Change.
Thorp are few themes that more fervently
and powerfully impress the mind then
change. As we retrospect the past and
view things ns they were ; as memory with
its gentle influences sheds the balm of re
flection upon us, and transports us far down
the vista of the past, strange, yet delightful
emotions fill bur breast. 'Tis there we
find that, one yesterday was enthroned in
regal splendor, on whose nod hangs the
destinies of nations and whose word caused
thousands to bow and tremble with submis
sion—to day a pittiless thing, shorn of its
glory and its once mighty power passed
away. Does there not come a whisper now
from that long buried past, which seems to
auy that there will soon be another change?
But a lew short years ago our Senate and
Representative halls resonnded with the
•1»<|uonoo r\ f PttlHAtin, Wohuter. Clay and a
host of other great and glorious men. A
few short years ago there was liberty,
prosperity and happiness throughout this
entire bind. A few years since and the
halls of legislation were rot perfumed with
the queer odor of the fifteenth amendment.
But there has been a change and soon we
may expect another, when Democracy will
again draw the American people under its
regia wing and bring the Constitution and
the government back to its pristine purity.
Many of the evils of the government are
based in the masses of the people and there
must be a change among the masses before
there can be anything effected among the
ruling element of the government. Every
act and thought of the party in power
indicates that there must and will soon be a
change in the political elements of our
government. The President is contemplat
ing the necessity of changing his Cabinet.
His late partisan proclamation announcing
his intention to enforce the infamous
Ku-Klux law recently passed by Congress
breathes the very atmosphere of change.
There are only two alternatives, the Presi
dent must be clothed with despotic power
or the banner of Democracy must soon be
fanned by the breeze that floats about our
Capitol. Looking at the oppression and
outrages inflicted on eight millions of
people for the last six years ; considering
the usurpations of power and the impositions
forced on the people, and feeling that the
principle of freedom is inherent in the
breast of man, we do not doubt that the
campaign of 1872 will be one of the most
important since the days of Washington.
Aununl Meeting off the State Teacher*’
Association.
The State Teachers’ Association met in
Columbus, on the morning of the 2d inst.
A large number of distinguished education

COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The Right to Levy a County Tax for
Educatioual Purposes
From the Macon Telegraph, 7th lust.]
Au adjourned meeting of the B bb County
B ard of Elucatim w.is held Saturday to
hear the report of a Special Committee to
whotri had been referred tbe question of the
power of the Board, under the act establish
ing a System of Public Instruction, to levy
a tax upon the county for general educa
tional purposes.
Members of t-he Board present were
Messrs. Poe, B nke, Vissage, Williams, Cox
and Clisby. Mr. Poe. who had investigated
the question with much care, made a very
able report and argument otan hour, prov
ing. beyond all question, that the act confers
no power whatever yn the County Boards
of Education to levy an educational tax on
the county. The act (Section 43) devotes
certain taxes, funds and incomes to the
common school, and if these should prove
insufficient, authorizes the State Board nf
Education at the Capital to detorrnine the
addit onal am unt to be ruised annually
‘•by taxation upon all the taxable property
of the State, and to report to the Geneial
Assembly;” hut it confers no powers upon
county authorities to assess and levy a
county tax for thut purpose. There must
be a specific grant of power to authorize the
County Bnaidsto levy a general county tax
for this purpose ; but there is none whatever
in the act in question.
The Constitution of 1865 restricts and
defines the right of the General Assembly
to levy taXAtion, and authorizes it to grant
the power to tax to the county authorities
and municipal corporations—[section 27
and 28]. Article VI of the same instru
ment devolves upon the General Assembly
at its first session the duty of providing “a
thorough system of General Education,”
some outlines of which are laid down, fc
also aligns funds lor the support of this
system and then dec ares “if the provisions
herein made shall prove insufficient, the
General Assembly shall hare power to lay
such general tax upon the property of the
State, as may be necessary fur the support
of said school system.
The Constitution ard the act made in
pursuance thereof, look to a general State
system, administered under State authority
and supported by State revenues and taxa
tion. They t-upercede the previous system,
and the county tax assessed, collected and
applied under it. In the absence of specific
and express authority to tax, or power de
rived from necessary implication under the
act, it cannot be assumed to exist, and it
cannot be enforced if attempted to be exer
cised. This point was sustained and en
forced by citations from a decision of the
Supreme Court.
Section 31 of the act seems to confer
upon the County Boards power to athorize
an assessment and collection of money and
labor taxes to meet certain material wants
of the school or schools in particular school
districts of the county—such, for instance,
as the providing an i furnishing of school
houses ; but the phraseology by no means
clearly authorizes the County Board to levy
and collect such a tax.
