TAXES AND THE STATE CREDIT


Do the people of Tennessee realize the
legacy the late Radical Legislature has left
them in the shape of taxes? IL they do
not, the tax-gatherer will soon teach them
lesson upon this subject they would rather
not learn. Col. s. K. n. Patton, the Radi
cal Representative from Washington coun-
ty in the late Legislature, stated a few
weeks ago, in circular to his constituents,
that while the tax on property and polls in
1860 amounted to $4,000, the tax to be
collected from the same sources the present
year would amount to 81 ,524 ,000 or nearly
FIVE times greater than the people had to
pay in 1860 This statement has not been
denied, and it is, therefore, safe to assume
that it is correct The Governors own
paper-the Knoxville Whig-contains cor
roborative evidence of its correctness. In
its issue of the 18th inst, that paper says:
"Since the passage Of the second school
law by the Legislature, the rates Of State
and county tax in Knox county, for the
year 1867, will be one dollar and twenty
eight cents on each hundred dollars of
taxable property, and two dollars and fifty
cents on each poll"
The people grumbled in 1860 that the
taxes were oppressiVely high. Now they
are called upon to pay State and county
tax amounting to five times that they paid
in 1860, and in addition to that they have a
heavy government tax to pay. And the
heavy State and county tax which they
have to pay this year is the price Of Radi-
cal rule. 1t is costly luxury. Never
have the people of Tennessee been so OPP.
pressively burdened with taxes. The ex-
traordinary extravaganza Of the present
State government has demanded the impo-
sition of these enormous taxes, and to-day
thetreasury of the State is in most straitened
condition, with demand after demand
pressing like cormorants upon the financial
officers of the State for satisfaction. We
tell the people of Tennessee that they have
no idea of the financial condition of their
State. A heavy amount of interest will
accrue on the lst Of July, and it is no secret
that the financial officers of the State
are puzzled AZ to where this money is
to come from. 1t may be fortunate for the
credit of the State that the election occurs
after the July interest has been met, as the
Radicals will make extraordinary ex-
ertions 10 raise the money for this
purpose in the hope of saving their
party from disgraceful defeat, an event
they are satisfied would surely follow
failure to pay that interest. The money
will have to be borrowed, because the reve
nue. has been so closely collected up as to
leave but little to hope for from that
source. 1t will take from $4,000 to
$5OO,0O0-perhaps much nearer the latter
than the former-to carry the State safely
over the first of July, and there is an
empty treasury to start with. Can the
people of Tennessee be wheedled into con-
tinuing in power party who have thus
run their State SO nearly into the whirlpool
of bankruptcy?

THE County Court Clerk has received
instructions from the state authorities to
require the negroes to pay poll-tax.-
Fayetteville Observer, April Is.
Similar instructions have been issued to
every County Court Clerk in the State.
The Knoxville Wing says the poll tax in
that county will be two dollars and fifty
cents, and il will be about the same in the
other counties, while those who own pro-
perty twill have to pay over that, so the
negroes will see they have to contribute
quite literally toward sustaining an ex-
travagant State government. We shall not
be surprised if these heavy taxes upon
them in the outset of their citizenship,
operate somewhat after the manner Of the
case reported by the Galveston Neirs. That
paper says:
A smart negro was asked, a few days ago,
what he thought of the cotton tax: It's
unconstitutional, sar, and anuder tax is
more unconstitutional, sar; de whisky tax,
sar; used to get gallon for two bits, sar,
and has now togive two dollars, on account
of dem Northern taxes. Pse gwine to help
blow EN- up, sar; is y
The negro will no doubt feel very much
like blowing up" the Radicals by
the time the tax-gatherer takes him
through the flint mill"

We learned late on yesterday evening
that Mr.. Etheridge opened the canvass for
Governor at Dresden on Wednesday, in a
Enthusiastically vigorous and forcibIe
speech. The rumor prevailed, also, that
il had thrown the commissioner Of registra-
ton for Weakley county into CONSERVATION,
and that he had telegraphed to the capitol
for instructions and assistance We have
no doubt, that if the commissioner heard
the speech, and he be a true Radical
henchman, he was told many unsavory
things but have no idea that anything
was said or done to justify the calling out
of the loyal militia. Anything, how.
ever, will be made pretext for that

THE Press and Times need give itself no
trouble to publish and comment upon Mr..
Etheridge's record, either before, during, or
since the war. As in the military commits
sion of 1865, he is in the habit Of confessing
in open court under his own signature all
charges and specifications. He will take
his record in his hand, and stand before
the people on every stump in the State.
He win avow it, and proclaim it in all its
length and breadth. The Radicals have
got to deal with man for whom "old
documents have no terror. They will
hear enough of his record before the sum-
mer is over, and need not be in no hurry

THE speech of Col w. B. Stokes on
Thursday night was a characteristic Radi-

substance Of the speech he intends to make

candidate for Congress. We trust the
Conservatives Of that district will nominate
that tried soldier and gentleman Col. A. f..

think he will give him something else TO

fscaiion and further persecution of the

while the offerings were light the demand
was limited, and upon the whole, prices have

continues exceedingly dull and can only be
sold at exceedingly low prices, while prime
tat cattle, in consequence ofa scarcity, were

but this can hardly be taken as fate criterion
of the market as the drove referred to was
much better in quality than those generally
