A Source of Revenue that Would be
Popular.

EVpu1aI.
The Roman CensOrs frequently imposed
taxes on unmarried men, aud men of full
age were obliged by law to marry unless
mentally or physically disqualified. The
Spartan women, at certain games, laid hold
of all the old bachelors they could get their
hands on, and infioting on them every
mark of infamy and disgrace, dragging
them around their altars and handling them
very roughly. In 1895. the English Par
Lament laid a tax on bachelors over TWEEN
ty FIVE years of age of EI2 aud ten shillings
for duke, which was graduated down 10
one shilling for the common man. Uncle
Sam has been very lenient to his unmarried
nephews at all times, but he might do a
good thing for the heavy war debt by lay
ing revenue and ad capituna tax on them
just now. AS this is leap year, if the la
dies use their privilege, old maids and
bachelors who are not already hardened
and inveterate cases. will not have even the
ghost of an excuse for continuing in the
state of 'single blessedness.'

'Tis the midnight hour of awful gloom
Dark rolls the fearful cloud,
And warriors leave their battle tomb,
Arrayed in soldiers shrOud.
With solemn tread they form in line
That lone and dead Brigade,
Their banners from each staff untwIne-
Unsheathes each battle blade.
The drum it rolls loud tattoo
The fife's shril1 note is heard,
The pale, dead host in grand review,
Obey great Jacksons word.
Now right, now left, they flank and file,
As on that awful day,
Their TshOut-StOnewall-O native soil
Forever live the gray.
Their ghostly Chief with voice and mien
Of more than kingly state,
To the front he rides mid warriors sheeny
As if to learn his fate.
lie pauses now, as on that eve,
lie stood before the foe
While Time and Death their glory weave,
Pure as the stainless snow
But once again tho drum doth beat,
And echoes through the gloom
The dead Brigade with spirit-feet,
Return unto the tomb.
Their Chieftain's face with glory beams,
AS points his sword on high
Each warriors eye immortal CLEANS
Like him, they cannot die

The McMinnville Enterprise. which is
not sufficiently enterprising enterprise to
exist upon its own merit, unaided by the
State patronage. justifes the designation of
Radical newspapers to receive the legal Rd-
vertising, upon the ground that the law
makers have the right to designate news
papers that shall receive such patronage.
Nevertheless it is the right of might only.
and it is nothing less than wholesale piracy
to so appropriate the money of the people.
If there was common decency in the afoFe-
said lawmakers s, and common honesty in
the laws they frame, the advertisements in
question, which ought to reach the largest
audiences, should be printed in the jour
mails which enjoy the largest circulation, re-
gardless of politics. The uppsrmOst idea
in the Radical mind, always has been the
public ''pap." The public desire to have
the legal notices printed in those papers
which they can and do recsiVe into their
houses-not with the desire 10 have their
favorite journals receive the patronage
merely, but for their own convenience and
accommodation. The Radical papers des-
ignated do not circulate among the people
They have comparatively no circulation al
all in communities where legal notices
should be distributed.

Some one whose head is usually ''leVel, ,"
has written out his ideas of religion as fol-
lows. It will do to read aud think about !:
We want a religion shat goes into the
family, that keeps the husband from being
spiteful when the dinner is late; keeps the
wife from being spiteful when the husband
tracks the newly washed floor with his
muddy boots, and makes the husband mind
full Of the scraper and the door mat amuses
the children as well as governs them pro-
jects the honeymoon into the harvest moon,
and makes the happy hours like the eastern
fig tree, bearing in its bosom at once the
beauty of the tender blossom and the glory
of the ripened fruit. We want a religion
that not only bears on the sinfulness Of sin
but on the rascality of lying and stealing !;
a religion that banishes all small measures
from the counters, small baskets from the
stalls, pebbles from cotton bags, clay from
paper, sand from sugar, cPicory from cof-
fee, beer-root from vinegar, alum from
bread, lard from butter, strychnine from
wine, and water from milk-cans. The re-
| ligion that is to advance the world will not
put all the big strawberries and peaches on
top, and all the bad ones at the bottom. It
will not offer more baskets of foreign wine
than the vineyards ever produced bottles.
The religion that is TO sanetify the world,
pays its debts. It does not consider forty
cents returned for one hundred given, ac-
cording to Gospel, though it is according
to law. It looks upon the man who fails in
trade, aud who continues to live in luxury.
as thief. It looks upon man who pro-
misss to pay and who fails 10 pay it on de.
mand, with or without interest, as liar.

Resistance to Oppressive Taxation.

@eSS~SS~-@ANS %NH<AesSASA-s
The Franklin Review Justly complains at
the onerous taxes imposed upon the people
of this State. That paper says:
Each and every citizen of the county
has to pay tax of at least two per cent. up
on the yalue of his property. Il has al
ways been considered good farming in this
section of the country when the farmer re-
alizes three per cent. upon his capital
Now, two per cent. goes to pay taxes. and
the poor farmer is allowed to retain one
per cent. for himself. For example, a far
rer owns land and other property worth
$4,000; at three per cent. he will realize
$500, out of which be must pay $1,000 in
taxes. In town it is even worse. The me-
ehanics after paying this two per cent. tax
upon property must pay various special
taxes. Truly there never was
people so oppressed by taxation as are the
people of Tennessee. Our last tax Law was
passed by Radicals, and we would venture
something handsome that the Radicals, as
numerous ard powerful as they are in the
State, do not pay Oue-tenth of the tax of the
whole State"
These be grievous burdens that our Rad
ical rulers have imposed upon this people,
and the Review estimates that the Radicals
in this State do not pay one-tenth of the
taxes, is no doubt correct. It was in view
of this fact that the governing class pay so
small portion of the enormous amount
necessary to carry on the State government
that we suggested some weeks ago that the
people should pay these iniquitous sxac-
tions only at the eud Of the law, since the
great body of them were deprived of any
part or voice in the direction Of affairs.-
The men who pay the largest portion OF
the taxes are disfranchised, yet they are
made to bear the burdens of the govern
ment the same as If they participated ac-
| lively in enacting our laws and electing Of
| fcers TO execute them. The men who are
deprived of these rights BY an arbitrary sx-
ercise of power should refuse to pay the
heavy taxes imposed upon them. Resis-
tance 10 usurpation must commence some
where. It is true, the Radicals have c 0n-
troll of the Judiciary of the State, but let
the people appeal 10 the courts for redress
of their wrongs, and force the Judges to
take cOgnizance of the matter or show that
they have no regard for law. II this poll
cy Should be pursued by this oppressed
people, they will finally triumph, for there
are some Judges who would hesitate TO rem
der thier names Infamous through al time
to come. 1t was thought that Chief JUS
tice Chase, whose political affiliations are
= strongly marked, would favor the Radicals
in the impeachment trial, but, so far, be
has stood up for the law and the right, not
withstanding this course has brought much
obloquy upon him from his own party
+ He could not afford to sacrifice himself to
party behests. and thus render his name
Infamous in hetOry. Let the oppressed
people of Tennessee take courage from this
incident and strike for their sights.
