The Assessment Laws.

Nashville Banner: James n. Nolan.
comptroller of the State of Tennessee, has
issued the following circular, addressed to
county court clerks and assessors, under
date of Nashville, May %:
"Your attention is called to an omission
in The abstract of the assessment law, print
ed on the back of the property schedules
Section 81, subsection 5, should close :
Provided, that no taxpayer shall be re-
quired, in estimating his personal property
to include notes which are the purchase
money for land sold by him and still assess
ed to him.
Attention is also called to section 7, sub
section 2: Return must be made as the
law requires, but all tax upon merchandise
must be collected by the county clerk
In the compilation of the above, the fol
lowing important omissions are noticeable,
to-wit: Section 81, subsection 5, should
close: Provided, that no taxpayer shall be
required in estimating his personal property
to include notes which are the purchase
money for land sold by him and still assess
ed to him. Also section Z, subsection 2,
should read: Return must be made as the
law requires, but all tax upon merchandise
must be collected by the county clerk. The
abstract also fails to state that property
schedules must be sworn to before the

THE PRESIDENT AND THE NEW
YORK ELECTIONS.

The fault-fnding politicians we're
greatly disappointed at President
Garfeld's dignifed attitude in refer
ence to the Senatorial elections.
They would be glad to see him leave
Washington and 60 to Albany, thence
to go upon the hustings and button
hole members of the legislature and
plead with them to vote against
Conkiing and Platt, and to vote for
this or that friend of the Administra-
ton. So anxious are they to have
him appear in that light that rumors
in various forms have been circulated
to the effect that he is engaged in an
active personal campaign against the
election Of Conkling and Platt. And
failing to connect him with anything
of the kind, they say that he is in
the hands of Blaine, who is using him
to infiict punishment upon Mr. Conk
ling.
Of course there is no trouble in
this, as every well-intormed man
knows. 1t is knosn by ali readers
OF newspapers that five-sixths of the
important appointments to Office,
made by the present Administration,
have been made from the ranks of
those who are classed as Mr. Conk-
ling's friends, and who were his
friends. 1t is only natural that the
President should desire the election
of two Senators from New York who
are in sympathy with and will sup
port his administration. He does
not hesitate to say SO. He would
be justifable in using the power of
his administration, in certain sense,
to secure such a result. Such things
have been done by Presidents whose
memories are revered by all the PEG,
pie of this country, regardless of
party. Andrew Jackson would not
have hesitated moment to have
done SO. Impartial observers must
admit that the President has pur-
sued very dignifed course through
out this whole matter. He may
have been guilty Of what many OF
his friends believe to be errors Of
judgment, but he has displayed bold
ness Of purpose, dignity of action
and proper regard for the views Of
others. It can never be said that he
has descended to the level of the
mere politician but has maintained
his reputation as dignifed states
man.

AT the last session of the Arkan>
sas Legislature, committee of sem
a.ors was appointed to investigate
the books of late State treasurer.
Startling developments have been
made in the shape of accounts paid
by the clerks of the preceding leg
islature The accounts consist of
overpaid newspaper bills, several
thousand dollars advance on postage
bills, and the payment Of copying
journals for the printer, which were
never printed. The Legislature was
Democratic, the clerks Democratic
and the treasurer Democrat.

Gen. W. Y. G. Humes, of Memphis,

Of people in Knoxville. In the late

of his profession, and is one of the

HMORY'S CHAM.

" ,&Y KATE CLYDE.
The scent Of flower can carry ns back
Through vista.of long vanished years,
To some scene that lay buried in memory q
tomb,
And can move us to gladness Or tears.
Perhaps twas the perfume that foated
around
At the hour some love-words were said;
Or perhaps twas the fragrance sweet
breatbed from the cross
That lay on the breast Of our dead.
Sometimes We are threading the bright,
busy streets
All around us is CHEEKY and gay;.
iNhen a strain of sweet music falls soft on
our -ear,
That carries our fancy away
To q time when, maybe, that same air We
would hear
Softly whistled at twilights still hour.
While the songsters were warbling their
sweet "gOOd d-night" songs,
And the dcw-jewels gleamd on each flower.
Or it may bc that music has power to bring
A pang sharp and bitterly ken;
At its sound, dear face rises up to our view
That on earth never more will be seen:
'Tis the mother, perhaps, who had guided
our steps
Along Lifes rough, pcrilo,,s way;
And again we can hear her low sweet voice,
as she sang
This same song at the close Of the day.
All! memory's chain has full many link
Here flower and there sweet song;
The tones of a voice or the poise Of n head
OF some stranger we pass in the throng.
Away from the present our fancy will fly,
Till we're living again IN the past.
Sweet memory's chain with your magic
Won make
Youths joys through lifetime to last.
