A SUGGESTION.
An Old Citizen on the State Debt
Question.

GERMANTowN, Tenn, Oct. II, 1880.
EDITOR LEDGER: suppose that
all honest and patriotic citizens of the
state desire to have the public debt of
the state fairly and justly settled aud
forever disposed of and taken out Of
politics AT this tire it is so mixed
up with other matters that think it
will be impossible to elect a legisla-
ture that will be able to make a settle
ment with the boudholders that will
be satisfactory to our people. there.
fore suggest that the legislature.
now to be elected, make no attempt
to settle it; but that instead
they pass an act authorizing an cleo
ton TO be held in all parts Of the state
at an early day, after adjournment, for
thirteen cOmm,t m,tteemen on the single
issue of the debt question and its final
settlement, and that one of said com.
mitteemeu be elected in and by the
voters of each congressional district
and three others, one from East, one
from Middle and one from West Ten
nessee, thirteen in all, and these men
when so elected meet at some point in
the state and organize by electing one
of their number chairman and some
one else secretary, etc, and whom 50
organized they meet the bondholders
or a COMMITTEES appointed by them,
aud let them make the best compro-
mise they can and let that be final,
aud if necessary let the legislature
meet and confirm the agreement SO
made.
BY such an arrangement it seems TO
me that every man might have an op.
portunity at least to express his own
views without its being SO mixed up
with other matters so that many do not
know how to vote, lest they vote for
something thOy don't want to vote for
A settlement made that is not salts
factory to the majority will hardly
stand more than two years. If the
above hints have any merit in them
they are at your disposal.

Wilson'S Triumphai Canvass.

A Middle Tennessee paper says:
Since S. +. Wilson entered Middle
Tennessee, bis canvass las resembled
triumph. The staunch men of the
country have met him by thousands
at almost every appointment, aud his
speeches have been interspersed with
rounds Of applause from the listening
muldtudes. At Franklin, Gallatin,
Hartsville, Lebanon, Smithvile,
Woodbury., Murfreesboro Shelbyville.
aud many other places, the receptions
Of Wilson have been what our Nash
vile contemporaries would call ova-
tions. At Murireesboro, while vast
crowd awaited his arrival, he was
met and escorted into town
By over three thousand mount
ed men with mlrtial music,
banners waving and the BOOM
ing Of artillery. A gentleman from
Nashville, who was standing by US and
looking up Main street at the ar
preaching procession, said it reminded
him of Bragg's army at Chickamsa aga.
The meeting far exceeded the M 1T

the cause in which Mr.. Wilson is

wilson's Record and Lie.

Franklin Review and Joumal.l
General w. B. Bate and the Hon Ju-
lius Trousdale, two of the high. toned,
most chivalric and gallant and respon
sible men in Tennessee have known
the Hon. S. f. Wilson from his birth.
They have seen him by their side in
the late war. They saw him a mere
youth, with his hand torn off by the
shrieking shells of Cbickamauga
They have seen him from boyhood
both around his widowed mothers
hearth and in the rollicking bolster.
GUS camp consistent mem .er of the
old School Presbyterian church. They
say that he is pure and as response
bic a man as lives on the earth
Along with other citizens of Sumner
county they vouch for Wilson's honor
as to his contracts and every other
way. We prefer to take this endorse
ment and not heed the ISLANDERS OF a
splenetic, who evidently is enyious Of
the widows son passing him on the
track where fame and honor are won.

Charleston Argus.
We hear from Hawkins and Wright
semi occasionally. There is but little
friction, as they are in perfect har-
moay on the state debt question. They
are addressing small companies OF one
and two, sometimes three, hundred
persons, while the people collect in
vast crowds to hear and cheer Wilson
This circumstance shows more un.
erringly than straws which way the
wind is blow ng, We would not be
surprised if Wilson were to receive
more votes than Hawkins aud Wright
both. even if they, like kindred drops,
should mingle into one before the
second day of November.

THE GHuR7H OFKETHODIsM.

Some Account OF tho Progross Made by the
Followers Of John Wesley In tho Las
! Century and q Half
One Of the marvcls Of the religious
world is tho growth and progress OF
| Methodism. In June, 1741, when
John Wesley held his first Conference,
there wore only six regular preachers
throughout tho world, and few hun
drcd members. Now thero are more
, than 100000 Methodist preachers
throughout tho world, and noarly s.
O00, 900 members. In the United States
alone there about $4,000 travelling
preachers, 27 900 local preachers and
about 5000, 900 n. ,mbcrs.
In 1866, before tie division of tho
Georgia Conference, (Which was once
part of the South Carolina Confer
cnce,) the Methodists in Georgia num-
bcred $4,000 whites. Now, only thir-
teen years later, the North and South
Georgia Conferences number 1898.
In the little State Of South Carolina,
where this denomination is scarcely q
century old, the membership exclusive
of baptized children, as shown by tho
recent report of their statistical secrc-
tary, numbers A, 701, with 1GG travel
llS Nht( LOO lOCdl
The number of adults admitted by
baptism alone into the communion of
the M. e. Church, South, within the
bounds of the South Carolina Confer
ence, during the year just closing, is
1908.
The denomination has, within the
bounds of the South Carolina Confer
encc, 497 Sabbath schools, with 3,044
teachers and 22,057 ccl,oiars.
They have raised III South Carolina
during the year 1879 for their worn out
preachers and the widows and orphans

They have raised in the same terrific
ry during this year for missions (cx-
