Tennessee Bank Notes,

There is at present scarcity of money
in circulation. By the law of the State,
Tennessee Bank notes (old isSue) are re-
ceiYable for taxes. According to the pub
lished statement of the State Comptroller
there were on the LIST of October, 1871,
,000) seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars of these bank notes, still oustand-
ing and unredeemed. This was less by
(75, 000) seventy-five thousand dollars than
the amount of the same kind of notes re-
ceiVed into the State Treasury and burned
during the previous year by the Comp
troller. The fair presumption is, there
fore, that the remainder, or nearly all of it,
will be consumed in the payment of taxes
during the next twelve months, or by the
LIST of October, 1872. The probability, in
deed, is that much the larger part Of this
fifty thousand will be used in payment of
taxes by the lst of April, 1872. For, by
the Comptroller's report, the amount OF
Indebtedness to the State for taxes, includ-
ing the year 1871, is two millions and
eighty-three thousand dollars, which il
nearly three times as much as the amount
ofoutstanding old Tenn, bank notes. These
notes, Therefore, are well worth the price
at which they are retailed in Knoxville. Of
ninety cents in the dollar. But they are
now lying locked up. Why should not
they enter at their diminished value, into
circulation, when the currency is so pain
fully deficient ? Suppose that the mer

Publishing the Opinions of the Supreme
cOurf

A bill is pending before our Legislature
to make provisions for publishing the Su-
preme Court opinions in newspapers, and
our Supreme Judges have petitioned the
Legislature to enact such law.
We do think that our State is too hard
pressed, financially, topay five thousand or
more dollars yearly to have these opinions
published in a newspaper, with limited
circulation. When published they are not
read by fourth of the readers of the par
ticuar paper in which they are published.
The reports, containing all the important
decisions, as fast as published are furnished
the Clerks of our Circuit and Chancery
Courts. All the people have access to them.
This is sufficient. Why 90 TO unnecessary
expense, when taxation is running our peo-
pie and the revenue is too small TO meet
State obligations. We call upon our rep
resentatiye to vote against unnecessary
expense and try 10 relieve the burdened
people, reeHcUiHc Sentinel.

Fires i'm the Northwest.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S--Judge Barron,
fifth auditor of the treasury, returned to-
day from q visit to his home in Wisconsin.
He says that the published reports of the
wide spread restitution and suffering in
that region, caused by the terrible fires,
are in no respect exaggerated, and that no
accounts can give an adequate idea of the
frightful extent of the calamity. The loss
to the numbering interest in the destruc-
ton of mills, &C., is immense, but not,
however, irreparable as the pine forests
are generally left standing, though strip
ped by the fire of their lighter branches
and foliage.
f...- THE FOREST FIRES OUT. "a
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 1S.-The relief COM
mittee for northern Wisconsin have de-
cided to send two men into every county
devastated by the fire to ascertain the eX-
act amount and kind of supplies decided
during the coming winter, and the nearest
point to which supplies may be sent. The
recent rains have stopped the conflagra-
ton,

"The Goose Hangs HIgh.n

1 clipped the following professed solu-
ton of the veXed question of the origin of
this expression from an Eastern paper quite
recently:
"a practice prevailed in some parts of
the South before the war to have a goose
pulling frolic about the holidays conelu-
ded as follows: a goose was tied by the
feet to limb of a tree just high enough
for horseman in passing, by raising in
his stirrups, to reach the head of the fowl
and give it pull. The string not being
strong, sharp jerk would bring the bird.
Each sport paid the owner of the goose
a bit for chance to pull it from the
limb; if he succeeded, the goose was his.
Sometimes it hung a little too high, and so
eluded the grasp of the catcher as he rode
under the branch on which the web-footed
bird was suspended. In such case, as the
horsemen galloped past in quick success
sion, the remark would be made by the
by-standers, that everything was lovely
and the goose hangs high.'n
Now the man who wasted the midnight
oil in writing that is a bloody Muggins,
whoever he is. The origin of the express
sion is as simple and plain as need be.
You in the Atlantic and Western States
have two kinds of wild geese, viz: the
small, acknowledged, spotted-breasted
goose, called the I" laughing goose,n and
the large dark goose, properly called the
Canada goose (A3lSer CdRd6epsis.) This
last always flies northward in early spring
time, in flocks, under leader, who heads
the column, and at brief intervals gives
off deep duh cry, honk-hOnk-honk
From this note they are called in the West
and Southwest "honkers" If the wealth
eris fair and prospect ahead pleasant, these
geese fly straight nOrthward, high in the
air, the leader honkiDg" loudly as he
flies; but, if otherwise, they fly lower and
in anticipation of storms, break up their
harrow-shaped organization and look for q
place of alighting. Thence comes the ex-
pressive and forcible expression, Every
thing is lovely and the geese hOHbs high
The word honks" has been misunder
stood or corrupted into hangs" by the
whites who heard it, as I have heard il
many times years ago used by the negroes
in the Mississippi Valley.

Our people do not object to being taxed

imposed upon them chiefly for the benefit
and protection of monopoly already rich

Salt being absolutely an article of more
general consumption than either sugar OF
