Ehe EariG Question.

A correspondent of the Clarion
recently made the following sensible
points on the Tariff question::
Under the pressure of conflicting
priUdte interests, the great public
interest of government in which the
masses are most deeply interested
has been lost sight of, and Congress
seems puzzled by this clamor for pri-
vate preferment in adjusting the i'm
port i0Tes.
There are two most important pro
visions Of the constitution to the
masses) which if strictly Observed,
would be a solution of the difficulty,
and make the adjustment of a Tariff
plain and easy to accomplish. The
1st requiring taxation to be equal
the End forbidding pricdte property
TO be taken, except for public use
Then let the object be confined
strictly to providing revenue for
support of government. The aggre
gate value Of al imports can be p
proximated. The necessary revenue
needed for government is approx
mately known. Then levy a duty
(tax) on the value Of al imports
without exemptions, of such a per
cent. without determinations there
in, that will produce the amount of
revenue needed, thus will the 1st pro-
vision alluded to be complied with,
IN making taxation equal, and the
incidental protection afforded be no
ojolation of the End named provision
of which intentional subsidy mis-
named protection) through exemp-
tions and determinations most GER
tainly effects in levying tax for
pric0te benefit, and not for public

The legislative commmittee ap-
pointed to Investigate the Office Of
the Treasurer of Tennessee, submit
ted their final report last Friday.
The committee says: "As mat
ter Of history, your committee beg
leave to call attention TO the fact
that out ofHve State Treasurers since
1866, a period OF seventeen years,
during the administration of four OF
them the State has suffered heavy
less by defalcations aud otherwise.
"R. l.. Stanford was the first treas
urer after the war, aud during his
term of Office the State was plumber.
ed Of the remnants Of her public
school fund, which had been pre-
served through the war. He was
succeeded by J. r. Henry and he by
j. Z. Rust, and with neither Of these
officials was the State ever able to
secure a settlement, and suffered
heavy loss from her treasury.
81. Z. Rust was succeeded by Nor
row, and in 1877 Morrow was sue
cceded By NJ. T. Polk, and the treas
ury was again robbed and plundered
of nearly a half million dollars by
one in whom the people put implicit
confidence"
The committee compliments DR.
Morrow for his administration, and
in concluding their report the COM
nittee said they have endeavorcd to
trace out the guilty parties, who were

ooIn County sTcrtgaEe.
We reproduced last week from an
exchange an article relative TO the
above named gentleman and his OK
PLANTATION Of the charges made
against him by The Chickasaw Mes
sengef and other papers TO the effect
itha. he had borrowed $50 900 from
Mr.. c. r. Huntington which, it was
| stated, was issdequste!y secured by
a mortgage ON real estate in this
! county. The Chicksssw Messenger
published duriRg the last canvass,
/ we are inforAed, . certified copy OF
the mortgage aAd also . certified
copy frsm the assessment roll of this
county, showing that, according to
| records here, the $4,000 was loaned
or the security Of lands assessed at
$4,000. Now the facts, as wo have
taken paiAs to ascertain, are these:
The mortgage is on 10000 acres OF
| finely timbered lands lyingIcontiguous
to the railroad in the neighborhood
OF Bogsechitto. The lands were
thsld by divers persons who claimed
to have acquired thom at tax-sales.
The tax-titles were generally defec-
/ tive, and the holders of them not
feeling secure in their titles, natu-
| rally placed low estimate on their
interest in these lands. The ASSESS
ment roll, which was made in 1879,
shows the average value G1ed on
these lands to be $50 per acre,
making the total assessment on them
$4,000; but, let it be noted, this val,
us was plsced.oa these lands by the
holders Of the tax titles
Since that time Messrs. Fer
sons & wesson and Money have
purchased frem the holders Of the
tax titles, and also from the persons
holding the original titles. The
lands are well worth.s4 or S. per
acre making $4,000 or $4,000
the cash value Of the lands alone.
Besides, there is quite q large
amount OF personal property en-
braced ia the mortgage A railroad
Of eight miles in length has been
built Oh the lands, valuable loco
motive placed thereon, aud two fine
ly equipped saw mills are located
on the land. TAe Whole property
embraced III the mortgage is ample
security for the loan.
IT. az stated by Mr.. Monsy-and
We do rot doubt his statement, par
ticuIarIy since it is corroborated by
Mr. Wesson--the whole loan was not
advanced at oaee; aad ii, as sta
ted, the parties contemplated the
erection of the improvements thereon
al the time the debt was contracted,
the charges against Mr.. Money,
predicated on this transaction, are
unjust to him. They are unjust in
aHy evsAt, since the land itself 10
probably worth the amount of the
loan. At the same time, we can
easily see how the ChickaSaw Mes
.unser was led into the inisstate-
ments it has made; but We also sub
NIT that it will speak very poorly
for it as fair-desling Journal, if it
does not now acknowledge It's error
and make proper amends.
