iished IN last weeks Home journal, has
been re'published by several prominen,
newspapers. The subjoined was written
to us, and we give it us it was written
except some correction rs to Orthogra

the writer is an old family servant whG
has been in Africa about fourteen years.
Ills alluslons to members of our imme.
date family we do not suppress because
they show the kind feelings which en-
lsled between masters and slaves before
the war, and ought to put to the blush
those tanatical abolitonsls whom we
have heard, personally, up North, de.
clare that negroes were 50 terribly tIeat.
ed down South. We remember to have
spent several weeks in New York and
Rochester in 1888 and 1860, and We saw
more suffering, by long odds, among
poor whites than we ever saw amonp
the negroes of the South. -ED. HOME

Franklin County's Tax Suit.

The following is the opinion delivered
IN the Supreme Court last Saturday
morning by Hon. Jno. NJ. Bright, spe.
cial Judge in this case:
franklin County vs.. Nashville, Chatta.
nooga d st. Louis Railroad and the
Nashville, Chattanooga " St. Louis
Railroad VS.. Franklin County.
In this case il is shown that Franklin
conniy's trustee assessed thirty-four
miles Of railroad in its boundaries for
the years from 1873 to 1881, claiming
they had the right to assess the roads
rs the act Of 1878 and the amendments
thereto Of lS77-7S had been declared
unconstitutional and void in Lea SCI -,
the county having assessed the road ac-
cording to that act for those years and
had obtained the taxes thereon.
The court held that in the first place
the comfy assessor could not assess for
any years previous to his term of the
office where taxes had failed to be as.
sessed, or where they had been Illegally
assessed.
Where under the act of 1879 the de-
cree Of the assessors and examiners is
made final, by the legislature, either
party can obtain Il certioraris in order
to have the case tried again before cir
cult court, and by appeal from that to
this court.
Reatfirmcd, the case in Z Lea 261,
holding that those sections requiring
the property Of the railroad to be val
ued in the aggregate, and Il proportion
ment made of the same in the various
counties according to the number of
miles in the respective counties is I'M
constitutional and void ; but as the
railroads were formerly assessed by the
counties for the years they now claim
to have Il right to assess again, were as
sessed under the forms of law and hav-
ing obtained the taxes due according to
said assessment, although it was illegal,
they cannot now be heard to complain,
and more particularly so when they
have not been injured but benefited, as
they obtained more under the act of
1875 than they would if assessed prop.
erly.
