The Supreme Court and the Col
era in Knoxville.

From the chattanooga Times, Sept. g.
For what the Judges have deemed
good and sufficient reasons, they have
announced that they would not hold
full term of the Supreme Court in
Knoxville this fall. One of the rea-
sons-we may say the controlling one
was, that cholera was more or less
prevalent in different parts of East
Tennessee, and that the assembling
of a considerable number of persons
at any given point in that locality,
many of whom must, of necessity,
come from the afflicted localities,
weuld be an imprudence, not to say
crime, because it might provoke an
outbreak of the malady. Their hon
ors were further moved to this resolu-
ton by the urgent appeals OF leading
lawyers to them not to hold the ses-
sion for the reasons above stated,
and moreover, because a number of
isolated cases of cholera had appear
ed in Knoxville, and several deaths
had resulted therefrom during the
months of July and August, notably in
the latter mouth. This prudent reso-
luton has thrown both our Knoxville
cotemporaries into spasms of rage.
And strange to say they blame every
body but the judges. They don't
stop to consider that the lawyers are
partly, and their own reports of the
existence of the cholera in their city,
are principally, the moving cause for
the resolution of the judges, not to
expose themselves and herd their le-
gal brethren to the dangers incident
to a possible outbreak of cholera in
Knoxville during the month of Sep
TENDER. And here we may remark en-
PEASANT, that the only cholera epidem-
ic Knoxville ever experienced was in
September, and that this, too, had its
influence in bringing the judges to
their conclusion to adjorun the court
to more favorable season.

Was the Assessment Law Pass
ed COnstitutionally.

EDITOR Examiner In the ''Exami-
ners of the 10th instant, is contained
a decision pronounced by the SUI
preme court of Tennessee, deciding
all laws on the subject of Tax sales
of land repealed by certain provisions
in what is called the assessment law
passed by the General Assembly of
Tennessee, and that all future sales
of lands for taxes, without regard to
the time when the taxes were assessed,
must be sold under the act of 1878.
The Supreme Court is the right
full guardian of the Constitution and
should guard, protect and defend it
against all violation by the Legisla-
ture.
Constitution, End Article Sec. II,
no bill shall become a law which
embraces more than one subject, that
subject to be expressed in the title.
All Aots which repeal, revive or amend
former laws, shall recite in the cap
iOa or otherwise, the title or sub
stance of the law repealed, revived or
amended"
The assessment law of 1878, is clear
ly q violation of the above clause of
the Constitution. Three seperate
distinct subjects, are embraced in the
assessment law. LIST, the assessment,
Ind, tho lsvying Poll tax of one dol
lar IN lieu of fifty cents. 3rd, the
subject Of the sale of lands for taxes.
Neither the End nor the 3rd subjects
embraced in the bill are mentioned
IN the caption or title of the act.
This may be small matter. The OBJ
lest Of inserting that section in the
constitution was 20 prevent combina-
HoRs nom passing Omnibus bills.
de- noe propose 70 argue the question,
Sat, aAeeoly TO call your attention to

tgtssle. G. w. ].

Who WAS THE HANGMAN?-The arti-
cles of Ex-Governor FOote, and the let
tiers of Secretary of War Belknap,
Judge Advocate General Holt, Secre-
of War Bingham, ex-Attorney-GeDe err
al Speed, and others, on the Mrs. Sur
raft murder, place eX-President An
drew Johnson in most unenviable
position before the American people.
The ex-President cannot afford to re-
main silent any longer, and his answer
to these terrible charges is annously
awaited. The lPittsburg Post truly
remarks: eft now remains for An
drew Johnson to explain his position
in the Mrs. Surratt murder. He per
mitted the story to go forth that a pc
tition signed by five members Of the
Board, asking him to commute the
sentence of death, had never been
presented to him. 1t is not denied
that Annie Surratt, her daughter, was
prevented an interview. She was ac-
companied by Mrs Stephen A. Dong
las, who appealed on her knees to see
President Johnson. Perhaps now
that beginning has been made in
developing the secret history of this
atrocious murder, we shall get all the
facts, and although they may reflect
upon the dead, they may come to vim
dictate truth. Let US have the facts.

A QUIET LIFE.
Slowly, steadily, under the MOON
cr..inn,a The fihe- I'm its old time way

Slowly, steadily, under the moon,
swings the tide, in its old time way;
Never too late, and never TOO soon
And the evening and morning make the
day.
Slowly, steadily, over the sands,
And over the rocks, to fall and now,
And this wave has touched dead mans
hands,
And that one has seen face we know.
They have borne the good ship on her way,
Or buried her deep from love and light;
And yet, as they sink at our feet to-day.
All, who shall interpret their message
Alright,
For their separate voices OF grief and cheer
Are binding at last in one solemn tone;
And only this song Of the wave hear.
..Foreyer and ever His will is done"
slowly, steadily, to and fro,
Swings our life in It's cary way;
Now at its ebb, and now at its flow
Aud the evening and morning make the
day.
Sorrow and happiness, peace and strife,
Fear and rejoicing, its moments know
How, from the discords Of such life,
Can the clear music Of heaven flow
Yet to the ear of God it swells,
And to the blessed round the throne,
Sweeter than the chimes Of Sabbath bells
Forever and ever His will is donel'

The weekly Arizona miner., 1873-07-26

The San Francisco Mining and Scientific Press, in commenting on the present attitude of Apaches in Arizona, as referred to in the Tucson Citizen, closes an able article in these words:
 We want to see rapid settlement of this Indian question in Arizona, as 1t is without doubt, one of the richest Territories in the United States in mineral wealth. Men are now sitting idly on dumps of ore worth thou sands of dollars, which are of no value to them, as there arc no mills to crush it, and capitalists will not invest in the country while Indian disturbances are so frequent and dangerous. The fact that the mines now there can afford to ship ore, over rough and circuitous route at great expense, to this city for reduction, Is sufficient guarantee of the mineral wealth of the Territory. and an indi- cation of what could be done under favor able circumstances.

Letter from Cerbat.

CERBAT, Arizona, July 20, 1873.
 About the 2Oth of June last, a party left Cerbat to prospect in Cedar valley district, where they spent several days and started to return. Wm. France, one of the party, got ready before the rest and rode of, saying he would wait for them on top of the mount ain. He had previously stated that he knew of a shorter route than the one they went out on. The party followed the regular trail and ar rived at Cerbat without seeing Mir. F., but did not feel uneasy about him, as he claimed to be able to take care of himself any W here, but, few days ago his mule came in alone, and Mir. F's friends at once became alarmed. fearing that he had got lost in the mountains and they at once hired Indians to take the trail and hunt him up. Nothing has been heard of him to this date, and as the Indians have not returned it is believed that he per ished for want of water after losing his way
 Mir. France came to Mobave in 1863 with John Moss and R. Garvey, and in attempt. ing to go across the country to Prescott with Mir. Garvey, got lost near Walapai noun tains and lived on mule meat for several days. Mir. F's relatives live in San Bernardino, Cal ifornia.
