THRILLING SCENE IN A CEURCH.-At the Madi-
line, in Paris, on Christmas Eve, the well known
Able Bautain preached in the evening, and as he
is one of the most eloquent pulpit oritOrs, as
well as one Ct the most learned theolOgiaus in
France, very large congregation assembled TO
hear him. Ascending the pulpit, he gave forth no
text, but after pause cried in sOnorOus voice,
"A Saviour is born unto US" He then repeated the
cry. and then said: My brethren, why do You not
receive the glad tidings with an Hallelujah ?"
ThereupOn the whole congregation stood up and
cried Hallelujah! After which he proceeded to
deliver his sermon

The Mobile Tribune relates that gentleman,
long a resident of the South, but now citizen Of
Philadelphia was induced, while he resided South,
to purchase an old negro woman, who was so much
attached to him that she would not leave him,
even at the urgent solicitations of the agents of the
underground railroad. On one occasion after being
much imporiuned to leave her master and go to
Canado, she is reported to have addressed them TO
the effect that, if they would give her $1,000 in
cash, aud handsome white husband she would go.
They excused her.

REPLY OF THE Af1UhSkh uENEhAA.
NASHVILLE, Jan 90, 1859
HoS. JAxRs 9. DUNLAP, Comptroller:
Dear SIR Your note of the PC instant,
submitting the question whether. under The revenue
laws Of this State, the slaves Of citizen of this
State, kept upon plantation, or in any other en-
ploymeut 10 county in this State, other than that
of the owners residence to be assessed for tax
alton in the county of the owners residence, or
in that in which said slaves are so kept and em>
ployed, and desiring for some definite Instructions
upon the subject for the guidance Of assessors,
has been received aud considered.
The provision of the Code upon Ills subject Is as
follows:
.'SIaves shall be assessed 70 the owner in the
c5unty in which he resides whether in his posses
sion or not, ami whether ia the same county
or not If hired out in another, they shall be
assessed the hirer for the amount of the hire and
if the owner lives in another State, then they shall
be assessed 10 the hircr at the val=e."
Thisis also substantially, the provision of the
act Of 1856, CHI -, and will be observed, au-
thorizes an assessment upon this species Of proper
ty on a principle somewhat variant from the gene>
ral if not, the fundamental law, upon the subject.
The is upon the value of the slave and if hired ia
different country frem thst of the owners iesi-
dence, upon the value of the slaves also.
Whatever may be said as TO the policy of this mode
Of assessment, Think the language used, admits Of
but one interpretations and that is that the slaves
of citizen Of this Stale, hired in a county other
than that Of the owners residence, or kept upon
plantation or otherwise, in county other than
that Of the owners residence sre to be assessed at
their value and taxed in the county of the owners
residence. In addition, therefore, to the usual
questions propounded by the assessor, in taking q
list of taxable property should be the following:
l. Have you any taxable slaves hired, or other
wise employed in any other county of this State!
If so, give the number and the value thereof.
2. Have you any hired slaves, belonging to any
citizen of this State residing out ofthis county? If
so, state the amount you have contracted TO pay
for the hire.
Have you in possession, under your con-
troll in this State, any hired slaves belonging to
spersOn or persons residing cut Of this Stste? If
so, the assessor must estimate the value himself if
practicable upon inspection of the slaves if not,
upon the best information to be had and assess se
sordingly.
1t will be observed, as indicated in the foregO
ing interrogstOries, that the mode of assessment
prescribed is somewhat variant from the general
principle of personal assessment by the assessor
himself. The purpose of the Legislature may have
been to Obviste the difficulty and delay in the col
lsc.ioa of the revenue from this source, which
might otherwise occur when the slaves were in one
county and the owners in another: but whatev-
the object and policy of the regulation the law
is thus Erittea, and We are not permitted to depart
from it. Respectfully,
JOHN L. T. SNEED.

Hon. JSo. L. T. sEEEp, Attorney General
Dear Sri have been asked for construction
of section 56s of the Code, sub-sec. 3. That Sec
ton makes slaves taxable in the county where the
owner resides. Does it mean when the owner re-
sides IN enc county, and has plantation or iron
works other employment for his negroes in anoth
er county, that they shall be taxed in the county
where he resides The evil complained Of, and in
tended TO be remedied By the act of 1885, chap "a.
sec 80, which the Code substantially copies, vas,
that negroes were often hired In counties where the
owners did not live aud the tax upon them evaded
altogether If an Interpretation Of the iaw in &C.
cordauce with the supposed intention Of the Legis
lsiure, be not allowed. but literal construction
mast be given, great injustice win be done to the
untes where the uegroesresde and are protect ed,
and on account Of whom, such counties often incur
expense, by dspriving them Of their taxes and Civ
ing them to other countless in whose limits the ne
grOes have, perhaps, never beea. You will also
perceive the great incouveniencs Of making assess
ment of property which cannot be seen or valued
By the assessor. except upon the statement Of the
owner.
win you 90 me the honor to answer promptly
as convenient as may wish to publish your eoasrne-
ton for the benefit Of Tax Assessors.
Respectfully, your Obedient servant,
]. T. DUNLAP.
