of the United States Supreme Court a
passage In support Of the principle
that when private property is clothed
with public interest, it ceases to be
subject to the same individual control
as Is private property.
1t all this talk Of discrimination and
extortlon was, as has been charged the
mere talk Of demagogues, it occurred
TO the speaker that the appointment
Of a railroad commission would, more
than anything else, expose these
demagogues, and the people would Hv
to the arms of their friends, the rail-
roads.
1t had also been charged that the
passage OF this law would prevent the
lngress OF foreign capital to this State.
he, tor one, did not desire this acces.
sion OF wealth lift must come at the
expense of the liberties of the people.
II was not because of any natural
deficiencies either in the soil or pepu.
latlon OF the South, that she was NOT
50 wealthy as some other sections,
The war left her nothing but uncov-
cred graves; strangers were in her
halls OF legislation. 1t was then that
the State debts we're piled up noun.
tain high; it was then that railroad
bonds found their way into Wal
street with the bonds of the State.
The speaker argued that this leeis.
latlon was necessary, because the rail.
roads were not run in the interests Of
the people of the State, but in the in,
terest OF Eastern capital. He did moi
say that the railroads were makine
immense earnings. Their manipulatorl
were. The net earnings of railroads
In Tennessee for the last year were
about 10 per cent of tie assessed yalu,
Of their property.
/ Local freights were too high: i
might be that through freights were
too low: 1t was almost cheaper t,
send freig ht TO the North than to lane
it at the door of your neighbor.
The speaker gave as an instaoe,
that the Georgia Central railroad. tn,
child Of Georgia, charged 81 30 pc
barrel for -four, from Atlanta I,
Charleston, while the charge was onl,
thirty cents per barrel from Cincin
natl to Charleston. The railroat
claimed that this was because the,
had to compete with water ways. B,
figuring it out the Georgian found ou
that he could get his -four to Charles
ton ninety cents cheaper by sending i
by way Of the South.
| Mr.. Patterson was asked if th,
cause of the cheap rates in Massachu
setts was not to be found in the nu
merous competing lines.
Mr.. Patterson admitted this il
part, and gave as an additional reasol
that the State of Massachusetts wa
able to keep itself, while Tennessee
was not.
Mr.. Patterson saying that it woulC
take him about three quarters of al
hour to conclude, the House adjourn
ed till 2:30 pm.

TAX REDUCTIONS.
A Few Results of the New Reve-
nue. Law.
The Effects on the Collections I'm
This District.
New Orleans States.

At the international Revenue Office
a States reporter asked what reduc-
tlons in the charges of internal reve
nue. fees under the new law, and was
answered that the special tax or reve.
nue. on tobacco in all its conditions
has been reduced. A dealer who for
merly paid s., will now pay 81 40.
One who deals in leaf tobacco, who
formerly paid $25, will pay $l2 Man
ufacturers of tobacco or cigars. who
formerly paid $40, will now pay $6.
RETAIL DEALERS
in leaf tobacco, who formerly paid
$500, and 90 cents Tor every dollar in
excess Of $1,000, will now pay $3.50, and
30 cents for every dollar above $500
The tax ou manufactured tobacco,
formerly l6 cents, is under the new
law 8 cents per pound. That on
cigars, which formerly was Sc per
1000, will now be 50. Cigarettes,
which the dealers paid rs cents per
1000 for, will now, under the new law,
be 80 cents. The bill also contains a
provision enabling planters, farmers
and lumbermen to
SUPPLY THEIR HANDS
with tobacco without payment of a
special tax; but the bill allows them
only to furnish their hands as a supply,
and the aggregate must not exceed
one hundred pounds for each thousand,
nor must they at the same time keep a
store for these goods.
In consequence, this section will
hardly benefit our planters, as their
supplies exceed the quantity, and for
the reason that they keep stores where
articles are sold.
Thetax on distilled spirits, wines aud
fermented liquors has been changed in
no way by the bilL
The tax now imposed by law upon
proprietary articles, such as matches,
playing cards. etc., has been abolished
from and after lst July, 1888.
THE SPECIAL TAX
reduction goes into effect after the first
day OF May, 1888.
The tax heretofore paid by banks
and bankers on capital and deposits
as we'll as that on circulation, is en-
tirely abolished.
The salaries of collectors are based
upon the amounts of their collections
which last year in this district
amounted to nearly 5000, 900, making
the salary of the collector $4,000.
| Under no circumstances under the
old law could the collector receive
more than $500, no matter if his col
lections amounted to 81 100000.
In this 100000, the amount OF the
collections of last year, is included
the tax on spirits here; while nov
no distillery is in operation in the
city.
THE TAX on TOBACCO
and cigars has been reduced to fifty
per cent.,so it is hardly to be expected
that collections in the future will az
gregate more than 100000 or $500.
600, which would reduce the collect.
or's salary to within $500, unless the
commissioners should adopt a new
scale of salaries.
/ The fees heretofore received by the
Collector Of Internal Revenue, as vel
as by the Postmaster, for the sale Of
adhesive stamps, will be abolished af,
ter July | 1882.
Thus it is plain that these two Offices
are not so profitable after all.

