OUTRAGE AT ATHENS, ALABAMA.

Some dastardly, cowardly fellow

scarcity just now in Athens, made a

tute, on Sunday night last, demOlish-

CONTROLLERS OFFIcE.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. q, 1899.
Hon. JNo. L. SNEED, Attorney Gen:
Dear Sir / have been asked for
a construction of section 563 Of the
Code. sub-sec. 3. That section makes
slaves taxable in the county where
the owner resides. Does it mean
when the owner resides in one coun-
~, and has a plantation or iron works,
or other employment for bis negroes
in another county, that they shall be
taxed in the county where he resides?
The evil complained of, and iuten-
ded to be remedied by ihe act Of
1856, chap. "a, sec. so, which the
Code substantially copies, was, that
negroes were often hired in the coun-
! ties where the owner did not live,
and the tax upon them evaded alto
gether. If an Interpretation of the
law in accordance with the supposed
intention Of the Legislature, be not
allowed. but a literal construction
must be given, great injustice will be
done to the counties where the ne
groes reside and are protected, and
on account Of whom, such counties of.
ten incur expenses, by deprivine
them of their taxes aud giving them
to other counties, in whose limits
the negroes have, perhaps,neyer been
You will also perceive the great in
convenience of making assessment
of property which cannot be seeu mol
valued by the assessor, except upor
the statement of the owner.
Will you do me the honor to an
swer as promptly as convenient as
may wish to publish your construc
ton for the benefit of Tax Assessors
Respectfully, your obedieDt servant

Reply Of the Attorney General.
NASHVILLE. Jan. 20. 1859.

Hon. J. Z. DUNLAP, Comptroller:
Dear ,&r:--Your nste ofthe goth
inst, submitting the question wheth-
er, under the revenue laws Of this
State, the slaves of a citizen Of this
State, kept upon plantation, or any
other employment in county in
this State, other than that of the
owners residence, are to be assessed
for taxation in the county Of the own
er's residence, or in that in which said
slaves are so kept and employed, and
desiring for some definite instructions
upon the subject for the guidance of
assessors, has been received and con-
sidered.
The provision of the Code upon
this subject is as follows:
Slaves shall be assessed to the
owner in the county in which be re-
sides, whether in bis possession or
not, and whether in the same county
or not. If bred out in another, they
shall be assessed to the hirer for the
amount of the hire, and if the owner
lives in another State, Their they shall
be assessed to the hirer at the value"
This is also substantially, the pro-
visions Of the act Of 1856, Oh. IA,
and as will be observed, authorizes
an assessment upon this species of
property on a principle somewhat va
rant from The general, if not the fun
damental law, upon the subject. The
tax is upon the value Of the slave,
and if hired in E different county from
that Of The owners residence, upon
the value of the slaves services also.
Whatever may. be said as to the poll
cy of this mode of assessment, |
think the language used, admits of
but one Interpretation, and that is.
that The slaves of a citizen of this
State, hired in county other than
that Of the owners residence. or kept
upon a plantation or otherwise, in a
county other than that of the own
er's residence, are to be assessed at
their value and taxed in the county
of the owners residence. In add.
ton, therefore, to the usual questions
propounded by the assessor, in taking
a list of taxable property, should be
the following:
l. Have you any taxable slav IS
hired, or otherwise employed in any
other county of this State? If so,
give the number and. value thereof.
2. Have you any hired slaves.
belonging to any citizen of this State
residing out Of this county? If SO,
state the amount you have contract
ed to pay for the hire.
8. Have you in possession, or Tn
der your control in this State, any
hired slave Belonging to a person OF
persons residing out of this State?
If so the assessor must estimate the
value himself, if practicable. upon
the inspection of the slaves, il not,
upon the best information to be had,
aud assess accordingly.
It will be observed, as indicated in
the foregoing interrogatories, that
the mode Of assessment pr,scribedis
somewhat variant from the genera

Murder and Plumber. :
JACKSON, TRIM, Feb.


Oar town was the scene Of cOnsid-
cradle excitement to-day upon the
discovery of the murdered body OF
Mr.. George Miller, clerk in the
Union Bank, who was murdered last
night about 9 or 10 clock, and the
Bank robbed of large amount Of
specie and paper. The heartless
william who perpetrated tAe deed is
at large, and no clue to the murderer
can be had.
From the position in which he
was found it is supposed he Was
making out a check for the murder.
er, when he was struck two blows
upon the head with the. check ham
mer, belonging to the Bank, weigh.
ing five or six pounds, which scat.
tered bis brains in every direction
killing him instantly. He then tore
the leaf from the check book, after
which be took what specie and paper
he could carry, and made good bi.
escape.
No person in particular is suspect
ed. but from the character of thu
deceased it is thought that it mus
be some one in high standing, ant
in whom he placed implicit conf
denee, as he has refused to do bust
ness for some of the most inauen
tial citizens after banking hours.
| The extent of the robbery is mo-
known. Mr.. Mcknight, thu Cash
Ter, returned from Memphis this even
ing, and will ascertain tomorrow hos
much has been stolen.
