Strange,

Notwithstanding the extravagant dis.
patches sent from this city to Atlanta,
strange TO say, there were four arrivals
from that city registered at single hotel
yesterday. We are now beginning to
think that there are still few down South
who don't believe that the people of
Nashville are all dead, and the city inhabited
altogether by ghosts,

SOLVENT DEBTS.

The decision of the Supreme Court, last
May, exempting solvent debts from taxa
ton, fell like wet blanket on the bare skin
Of cold morning, on the people Of the coun-
try. We looked upon the decision at the
time, as calculated to work injustice.
Thousands of the poorer classes were, nm
der this decision. compelled to pay an in
creased rate Of taxes on property for which
they owed, while the richer individuals, the
holder of the note, and, in reality, the real
owner of the property, like the United St ties
bond holder, WAS allowed to pass on in his
brdly career without contributing one cent to-
ward the support of the government. The
deaisisn met with the rebuke from the people
It deserved. They condemned it in such en-
phatic tones and manifested such indigna
tion at the injustice done to them, that our
Supreme tribunal Lave been led to view the
matter in different light, and it is now de-
clared that solvent debts are subject to tar-
alton. And this is right. But then arises
the question Of double taxation, which also
10 an irjustice This can be avoided by
assessing all property for its full cash value
and then deduct the amount for which said
property is liable, holding the property re-
eponsible for the taxes on the amount OF the
difference. Then in turn assess the notes
or mortgages against said property, and you
have an assessment on its entire value, and
will collect taxes on it all once and only
once, and the parties who are worth the
money will pay the taxes. There has been
a bill proposed to amend the principle of
taxation to this basis, and we hope it viii
be put through.

POSTPONEMENT,
FOURTH GIFT CONCERT,
Of Public Library Of Kentucky
A Gard to the Public.

The Trustees of the Public Library of Ken
lucky and the management of the Gift Concert
announce the postponement of the Fourth Gift
Concert until Tuesday, the 31st of March next
The public will readily understand the causes
which have made this postponement necessary.
The financial panic which has for the last two
months paralyzed the business of every section
of this country and of Europe has prevented
thousands from investing in tickets. The epi-
denies pervading almost the entire South have
cut off large and available market. And, too,
the public judging from the effects of these
causes have expected postponement and have
declined to invest without more positive assur-
ance Of the drawing taking place on fixed day
All interested desire full drawing, but for
the reasons just stated this could not be had on
the Sd of December, but the short postpone
ment now announced will secure it,
The management have met with unprecedent-
ed success. The sales of tickets, the proceeds
of which have already been received amount to
over million of dollars, with number of
those in Europe.
thus drawing (scallng the gifts one-halG,
could be had now, but the management deem it
best to have postponement and .fM dra,cing.
This postponement assures The sale Of all the
tickets and A FULL DRAWING. That this de-
termination will meet with the appreciation of
nearly every one interested is made apparent by
the very numerous tiers received from every
section of this country and the Canadas asking
for postponement.
This action of the management will work no
detriment to any, but will be for the good of all
By it the fortunate ticket-holders will receive
their gifts in fuH, while it will not affect those
who do not draw gifts.
In making this announcement the manage
ment en,phaticaAy state that there shall be no fur
ther postponemert, and to this end all agents will
be imperatively required to close up and trans
NIT their accounts to this office by the 2lst of

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
In compliance with the Governors recommen-
dation, Finney has introduced bill to abolish
capital punishment This is a move of ques-
tonable policy. The great amount of hanging
that has lately taken place, appears to my mind
TO have had healthful influence. not on the
criminal, for of course it, in and of itself, is not
a healthy exercise, but upon the community at
large. My sympathies have always been with
the innocent, and punishment is to prevent
crime And to-day the hoodlems heve no fear
of the State Prison.

SENATORIAL.

The election of United St ates Senator is
now the all absorbing topic of interest at the
capital. The Legislature has balloted each
day this week since Tuesday, without elect
ing. Our Sacramento letter gives partic-
ulars of first two votes, and at last accounts
the vote stood the same as there recorded.
The wheels of the Legislature are locked
on this question, and we think the threaten
ing course of the onion and some of the
Independents is calculated to do Booths
cause more harm than good.

LAND BILL.-Senator lngolls presented a
bill to Congress last Monday, which, if
passed, promises relief from the most out
rageous and damnable abuse that has been
imposed upon a suffering people since
the day when injustice TO citizens first began
in our National Councils The bill aboishes
the distinction, so far as actual settlers are
concerned, between public lands inside or
outside the railroad grants, 1t refunds
half the minimum price paid heretofore, and
gives homestead settlers on such lands so
acres additional to the so to which they
were hitherto restricted. The act which
gave alternate sections to railroad enter
prses, and then made the settler pay double
Tor the remaining sections, we always did
regard as the most unprincipled, unexcus-
able act that ever disgraced Our govern
ment. The government lost nothing by the
act. Its result was to force the tax of
building the railroads onto the very poorest
class of people, or deprive them of homes.
1t was like giving one forse to rich broth
er, and charging your poor father two prices
for the other, just because you could. We
hope the bill will pass.
