Livery Stable Keepers not Liable 20
a Separate Tax On VehicIes.

In the case of James T. Bell, Clerk
of the County Court of Davidson
county VS.. Watson ct al, the Su-
preme Court, Judge Cooper deliver
ing the opinion, decided on the 18th
inst, that the keepers of livery
stables. was not liableto the payment
of double tax, as has been errone-
ously held and collected pretty much
all over the State, and in accordance
with the rulings of the Comptroller.
OF this opinion the following is an
abstract:
A safe and sound rule of construc-
ton of revenue laws is to hold, in
the absence of express words dis
closing different intent, that they
were not intended to subject the
same property to be twice charged
with the same tax; nor the same bust
ness to be twice taxed for the eXer-
else of the same privilege.
Where, therefore, a revenue law
declared the business of carrying on
livery stable TO be a privilege, for
the exercise of which a license tax
was imposed, and also made the
running of ''hacks, carriages and
wheeled vehicles" for profit privi-
lege subject to a license tax. 1t was
held that livery stable keeper who
had been duly licensed for the year
could not be required to pay a license
tax on each buggy used in his BUSH
ness the proof showing that the let
ting of buggies for hire was part of
the business of the livery stable.

AN ANTI-T1LDEN COMBINATION

TnmmdHy and Republican Aldermen Con-

Tho Louisville Cou,ier-Jou,naL publishes the
following dispatch from New York under date of
May 20:
The combination between the Republicans and
anti-Tammany by which last falls election was car
ried against John Kelly was broken to-day, and
new one between the Republicans and Tammany
formed It was made public by the Tammany and
Republican aldermen confirming Mayor Coop
ers Rspublioan nominees and rejecting the
night to virtually restore John Kelly
to power in the city and to give him next falls cleo
ton. AS 1t is, 1t prevents Cooper from controlling
the police and superintendent boards. That tho Re-
publicsns have been tempted to this by big reward
OF some kind IL conceded. It is the general belief
in political circles that it is move against Tilden
s and Governor Robinson, by which the Democratic
State ticket il to be defeated in the important elec-
ton for Governor, and the city election given to
Tammany. John Kelly is not above such . trade to
defeat Tilden Indeed the TfldenKely fight WAS never
much excited over the combination tonight. The
direct results to the Republicans are not 1t al com
mensurate with the sacrifice they make n breaking
with anH-Tammany, and that is the reason why q
bigger reward than the mere confirmation Of petty
nominees Is all but known to have been given. The
result may sect the contest of 1880, considering the
important part the vote of New York next fall Is to
have on the Presidential contest.
Speaking Of the dispatch the CD. says, with the

else his own taste in the choice of his asso-
ciates, and it is not at all likely that he will
choose as companion for himself, his wife
or his daughter person of a different race
and color. Social equality is an sgnss tutuus.
The more one pursues it the farther he gets
from it. 1t does not exist even among
people of the same race. There are grades
of society in every community of whites
aud blacks. People moving in what we
call the supper walks" of society hold them

grade, and SO on down to the ignorant day

SOCIAL EQUALITY.


AChicago newspaper is much distressed
at the discovery made by ono of it's CORES
pondents that the Southern people still abhor
the doctrine of social equality as between
whites and blacks. "The Southern blacks.''
1t says, "are no more accounted social equals
now than they were in the slave days. The
change in this respect is naturally slow. 1t
has not been helped, bat rather impeded. by
the obvious fact that many of the negroes
are superior in intelligence and morals and
greater possessions than many of the whites
The stronger the claim to social equality is,
the more holly it is resisted
Admitting that what this writer says is
true, are the Southern people any different
in this respect than those at the North? Is
the social equality between whites and blacks
at the North SO universal and so firmly es-
tablished that the Southern people deserve
condemnation for refusing to treat their
former ohattels as social equals? We con-
TESS that we have seen no evidence of the
fact. The editor of the paper which mourns
so plaintively over the social ostracism of
the negro in the South is in the habit of
giving social receptions at his elegant home
on one of the fashionable avenues of Chi
cago, yet, although there are doubtless many
negroes in that city "superior in intelligence
and morals to him, we have not heard OF
his inviting any of these negroes to mingle
with the rest of his guests. Why does he not
set an example to his brethren at the South
by treating the negroes of his own city as
his social equals? Perhaps he doesn't care
to practice what he breaches.
All this talk about social equality between
whites and blacks is balderdash. There can
never be any such thing. a man will exer-
