ANOTHER FCHDI2IQ BILL 8CHIMI We present to-day the opinions of fw of oar State exchanges upon the State debt qaeation. Newspaper do not al ways accurately represent the people, hut these extracts at least give an idea of the diversity of opinion which pre vails. A powerful effort will be made to iorce through the compromise, which, it is said, some of the bondholders have agreed to offer. The journals which ;avor the compromise insist that we Fhould accept the reductiou of nine mil lions of dollars on the debt, but very few of them state what increase of taxation will be necessary to pay the interest on the State debt regularly under the new funding act. It woulJ be the greatest farce of all to becept such a reduction and then fail or ipfuse to pay the interest thereafter on the remainder of the debt. It would be utmost as much an act of bad faith as the funding bill of 1873, which funded everything in sight, but made no provis ion for the payment of interest. It i eemed to be enough that the governor vt that time, and nntil recently, could borrow money at a high rate of interest lor this purpose. The present legisla ture took away that power and reduced the rate of taxation to a figure barely sufficient to pay current expenses. Gov. Porter cannot raise another seven hun dred thousand dollars to redeem coupons ajrith on Wall street, dollar for dollar, therefore the New York bondholders, tome of them at least, are understood lo Live signified a willingness to hive an other funding act passed. It should be remembered that several millions of the present debt is interest. Over fiv mil lions of interest was funded into a per manent fanded debt in 1868, and ha Iieen bearing interest at six per cent, ever ttince. A portion of the funded debt, which formerly bore five per cent, inter est, was refunded in 1873 at six percent And now we are asked to pass another iacding bill under the guise of a compro raise, bo that henceforth we may further mortgege every dollar's worth of prop erty in the State and hind ourselves and our children to pay interest opon com pounded interest. Bach a bill if enacted can only go the way and share the fate o its predecessor, when it it passed opon by the people. The first one enabled many speculators to onload at a handsome profit, but we doubt a similar result in this case. This question cannot be taken out of politics by another funding bill rushed through the legislature. When the settlement is made it should be equitable, acceptable to the people and final. A TENNESSEE CENTENARIAN GONE. The Knoxville papers of last week contain accounts of the life and death of Thomas Grimaldi, a citizen of that place who died on the 221 itst. in his one hundred and sixth year. He was born in Cornwall, Port of Fal mouth,- England, on the 2t;h day of December, 1771, and therefore would have been one hundred and sii years old on the 2l.h of next month He enlibted at an early age io the British navy, where he received a commission as " Warrant Carpenter," which he held for forty consecutive years. During that lime he served through the war with France and the war of la 12 with the United States, aud visited almost every country on the globe accessible by water Id his latter days his memory of the ecenet of hia early life was quite vivid, and nothing afforded him greater pleas ure than to converse intelligently cog cerning his "life on the ocean wave.' Among the engagements which he was wont to recount as having witnessed during his service in the 'javy, was oue with u n American privateer, in which both vessels were disabled, and Mr, Grim aldi was wounded in the right band the car from which he carries to his grave At the reception of the news from the bat tie of Waterloo, hit vessel, under Com uiondore Rogers a relative of the de ceiscd waa returning from Jamaica in haste; but the English vessel which cotntuuuicated the intelligence baited long enough to exchange salutations with his own and enjoy a jollification The Tribune says: "Mr, Grimaldi was a cousin to the celebrated Italian clown o the eame name, whose reputation will down to posterity as the greatest comedian of bis day. Though of Eng lnh birth, tut ancestry is traced to an Jluttrious family f Genoa, Italy, who were distinguished as partisans of the QurlpSs, three of whom were renowned naval officers Eanieri, Antonio add Gi ovanni also, Geronimo Grimaldi. a dis tinguished philanthropist of his day. Deceased lived an exemplary life, and his extensive travels and observations of the world only strengthened his convic tions of duty to God