were la the original btU, aa reported by the
Grand Jury, but ea that roport was mado two
rear* ago, wo bad forgotten the fact. The Leg
islators made bnt two alterations in the bill:
1st. Striking oat the provision for the tax on
dralt animals and vehieles, which they conaid-
, red nnronititntional, and enbaUtnUng therefor
authority to levy twenty-five per cent, on the
Stalo ux of tho county, ahonld it become nec-
oaiery ; and, Ji. In devolving the appointment
of the lload Commissioners on the Grand Jury.
We learn from Mr. Racon that the matter of
the constitutionality of the road capitation tax
was very carefnlly considered by the Judiciary
Committees of both tho House and Senate, and
their conclusions were very dear. For al
though tho Constitution prohibits any othor al>.
mints capitation tax than the one dollar, to be
devoted Co educational purposes, yet the right
10 impose road labor on the citizen cannot be
challenged, and the Legislature has certainly
the further right to permit the citizen to com
mute that labor for money if be chooses to do
ao; and this is all that the bill undertakes to do.
In diaeossiog tho proposed tax on tieasts of
burden and vehieles tho equity of the tax waa
r inoeded, hut tho ConaUtution expreaaly de
Clares that “taxation on property shall lie ad
valorem only, and uniform on all species of
property taxed.” This seemed to bo a concia
hive bar to a lax which waa recommended by the
equitable principle of graduating the Ux, aa
near as possible, according to tba individual
benefit received from the roads. It waa thought
that perhaps this idoa might be approximately
carried ont by a liernie Ijj■ imposed on all homes
and vehicles using the county highways, but
Mr. Bacon did not feol authorized to put the
provision in that shape without some indication
of ooncurring public judgment.
Wo allnde to three matters particularly, l>e
oauae no dooht other counties in the Stats will
be intereale] in the subject, and tho general
ideas of Ibis bill will oltimatelv take the form
of law in very many of them. Now, a road
revenue might be raised—first, by a license
tax on horses, mules, oxen, wsgons and el*
other vehieles nsing the public highways—from
which, of oonrae, mere plantation animals and
oonveyaoota would be exempt. Second, by a
oommutable capitation tax, as provided in this
bill; and third, in case the revenue from these
sources foil short, by assessing a pro ratum
upon the Stale revenue tax of the oounty. As
Ihiatax, like all others, should be levied with a
ronaolenlions regard to all the equities of tho
osse, we think the capitation tax should he low,
and it might well be left to the discretion of
the oounty authorities, tho legislature fixing
only a maximum.
With a good revenue for tho purpose—intel
ligent road commissioners and contractors, and
steady work upon the highways by gangs just
at railways uro worked, people would soon see
the economy of the plan and traveling and hanl
tng over the pnblio roads would oeaae to bo i
scandal and a vexation. If all the roadways to
the market towns wero in fine order they would
see a great differcnco In tradoand the econo
mies of life.

Sziutob Nobwood Hxxtxii.—Among the pleat,
tut intelligence in onr last, waa the Mating of
Mr. Norwood in tha United Statea Senate, and
the consequent final political extinguishment of
Foster Blodgett, who, we trust, has at last gone

float such a man aa Foster Blodgett, were cer
tainly fit for nothing bat moccaaains and catfish.
It is a sign of clearing when Faster sinks at last
down deep into the mod Beyond this; it is,
no doubt, a good augury that Congress and the
Federal Government will respect the notion of
this Legislature and the Constitution and laws
of the State, and refaae to aid or abet the fac
tious course of acting Gov. Conley. We repeat
the expression of onr opinion that Senator Nor
wood will at onoe take a highly respectable posi
tion in the Senate, and by the fairness and pro
bity of his character, and the soundness of bis
intalleet, daily gain influence and consideration
in that body.
W. G. WuinuT, Esq —We were pleased to

