The extracts which we publish to-
day, from letters of Judges and Dis
trict Attorneys to the Comptroller,
show that those officials are impressed
with the Importance of doingsomething
to relieve the State from the heavy bur-
dens borne because of the immense ex-
pense of criminal prosecutions. 1t is a
subject in which the taxpayers of the
State should feel an interest. They are
literally groaning under the weight of
their taxes; and yet, but few, but very
few, know that SO large proportion of
every dollar they pay goes to pay wit
nesses, jurors and officials in criminal
cases. About twenty thousand dollars
a month the people Of Tennessee pay
for costs in felony cases. For INSIDE
meanOrs, it is probable that they
pay into the county treasures nearly
as much. Is there no remedy for this?
Who 50 competent to suggest it to the
public and through the public to the
next General Assembly as the Judges
and District Attorneys who are daily
engaged in the criminal law? But we
need not wait until the next legislature
for all relief. This convention of
Judges can afford much by establish
ing uniform rules in the taxation Of
costs, by adopting more rigid rules of
practice and by determining to enforce
more promptly the criminal laws. If
they do nothing more than fxedly re-
solve to help the Comptroller in the
work of retrenchment and reform, they
will accomplish great good. 1t is not
to be expected that all crime can be
checked or all costs avoided. but the
work can be begun and partial relief at
least be afforded. 1t is gratifying to
know that not only the Judges but the
people are becoming aroused upon this
subject.

TAX REFORM.
=. From the Courier-Journal,


We have already called public atten-
ton to some of the defects in our sys-
tenn of taxation. We have pointed out
the fact that our annual deficits may
be attributed to a number of causes,
some of which we have specified. We
claim no originality in the matter, for
the discovery of these evils has been
continued from year to year, and in
some instances remedied. A great loss
to our revenue was in the non-assess-
ment Of large tracts of land througout
the State and the failure Of the asses
sors to require the listing of personal
property. Although the law re-
quires each tax payer to list his
property and to verify it by his oath,
so far as we can learn the listing of
property and the verifying of the same
by oath is not generally required by
assessors, and is the exception rather
than the rule contemplated by the law.
Another and still more serious loss to
our revenue is in the differentiation of
property throughout the State of Ken
lucky. Jefferson county is the only
one in the State showing a fair and
lawful assessment; and no remedy of
this evil has yet been effected. Until
the passage of the act of the last Leg
islature authorizing the sale of real es-
tate for taxes, a stubborn owner might
laugh the tax-gatherer to scorn, and
enjoy his property for years without
paving a cent towards the support of
the government.
Aonther feature of our system of tax
alton is the extensive list of valuable
property exempt all over the State.
This question of exemption from taxa
ton is a serious one, and one engaging
the attention of public men all over our
country. The subject has been present
ed for consideration to the constitution
al conventions now in session in several
of the States, and has occasioned good
deal of discussion and not little con-
trariety Of opinion. Whether it is
best to foster certain institutions by
exemption from the general burden of
taxation, or make all property, without
regard to its purposes, pay its fair pro-
portion of public expense, are the con-
siderations involved. MOur constitution
declares that no man or set of men are
entitled to separate privileges from the
community but in consideration of
public services. Exemption from taxa
ton is certainly separate privilege
from the rest of the community, but in
what consists public services has never
been very clearly defined by our jurists.
Our list of exemptions is undoubtedly
very comprehensive.

THE NEW CHURCH MOVEMENT.

The Rev. DR.. Cheney, Of Chicago,
who assisted in the organization of the
Reformed Episcopal Church in New
York, preached to his congregation on
Sunday concerning the new organiza-
ton. His effort is represented as an at
tempt to show that the conflict between
the high church and the low church
parties in the Episcopal denomination
was an irrepressible one, and that the
movement which was inaugurated at
New York was the only course left for
the members of the latter party. The
speaker also argued that this move
ment, instead of being schismatic, was
an effort in the direction Of unity, and
held out the promises of a coming to-
gether of all Protestant Christians who
recognize the considerations in favor OF
a liturgical service. He says that If
his congregation dissent he will accept
the Office of Bishop, to which he was
elected, although he will continue as
rector of the Christ Church. He does
not expect that the new movement Will
grow very rapidly, but he has full faith
that it will eventually bring in a large
number of clergy and laity. Rev. DIR
Powers, rector of St. Johns Church.
Chicago, is understood to sympathize
with Cheney, though his church has nc
intention of joining the movement, at
least at present.

