A PRISONER STARvEs HIMSELF To
DEATH.-On the 25th of May last Chris
topher Swartz, half.witted German
employed in the Goshen Jail as watch
man, was checked to death in an at
temped escape by negro named Alex
ander Diamond and a white man named
Morgan. To this attempted escape and
resulting murder, another inmate OF the
jail, Jerry Daniels, was privy. Diamond
and Morgan were tried at the last term
of the court, and were sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment each. Daniels
was not tried, and remained in Jail. On
the l4th OF October Daniels refused to
take either food or drink. He would
give no explanation of his reasons, talk
ing to no one, but persistently maintain
ing moody silence. Two of his fellow
prisoners united with him in this plan.
Their names were Jerry Lucy, from
Goshen, awaiting trial for petty larceny,
and John Mccarthy, from Millsburg,
who was serving out four months
time on conviction for the same
of-nse. All persisted in their refusal
to cat or dink until they became very
weak, and, on physician GER
titying that longer confinement would
cause death, Mccarthy was released
and Lucy was bailed by his friends.
No such luck was in store for Dan.
sls. He still persisted in his design
To the inquiries of the keeper whether
be wanted anything, he returned surly
answers, and resolutely refused all prof
fers of sympathy and relief. In the
tearley part of last week physician, who
had been called, said that he must take a
teaspoonful of whisGey in half cup of
milk every two hours or die. He took
the mixture few times and then closed
his teeth when the cup was proffered
MN. lie also refused to lie upon his
bed, and as long as he was strong enough

the attendant placed him upon it. He
refused to see clergyman, even when
TOD that he must die, and when Mr..
wade, the turnkey, asked him if he
wished to leave any message, he merely
muttered an oath. and at night, when all
was quiet, be filled the Jail with blasphe-
mics For seventeen days he took no
sustenance, so far as is known, with the
exception of the few cups of whiskey and
milk milk and finally, on Thursday, October

THE AssEssMENT LAW.

Under the miserable assessment law of
Tennessee If a man sells his farm for $lO,'
600. for which he takes the notes of the
purchaser, be must pay tax on that
amount. The man who purchased the
land also pays tax on it. Thus the State
procures double taxes from the SINE prop
erty. This Is a pretty fair sample of the
law In general franklin ReUje,o
Let us see If the reasoning of the ReUie11
IL not at fault. To illustrate, suppose that
notes were not taxable and landhOlder
worth $4,000, sells his land to avoid pay
ing taxes, and receives in payment therefor
notes TO the amount Of $1,000. Now,
these notes are property, negotiable at
about their full value, bearing interest, per
haps, and hence produces an income to the
holder. Then why should they not be
taxed? They are the only property the
holder has, and he is worth SlO,OOO.
Now for the other side of The question.
It. is universally conceded that land is le-
Ultimate SUI 2ject for tsxaLi' for the support
of the State Government, etc. Then we
would inquire who should pay the tax?
Unquestionably the person who owns lt,has
a deed for it and cultivs,es 1t. Then the
only legitimate conclusion Lom the forego-
ingis that the law works no hardships upon
either the vendor or vendee. Suppose the
land had been purchased with cash, would
not both the land and cash be liable Tor
tsxationP Now we are sometimes met with
the argument that the seller of the land IS
sometimes compelled to take 1t back 10 or
der to collect the notes. We will reply TO
this by saying that l. was simply an error

STATE FIGHTS.

The attempt of Miss Susan B. Anthony
TO establish the right Of woman suffrage, in
spite Of the laws of New York to the con-
trary, suits in a ne W and cleI- enunciation
by Federal Circuit Judge, of the princi-
pie Of Stale rights. Miss Anthony q lined
the elective franchise in virtue Of United
States citizenship under the fourteenth and
fiftee 9TH amendments of the Federal Con-
stitutlon. In his charge TO the jury the
Judge shows very plainly that these amend
ments recognize the right Of the State TO
deny suffrage even TO male inhabitants, as is
the actual case ia more States
than one, where educational aud properly
tests are OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
Rhode Island, for instance. Exactly how
Miss Anthony's violati n Of New York
State law comes to be tried by United
States court, we do not understand, but
suppose il is some jugglery Of the elastic
s.force bill" enacted by Congress, and the
constitutionality of this "law" my be
brought in question b. al a2psal of
this case to the Supreme Court. But the
strict construction and limitation given to
the new amendments, and the declaration
of State control over the franchise, except
as to s'race, color, or previous condition."
are none the less timely and valuable. The
argument will repay perusal.

A Lecture On Manifest Destiny.
SALEM, VA, June 18.-Gov. Henry A.
Wise delivered an annual address before
the literary societies of Roanoaks College
last night on the subject of the Physical
Structure of tie Domain IF the United
States and Its effect on the past and
present and its favorable effect in
the future upon their progress, power,
peace, commerce, constitution and govern
ment. 1t was remarkable production, In
which he advocated the construction of the
the James river and Kanawha canal as a
belt of union; said that if the Mississippi
river had flowed east and west the South
would never have been whipped; slavery
had been blight upon Southern industry
and prosperity; the large plantation system
was anti commercial and unfavorable to
manufactures, and was the reason why no
great commercial metropolis sprung up a.
the mouth of the Chesapeake. Tbs late war
had changed the relations o society. The
bondsmen of yesterday were freemen to-
day and the freemen of yesterday wer

THE ASSESSMENT LAW.

From the Chattanooga Times.
We have seen many. complaints in our
exchanges ABOUT the provisions of the new
assessment law. These mostly have come
from assessors who are doubtless anxious
to serve the people in the same capacity l.
the future. One of the great draw backs 10
the commercial growth OF Tennessee, has
been the loose method of assessing real es-
tate. Much of this class of property has
escaped taxation entirely in the past, and
the balance of it has been Vslued at SIS,
600 for taxation, while at no time would it
have brought less than $4,000 in market.
And this is a specimen case. The present
law Wips out another abuse that has
grown into crying evil. We refer to the
habit of copying the old assessment rolls,
value, description and all, from year to
wear, paying no heed to the record of
transfers, increase of value, etc. As the law
now is, no man can assess property by sit
ting in his Office and copying bungling
list of his predecessor, without perjurlng
himself He has got 10 assess property up
on actual view, or upon the oath OF the man
who OWLS it.
While we write, friend 10 the Office in
forms us that he has owned lot in this
CITY for years, and that it has been during
all this time assessed for taxes in the name
OF the granter This, to use slang phrase
sIs played,n and 80 of many other abuses,
and that is mostly what's the matter with
the assessment law and the new blanks.

average teachers board being 1922 per
