From the Lebanon II raid, March 3. !

From the Lebanon II raid, March 3,
The bill to repeal the net incorpo-
rating the town of Lebanon has passed
both houses of the Legislature-haying
passed on the third reading in the Sen
ate, Monday, by vote Of 10 to has
been signed by the Governor, and is
now law. We have not been able to
secure copy of the act, but We are in
formed by Judge Cantrcll that it does
not take effect until the first day of
January, 1882. From and after that
date, the corporate existence Of the city
will cease, and what has been Lebanon
will be merely a collection Of houses,
with no organization, no government,
and no power of self-protection. Our
streets will be rclcgated to the rank Of
country roads and our payemcnts 90 to
pieces. Business will decline, for the
reason that no man will want to invest
money in goods for which there will be
no protection. Our beautiful cemetery
will be chokcd with weeds and oycrrun
with brlcrs, because it will be nobody's
business to keep il in order, Disorder
and lawltssness will run riot, when the
city marshal, whose name haS SO long
been terror to evil-docrs, shall be
shorn of his power to keep the peace,
and the doors Of the Recorders Court
be closed. In u word, the Legislature
Of Tennessee, against the wishes Of the
voters of Lebanon, has taken away our
rights of local Scll-govcrnmcnt and in
its stead has given lis anarchy.
The ladies al gentlemen who have
been actively instrumental in securing
the repeal Of the charter are, III the
main, persons for whom We entertain
the highest respect and esteem. We be
lieve the great ma jority Of them to b'
sincere in their desire for temperance

our opposition to the repeal Of the act OF

In regard to temperance, and in view
of the letter of Judge Mcconnell which
we publish this week, we call especial
attention to the sensible remarks Of Dr..
Il. J.. c. White, editor Of the Lebanon
Herald, headed, "Out in the Woods.
White is right. We believe that Il
ritw carried to an excess becomes 4
rice. Who shall determine Us to the in
tcrmclatc line Of sobriety? We see
rhurchmcn yet drunk upon enthusiasm
iur their peculiar tcnets Of faith. We
see merchants get drunk because they
are not, a'onr, putronized. We see
plenty Of drunkenness outside Of Sit
looms. We say--lct us reason together.
Do not 90 off in tangent. Do not 90
| from one extreme to another. The
evils Of this wurld-such US saloons, in
temperance in drinking, eating, and
other thngs--has been fruitful theme
for fnna,ical enthusiasts but all they
have writ or sad has awaited nothing.

Perfect peace prevails in our midst,
since the episode in regard to the Pocs.
1t is well, and we hope and believe that
the law will be respected when they are
brought to trial. The prisoners are en-
titled to II fair trial, and their counsel
would fail in their duty if they did not
use every effort in their behalf not
merely for the sake OF the prisoners, but
for the sake of their relatives. When Il
mother appeals for the life of her son
and offers her all for his defense, he
would be u cold-hearted lawyer who
would forget the tie that binds mother
t. son. In this lucid interval of
thought let all good men sustain the law
and our officers in its enforcement.
And in this connection we would re.
fer to the article which We copy from
the Gallatin Examiner, merely to say
that while we endorse the body of the
article, we dissent entirely from its al
lusicn to the ethics Of the legal pro,
tcssion. We cannot understand how a
lawyer becomes a party to violation
Of the law simply because he undertakes
to defend Il criminal. If lawyers are t,
defend those only whom they believe to
he innocent, where will they ever get Il
fee ? And, under our law, We must
deem Il man innocent until he is proved
guilty. The beauty Of our system OF
law is that, under tie management OF
good counsel, Il man adjudged guilty
~itloM trial. may be proven innocent
upon trial, Hence, with Il regard for
the majesty of the law and the rights of
Magma Cnarta, We dissent from some of
the hasty views Of the Gallatin Exam
luCr.
