Important Measures Likely to
Come Up.

The Nashville Banner, of Monday,
suggests among the measures likely
to come before this legislature, as first
in Importance, the question of State
taxation, and what disposition shall be
made of the State debt. How shall it
be settled, by higher taxation, CONS
promise, or otherwise, is the leading
question of the day. 1t may be put
down as a settled fact, that the rate
of taxation will be no higher, with
the chances strongly in favor of re-
duction. A bill to repeal the ten per
cent. interest law, and thus fix the
legal rate at six per cent. will be pre-
pared to-day, and ip all probability,
be introduced one day this week.
Measures looking toward reformation
and retrenchment in the matter of
State and county offices and salaries,
will be presented for passage at an
early date. These will provide for
the abolition of the positions of adju>
tant-general or private secretary to
the governor, and CLERKS to the treas
urer and secretary Of state. Efforts
will be made to do away with the
common law court of Nashville, pre-
sided over by Judge Guild, and the
success of the bill respecting it is
among the possibilities. The salaries
of the judges Of the various courts will
come in for share of attention from
the pruning-knife of retrenchment.
As the constitution of the State is
said 70 assert that their .alaries can
not be lowered during their terms of
office, the reduction can only be or
dered to take effect two years from
now, when the judicial term expires.
\ bill to abolish the bureau of agri>
culture, statistics and mines will be
offered during the session, and strong
efforts made to effect us passage.
The salaries of county officials will
likely be cut down. 1t is regarded as
a settled thing that what is known as
the dog law will be repealed, so strong
has the opposition to the law been
since its passage. Those who object
to its repeal favor an amendment al
lowing one dog free to every family,
the others to be taxed. Before the
term of the general assembly closes,
bill to redistrict the judicial divis-
ions of the State, by consolidating the
offices and entailing more work upon
the judges, will be recommended ZOE
passage. The employment for steno
graphic reporters in the higher courts,
as is done in many States, will he
urged in bill which will be submit
ted ab3qt the middle of the session.
A similar measure was offered during
the meeting of the last legislature,
bug failed to be passed. q
