10 the Editor Of the Ledger
The impression in reference to the ex-
istense Of the office Of Tax Collector on
Privileges is erroneous; there is no such
office in existence under the Law. The
Legislature in 1868 passed an act taking
from the County Court Clerk the right to
collect the tax on privileges, which was
TO take efsect on the 4th day of March,
1870, and establishing the Office Of Tax
Collector on Privileges. Subsequently,
on the 18th day of January, 1870, the
Legislature passed an act making it the
dniy Of the County Court Clerk to collect
all taxes GA privileges In consequence
of the passage Of the act Of January, the

pIrELIC MEETINGS.

It is urged by some Of our friends to
hold public meetings and protest against
the probable interference, by Congress-
with the local government of this State
We would not oppose such measure, as
il would result in no harm, at any rate.
But the feeling of dreadful apprehension
on the part of a great many, that we
must soon be placed under the bayonet
again, is, in a great degree, unnecessary
and uncalled for by the developments
already made.
Ii is true the condition of Tennessee is
n subject of investigation by the Recon
s,ruction Committee of Congress-stlll
no bill has been prepared; and, to usethe
words of Butler: II have not yet placed
pen to pape. in preparing such meas

unfinished the outlines of sucha proposed

from what had been talked Of in Wash

he OWNED at this distance Of time, but
whatever may be agreed TO, the protest
of our people would have little or no
effect with the committee in making up
their report. In fact, 1t would be con-
sidered an evidence of Our guilt with
such as Putler and others OF his Sai

the State anew. As 10 what should be
uttered in onrpublic meetings, a conssits
Zee of Congress would be inclined to view
such with many grains of allowance and
want of eredulity. They would say at
once that it was Democratic lies told to
screen the outrages committed on che
saints of the Radical party, and we
would have gaised nothing but lost a
great deal Of selfrespeet by getting on
our knees to any impiaeable enemy who
delights in humiliating the pride " our
noble people. The citizens Of this State,
under the ordeal TO which il IS proposed
10 subject them, should pursue, as they
have in the past, = dignified and quiet
course, and prefer political death
rather than reimbursement. We are
not dealing with an honorable

party. for it is intent on one thing only

WAsHIGd4oy, March ls.-Secretary
Boutwell, was in conference with the Com.
mittee on Ways and Means to-day for
two hours concerning the funding bill
He explained to the Committee very fully
his reason for desiring prompt action on
the measure, and said it was his belief
that the debt could be funded in the three
series proposed in the bill, 70 prsfersd
the bill as il was originally reported by
the Finance Committee, which allowed
the interest to be paid ABROAD, and if the
Committee deemed it advisable to restore
that clause he had no objection, but he
was afraid the Senate would not yield
that point
1t is understood that the Committee
will restore that feature, and also one al
lowing one per cent. to negotiate the
loan. 1t is likely that the Committee
gill make other amendments, not how
ever, of very material character. 1t
