CHA NGEEEOR SMITH,

We are informed that petition,
addressed to the Legislature now in
session, and signed by portion of
the members OF the Jonesboro and
Greeneville bars, praying for the
impeachment and removal from Of
fee of the Hon. Fl. G. Smith. Chan
cellor of this Division, has been re.
Gently circulated among the men,
bers of the bar Of this place. But
we are glad to learn that the propo-
Bition met with no encouragement
here. On the contrary, most of the
members OF our bar signed counter
petition to the legislature in Chan
cellor Smiths interest. We have
not seen either of the petitions, and
speak of them only from hearsay. We
have known Chancellor Smith for
many years, aud although we did all
we could in an honest and fair way
to defeat his election last August,
the people preferred him to his able
and popular Democratic opponent
by majority of nearly 1000 votes,
showing that they believe him to be
honest and efficient and are fully
satisfied with his official acts. Nor
have we the slightest reason to ques-
ton that his object and aim has ever
been to do justice in his decisions.
We refer to the matter only to ex-
press the opinion that any action on
the part of the Legislature tending
to defeat the will of the people as
expressed through the ballot box,
would, under the circumstances sur
rounding this case, be unwise and
establish dangerous precedent.

THE TOBACCO TAX.

One Of the propositions which the
Finance Committee Of the Senate
will be called upon to consider this
session of Congress will be the re-
duction Of the tobacco tax by a grad
uated scale. 1t is urged by dealers
who have large stocks on hand at
prices based on the twenty-four-
cent. tax. Mr.. Theodore Z. Allen
Of New York, large manufacturer,
will present very ingenious plan.
The following is tbs scale he pro-
poses: A discount to purchasers Of
stamps for the first two months after
the passage of the act Of 5 per cent.
from the "a cents, or l 1.5 cents per
pound; for the next two months, 10
per cent. or 2 2-5 cents per pound
for the next two months, Is per
cent, or 81 cents per pound for
the next two months, 20 per cent,
or 4 As cents per pound for the
next two months, % per cent, or 81
cents per pound and thereafteV,
S34 per cent, or 8 cents per pound.
He will argue that this mode would
cause but little loss, if any, to hold
srs of tax-advanced tobacco. 1t
would not inerease the income of the
Government for q much longer per-
iod, and would be fair to all 10 the
trade as well as to consumers. He
says all dealers are in favor or re-
duction, in case it can be made with |
out a loss to them on the stocks they |
must have on hand TO supply their |
customers. In case the tax is low
cred. to go into effect as proposed |
by the pending bill, drop Of eight |

The Hon. 7. G. Cain, Representa-
tive from Hamblen and Granger
counties, will be one of the most &C.
tive, diligent ana efficient members
of the present Legislature. AL.
though without former legislative ex-
perience, his merit is already seen
and appreciated in that body, as
will appear from his assignment to
membership on the important com
mittees mentioned below. Mr.. Cain
is Chairman of the Committee on
Elections, and a member of the
Committees on Charitable Institu-

The election of the Hon. John r.
Neal, of Rhea county, very worthy and
competent man for the place, as Speaker
of the Senate, at once destroyed the
smallest hope an East Tennessee caudi-
date might have entertained of getting
the Clerkship of that body. Mr.. Neal
has an experience in legislation that will
materially aid in the satisfactory dis
charge of his onerous duties. His cleo
ton over Mr.. z. W Ewing, the caucus
nominee of the high tax party, was a
victory he may we'll regard as high
compliment from his brother Senator's
Poer Ewing {! First defeated by an East
Tennessean for Clerk, and then 10 have
his ambition thwarted by another East
Tennessean for the Speakership, was too
much indignity for his christian nature.
Twas this last straw that broke the ASS
back. And, head and tail of the great
moral and religious element of the SEN
ate though he is, hesitated not In his
jealous pique to attempt the Preparation
of an illegal and dishonest act. 1t is
the humiliation now felt by all the vir-
tuous little Sunday school boys and girls
Of Giles and adjacent counties, over this
sad moral alteration Of their patron that
causes as still to mourn.

honorable gentleman above named at

Gov. Foote coming. The band struck
up, "See, the conquering hero comes"
And he did come, too. He was dressed
in elegant style. u Looked extremely
neat in Confederate gray Hes had on
the little finger Of his left hand fine
amethystring. His hands were as white
as snow. His speech knocked az UnSon

shook him by the baud, and was happy.
His after course is welLknown.a We do
not. envy his present position; but We do
know he expects at come future day

MoRRIsTowN, Jan. 9, 1873.
To the Editor OF the horristown Gazette:
I see from a notice published in yOur
last issue that Hamblen, with other
counties, has not received her appor-
tionment of the semi-annual School
Fund on account Of bonds, &C., not
having been filed. On the part of Ham
blen / would say: her Trustee gave bond
promptly at the October term of the
County Court, which bond was accept
ed by said Court and the books turned
over to him, as is common in such cases,
and said bond appears of record on the
minute book of said Court.
Respectfully,
