STARVING BABEs.-On Tuesday even
ing word was received at the Police of.
fee that three small children were in a
starving condition at the corner of Sixth
and Minna streets, state OF things
brought about by the drunkenness Of
their parents. Officers Casey and Doran
went to the house and found the chill
dren, the eldest of whom is only three
years old, and the youngest but few
months, in a sad plight. The mother
was lying in one corner of the room in
a beastly state of intoxication. The
children had been neglected for several
days and were on the verge of starva-
ton. The name Of the family is Kelly.
The father could not be found. The
mother was locked up on the charge of
being a common drunkard, and the chill
dren were taken in charge by the Sisters
of Charity.-lS. F. Chronicle.

ENaLAND's, ,PHu.osoPHY.-T remark
is attributed to Bismarck, "What is the
good OF Engiand2. She won't fight"
Perhaps the ''good OF England" is that
she doesn't consider aGshting the chief
good of mea or nations. She-has had
vast gdsalof it in her times aud knows
what #" costs. morally, physically and
financially. Yet. although thetesult OF
her experience seems to lead her to act
in accordance with the injunction nf her
great dramatist. 'beware OF entrance to
a QUARREL ? We argde- with the New York

should live long enough to see Germany
force her to the test. he will have lived
long enough to find out that Vaterland
may wage wsr without always winning

This body has adopted the plan .pf
discn.sing at it's meetings subj jscts of
interest to tue whole country. We
observe that the Spring meeting is ap.
pointed to be held in Charleston on the
first Tuesday in May, and that number
of highly intelligsntand cnlti vated agri-
culturists have been charged with the
duty9of opening the discussions on o
series OF well-seleoted topics. These
essays, we presumes.wiil be reproduced

whole people. sd,
The idea of meeting suoccssivoly at

the friendly collision Of our highly in.

Bank, one of our wealthiest citizens, guar
dian of the morals and interests of the
city, and yet for the sake of scrUiny The
people for nothing (?) he openly eNpendS
hundreds of dollars to secure his reflect
ton as Mayor of Knoxville. Is it honora-
BILE TO allow his money to be used to
corrupt the voters of this city? Can an
honorable business man maintain his char
acter for integrity in this community by
giving out money to be used dishonorably
for election purposes? Is it not high time
that the honest men of this city make an
investigation and satisfy themselves uhy
a business man compromises his character
by stopping to all the tricks Mayor Van
Glider uses to secure his re-election-to an

All office, the duties Of which he 2'a'etends
TO discharge for nothing, but which, in
fact, has been worth to him not cent less
than three thousand dollars per annum.
That's the difference between the two cam
didates. Let honest voters say which is
the better paid officer.

a poll tax the Press and Herald
is prating about something 1t evidently
knows nothing about. Art. Ii, Sec. 2S, of
the Constitution in regard to pollta is
"All male citizens of this State, over the
age of twenty-one years, except such per-
sons as may be exempted on account of
age or other infirmity, shall be liable to Il
poll tax of not less than fifty cents nor
more than one dollar per annum. Nor
sitttI any county or CORPORATION lefy q
poll tter exceeding the amount leried by the
State. Words could not be more explicit
in limiting the power of the State, counties
and corporations in levying poll taxes.
Sec. II, Art. Nj, appropriates the State
poll taxes thus: The State poll taxes de-
rived heretofore from polls shall be appro-
priated to educational purposes, in such
manner as the General Assembly shall
from time to time, by law direct. The
county or corporation can appropriate its
poll taxes to any purpose it may see proper
to schools, roads, general purposes, &C.,
but in amount it cannot legally and con-
stitutionally exceed the State poll tax,
which has been fixed by law at so cents
per annunl. If the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen can levy SOC. poll tax for school
purposes, SOC. for general purposes (as they
have done), why can they not levy SOC. fol
streets, soc. for improvement of property
in North Knoxville, and SOC. for wha,
not? The pol! tax of this or any Other
city can not be more than SOC. per capita
and anything fabove that is illegal and
void, and If the government of this city
can levy one cent they can just as well
levy ten hundred thousand cents. This
| constitutional check was for the very pur.
pose of preventing just such men as al
present compose our city government
from preventing the poor man from voting
| by excessive taxation. To attempt the en-
| forcement of an illegal poll tax and the
application of the prepayment of the
same to city election is a double wrong
and iniquity which the voters of this city
will not fail to rebuke. 1t is time that Off.
| cial knees should tremble., ~,

ILLEGALIIY OF THE MUNICIPAL POLL TAX.

y day or two since we said: Our city
fathers fixed the corporation poll tax, not
at fifty cents, what the State has fixed its
tax at, but at one dollar in the face of the
Constitution To this the Press and
Herald, in its usual style, replies: "Of
course the editor Of the Chronicle knows
better than that" We made two allega-
lions, viz: that the city poll tax was ono
dollar, and that the levying of one dollar
was illegal and unconstitutional Which,
of these allegations the Press and Herald
means to deny, it is difficult, from its
squib, to perceive, If it is that the tax is
not one dollar, it is question of fact that
is decided by the records of the city, and
that such is the fact, can be seen by
an inspection of these records. If
il is that the city has the right

OUR CITY DEBT.

Mayor Van Glider boastfully claims that
in three wears he has reduced the city
debt sd, 1858 81. We will leave it to any
financial man in the city if he ever heard
of such ciphering as the Mayor does, to
convince the citizens of Knoxville of his
honest and able financiering. He sets out
hy claiming credit of o,coUcctcd taxes
amounting in the aggregate to Sss,26 So.
He deducts from this what he calls
the liabilities Of the corporation, and
in his mastery manner takes cred
it for Sl3,254 56 of uncollected taxes,
a portion of which may never be col
He adds to this something about interest
Oh "old floating debt" &c. See report in
Sundays CHRoNICLE) and claims that he
has reduced the debt in three years
S25 ,SS3 SO. re
But his reports do not bear out this as
sertion. Let the reader take his pencil
and paper, and if he has the Mayors fl
nancial reports for the past three years
see for himself how the matter stands.
When Mr.. Van Glider went into office the
bonded debt of the city was Sill, 800. The
floating debt, according to his own report
was So. 924 OF. This would make the to.
tai debt Sl51, 424 OIL. The financial report
of the 10th inst, says our bonded debt now
is, SI4S, 200. Add to this the floating debt
As reported-S6, 1S4 29--also the January,
1873, interest on the bonded debt, which is
not reported paid, and which must be at
least $1,000. We learn also that the cor
poration owes for the Bell House property,
now used for school purpose, the sum of
$500. Add these items together, and
they make our actual city debt $l5S,SS4 20
or 81, 46O 10 more than when he went into
Office. He claims that there is now due
the corporation S9,012 80 of uncollccted
taxes more than when he came into office.
Give him credit for this land he is not en-
titled to it, and it would leave the city
debt S149,S71 80 or reduction of
S1,644 IL in three years instead
of S25,SSS SO, as the Mayor claims.
The amount of revenue collected in the
last year of Mayor Bearden's administra-
ton was $45, 999.75 BY reference to the
last financial report of the present Board,
it will be seen that the amount of revenue
received last year was $50, O9l.69, or nearly
SO, 900 more than was received by his
immediate predecessor, and in three years
he has received in all, including taxes,
proceeds of the sale of lands, &c, $l99, $685.
rs. Yet he has reduced the debt, looking
at the account i'm the most favorable light
for him, and according to official reports,
only 81, GALL. This is what he boasts of
and what his strikers call extraordinary
financiering. If. any one doubts the cor
rectness of our figures, all we ask is for
him to make the calculation for himself.
