103 stallions.* To these the policy of the State added billiard tables, which were taxed first at twenty-five dollars and then at ten dollars each. Lands, under the first State statute, were assessed at twelve and one-half cents on the hundred acres ; town lots, at twenty-five cents each; white polls, twelve and one-half cents; black polls, twenty-five cents ; stallions, a sum equal to the season of one mare ; and billiard tables, twenty-five dollars each. Such were the sources of revenue of th...e infant State of Tennessee. There is one other feature of the Constitution to which I wish to direct attention. I have already argued that the authority of the Legislature over the Judiciary was excessive, and if we regard the Constitution closely, we shall find the same criticism applicable to the relations of the Assembly to all the inferior members of the State. Directly or in- directly, the Assembly had the power of influ- encing the selection and therefore the policy, of all State oflicers.
