If we can only record the settle
ment of our state debt by the pres
ent general assembly when it ad-
journs, we will, in common with
every man who has the interest of
the state at heart, rejoice at the con-
summation of the greatest blessing
that could be bestowed upon the
country. Every true Tennessean
wants the question finally adjusted.
We have had enough of bad blood
stirred and ill-feeling engendered by
the agitation of this question, and
now that the representatives of the
people are quietly collected together
at Nashville, let them take a calm
review of the situation and do the
best they can, compromising one
with another, and put the whole
matter to rest forever.

MAI. CHAs. ID. MCLEAN, one of
the oldest and most prominent citi-
zens of Memphis, Tenn, died in
that city Tuesday of last week. Maj.
Mclean was eighty-six years old,
and in the younger days of his life
was identified with the citizens and
business interests of our city. He
was a sOn-in-law of Judge Bennett
Searcy, and he and his heirs were
parties to the famous suit which
was brought against large number
of our property-holders to recover a
valuable tract of real estate lying in
the heart of the city, and which
they claimed was illegally sold by
Mclean over sixty years ago. The
case was thrown out of our chancery
court on demurrer, and the com
plainants appealed to the supreme
court, where the case is now pend
ing. We do not know that the
death of Maj. Mclean will have
any effect upon the litigation.

The G. G. G.s had three new re-

night, and judging from the great
interest manifested in the company
among the boys around town since
the "bazaar boom," they are likely
to have large increase in their
membership, and by the time the
''spring-time comes gentle ANNIE"
they can boast of one of the most
prosperous organizations of the kind
in Tennessee. They are going to
work hard and carry off the prize at
Louisville next June. Attention,

There is a movement on foot in
Nashville to consolidate the Porter

hope this will be consummated.
Then, perhaps, they may stand a
showing with the G. G. CPS.

Arson and Robbery Near Green
brier.


As the editor of this paper was
returning from Nashville last Mop
day afternoon, he noticed a cOnsid-
cradle crowd of excited men gath
cred at Greenbrier, a small station
on the st. Louis d Southeastern r.
r., in Robertson county. Upon in
quiry the cause of the excitement
was found to be most daring and
bold robbery and arson perpetrated
by two men named Joseph Pike
and Lewis Sadler. The person
robbed was an old farmer named
Swift, who lives about six miles
from Greenbrier.
On the night previous Sunday,
about s O'Clock, a small house near
his dwelling was discovered to be
on fire, when Mr.. Swift and his
family ran out to assist in putting
out the fire and saving the surround
ing houses. When he returned he
discovered that his house had been
entered and robbed of about 81 900.
The two men named above were
seen in the neighborhOod ON Sunday
afternoon, but were found in Nash
Vile Monday morning, where they
were arrested. Pike had in his pos
session when arrested five $50 gold
pieces, and $42 besides. Mr.. Swift's
son-in-law says there was just that
much gold in the house, and in $40
gold pieces. Sadler lived in Edge
field, where he has a family and is
respectfully connected.
1t does look as though the recent
tragedies in old Robertson ought to
deter men from such crimes.

Copfederates. This FIRE was soon
returned by Drake, who fired away
seven cartridges and then drew his
saber. His seven bullets, as was
afterward vouched for, killed two
men, wounded two more and
killed one horse. His fire broke
the circle and he got out of it, but
for thirty rods, as he made of, he
was exposed to the fire of nine or
ten men. Cooper's horse was
killed in the circle, while Drake's
was hit no less than nine times and
yet not disabled. AS for the rider,
his comrades, on his return to the
camp, counted up record of q
truly miraculous escape. Three
bullets struck his scabbard, two
his hat, four went through his
clothing, one burned his cheek, one
raked his knee and two hit his left
boot. While one single bullet
killed the one trooper, the other
had sixteen fired at him point
blank and yet did not lose drop of
blood. Coopsr's horse was killed
by one bullet, while nine failed to
disable the larger and more exposed
animal.

PROBABLY all readers of newspa-

Chroniole made for that clause OF
the new Constitution which estab-

The argument against that propo-
sition was that three men were
more easily handled than one hun.

presumption was outlined that the
Railway Companies could elect
one Commissioner and might buy
smother. The whole law and the
prophets were condensed In that
single proposition. We are not
