NEW YORK, February 81, 1883.
To the Speaker of the Senate and General As
sembly of Tennessee.

p, DEAR SIR-The committee of Tennessee bond
holders herewith submit :their urgent reasons for
the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee
for the advance on the docket of certain csuses
now pending in the Supreme Court of the United
states. The bonds issued by the State Of
Tennessee, both before and after the
war. to aid in the construction OF railroads form
a very Large proportion of her public debt.
and Washington have made it patent for the past
three years that the holders of the Tennessee
bonds issued 10 railroads were engaged in the ei-
tort to enforce the statutory lien imposed by the
acts Of the General Assembly OF the State on the
property OF the railroads for whose benefit the
bonds were issued In view of the crowded con-
Of the United States, it is not probable
that these causes, II treated as mere private
controversies viii be reached for argument in less
than two years In pui suanee, however, of a rule
Of that court, the bondbolders have entered a mo-
ton for the advance of the suits to a hearing at
the present term OF the supreme Court. That
motion IS noticed for the 5th OF March next. The
application is grounded the fact that a State of
the Union is debtor in the Obligation forming the
basis OF the suits. and that the financial affairs of
tennessee nave been and are perturbed by the
existence of the unsolved question at issue in the
causes; and that the cardinal question is whether
the state or the railroad companies, or both are
bound Tor the payment of the bonds 1t seems to
that the solution of this inquiry is essential to
the naBcisl repOse of the State because il cannot
be expected that the bondholders will accept any
offer OF compromise which proceeds from The State
while they consider that they have far more
valuable security in the statutory mortgage
upon the railroad property. Therefore, what views
may be entertained in regard TO the equities of the
different parties concerned ii seems clear that no
result can be achieved which will restore the f.
the precedent of the railroad ability is determined
by the highest court in the country. While the com
mlItee believe the Supreme Court will fsyorably
consider these grounds for according prompt
hearing. they are advised that in Similar ia
stances the application has been granted at the
instance OF the state OF the Union. For the above

Curing Bacon, Hams ana Shoulder.

This subjcct was treated IN your col

able mtuncr ~ somc o! your conuihn'o:.
AZ the prescn, Is the proper time TO put
up and cure pork meats in the farm house
hold, il il better 10 give experience and
proper directions now than later, when
they can only be used the next season,
with the liability to forget them by that
time.
Dry curing, or piling on platforms and
floors, is preferred by us 10 curing in
pickle. In the former case the animal
blood and fluids are pressed out OF the
meat and leave them Immediately. They
are not retained in the pickle to sour, or
decompose, or otherwise unfayora6ly affect
the thorough curing of the meats and
keeping them good.
The lest dairy salt ought always to be.
used, as 1t is not only best adapted for the
purpose, and the most certain to do the
business, but is actually cheapest, requir-
ing less with less danger of souring AT the
bone or causing other defects IN curing
1t ought always to be perfectly dried on u
stone, making il IA lively and movable in
the hand as dry sand or gun.powder. To
this, IN the proportion of about SIX or
elgh, pounds for 100 pounds OF meat, take
a. much sorghum syrup as will make the
salt semi.iiuid, with about ounce OF salt
petre and as much powdered alspice,
cloves, pepper and bay leaves, all in fine
powder Rub this well into the meat
when first applying 1t, and pile "a high as
convenient to press out all the blood aud
animal fluids. At the end of each week
handle the pile over again, rubbing each
piece separately but using less of the mix
lure Than at first This should be repeated
! for SIX or eight weeks. The more The
meat is handled, the better it Is. II is still
better If rubbed over with the sorghum
syrup at lesst once. OF course powdered
sugar answers the same purpose as the sor
ghum, but II is usually deares, and no bet
| ter.
| At the end Of two months smoke well
Tor two or three weeks, keeping the meat
as cool IA possible and after hanging in
smokehouse till well dried, wrap in news
papers and te up in tiour.sacks, keeping
In cool place.
Meat thus prepared will keep through
out the season without any of 1t spelling
or making trouble in any way. The main
point seems TO be to put on sugar enough
without fail 10 answer the purpose OF max

They Were Poor.

An exchange recalls the following
historical facts, which should encourage
young men struggling under discour-
agement and poverty:

the son of farmer of very moderate
means. The only start he had was his
education.
Andrew Jackson was born in log
hut in the pine woods, for which that
State is SO famous.
James X. Polk spent the earlier years
of his life helping to dig his living out
of a new farm in North Carolina. He
was afterwards n clerk in country
store.
Willard Fillmore was the son of 4
New York farmer, and his house was n
very humble one. He learned the bus
mess of clothier. =.
James Buchanan was born in small
town among the Allegheny Mountains
His father cut the logs and built his
own house in what was then wilder
ness.
Abraham Lincoln was the son OF a
very poor Kentucky farmer, and lived
in a log cabin until he was q years OF
age.
Andrew johnson was apprenticed TO
tailor at the age of 10 years by his
widowed mother He was never able
to attend school, and picked up all the
education he ever got.
