\ On the question OF taxing commercial
travellers who represent merchants resi-
ding in other States, spirited and ran
ming debate arose last week in the Ten
nessse State Senate, which was participa-
ted in By Senator'S Etheridge and Henry
Cooper. Mr.. Etheridge argued that IN
der the provisions of section 2, Article
4 OF the constitution of the United States
commercial travellers. Cor ''drummers'
from other Ststes could not be taxed by
etste law, If commercial houses in tn
State were rot also taxed. That section
says: "The citizens of each State shall
be entitled to all privileges and immuni
lies Of citizens IN the several States
hr. Cooper opposed Mr.. Etheridge, anc
held that commercial travellers should b
taxed. After long debate, the recon
siderat;on of the bill was postponed, snc
the tax renaiue.

The Tennessee Trade.

Our Tennessee exchanges very gen.
orally denounce the act of the Tennessee
Legislature in levying a tax upon com
mercial travellers, nonresident of that
State. 1t is regarded as "small
effort of Nashville merchants 10
beat down opposition. They are charged
with having procured the passage of the
law, and it will certainly return to their
injury. The Mckenzie Times, com
menting on the law, says:
'Now, as to the eonstitutiouality OF
the law, it will be attacked, if any in
telligent commercial traveller, with a
United States jobbing license in his
pocket, is ever arrested in Tennessee and
imprisoned for selling by samples. A
case occurred in Louisville, 10 which a
drummer from New York, selling with
his wares spread in the street, in open
violation of the city ordinance, was i'm
prisoued for two hours, bailed out, in
stituted a suit for $4,000 damages, aud
the Louisville jury decided that he va

uieipal law could not be sustained coun-
ter to the license issued by the genera
Government. Whether the Law of the
State could be 50 sustained. is the que>
ton that is not perhaps decided Wheth
er the State law can be sustained or no,
its beneficial influence upon the intere-f
OF the State is a question of serious doubt
with many. First. because it will di
rectly keep many millions of dollars Out
of the State. if all the counties avail
themselves Of these privileges of exciu
sion granted by the Legislature. Then
because it will drive many OF our home
merchants out of the S ate to trade, and
also because it belongs TO the stsgnation
policy Of the past, which defeated the
general good by attempting unwisely TO
foster local interest. Tennessee is not a
Chinese Empire of exclusion, but soy
-ereign progressive republic. Memphis
and Nashville are both crippled by this
late legislation

PersonaI.-G. w. silvertooth-

kefbOnHl.-N w SAAN cAtOOeh-
Before the lower House of the Gen
eral Assembly on the o6th, Mr.. Silver
tooth had read the following from the
Louisville Courier Journal of the 18th
ut:
"Will Mr., Silyerthooth get the Lieu
tenant Governorship2 There are some
queer stories floating around loose con
corning this statesman. They say he was
against the Cincinnati bill, aud wrote a
strong letter in opposition to it since
the meeting of the present session, but
that after he went to Anderson county,
and was recommended for Lieutenant
Governor, he concluded to change sides.
There may have been no concurrence m
the two circumstances and both may
prove false. But Mr.. Silvertooth owes
it TO himself to set himself right, and
we give him fair chance. He ought 10
rise to personal explanation.
After the reading Of the extract, Mr..
Silvertooth said that he bad gone to
Lawrenceburg by invitation, in company
with the Representative from that coun-
ty; that he spoke to no man during the
day on the subject of the Cincinnati
Railrosd, nor did any one speak to him
on the subject, nor did be know it was
intended to recommend him to Office un-
I'll the resolution to the effect was of
fered to the meeting and adopted; and
that the statement in said paper, that he
had written since the meeting of this
General Assembly strong letter in OPP
position to the Cincinnati Railroad, was
wholly without foundation.

Persons convicted of being CONNECTED

tiou not recognised by the laws of the
Commonwealth, are to be fined not less
than fifty nor more than fse hundred
dollars. or imprisonment in the county

30 6nsd and imprisoned at the discretion
Of the jury. This is the penalty for
mere connection with secret unlawful
Organisations. Tho penalties attached
to the commission of certain crimes men
toned, not extending to murder, while
the perpetrators are masked, are exceed
ingly severe, aud Judges and officers Of
the law are enjoined see the law rigid

the bill, without material notifications,
will pass both Houses

Not Defunct.

