come, however, when we may at least
consider this important matter
Congress, in obedience to the well de

that no music should he introduced into

REDUCING TAXES.
How TO DO Nc and Where to BE

[Chattanooga Times J

AAAAASosJ
There is legitimate mode of reducing
the burdens OF taxation. This mode the
Times has, in season and out of season,
pointed out tn its readers As matters
now stand, the Taxpayers are bled at
every turn to enrich lot of useless offcI
ais, and to pay the expenses of private
litigation. IF by some pohtco-hydraulic
pressure our Offices, particularly county
offices, could be condensed to about half
their present number and capacity for
absorbing public funds. the load of taxa
ton would be perceptibly lightened, and
the forty cent tax, now necessary to carry
on the State government, SO much the
less felt as a burden.
Suppose, for instance, that having es-
tabished proper system of checks and
balances, the offices of Trustee and Tax
Collector we're consolidated, and call
the official County Treasurer Even
under the present plan, will some one be
kind enough to inform US what earthly
use there is in paying one man a round
salary to collect the taxes, and another
a round salary to deposit the money in
bank and check it out? Then wipe out
the Office of County Clerk, and make the
Judge of the County Court do his own
clerking, at cost of less than half the
two offices, as at present conducted.
And so we might go through the list of
county officials, great and small, to find
that one-half of them are only sinecures
that ought to be abolished.
If we go into the domain OF State Ad-
miRistration, we find very few sinecures;
but we shall discover that our jury sys-
TEN badly needs remodeling The ex-
penses for criminal prosecutions are
enormous. They should reduced at
least one-half In fact, our entire judi
cial system might, we think, he so re
modelled as to reduce its expenses very
largely, and a. the same time discourage,
or effectually prevent, nearly ell the
senseless, useless, litigation that now
crowds our dockets, and some of the main
burdens of which the taxpayers at large
have TO bear; while it benefits nobody,
except some cheap lawyers, who get out
of their impoveri he'd clients an occasion
al fee.
But, efter all, the places to begin tax
reform are the counties and municipal
ties. And these are grievous burdens,
principally because so large a slice of the
money paid in taxes goes into the pockets
of officials who render 10 adequate SER
vice for what they get.

Democracy.

ever lost to them if the civil rights bill

made the other day by Radical Senator
to amend the Constitution by compelling
every State to support public schools, but
such an amendment will never be adopt

that such an attempt should be made,
however. There will never be an end to
Radical tyranny until the party is demol

iniquitous measure will be followed by
another more iniquitous.

The Montgomery Resolutions.

The following resolutions, passed at a
Democratic meeting in Montgomery
| County, has received many commcnda
tions for their soundness.
Resolced, That it is the duty of all
| good citizens to make united effort to
| secure the most competent and reliable
men for office, that the laws may be exc.
cuted impartially, and the burdens of
| taxation be distributed equally among
| all classes.
Second-That the people of Montgom-
| cry county will require the most rigid
| economy in the administration of the
| offices of the State, and will comdem n
any system of taxation that will bring
| to the treasury larger sum of money
| than will be absolutely necessary TO
pay the expenses of government, and to
preserve the credit Cf the State. But
believing that sound policy and COM
mon honesty equally require that the
credit of the State shall be preserved by
the payment of the interest upon the
public debt, and unwilling to cast upon
our children the whole burthen of its
payment, the people will condemn any
revenue system that leaves the payment
of the interest not provided for.
Third-That tagation should be equal
and uniform, and no one species Of
property be taxed higher than another.
Fourth-That we recognise the equal
ity, before the law of all citizens, and
that in the selection of candidates for
Office, capacity and honesty shall be the
tests of merit, without regard TO nation
atty or former political predictions
Fifth-That all efforts to array one
race or class against another are odious
to the genius of the American govern
ment, detructive of public peace. and
prosperity, and subyersive of Republican
institutions,
Sixth-That the agricultural and me-
chanical interests of our country are the
foundation of its prosperity, and that
wisdom aud justice demand that these
interests shall be protected against the
exactions of mOnopolies, and should be
fostered by judicious legislation.

