From this table it would appear that in 1869 

 the land in the whole State was accounted 

 nearly 1,000,000 acres, and the aggregate value 

 of her taxable property almost $55,000,000 less 

 than in I860, while it is averred that the price 

 of town lots, and the land generally, is now 

 higher than before the late civil war. In one 

 cose there was a large decrease in the number 

 of acres of land returned, yet the valuation 

 was considerably larger ; in another there was 

 considerable increase in the number of acres 

 returned, and a very heavy decrease in the 

 valuation. And so it runs through the whole 

 State. The Comptroller also, in his annual 

 report, presented to the Legislature in Decem- 

 ber, 1870, avers that the present system of as- 

 sessing property for taxation is unequal and 

 unjust, and urges a radical change. 



Concerning Middle Tennessee, which em- 

 braces thirty-five out of the eighty-four coun- 

 ties in the State, and contains about one-half 

 of her entire population, the following table 

 exhibits the number of residents in each of 

 those counties, and the deaths which occurred 



Perhaps few States in the Union can present 

 a smaller mortuary report for the population 

 than Middle Tennessee. 



The most important event of the year in the 

 State was the adoption of a new State consti- 

 tution. By an act passed on the 15th of No-
