The following communications will &C
count for the money in my hands up to
the present meeting of the Legislature.
The former Comptroller and Treasurer
having declined to settle with me before
the retire from Office the final settlement
was made in accordance with law under
and by direction OF A committee OF the
Legislature and the Attorney General Of
the state:
MEMPHIS, Dec. q, 1869.
John League, Esq, Clerk County Court,
Shelby county:
Dear Sir-In response to yours,
asking ne to inform you of your
duty in regard to receiving the
notes OF the Bank of Tennessee, issued
| prior TO the 9th of May, 1851, ia payment
Of taxes, / have TO say, THAI l think the
recent decision of the Supreme court Of
the United States, in the case Of Eurman,
Green q CO. vs.. P. i. NlcbOl, County
Court Clerk of Davidson county, fixes
your duty in the premises. By the adj
indication it is certainly settled that sec
tion u of the act passed by the General
Assembly of this state, January 49, 1888
establishing the Ban of Tennessee6
creates an obligation upon the part Of the
State to rac5IvB the notes Of the bank IN
payment for taxes; hat the Legislature
has no power to impair this obligation.
The decisions Of the United States Su-
preme Court constitute the supreme law
OF the land, and 1 think that no State
officer is authorized to disregard its a6ju-
dications. I think you are not only safe
i'm so doing, but that i5 is your duty
to receive the notes Of the Bank OF
Tennessee, issued prior to May Q,
1861. in payment for taxes due
the State, and 1 uuhssitatingly advise
E0A ~ AEAEAH0 AAaALH
Respectfully, WALKER WOOD,
Atty Gen. l5thJudicisl Circuit.
On the following day, December 2S,
1859, 1 began to receive the notes Of the
Bank OF Tennessee, and at the end Of the
week, when presenting the funds tor de-
pOsit, 1 received the following notice:
