WI Old I n DEBT.

Now that Memphis is getting Out
of the woods, and no longer lives il

be in a condition TO have a. talk with
old credit9rs;sOme of whom pushed us
to the wall when they had the power.
and would have taken the pound Of
flesh, blood and all, in satisfaction Of
their claims. We are out Of theiI
clutches forever, according to the de-
eision Of the highest court in the
land. and can turn about and face
them. But however satisfactory thi;
may be to the taxpayers and the peo-
Die at large, it does not pay the debt
nor release US from a moral obligation
to make an equitable settlement. The
rapaeity Of relentless creditors, and
the cold. blooded methods of blOodless
lawyers. constitute no excuse for re-
~pndiation. This community has a good
name at stake and it can't afford to take
full advantage Of the present oppor-
tunity. We asked for a repeal Of the
city charter upon the verbal assur-
auees Of our citizens and Of repre-
s~entatiyes in the legislature, that this
move was not intended to accomplish
reputation, but to place the city be-
yond the reach Of q mandamus from
the federal court. and to obtain tenn
pOrary relief. We have enjoyed the
full benefit Of the repeal and Of the
temporary or experimental govern
ment set up in place Of the
old cumbrous, expensive, double.
joiuted, top heavy concern, modelled
after a parliament and known as q
mayor-a sort Of lord mayor-an(

The Land Tenure.

James Rcdpath is BOW travelling
in Ireland as the correspondent Of
the New York Tribune. In his last
letter he writes: a ELS
The dean of Cashel has addressed
me a letter that tells some sad sto-
ries of life among the lowly in Ire
land. that has so often moved the
hearts Of the civilized world. Like
out of every ten of the cultivated
priests / have met, the dean does not
hesitate to attribute the impoverished
condition Of the people to the disgrce
full system Of land tenure that pre-
walls, it wouldmake a desert in 10 years
of either Ohio, Pennsylvania or Iowa.
There is an impression in America
that the agitation against the land
proprietors in Ireland is an agrarian
movement 1t is nothing of the sort;
it is an earnest effort to remove the
cause OF famine. The evidence is
overwhelming aud comes from every
county, to show that the landlords Of
Ireland are not contributing . shilr
ling to the relief fund, but, as class,
they are mercilessly enforcing their
legal claims to their pound Of Aesh
fipm the starving tenants.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1880-04-10

ludicrous scenes occurred during the
storm which by repeating here will
not in the least detract from the seri-
Gus nature, and consequences of this
wonderfully sad and serious tornado,
as it certainly was.
ID. r. p. Huss, Ii b. Axtell, j. II.
Carson and Robert Dougherty, were
sheltering tbcmselver in the lower
Office of the frame building south Of
the "Sayer's Corner" as mentioned
above, just when .he crash of the
rubbish from the Court House came
laundering towards them. Carson
and Doughcrty broke out thinking
to better escape it's fury. Carson
started for his stone shop,a few PAGES
southwark but nearing the door, he
was whirled away and brought up
standing against the out building
east ofthe Jail. Dougherty cut pig
con toe line with more curvature
than the marrow Gauge" and found
himself hatless in supplicating at
titude in the frame work of"Bill Say
ers" old hay ladders apparently in
earnest and silent devotion.
Huss was apparently frantic with
"rsging fear" and had an umbrella
under his arm, cutting more didos
than negro minstrel in stump
speech on the dissolution of "dis ere
Onion" Axtell was oblivious to all
that occurred about him, and was gaz-
ing intently up to the Presbyterian
church spire, seeming solictous about
his future welfare.
Mrs. Patience Washington an
elderly colored lady, residing on
North Richhill street, seeing child
about to be carried up into the air
she caught it by the leg and they
were both taken up and lifted high
up over large fence, withoutiniury.
And the colored girl upon whom the
stove was tumbled in the "Smith
house." had on pair of bran new
shoes, which were entirely cut and
stripped off her feet and yet she was
unframed.
On the Boner farm a stack Of hay
and cow which was feeding thereat,
was taken up in the storm, the hay
was scattered to the four winds, and
the cow was carried some distance
into the air and came crashing down
through an apple tree near by with
out scratch.
Sheriff Joseph Randolph started
in the midst Of the hurricane to go
from his Office to his house out by
the south door of the Court House,
but just as he stepped out Of the door,
on the stone platform he grabbed the
iron railing or he would have been
taken up into the current. The
Sheriff's coat tail indicated an in
verted man very much to his discom-
future as to the unpleasant posture of
his person.
Mrs. Malinda Smith, resident OF
the north east sidc-to an interroga-
tor in reference to the great storm,
replied in solemn but stentorian ac-
cents, "My God, thought that Ga
briel had blotcn his horn when the
trees, houses and tombstones came
tumbling down the hill towards our
house"
