BOndholders VIII be Willing
to Compromise.
Great Interest Felt in Senator Gaston's
Seat-Barrett's Case to be
Considered To-Day.

NASHVILLE, April 17.-It is generally un-
derstood that the governor will receive this
week a proposition from the State creditors
TO settle the debt at sixty cents on the dollar.
the rate OF interest to be four, five and elk
per cent, and if the proposition is received
that he will call special session OF the
Legislature with a view TO its acceptance.
The Redistricting Committees bill passed
its second reading in the Senate and was re-
ferred, with all other bills on the same sub
ject.
The bin to print 5000 copies OF the pro-
ceedings of the Legislative Investigating
Committee has been signed by the governor.
Much gossip prevailed in legislative cir
cles concerning Senator Gaston's seat.
Wiltse, having appeared before the Senate
Election Committee as his attorney, neither
admitted nor denied that CASTOR had been
appointed collector at Chattanooga. The
committee telegraphed Congressman Dibrell
to procure copies of the official documents
concerning Gaston's appointment. Dibrell
telegrsphed that the Washington authorities
refused to send copies unless applied for by
the committee, and not then unless the COM
mittee would state beforehand what use was
to be made OF them.
The Barrett resolutions we're taken up in
the Senate and their consideration postponed
until tomorrow.

THE great dry goods house OF A. I.
Stewart q Co. is to be closed. It's stock and
mills are advertised for sale, and so soon az
that can be effected the most colossal mer
camille concern of modern times will be d
thing of the past. 1t may literally be said
to have passed away with the head and
hands that made and sustained it, for il has
been losing business ever since his death.
The business which Mr.. Stewart did in hi
two stores was simply enormous, especially
when compared with that Of other dry
goods men. The sales in the two estab
lishments are said TO have amounted TO
SOS, 100000 in three years, spd the income
of Mr.. Stewart was the largest in the mer
camille world. In 1868 his income was
81 600, 600; in 1864, S4,OOO,0O0; in 1865, 81,
100000; IN 1866, 5000, ,000-sn average Of
about 100000 a year. When he wac
nominated for secretary of the treasury he
estimated his annual income at 81, 100000.
The business of the hrm was worldwide.
There were foreign bureaus in all the

Thomas paine.

To the Editors OF the Appeal:
In the APPEAL of April 10Th appears a
letter purporting to be written by DIR.
Franklin to Thomas Paine, urging him not
TO publish that celebrated work against the
Bible, the Aee Of Re1son, and advising him
not to "unchain the tiger" This pious
fraud has been 80 often exposed, j am
surprised that journalists of your in
formation and intelligence should re-
produce it. DR.. Bsnjamin Franklin
died in 1890, more than .hree years before a
line OF the Age of Reason was written. The
first part of that work was written in Paris
the latter part of 1898, amid the terrors OF
the French revolution, when the author was
in hourly expectation of arrest and ex-
ecution, aud, in fact, Paine was ar
rested the last Of December, 1898, upon
the order of Robespierre, and imprisoned
in the Luxembourg within six hours after
he had finished that great work. The second
part of the Age Of Reason was written for the
most part in that prison, where the author
lay nearly year, and the whole published
by Paine sometime after his release. The
letter which you publish, purportiDg TO be
written by Dr. Franklin, was written by
lying scribler, Grant Thorborp, and pub
lished by the Bible Society under the
title Don't URchdin the Tiger. DR.. Franklin
was himself an infdel, as was Jefferson, but
they wrote no book against the Bible, and
have therefore escaped the wrath OF the
priesthood, which was all reserved for the
devoted head Of Paine. Forgetful OF his
great services to the cause of American free
doom, they. have pursued him relentlessly
with every weapon that malice and detrac-
ton could invent Such is the fate OF all
who dare question their creed. But a few
years ago, when a great food was pouring
down the Mississippi, a prayer-meeting was
called to avert it. For suggesting that wheel
barrows and spades in the hands of vigorous
men employed in en- arging the levees would
be more tfhcacious than prayers, the APPEAL
called down upon itself torrent OF wrath
more fierce than the floods of the great
river. Within twelvemonth we have
seen a minister, the R=v. Mr.. Long, os-
tracised and driven from his pulpit
by conclave of bigots, because he believed
that Christ died to save ali mankind, and
refused TO believe that hell is paved with
the bones of infants foreordained to be
damned. But thanks to the intidels-Paine,
Jeffsrson, Franklin and others-the thumb
screw and fagot are no longer possible, and
Mr.. Long breaches to an oyerhowing
house. .Fhe gospel OF Geneva is dead,
and in tue streaming light of the
nineteenth century Calvin is nothing bat the
scene owl of superstition, hooting at the
midday sun OF intellectual and spiritual free
DOM" "On the ruins of its ivy-grown
cathedrAls, ecclesiasticism, surprised and
blinded by the breaking day, sits solemnly
blinking at the Light and life about it,
absorbed IN the recollection OF the night
tnat has passed, dreaming of new phantoms
and delusions in Its wished-for return, and
vindiciively striking It's talons at any derisive
assailant who incauiiously approaches too
near" MINOR MERIwETHER.

THE so-called Liberals OF Alabama, in
humble imitation of the devil, who promised
the world to Christ if He would fall down
and Worship him, are promising the Repub-
licans every thing in that State il they will
remove Joe Wheeler from the seat in the
House to which he was elected and give it TO
William Lowe. They say if this is done the
latter would be nominated for governor in
May, elected governor by the Liberals,
blacks and whites, negroes, carpetbaggers,
scaIawsgs and Simon-pure Democrats in Au
gust. At the same time a Legislature viii
be elected which will send Lowe to the Sen
ate in 1888 in Place of Morgan. The Demo
Gratis of Alabama will be amused to learn OF
this proposed contract to surrender the State
20 the enemy, and will readily agree with the
APPEAL that it is too much for Lowe or

LAMsoS FURTHER REsPIrED.

LAMSON FURTHER RESPl1ED.
LONDON, April 17.-Dr. Lamson has been
granted a further respite until the 22d in
slant. The secretary of state for the home
department has addressed the following let
ter to the high sheriff of Surrey;
WHITEHALL, April l6 1sso.
SIR-The minister of the United States
having communicated to the secretary of
state the earnest wish OF the President that
the respite granted the convict George
Henry Lamson be further extended in order
to give time for the consideration OF certain
documents, a portion of which is now on
the way from America, i am to
signify to you the queens commands that
the execution of sentence OF death, passed
upon said Lamson, be further respited till
Friday, April 18th Instant. You will at the
same time see that the prisoner Is informed
OF this extension OF the present respite. and
inrtAer respite win be granted, and that no
evidence which has hitherto been submitted
to the secretary of state either from England
or America affords any justification for
any interference with the sentence of the
law. W. V. HARCoURT.
News OF the respite was communicated to
DR. Lamson yesterday.
The Daily Telegraph says: "What has not
been shown and must be shown if The con-
yict is to be reprieved is that he was ire
sponsible when he plotted and carried out
the horrid murder"
The Standard says: "The present respite
must be regarded simply as further act of
courtesy toward the United States"
The solicitor OF DIR. Jamson has made an
affidavit that the prisoners relatives in
formed him prior to the trial that Lamson's
mind had been destroyed by morphia. The
above line Of defense, he says, however, was
not adopted at the trial because the prison.
er's counsel were misled by the statements Of
medical experts, and it was decided that the
actual defense was good and sufficient with
out touching upon the mental copdition OF
the prisoner.
The friends OF DIR. Lamson are not with
out hope that the prisoner may escape the
death penalty, despite the statements in
Harcourt's letter.
