Dog Law and Taxes.

One Of the good citizens of De
Kalb County writes the following
communication to the Index. fnll
of suggestive facts to be consid-
cred by Tennesseeans, saying:
We learn from the tax assessors
of this county that 700 dogs have
been killed to avoid taxation,
and $500 have been listed for tax
alton. Thirty-two hundred dogs
for a population of 10000! It
costs this county So, 900 to feed
these dogs, and not q tenth of the
sum is paid for education. But if
we are willing to pay $4,000 to
feed dogs, and dothing for mutton
wool and educatisn, who has q
right to complain! Down with
dog taxes and their authors. Let
no one modest our whelps in their
kennels, or dare to make them
afraid. This is an age Of light aud
! knowledge, and the Bible teaches
US that the price of a dog is an
abomination to- the Lord. Tax
i our COWS, and horses, sheep, hogs,
furniture, carriages, jewelry, mu
sical instruments, our privileges,
incomes, and houses and lands,
and even our heads; but don't dis
Itulb our poodles. Inthe language
of the poet, we say j:
s Barney, let the dogs alone
Just think Of taking taxes of
of houses and lands, and onr own
heads, and putting it on dogs
The rascality Of such proceeding
is absolutely sublime. Murder,
arson, robbery, theft and rape,
are Insignificant in comparison
with the dog tax infamy. Tax
1every thing which ministers to
our comfort or to. our luxuries
every thing on earth and under
1.-The earth but let not the rude
hand Of the Tax Collector be laid
on Tray, Blanche, or Sweetheart
Give us the association Of 0uI
