Down on Coupons tor Taxes.

Meals State Gazette, a high credit
paper. which supported Judge John
V. Wright in the late canvass, says:
Senator Ragland and Representative
Watkins doubtless know that a vast
majority of their constituents are uu-
alterably opposed to making coupons
receivable for all taxes. Under no
circumstances would they consent to
any settlement of the state debt that
gives the bondholder a perpetual mort
gage upon the revenues of the state.
Representative Watkins has steadily
opposed that iniquitous feature, and
when it reaches the srnate Hon, +. b.
Ragland will also oppose such infa-
nous legislation.
