One of the important questions
discussed in Gov. BorteF's anpuAl
message to the General Assembly is
the expense Of criminal prosecu-
tions. Special attention is asked to
his statements and recommendation
on this point. to,wit:
The following recommendation was
made to the Thirty Ninth and Fortieth
General Assembly, and again urge its
adoption
Irenew the recommendation made two
years ago to the Thirty Ninth General
Assembly, for the passage of an act re-
Quiring the several counties to pay their
Own criminal expenses. The State has
paid for this purpose, during the two
past years, the sum of $3.50, ,583 69, and
during the continuance of our present
system there can be no material reduc-
tiOn. Tennessee is one of five, out of
38 States of the Union, where criminal
prosecutions are made charge upon the
State Treasury; in 33 of them the coun-
ties where crimes are committed pay all
costs, and the result In these SO States Is
that the local officers are more active
and vigilant in preventing extravagant
charges; and l am satisfied that where
local responsibility is provided, bills of
goat win he subjected tc q scrutiny they

for their creation would be discussed
and, it is believed the criminal law will
be administered with more economy,
and by bringing the subject directly be-
fore the people, they would stimulate
greater vigilance on the part of officials,
and require the punishment of criminals
to be made with promptness. For GRIM
inaI expenses TOR tho years 1s7F-Fs, the
State has paid 1891 1856 58.

lie attention. The evil pointed
out by Governor Porter is q
great and growing one. It's pres
ent magnitude is shown by the fact
that OF the total current expenses OF
the State government during the
past fiscal year, criminal prosecu-
tions amounted in round numbers to
$l95, 200. Thus a sum equal to
nearly one-third of the annual cur.

The Pirate.

To the Editor of the MOrristown Gazette:
1t was a lovely evening in 1877
Whsn America was at war with En-
gland when a schooner was seen ap.
preaching land. Twas trader by
it outward appearance, but close
look at her deck and you would have
changed your oppinion right away
for behind the bulwarks we're a row
of shining cannons that would have
done q good sailors eye good to look
at them. It's captisn was a young
officer named Rodney James, and a
better looking young man you never
saw for he treated the crew right,
and they would have followed him
TO the Internal place itself had their
been any occasion for it. Rod. as
we must call him was in search Of a
lawles band of pirates whom, under
the leadership Of renowned pirate
who had stolen q fine little yactch
and coming down upon q large ship
had captured it and put all the pris.
ouers to death except one who had
escaped in a small boat. 1t was
night when the lookout was heard to
cry out, ship ahoy, ship ahoy. The
schoOners men were all out of thire
hunks for they all wais had every
thing at hand ready to take them up
just as soon as they could hop out
of bed and get ready for a battle.
1t was this reason that the men were
in thier places SO quick. Morning
was just breaking, when the pirate
was seen stearing down for them, it
was a great relief to the men to soon
have something to fight. for they
were spelling for fight. In the
pirate was bearing down upon the
schooner, as they supposed, |
but they made q gFevieus mistake
for they soon found out, much to |
their distrust for when the pirates |
opened fire upon the Americans it
was returned with equal force and
luickness and the pirates soon found
that they had foe worthy of their
best regards. for the americans can
