The Legislature. after settling the

pleted their work by reducing the
State taxes to rate which Is be-
lieyed by all who are cOnVersant
with the subject, to be ample for
the expenses of the State and for
the payment of interest. Democrats
who are hesitating whether to take
the counsel Of those who recon-
mend a futile resistance to this
measure upon the thin preteXt alone
of securing a settlement ten cents
lower, should remember that last

taxes in a year OF drOuth 1t was
demonstrated that the State can
easily bear the taxation. lt VIII
pay it to bear it for the boon OF
credit; and to have restored the
honor of the State, it ought to be
cheerfully borne.
We have now to pay but one
years tax at a time, and that re-
duced. Reopen the matter and
there is at least the imminent prob
ability of having to pay the entire
debt. 1t would not be pleasant to
those who wish to escape the entire
debt to have to be hauled into the
Supreme Court OF the United States
and compelled TO pay it all. Ii
would be terrible blow to those
private citizens who wish to enter
into a political speculation, taking
chance at further reduction OF ten
cents, to have to pay the forty cents

six per cent. interest besides, would
be the death of these spectators on
the honor and credit of Tennessee.

In 1877 Col. John Z. House, Rep
resentative in Congress from this,
the6th Congressional District, wrote
TO Governor Porter advising the
Legislature to pass the G0-6 PROPOSE
ton, as follows:
The settlement of the State debt on a ba-
sis satisfactory to our creditors and to our
people is a contamination every enc must
desire, who values the welfare and honor of
our State.
If were a member of the Tennessee Leg
fslature, and our creditors should make a
proposition to settle the debt on the basis of
% cents ON the dollar, / would not hesitate n
moment, between acceptingsuch PROPOSE
ton, and the ruinous policy of doing moth
ing, and letting our debt drift on TO posteri-
ty, growing in volume every day."
The same. in substance, was also
written by Senator Harris, Con-
gressmen Whitthorne and Atkins.
Representative Cole, of Henry
county, stated these facts in his able
speech in the House in favor of the
60-3-4-5-6 compromise and aptly in
quired ''if these distinguished gen.
tlemen were not Democrats and if
these principles were right then, are
they not equally so today"
They are, and these tried, true

will doubtless stand up and elo-
quently advocate the acceptance of
this settlement and its elimination
from the politics of the State.

On yesterday morning, Mr.. d. X.
Spiilers, a prominent merchant of
Gallatin, and Major w. S. Mum
day, while exploring the cave on
the farm Of Col. Jas. Alexander,
which for the last five years has
been the rendezvous of the James
brothers gang of outlaws, discov-
cred large flat rock in one of the
chambers and thinking that some of
the secrets of the gang might be
hidden away under it, removed 1t
with great difficulty, when to their
utter establishment large cast iron
sugar kettle filled with specie and
jewels of various kinds met their
view. They could hardly believe
their senses. but finally managed to
examine the treasure and found
that there was over $4,000 in
specie, besides numerous gold
watches, rings, diamonds and
other jewelry of great value. Maj.
Munday guarded the great treasure
while Mr.. Spillers FASTENED to Gal
latin, and securing his horse and
wagon returned As speedily as pos
sible to the cave. They placed the
kettle and its contents in the wagon
and drove rapidly to GalIatin aud
ut once deposited the treasure in
the vaults of the Sumner deposit
company.
The greatest excitement prevails,
and the Sumner Guards have been
ordered to the cave to prevent a
hungry horde of curiosity hunters
and treasure seekers from COM
pleiCly ransacking it. This is. the
second lot of valuables found in the
cave since the death of Jesse James.
Thousands of visitors have been
denied admission by Col. AleXan-
der, and it is by strenuous efforts
that any portion of its contents are
spared from seekers of momentoes
of the great bandits.
A considerable portion of the
jewelry is in the original boxes as
they left the jewelers., and contain

others are marked in full and will
be returned to the owners, provided
they can be found and can prove
their claim to the property. Col.
Alexander has already sent great
many of the former lot to several
parties in various portions Of the

tions will be made at once, as il is