HEARTak ENDING.
Sudden Depth in n Tennessee
Family i'm Arkansas

From Wayne County (Tenn.) Citizen.l
We learn from authority that we deem
reliable that Bennette Kyle and two OF
his children, mot their deaths by accidents
within thirty minutes of the same time a
few days ago in Arkansas Mr.. Kyle re
moved to the State of Arkansas several
years ago, where he was residing with
his family, consisting of wife and two
children at the time of the sad affair. 1t
seems that Mr.. Kyle had gone to assist a
neighbor in raising house, and his wife
was washing at the creek a short dis
lance from the house. having the young
est with her, and the other being left at
home to take care of the house. Some
time after Mrs Kyle had gone from the
house she heard her Oldest child scream
ing, and knowing that there must be
something the matter she ran to the
house, where sight net her eyes that
must have chilled her blood with horror.
A huge rattlesnake had fastened its enor'
nous fangs in the arm of the child and
was still hanging to it, and it is supposed
that owing to the hooked shape of the
fangs, it was unable to disengage itself
The lady killed the snake and returned
hurriedly to bring her baby to the house,
but here she was destined to behold an
other horror equal to the frst-her child
had fallen into tub of water during her
absence and was drowned. Frantic with
terror and griefshe ran after her hus-
band, who hearing her shrieks, attempted
to come down from the wall of a house
on which he was at work, but in the ex-
element of the moment he fell, pulling
| down with him an immense piece of tim
Der which fell on him kiIlipo hin, inCfantI,-
On going to the house the neighbors
found the child bitten by the snake
dead. 1t was a scene rarely ever wit
messed before. The grief of the heart
broken mother is said to have been be-
yond the power of man to describe. If
our information be true, this is one of
the saddest affairs we have ever heard of.
Mr.. Kyle was well known in this country
many years ago, and had many friends
and relatives here who will be shocked to
hear of his terrible fate.

We publish to-day the social rights bill
as it passed the Senate of the United
State Iuasmuch as the Senate is more
intensely Radical than the House of
Representatives, some indulge the hope
that the latter body will not pass the
Senate bill We think this is a vain hope
as the Republican leaders have made it
party measure, and a test Of loyalty to
the party. Equally vain is the hope that
the President will veto the measure. He
Is known TO be opposed to the school
feature of the bill, but will not dare to
veto IL, because to do so would ruin him
with his party. His party were nearly
equally divided on the iinan cial question.
hence he risked nothing in vetoing the
Senate imitation bill This civi | right
bill, we print to-day-is properly
called by Senator BRowNLow "the sum
of all viilanies. 1t is the climax of ali
the measures which the Radical party has
plagued the South with since the war.
The South is more distinct and diff
ferent in its social and political rsla
tions from the North than any two nation
OF Europe are. Laws that are the essence
Of tyranny and cruelty to US are not felt
by the North, because of the difference
in the social and political relations of
the two countries. If it were not SO, the
Radical party would not dare to pass its
ubiquitous laws. Neg oes are so scarce
in the Northern States that the passage
OF the social rights bilLwill not bring the
trouble it will in the South, where the
negro element is almost as large as the
white element. Ifthere were five million
blacks in the Northern States, the pass
age of the social rights bill by the Rad
ical party would kill it beyond the hope
of resurrection. But the Radical leaders
know that this bill cannot affect North
crn society, and they hate the South so
heartily that they cannot forego the pleas
ure of humiliating her as far as possible
1t is worth serious study TO note how
y,srsistentlv the North has afflicted the
South with the most humiliating, hateful
and unnecessary laws. and watch how pa
tisutlv the noble sufferer has submitted to
iyall. lhc history Of mankind furnishes no
parallel 10 it. even among the rUdest bar
hanans. Our history since tGe war has
