franklin Review and Journal
1t is we'll known that a forty cent
tax will not carry out the 100 3 act.
The rate of taxation will have to be
trebbled to carry out the iniquitOus
acquisitions of this infamous act. 1t
is we'll known that under its provisions
the bonds already pronounced fraudu-
lent and admitted to be so can and
will be funded. Colonel Gibbs, the
ex-Secretary Of State, and an extreme
State crediS man, says that the debt is
nearly s40,00O000. Ex Governor
Marks told Gath the same thing.
Anyway, the Funding Board will
fund everything presented looking like
a bond Of the State. Add to this the
untold and unascertained amount
of the new issue bills aud we
will have the gloomy budget that
Tennesseans will have to face for a
century without any hope OF abate
ment Of one dollar Of the principal
during the time, but an annual tribute
of a million or SO in the shape of in
terest. The scheme that the roo 8
coalition has set on foot embraces the
idea that they will set the machine
a-going for its hundred years trip by
slight tax. This is done to over
come all opposition. Just so soon as
the thing is fastened upon US and the
century mortgage gets riveted for all
time to come, then the rate of taxation
will be increased arbitrarily and mer.
cilessly. For bear in mind that the
combination that has this matter il
hand is on the make. They are
utterly Indifferent to the needs Of the
people and the demands of justice
Let all opposition cease to the measure
and the rate of taxation will be un.
bearable.

is pronounced by men Of all political
predictions to be the most powerful

on either side. But for his peculiar

would to-day be the foremost man in

him from going to the United States

Christine Wilson's Husband q

PARIS, January 26.-The Figaro
this morning contains piece OF news
which will be heard~with deep regret
by the thousands of. Nine. Nilsson
American friends and admirers. NJ
Rouzaud, the husband of the gifted
prima donna, has fallen an innocent
victim to the prevalent mania for
speculation. He was, it appears,
largely interested in the business OF
one Of the Paris stock brokers.
During the recent panic he was given
to understand or faucicd that he lost
the whole Of his fortune. This proved,
happily, to be a mistake; but the ex.
element caused by the fear of his
imaginary ruin turned his head, and
yesterday evening it was found neces
sary to remove him to the private
asylum Of DR.. Goujon, where he now
spends his time winning airy millions
by fantastic rises in securities. NJ
Rouzaud had been for some time past
inclined to .hypochondria. He wal
generally and sincerely esteemed and
one of the few men who married q
prima donna without having to repent
their temerity.
