The Nashville Banner is very lib
eral toward Memphis, but does not
consent for the legislature to allow the
$4,000 privilege taxes collected for
the State to be RENTED for purposes
Of sewerage, as it would "deplete the
state treasury" What particular use
has the state for money outside Of
current expenses? Haven't we paid
the state debt, or settled the question
for years to come? That is the way
We regard the matter. Memphis,
in the midst Ct her difficulties,
voted for so and 4, but this was re-
jected, and we take it as the senti-
ment of the people at large that Ten
nessee will never pay a dollar of her
debt unless compelled to by a fat Of
the United States court.
The State has plenty Of money or
ought to have in the treasury and
State repositories, without the priyi-
ilege tax of the taxing district. Mem
phis has paid in millions to
the State treasury since the war
without seeing much return. Why
not give us a breathing spell? When
we get on our feet again, We will pay
any state tax cheerfully. 1t might be
profitable for our cotemporary to refer
to the Comptroller's report, and see
what Shelby county has paid the state
in the last ten years, separating the
privilege tax, paid mostly by Mem
phis from the general tax.

CONGRESSMAN HOUK, the only Re-
publican representative from Tonnes
see, enc Of the lastofthe Mohicans, soto
speak, while waiting for a train at
Knoxville the other night to convey
him towaad Washington, was robbed
of his carpet bag. The robber had an
eye to business, and no doubt thought
he was capturing a rich prize. The
disgust Of the thief can be imagined
from the fact hat the bag and contents
was discovered the next day in an out
Of the way place near town. The
Congressman fooled the thief that
time in a most heartless manner. In
stead Of the orthodox bottle of whisky,
campaign documents and manuscript
speeches, the bag contained only some
clean linen and.a well thumbed bible,
which the owner may have perused in
his youthful days. This was clearly a
case of misplaced confidence on the
part of thief, unless indeed the Con.
gresham was trying to make a rep
utation as a model growth Of a ter
rible bad Sunday-school scholar.
