TO T.. b. CRocEER, ESQ. Sacramento.

WHEN 10 KILL Y0rR MAN-A ease has just
been decided by the Court Of Appeals at Frank
fort, Kentucky, which settles the question as to
when man who is attacked in the state Of Ken
tucky is justified in killing his aasailiant The
case was from Gaysou Circuit in which Mere
dith had been convicted Of manslaughtcr for the
killing Of one Ireland who attacked him. and the
lower Court charged the Jury
If Ireland assaulted the defendant and he
had reasonable grounds to believe he was in dan
ger Of sustaining great bodily harm, or the loss Of
life from such assault and if necessary, to protect
his life or person from great bodily harm, he
might kill Ireland if he had no safe means Of es-
Gaping But If the defendant couid hare safeig re-
treated from the danger and by that means have
saved his life aud person, he is not eNcusable for
the killing Of Ireland
The higher Court, however, decided that this
was wrong. The jury had nothing to do with
the question, whether the defendant could have
safely retreatcd.' that being question to be set
tied by the judgment Of the defendant himself
In the exercise of this judgment he must act
rati0nly. Whether au actual necessity 70 XII eH-
listed or not was aqueston to be decided by Mere
dh at the time. Though he may have erred in
his Judgment though be could have safely re-
/ treated yet if he acted in good faith and had
reasonable grounds TO believe that his only safety
was TO Kill his antagonist, the law excuses him.

NEVER DEsrIsE YOUR BUSINESS" No man OF
sense" it has been observed, dcspises his bread
and butter" 1t is only the weak who are asham-
ed of laboring for a livelihood. or who affect TO
scorn that branch Of business which they espcci-
ally pursue. The first duty which every man
owes to himself. to his family, aud to his fellow
citizens, is not to become q burden, pecunarily,
TO society. The commonwealth is also the most
nourishjng in which the proportion Of droncs is
the iewest indeed, the idea OF perfect State
involves the necessity of every member of it be
ing producer. Hence it is that work is always
honorable. The most ordinary haudicraft en-
ployment is as worthy if exercised honestly, as
the professions OF law or medicine. Each citizen
should follow that avocation to which he is best
suited aud when he does this he fuldls the law
Of his existence, but never otherwise. A bad
lawyer is less truly respectable than good me-
chanic, and an able doctor is no more mefltorious
than an honest aborer. TO do ones duty, IN the
walk whore one can be most efficient, is to be
honorable to neglect it or 10 seek some other
walk is to become really dsgraced BY this
standard and this only, should we judge OF men s
respectahility 1t is time that we republicans
should Danish the arbitrary lines Of caste. as ap
piled to the pursuits Of life, which arc derived
from leudal Europe.

It is said in the latest edition Of the Know Moth
ing platform, that distribution is necessary to
" supply the means Of saving the people from taxa
ton on account Of the load Of debt incurred by
Tennessee for the development Of her resources"
Let us test the justice of practical distribution BY
the logic of figures.
If the annual nett proceeds Of the land sales are
distributed according 70 federal Representatives,
lation Tennessee would receive less than $4,000
This is the full extent to which distribution could
20 in asaYing the people from taxation" As the
public laads are the common property Of all the
peope each citizen has exactly the same interest in
the fund derived from their sales. The man who is
worth million of dollars has no greater interest in
the fund than the man who is worth one hundred
dollars or one cent. 1t is proposed to take this
common fund and apply it to the liquidation Of a
debt incurred in developing the resources Of the
state What is the practical effect2
According to the ad valorsm system Of taxation
which prevails in Tennessee, revenue is raised in
proportion TO the amount Of taxable property owned
and protected. The man who has much pays much
-he who has little pays little. That is fair, just,
and equitable It follows that the debt Of the State
incurred in developing the resources" if paid by
taxation is distributed in proportion to the amount
Of taxable property owned by each citizen. The
man who owns much owes in proportion and pays
accordingly-the man who owns but little owes but
little and pays in proportion That's fair, just and
equitable Now, if Tennessee owes 100000 the
man who owns taxable property to the amount that
will yield $50 Of revenue, owes $50 Of that debt
The man who owns taxable property that will yield
81, owes 81 of that debt Ii We take the 100000
derived from the lands in which the man whose tax
able property yields $50 has exactly the same in
terest as he whose taxable property yields ST. and
pay off hedebo of the former which is $50 and Of the
latter which is ST. we relieve the one fifty times as
| much from taxation as tho other. In other words,
the rich man gets fifty times as much benefit from
the distribution the poor manor, to speak more
directly to the point, we take the money that be.
lOnged to the poor and pay with it the debt Of
the rich man. Therefore, distribution makes the rich
richer, and the poor poorer.
