Tbs Legislature 1t its re- ular ssssioi
passed an act relieving the city Of the ex
pense Of assessing properly, and directing
that the work be pszformed by the STATE
assessors, with a~sraall compensation
added for faithful performance of thu
duty imposed upon them. This was in
tended as reform measure, and doubtless
ii. il one. as it relieves the city of one 81
its many burdens: The amount which il
is possible to save by this means may be
small, yet it is something. and on the
principle that small leaks will eventually
sink ship, we may say that the founder

brought to halt by an injunction from
the Superior Court. He has laid COM
plant before the Council in due form. He
alleges that he has been interrupted in
his self-imposed duties Of assessing prop
erty by process of law. But for this in
terruption the work of assessment would
ere this time have, been complete, Per
sonal property has, it appears, been as
sessed in defiance of Mw, and real estate
nearly SO. He wants the Council to order
the City Attorney to bring all the power
he can command to bear to resist the in
junction and let the work Of dual assess

old way. -r.+ .i.,
Willis the Administrators of Finance is
at his wits end because people who are
assessed will not pay, he of Assessments
wants to continue running up the ex-
pense account only to assess people who
will not pay. Possibly, it. will cost the
city as much in law charges for the first
year as it would to let the city go on as
sessing property in the old way. In addi-
ton to this the salaries of the employees of
the Administrator Of Assessments who have
been engaged in this work of supereroga-
ton will have to be, paid, which will of
course give reform q backset. to chat
extent. ., ~
We hope the Council will consider well
before they 60 to any further unnecessary |
expense in the matter of dual assessments. !
The State assessors will demand and en-
'orce their claims. The city could have
'aved the additional expense incurred by |
he administrator If that gentleman had
gracefully complied with the law. The
'ity has already spent some millions in
frivolous litigation. We hope there will
'e faint attempt at economy in this
aspect in the future. ~

The citizens Of Phelps, Texas, promptly
arrested an escaped convict, which was a
commendable action, and showed them TO
Be law abiding people. The prisoner was a
eolored man. The only drawbackto the
dignity of the occasion was difference of
opinion which arose between the citizens
making the arrest. Some were tor turning
the man over to the proper authorities im-
nediately, and others wanted to Keep him
until reward was offered, The difference
became so wide that it took a shotgun to
settle the dispute, and citizen j. IL. Patrick

from custody by Mayor League at the

wages being better than women's and
the greater convenience Of mems cloth.

An amendment to the bill creating
thu arbitration courts at jackson has
been introduced in the House and SEN
ate allowing the commissioners to ad.
journ at Jackson when the business from
the county circuits" is disposed of,
and TO sit at Memphis and hear causes
from Shelby county. The business at
jackson will probably be disposed Of in
two weeks, and the commission meet
here the third week in March. Lawyers
who desire to submit cases to the COM
mission will do well to file their argu-
ments at once, as the Clerk Of the Su-
preme Court at Jackson will forward
transcripts upon application to attor-
neys in any cause in which the agree
meut to submit has been filed. This
will enable the bar to propose briefs and
be ready for trial when the commission
meets here. 6