After some gareral discussion, therefore,
the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the D aid ;
Resolved, As the sense of this Board,
that, under the law, it has no authority
whatever to levy a county tax for general
educational purposesbut that the act
establishing a system of public instruction
in Georgia, contemplates, in addition to the
specific revenues devoted by the act to that
purpose, tbe levy of a State tax to be
authorized by act of the General Assembly,
on the recommendation of the State Board
of Education in Atlanta.
Resolved, That in respect to tbe power
of the County Board, to authorize taxes in
school districts of the county, for the mate
rial uses of the school or schools in the
district, although the 31st section of the act
seems to have intended to confer that power,
yet its phraseology is too loose and doubtful
to authorize this B >ard to assume it.
ReV. Dr. P. 11. Mell.
We find in the following letter that high
ly commendable spirit which we have ever
found in our venerable preceptor. We are
glad to publish such a letter from one we
so much reverence and esteem :
IIARMONY AND UNION AMONG GEORGIA BAP
TISTS.
A noticeable feature of the Convention
just adjourned was the magnanimous, for
bearing and fraternal sprit that generally
prevailed. A question of threatening char
acter, relating to the educational interests
of the denomination—one involving divi
sions of sentiment, deep feeling, and
al interest, was settled to the mutual satis
faction of those directly at issue.
Two Conventions in succession have un
mistakably decided in favor of removal;
and we may, therfore, suppose that the
majority of our people, who care anything
about the subject, are of the same opinion.
The question, then, of the removal of the
Univers ty from Penfield, seems to be defi
nitely ar.d finally settled. If th ; s be so,
should not those of in the minority imitate
the magnanimity of the people of Penfield,
and submit and aeqniesce?
True, there are some important and deli
cate questions connected with the location
of the University yet to be passed upon by
tbe Board of Trustees : but may we not
hope that the wisdom and piety of those
bretheren will be adeuuate to the occasion ?
The sacrifices I recommend to others—
and more —l am willing to submit to myself.
Some, I am informed, think the position 1
occupy in the denomination in the State, is
a hindrance to harmony and union among
our people. Very well: lam prepared to
abandon it, howeverrauch I prize it. What
ever of power I have had as President of
the State Convention, I have endeavored to
wiald for harmony and union. I now give
notice that! lay it down for the accomplish
ment of the same ends. P. 11. Mell.

Mr. Editor:— Classing you among the
appreciative of earth’s delights, I am con
strained by emotions of tbe tentjrerest heart
that ever bore, unmurmuring.- the “slings
and arrows of outrageous fortune,” or that
ever prompted one to Move his—neighbor
belter than himself—constrained, I say, to
make you regret that you didn't join one of
the choicest fishing parties that ever left
Thomaston. So that should another such
opportunity offer (which will scarcely hap
pen for ages tc come) you may be so
thoughtful as to let business go to the
winds. Let the gentle whisper, “dim vivi
mils tivamus’’ of your better soul overrule
the croaking utilitarian that would dare
interpo-e his ill timed caveat. * Fjr if he
fears the remnant of his unhappy days may,
through idleness, be visited by famine,—_
furnish him a large sized fish-hook, and
direct his weary steps to the Factory Pond ;
where, if he be industrious, and “luck well,'
he may make and easy 1 ving out of those
fishes we may have left. He may find suck
ers, jack, roaches or turtles, which perhaps
remain. The cats, trout, perch, eels and
“tarripins,” we caught, or badly thinned.
But, Mr. Editor, you wou'd hear of the
still more lovely features of the occasaion :
Well, sir, I will tell you. Our Party com
posed of some of the fairest fl >wers that
ever grew in this or any other climate, “on
the one part,” accompanied by-an equal
number of the mast “galliant and guy”
knights th.it ever rejoiced in the title of
‘ Colonel,” “Doctor” or “Squire,” “on the
other putt,”—equipped with tackle and
“bait”— t« getlier, moreover, with large
hamper baskets “plum” full of the rarest
and daintiest “vittles” that has been cook
ed for ages past. Prepared “thusly,” each
beautiful countenance beaming a‘ah bright
anticipation of “a good time a coining,” we,
in coupics, at convenient distances from each
other, took up the line of march for the
‘Potato.’ What was spoken on that march
—now that is the question. This deponent
s lyeth not. “L rd knows !”
We arrived in due time at the Factory,
and offer storing away the “pervisions,”
till dinner time, commenced (the ladies I
mean) a most direful war upon such ani
mals as I mentioned above. The first vic
tim of a beautiful enemy was a young and
ill-fated perch. The next was a yearling
trout whose maturer age should have taught
him that none could dare approach her with
out being captivated. His reckless course,
however, is good evidence that hr came from
the head-waters of Potato Creek. The work
soon began in earrst ; many of vaiious
tribes dying sweetly at the feet nf— we 1—
“llow I do wish that I was a fi.sh.”
