THE Nashville correspondent of

Are you prepared to say that 6O-3-

Are you prepared to say that 60-3-
4-5-6 is not an equitable settlement.
Brother Thomas, you are a man
of too much good, hard sense to be
led astray by the cry of the dema-
gogues and disorganizers, and you
must know that 60-3-4-5-6 is an
equitable and just settlement and
the nearest approach to 50-4 that
will, in all probability, ever be Sc
cured.
Suppose in the hope of getting
5O-4, this 6O-3-4-5-6 settlement is not
sustained, how much better would
5O-4 be? IL would be nearly eigh-
teen months before the next Legis-
lature could fund the debt. The
interest would accrue at per cent,
and the amount of the debt then 50
compromised would be almost the
same, certainly very little less than
the present settlement. Don't you
know this?

Now that the legislature has pas
sed the bill to settle the State debt,
let the Democracy rally around this
old flag and give Mr.. Hawkins and
his crew their walking papers. The
democracy have been divided and
distracted long enough over this
State debt business. The people are
tired of it. The settlement is fair
and reasonable one, and certainly
has the consent of the creditors.
81 2O0, 900 off, leaving $l6, 800, 900,
and 3, 4, 8, for two years each, and
6 per cent. for the balance of thirty
years, is fair enough.-Efias Re0iet0.

GEN. CHALMERS, of Mississippi,
recently asserted that MIR. Hewitt
of New York, said the Northern
Democrats could not afford to fill
buster in his case when IA negro was
interested on the other side, al
though they would have done SO
had it been Il case between two
white men. Mr.. Hewitt replies
that he said nothing of the kind,
and that Gen. Chalmers was fully
advised of the facts and admitted
that he Was satisfied. He then goes
on to say that Col. House and other
Southern Democrats declared that
they could not support Gen. Chal-
mers in Il case so clear against him.
1t was to Col. House and other
Democrats from the South that
Gen. Chalmers submitted his case.
House, like himself, as true as steel
to his party, but truer to his ms
tincts of manhood and convictions
of right, after a thorough investiga--
ton, satisfied himself that an hon.
est man could not support General
Chalmers in his absurd claim, based
upon pure technicalitieS and adher-

would be well if some other Demo-
Gratis could learn q lesson which the
Republican, party, as Il party, can
never learn, that Democracy will
best help itself to National power
and local rule by adherence TO right.
There is no sacrifice House will not
make of himself or any pet idea he
may hold for his party and his
country. but the man VINO expects
OF him violation of the rules of
right as tribute to party, country
or personal friendship, will wake
up the wrong man. No man from
the South has acquired greater in
fiuence or reflected more credit upon
his State and the people of his dis
trict than House. This is due as
much to his rigid fairness and ad-
herence to right as to his great abili-
ty and strict attention to duty

DEATH of CITY Marshal WafhaL

/ A deep sense of sorrow filled the
hearts OF our citizens last Sunday
afternoon, the 18th inst, at the an
nOuncement Of the death or Robert
ID. Walthal, which untimely event
occurred at his home on Main street
this city, on the day named, at 2
O'Clock p. m. He had been sick
for about four months with chronic
diarrh@a and congestion of the
stomach, but up to few days ago
his physicians and friends had
hoped and believed that owing to
his splendid physical strength and
manly, patient courage in his long
suffering, he might conquer the
disease. But this was not to be,
and death came with kindly hand
to relieve him of his intense suffer-
ing.
The news of his death, as stated,
though not unexpected, none the
less caused the truest feelings of re-
greet among all who knew him and
had felt the kindly influence of his
generous friendship. Bob Walthal
was universally popular man,
liked by every one who came with