We are gratified to see that age has not dimmed

Moreover, it ia a good sign that he still stleka

We hope, on the oontrary, that after January

they can, that alono creates dull limes and po-
cuniary atringoncy.
In the past iix yoxrs we have answered every
constantly recurring propheoy of a coming

whether there is any reason or philosophy in

esn understand how almost universal bank

The building is oommodious, and very elegant

Iu singing, tho pupils kept admirable time
and several performed on tho piano and violin

tbo entertainment was charming throughout,
and gaVb the highest evidence of the superior
skill and training of the instructors.
Tho children were also examinod in arithme

Suiuucr's One Term Reaolutlou.
Mr. Somner, on Tuesday, announced in tho
Senate hia purpose fo bring forward a joint res-

Mr. Simmer's resolution, it is needless to say,
will not go through- otherwise it would shut
out Gen. Grant from tho accomplishment of his
aU-oousuming project for re-election to tho Pres
idency ; sad to this he holds a large majority of
Congress already secured. Bat Mr. Bmnner,
whan he brings forward that resolution will, no
donbt, support it in an elaborate speech upon
the miachievions results upon tho country of the
persistent and systematic intrigues of tho Presi
dent for re-election, which will be, at least,
very annoying to Grant and hia men. if it does
not add foree to tho grosring pnblio opinion
against administrations wielded altogether In
the interests of their own snooession- This will
bring up the whole subject in the Senate and
make a lively time after the holidays. Wall,
we are glad that Beconstrnction and the Ku-
klux and tha Southern Rebels are to givo place
in Congressional debates, at length, to some
other matters.

