A slander Exposed.

As rapidly as one SANDER on the people
of the South is exposed and refuted,
swarm Of others take its place The Jaeo-
bins. who have no capital save hatred of
this section, manufacture zcaumnies with
tie facility that oak balls produce gnats, or
stagnant water mosquitoes. The fecundi-
~ of their creative genius. is equaIed only
by the rapidly with which they destroy
all that is venerable for its antiquity or hon
ored for its glorious associations. Toads
are said to feed on vapors, but our Jacobins
subsist on SANDER And we have nota-
bic one, and a malicious one 10 a document
Of recent date which ascribes to the South
an undue proportion Of mulattoes. This
assertion is made the basis of howl of
disgust and a moral lecture. The truth is,
that in the Northern States the ratio Of mu-
lattoes to one hundred negroes, is greater
than in the Southern States, as the follow
ing figures taken from the census Of 1860,
will prove:

Stock Raising.

DEAR CITIZEN IL see you promise to
devote more time and space in the future to
try and induce the people of Giles to grow
Fine Stock, Grasses, ETC., and less Cotton,
I am truly glad you have made the promise.
Yentilate-we want more light. presume
nine tenths Of those who planted cotton ex-
tensively have been loosers by it, and what
little was left (after paying enormous taxes,
etc, has to be paid out for corn, hay
stock, etc. These things ought not SO to
be-there is no section that grows them to
fuller .perfeetion-we certainly ought to
raise enough for home consumption and to
supply our mechanics, merchants and pro-
fessional men, and then what cotton we can,
until we can mature some stock for SALE
Ours oughtto be a stock and manufacturing
country, we have the advantages of soil, eli
mate, close approximity to Southern mar
kets-have to feed two months less during
the winter than the Northwestern States.
The Blue Grass regions of Kentucky are
half century ahead of US. know great
many farms of 500 acres that only had for
ty to so acres in corn-hence they re-
quired but few laborers-haye grown rich
handling stock exclusively, and their lands
are more productive to-day than they were
fifty years ago.
If we persist in running ours in cotton,
what will they be fifty years hence won't
sprout black-eyed'p eve know the right,
yet the wrong Persue." 1 am sure that
the kentucky stockmen are to-day making
Eve dollars to the cotton planters one. 1
speak advisedly. Good stock always has
and always will pay, handle no more than
you can properly care for, and let that be
of the best There is no excuse for most
of the citizens of Giles raising the inferior
'Mongrel horse, almost. every portion of
the county has access to a good one,
-(would that there where none but good
ones and they all over the county, and
am proud to say that the owners of fne
stock show commendable zeal 10 putting
the services of their horses at so low a
figure. Only think Of it dob Johnson at
S25 90; his half brother at $500 90
Kentucky at $3.50 90 the trotting horse
Hambletonian at $500 90; old Columbus
(just as good) ats2o 90. - and so on to the
end Of the chapter. Some Of you who are
tired of cotton, come up and buy a good
home in our fine Cornersville country. We
have A No. / lands, good citizens, church
es, an excelleat, live, fourishing Female
School, in charge of that thorough scholar,
Prof. Mooney. We hope ere longto build
College for our boys, and veto scrub men
and MoOgrel stock. Be sure to SOW more
grasses-have meadow by all means
Improve our homes. Let the South grow
cotton, and we sell them all their fine
stock, etc. Truly,
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1867-03-01

Proceedings of the Supreme Court

EfoceeG1ngS OF the supreme court.
In the Supreme Court, at Nashville on
the Goth inst, in the case of P. L. Nichol,
clerk, vs., Furmau, Green & Co., Judge
Mlligan presiding, the question was IRE
scented whether or not clerks or other Off
GERS should take the issues of the Bank of
Tennessee in payment of State trxes. The
Court decided hat there was no existing
contract between the State and the holder of
note of the Bank of Tennessee illegally
issued, or that came in the possession of
the holder since the repeal Of the 9th see-v
ton of the charter, in 1865 And the Pc
titioners in this case did not show that the
notes they rendered to the clerk, in payment
of their taxes as wholesale merchants, were
the legal issues of the Bank, or that they
were the bona fde holders of them before
1865, when the section of the charter re-
feEred to was repealed. Upon these
grounds the Court reversed the judgment
of the Circuit Court and dismissed the Pc
tition. Whether the holder of the notes
before the repeal Of the 18th section, in
1865, could force the Clerk to take them in
payment of State revenue or not, is one
among.Other questions in this case, upon
which the Court declined to express a.
opinion.
