A Linz 10 tI.e nondhoIdera.

The Ripley News, an able high
credit paper that supported Judge
John V. Wright, has this to say.
We publish elsewhere the circular
from the committee of Tennessee
bondholders. They seem to be pretty
stiff in their figures and are evidently
expecting far more than even the most
extreme state credit democrat is are
prepared to coneede or advocate. We
trust they will moderate their views
before the legislature is called upon
to act, as otherwise the gallant fight
which mas been made in Tennessee
for state credit may come TO naught.
None of our speakers in the late can
vass contemplated a settlement at a
higher rate than sixty and six, and o
majority were Interpreting to 20 above
fifty and four. AS to the coupon
feature, the democratic members are
pledged by their platform to vote
against this measure, and it will hardly
be considered. The best that the
bondholders need hope for, is that ar
rsDgements will be made to meet
promptly the interest on the compro-
missed debt and if too harsh, aud ex-
acting in their demands they may de-
feat a settlement altogether. 1t will
be wise in them not to attempt to co
beyond what they have once agreed
upon, as it Is not to their interest to
have the matter again remanded to
the political arena for further discus
sion. While the debt may be and per.
haps is legal and binding upon tic
state, it is nevertheless true that there
is a faint about it that gives the repu
diators a very good handle for an ar.
gument before the masses, who have
neither the opportunity nor the dispo.
sition to sift the matter for them
selves.

Gloomy Time wilh Farmers.

Pamela Star, A.
The weather still continues against
the farmers. We have had snow and
cold weather. and rain and slush, un-
til bad weather has become ''monoto-
nous" We hear a good deal of
respondent talk among the farmers,
on account of the continuous %unfayor-
able weather which prevents theil
saving closely even the crops that
have matured and are ripe and oper
for gathering. Many a pound, aye
many a bale, of cotton lies rotting and
rotted on the ground. This is the
case to a greater or less extent every
season, but we believe Inc losses il
this way have been heavier this yeai
than any preceding season within oul
recollection. There is yet some cot
ton, though not a great deal, in tn,
upland fields and more, we under
stand, in the bottoms. Whether i
can be saved is a problem. If the bat
weather continues it cannot. W.
hope for a change for the better.