We had hoped that the Freedmans
Bureau was one of the things of the
past, yet it still maintains as national
paupers, lazy negroes, who ought to be
compelled to go to work to earn their
living, instead of sponging off the white
tax payers Of the country. The Nilsson
ri Republican in speaking of this useless
institution says that even in its raced
present shape the bureau employs eighty
seven officers and clerks, aud supports
fifteen hundred freedmen at Washington
city, to which, as the report admits, many
of the destitute colored people have been
sent from all parts of the South. Gen
eral Howard most illogically argues that
because the communities to which they
properly belong refuse to support them,
a dive should be made into the capacious
pockets of Uncle Sam to keep them from
starving

Outrases In CentraI Kentucky

The numerous outrages that have been
committed recently in upper Kentucky
is not only incredible, but ruinous. The
Lexington Press, in one issue, records
six instances, of the fearful devastatIons
in that county. 1t is absolutely compul-
sorry for the farmers of that section to
take some measures for the better pro-
lection of their property in the future
We, in Western Kentucky, who are com
paratively at peace with all mankind, can
not fully realize the situation. We make
one or two extracts from the Press, that
the reader may see the condition Of af-
fairs:
son last Saturday night band of in :
cendiaries, supposed to be from Licking
tor, made raid on the farmers on the
Richmond pike, burning houses, barns
and crops, indiscrimiDately. About half
past 2 o'clock they visited Mr. Ben
Clarke's, six miles from town, piled oats
against his dwelling and set it on fire
After they left. Mr.. Clarke succeeded in
extinguishing the flames before much
damage was done to his house, but his
barn with all its contents was total
loss.
They then went to Mr.. David Old
hams. set fire to bis barn and destroyed
six stacks of oats and hsy. The barn
was saved. Mr.. JEFF Wilders had two
hay stacks destroyed.
Mr.. Isaac Miller's barn, with all his
farming implements, seven stacks of bay
and two ricks of oats were totally de
stroyed.
1t is also reported that the barn of DIR.
A. X. Marshall was burnad.
Although, as yet. these parties are in
dividualiy unknown, aud though they
may for awhile elude the clutches of the
law suspicion naturally attaches 10 a
certain class, who have taken this cow
ardly, outrageous method of rsdressing
their grievances By inficting injury upon
innocent men, and venting their vindict-
i've lnalignity in an indiscriminate de-
structioD of the property of our citizens. y

OF Peace.

4 weary and almost unbrokeu series
Of disasters has led, by sort of easy
and natural process, to the fall of Paris
| The affairs which brought about the de
feat and division of the army Of the
Loire, the destructive and unexpected
reverses at Vendome aud lie Mans the
ready and surprising capture of Mont
Akron, added to the joint influences of a
terrific bombardment from the German
batteries. and the still more dreadful
pressure of famine inside the walls of the
beleaguered capital, contributed to dis
hearten the soldiers under Trochu and
to render successful sorties impossible.
If we can rely upon the dispatches
from Versailles, and there seem to be
many reasons for crediting them, the
terms demanded by Count Bismarck are
hard. They go so far IN their cxactions
that, unless the absolute subjugation aud
annexation of France were undertake

been safe for any Government in France
to have undertaken to negotiate on the
basis which now appears to be all that is
left the Provisional authorities. But
the events of the last fortnight must
have made it tolerably certain to the
French people, what has been for much
longer time obvious to the outer world
that resistance is hopeless; that France
is PROSTATE aud powerless, at the mercy
OF the invader, who may rend her or
hold her as he will. The nation is not
without resources sufficient to pay all
that is demanded by Count Bismarck.
Nor could the Germans be expected to
abandon Alsace and Lorraine after what
has happened. The terms arc thus hard
but inevitable. Dismantlement will not
suffice, Cession, therefore, is indispensa-
bic, and We may be sure that the Prus
sian leader viii make cool aud quick
work of it, leaving France and tie rest
