The BLACK Deaflh.

New York Times: The black death,
which has again appeared in some
parts of Russia, has proved very de-
structive and caused the greatest alarm,
This is the same disease which, in the
fourteenth century, desolatod the
globe, and gets its name from the black
spots, symptomatic Of u putrid decom-
position, that show themselves at one
OF its stages on the skin Of the sufferer.
1t is thought to have had It's origin in
China, and it ragged for fifteen years,
while drought, famine, floods, earth
quakes that swallowed towns aud
mountains, and swarms Of locusts
spread destructive everywhere. Du-
ring the same period Europe had as
many abnormal conditions rs the East.
The order of nature appeared to be re-
versed. The seasons at various times
were inversed; thunder-storms were
frequent in mid-wintcr, and volcanoes,
long considered extinct, burst forth
afresh. The theory is that the extra
ordinary activity Of the earth accompa-
MED by decomposition Of vast organic
masses-myriads Of l%ocusts, brutcs and
bodies of human bcings-produccd
some change in the atmosphere mimi
cable to life. Some writers say that
the impure air was actually visible as
it approached with its burden of death.
The plague owed its extension almost
wholly to infection and contagion.

COMPTRoLLER's OFFICE, NASH
WILLIE, Tenn, Jan. 81, l679-The at.
tention of the Trustees of the several
counties is called to the following act
of the General Assembly, which has
just become a law, extending the pc
riod for which the Trustee is to re-
tain the tax book, and making it his
duty to deliver to the Constables and
Sheriff, on the first Monday of the
tenth month next following with re-
ceipt of said tax books, the certified

Under provisions Of section 2 of
this act, it will be seen that the Trus-
tee is required to renew Lis present
bonds or to file new ones on or before
the first Monday in March, 1879.
1t is true this law does not refer TO
or repeal section / of the act Of 1874,
chapter 81; nor does it provide when
the Sheriff or Constable shall pay
over the taxes OF make settlement
with the Trustee. These commissions
will, perhaps, be remedied before final
adjournment Of the Legislature, as
well as the omissions relative to date

SODbtahhttSS'
Nashville American: The following
letter has been addressed to Gov.
Marks by the Chairman Of the Ten
nessee Bondholders' Committee:
/. NGw YORK, Jan. %, l879.-To his
Excellency, Albert S. Marks, Gov
ernor of Iennessee-Sir: My atten-
ton has been called to the fact that
suits haYe been commenced against
several of the railroad companies of
Tennessee, to test the question of
priority of the lien of the State bonds
issued III aid of their construction
and equipment.
As the name Of the gentleman who
has acted as Secretary Of the Bond
holders Committee is mentioned as
plaintiff in the suits referred to, l
deem it due to your Excel!encv to
inform you that these suits were in
stituted on the responsibility Of the
gentleman bimself, and without the
knowledge or consent of the commit
tee; that the com mittee have not vet
instituted any suits to establish the
lien of their bonds or of the bonds
they represent; that they have chung
tenaciously to the hope, and do not
give it up, that a settlement with the
State is practicable, that will be &C
ceptable to her creditors, and that
the proposition of compromise of her
debt, which the committee directed
their secretary to furnish to your
Excellency on the 18th instant, with
the request that it be Submitted
by you to the Legislature for accep
lance, is still open for that purpose,
and it is sincerely hoped, and re-
specially urged, may be favorably
acted upon at the present session Of
the Legislature.
Permit me to add, and I assure
you l say it with all respect, that ]
can conceive of no greater calamity to
tie people of Tennessee, and to their
creditors, than to postpone q settle
ment, the speedy conclusion of which
to me to be Of vital Importance,
alike to the debtors and creditors.
With respectful regard, 1 have the
honor to be, very truly,

Chairman Tennessee Bondbolders'

The New State.

Chattanooga Commercial A bill has
been introduced in the Legislature TO
give consent to the formation of a new
State out of East Tennessee. While it
is not likely that the bill will pass, it
would be greatly to the advantage Of
East Tennessee to have it pass. There's
no community Of sentiment politically,
and but little socially or commercially
between this and other sections Of the
State. The separation would leave East
Tennessee free to follow the honest and
wiser ideas of government with which
its people are imbued, and the result
would be a wonderful increase in pop
ulation, manufactures, production and
commerce. There has always in the
political history of the State been di-
rect conflict Of opinion between the
section east and sections west of the
mountains. A separation would be a
relief to both divisions.

A correspondent Of the North Amer
lean Review says: There are millions
Of'pcople in England and millions in
America, almost millions in Australia,
to whose enjoyment of life novels are
almost as necessary as the food to their
life itself, everyone Of whom take some
credit to themselves for the time they
pass in ~"reading," complacontly con-
trasting themselves with idlers and
those who are III b to the frivolities
Of life. A vainWtid foolish notion, for
there is probably no more iusiduous
form of laziness, no method Of passing
time o absolutely void of exertion
of any kind than novel reading, as
novels are read by most Of those for
whom they are written. As a child
opens its mouth and has sugar plums
put into it, so the ordinary novol-read-
er sits quietly and thou5htlessly and
has a story poured through his eyes
into his mind or into that what serves
him in that capacity. 1t is quite anoth-
or spirit and another purpose that
great works Of imagination are ap-
preached by those who can appreciate
them.

COUNT ANDRAssYs FUTURE.
Baron Haymerle, who has been me ntioned as
the probable successor of Count Andrassy, ar
rived in Vienna Monday He had a long
conference with Count Andrassy. One of the
editors of the Vienna 1agblan has had an
interview with Count Andrassy, who stated
that his resignation was against the wish
Of the Emperor, and His Majesty only
consented to it because he was unwilling to
take the responsibility of retaining him in office
to the detriment Of his health. At the inter-
view Count Andrassy pointed out that if the
occupation of NoviBazar had been undertaken
without first entering into a convention with
Turkey it would have been believed that Austria
desired to acquire Salonica. The occupation
of Novi-Bazar was undertaken solely
with the view of guaranteeing Austria's com
mercial relations with Salonica, strengthening
the Austrian position in Bosnia and msurng the
fulflment Of the Treaty of Berlin. The Stand
ards Vienna correspondent telegraphs :-"Count
Andrassy has announced that after his retire
ment from office he will lead an active parlia-
mentary life."
MEETING OF THE TWO CHANcELLoRs.
The London Times Vienna correspondent says
the meeting between Count Andrassy and Prince
Bismarck is not expected to last more than one
day. The principal object Of Count Andrassy's
Journey is to assure the German Chancellor that
Austro-Hungarian policy in the future will be
dictated by the same spirit as hitherto, and that
in particular the good understanding between
Austria and Germany will remain unchanged
A Pesth despatch to the Standard reports that
Prince Bismarck will visit Count Andrassy at
Vienna about the middle of September.
