NOT DEAD-HEADS.

It may not be generally known,
but we have good authority for say
ing it is nevertheless true, that soon
after the present Judges of the Su-
preme Court were elected, q free
pass over the railroads running to
the points at which they held their
courts, was rendered, but very re-
specially, and we may add, very
properly, the whole court declined
accepting the favor. And here comes
in those conundrums We have here
tofore propounded, and which have
so signally failed in eliciting an an
swer from any of the newspaper pos
SCISSORS of the dead-hedd passes If
services are rendered by a railroad
company, why not pay for them? Is
it justice to the stockholders in any
company that they should pay for
travelling on the road, and yet
men who are entirely unknown
to tie great bulk Of those who gave
their money to build it can have a
free pass because of some peculiar
favor done some Of the principals of |
the road?
The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1874-03-04

and large customers of the road, as
IS frequently the case? They GER
tainly pay the road more money in
a year than would a dozen or two
country editors in lifetime-in the
way Of timetables and what not.
Depend upon it, this dead-head
system is an abuse, and one that,
sooner or later, will be corrected by
the strong hannd of Public Opinion.
In these hastily written remarks,
| have only considered the subject
in its application to editors but
the same considerations should APP
ply to legislators. In these times
of corruption, in high places, it is
simply scandalous for a member of
the Legislature or of Congress to
accept free pass on railroad
which may have IAN ak to grind on
that particular legislators grind
stone.
You, sir, deserve the thanks of
the people for the noble stand you
have taken on this question; and l
hope the day is not far distant when
neither editors nor Legislators will
dare to ride on a railroad without
paying his fare, as honest men ought
to do; and when the offer Of y free
pass to either class will be resented
as an insult. The railroad might as
well endorse on the back Of all such
given as a matter of ceur-
tesy, i. E., in consideration of the
holders fighting for us through thick
and thin--right or wrong"

RAILROAD DAMAGE SUIT
COMPROMISED

The two actions of trespass, COM
monty known as damage suits John
Pryde VS. the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia Railroad, and
Annie E. Pryde VS. the East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, }
brought by the plaintiffs, Pryde and
h is daughter. in the Circuit Court Of
uamblen county, for injuries re-
ceived in a railroad smash-up which
occurred on the railroad this side of
Greeneville, a year or two since,
have been removed from the docket
by compromise. It will be remem-
bered that Pryde and his daughter
were passengers on the train at the
time of the accident and run of, and
both were severely injured-the
daughter especially. For these in
juries, suits for damages were re-
spectively brought by the plaintiffs,
through their lawyers, Messrs. Shields
& NetherIand. Very recently the
Railroad Company have succeeded
in compromising the suits by paying
Col. Pryde $4,000, in full Of his
damages, and $4,000 to his daughter
in full of her damages. The $4,000
damages to Col. Pryde, we learn,
has been paid to him in cash, and
the Company's note for $4,000 has
been executed and given to her at
torney. Jas. T. Shields, Esq, for the
benefit of Miss Annie Z. Pryde.

LUCK OR LAW.

The Supreme Court of the State
has come to a dead lock as regards
the right Of the Legislature to i'm
pose an occupation tax on lawyers.
srThe Judges are equally divided in
opinion, and it is not likely that the
Court can agree upon the question
until it is reduced to FIVE Judges
the number fixed by the Constitution
after the first vacancy" So says
the Union and american. So then,
TO settle what is law, depends in all
probability on the death of one of
our present Court. 1t is very much
to be regretted that a question of
so much Importance is to be decided
by luck, If the law has failed. Then
again, it is unfortunate that law is
now depending on the brittle thread
OF life which holds together all that
Is mortal of one of the Supreme
Judges. If Judge A. dies first, then
che act is contrary to the Constitu-
ton of the State of Tennessee.
But If Judge b. dies first, then the
act of the Legislature is not in con-
dict with that sacred instrument
Che Constitution Of Tennessee. In
the meantime. what is Comptroller
Burch going to do ab-ut it? Will
he tell the officers who collect oocu
patton tax, to wait till one of the
judges of the Supreme Court dies,
before he attempts to enforce the
law which makes it imperative on
linn to tax lawyers? We repeat
Bulwers conundrum-"What will
he do with it

FREEDOM OF DISCUSSION.

FREEDOM OF DISCUSSION.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The bold and independent position
assumed by you on the much abused
question of free passes from railroads.
commands the approval of all good
citizens who wish to see destroyed
the baneful and corrupt influences
fastened upon the vitals Of the peo-
pie by railroad rings. Our own peo-
pie and our division of the State has
suffered immensely from the work
ings of these rings, run IN the inter-
est of a chosen few, to the sacrifice
of the public good and the general
welfare and prosperity OF the people.
With your permission propose,
from time to time, to expose some
of these evils and enlighteu the pub
lie upon some of the questions of
grave moment to them that have
heretofore been kept dark by subsi-
dizing the press, at least in some
quarters. to an extent that has kept
the public from knowing the facts.
Let the light shine forth-let the
truth come-let facts be presented
to the public. All good men should
not fear these. 1t is the Belshazzars
only that need to tremble
