English language and the American sys-
tenn of government, that constitutional
rule is the paramount law of this State,
supreme over every authority subordinate
to that which ordained the Constitution.
Whatever public taxes are laid by any
authority existing under the laws of the
State must be laid in conformity with that
rule, There can be no exceptions save those
made in the rule itself; for these excep
tons, by well known law OF construction,
explicitly exclude any others.
1t is this provision OF the constitution
which makes nullity of FEEGUsoNs
law eXempting railroads from municipal
taxation and of that provision in the
charter of the Chesapeake II Ohio Rail
road Company excmpting the property Of
that Company ill its net annual profits
are ten per cent
Council may so on and consummate
the proposed agreement, as the Supervis.
ors have done, but we,submit to the good
sense of the members, as VIC do to the
judgment of the public, whether it will
in the slightest degree affect the legal
rights of the city or the legal liabilities
Of the company, us these shall be finally
determined by the courts 1t can only
Complicate and embarrass final adjust
ment.
Upon the whole, while VIC should gladly
see any accommodation made that would
be mutually advantageous between the
city and company, without being unjust
to others or in violationsof law, we are
inclined to deprecate the action now pro.
posed. 1t seems to us what the company
now proposes is no equivalent for the ex-
emption asked and that il it were, the
Council is utterly without authority TO
grant 1t so long as the provision OF the
Constitution quoted stands as 1t is.

Fire af Kiupat0xp.

On last Friday night fire occurred at Kings
ton under rather singular circumstances, con-
sidering the facts. Colonel j. NJ. Thorn
burgh was prosecuting a man for feloni-
GUS assault or malicious shooting: The facts
in the case being about as follows: The prisoner
fired pistol at some one, but struck a little
girl in the leg and wounded her so badly as
to require amputation. On Friday the jury
were impanneled and it was expected would de-
decide the suit next day, but that night during
Col Thornburgh's temporary absence from the
house where he was boarding fire broke out
in his room and consumed his books and pa
pers, together with his overcoat.
When first discovered the walls were a sheet
of fame, suggestive of petroleum. Suspicion
pointed to parties interested in the suit pending,
though nothing eliminating any, one with in
cendiary intent was discovered. The case was
decided, however, and the man sentenced to ten
years in the penitentiary.
For Christmas Gifts go to Peter Ritter and
buy your friend fine Meerschaum Pipe, or
a box of fine Havana Cigars, at 90 Gar stree.

Morristown is situateds42 miles east Of Knox
vile, on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad, and is one of the most thrlv-
ing places in Upper East Tennessee. 1t is a
place of recent growth, having been incorpo-
rated in 1856. It was re-incOrporated in 1866,
ten wears later, and contains about l, 100 inhab-
itants. The town owes its rapid growth and
perhaps its existence to its being a railroad
centre. The projected Cincinnati Cumberland
Gap and Charleston Railroad crosses the East
Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia Road at this
point, and forty miles have already been COM
pIeted south of Morristown to the North Caro-
lima line. This road leads through some fine
country along the French Broad river and a
good quantity of produce, lumber, shingles
&C., are exported.
Morristown is supported by good country.
1t is well supplied with schools, churches, no.
tells. &c. 1t has high school Of which Rev. A.
". Wilson and j. A. Carriger are principals,
also Masonic Female Academy, Rev. L. T.
