Montgomery county bonds, 73c.
GAINESVILLE bonds, 75c.
Montgomery county warrants, 90c.
Montgomery county Jury tickets, 75c.
The late appreciation of Tennessee bonds
is the result of combination of causes.
The payment to the State of railroad in
debtedness in these bonds, the belief of the
public that the present legislature will do
something to strengthen State credit, the
exhaustion of much of the Tennessee
bank notes in the payment of taxes, and
the increased general prosperity of the peo-
pie of the State, have all had some infiu-
ence in producing the recent advance. For,
while few may concede it, yet 1t is true that
our people are in a better condition, finan-
cially, at this date than at any previous
time since the war. On every hand there Is
evidence of prosperity and successful en-
terprise. There is an increase in the money
circulating among us now, over what there
was two years ago. The people are better
prepared to pay taxes, and feel little more
relieved from the terrible incubus, which
the war, Brownlow and the carpet-baggers
fastened upon them. And these facts can
not fail to have some influence upon the
States credit. For, let brokers and specu-
lators manipulate our State bonds as they
may, any permanent advance in their price
depends upon the financial prosperity of
our people, and the prudent action of our
legislature.
With regard to the Torbett issue of Tonnes
see money the soundest opinion, and the one
likely to prevail, is that the legislature
should do nothing, and let the status of
that issue be decided by the courts, ifneces-

WE are pleased TO find that our views, in
reference TO reforming the Courts, meet the
hearty concurrence of tho intelligent and
thoughtful. Those who studiously endeav-
or to fix upon Courts and lawyers the sole
responsibility for the burdens imposed upon
the people, only mislead the public and re-
tard the progress of reform. Our position
is, that where there are no criminals there
need be no Criminal Court, and ifthe people
would only act honestly in all their bust
ness transactions, there would be no need for
Civil Courts. These two propositions are
self-evident and from them, the conclusion
is inevitable that the people are, them
selves, responsible for the taxation incident
to the proceedings of tine Courts. We adj
nit that the machinery may he so Simpli-
fed by the legislature as To lessen the cost
to the people, but thorough reform must be-
begin with the people. When there is no
violation OF the penal and civil code there
will be no COurticosts TO pay in the shape
of taxes, and in proportion as litigation is
diminished, Will taxes be lightened, but as
things now are, it is gross injustice to
make Courts and lawyers responsible for
the follies of the criminal and dishonest.

KENTUCKY ITEMS.

The town Of Carlisle, on the Mays
Vile and Lexington railroad, was
nearly destroyed by fire Saturday
night. Jan. 4. The total loss estimat-
ed at from sixty five to seventy thous-
and dollars. Most of the losses are
partially covered.
4 most outrageous, cold-blooded
murder is reported to have been per-
petrated in Butler county, a man by
the name of Joe. Owens having killed
young man name Hess.
There was a large attendance on
Wednesday of last week at the tobac-
co warehouse, in Russellville, at the
regular tqb8cco sale, and eleven hogs
heads were sold at the following
prices: $900, SO, SIS, SIS, T.45,
7.35. 7.05, sos, 80, 7.75, $50, 800.
The majority Of this tobacco was
low hugs.
1t is expected that a bill sill bs
passed at the present session Of the
legislature, to establish an additional
lunatic Asylum in Kentucky. The
necessity for another such institution
has become very great. The capacity
of the two asylums now existing-one
being at Hopkinsville and the other
at Lexington-is far from being equal
to the demand for accommodation.

COUNTY FINANCES.

We have not the space for the whole
of the annual report of the committee,
on the financial condition of the coun-
ty, and can only make room for the
concluding portion of said report, in
which they make the following re-
marks and suggestions:
"As respects the debt due from the
county to the sinking fund, for mon
eys drawn from that fund by Judge
King, for county purposes, paying
school warrants and other county liza
bilities. This amount, whatever it
may be, should be restored by the
county to the credit of the sinking
fund, to the end that justice should
be done to holders of county bonds
issued for railroad purposes, and that
the proper amounts may be kept, as
made and provided in case by State
laws and in accordance with resolu-
tons and ordinances passed by the
County Court. This arrangement Gre
ates no additional liabilities upon tax
payers. LII only places liabilities un-
der their proper heads.
We make the following suggestions,
that the system of assessing taxes
should have your special attention, as
the present system, in the opinion of
your committee, is radically wrong and
grossly defective. We also are of the
opinion, that the mode of collecting
taxes, would be improved by the APP
pointment of collector in each civil
district. We also, further suggest
the designation by the County Judge,
of some one whose dnty it shall be
to attend to purchasing all neces-
sary record books, believing that mon
ey will be saved thereby. Record
books for the county and its courts hav-
ing heretofore cost from 5000 to 5000
per annum. Your committee have
not been able, with the information
thus far obtained, to recommend or
reject proposition now canvassed, for
abOlishing the County Judgship. All
of which is respectfully submitted.
