Of this act" II therefore, by Its terms
imposes license or privilege tax upol
Wholesale dealers in liquors. II is ad
mitted that this license tax and the one
provided for by the act of March LIST
1869, cannot both stand, for this woulC
be to levy double tax upon the sam,
privilege. Which, then, must give way
:" If two inconsistent acts are passed a
different times, the last is to be obeyed
and if obedience cannot be observed
without derogating from the FIRST It il
the first which must give way.
From these premises the conclusion
inevitably follows that the act Of Jan.
uary, 1870, repeats the act of March,
1869, so far as this class Of privileges is
concerned, unless the clause in section
second Of the former act which declares
that the provisions of said act shall In
no wise affect the collection Of privilege
taxes upon the avocations declared by
section $50 of the Code, to be privileges,
etc., prevents its having this effect.
That section Of the Code does not in
clude the business of selling liquors by
wholesale. To make it include this avo-
cation it is necessary to assume that the
Legislature, in designating that section
of the Code, intended to include all sub
sequent legislation upon the same sub
ject. This appears to me to be strained
and unnatural conclusion. 1t is also
contrary TO what seems to be the general
scope and purview Of the act, which
was apparently to make taxation equal
and uniform, and to make 1t bear at
least some approximate relation TO the
amount of capital invested.
While freely concede that where the
Legislature has clearly expressed its
intention, and thatintention does not con-
Aict with the paramount law, that it is the
duty of the courts to carry out that IN
tention, l do not deem it the duty of the
court to strain the language of the law
so as to make it support a system Of
taxation which is unequal and unjust IN
its operation. The construction here
given, which / think amply sustained by
reason and authority, protects the Gov
eminent in the collection of a just and
equitable taxation, so far as any taxation
discriminating between different legiti-
mate avocations is just and equitable,
and prevents the hardships of small
dealer paying the same tax for the exer-
else of his avocation as that required OF
one doing ten, or it may be twenty, times
the business, and realizing proportion
ally greater profit.

Greeting:
XXTHEREAS, IT HAS BEEN MADE
wv known to me, that certain parties in
disguise. charged with having committed n
foul and atrocious murder, on the 2sd day of
April. 1871, upon the bodies of Jake Turner
and Henry Gardner (coored). late of our
county of Weakley have fed from justice, and
are now running at large.
Now, therefore, l, d. W. G. Senter, Gov
ernor rs aforesaid by virtue OF the power and
authority in me vested, do hereby offer a re-
ward Of $500 FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
each. upon conviction, to any person or per-
sons who may apprehend the said parties, or
either of them, and deliver him or them TO the
Sheriff or Jailer Of our county of Weakley. in
order that justice in that behalf may be had
and executed.
In testimony whereof. have hereunto set
my hand and caused the great seal of

AN ExrRAoRDINARY MURDERER.

Ruloff. the murderer who was hung at
R;ngbampton last week, seems to have
been n most wonderful man. He was
familiar with all the European Ian
guages, and his learning seems to have
given him greater scope for villainy
without in the least elevating or render
ing more acute his moral perceptions.
A purely self-made man, never having
entered the door of college or univer-
sity, and yet by his innate gifts has
made himself such colossus in learn
ing that the ablest of our scholars are
but pigmies in his presence. By the
evidence Of Professor Mather and others
who went to see him, this man was as
familiar with the broad domain of phi
lology as common people are with the
passing events of the day. His memo
ry seemed so wonderful that he could
quote sentence after sentence and chap
ter after chapter from knotty ancient
literature which ordinary scholars knew
but little about. But his memory seemed
the least of his great endowments, for
by the testimony of gentlemen who ex-
amined him, he was able to critically
analyse the works of the old masters of
literature, and as able to point out their
beauties as to detect their defects. What
miracles this murderer might have
wrought, and what luster he might bave
shed upon his country had he not for
feited his life so foolishly. In the in
terests of science it was desired by some
that this mans life should have been
spared and various efforts for pardon were
made to the Governor, but without avail.
His life, so far as light has been thrown
upon it, would furnish material for
dozen novelso of the Eugene Aram stamp
1t is melancholy to think that one whom
nature evidently gave such high capa-
bilities, and which have been improved
both by time and study, should have led
such life and come 20 such fate.
The last scene in his life Of holding q
conversation upon the highest topics of
thought with the State authorities only
few weeks before his execution is
dramatic picture without a parallel in
this country.

THE Philadelphia Ledger cites an in
stance of the success Of cooperation in
France, in the establishment Of Paul
Dupont, the well-known printer Of Paris.
In this great house, before the Franco
German war, on an average an annual
profit of $3.50, 900 was earned, dividing
among the men an average of ten per
cent profits. The establishment sup
ported schools both for the children and
for the adults, and maintained baths,
reading-rooms and libraries well-fnrn-
ished with modern books, periodicals
and scientific treaties. Under this plan
each workman felt himself virtually in
terested in promoting the success of the
concern. Extensive gardens were con-
nected with the printing establishment,
and a cooperative bank was organized
to receive the surplus earnings Of the
workmen.

Alabama treaty with much spirit in a
powerful speech Of some length. Earl
Granville declined to enter into a de-
bate on the subject until after the ratif-
cation of the treaty by the American
Senate. 1t is expected that the conser-

when the final vote is taken ON the ratifi-
cation of the treaty.

Important Decisions Made by the
Supreme Court, az Jackson, Last
Week.
The Jackson (Ienn.) Democrat of
Saturday, the 10th, says;
The Supreme Court decided Wednes-
dav that a Sheriff had no right to de-
mand an indemnifying bond before levy
inc an attachment, and where he levied
upon horse under one, and afterward
released it to third party claiming it,
and offered in exc1se that he had been
advised BY counsel that the indemnifyIng
bond was necessary. the Court held that
the excuse was insufficient, even where
the attachment bond was insufficient,
and that he was liable for the value Of
the property released. -,
Also. That a married woman could
not execute a bond for title 10 her lands
with her husband. She could only dis
nose Of them BY deed acknowledged in
he manner prescribed by law. She can
not be compelled to make title where
she has given her bond for 1t and re-
aeived the purchase money.
