The County yan Tax.
AT HOME, March IA, 1871


Editor Of Hickman Courier:
DEAR SIR:-I noticed in your issue
of the 4th inst, that there had been a
petition sent from this county to our
representative in the State Legislature,
asking that the County Court be grant
ed the power to levy aud collect tax of
ten cents on the one hundred dollars of
taxable property in this county listed for
taxation this year, in addition to the or
dinary State taxes, and also an addition
al tax OF one dollar on each poll listed
this year. The proceeds of the tax when
collected to be used to repair the old, or
to build new Jail, for the county. |
see in the paper of the l 1th inst, that
bill granting TO the Court the power ask
ed, had been introduced into the Legis-
lature, passed both houses, and is now a
law. Now, wish to make a few re-
marks, Gf you will permit iD in refer
ence to this extra power granted to the
County Court I would like to know
who got up and sent the petition, and
how many of the tax payers of the county
ever heard of it before seeing it men
toned III the CoURIER2 [ think it would
have been hard to get majority of the
tax payers in the county to sign such a
petition at this time and / hold that it
is altogether proper, that they should, at
least have had notice of the getting up
of and sending of petition to tax them,
before it was done. L know and respect
the members of our County Court, they
as individuals and as body of magis-
trates will compare favorably with any
county court in this State, but L am not
willing to give the right to any body OF
men to tax me without my consent, prop
erly obtained If il is thought necessa-
~ to have special tax imposed on the
county, why not submit 1t to a vote OF
the tax payers, and let them decide,
whether or not it is right and proper ?
The thing can be done in May next-full
time if it should receive the sanction OF
the people for the tax to be levied and
collected this year. If it should not re
ceive a majority OF the votes of the
county, dispense with it. For myself, |
am opposed to all special taxation, more
particularly, when they are imposed IN
the manner that the special tax of fifteen
cents on the hundred dollars was levied
aud the one now proposed. These things
are progressive-they never recede-
there never will cease to be special OBJ
jects to be gained by special taxation.
when the tax can be levied and collected
without the consent of the tax payers,
| think it may be safely asserted that if
the tax now proposed is levied and col
lected as proposed, that it will not be
more than two years before there will be
another effort made to levy and collect
another in the same manner Then why
not submit it to the people of the coun
ty, aud if it is sustained by them, there
is nothing more to be said. 1t is the
proper way, aud the only proper way in
which any tax should be imposed. This
communication has grown lengthy, and |
must close, but there are many things
that might be considered in connection
with this subject, that | think are of in
terest to the people of the county.
Yours, r. G.. PRATHER.

Grant and Mancock.

A spicy correspondence between Gen
eral Hancock, General Sherman, and
General Grant has been published, in
which the character of Hancock stands
out 10 bold relief as the statesman and
the soldier. We presume that of all the
generals OF the army Hancock's record
is the brightest. The publication of this
correspondence reveals General Hancock
as the true soldier and gentleman, and
will not rebound to the credit of those
who are prosecuting him. The people of
the United States never yet failed to win
dicate the character of faithful public
servant against all odds, however great,
in conspiracy against him.

The Radicals Fishing aboat for
Another Standard-Rearer


The removal Of Sumner fromthe Chair
manship of the Committee on Foreign
Relations continues the exciting topi C of
all political circles. Its probable effect
upon the future of the Republican party
and the denomination of Grant is freely
discussed. All Republicans, except a
few of Summers personal enemies in the
Senate, agree that the occurrence is very
damaging to the party and may prove
disastrous. 1t was gross political blum
der. The Democrats are highly elated
about the affair. The denomination of
Grant is inevitable, because there is no
man of sufficient strength to oppose him;
but defeat will necessarily follow the dis
sension of the Republicans. But many
leading Republicans assert that Grants
denomination is now out of the question.
1t is necessary to begin to look about for
a more available candidate if the party is
to be saved from defeat. The entire body
of the New England Republicans will be
hostile to him on account of Summers
removal, which has alienated also all the
original, anti slavery men throughout the
country. who always formed an active
working element of the Republican, par
ty. There is already much canvassing
relative to the merits and popularity of
many prominent Republicans in connec
ton with their possible candidacy for the
Republican nomination. Among others,
the names of Colfax, Sumner, Blaine,
Logan, Schenck and Cox are chiefly men
toned

Confiscntion Plnxea out.

