made to our local officers I am inclined to
believe this amount TOO large. There is
oftentimes wide difference between
returns which may simply attest ones
enterprise and financial ability, and those
made as basis Of taxation.
The special revenue commission made an
exhaustive examination of this subject last
year. prosecuting their inquiries through
all avenues of Information, and after
making due allowance for the entire disuse
Of burning fluid and the employment of
substitutes in yarnish, vinegar, medicine,
and generally in manufactures and phar-
macy, in concluding its report, says
After careful consideration of the facts
above presented, and after conference with
many Of the principal dealers and manu-
facturers from all sections of the country,
the commission are Of the opinion that,
with the maintenance OF the present tax OF
two dollars per gallon, the quantity Of dis
titled spirits which may be expected to be
produced and rendered subject to ASSESS
ment for the immediate future will be
from forty-two to forty-Rve million Of gall
Ions. s.-.-f. -,--... -
In arriving at this conclusion in their
report the commission does not refer 10 the
amount of stock on hand and it is quite
impracticable TO determine how much of
the consumption of the past year was of
that which had paid the tax of years prece-
ding, or was manufactured before any was
imposed, as it is, Of course, to know how
much reached the market through fraud.

He took it home, and there ascertained

meal and salt enclosed within. The frauds

The oad Fellows HaIl Association.

Under an act of the General Assembly
Of Tennessee of January 30th, 1867, this
association was made corporate body. A
few days since it was formally organized as
follows: E. D. Farnsworth, Deputy Grand
Sire of the United States, President; Chas.
Kircher, Vice President; David C. Love,
Secretary; and John T, Hide, Treasurer.
We learn that the Association has con.
cluded the terms of purchase Of the eligi-
bic property on the corner of Church and
High streets, opposite Christ Church, and
purpose to erect thereon an Odd Fellows
Hall. The building will be of ample d.
mansions, comprising three stories-the
frst for business parposes, the second a hall
for public uses, and the third for Lodge
and Encampment rooms. This enterprise
is under the patronage of the Order in this
city, and in the hands of spirited and
competent members. The building will
doubtless be an ornament TO the city, and
q credit to the noble fraternity.
The Order of Odd Fellowship ia the
United States is an institution prospecting
and destined TO prosper. 1t is in accord

but that taught in the sublime principles
Of the Order. The organization in Ten

alike to the Order, and to the men who,
under the circumstances, bore the ark of
its eovensht through the storm. Their
efforts to erect and equipa ut hall FOR the

will doubtless elicit the encouragement
