Indebtedness on account of the security
for railroad bonds amounted, on January
"a. 1876. to s14,641 900, and the whole debt
of the State, straight and contingent,
was then $50, 037 562. From July, 1868, to
November, 1874, the Republicans had un-
disputed possession of the State govern
ment with the exception of the two years
when Lindsay was Governor. During
that time, however the Legislature was
unfriendly to him and his party. The
real Governor of the State during Lind
says administration might be regarded
perhaps as the commander of the mill
tary department in which Alabama was
embraced.
1T will be seen that during these six
and one-quarter years, the debt of the
State has risen to $50. or. 563, or an increase
of SIS, 312, 463; an increase which amounted
to an addition to the States burden Of
A,00O.000 each year, equal to about two
times the annual receipts of the State
treasury up to three or four years ago.
The interest on this $50. Ooc. 900 was some
thing over $2,0O0,000, OF a sum of money
equal to the entirs receipts of the State
Treasury up to three four years ago.
The assessment OF property in this State
when Lewis went out of office was $780,
000, 900 and was so returned. On this the
State tax rate alone, in order simply and
merely to pay the interest on the bonded
debt. would have been fixed at about $3.50
on the hundred dollars. to say nothing
of the additional tax that must have been
levied to carry on the various depart
ments of the State government.
These figures of the States indebted
ness are exclusive of the obligations in
CURED by counties and municipalities
under the administration of these same
carpet-baggers and scallawags. Hardly
one Of these divisions Of the State but
labored under burdens which they were
not able to bear, and they are struggling
today in every part of the State with
some part of these vast burdens.
"If we should include among the obli-
cations placed upon us by Republican
thieves oil that day, the several amounts
for courties and cities. we would have
an Indebtedness. when Houston came into
Office of something like fifty million in
stead OF tn rty. Under Democratic ad-
ministra ton the debt has been reduced
to something over nine million. The in
terest account alone has come down fro.l
about 81, 0OO0 900 a year to $449. 900; the as
sessment of real and personal property
has grown from $780, 900. 900, when Lewis
went out of office. to 1924, 100000 this year,
S27. 600 900 of which increase has been put
on the books in the last two years. When
Lewis went out of office not only was
there a vast bonded debt but thousands
and thousands of dollars of floating
claims were crying at the treasury doors
for recognition.
Republican rule in Alabama is a-hor-
rible memory"

sWAYNE's MEN ESCAPE.
England Receives Good News from
Somaliland.

London. Oct. pa message received at
the foreign Office here today from Cen
eral Manning. dated Berbera. capital of
Somaliland. announces that the force
commanded by Colonel Swayne which
was threatened with destruction by the
army commanded by the Mad Mullah, has
reached Bohotle in safety.
General Manning's message adds: Colo
mel Swaynes force was not attacked dur
ing its retirement. The situation, con-
sebuently, is more satisfactory, but does
not cancel the orders warning a Punjab
regiment to be in readiness in case 1t is
wanted as further developments must
be awaited The wounded are all doing
we'll and no anxiety concerning the
wounded officers need be felt. The Alden
detachment is expected today and will go
forward tomorrow"
The news from Somallland causes great
satisfaction and relieved the keen anxiety
felt as to the fate OF the British expedi-
ton. General Mannings message was
promptly forwarded to King Edward.
