An Important Suit.

Several weeks ago A, Pardee, S. II
Miller and Horton, Gildersleeve & Co.
fled bills in the Chancery Court Of.
Johnson City to e%njoin the corporation
from collecting taxes on thelr farming
lands, except for road purposes They
claimed exemption under the 15tn
section OF the Acts Of 1889, charging
the corporation Of Johnson City, and
which provides that farming land,
used as such, should not be taxed, un-
til laid off, except as farming lands in
Washington county are taxed for road
purposes. they further alleged that
tins part OF the charter was agreed
upon by the citizens OF the corporation
in a pu0lic meeting before the corpo-
rate limits were enlarged, and was
passed by the Legislature, at the in
stance of the citizens, and became ,
contract.
The Mayor and Aldermen demurred
to the bill on the ground that the ac-
ton of the Legislature ~enlarging the
corporation boundaries was an exer'
else of governmental power, and that
the motives that influenced the Leg.
islature to pass the act could not be
inquired into.
2. That the 18Th section of the new
charter was r%epugnant to sections %
and 30 of Article 2 OF the Constitution
of the State, which requires that all
property shall be taxed, and that all
taxes, State and municipal, shall be
equal and uniform, aud that no one
species of prop rty shall be taxed at a
greater rate than other species of prop
erty of he same value.
The case was argued two or three
days ago, on motion to dissolve the
Injunction, before Chancellor Smith,
at Jonesboro, by A r. Johnson, Isaac
Harr and Robt Burrow, for the cor
poration, and by H. H Carr, for com
plainants.
Judge Smith rendered an elaborate
written opinion last Saturday, III
which he sustained the demurrer on
both points, and dismissed complain
ants bill. The decision is one of sreat
importance to the town, and will
bring in huadreds It dollars yearly tG
the corporation in the way OF taxes.

The Governors Perqulsites.

The American, our estimable morn.
ing contemporary, has assailed our
Governor in the matter of certain Der.
1~uisites that have come to him as a
member of the board appointed to dis
burse the unconstitutional tax collect
ed by the general government in 1865,
and recently rounded. The American
complains that the Governor, by this
extra-official duty imposed by the Leg
islature, has had the emoluments of
his Office increased to the neighbor-
hood of that Of the Coal-oil Inspector.
The American calls these perquisites
"unwonted fees" and says that "Gov.
Bate emphaticAlly declined any such
gift"
Now, as the American is laboring,
with the Herald, to bring Democracy
back to compliance with its avowed
and time-honored principles, we hope
to see it deal with those matters fairly,
and give oven Gov. Buchanan and the
Alliance their dues. There is nothing
to be gained by misrepresentation, or
even eXaggerating the faults of the en-
envy, our Alliance friends. But a great
deal may be lost. Gov. Buchanan was
made a member Of that board by law,
and the fees-a per cent.-was fixed.
He is not a legitimate object Of criti-
cism for complying with the law, The
Secretary of State, Treasurer and
Comptroller, good Democrats, and not
Alliancemen, were partakers in the
wrong of the Governor, if wrong il
was. Why does the American ignore
these gentlemen, when condcmning
Gov. Buchanan.
AS to the unconstitutionality Of hi'
acceptance Of these fees, it is prob
lematical that we doubt whether any
lawyer of reputation would maintain
the fact. 1t would be a constrained
construction of the constitutional pro
vision referred to make it apply tt
the case. And as to the precedent
set by Governor Bate we know III
similar case during Governor Bate
administration. We suppose the Amer
lean refers to the matter of refundinl
the state debt, but that is probabl,
lacking in the points of resemblance
that are claimed.
Let Us be just, the Alliance and it
representatives have enough politica
sins to answer for to bury them be
ycnd the hope of resurrection, if W
appeal to Democracy in a Iegitimat
way, but a%ny.nnjust censure viii onl
