despise the tin-kettle rage that was raised by
the press when the refusal became known.
Hayti has been just as liberal as she can afford
to be- and as she denies that she ever promised
US the mole it is the part Of the United States
to prove that she made such promise before
accusing her of bad faith.
MIR. Douglass talked interestingly of the beau
ties of the island, the climate. the charac teris-
tics of the people and the chances OF the race
for success in the experiment of self-govern-
meut. He said: If Hayti could be kept free
from revolutions she would become, in pro-
portion to her population, the richest country
of the world"
There were some deplorable features of the
civilization there. especially the results of the
compulsory military service, which has left on
the faces and figures of the males the marks
of the most wretched depravity. Every third

PRAISE FOR HrPPoLrrE.
The character of President Hyppolite formed
theme for Mr.. Douglass eloquence, and he
gave that much-abused individual q vigorous
support, based on personal observation. He
said that in condemning him the people failed
to take into consideration the surrounding cir
cumstances, that the leaders in the revolutions
are men from the worst classes, and that
scarcely does president mount the chair Of
state before there is conspiracy formed e
pull him down. Hyppolite has been censured
unjustly. Instead OF being an inhuman mon.
ster, he ID q participating to discharge hia
sworn duty and to circumvent the enemies Of
law and order.

We are glad to be able to report to
the friends of Mr.. Street, who are
many and to be found in every dis
trict in the county, that his condition
is greatly improved and his chances
for recovery have greatly increased
since our last issue.
DR.. Robt. Pillow, his attending
physician, assisted by DR.. II. 8. Cox
of this city, aud Drs. Briggs and
Shannon, of Nashville, performed
very successfully a very dangerous
surgical operation upon Mr.. Street
last Tuesday, to remove a perity'
phlitic abscess. A great quantity o.
matter was discharged, the patient
rallied quick and strong, and the re
suit was in every way gratifying an6
encouraging. His physicians now
think that barring any unforeseen
complications, his recovery is assured
and will be rapid. 1t affords tn,
HERALD pleasure to report this gooC
news. Mr.. Street Is man this towI

A Measure Of Relief.

EDITOR HERALD:-One thing is
painfully evident, the people have
not enough money for even current
business. Especially is this true in
Maury County, owing to recent imam
cial disasters. It is also true that In
stead OF money getting easier, it is
getting tighter. Our two banks can
not accommodate the people, or relieve
their urgent monetary necessities,
except TO small extent. No one has
suggested any sort of relief. Is there
no way to mitigate the evil that has
befallen us?
The writer submits the following
plan to the thoughtful depositors and
creditors of the two banks now in the
hands of trustees. he does 1t on his
own responsibility. In private con-
versstion with various deeply inter-
ested parties, it has interpretation.
[ will put the plan alphabetically.
Suppose committee, OF such q
number as may be determined on,
selected by creditor and depositor and
they may need, do the following
things.
lst. Thoroughly examine the books
and affairs of the banks, il desired.
2nd. Value in dollars and cents
every asset of the bank.
3rd, Determine within what time
these assets can be collected in
view of the interest OF all concerned,
and with the least. prejudice to any
and all interests.
4th. Within what time and periods
of time dividends can safely be de-
cIared, and the amount OF such diVi-
dends.
5th. How much will the deposition
and creditor be paid Oh the dollar, or
will he be paid in full.
9th. Give such other information
as may be required or necessary.
Let these facts be published oveI
the name of these committeeman
and be vouched for by them as true,
in both the county papers. In this
report every man and woman, from
one end OF the county to the other
would trust, il the committee was
iudiciously selected, and it could and
undoubtedly would be.
Now suppose the bank owed me
, one thousand dollars as q depOsitor
and the committee have reported thai
the bank would bay twenty-five pei
, cent dividends every six months, anC
would pay four such, making dolls
T for dollar. Then let the trustee issue
his certificate for $3.50, payable in si1
months, $3.50 in twelve months, $2oi
interest bearing or not as may be de
, termined upon. Let these certificate
be issued In any amount demanded
l so as to accommodate the business
community who might need them il

was IN her 9th year, and for the past
few years had been blind, but retained
the faculties of her mind 20 great eX-
tent. Her brother, Mr.. Ntcks, from
Wisconsin, who is quite an aged man,
was with her in her last illness, as was
also her two daughters, Mrs. DR.. Wat
Pickett, and Mrs. Margaret Beasley.
She was also the mother Of the late
Mrs. II enry Cummins, and grandmother
of s. M. Cnmmins, Esq, and Mrs. j. IL.
Houser, of this place. The poor attenu-

resurrection, clothed in Immortality.
