The judgment of the Circuit Court is
erroneous.
The first plea is in effect plea of non
est tdctunl, but is not sworn to.
The third and fourth pleas are fatally
defective in several particulars. -..--
Defendants undertake to plead in bar
of this motion a recovery in the County
Court of judgments amounting to as
much as the penalty of the bond on which
the motion is based. They fail to show
by their plea any proceedings pending in
the County Court giving the Court juris-
diction to rend judgment or pronounce
DEGREES.
The pleas do not notify the Attorney
General of any legal defence to the mo-
ten.
The pleas are argumentative and condi-
tional. The names of the parties to the
judgments or DEGREES attempted to be
pleaded are not sufficiently set out.
The pleas do not conclude with veri-
f1cation by the record.
For these reasons the demurrer should
have been sustained.
The judgment of the Circuit Court
overriding the demurrer is reversed, the
first, third and fourth pleas dismissed,
and the case remanded for proper pleas
and new trial. TURNEY, Judge.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
SAVANNAH, Tenn, Jan. IL, 1S71.-I
left Nashville on the Sd of January in the
interest of that noble and magnificent en-
terprise, the Masonic Orphans Home"
of Tennessee. have visited the follow
ing Masonic Lodges, viz: McLemores-
vile, Lsvinia and Clarksburg, in Carroll
county; Farmville, Lexington and Center
Point, in Henderson county; Centre and
Decaturville, in Decatur county; Saltillo
and Savannah, in Hardin county, and OBJ
tanned subscriptions to the Endowment
Fund" to the amount of seven thousand
dollars; and from j. n. Galbraith, Gen.
ter Point; James Williams, David Dun
can, Fl. R. Hinkle, Mrs. Hettie L. Har-
den and Philip S. Witherspoon, each one
hundred dollars. Thus you see the good
work goes ''bravely on" notwithstand-
ing the devastations of the late terrible
strife.
This section of country is not so rich
in soil as in some other portions of West
Tennessee, but in the people Ihave never
met with more hospitality, and in
liberality according to ability, they
are equal to any. The moral tone
of the people IN the several neigh
borhoods is of high order. In some of
my lodge meetings it was quite love-
feast. 1t was gratifying to meet with so
many copies of your valuable mammoth
Weekly in circulation, from which l
have been able to learn what was going on
in the world, though have not been near
railroad or telegraph since the 4th inst.
My stay ct this place is three days, which
enables me to become well acquainted
| with the people, their habits, etc. SaVan-
nah is the county seat of Hardin county,
it is on the bank of the Tennessee river,
has six or seven coed business houses, q
new Courthouse, two or three churches,
q Masonic hall and Lodge, Royal Arch
Chapter and Council, and one wooden
| factory. There are Presiding
Elder, Circuit Preacher, and Circuit
Judge residing here; large and beauti-
full college building adorns the place.
The institution is efficient and in success
full operation; the town is remarked for
sobriety, morality and genuine hospitality.
Its high location designates it as one of
health, and such | am informed it is.
Its remoteness from scenes of vice and
immortality makes it to my mind valuable
point to send boys that are being sent
from home for an education.
Permit me to congratulate you and the
readers of your invaluable paper, in hav-
ing sucured to the Agricultural Depart
ment the talents of my old friend Pro-
fessor J. B. Killebrew, of Montgomery
county, whom it has been my pleasure to
know from his boyhood. He is q ripe
scholar and a practical and successful
farmer. May yeur enterprise meet with
that success it so richly deserves.
The amount secured to the Endowment
Fund of the Masonic Orphan Home to
date in West Tennessee is 1914, 600.

ing partner 1t leaks out that she is not q
sister but cousin, and that he, the pur-
chasing partner, was not absent to procure
material or supplies, but to wind up an
unsettled business at ,Hopkinsville, KY,
which place they had left in consequence
of the husband of this woman, who was
the sister or cousin of Carney, having
murdered man at that place and made
his escape therefrom. The parties have
all left here and stated it as being their
intention to return to Hopkinsville, which.
place they left on account of q bitter feel
ing existing, as they say, towards them st
that place by the friends of the murdered
man, they being the friends and relatives of
the man who committed the deed. There
is deep mystery pervading the whole
case, and the community would like very
much to hear from the Hopkinsviiie
papers something in regard to the parties,
as doubtless the people of that place
could come nearer giving some hit on
the hidden things than what we can now.

has been going on for about two weeks
in the Methodist Church at this place.
There has been so far about fifteen con-
versions. In connection Herewith, we
would throw out to several young men
who occupy rear seats, and who amuse
themselves in conversations and rudeco
duct, gentle hint that there are eyes
upon them, that there are severe laws for
the punishment of those who create dis
turbsnce at public worship, aud moreover,
that their claims to being of the F. F. T.,
will not prevent mention of their names
in the papers. If young men can not
attend churches for any other purpose
than sport and amusement they had bet
ter stay away altogether. In great haste,

ASSE sSMENTs FOR TAXA
TION.
Some Suggestions for the Legisla.

some suggestions Tor tne LeRisihs
ture and for Assessors.
To the Editors Of the Union and American:
TRENTON, Jan. 20.-The taxes are suf-
ficiently high for all purposes. All that
is needed is proper assessment OF pro-
perry by assessors for each county. There
should have been some change in the law
on this point, provided the assessors are
required to transfer to the tax books all
conveyances made during the year pre-
vious on property for which he should be
paid a transferring fee by the clerk of the
County Court who could collect it from
the parties when the deed was made.
This would show all the changes and
transfers of property, and ebviate the
great difficulty we now have of having
the same property assessed to different
parties. The basis of valuation at pres
ent is very defective, and can only
be remedied by q general assessor for
each county, or Board of Commission
eYs, to equalize the valuation of property
in each district, according TO some stand
ard defined by law. see it stated that
there is large deficiency in land reported
for taxes for 1870, as compared with
1861. Possibly there msy have been an
error in the amount reported for 1861; at
any rate, parties are not precise in giving
the number of acres, and there will al
ways be variation in the quantity of
acres in each county every year. 1t is
more essential that the proper UGIudttOn
should be given, as the taxes are not
levied upon the land per acre, but upon
the value only. A tact of land may be
given in for 500 acres, when really there
were only 4S0 acres, or 5l5 acres. 1t is
known as 500 acre tract of land. In COM
pairing the assessment of 1870 with 1860,
the valuation of the lands should be con-
sidered, and not the number of acres.
Has the State lost in value of real estate
in the last decade2 If so, how much9
And what was the value of slave property
aud personal property then, and what is
the value of personal property now2
These are the true figures the political
economist should look at, and not the
quantity of ground. The crisis de-
mands that our rulers should thoroughly
comprehend this subject so as TO be able
to work the State through its financial
troubles without being too burthensomt
to the people in the way of taxes. Pos
sibly large proportion of the expendi
lures might be cut down very benef
cially.
