The Bank OF Tennessee.

A writer in the Nashville Union
and American says in reference TO
the appeal to the Supreme Court in
the "TOrbett Issue" case:
The State has no right 10 either
prosecute or dismiss the appeal, as
she has dismissed herself out of the
case and declines TO be bound by
the decree.
1t is the interest of the State that
a decision of all questions relating
to the Bank of Tennessee be made
speedily-ss the Bank cannot be
wound up until the validity of the
new issue is settled, as all the debt
ors plead a tender of it when sued.
Until the debts due the Bank are
collected the State can get nothing
on the School fund, which she claims
as a preferred debt in the Banks as
signment.

Last year the negroes in parts of
Shelby county, outside of Memphis,
determined to rent land and Jarm
on their own account, in accordance
with orders issued by the benevo-
lent societies; well, they tried the
experiment, and it was a brilliant
failure. They rented and had it all
their own way for a whole year, and
came out sadly in the vOcative. The
end of the year found most of them
in debt, and without a dollar ahead,
or a good suit of clothes. This year
they are quite ready TO work on
shares, provided any body will fur
nish them provisions, mules, whis-
ky and other necessaries of life
Farmers are beginning to make their
summer arrangements, and have
less trouble than ever before. 1t is
likely that in most cases there will
be no difficulty in making contracts
that will be equitable and satisfac-
tory on all sides. The labor ques-
ton is gradually becoming under
stood, and reduced to a just and
practical basis, on which both sides
can have a fair chance to make rea-
sonable terms.-Aenl. Ledger.

A ESTION TO OUR LAW
MAX ERS.

Last week we discussed the cause
of the Tax decrease in certain coun-
ties as shown in the ComptrOller's
report, and also suggested a RENE
dy. That the Tax assessments of
~, so far as nearly all those coun-
ties were concerned, was shameful
ly incorrect, no one can for a mo-
ment doubt, and that the law is it.
self directly to blame, is unques-
tlonably true. Under the law as it
now stands, few men will incur the
displeasure of his neighbors by a
conscientious discharge OF his duty
as Tax assessor, and those few are
invariably rendered powerless by
the reports of other assessors. Now
to remedy this growing evil, an evil
by which prosperous counties are
disgraced and emigration turned
from their doors, the State defraud-
ed out of millions Of dollars annu-
ally, and unequal taxes imposed;
to remedy this dangerous evil we
suggest a law, creating the Office Of
county assessor, to be appointed by
the County Court Of each county
to servo term of six years or du-
ring good behavior-whose duty it
shall be to assess all the State and
county taxables. From the report
of the assessor, should any citizen
feel himself aggrieved, or think any
other citizen had been under-taxed,
let an appeal lie to jury of equali-
zers appointed by the Court, who
shall finally determine all such APP
peals. For his services let the as
SCISSOR be we'll paid, and the Office
such a one as the best citizens will
aspire to hold. Such is an abstract
of the Jaw we would suggest, and
we hope it will be carefully investi-
gated by our legislators. What the
State and the people want, is equal
taxes. Now many counties pay
more taxes in proportion to actual
value of taxables than others, which
is. wrong and should not be tolera-
ted. Justice TO the people as well
as to the State, demands law by
which taxes can be equalized. The
one we suggest will accomplish this,
aud should become law.

message to Congress, in view of the
danger of conflict of authority be-
tween the Federal and the Terrific
rial Courts Of Utah, in which he re-
commends such legislation a. will
prevent the Probate and other Ter
ritorial Courts from interfering with
and impeding justice before Fede-
raj Courts, and also place the Selec-
ton of jurors under the Federal,
rather than Territorial law. Under
the present system, the Probate
Courts of the Territory can dis
charge prisoner under the writ of
habeas corpus from the custody of
Federal officers; while the jury laws
are such a. to prevent the enforce
ment of any law obnoxious to the

there is danger of a serious conflict
of authority during the coming re-
cess, if these matters are not pro-
vided for by ap Dropriate legislation

The Wing and Tribune of last
week has the following about our
Senator:
"Mr. oulter is lawyer of dis
tinguished ability, of large prac-
tice; and his experience and obser-
walton as a lawyer. is no doubt the
parent of the bills he has intro
duced."
This is news to us here where Mr..
Coulter is we'll known. He was
born in the county in which the
Wing and Tribune is published, was
educated and has resided, the most
of his Ii c, in West Tennessee, and
if he has so much as an attorneys
license, we never heard of it.
WE clip the above from the Tren-
ton Gazette, and will only say that
if Mr.. Coulter is not lawyer, ne
might very easily be, if wanted to.
Whether he is lawyer or not, the
bill he has introduced Is worthy of
the brain of any lawyer in the legis-
lature, and it ought to pass.