either in the social or business

from boyhood and was known to
all, respected and esteemed by all
for his sterling worth, his true hu-
manity and unassuming gentle
manliness.
Continuously since 1870, with the
exception OF 1871, he had held the
responsible position of City Mar
shall, and attended to his duties
with such marked ability, fidelity
and untiring energy rs to receive
the earnest rrai-euf all citizens and
to become Il fixture in the Office. 1t
will ts- hard irIrtri Ia supply his
place.
He as in the prime of life and
by sturdy industry and constant
application TO business, had acquired
a comfortable competency. He was
an hpnorcd np'fnirr Of the Odd
Fellows aul knights Of pythi,,s,
who together with a large cobcourse
of friends and relatives attended
his funeral at the family residence
on Monday afternoon at 4 O'Clock.
The Rev. j. d. Barbee otflciated at
the funeral services, and interment
took place at Greenwood Cemetery.
The deep sympathy that was uni
versally felt for his bereaved wife,
motherand other relatives, as wellas
the high regard in which the de-
ceased was held, cannot. be more
appropriately shown than by the
following tributes of respect, which

A RemarkabLe Case.

Hon. Harrison Bailey owns a COW
which in the last four years has drop
ped nine calves, three of them the
present year, and e course is highly
valued. A few nights ago she got in
a corn.feld and filed herself so full
Of the provender there that she was
unable TO rise when she laid down,
and nothing short finer death was ex.
pected until a neighbor came along
aud undertook torelieve her by plung.
ing bu,cher.knife into her flank just
in front of the hip bone. This failed
to have the desired effect, and another
neighbOr proposed TO enlarge the hole
made by the knife and remove the
food. To this the owner would not
consent until convinced that she would
die any way, and then the experiment
was tried, and fully six bushels of un'
digested corn, corn stalks and grass,
in state of fermentation, was remOv.
ed from her paunch. The opening
was then closed and in a very short
time the animal was on her feet and
as contentedly chewing her cud as il
nothing unusual had happened, and is
to day as well as any other COW on the
place.-[Shelby Sentinel.

Old Sim Simon

This is a pathetic little song after
the original, an improriso by v. X.
Logan, @. NJ. G. It is one of those
songs that obtain a lifelong grip on
the music.loving puplic, because Of
the simplicity Of the words and unriy,
allied melody Of the composition 10
which they are set. To give our read.
ers an adequate idea Of the song, we
quote a few verses. One beautiful
popularity Of the composition consists
in the hct that II can be sung to any
measure the singer may adopt, and
the effect will be precisely the same.
We quote:
'"Twas Old Sim simon and young sim Simon,
And cid sim simon's son,
Young sim simon YIN be Sim Simon
when old Sim Simon IL gone"
Note the pathos contained in the
above lines. Simon Simon is getting
old aOd rapidly crawling down the hill
of life. Young Sim smiles softly as
he thinks his father will soon flicker
out and leave him to inherit the fami.
ly appellation and the old mans accu-
INFLATED hank account. Thus we see
that the first verse suggests the pic.
ture Of old Sim about TO shuttle of
this mortal coil, and the young scion
of the old family stock confident in
bis ability to uphold the family honor
and spend the hard earned money Of
his dad.
In verse second this comes out still
palmer. The sentiment changes from
a subdued pathetic to a basso-profunda
diminuendo, with a crescendo move.
ment, and the author sadly informs
us that
'"rwas old sim Simon and young Sim Simon
And old sim sin'On's sOn,
Young Sim Simon uill bo sim Simon
When old Sim siInon Is gone"
Could anything be more beautiful
We think not. Not only did old Sim
have a son Sim, but we are led 70
believe from the reading Of the song
that he was an only son. The old
man had doubtless lavished upon bis
offspring all the money necessary 10
fit him for a good position in life that
would not disgrace a Simon pure.
Probably, being an only son, young
Sim was somewhat fast, and inclined
TO rake in the pot after the midnight
hour. But the main idea of the au'
thor Of the song is that
"Youug SIN Simon will he Sim simon
when old Sim Simon is gone"
We think the explanation is sufIi
GENTLY simple for all to comprehend.
We might extend this al infnitum, Gd
liJiiua, al naHseum il we had not done
so already, but forbear. There are
80 more verses just like the ones we
have quoted, and no family is com
