TIE COMING FIGHT BETWEEN CoBURN AND
MACE. r',~

The interest in the coming fight increases as the
day OF battle draws near and the partisans OF the
pugilists are eager to invest their money on the
result. When the match was first made betting was
very much in favor OF Mace, as great doubts were
expressed about Copurn taking sunicient pains TO
get himself in condition for protracted fight. He,
however has attended rgdly to the rules laid down
by his attentive mentor, Frank Mcintyre, and
has in consequence OF severe regimen, reached q
state bordering on perfection, physically for the
trying ordeal o. the prize fight Tie consequence OF
TITS attention to business and the nne condition he
has reached has drawn around him hosts OF friends
who are willing to stand by him to the last and
bet their "bottom dollar' on the result, believing
from his nne science, that there is no man living
VINO has "a license TO lick him. Us they express It.
The long odds, therefore, is no longer offered on
Mace, and even money is eagerly wagered TO large
amounts on the result. There IS no doubt that the
coming light win be the most scientific encounter
that ever took place In America, and that the man
OF the most endurance Will prove the victor. MAY
the best man win seems to be the sentiment eX-
pressed by the hackers OF both men, and II that
feeling is strictly carried out those VINO witness the
battle VIII 'the manly art OF seli.delence' DIS
played to the greatest perfection.

Thousands visited the vicinity of the

WASHINGTON, ID. o., Aug. z, 1871.
Synopsis for tie past tloenty- four hours
The barometer has fallen since Sunday af-
ternoon slightly at the Rocky Mountain
stations, and very considerably from Ohio
to Kansas and the northwest. The pres
sure has increased rapidly from New Jer-
sey to Alabama, where il is now falling,
but the highest pressure still remains on
the south-Atlantic coast. South-easterly
winds are now reported from Chesapeake
bay to Massachusetts,, but southerly winds
prevail very generally in the Southern and
Gulf States. Partially cloudy and clear
weather has prevailed from Pennsylvania
to Maine and westward to Lake Michigan,
but cloudy and threatening weather has
been experienced from Tennessee north
ward into Ohio, and rain is reported from
the Gulf coast.
Probabilities. The barometer will prob
ably fall very generally east Of the Missip-
pi, the lowest pressure remaining north
and west of Illinois. Conditions will re-
main favorable for local storms from Mex
leo to Lake Superior and east of Louisi-
ana. Threatening weather will probably
very generally prevail during the night
from Tennessee and Virginia to Lake Ca
tario, and clJudy weather with few local
storms will probably stand over New En-
gland Tuesday afternoon.

CAN LAWYERS BE TAXEDl


Argument i'm the case of A. S. Col
var, Esq, vs.. W. G. Ewin, County
Court Clerk.
Sometime since A. s. Oolyar, Esq paid
to W. q. Ewin, Clerk Of the Davidson
County court, the amount of tax assessed
against him as practicing attorney, pro-
testing at the time against the constitu-
tonal right of the State to require such
tax, and notifying the Clerk of his inten-
zion to test IN the courts the Les atty Of q e
requirement The cause yesterday came
on for trial in the Law Court, on
an agreed state of facts, before
Judge Baxter presiding, by interchange
with Judge Guild. The whole case turns
upon the constitutionality of the act
of the Legislature imposing a tax upon
lawyers. Tho argument waJ opened by
Gov. Foote, on the side CT the plaintiff,
and the speech of the distinguished advo-
cate was full of oogeat reasoning and elo-
quent appeal Gov. Foote also cited vari-
GUS authorities in support of his position,
and made interesting references to the his
tory of the legal profession in this and
other countries. When Gov. Foote had
concluded, the court was addressed by
w. E. Colyar, Esq, on the same side,
and by Il. Ii. Steger, ESD, In
behalf of the State. The efforts of these
gentlemen are highly creditahle to them
as youthful members of the legal profes-
sion, and evinced tine fact that each of
them had carefully examined the law reva-
lent to the case. Col A. s. Oolyar will
this morning make the closing argument.
In behalf of the Clerk or for the side of
the State, it is claimed that the Legislature
has the power to tax any occupation
as q privilege. The other side as
sumo opposite ground, and argue
that the practice of the legal profession is
not privilege but righ1, and that this
right cannot be taxed-t;hat a privilege
can only be taxed when the Legislature
has the power to prohibit it altogether
that privilege is an exception to gen
eral prohibition. Judge Baxter is giving
the argument patient hearing, and thus
far it has ELECTED considerable interest
among members of the bar.

Tribute OF Respec ct to the Memory of
the Late John Marshall,

At the last stated meeting of CumbeY-
land Lodge No. 8, f. and A. NJ, the COM
uittee appointed 10 draft resolutions upon
tue death of Brother John Marshall, who
lost hia life on the night of the 81 July,
1871, By being precipitated with a train CT
clrs through tbs railroad bridge crossing
Harpeth river, reported as follows:
On the 10Th of November, 1867, Brother
John Marshall affiliated with this Lodge,
since which period his ability, zsal aud in
dustry as Mason has been noted sld ap-
prociated by his brethren throughout this
jurisdiction, but especially by those Of this
Lodge, of which he was an honored mem
ber
Upon committees where intellect and
industry were required, who of us are not
aware of his presence, always impressing
US with the dignity of his style and general
manner of his department.
Nearly two years since, by the unani-
NOUS vote of his lodgs, his appoin.msn
was heartily endorsed as a member OF it's
Board of Trustees, where be remained &C.
tive and devoted in the discharge Ct bis
duties, until the day of his snd and untime
ly death.
Age had not dimmed his sight or impair
ed his power. He was called away in the
very noontide of | fe and visor. 1t was
the decree of the Almighty, and we sub
NIT to the Christening stroke with humility
and sorrow. In his loss homo has been
deprived of its sunlight Of faith, hope and
earthly comfort, society Of an ornament,
and our Lodge of one of its brightest
jewels
Be il therefore resolved, That as token
of respect we wear the usual badge OF
mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That we tender bis sorrowing
family our eincere sympathies In this great
affiiction. ..-... .
Resolved, That the foregoing be spread
upon the minutes of our Lodge and a
copy transmitted to the family OF our de-
ceased brother, and that 1t be furnisned 10
the daily papers for publication. .
