Our Nashville Letter.

NASHVILLE, Dec. II.
The plates from which the notes of the
Bank of Tennessee were struck, twenty
three in number were destroyed to-day in
the presence of joint committee of the
Legislature and the Clerk and Master of
the Nashville Chancery Court. The
plates seem to be all i'll good order
and were lately received from Philadel-
phia, where they have been for ten
years. They were destroyed by being cast
into the furnace at the penitentiary. Sena-
tor Staley was Chairman of the Commit
tee that did the work. l am led to be-
lieve from Investigation that there has
not been any notes struck Oft these plates
since the Bank of Tennessee has suspend
ed. am informed the plates have all the
time been in the hands of highly response
BILE parties. But how many notes unsign-
ed were in the vaults of the Bank of Ten
nessee and its branches when the bank
left this State, / can not state, but I I'M
derstand these unsigned notes were very
numerous
THE TAX BILL.
The tax bill has not yet finally got
through the two Houses. The House has
refused to concur in the Senate amend
ments, and Committee of Conference has
been appointed. The al UalOrem tax is
forty cents. Nothing was done Tor Schools.
The Senate voted down to-day q House
bill exempting manufac turers from taxa
ton for five years, The objection to the
bill was that it was unconstitutional.
The Senate would have sustained
the bill had it not been for this Constitu-
tional difficulty. Thus does the new Con-
stitution damage the material interest of
the State.
VETOES.
Governor Brown has been rather free in
the use of the veto power. He vetoed
quite a batch of county line bills on Sat
urday, and thus created quite fiutter
among the members. The Senate over
ruled one of the vetoes and sustained the
balance. A great many Democrats have
rather cooled in their affection for the Gov
se-nor, and his course and policy have been
severely criticised in and out of the Legis-
lature. Brown is not quite Democratic
enough for the rebels. The old Wing
still sticks out in HIM. Raising will
tell"
ADJOURNMENT. p rffH

urday Members swear they will not stay

A Protest.

Il
We give below the protest of Senator
| Gibson to the bill passed by the present
Legislature to force Col. Baxter to dismiss
his suits against certain Democratic news
paper editors:
PROTEST.
I enter this, my protest, against the
| passage of House bill, No. 81, "TO au-
thorize defendants to sever in certain ac-
tons, and have the cause as to them trans.
ferred to the county of their residence"
These certain actions" are suits Tor
damages done the cbdrdcter.p LuH
This is a political bill, and is designed
to cover the suits of Col. John Baxter
against the editors of the Nashville Union
and american, the Nashville Banner, and
others now pending in the Circuit Court
of Knox county, for libel. This bill in
vades the Knox Circuit Court in violation
of existing law, and makes many suits ont
of one. Instead of one suit, in one Court,
and in one county, this bill makes
several suits, in several courts and
in several counties. In word, this
bill is designed to force John Baxter to be
plaintiff in many suits in various counties,
against his will. Under this bill a man
from Shelby county may go to Campbell
county and utter the vilest ISLANDERS, and
publish the most atrOcious libels against
the most honorable man or woman in
Campbell county; and if the man or won-
EN- thus wickedly injured and DETAINED
bring suit against this vile slanderer, he
can remove the suit all the way to Shelby
county and compel my injured constitu-
ent to go all the way to Shelby county in
order to continue his suit. Such law is
monstrous, wicked and despotic. To strike
down John Baxter every man and woman
in Tennessee must be made to stand silent
without redress while the reeking, Shiny
tongue of the slanderer is poisoning
the very air. This bill bids def
ance to right and justice, and in
its intent and effect violates the constitu-
ton. The constitution says: "The Leg
islature shall have no power to pass any
law for the benefit of inviduals inconsist-
ent with the general laws of the land
This bill is general in its terms, and it
is "passed for the benefit of individuals"
and is inconsistent with the general laws
of the land.n Besides this bill was passed
under the operation of the previous ques-
tom whereby l was prevented either
from offering an amendment, or of expos
ing the enormities in the bill, showing
conclusively that the bill would not bear
ventilation.
I, therefore, protest against this political
bill as without precedent in this State,
as fearful in its tendency, as wicked in its
results, as unconstitutional in its essence,
the offspring of polical revenge and the
mother of political oppression.
