1--WE refer our nei2hbor to the Sher
ms sales of real estate, as found in his
own columns, which is a sad commen~
tary upon his Ubiquitous policy."-MaiJ
There were but thirty-tiye delinquent
taxpayers property advertised in this
county this year. Last year, we be-
lieve, there were but nineteen in the
county, which has nearly forty thousand
population and about eleven millions of
property In our neighbOring county
of Lewis-where they have no debt, by
the way-and whose whole property is
valued at but two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, there were over thir-
~ pieces of property advertised for tax
es. In Lawrence county, this year
there were nearly three hundred cases
published. This comparison shows
what a thrifty condition our people are
in. The advertisement of property for
taxes by no means indicates that the
delinquent is not able to pay his tax;
because in numbers of cases the tax for
which the property is sold does not
amount to more than one dollar. So it
is not the result of inability to pay, but
rather the effect of neglect, or wilful
iudispOsitiOn to pay. Paying taxes is
like paying other debts. A great many
people refuse to pay their debts, not be-
cause they have no money, but because
they have not the disposition to pay.

The Farmer Movement Discus
sion at Humboldt.

We give in another column the inter
Csting discussion at Humboldt i'll re-
gard to the transportation question.
our sympsthies are with the farmers in
this movement, and we hope they may
keep within due bounds. The railroads
should reduce their charges, and as
Maj. SYKES says, "they would increase
their business and their profits" Maj.
4. Is. HURT's remarks were in very
good taste. He did not want to go to
extremes, and thereby defeat the very
object the farmers had in view. We
agree with Col. CALDWELL, that Zone
of the best ways to improve the condi-
lion of the farmers is to create taste
FOR and love of agricultural pursuits.
The whole discussion will repay peru
sal. Agriculture is the great basis OF
wealth in Tennessee, and it should be
encouraged and improved.

New EngInnd and the south

IChristian Observer
1t is the strictly received opinion in
certain quarters that when the South
has improved in religion and morality
wonderful revolution will have passed
over the character and lives of the
Southern people. 1t is assumed that
gambling, drinking, and duelling make
up large share Of Southern life. Its
people arc supposed to be given over to
horse-racing, card playing, chicken
lighting and other denominations the
pistol end bowie-knite are considered
emblems OF the character of the people !;
while the church and the school-house
are accepted as the representatives of
the moral and religious States of New
ENGLAND, The New York World
calls attention to CERTAIN facts brought
to light by the census of 1870, which do
not harmonic with this theory, so
pleasing to our Northern friends. The
following, for instance, discovers the
fact that the New England States, in
point of churches, are far behind the
older Southern States. The six New
England States have white population
of 3, 40 ,043. These are furnished with
5,42l churches, containing 2,202,677 sit
tings. The States of Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia,
have ii ,567 churches, containing sittings
for s, 600 ,J84 parsons. When the church
es of New England look oyer the map
OF the world to select FIELD fOF their
missionary labors, they turn instinct
ivelv toward the benighted South,
which already has more than double
the number of churches that New Eng
land mas built for her own people. The
churches in these Southern States pro-
vide sittings equal to the entire popula-
tion. while New England has over a
million ofinhabitants for whom no pro-
vision whatever has been made. These
same New England States return 1868
paupeTs, or one in every 2l7 and 2,O97
criminals, or one in $50 Wills The |
white population of those same South |
ern States return 1882 paupers, or only |
one in every 46s; and LIZA criminals, or |
one in every 2,Sl6. Here, again, the |
balance is decidedly in favor of The |
South. From the same source we learn |
that among the negroes ia the South |
there is one pauper in each 900, and one I
criminal IN each 7l6 OF their number |
while among ths negroes of the North |
there is one pauper in l43, and one GRIM /
inal in each 2O4 of their number. From /
these figures we may conclude that tn /
moral influences surrounding the color l
ed people in the South, and the relig-
ious privileges provided for them, are |
far better than those which surround
their race in the North. If figures will
not lie, then our friends in the North
will have to reconstruct their estimate
of southern character, and the church.
going people of New England must pro-
vide missionaries and church accommo-
dations for over a million Of her own
before they can resume their
former tone when speaking of their
Southern neighbors.

TIE Mail says that Maury county is
''cIrryiUg a debt the interest of which
she can meyer pay" The ignorance OF
our cOtempOYary on some points is
startling. Maury county paying inter-
est on her debt! Who but our delirious
contemporary ever heard of such thing?
Doesn't he know that county warrants
10 not bear interest? One, uniformed
on the subject, reading the Mall, would
think that che county was carrying an
enormous interest bearing debt; when
ma fact she owes only about eleven thou
sand dollars, upon which debt not a cent
"tiuterest is sccruing; and all of this will
he paid by the taxes this year. Delud
rd and ignorant of the real condition of
;hiUgs, as our neigh6or is, we ought not
ca eeusUre him for being opposed to
taxation. but he deserves a severe re-
Euke for writing such articles on sub
5erts upon which he is not properly in
formed, and by so doing deceiving cred
UloUs people who will not take the
trouble TO investigate the matter them
selves.

The Null says that Maury county car
never pay the interest on her debt OF
course every body-except the editor
of the MalL-knows that the county
pays no interest on her debt. But sup
pose she did, how much would it be?
Her present debt is about eleven thous-
and dollars. At the legal rate this
would amount to the Insignificant sum
of six hundred and sixty dollars year.
And this sum, our contemporary says,
Maury county-with eleven millions oil
property and nearly forty thousand
population-can nerer pay. 1t this be
true, NC apologize for all that we have
said about the wealth OF our county
we by no means meant - Aock her
poverty.
