What is TO become of us If this vast debt, or
even the half of it, is hurled upon US at once2
When the item stating the estimate OF
taxable valuations was reached, President
Hadden interrupted the speaker, by way OF
correction, stating the estimate should not be
higher than SI4, 0O0, 900, TO which Chancellor
Mcdowell replied that President Hadden
was correct as TO the value of real and per-
sonaI estate, but that amount did not include
the merchants and privilege tax, which
would make the equivalent Of Sl6,000,0O0, as
stated in the memorandum.
Chancellor Mcdowell concluded his mem.
orandum, and proceeded to remark that he
gave that as a reliable statement of our liza
bilities, and to point out the damage we
incnr in remaining silent on propositions
looking TO a settlement when this vast debt
ia Milling up on US at that enormous rate.
There has been some talk about the danger
of action BY mandamus. He hooted that
idea as a mere isEcy. They cannot pile up
mandamuses on Us, as soL1e have intimated,
because, if the compromise Is ehecte-, even

felt satisfied that the city could do much
better han this; that in order TO enable us
TO complete our streets and sewers he felt
satisfied they would accept two per cent.

five years, and five per cent. Tor the
next i've years, and six per cent. for
the remaining tune of the thirty years during
which the bonds would run. He also be-
lieved that it was TO the interest OF the tax
payers of Memphis to make such settle
ment, so as TO relieve the city OF the uncer-
tainty of the unsettled condition of the debt
and the chances of having the Legislature
or courts ssddling upon Us much larger
sum. He urged the great importance of
making some offer of settlement when the
opportunity is at hand, and thus show to the
creditors and the country that We do not
seek to escape an equitable settlement OF our
deb. AS to the character OF the Law now
pending before the Council it is not proper
Tor me to express an opinion. 1t is claimed

more proper to be raised by the creditors
than US, as they are the parties whose debts
are to be compromised. l urge upon the
people to make some arrangement looking
to settlement-some offer of compromise
to the creditors, then if they did not accept

THE DEADLY PISTOL AGAIN.

About three O'Clock Thursday after

Leonard and The barkeeper, WIN. Nc
Williams, which resulted in Leonard
being shot in the lett shoulder, just
above the lung. The ball severed
an artery and the wounded man bled

there seems to be no two opinions
concerning the affray. All agree that
Leonard was tho aggressor from first
to last. HIS abuse OF McWilliams vas
such as no man could stand. and eye-
witnesses say he went even SO far as
to make a motion to draw his pistol
just before he was shot, though he
had none. McWilliams fired four
shots, only n of which took effect.

ticed, while stretching il TO the beam, that
it had very little resemblance to pigs
hide, either in form or texture. On exam
ination, Mr., Cenee discovered that the skin
was that of a young woman, and states
that it was not long since the owner of 1t
was alive, for ii was quite fresh when

County Roads.

To the Editor OF the Herald;
TRINITY Mills February 27.-The inter
est you has manifested in our county
roads has caused me to think about it, and
the result of my re Elections has been that
our read law is not just one, and until
there is some change made in the law there
will not be much improvement in our
county roads. have talked with many OF
the wealthiest citizens of this part of the
county, and they all agree that the. law Is
not n lust one, and taxation is the only
means of securing good roads. Our largest
landholders and wealthiest citizens, as the
majority of them are over forty-eight years
of age, do not contribute one cent toward
keeping up our county roads. My views
upon this question of road law may not CO.
incide with yours, and it differs from any
that have yet heard advocated, and If you
think il is worth anything you can give 1t
to the world, My plan would be to levy q
poll tax upon all persons subject TO road
duty under the present law, not more than
50 or 81, with the privilege of working the
amount out at 81 per day, or paying the
amount to the overSeers. In addition to
that | would be.in .tavor,o fleyying an ad va
loren tax orl0 cents or 10 cents on 500, the
same to be deposited in the county treas
ury to be equally distributed among the
different precincts and the amount
credited to each precinct the
same as the school fund;
the county commissioners to appoint an
oyerseer in each precinct by u petition
from the people, the overseer to be free
holder in the precinct, making him. n paid
agent OF the county, and 1t should be his
duty to hire men and teams, There should
be a stipulated price for men and teams,
and an overseer should not be allowed to
give more without consest OF
commissioners, =, and IN no case
should be allowed to work his
own teams. II should DE the duty of the
overseer to make out bill, for lumber &c
build bridges and to make sluc boxes tC
carry oil water in swags and low places, the
bill to be approved by commissioners and
paid for out of the road fund ! believe 1
this or u similar law was passed and the
amount annually expended on our county
roads, II would not be many years unit
our public roads would be in u passable
condition in the rainy season OF the year
The work that is reqired on our roads u
ditching and the dirt thrown to the centre
fthe road, so that the water will not stanC
on the road have hastily thrown on
these hints and very imperIectly, but u vii
be readily seen that my plan will give u
better roads, aud think the tax payers O
this county think Il Is high time that Their
was something done to improve our roads
and think they arc willing to pay for Il
lfthis Is not worth publishing, give us
better plan. We would like to hear iror
you every week. Please ventilate the sub
icct aud sympatize with your mud boun
friends and patrons. II has been suggcste
by some that It would bea good plan io
the county to buy some OK teams or mul
teams and set the convicts to work on ou
county roads, but | am afraid the fore
would not Do sufficient to insure us goo
roads.
