ALEX ANDRIA.
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST "a.

The RRPUDIAToRs say the State debt is
settled on the terms of the Riddleberger
bill. And yet suits by the score are being
brought against the State, and several OF
her county treasurers purpose resigning in
order to relieve their sureties OF the risk OF
damages to be incurred by their refusing TO
accept coupons in payment of taxes. 10
say the debt is settled ,honorably in the face OF
these facts is absurd. The debt can be settled,
satisfactorily to the creditors and therefore
honestly to the State, by agreeing to pay
four per cent. interest, instead OF the six per
cent the State is bound for. Such terms Of
settlement are even proposed BY the credl-
tors. That she is perfectly able to comply
with them is proved by the statements of her
auditors. Her best friends and those most
interested in her prosperity advise her to
accept them, but her demagogues, repudia'
tors and time servers and some of her
unwise citizens advice her against do
ing 80, and, unfortunately for both her ma
terial and moral welfare, she has, up to the
present, followed the advice of the latter.
The question, will she continue to do 30? is
the most important one she was ever called
upon to answer.

his principals taxes. He and the State are

marches with q view of surprising the In.
dams. They, however, had become aware
of the movement, and slipped away several
hours before the arrival Of the troops, in two
bands, ono of ten coming north and the
other Of thirteen going enst This shows how
extremely difficult it is to surprise the
Apsches, who are as alert as weasels. Part
of Capt. Lawton's command came in while
the informant was at the ranch, some men
wounded. Lawton, who is uninjured was
expected daily. Gen. Forsythe who went
down from Huchacua is on his way back.