and his fellow-man. Even though temperate in all things, save the use of tobacco which be used even to excess his longevity is most re markable. Some two months since he was injured by a fall, since when he has been confined to hi? bed, and which was, doubtless, the immediate cause of his death. lie expressed himself frequently as ready and willing to die, and the night before his death said he could not live to see his 106th birthday on Christmas eve. He had, since boyhood, been a consistent member of the Frotestant Episcopal Church, and in former years was ever found in his place at the house of wor ship." He died in full faith of a happy hereafter, and retained his faculties in a remarkable degree to the last It is said tbat there are not more than six centcn- nariaua living in Tenuessee. COLONEL COLT A R OH THE STATE DEBT QUESTION. Colonel A. S. Colyar, ono of the cat aidates to fill the vacancy in the house of representatives occasioned by the resignation of Hon. P. T. Phillips, of Davidson, made rn ad iress lust Satur day morning in the court house yard at Nashville, which the Banner reported as follows: The speaker said that, the queation be fore the people cf Tennessee was not one of party at all. lie did not wish to ex cite them in regard to politic, but desired to discuss the matter of the settlement of the State debt, calmly and impartially. He did not wish to arouse any excitable feeliiig9, but to talk to them on a subject in which they were all interested. He had not, at any time, contended that the bonds were not legally issued. He was of the opinion that the letters written by the representatives of Tennessee at Wash ington did not represent the true feelincs ol the citiz jus of the State regarding the matter. If they would travel over the country they would eoou discover that opinions fardiffereut were entertained hy 'be majority ot their constituents. He was opposed to the settlement of the debt upon a basis of sixty cents on the dollar The sap-headed politicians who, two years ago, funded the debt, and expressed themselves as very confident that they would be able to pay the interest, now fully realize the fact that they missed it by fl, 100,000. If the sixty cent compromise was agreed upon by the legislature, one-fifth of the lands in Ten nesse would have to be sold at auction and be bought in by the State The question which now puzzled the paople was whether they would be able to bear it. If the legislature at the called ses sion would retuse to levy a tax to Dav the interest, they would not be doing any more in the way of repudiation than the zeneral assemblies had done during the past three sessions. He thoucht that any State that is in an insolvent con dition, when io a condition to pay tven a portion of a debt, should at least go to her creditors and talk to them about it The Nashville Banner, an able paper. which has usually been inclined to high State credit views, in discussing this sub ject, said recently, in a temperate and well considered article, that in justice to our State and the South it should be borne in mind that there has b?en brought abcut by legislation in the inter est cf the bondholder a most calamitods itate of public affairs, for which the Southern people are in no wise responsi ble. The contraction of the currenoy.pre paratory to resumption cf specie payment n gold in 1879, at the rate of a million and a half dollars per month, and the de monetization of silver, have destroyed confidence, depressed the business of the country and filled the public mind with alarm and apprehension for the fuiure. Under such a baneful eovernmeutal anciaf policy, can we wonder that lands offer no security to the money-lenders, that the wheels of commerce ere blocked, tbat bankrupts are increasing, that the people groan under the burden of heavy taxation, that tramps infest the public highways, that labor is unrewarded and a reemployed, and in fact nothing but the absolute necessaries of life and money have any value whatever? " Col. ox el A. E. Fobd, general piiisen ger auent of the Iron Mountain railroad, estimates that one hundred an 1 twenty five emigrants fur Texas pass ov-r that line d,-ii!y, omitting Sundays This is about 750 pr week or 3000 psr month The M., K. and T. roud perhaps carries 2)0O per mouth, while many enter Texas by water at (ja!ve3'on, Corpus Christi, etc , to eay nothing cf the gr:at timber who gi by wng n S j it may Le safely estimate 1 that eight or ten thoasuud persons go io Jtx is in each month of the emigration season, which lasts nterly six months.

