Tax Bill by a Vote of 60 to 8—Speaker Nl^oh Says Both \ Will Pass, Albany, March lS.—Supplemehtlng t&e conferesce of senatora 'With- Gover- nor- Odell on tax legislation Tuesday night, a conference 'was bold last night between the Republican assemblymen and Governor Odell on the same sub» jects which were made party measures in the senate*. Nearly all of the Re- publican assemblymen attended and the conference was iheld in the asseni* Wy library, After an hour several assemblymen went to the executive chamber and re- turned with Governor Odell and Col- onel Dunn, chairman of the Republican state commlttoe, who reiterated ' h|a views on tlm subject of tax legislation and endeavored to Impress on them the necessity of prompt action on the bill designed to* raise not only suW* -cleat revenue to abolish direct taxa« Won but to Insure funds for the. con*! structlou^of tlio J.OOO-ton barge canal and thelurthorance of the good roads scflome. It Is undoratood that soverat of the aasemblymen objected to the resolv- ing N of tho conference into a caucus such aa was done when the senators met in tho executive chamber. Likewise It transpired that consid- erable opposition devoloped on tho matter of mortgage taxation. The principal opposition to the gov ernor'a tax bllla waa voleed by As- semblyman BoatwJck of Now York, who claimed that Now York city was already paying more't'San Its 8ha*?b ot taxes, dovornor Odell replied to Mr, Boat- v.lelt and gatd that It was a popular fallacy that Now York was psyimj so much more, hut Instead of 8S per cent, as Mr. Bostwlck had stated, it waa 05 per cent or lesa. - Aesomblyman J?atttfrt opposed tho advance In exdse fees, while Mr, Slovons of Franklin spoke against tho mortgage tax measure Tho vote to make the mortgage tax bill«, party measure waa CO to 8, while that on' tho liquor tax amendment was 62 to 13. Subsequently Speaker Nixon assured Governor Odell that tho majority of Km •assemblymen who did not attend the coriferenco woro In favor of the WHS and that itfero would bo more Kuan a sufficient number of votes to pass both bills through tho assembly. Assemblymen Palton and Rueht of Brio and Evans ot Oneida voted against the excise -tax Increase and Assemblymen London of Dutchess and Cowan of Delaware the mortgage tax. ::/-'.

The disorder was epidemic In Tennessee, A \slave owner, a man of great\ wealth and prominence and Irreligious,, called his slaves together ono 'Sunday morning, when a eamp'meetlnK was to progress near by, and announced bis deliberate intention of horsewhipping any one of their number who took the Jerks, \It i*l* nil Imagination,\ ho said, ''and I'll f,wb!p anyone of you that takes It with\!
