Chancery Court, Special Term 9Th
Monday Ia June.

Chancery Court, for the better dis
charge Of its duties, and at the unan-
imous request of the bar, has been
postponed until the Attn Monday Of
June, it being the 2Oth day of said
month. Among the more potent rea-
sons for its postponemcnt, may be CT
ted the fact, that the Circuit Court
begins next Monday, and the Supreme
Court now in session Will soon reach
the Madison docket, which is a large
one, and will require the entire atten-
ton of our local bar. The short de-
lay incident to L special term may
hurt few litigants, but the general
good will be subserved by holding it,
and such things must be borne until
our Legislature meets. when proper
steps will be taken to prevent all
conflicts in the future. A Court OF
three weeks duration in June, will
clear the docket, which meets sub
stantia the wants of all the parties
interested.

THE TAX on LAwYERs.-We
suppose that the following, from
the Memphis appeal is based upon
good authority:
"a question much discussed and
pending for some years past in the
supreme court of this State, has at
last been decided. Whether the de-
cision has yet been formally an
nOunced from the bench we are not
advised. II the opinion has not al
ready been delivered it viii be in a
few days. Several years ago the
legislature of the State, in order to
strengthen the revenue budget, i'm
posed on lawyers q specific or priv
ilege tax. The question against
the validity of this tax was first
made, or rather came under discus-
| sion before the court at Nashville,
/ in this State.
After mature elaboration the ques-
ton has at last been decided in "a
Vor of the lawyers"

Burlington, and many other points,
there was snow, accompanied by a
terrible gale. Churches and other
houses were blown down, ships
driven ashore, mail trains stopped,

ways? The snow in some places
was four feet deep.