Confscation is played out. The Z. s
Supreme Court says it won't do. Rebels
are decided by that great body to have
some rights. Proceedings we're COM
menced in the U. S. Circuit Court of Vir-
ginia to confscate the property of per
son, who subsequently, appeared by coun-
sci and filed an answer. On motion of
the .. s. District Attorney the answer
and claim of the defendant were stricken
off the record, on the ground that be was
residing within the Confederate lines,
and was rebel having no standing in
Court. The U. S. Supreme Court were
unsnimous in holding that this course
was erroneous, and that the defendant
when assailed in Court had right to
defend himself there.

Common pleas Court.

The Court of Common Pleas has been
abolished in all the counties of this Dis
trict, except McCracken aud Ballard
The people of Hickman and Graves arc
already complaining, and it is said the in
creasing litigation will certainly demand
its re establishment in Fulton The
extra expense of this court after all is
not SO much, when it is considered the
terms of the Circuit Court are heightened,
aud the Judge receives the same salary
for presiding in two counties that he did
in the whole district.

Geo. W- SiIrerinofh.

We understand that letters have been
received at Clinton from Col Geoge w
Silvertooth, that the ''old war horse as
he was dubbed in old times, will be upon
the track this canvass for reelection to
the Legislature. Col Silvertooth has
been identified, more or less conspicuous
ly, with all the measures of the past
term, and his record, to great extent
will make up the issues of the present
canvass We presume he will be at
Clinton. Monday.

The question whether Congress has
the right to charter railroad through
Kentucky" is to be decided at Thorn
aston, Upson county. Georgia. The
Literary Society at that place have chal-
lenged the Griffin Debating Society to
discussion of this question, which chal-
lenge has been accepted, and the fight
comes off on the oath inst. The Grifi-
mites advocate the right, the Thomasto-
mans deny it We hope Congress will
embrace the earliest opportunity to keep
itself informed as to the result of this
debate.

article under the above caption. 1t is a
style of composition, which, however
worthy, our rules exclude. We desire

in which our section is interested or by
which our people are to be benefited

not give space to articles, however merit

Much speculation, and difference Of
opinions, exist as to the chances of the
several sspiranss for the Democratic
potniuation for Governor. If we are not
mistaken the following table exhibits the
present status of the different candidates,
so far as the counties have made any
regular expression
leslie has received the nomination of
Clinton. Monroe. Barren, Russell, Allen,
Simpson. Hart, Logan, Metcaif, Green
and Adair-11.
Brown has received Eve counties, Hen
derson,s Webster, Hancock, Breckin
ridge, and Christian.
Thomas L. Jones has received seven
counties in Northern Kentucky, so we
see repoted.
John @. A King has received the
instruction OF 2 counties. Cumberland
Clay. Greenup, Terry, Fulton, Hickman,
Ballard. Graves, McCracken, Todd,
Woodford. and Harlan. In addition,
1t is considered positive that since
Machenis not a candidate that King
xiii carry Marshall, Livingston, and
Galloway, Trigg, Lyon, Caldwell, Crit
tsnden and Murray. thus making 20
counties
Ex Gov Msgofin, and several other
distinguished gentlemen, have been in
struc'ed for in one or two counties each.
This leaves fully one half of the coun
ties in the State without instructions,
or not heard from. The seven counties
insiructing for Jones, it is understood
will support either of the other aspirants
in preference TO Leslie.
Ex Senator McCreery, though not
candidate. may be prominently before
ths Convention.