STATE DEBT. Various Opinions of the State Press Upon this Great Question. Kogorsviile spectator: There are no party interests involved in the Question and we are glad that no issue of that nature bas been raised. County and city organs are generally correct exponents oi public opinion, and this being true in this instance, we must take it for granted tbat our portion of the State, at least, is faverable to the acceptance of the pro posed compromise. Knoxville Chronicle: Or it may be that the friends of the governor, those directly interested, the joint owners of the pools, cannot a fiord to take much of a riak, and tbat he has been persuaded to keep the reins in his own hands, lent there is a runaway and some one gats hurt. But we will not inquire into these matters. We are interested in sustain mg the credit of the State, and if the governor distrusts the legislature it is noue of our business, and if the bond gamblers do reap a rich harvest, we do not Bee bow itjis to be helped now. Maury Sentinel: We hope the leeisla' ture will go to Nashville and promptly arrange the public debt and come home The proposition of compromising the States indebtedness, which comes from the bondholders, is fair and equitable enough, and should be accepted. Let them remember, however, tbat wnatever they do, that anything which even has tiie taint of repudiation, will never be tolerate! by the people. The present legislature was elected by the people aot t; repudiate its honest indebtedness. 1 hey at the ballot-box have said that the debt must be paid. Athens Post: We said last week that the State's opportunity was at hand, and that it would be almost criminal not to avail oorselves of it. We meant by that that therg would be but one question be fore the legislature either to accept or r-ject the proposition tendered by the bondholders. It the legislature reject the proposition, then there will be noth ing more for them to do, excest to ad journ and hasten ts their homes. There is no other proposition to be submitted; and we undertake to tay, without any positive information on the subject, that if the one under consideration be re jected, there will never be another made. Neal'g State Gazette: During "the big strike" of last summer, Henry Ward Beecher, Becure in a salary of twenty t'-.ousand dollars a year, said that the family of a laboring man ought to live nn a dollar a day. Postmaster' General Key and Senator Harris, with a big sal ary secured for years, have written letters to Governor Porter saying tbat the peo ple of Tennessee ought to accept the bondholders' proposition to compromise the State debt at sixty cents on the dol lar. Circumstances alter cases. This question has been before the people for some time, and neither Senator Herris nor Judge Key thought enough of it to talk about it until they got to Washing ton. McMinnville New Era: Other States have compromised their total iodebt edness at even a greater discount than fifty cents, and today stand respected and honorable in all commer cial transactions. The false cry of 8tate pride is made only to extort still further upon the hard earnings of an oppressed and impoverished people by simply en deavoring to induce them to forget indi vidua! interests and swallow all op in the hoilow philanthropy of State pride. The first great duty ot a man, after his duty to his God, is to himself and his family, and then to big country. That patriotism and philanthropy that sub sides all other interests to that of the commonwealth is a false one, and should not be entertained to the destruction of all personal and home interests. Correspondence Ripley News: The credit of the State has been held up as a great bug bear to induce us to pay the bonds. Now, for one, I care nothing. for her credit; cn the contrary I think it would be a blessing to us all if the State bad no credit then there would be no inducement for rings and thieves to get her bonds, and th sooner the better for the people. It is somehow underitood that a proposition bas been made to the governor that after the legislature meets tbat some one will offer to take sixty per cent, of the principal and iotercst of the data and have new bonds issued. What man is is that thus speaks as bv authority? Does he represent all or a part of the debt? If not all, then what will the legislature do? Ibe legislature is called together to act on this single proposition and to de vise ways to raise the required revenue to psy these new bonds, provided the proposition is agreed to, and they can perform that duty in a few davg. if thev decide not to vote for the gixty cents, then that ends their labors; if they do, they have additional short work to per form in raiting the revenue necessary to carry out the compromise, and adjourn and not stay at Jiashvilla running the State to useless expenses.

Fortress Moxroe, November 26. Admiral Trenchard, in the United States steamer Powhattan with the other ves sels he had dispatched to the wreck of the United States steamer Huron, ar rived off Kitty Hawk at daylight Sun day. The Fortune went down to Body Island, skirting the beach, looking for the wreck. Captain Stoddart. in the Baker, followed the beach down and found the wreck about 8 o'clock a.m. The sea was running verr hiah and there was no possibility of landing. Signal officers were sent to the Baker and in this way communication was had with the shore, and we learned that one hundred and fourteen were drowned and but thirty were gaved, of whom four were officers. Admiral Trenchard then ordered the Swatora to remain and burr the dead when a anding could be made with safety. Cap tain Stoddard remained to wreck the vessel. The Powhattan left for Hamp ton Roads at 1 p.m. and anchored at midnight. She passed a large sunken vessel, with the two lower masta about eight feet out of the water and the top masts gone. This reporter was on board thePowhat- tan, and his figures of the saved and lost are those current on that vessel, and not as trustworthy as the reports of Satur day and Sunday. From Hexleo, St. Locia, November 26. A special from Matamoras, of yesterday's date, says the troops which left the City of Mexico some days ago, under command General Trevino, for the Rio Grande are not to repel United States troops, but to co operate with the United States authorities in maintaining peace)between the two countries. In consequence of the presence of General Escobedo on the Texas frontier with all his staff oUtcers, evidently to inaugurate a revolution in favcr of ex-President Lerdo, about seven hundred regular troops have embarked at Vera Cruz for the mouth of the Rio Grande, to be used in repelling Esco bedo's forces should he attempt to cross nto Mexico.
