SUP'T. WHITPiELD'S REPLY.
PEA RIDGE, Tenn, Nov. II, 1873.
EDITORS TOBACCO LEAF:

At the risk of mourning again the
grave charge of being absurdly fond
of seeing my name in print, am COM
pelled in Justice TO myself and my
superior in rank, Col. Trsusdale, to
correct certain wrong impressions
sought to be made on the public mind,
and more especially on the minds of
members of the County Court of Mont
gomery County, in an article published
IN your paper as an extract from the
Ma hvllle American, from his Honor
Judge Z. ". Tyler. The covert in
situations contained in that letter do
lae and the printers devil gross in
Justice; and as | intend to crawl out,
back out, or fight out OF it in some way
or other, | would inform that worthy
that unless he Immediately gets down
on his marrow bones and straightens
the thing up squarely, | will cut his
acquaintance forever. 1t is enough
for me to have my mind compared TO
that 'eertain warm place without be-
ing associated with devils.
As preliminary step in this direc-
ton, wish to inform you, and through
you the people of the county, and more
especially the members of the County
Court. with whom the impression is
sought to be made that | seize upon
every pretext to declare war against
them, that knew nothing whatever

How About the Poll Tax:

An important point of law has been
raised in Montgomery and Wayne
counties. The constitution of Ten.
rcssee provides that the State poll tax
collected shall go to the school fund in
each of the ninety -four counties. But
the counties also levy a poll tax. and
the question to be decided by the
courts is whether the County Courts
have the power to divert this tax from
the school fund. 1t is claimed, on the
one hand, that the Constitution, by i'm
plicatioD, requires that the tax shall
go to the public schools alone, and
that if it be not applied TO such
purpose, the counties have no right
to levy the tax at all. On the
other hand, It's insisted that the Coun-
ty has the right to devote the county
poll tax to any purpose it may see fit.

The latest election figures from
Pennsylvania show thatthe Democrat
lie candidate for Governor had 10000
majority in the rural districts, and
would have been elected by that num-
Der but Tor the bogus votes manufac-
tured in Philadelphia. 1t was a hap
pyidea 70 make that city, the headquart-
ers ofthe radical ballotforgers and stuff
ers, scene of the centennial celebration
ofthe birth of the Republic, now by
fraud and usurpation transformed into
a loathsome despotism. The democrat
ization of that city is forcible illus
tration of the decline and fall of the
pure and honest government fashioned
by the wisdom and integrity of the
patriots of l716.

FAILURES are multiplying in New
Observation-Disclosures heavy. A new
feature developed by the contraction
policy is the immense sacrifice of real
estate, sold often for not more than the
interest on the mortgage. This sort
of sacrifice is bound to be largely sub
mitted to throughout the North and
West. yielding a rich harvest Of land
cd property to the capitalists, with cor
responding poverty to the deluded vo-
tiers of the Radical ticket. 1t is a
comfort to know that this condition of
things will be lightly feltiu the South,
where poverty restricted credit, and
prudence avoided the grasp of the
ney-lender.

IT does seem to honest men, that the

ought to create among the real people

rid of a party which has brought
disgrace, and is bringing ruin, upon

GRANT is said to be seriously con

nothing for either, but if interference

fool enough to try it, regardless of con-

ocratic majority in the lower House
serious obstacle to his scheme.
