special Meeting of County Court.

Judge Glenn calls upon the Magistrate
Of Davidson county to meet to-day in
special term. Not quite certain that We
correctly understood the object of this
called session of the County Court, we may

airy term of said court, the General Assem-
bly, having since that time reconsidered Its
action and amended the legislation then
had in regard to the State tax. Taxpay-
ers are easily interested in matters touch
ing that branch of pecuniary interest, and
will, Of course, look with considerable in
terest for the result of deliberations by the
special term of the County Court.