Con-let's Repudiation Thwabted—The Ik-

cbeb Undib the Code will Pat this Intxbest
in Spite or Conlet.—The Code contains tho
following section, No. 959: “An amount of
money stands annually appropriated sufficient
to pay the principal and interest of sny bonded
debt of the State becoming duo daring the
year.”
Under the above section of the Code, which
provides for tbs payment of interest dne on the
loaded debt of the State, the Tretsnrer, Dr.
Angier, informs ns snd requests us to state that
he has made and is making preparations to pay
the interest dne on onr old bonds, and appropri
ated by the Legislature, but vetoed by the act
ing Executive. It will be seen that an act of
the Legislature is not really necessary for tho
payment of interest, though in an excess of
cantion it has been done. Bnt aa the acting
Executive is disposed to nsehia influence to put
the Steto in an attitude of a repndiator, against
the will of the citizens, the enacted purpo .am f
the Legislature and against the law, the Treas
urer has with his usual promptitude and nerve
stepped forward to relieve the State from tho
most odious snd damaging position in which Mr.
Conley has tried to place it.
Thus are the real repndiatora thwarted. Thus
does the State show its determined purpose to
>ay every dollar it legally owes. Tiros is the
nfamons charge of repudiation falsified, and
driven back upon its malicious and disappointed
originating.
TIio Atlantic Monthly on Grant.
The Atlantic Monthly would be nothing if not
Radical, bnt it appears that oven it haa beoome
surfeited of Grant la the political department
of tho January number, the magazine thus dis
courses about Grant and his administration:
Neither the Ginoinnali Commercial, nor the
Chicago Tribune, nor Ihe Springfield Republi
can, nor the New York Tribune, would bo dis
pleased if Gen. Grant failed in securing a re-
uomiuation. There are many reasons, too, why
Gen. Grant's continuance in the office wonld
be regretted by other people. As a role, mili
tary men are not tho stuff to make good states-
men for an nnmiUtary and commercial society.
For the most part they entertain a professional
contempt for tow, even when they avow their
loyally to it. Of this peculiarity God. Grant’s
administration has given at least one signal
illustration. Declaring himself firmly opposed
to intervention in the affairs of foreign nations,
he has for some time past maintained a protec
torate of San Domingo, which ia in reality
an iUegal war against Hayti, carried on in
the teeth of a distinct provision of tho Con
stitution. Again, dearly General Grant seems
ignorsut of tho elementary principles of eco
nomical scionoe to the extreme of believing that
the chief source of the wealth of this country is
to bo found iu the mines of California. His
system of appointments has been unintelligible.
Appointments such as Mr. Murphy's and Consul
General Butler’s aro possible, we see, because
commissions have been issued to them; but how
tho Kune man who appointed Mr. Murphy and
Consul General Butler should also have ap
pointed Mr. Fish and Judge Hoar, is inexplica
ble. Besides all this, be has shown a singular
want of delicacy, to say tbo least, in reoelving
innumerable presents, snd indirectly profiting
himself ont of government contracts. To own
stock in a commercial enterprise is one thing,
but to own stock in a corporation which is daily
making valuable contracts with the departments
at Washington, i», for the President of tho
United States, qnite another. YVe do not im
pugn his honesty. He is no donbt innocent of
all share in the management of the ‘administra
tion quarry,’ bnt such a scandal ought not to be
possible."
Beecher on Amnesty lop flic South
From the Christian Union.]
There is one question awaiting Congress at
ita coming session which ought to be courage
ously met and made an end of. There may be
no popular clamor to press it, it may be possible
again to postpone action on it without immediate
and visible roinous consequence t, yet every con
sideration of patriotism and statesmanship de
mands that action be taken. We say, then, let ns
have done with punishing the Somh; let us no
longer humiliate those who have had so many
humiliations. Is not the nation strong enough
to risk the admission of these men to fnU polit
ical privileges I Are we not forgiving enongh
to have done with the inflietion of pains and
penalties? Are we not wise enongh to cease
trying to promote peace by a policy of exasper
ation ? There ia especial reason for decrectaf
universal amnesty at this time. The oontro
of the national government waa never so secure
to the Republican party. There ia no longer
any danger of s reversal of the measures that
secure the black man's rights. Towards the
other great source of disturbance, Congress and
the President have taken eTeiy measure of re
pression. Let them now tarn to the other
bolt of the work. They have struct at the
ont-orepping evil weed; now let them
deal with the soil whence the weed springs.
We esn never get to the root of the Ku-klox
trouble, we can never lestore the South to pros
perity snd weld it in onion of heart with the
real of the nation simply by measures of repres
sion. There is a work of magnanimity and
trust to be done aa well, and it is foil time that
the work was wrought The great measure
should not be marred by any reservations and
exactions. If five hundred or fifty or five men
are singled ont to remain nndcr the ban, the
practical benefit of the measure will be greatly
impaired. We want it to speak to the Southern
people a menage of free and fearleas good will
It can only bear that message effectively, as it
is unqualified and absolute in ita terms.

How tbo Missouri Radicals have De
veloped the School Fund of that
State.
A SL Louis dispatch to tho Western press
says:
The State Board of Education have made a
report, which ia published here this morning,
in which they give a detailed statement of the
enormous frauds practised in the disposition of
the swamp lands donated for school proposes.
It is stated that, if the sales of these lands had
been honestly conducted, the State would now
bare a county school endowment of $13,000,000,
which, added to the present fond, wonld make
not lea* than fourteen million. Over one mil
lion and a half of aerea have been squandered.
The responsibility of this ta charged upon the
oounty courts. The report says that many conn-
ties have drawn upon the school fund to erect
eorot-honsea, jail*, bridges, railroads and ex:
rating river*, etc. In one oounty one hundred
and fifty thousand acres were subscribed for a
railroad. One hundred and seven thousand
were sold on execution to satisfy a judgment
against the county, and afterwards fifty thousand
acres of the land so sold were given to an attor
ney to get the land back. This is but one of
the many similar cases. The board recommends
that tho oounty court be required to levy a spe
cial tax to reptaoe the aohooi fnnda iUegaUy need.
They ask that the Bchool Board attorneys be
authorized to institute proceeding* to reocrer
the funds and lands squandered by oorotties, and,
when neoasaary, to mandamus the oounty court*
to levy uxe*.

Let the yoang ones be merry, with f rolio and flash,
