sEAIL WE TAX OUR RAILROADS.

This question, which we asked some
time ago, has elected a more ready an
swer than we expected, and we are espe
cialIy gratified at the prompt and decided
tone of the Union and American, which
cnpied our article on that subject and
made the following remarks on the gene
raj subject of taxation;
Nearly ell our Stat exchanges that
have touched the subject, give an affirm
ot;ve answer. The Memphis LEDGE
notices the anomaly Of Pullman's pal
aces paying no taxes, though each o.
them is worth as much as q zoo acre
farm and earns, in the course OF year
much more ready money. This Is al
oversight almost objectionable, anc
affords q striking illustration of de-
feet in our general assessment system
We understand that the State officials
have called the attention of the county
authorities 10 this matter, as well as rail-
roads already liable to taxation, but
without effect. The trouble is that the
State officials have no means for correct
Ing erEOTS UT OmtcoiOho - 49, N-rJ
assessments, however glazing they may
be. The returns must be accepted as
they come up from the counties. In
his recent pamphlet on taxation and
assessment, Mr.. I. Williamson, member
of the last Legislature from Shelby, thus
alludes to this defect:
mo State in the Union stands more in
need Of good and efficient revenue and
assessment law than Tennessee. All
Tennessee can do is to await the yearly
assessment, accept of the valuation re-
turned by the assessors, and determine
the rate of taxation. She is powerless
10 raise, or in anywise control values
Half the property in the State may be
ommitted from the books, or may be, as
Il ia. entered at halt values. The State
officers and officials are powerless to
remedy it. One county may assess at
full values, another county may assess
at three.iourth values, another at halt,
and still another at quarter values;
the State officers and officials can dc
nothing to produce equality or justice.

a C,Imin.I,s RomantIe career

A telegram from Quebec, received a
few nights ago, mentioned the arrest
aboard the Prussian OF delaulter from
France. The antecedents Of the pris'
oner are thus recounted by the Paris
correspondent OF the London Daily Tel
egraph, under date Of November 2;
We have Just received word OF one OF
those romantic robberies that turn up
from time 10 time in every country. A
certain Teschemacher, German by birth,
has long enjoyed the entire confidence
Of a great Anglo-French firm. Messrs.
Poisse,, sf Bradford and Paris. Though
but twenty-eight years old, and boyish
appearance, Teschemacher occupied the
position Of chief cashier, and vas even
trusted with authority to sign for the
firm. Just before the war in public
place, he made the acquaintance Of
Marguerite Chauyin, q young person OF
some attractions, and Of superior educa-
ton. Led for her sake into large ex.
penses, he began TO gamble on the
tort, With such luck as 70 via nearly

An Indirnant inquirer,

To the Editor of the Ledger.
We learn that an effort is being made
to induce the teachers Of the city
schools" to subscribe to a fund for pay
Jag the Appeal for its work in behalf OF
the continuance of these schools. Can
il be that so immense a paper, daily
Boosting OF its large circulation, liberal
support, liberal views. would permit
such a thing as an assessment on the
salaries of teachers for having advocated
public educaticn2 Is it not as much the
business of the Appeal and all honest
journals, to work for the public good, as
it is of these teachers2 Judging from
the fact of their not having received
enough of their salary this ia ! to defray
daily expenses, they would be necessita-
ted to extra work out OF school to pay
this new tax to the Appeal. Would it not
be better to suspend public instruction
during the present financial troubles
and let each teacher keep his or her
own school, and receive pay from their
pupils2 The teachers would certainly
not be losers in this case. INQUIRER.
We give place to the above without in
any manner indorsing it or intending a
reflection upon our cotemporary. If
such an assessment is contemplated we
feel sure the Appeal knows nothing Of
it, and would reject fluid collected
from our hardworking aud poorly paid
teachers. The Appeal has done good ser
vice in the cause of popular education,
and we hope will continue until the battle
is won. In our support Of the city school
system we have in no way com
mitted ourselves to its internal man
agement, simply because we have not
Investigated the facts. IL may be that
the School Board is liable TO censure for
some things-that Mr.. Pickett's salary
is little too high, that some of the prin'
cipaIs hold sinecure positions, with too
little work, while the teachers have too
much work. 1t may be that one super
intendent would be sufficient for the city
and county. All these things are posi-
BILE for aught we know to the contrary.
But granted, and still we see no reason
for breaking down the system. The Off
cial acts Of all connected with the city
schools ars legitimate subjects Of discus.
sion by and through the press. Break
ing down the schools is altogether an.
other matter, and there we join issue
with the opponents Of liberal and uni
versal education.

BoUr IEJUHcrIoHs.

Some of our exchanges are discussing
the want of more efficient mortgage
law fer real estate. An act was passed
two years ago to cover the case, and 1t
reads we'll enough, but somehow people
do not take advantage of its provisions,
One great reason why the law is practi-
cally dead letter is the facility with
which iniunctions can be obtained The
Cbaucery Courts have almost unlimited
power, and often grant iDjunc-
tons upon petitions based upon
the most frivolous grounds. The
delays of the law are proverbial, and
nowhere more frequently Illustrated
than in the Chancery Courts. As yet
there is no confidence among the people
that this law will be enforced. The
man who loans money on real estate has
horror of iDjunctions. and will not run
the risk of getting into chaucery, if he
knows himself. We cannot suggest any
special remedy Missouri has
law which might cover the case.
When an injunction fails to hold good
and the petitioner cannot make out the
state of facts alleged in his prayer to the
court he becomes liable for rs per cent
damages on the amount involved. This
makes people rather cautious about wha'
they set forth in documents addressed e
the court, and real estate is good ant
convenient collateral about St. Louis
Perhaps the next Legislature can i'm
prove the present law aud somewhat
modify the injunction business so as t.
make real estate more available in money
transactions.
