BATH, n. Y, April 2G.-Years ago there

lagc an eccentric character named Newell
Kimball He sold Yankee notions for II
living, carrying them from house TO house
in Tx box. He was over seventy years
old and used on his tramps a peculiar and
very crooked staff. He had been sailor
in his younger days. He was married, his
wife being many years his junior. One
night five years ago he left Bath for his
home. Weeks and months passed away
and he was not again heard of. His wife
knew nothing about his mysterious dsap-
pcarance. RumOrs became rife that the
old man had been murdered for his money.
as he usually carried quite a sum with him.
1t was said that portion Of his clothing
had been found ON the shores Of Crooked
Lake, near Bath.
The old tramp was forgotten in year or
so, and his wife went away, and ii is be
licyed remarked. The house in which
Kimball had lived gradually fell into decay,
and was occupied by Il stragglcr now and
then who wanted lodging.
The old sailor turned up last week much
10 the establishment of everybody. His
hair and beard had grown long, and hung
about his breast and shoulders white as
snow. He carried the same crooked staff.
and evidently had ON the same suit Of
clothes.
In reply to inquiries he said that the
night he left Bath he heard voices inside

OUR SYSTEM OF ASSESSMENTS.

Hon. J. B. Jeup, of Nashville, has ad-
dressed communication to the Finance
Committee of the House, upon the ques-
tons to be passed upon by them during
this session. 1t is all able document, and
we wish We had space Ito give it in full.
Upon the question of assessments, Mr..
Jeup says:
The County Court, composed of the diff
ferent magistrates of the county, has to
appoint the assessors of the several civil
districts. Now, / have no doubt that
there are large number of excellent mag
istrates in the State of Tennessee, but un-
der the prevailing old system good many
of these officials dispose of the assessment
question in a most simple and unceremo.
Nous manner. In the first place they
appoint themselves as assessors; in the
second place they make their valuations
by copying, with some alterations here
and there an antediluvian assessment list,
taking good care not to impair their popu-
hrity and chance for reelection as magis
trates by unpleasantly high assessments;
and, in the third place, these magistrate
assessors meet again in County Court, act
ing as board of equalization, where they
pass upon their own conduct and vote
their own pay. OF course they approve of
everything they have done, and will make
alterations only by reducing assessments
i'm order to please complainers; but who
takes care of the interests of the State in
the thousands of cases where the valua-
ton is by far too low? Nobody. These
magistrates, in their trinity, remind one
strongly of the Turkish Pasha, with three
/ horse-tails and unlimited power.
According to the message of His Excel
iency, Governor John G. Brown, all the
property In the State of Tennessee amounts
in value to $500, 900, 900. This estimate is
based upon the statistics Of the United
States Government The last report of
Comptroller Pennebecker, however, shows
that under the present assessment system,
the magistrste assessors Of Tennessee have
found out property to the amount of two
hundred and seyenty-two millions. What
is the cause of this large discrepancy be-
tween the two valuations? Simply our
outworn and outrageously defective assess
ment system which affords our magistrates
such splendid chances for showing their
liberality In the financial affairs of the
State. And what are the prospects of the
future? Why, the same report OF Comp
troller Pennebecker exhibits decrease In
the valuation of property for the year 1872,
as compared with the valuation for 1871,
of s.. 800, 668 90. - ~ i.-a tr--
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1873-01-21

WE do not believe that any considerable
number of the people of this State, will
endorse Congressman Whitthorne's prop
osition to abolish the taxes on whisky and
tobacco altogether, and raise what revenue
is required from internal sources, from
railroads, banks, &c. We bebieve 1t q
sound principle in political economy that
taxes the necessaries of life as lightly as
possible, and depends upon lukuries for
the bulk of the revenue. Railroads and
banks are necessary mediums through
which the commerce of the country is to
be kept up, and all the people will feel the
weight of any burden that is placed upon
them. This is SO to a limited extent, at
least. Banks and railroads might be re-
quired to pay portion of the required
revenue, but to entirely abolish the tax Oh
whisky and tobacco would certainly be a
very foolish measure and one which the
people would not approve. We are in
favor of modification of the tobacco tax
law, and have no doubt but that it will be
modified, but the public interest does not
require that it be entirely abolished.

The CeKan & Dickinson Claim.

. There were millions of dollars worth of
cotton used by the Union army during. the
the enemy, for the reason that its resist
ance to shot and shell was very great, and
it's convenience was an additional reason
for its employment. Thus far no claims
for payment for the cotton have been paid:
The Senate, however, has passed bill
giving sec, 600 to Cowan & Dickinson, OF
Tennessee, for cotton belonging to them
used in the notifications at Knoxville,
Tennessee. Their loyalty was abundantly
established, and the House Committee of
Claims to-day agreed to the bill, reducing
the amount to $4,000. This case is re-
garded as new phase of the latter claims.

WE desire on behalf of Mr.. Rule to ten
der his thanks to the Press and Herald for
Its opposition to him during the late can
vass. 1t is now universally understood in
the city and county that the candidates
specially championed by the Press and
Herald are always doomed to defeat. The
result of Saturdays election is only anoth-
er evidence of that fact,
