legislature. The dog is dead but still
has bark. Ia the house yesterday a
senate bill came up on its third read
ing for the relief of W. P. Bray, a
revenue collector for Decatur county
The preamble sets forth that Bray
paid out Of his own pocket 1890 under
the dog.tax law for persons from
whom be was unable to collect the
tax, times being hard and crops bad,
and authorizes the comptroller to
draw his warrant in Brays favor for
that amount. The committee on
claims recommended the striking out
OF 1890 and inserting 1895. Adopted.
Mr.. Swaford moved to amend to pay
back the dog tax to everyone showing
a receipt for the same. A motion TO
table the amendment failed by vote
of Z to II. Mr.. Williamson
moved to table the bill. Adopted.
Why not tax all the sheep in the State
81 a head until enough tax is col
lected to refund the dog with interest?
That would be an ironical but logical
kind Of justice. 1t might be provided
further that all taxes may be paid in
sheep scalps, and thus hasten the
happy day when there will be ten dogs
in every family aud not a sheep in the
State, except when brought along in a
cage by a circus as a curiosity.

The Peabody Institutes Tennes.
see RQudA.

We trust the Legislature will pass
the bill now pending in reference to
the Peabody bonds. The following is
the plank in the Democratic platform
in reference to these bonds:
That we are in favor Of paying in
full all bonds held on the lst day OF
January, 1882, by educational, charita
bic and literary institutions"
No one will pretend that these
bonds, held as a part of the Peabody
fund, anA from which the State has
drawn SO literally, are not covered by
the platform, and by the platform are
to be paid in full.
AS reasonable men, we ought to give
the platform a reasonable and fair
construction, and then, as public
servants, the Legislature should carry
it out.
The platform in all other respects is
being carried out. The caucuses de-
cide1 AZ first not to carry out the pro-
vision for paying the State debt
proper, but this decision was over.
ruled upon more mature reflection.
1t is already hinted by our enemies
that the State debt proper bonds had
In q large measure become the subject
Of speculation, end that this construo-
tion is undoine what the caucus did.
This intimation is totally without
foundation, as all know who we're ia /.
miliar with the discussion.
But, having returned to the plat
form in this regard, we cant afford to
palpably disregard the platform be
cause the beneficiary lives out of the
State. We can't 60 before the coun
try on this record Nashville Ameri-
can, II.
1t would certainly be to the credit
of Tennessee as we'll as in accord with
the spirit Of the June platform to pay
the Peabody bonds in full without any
quibbling or even mental reservation.
The State accepted munifcent bene-
fit from Mr.. PeabOdy's donations, and
should at least show feeling
of gratitude and a decent
respect for the opinions
of mankind. The Peabody bonds
we're perhaps not thought of when the
June platform was adopted. We arc
in favor AT standing by the platform
to the very letter aud to give it a
broad and just construction. 1t will
place Tennessee in very unfavorable
light before the world to continue to
derive a benefit from the Peabody
fund and yet cut down to 90 3 the
bonds held by an educational insti-
tuition in another State.
To recognize these bonds in
full and provide for the payment
Of Itheir face sinterestsemi-annua
will do more to correct public ssnti-
ment abroad, and to restore feeling
Of respect and good will than all the
debt legislation of the last ten years.
The Legislature has fine opportunity
now to do noble act on behalf of the
State aud of the cause of education.

The Merchants Acting on the
Railway Tom mission Bill.

A meeting Of the Merchants Ex-
change is to be held this afternoon 10
discuss the Hon. D. P. Hadden's pc
tition to the Legislature, asking it TO
appropriate money to establish and
maintain quarantine; also to act upon
a telegraphic communication from the
Merchants Exchange of Nashville,
asking operation in opposition to
the caucus Railway Commission bill
now pending in the Legislature. The
merchants and citizens Of Nashville
met yesterday and gave expression to
their sense Of opposition to the bill
regarding the appointment of Railroad
Commissioners. The bill appeared in
yesterdays American, and it is ex-
pected the lower House will dispose of
it in few days.
The act, fit becomes law, author
ICES the Governor to appoint three
Railway Commissioners, at $500 per
annum sslary,and a Secretary at $500,
their successors to be chosen by the
people, to take office in January, 1885,
for two years. They are not to be
connected with railroads. or own
stocks or bonds of any. In case Of
inability to serve, the Governor is to
fill their places temporarily. They
will give $4,000 bond each, and must
have their Office at Nashville, the
State to pay their expenses when
travelling on duty, They are to have
access at all times to the books of rail-
ways; can interrogate any or all en-
plOyes under oath, and the roads
officers mast make out statements of
their property and business at stated
intervals. They shall make out a
schedule Of maximum rate of charges
on freights and passenger rates, and
prevent extOrtion and unjust discrim-
inatiOn, and revised schedules are to
be made public through papers at
Nashville, Memphis, Jackson, Chat
tanoOga and Knoxville, and they will
be permitted to allow railways to
charge higher rates for hauling short
distances than for long ones, and eff
forts are to be made to secure uniform
rates through the various States. Wits
nesses, ETC., are to be allowed fees the
same as now allowed in Circuit Courts
and to be punished for contempt if
they decline to give proper informa-
tiOn. Corporations attempting to him
der or obstruct the witnesses may
suffer penalties of 500 to $4,000
for each offense, to be recovered
by an action for debt. The
commission is to make annual state
ments to the Governor before Decem.
Der 18th of each year and give a
detailed account of everything per-
tanning to railways, the length, value,
condition, regulations, business, num-
Der of people employed, and of all
minor matters OF interest to the pub
lie. The railway managers may have
rates Of charges varied by the com.
missioners upon written statements of
their wishes, provided the same is not,
in their estimation, against the pub
tic interest.

A GROUND UP"
The Work Done by Cow Boys During the
Branding Season.


The Tom Green Times gives the following
interesting account of Ground trip" near
that vicinity recently:
Last Monday we attended a round up on
Colonel Jefleeson's ranch at Pecan creek.
Perhaps short account may be of interest TO
such OF our readers as have never had an OPP
portunily Of witnessing one. The round up
in question was for the purpose of cutting out
beef steers and branding the calves born
since, and those who had been overlooked
at the general round up. All the cattle in
that section had been driven together and
held in herd, that is, kept from straying by
horsemen, who dart after any animal who
shows disposition to leave its companions.
The cutting out is effected by horseman
who. selecting steer that he thinks is fat
enough for market, rides into the herd, turns
the animal out and drives him some distance
from his companions. Thus, gradually, the
fat cattle are separated from those who are to
be held for stock. This description is simple,
but no words can give an idea of the wonder
iui ohhi hSNSooaiJ W ia
Imagine from 500 to 1000 head of cattle in
compact body, surging first in one direction
then in another, endeavoring to escape from
invisible bonds that nevertheless hold them
as securely as a stone wall 10 feet high
Round and through this mass gallop from u
to 20 horsemen. To the unframed eye al
is confusion, but a little study shows thai
these men though apparently independent ar,
working in unison. When the branding
begins, the cowboys use their long lariats tc
rope the calves and drag them to the ire
where the irons are kept hot. The skill will
which they throw a rope is wonderful. NJ
