The Way it Shows in Idaho.

A gentleman who recently came down from
Galena states that 50 feet of snow fell at that
place last season. The measurement was
taken on board projecting from roof of a
shed. The snow on the board was brushed
off every IL hours. This allowed the falling
snow to settle at least one-third before being
brushed of. 1t is therefore probable that
the total snowfall reached 80 feet Wood

ALL citizens of Tennessee ire
spective of party, are requested to
read the following comment by the
Courier-Journal, on IL recent decis-
ion of the Supreme court of the
United States:
The recent decision of the SUI
preme court to the effect that the
State of Louisiana could not legally
scale her bonded debt and remit
coupons, pledged in 1874, as was
done by the constitution of 1879,
covers also the case of Virginia and
Minnesota and of every other State
which has deliberately repudiated
any part of her legitimate bonds.
"The obligation of State" says
the Supreme court, "to pay the
bonds in money to the bona fide
holders, in accordance with the or
iginal promise, still remains" Vir-
ginia's bOndhOlders will have their
case decided by the Supreme court,
and there can be no doubt as to the
result. The United States Supreme
court, in the Louisiana decision,
has very happily freed itself from
the repudiating influences of the
Republican party.

The State Debt.

"Zeno," a correspondent of the
Nashville Banner, says:
What do people mean by saying
that if this Legislature should make
a settlement, the next Legislature
can repeal it? The Supreme Court
says no such thing. On the contra
ry it says that such a settlement
would in every way be binding up
on the State and its people in honor
and law. 1t would lack merely
means of enforcement. Now, when
people throw up their caps and cry
hosannas to the Supreme Court for
their emancipation, let them recol-
lect that the same Court says to
them in the strongest terms, in eff
feet, that the whole debt is Obliga-
tory and that it is shame not to
pay il on the terms offered by the
creditors.

YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT.

In the coming canvass in this
State, it will be the duty of the
young men, all of whom are for the
maintenance of the States good
name and credit, to work bravely
to bring her back to her former high
standard. it may do for old fossils
who live entirely in the past, or for
the present, to cry hard times, ina
bility TO pay and all that, but the
young, thoughtful, progressive men
who have something more at stake
and the future welfare and position
of their State to look to, cannot af-
ford to daily with the hurtful issue
any longer. They must work to
settle it as speedily as possible and
get it out of the way of our material
success. Tho old barnacles who
find life and sustenance by clinging
to the now decaying ship of State,
must be swept away, and the grand
old vessel must be started out on a
new cruise, renamed and prepared
for voyage of prosperity and sue
cess. 1t Is now the hour of a golden
opportunity for the young Democ-
racy of Tennessee. They must take
the tide at its flood and it will lead
on to grand results. In the language
of another we say: "Don't be afraid
of ideas, don't be afraid of issues,
don't be afraid of flesh and blood
Anniversaries. Cut loose from con-
ventional tOmfOolery. Get out of
the old ruts. Come up abreast
with the the times. Be just, liberal
and enlightened and force the fight
ing more upon measures and less
upon men,"

ONE Of the weakest and most I'M
favorable pleas brought forward by
those who are urging harmony in
the coming Democratic convention
appears to us to be the growing ten
dency to urge harmony at any cost,
forgetting in the all-absorbing hope
for Democratic harmony and victO-
ry, the true principles and sound
measures which have always here
tofore characterized the party. And
when we say this, we want it clear
iy understood that we are heartily
and earnestly for harmony in the
coming convention, and shall con-
tinue to work for that end but
Democracy has principles and
measures to sustain and work for,
which have been tested by the wis
dom, laws and morality of ages and
cannot now be ignored. Democrats
must guard, watch and protect
these fundamental principles as they
would their own personal honor for
they are jewels worth millions of
offices.

will satisfy the High-tax man, the
Lowtax man, the long tax man,
the short tax man and the honest
man. 1t says; "Let the present
Legislature enact an act that the
State Treasurer may on the LIST of
July and lst of January advertise
that there is SO much money in the
I treasury, say 81, 900, 900, and that he
will take State bonds for same, the
lowest bidders getting the money.
In ten years the debt will be paid
and taxes not increased one cent.
Some may say the bond holders
will not bid for the money. We
can but make the trial. When it is
certain the money will be paid out,
the bidders will be on hand and no
mistake. Are we not having exam
piles of this kind of work? Some
good man, owing to deprecated
stocks, shortness of crops &C., fails.
He finds he owes 100000 and has
Dut %ooiOVo W pay Will HO Cs'iio his
j creditors together and tells them
just what he has. I have got the
first instance to hear of where there
was not a settlement made. "But
the interest,"" oh, never mind the
! interest, we are after the bonds, if
we get them the interest will not
bother much"

something of this kind, and all will
| be well. A. RUSTACUs,

The following is the text of the
bill recently introduced in the House
by Representative Rhodes, author.
izing the city of Clarksville to levy
and collect additional taxes fol
school purposes. The bill has pass,
ed both houses of the Legislature
and is now law:
Be it enacted by the General AS
sembly of the State OF Tennessee,
That the city of GAINESVILLE is here
by authorized and empowered to
| levy and collect a tax not exceeding
two (2-10) tenths of one cent upon
the hundred dollars worth of prop
erty, and one dollar on polls fol
school purposes and, that so much
of an act passed March 10, 1860, enti-
tied, an act to incorporate the town
of Middleburg, and for other pur-
poses, in conflict with this act, and
the same is hereby repealed.
We wish to add for the benefit of
those who do not understand the
nature of this bill, that it is not at
all mandatory or imperative and
does not force the city of GAINESVILLE
to levy one iota of additional tax
for school purposes, but merely
gives her the pOwer in case her citi-
zens and the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen should see fit to do so.
There is no cause for any uneasiness
on the part of any one, for certainly
if the citizens of GAINESVILLE do not
want additional funds raised for the
benefit of their public schools, the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen will
not do it. Representative Rhodes
merely introduced the bill ut the
request of those who have the pub
lie school interests in charge.