“Oh ! horror ! I see them yet:” bew the
poor worms writhed and squirmed . with
agony as the young ladies “laughed to see J
such sport.” Thus it is with the luckless
swain that getteth in their way. Mean
while Dr. M—— had gone tor a boat, in
which all save two (who seemed well enough
satisfied on ‘ terra rfrma’) took seats ; sing
ing, laughing, talking.—l—loving, an 1
making a scene that might well have rivaled
Cleopatra’s “turnout,” as we circumnavi
gated every nook of that expansive pond.
Dinner time came, but not too soon ; as the
brief process of destruction—well —.
“Please pass me the left wing of that chick
en and a tea-cake”—“Some of them ‘per
serves,’ifynu please—.” “‘Col ,’ what is
that I see by your side —Oh !’tis a black
bottle!—L p t me have it, sir, I pray, that
I may the better judge of what it contain
ed.’’—“Won’t you have a sardine on your
wafer, ‘Col “No, thank you, mum !”
“Will you not pass your silver-cup, again,
that I may deaUyou out a lew drops more
of this nectar, Miss ——, mine eyes are
growing dim, and I can’t, for the life of me,
call your nam T’ Sequel:—“Tell this soul
with sorrow laden, if within the distant
Aidenne— “ ‘Pon my life, that’s so ; let’s go
to the Aidenne.” Some went, Mr. Editor,
and some stopped on the wav ; find ng
“Aiuennes” of their own. ’Twas thus—
thus—thus, sir, passed the happiest day
that ever night came upon too soon. I
would say more but dare not. Squ.vr.
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS OF TIIE
GRAND JURY, 31 AY TER3I, 1871.
We, the Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn
for the first week, May Term. 1871. of Up
son Superior Court, make the following
General Presentments?
After making general and diligent in
quiry, we find it a source of satisfaction to
ourselves and a matter of congratulation to
the people generally, that our country has
greatly improved in point of morals
and social feelings, that crime seems to be
greatly on the deoreaee, and the trifling
causes of dispute are less numerous than
heretofore.
Having carefully examined the public
-buildings, we find that the Courthouse is in
good repair. The Jail we find very insecure
and unsafe, and again recommend the
Ordinary to have the necessary repairs
made at once. From the best information
we can gather, we find nothing criminal in
the Jailor iu regard to the escape ofprrs- '
oners. *
From examination and inquiry we report
that the roads and bridges generally aro in
a passable condition. The bridge at An
drews’ mill we recommend bo considered a
County bridge, and that the Ordinary have
the same repaired.
We find from the records that tho hooks
are properly and correctly kept, nod that
tbe finances of the county are in a flourish
ing condition, end under the guidance uod
control of the Ordinary, is out of debt ami
money in the Treasury to meet all
demands and still have a surplus.
The District Courts recently organized in
this State, after calmly considering the
utility nf euch an organization we heartily ‘
disapprove of it, and respectfully ask our
llunorab’e He present u tire to u»e hin utmost
endeavors in the next Legislature to abol«h
the same.
We have had under consideration the
public school law, and while we do not
.object to a pystom that would produce bene**
ficial results in illuminating, the mind* of
those who from poverty or other misfor
tunes are unable to defray the necessary
expenses in obtaining an education, yet a
system that imposes onerous burdens upon
the tax-payers meets with our unqualified
opposition. The object in alluding to this
subject at all, is for ti e special purpose of
entering a caveat to the action of the Trus*
tees of the Ilootenville district, who have
assessed a tax upon the property of the
inhabitants to such extravagance and prodt- •
galitv, we are earnestly opposed and call
upon those in charge of the matter to re
trace their steps beb-re the present system
of public instruction becomes odious by the
-imprudence of those charged with the
enforcement of the law, such buildings and
such preparations creating such an outlay
and enormous taxation are not now needed
to put tho system in practical operation.
Buildingscould.be erected furnishing every
accommodation with less cash expenses
under the labor system of taxation provided
by the law. Taking under consideration
the present financial c mditinn of the people,
already staggering under the heavy drains,
demands economy, sagacity and prudence,
in imposing other burdens. To this one in
question, we object and call upon the proper
authorities to go no further in the collection
of the tax to meet this, what we believe an
uncalled for and unnecessary expense.
We recommend the Ordinary to levy a
tax not to exceed one hhndrcd and twenty
five per cent, on the State tax to meet the
current expenses of the present year.
Provided, that it be necessary.
In conclusion we would tender our thanks
to his Honor, Judge Greene, for the able
and dignified manner in which he has pre
sided. Also to Solicitor Anderson, for the
kind courteous mariner in which lie has
assisted us in the discharge of our duties
during the present Term.
We request tint these General Present
ments be published once in the Tiiomaston
