Wanted to See q Rebel.
From the Detroit Free Press

From the Detroit Free Press"
Down below Montgomery I ran
across man from Port Huron, Mich.
and after we had shaken hands he said !:
Seen any rebels down here2"
q" Why, yes. That is, I've seen hun
dreds who were in the Confederate
army"
But have You come across one who
hasn't surrendered yet-a real old un.
terrified who wasn't licked and still
hates the nag?"
"No."
"Well, | wish / could see one. Pve
been down here two weeks and haven't
come across him. thought the South
was chuck full of such chaps, dotted
on an interview"
l went up to the hotel and told the
boys, and they sent over to the cooper
shop for Sam. He was not in the war
at all, having lately moved in from Tex.

ing man south of the Ohio river. He
had long hair, long, matted whiskers,
u long arms, ragged clothes, and he
looked to be tough case. The boys
told him what was wanted, and he
walked down the street to a barber shop
where the Port Huron man was waiting
to get shaved. Standing in the middle
of the shop he threw his old hat down,
jumped three feet nigh, and cracked
his heels, and yelled out:
Whoop-yah! Whar's that Yank
who's been hanging around this town
for the last, three days? Whoop-yi!
vi durn Uncle Sam for an old buzzard |!
l fit wild Wheeler, did, and l never

The man from Port Huron had final
ly got what he was looking for. He rose
up, and was edging for the door, when
Sam jumped for him and yelled:
"Whoop'ee! You're the cantankcr-

here and burn our gins, will ye2 Come
down here and STAY our-l"
Alas The Michigander was on the
full skip by this time. He took u
straight road for the country, turning
out for nothing smaller than four

telegram from him, dated at town

hotel bill and bring along his satchel.

Declined With Thanks.

Mr.. i. A. James, styling himself
Chairman of the Democratic State Tx
ecutivc Committee, addressed letter to
Hon. j. J. Vertrees, proposing that a
commission of one from each Committee
they to select third-be appointed
for the purpose of making "a pains
taking, careful and elaborate investiga-
ton of the facts connected with the is
suance of the bonds Of the State Of ev-
ery class" for the information of all in
tercsted. Mr.. Vertrces replied as fol-
lows:
NASHVILLE, July II, 1882.
Hon. 4. A. James, Chattanooga, Tenn;
Dear SRI am in receipt Of your IA
yor Of the 18th inst proposing that a
commission of three gentlemen be elect
ed to investigate "all the facts connect
ed with the issuance Of the bonds Of the
State of every class" and to report the
same; and suggesting that their reports
be published, to remove the "current
uncertainty as to the amount and valid
ty of the State debt"
This letter purports to emanate from
YOU as Chairman Of the Democratic
State Executive Committee of Tennes
see. Inasmuch as | myself am Chair
man of that Committee, respectfully
decline to consider the proposition sub
mittcd by you. / will not even enter
tain n mcritorious proposition submitted
by another who assumes, in so doing, T.
exercise the functions of my Office o
Chairman Of the Democratic State Ex
ecutive Committee Of Tennessee.
However. it is with pleasure avail
myself of the present opportunity to in
form you that the Democratic State Ex
ecutivc Committee are possessed of off
cial documents and authoritative re
ports, sufficiently trustworthy and ex
plicit to remove the uncertainty" tina
recently has become current. Not onl,
would the action Of the proposed com
mission be superAuous, but also not au
thoritative, and therefore comparativcl,
valueless. Moreover, / beg to be per
mitted to observe that if there be sucl
great uncertainty as to the amount ant
validity of the bonded debt as YOU sug
gest, it is to be regretted that the advo
Gates of the 1908 Force Bill, and tn
GO-3-4-5-6 act, did not endeavor, durin,
some of the numerous recent sessions o
the General Assembly, to establish al
authoritative commission to Investigate
the amount and validity'of the bonde'
debt, rather than to pass those fundin
acts; for as they were sufficient
strong to enact the laws, they coul
readily have created the commission.
Very respectfully,
JOAN j. VERTREEs,
Chm'n Dem. State Elk. Com.

In speaking Of Tennessee affairs, 2tAc
Louisville Courier-Journal says:

"The Tennessee debt question can
not last forever. 1t is temporary in
conditions, and local in its bearings.
The honor of Tennessee is no more in
volved in the settlement made by the
last Legislature than in the settlement
proposed by the Democratic convention.
In either. event it is practical repudia-
ton. Meanwhile the Democratic party
outside of Tennessee cannot fail to sec
with anxiety a division which may
loose us the State in the next President
ial contest. They see in Gen. Bate q
tried, true National Democrat. They
believed he was fairly nominated by
fairly constituted convention. They
want him elected, and he will have the
moral support of the party throughou
the Union. At long range, 1t is incOn
ceivable that, between choice o
modes Of reputation, Democrat
should, for a matter of ten cents, delhi
erately prefer the Republican to Demo
cratic nominee"

Of bondholding claimants may receive,
and has no interest or purpose to favor
any class of holders. Rightfully inter
preted the platform is simple, direct
and severely just. 1t does not meet
wholly the views Of any. 1t is necessa-
rily a compromise Of diverse opinions.
So also is the present Legislative tender
of GO.3.4.5.6 compromise Of opinions.
The prominent merit Of the Demo-
cratic Convention compromise offer is,
that il has the sanction OF sir-serent's OF
the Democratic people, and if they
would be free to express themselves, OF
full as large portion Of the Republican
people. 1t is n clear and emphatic
enunciation of the sense Of an over
whclming majority of the Democratic
party rs TO the terms Of a settlement OF
the debt, practical and permanent in its
character, and ascertained through q
regularly delegated Convention Of the
party. Any Democrat who supports
candidates in opposition to the views OF
the Convention as promulgated, and
which nominated Gen. Bate for Gov
ernor, forfeits his party standing. That
Democrat who denOunccs those who do
support candidates in accord with the
Convention as departing from the spirit
and form Of Democracy, may well be
suspected OF never having understood
either the principles or organization OF
the party.
On this subject, as on all others, opin'
ion and action are free. Men may ac-
quicscc in the standards Of opinions set
up by majority Of political associates,
or may refuse to do so. But it is new
idea in Democracy for Il few men, as
suming leadership, to arrogatc apostolic
iniallibility, and on single issue Of
opinion excommunicate ut least SIG
seuentl,s Of the membership from the pale
Of the party, and claim for themselves
and a feeble following the party name
and organization. Such assumption in
itself is essentially undemocratic. 1t
disproves their title to the name, and
discloses the true animus of the move
ment to be antagonistic to the elementa-
ry principle of Democracy.
In opposing the voice of an over
whelming majority of the party, their
organs pratc much of the principles Of
the party. When did it become prln'
ciple Of the Democratic party that the
views of i lean minority as to what
amount should be sealed from u public
debt should prevail as the creed on that
question? Did Jefferson, or Madison,
or jackson, or Polk, or johnson, utter
any such teaching? This talk of the
Democratic Convention rep
resentative as it was of popular opinion
abandoning the principles Of the Dem
ocratic party, is insuiierablc twattle
The adjustment of the State debt o
Tennessee with her creditors, while it il
local matter Of internal administration
properly to be left to the rightful ma
jority-the Democratic party-has NJ
more to do with Democratic principle
than it has with the rights of the Englisl
in Egypt. Loyal Democrats can afior'
to stand the treachery of these leader
for it will be harmless, but cannot abid

which they seek to disguise it. Let thu