ELAINE ASp ms ooMmrrrEEs.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Nea0 York Sus says there are good
reasons for believing that Speaker
Blaine was forced to make some i'm
portant changes in the composition of
the standing committees Of the House
of Representatives shortly before an
nouncing them, and that if he could
have safely done so, he would have sac
rifced Garfield, Dawes, Kelley and
Schofeld. This correspondent adds:
Neither of the men whose political
life was in his hand are in any sense
dangerous as enemies. They have no
moral courage, and would have submit
ted to the knife without a struggle.
All this MIR. Blaine knew perfectly well,
and would have acted upon it had there
not been another side which the public
cannot see Just now, but which it will
ere long look upon with much amaze
ment. There were other parties who
had interests to be subserved, and who
were determined that Mr.. Blaine
should not disregard them. They had
him in a wise, and he knew it. The Ill
timatum was announced, and Mr.
Blaine did not dare to be fearless,
Some chickens come home to
roost when least expected.
''As to the composition of the other
committees, if certain interests which
are represented here to-day by certain
powerful Hobbies had had the arrange
ment of those to whom they look for
aid and support, they would not have
scratched name on the list the Speak
er submitted to-day. Take, for in
stance, the Washington Ring and the
Committee ON Appropriations. Gar
field, Hale Of Maine, Wheeler Of New
York, O'Neil of Pennsylvania, Stark
weather of Connecticut, and Swami of
Maryland belong to them. They own
an equal number of the Committee on
the District of Columbia. The Com
mittee on Banking and Currency is
such as the national banks ardently de-
sired. There are men on it who will
not serve any master, but they are
powerless.

Mr.. Maynard's RiII.

Mr.. Maynard'S RIII.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S-Under the some
what unexpected lead of Mr.. Maynard, of
Tennessee, the House by an overwhelming
vote, passed a bill to repeal the test or iron
clad oath of 1862, and to remove all re-
naming political disabilities imposed by
the Fourteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition. isgenerally believedthatthem
ure will pass the Senate. Very few individ-
uals are still under disabilities, probably not
two hundred, all told, the last general bill
passed by Congress some years ago having
relieved about one hundred and fifty
thousand persons. OF those still under dis
abilities, hardly any would desire to re-
enter public life, most of them being men,
bers of the old army and navy, and having
no prediction for politics. The most
prominent civilians now disenfranchised
are Jefferson Davis, Of Tennessee, Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, Lewis T. Wigfall,
now of Baltimore, John H. Reagan, of
Texas, James Chestnut, of South Carolina,
Thomas S. Bocock. of Virginia, Hon. John
n. Campbell, eX-Judge of the United
States Supreme Court and John G. Brock
inridge, of Kentucky. Among the military
and naval men are Gen. Hood, Gen. Jlrbal
A. Early, Gen. G. w. Gusts Lee, Gen.
Geo. Pickett, Commodore Semmes,
Capt. Brooke, the inventor of the system
of deep sea sOundingS; Gen. Joe Johnston
and others Of less note. The passage of
this bill by the House by so large a vote,
taken in connection with the unusual re-
spect and attention accorded to such prom
inent eX-ConfederateS as Hon. Alex. II.
Stephens and Hon. L. Q. c. Lamar, is the
strongest indication given by Republicans
since the war of return to a rational feel
ing and policy. 1t is reported on good au-
thOrity that prominent members of the Adj
ministration have said that in the event of
a foreign war commands would be offered
to the leading military men of the South,
and it is apparent that the day has come
when Southern statesmen, who are ready TO
act on the basis of the Union as a finality,
will find fair reception in the public
councils.

From the ST. Louis Republican.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE National

1T may be positively announcedthat
Minister Sickles will soon retire from
Madrid. This action is not the direct
result of unfriendly relations growing
ont of the diplomatic negotiations be-
tween the United States and Spain: 1t
is rather the result of Gen. Sickles
own action, and the consequence of the
construction placed by him upon the
manner in which negotiations have
been carried on. 1t is unofficially an
nounced that his intercourse with the
Spanish foreign Office has been OF such
. character as to impair his usefulness;
and II is believed this will be the cause

THE Ne,v York Sun says: One OF
the latest innovations in Washington
is to be seen in the House of Repre-
sentatives, where a special part of the
gallery has just been set aside for the
families of members of Congress ex-
clusively, in imitation of and near that
assigned to the diplomatic body. If
this separation from the people means
anything, it is an attempt to draw a
line of distinction, to set up a superior
class, and to look down upon the con-
stituency. This is the sort of repubh-
canism which the so-called Republican
party practises at Washington, and 1t
IS a very bad sort.

wonld be utterly defeated, after Blame
has appointed Credit Mobiiers and

By the amnesty proclamations of
Presidents Lincoln and Johnson to the
Southern Confederates it was expressly
stipulated that it carried restoration
to all rights of property. We havehad
a late case under it. Thomas j. Will
liams was an old officer of the United
States army, in which he served as a
Lieutenant. For his services in the
army there was back-pay due him.
While the debt was pending he enlisted
and served in the Confederate army.
But the Attorney General, Williams,
of Oregon, lately, appointed by Grant
Chief Justice Of the United States,
decided against him; Williams holding
that by his participation IN the rebel
hon his claim against the Government
had ceased If it had it was revived, as
we have said, blythe amnesty proclama-
ton. This indicates the al1imus Of the
fourth-rate Oregon lawyer whom the
President would hoist into the seat
once occupied by Marshall, fancy and
Chase. We hope the United States
Senate will save us from disgrace by
rejecting his northumberland
