Senatorially Speaking.

We think that our friend Three Stars
**|) draws some rather REGULAR con-
clusions in his communications which
appeared in the Courier yesterday.
In the first place, he says that the
Courier, which has been favorable to
Mr. Carmack's candidacy for the U. S.
senate, has called halt since the snap"
action at Blountville, Monday. The
author evidently intends to make the
point that we were so disgusted with
that action that we concluded to "cuss"
and quit. On the contrary, we cared
very little about it one way or the
other, because we think it amounts to
little or nothing. If we had been pres
ent, as friend of Mr.. Carmack we
would have opposed such action be-
cause it was of no binding force on
anybody at home and was calculated
to make n wrong impression abroad
There is division Of sentiment among
the democratic voters and politicians
in this county, and now, as always, we
are in favor of full, free and fair ex-
preston at the proper time; and we do
not believe that Mr.. Carmack of Mr..
McMillin would ask for anything else
And it creates s wrong impression
abroad, for the reason that when Mr..
Carmack comes to Sullivan county next
summer to meet and greet the long

time for the reason that we are for
him for governor, In our opinion, he
owes it to the democratic party and to
the people Of the state to continue the
good work he has inaugurated, to press
on the reforms instituted by and un-
der his administration. That ought to
be glory enough for him
So, without any comparison that is
odious or distinction invidious, we
think that Mr.. Carmack is the ablest
available aspirant. We agree with our
friend that Mr.. Carmack is 'bril-
liant genius" but we utterly repudlate
the suggestion that he is meteoric in
his stability. He is fixed star OF the
first magnitude. The facts substanti-
ate this statement. For fifteen years
on the Nashville and Memphis press he
has not only held his own but has
grown brighter and brighter and shone
for years as the editorial luminary Of
the state and the south. A man has to
have the stuff in him to do that. And,
during this time he was a power ON the
stump for democracy, especially COM
batting "the crazy and fanatical feath-
er-headed vagaries of Populism." He
is man of positive views and many
ideas, and has made several speeches
in congress which commanded the ad
miration of his auditors and pleased
the ear Of the nation. Only the other

But we are not forced to so eonstrue it.
1t is left scope enough without em-
bracing within it a conveyance which
the clerk was without authority to
make.
But it is said the list filed by the
trustee was substantially correct,
though not certified, and that the con-
veyance should be upheld on the au-
thority of 8 Lea, 720, We find no anal
ogy between the two cases. The
statutes in question in that case and in
the present cases were radically differ
ent in form and effect, 1t is further
insisted that the failure Of the trustee
to file certified list ought to work no
more interest against these tax title
purchasers than the failure of sheriff
to make proper return against exec7 :
tion purchasers. (Mitchell VS.. Lipe,

return is made absolutely essential to
title, and in the other 1t is not essential

purchasers, are affirmed.

around over the state, Why, what is
Carmack going to Sullivan for, I
thought it had declared for him? Then
the truth will come out, and the effect
Of it will be to discourage his friends,
and encourage his opponents, That is
why we would have opposed the resolu-
ton.
The editor of the Courier counts him

While we have no sympathy, with

and disparage Gov, McMillin's public

not one whit less capable, although moi
quite so experienced. The state and
the party are to be congratulated on

A MISTAKEN CONCLUSION.

No such force was given to such deed.
1t was not the intention of the legisla-
ture, by section II, to make that act an
assurance Of title which the officer in
question was absolutely lacking in
authority to perform. Behind it must
be the power to execute before it can
have the efficacy claimed for it. 1t can
not be either by principle or authority
that the clerks conveyance becomes
the exclusive evidence of its own
validity. MARK VS.. Hawthorne, 14s
U. S., 172; Cooley on Taxation, 521.)
If the necessary construction of this
section was in the face of such an in
strument, it prevents the owner from
showing that the title of his property
had never passed out of him; then we
would be constrained to hold in viola
lation of constitutional safeguards.

FAMOUS SECTION II.

But it is said that Section II provides
that this conveyance from the clerk
shall be an assurance of perfect title to
the purchaser of such land and no such
conveyance shall be invalidated in any
court except by proof that the land
was not liable to sale for taxes or that
the taxes for which land was sold had
been paid before said sale. It is the
legislative condemnation of the failure
of the county trustee to file the certi
fed list. In fact, the argument is made
that it conclusively shuts the door Of
Investigation in the face of the original
owner save in the two particulars men
toned.
1t could hardly be insisted that such
conveyance could work an estoppei
so as to prevent the owner from show
ing that his land, though delinquent
and embraced in the certified list as
having been struck off to the treasurer,
was in fact never offered and struck of
by the county trustee. No more could
it be maintained than in case where
land was properly struck off to the state
for delinquent taxes which subsequent
ly to the sale was embraced in the GER
titled list requiredof him by section SO,
and in ignorance of the fact of payment
at the expiration of two year s was con
veyed under the authority of section
10, that such conveyance would close
the mouth of the owner. Yet, if the
contention of these tax purchasers il
sound, the conveyance of the clerl
would debar the owner from showing
these facts.

TAX TITLES INvALIDED.
Important Decision on the Supreme Court
at Jackson.

The supreme court at Jackson on
Saturday last, Judge Beard handing
down the decision, upset the tax sales
of delinquent property made by the
trustee of Shelby county, and the
property sold by the trustee for back
taxes and bought in by outside parties
reverts to the original owners. The
decision of the court does not touch on
the constitutionality of the law and it is
presumed that if the requirements of
the net are complied with, which was
not done at Memphis, the law would
hold
WHAT THE COURT SAYS.
In the course of the opinion written
by Justice Beard, the supreme court
says, in substances
After discussing Chapter J., Acts of
1897, with regard to the sale by the
county trustee of property delinquent
for taxes, the court said that Section
SO of the act required two acts as pre-
requisites to the vestiture of title in the
treasurer of the state, one of which
was not more essential than the other.
First, the county trustee must strike
off the property of the treasurer; sec
ond, he was bound to file with the clerk
of the circuit court list of such prop
erty and the taxes for which it was
sold.
The mere sale was only the prelimin-
ary step. OF itself it was no transmu-
tation of title. To take title out of the
owner and vest it in the treasurer the
certified list was necessary. By the
statute this stands in the place of q
deed. That the legislature intended to
make this list prerequisite is made
still further apparent by reference to
Section 65, which requires the trustee
to make out and file list similar in
every respect to that required in Sec
tion SO, of the delinquent land he sells
to individuals. But with respect to
this it is provided that the failure to
make return to this list or the filing OF
a defective list shall not affect the title.
Such provision is made with regard tC
the other list. And it is not strained
inference that in making this distinc.
tion between the two cases the legisla-
ture intended to emphasize the rule
that the doctrine of caveat emptor ap
piled in the one and did not in the 9th
er. 1t has been seen by Section 70, af
ter the time for the redemption of any
tract of land struck off to the treasurer
of the state has expired, any person
making proper payment to the clerk il
entitled to receive conveyance, o
what? OF the title vested in the treas
urer. But there is no title vested il
him lacking the certified list, and tn
clerk can only convey where such it'll
is vested. In the want of prope
vestiture his conveyance is waste pa
per. 1t is no more and effects no bette
result than if made by any other un
authorized official. Hatcher VS.. Powell
