It is well known y our readers that in 1879 the taxes levied by the County Commissioners failed to defray the current expenses of the county for that year. At the April term of the Superior Court of that year, the Grand Jury l’ec otnmendea an assessment of seveu ty..five per centum of the State tux mfiluntr, as they supposed an in . cr case over thejprevious year, when the eoumy tax had been seventy per cent, of Wial levied by tbe Stale. Bat subsequent to the ad journment of the Grand Jury and ... j -a the Lesfislai ure assembled ahd re dotted ihe assessment of the pre¬ vious year thirty per cent. This made a correspondin'; and urn x peeled reduction in the county tax, which was not distiove ed until too late to bv remedied. J has 'he rev enues'Wei e made inadequate to the expenses. In 1880, ns show n by die report of the last Grand J^ry. the taxes in excess of the ejfffcnses fot the year, tinder tbe largest lux Possible ll n d e r the cotlSiituHon, and the old debt was reduced to tins extent. These a* e the well known reasons for our being; in debt, but lioW we arc to get out, or bow much we owe, are the perplexing questions Last year the Commissioners, with eoumy scrip never lower than 90. and much of the time at par, were only able, by the closest economy, io reduce the eoumy debt $75 — less than 10 per cell'., according to die guerses of the best informed. But this year the problem is how •o do even this much, with county -cup hard sale at 80 cents on the dollar. There is no good reason why scii|> issued at tliis date, which i-> sure to ho paid this winter, -houid be di counted more than ten p'*r cent., but it lias bum disttonn ted tit twenty and even tinny tier cent quite rtiently.

Notwithstanding the graCt improve meats in the mrii facilities of the couhty, during the part few years, there are a f ew changes needed that will iuiprove our service wonderfully. What we need most and above .U, is a mail route agedt on the Columbus & Earns IUilroad, to dis tribute the mail along the route. It is only three miles from Hamilton to Kings boro, yet ft letter mailed hare must go td Columbus, before reaching its destina tion. A letter from Hamilton to Hood travels nearly sixty miles, making an all aSy trip, wtren an agent on the road would assure its delivery in a_ few min¬ utes. Such an agent would releiva the Columbus office of muoh work, and many mistakes which afe made almost of ne¬ cessity in that office wonld be avoided. The establishment cf H mail roule from Ellerslie to TulbottoD, announced in the J.uRNAL of last week, suggests a charge that would be acceptable to all concern¬ ed. By extending this route to Dataula, and making it tri-weekly, the route from E lerslie to Columbus might be dispensed with, as our corresprudent suggests, wou ]j | cave an easy route then from Ellerslie t^ Bhiloh, via Waverly Hall, which consid#fipg,;the populous aed in¬ t«aiigerit^tioh through wbioh it passes as sooft a8 p03ni bi e . It would greatly fac the delivery of mail matter to oiti¬ zms of the eastern part of tbe oounty, whose intelligence and general coladitiou entitle them to greater consideration. The change of route from here to La Grange, making Hood tbe terminus in¬ stead of Hamibon, will work a hardship on many, unless we can have a route agent. With an agent on the road, the change will prove acceptable to all. Cadet Midshipman. Tbefe is a vacanoy in the Naval Acade¬ my from the I ourth Congressional Dis¬ trict o! Georgia.
