It is not too late in the season TO say
that to the accomplished and ingeni-
ous architect, Mr.. James B. Cook,
much Of the success of our recent
Mardi Gras is due. This gentleman
planned and supervised the gates and
pillars which occupied a prominent
place near Court Square, on Main
street. lie also carved or drew
the Egyptian deities which
decorated their sides, and he planned
the massive Egyptian pillars with all
the ornaments upon their rotund fa-
cades. In addition to this Mr.. Cook
vlapped and supervised the structure
upon which the kings statsly figure
rode in state, and he labored day in,
day out, and far into the night,
in the duty Of preparing these
splendid specimens ofart and taste,
which won 50 many eneOpiums from
all classes after they appeared on Chg
highways. For all Of this Mr.. Cook

A STARTLING rumor comes from
Nashville by sore of grapevine cir
cult that the state debt certainly will
be settled by the present legislature,
dollar for dollar, at three per cent in
terest, and that the jaunt to Washing.
ton is only part Of the general plan.
We only speak of it as a rumor, but
deem it worthy of mention that the
people may be prepared for it if there
is such scheme on foot. The total
debt, with interest added, will not fall
much short of $30,0OO,0OO. The in
terest on this al three per cent would
be 100000 per annum. In thirty
years the people would pay out $27,-
100000 besides the cost of collecting
the revenue which would run up the
amount to full thirty millions Of dol
lars, or the face value Of the debt,
without setting aside dollar for a
sinking fund. The money so paid out
would nearly all 60 out of the state to
remote money centers, and would be
to that extent an absolute drain upon
the industry and productive capacity
of the people. The present rate Of
taxation, including privileges, is not
quite enough to pay current expenses.
1t should be fifteen cents instead of
ten cents on the one hundred dollars
worth of property. The school tax is
ten cents. That makes twenty. FIVE
cents to start on. Now add to this a
sufficient tax to raise, clear of the cost
of collection, delinquencies, etc.,
100000 per ahnum, and some idea
may be formed of the burden the peo-
pie would have to assume. This would
require a tax of at least fifty cents
more. We hope there is no founda-
ton for the report that reaches us,
but will remark, nevertheless, that
the man who votes for such bill
may make up his mind to retire per-
manently from public life in this state
at least. The democrats are all COM
mitted by their. platforms against
making coupons receivable for taxes,
yet it is limited that some are willing
to override this principle to comply
with the wishes of the bondhelders.
Next week there will probably be
some developments, unless the legis-
lature in its wisdom, as Governor
Hawkins would say, takes another re,
cess. The fatigue of trip to Wash
ingtog may make this necessary.

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-HoUsE.-
The house met at o'clock.
Mr.. Hutchins, rising to a question
of privilege, said that he had attempt:
ed to enter the capitol at the senate
wing, and had been stopped by man
in military attire, with arms in his
hands, who refused him admittance.
He stated that he was a member of
congress and was then admitted. He
desired to know by what authority the
military, in place OF the civil force,
was placed at the doors of the capitol.
He wanted to call the attention of the
house and the country to this fact. 1t
was a small matter now, but in the
future it might not be. He, there
fore, offered the following resolution;
WHEREAS, The members of this
house have this day been refused ad-
mittance to the car nation
by armed military orce,
Resolved, That this breach of par
liamentary and constitutional privilege
of the members of this house in going
to and returning from the same, merits
its severest censure.
Mr.. Warner-This is no light mat
ter; bayonets ought never be crossed
here.
Mr.. Frost stated he had also been
refused admission. He did not wish
10 make mountain Of mole hill, but
that which might be harmless at pres
ent might prove a precedent most dan
gerous in character. The time might
come Che did not anticipate that it
would) when that which now passed
without protest might be upheld as a
precedent, t,anda precedentset by a dem
ocratic house and senate, for the pur-
pose of trampliDg on therights of both
of those assemblies. There had been
instances in the past, not only in
England but in this country, at not a
very distant period, of armed troops
being stationed at the doors of legis-
lstiye assemblies, and it was because
the democratic party did not wish to
sanction that state of affairs that the
resolution was offered.

THE veto of the funding bill yester-
day hardly produced ripple here. 1t
wss rather anticipated by those who
were posted or interested, buff it had
not come at all nobody would have
been seriously disturbed, The banks
Of issue here would have taken such
stems as business judgment might die
tate. and seemed t,N be prepared for
whatever might happe.7' This brings
us to remark that the panics and
excitements of the east do not have
much effect at the south. We have
less money, but what little we have
is held we'll in hand and is not
affected by every Wall street breeze.
The south is getting along slowly but
well, and the prosperity which is
coming and increasing by degrees
every year is permanent. 1t is cumu-
l,rtive aud solid, and will abide with
tie people for generations to come.
Adve rsity hath its uses, the old prov
erb goes. The southern people are
growing strong and practical they
have dropped much Of the sentimental
and come down to close, thrifty man
agement, with money-sense as basis

TIE quiet old town Of Nashville,
the Athens Of the south, was enliv-
eued yesterday by a stirring event A
negro, charged with killing his wife,
and probably guilty, made break for
liberty, got away from the constable
and was pursued by a bowling mob Of
his own color. He managed to get
across the river, and one of his pur-
suers was drowned, like Phaioah, in
the Red sen. The colored folks are
more bant than ever on lynehing the
fugitive, Gar, if he did not kill his wife,
he ran like rabbit and caused the
drowning of solid republican voter.
They have concluded to try their hand
at the business any way, and it will no
doubt have wholesome moral effect
When it is over, Governor Hawkins
caa issue proclamation ordering them
to disperse, quit and behave them
selves. The colored citizen is not only
initiative but progressive, and, after
all, often has true sense of justice

We notice that Mr.. r. P. Cole, of
Htury, has introduced bill in the
house. making the receipts Of the dog
tax credit upon the taxes Of the
holders. This, if 1T should become a
law, will surely give satisfaction to
those who have been so much disturb
ed by the payment OF the odlous dog
tax Paris Intelligencer.
Inasmuch as the dog law was not
only advanced on the docket and
declared unconstitutional by the su-
preme court, but afterwards repealed,
at least once by the Legislature Of 1877,
it would seem but fair and right to
refund the money, or alloy credit to
those who paid the tax. 1t would simply
place them upon an equality in that
respect with those who failed or re
fused to ray. Those who innocently
thought that Tennessee might some
time become sheep-raising instead Of
a dog-growing state should not be
Judged to llarshly. They have learned
their mistake and are not likely to re-
neat it. 1t has been decided by our
highest court that the noble dog
of any degree is not chAttei, and also
thst his nominal owner and associate
man cannot be taxed for the glorious
privilege. The cowsrdly, giddy-headed
sheep, however, is property, held it is
true, only by few high-toned people
This is one Of the luxuries and should
be classed and taxed as a privilege.