THE net receipts of General Fitz-

amounted to more than realized
any other place since he started South,
except in New Orleans. This speaks
well for Memphis. Our city never

MASQUERADE BALL.
a brilliant and Enjoyable Gath.
ering OF Hebrew Society.

A grand ball was given last night at
the Knights Of Innislail Hall by the
Young Mems Hebrew Association.
The attendance was large, the dressing
in good taste, the music (by Arnold's
band) spirited, the dancing lively, and
everything moved smoothly and hap
PLY. 1t was one the most enjoyable
gatherings of the New Year.
AT half-past 8 o'clock those in mask
were formed in line under direction of
the floor committee headed by Mr..
Louis Herzog, and there was a grand
carnival march through the hall.
There were large number of fancy
costumes and character masks, and
the procession presented a very i'm ..
posing and attractive appearance.
After the march dancing was com
menccd nd..was continued at intervals
with real enthusiasm, and joyous
glow ofspirts until after three o'clock
in the morning.
Four grand prizes had been offered,
and a committee was appointed to
award them with the following results:
The first prize was awarded to Minnie
Hess as the finest dressed lady in
mask; the second prize to Mr.. Wood
as the finest dressed gent in mask ;
third prize to Miss Belle Levy, as
Maud Muller, for best lady character
in mask, and fourth prize to Mr.. Louis
Rosenthal, as "The Vagabond, or
Roger and l." for best gents char
ac.er in mask.
The contests were very close, aud
the committee was peplexed in some
cases how to decide. Mr.. Henry
Levy, Of Kahn & Freiburg, as the
colOred wood sawyer was immense, and
afforded much amusement. Haverly' s
minstrels could hardly furnish his
duplicate Mr.. Harry SchlOss, as the
cobbler, was very ane, and would have
passed for genuine son OF st. Crispin,
but for the way he fumbled With his
waxed ends.
Miss Lena Boschwiz, as the Rag
Picker" was capital character, and
many thought she was entitled to one
of the prizes. One or two oithe com
mitteemen, however, we're under the
impression that it was boy or man in
disguise. There were several other
characters that shared the honors Of
the evening. One of the best charac-
ters was about to receive the
first prize when, he, she or it
was dioovered upon being
unmaskod to be disqualified on account
Of gender. 1t was boy, or rather
young man who had very happily per-
solqted double female character,
youth and old age. This created
much merriment.
After the prizes we're awarded, all
masks were removed ana the dancing
went on with renewed animation At
twelve o'clock supper was announced
and a superb ropast was served under
the dirs,tiOn of Mr.. i Meistey. 1t
was quite late when the happy COM
paDy broke up and wended homeward.

How Greasrrs Live.

The word "Greaser is applied 10
the common native or Indian Mexican.
There is IL great and marked differ
ence, like a caste distinction, between
the Greaser Mexican and the Spanish
Mexican, who boasts 0i II descent from
pure CasliIian blood. The former is
Iazy, thriflless, ignorant, supersiilous
ana unstable. The latter is, usually
bright, active and Intelligent. AS
might be expected, ihey. III harmony
with the white element, control most
of the wealth and commerce Ct the
country. In the Northern STATES OF
Old Mexico the greatest portion Ut the
people are of the former class, and
hence the Governments are unstable
and subject to frequent revolutions
under The influence ol factions leaders.
In the more soulherly States there is
IL grealer diffusion Of the Castilian
blood, and revolutions are more rare
and difficult. Gu he ranch or village

and shifiessness. Their gaunl, sharp.
nosed, long legged and lan.colored
hogs share with their owners in the
comforts of the family residence. No
fences except sagebrush surround their
fields. Generally there are none. They
raise just sufficient wheat, barley,
beans and chilli (red peppers) TO meet
their absolute needs. They thrash
their crops upon bare, smooth ground
by driving llocks of goats over them
and washing in Inc nearest stream.
They often plough with crooked
