The Scait Lirense Law.


COLUMBUS, June 8.-The Supreme
Court today gave out its opinion in the
SCOTT liquor tax law, holding it valid
and constitutional except the second
section, wherein it is held not 70 apply to
leases executed prior TO tie passage OF
the act. as NO contracts made can be
violated. Leases, however. entered into
subsequent to the passage of the Law
come within its purview the same as
rentals wherein collection of tax is q
first lien on the premises, holding that
to subject freshOld provided for BY
statute when made against u tenant for
carrying on business upon premises
leased prior TO the passage of tho stat
ute would be an unwarrantable inter-
ference with private property, subject

it only to cases arising 1nder q lease

the Legislatures intent was to apply the
statute to q subsequent LEAVE Only. If
necessary to preserve it from COnstitu-
tiOnal objections 1t will never be pre-
sumed that the Legislature intended to

opinion goes into u lengthy argument
showing the difference between the
SoOtt and Pond law, that the Latter with

TIE TARIFF.

The opinion had gained preva-
lence before the adjournment of
Congress that no tariff legislation
would be passed at the last session.
The number of bills introduced on
the subject and the attempts to par
ticularize so infinitely, retarded
progress and promised to defeat the
intention of Congress and the de-
mands of the people that the tariff
should be reduced. But by the act
i've work of the Conference Com
mittee, the Senate bill was passed
at the eleventh hour and is now the
law of the land. The bill is not
such a reform of the tariff as the
people wanted and is not likely to
meet with approval, a temporary
feeling of confidence has been re-
stored to trade, and thus far the
effects of the bill are beneficial.
Many important industries had
been kept in disturbed state by the
agitation that may now resume
work under improved conditions.
But the present tariff bill is in no
sense a tinality. 1t is confused and
unsatisfactory and as there will still
be large surplus in the revenue,
the next Congress is certain to make
a further reduction, and the oppor-
tunity is left it for greater reform.
The fsee discussion of the tariff
question has had a very beneficial
effect in destroying the sectional
issues that have been given pro-
longed life for the want of some
thing better.
For this much the country can be
thankful. Wrangling over negro
outrages, disputes about Southern
elections and general abuse of the
Southern people have nauseated
the country and the people hail
with delight political issue that
has nothing TO do with sectional
lines
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1883-03-10

With the close of the FOrty-sev-
enth Congress, our talented towns
man, Hon. John +. House, closed
a career that has won him golden
opinions from all sorts of people,
and made him reputation that is
national in its extent. His position
in Congress has been that of a lead
ing member, and his acknowledged
ability has commanded for him the
highest respect and influence. The
people of GAINESVILLE and of the
sixth congressional district, by
whom he is universally loved and
respected, are proud of the distine-
ton he has won. The State of Ten
nessee acknowledges him as one of
her ablest sons, and as he is yet in
the prime of vigorous manhood
there is broad future before him
in which he can be useful to his
country and add to the generous
fame he has already achieved.

HIgger IN the WoodpIie.
Brownsville States and Bee %

Tune Thomas, living down near
the railroad, met with peculiar ac-
cident the other night. 1t is alleged
that he has been stealing wood from
a neighbours woodpiie. So the other
evening it was concluded TO SIX"
him. A long hollow stick of wood
was filled with powder and placed
where Tune could easily get it. AS
soon as the shades of evening
brought darkness on, Tune slipped
to the woodpile and picking up this
stick, carried it and placed it upon
his fire. About nine O'Clock, as he
sat before the blazing hearth, an ex-
plosion came knocking Tune across
the room and demoIishing the Chin
ney. The explosion was heard up
on the square and many went to.
the scene. Tune acknowledged they
got away with him, and says he il
