliance with telegraph from some
of the anti-compromise men to reply to
Norment and Dupuy, Fhe. sdiscussion was
opened by Mr.. Norment who made forci-
bic speech, showing that the people OF
Tennessee were the cdhtractors. of the debt
through their representatives, and that no
one but the people of Tennessee are respon-
forif. He showed when and for what the
debe was Contracted and how it could be
paid. In fact, made plain statement of
truths which were not, and could not be
rebRted.
After Mr.. Norment, came the DR.. above
mentioned. We are full of something to
say about his speech, but he looks like he
