To the Free Press : I notice in your paper that you arc a fer vent and strenuous.advocate of a public or free school for the city of Cartersville. While I frequently endorse your inten tions or motives, I do not always endorse or espouse your judgment. And think in this fervent advocacy of yours to as sist by your free school project to restore our little town to her former and legiti mate prosperity, your judgment is very greatly at fault, nor do I think you have given this subject that critical and seru tinous examination a good business man, financier and public journalist should. To advocate a free school in Carters ville under the provisions of the bill now before the legislature would be advoca ting one of the most iniquitous, unjust and nefarious measures ever advocated. It is advocating the worst of agrarianism, and by taxing the products of the hard earnings of one man to support another. Education is mental food and a luxury, and when a man can afford it for his family he should enjoy it; but he should not tax and burden another class of our very best citizens, that he and his family may enjoy it. Food and raiment are necessities of life, and why not with equal justice tax our best citizens to furnish the others with these necessities? lam loth to be lieve that those who advocate a free school for our town do so as a matter of public interest and out of patriotic pur poses. If there are any who do candor forces me to say that their judgments err. Why such a project is unjust in every re spect. Think of it! Here is the man advocating it who pays $2 tax or per chance $5 or $9, and his tuition per an num is from SSO to $l5O yearly. Now, who pays, under your free school system, that balance of his tuition after deduct ing what tax he pays! It is parties who are not in the least benefited by the school. Is that just? Is that honesty? Yea, is it not inexcusable, unvarnished selfishness?—The curse, the enenty of our town, the one great bonanza that stands in the path of her prosperity and {Jfogress. Is this not a raid of agrarian ism on your neighbor? But the advo cates of this nefariously iniquitous and unjust measure, say it will bring people ipto our town, and add to its prosperity. Nay, none so ignorant as to believe that; is it not a cover for their brazen selfish- ness ‘L Let us see how it would operate. We already have too great a proportion of people in our town without means. We need more people with more money; not more people without money. Too many of that kind now. We need capital to develop our bounteous natural resources, and give employment to our labor and make wealth. We need more money to utilize our labor. The wealth producing element, labor, is here, but there is no capital to put it in operation. Capital is a sensitive thing, and it will not venture where it is not protected and made re munerative. It will not go where it is burdened. Now, by legislative enact ment place upon our little town a bonded debt and increase our tax, would a man of capital come among us with his mon ey to give employment to our labor and buildup our town? Would he come where the very best piece of property in town is now with two-thirds of its value or first cost gone, and not paying over one per cent, per annum, and the owner not able to insure it. No, never! Then should you put an addition one per cent, tax on it and a bonded debt, binding ev erything of every person? You would not only prevent others from coming, but w ould drive out the best class of our citizens. In all candor, can any man in town a fiord to pay, as we did last year, $9.50 state and county tax on the SI,OOO, and then $4 municipal tax, making $13.- 50. And to this add the one per cent, contemplated by the bill, making an ad ditional $lO on the SI,OOO, which would make in all the fabulous sum of $23.50 on the SI,OOO tax. No property owner in town could afford to pay this sum and the sheriff and marshal would have to dispose of the property to pay it. And who would want such property ? Will this state of affairs make a town? I an swer, No! It will soon demolish and depopulate it. Yet they say it w ill in crease the value and profits of the prop erty of our town. What, by bringing in a greater number of beneficiaries ? By increasing the proportion of the benefi ciaries to the benefactors ? Who would a free school bring into our town ? Would any man of means be brought to it for such a pitiful consideration as a little tui tion?' Would he not go to some city where property is on the increase in val ue and where there would be a better class teachers and a better and more perfect management of schools ? It could only bring to our town citizens of no means, and we already have too great a propor tion of that class. Aou would by this means bring from the farms white and colored people who are now producers and make of them vagabonds, for our best people to educate their children. You will thus derange our agriculture, one of our main stays, and damage our best planting interest. You thus seek to tax some of the cardinal virtues of men, to-wit: industry, a desire to accumulate somethihg for old age and to be an ad vantage to society and neighbors. And that to sustain and support the vices ot idleness and a reliability upon others for a support by a foraging agrarianism. The present system of free school pro posed would be controlled by municipal politics and would always enter in our town elections; and as it would require a citizenship of only ten days to make a voter qualified, it would place our taxa tion and free school system in the hands of a class of our population who would CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 14, 1879. have no interest in the prosperity of our town. It is said by ome that popula tion is wealth. That is true, when the population are industrious and will work, or where they ate intelligent and virtu ous. But when it is composed of a class that will not use their muscle to an ad vantage, or where they have no intelli gence or virtue as the class the free school system would bring to our town, they are impoverishing. Or, where there is not enough capital to utilize labor, as is the case in our town, laborers become also a burden for want of an implement or as sistant with which to labor. The friends of this iniquity of free school claim it would improve values of property. Can you improve the value of property by in creasing the burden upon it ? Can you improve the value of property by taxing from it all its profits and entering upon its corpus? Can you build upon a town by an increase of taxation and placing over its property a bonded debt? Would you not, by increasing the tax of the business men of our town, force them to raise their profits on their goods to live ? Is there a business man in town who is more than making a living for himself and famify? Would this increase in profits, he would have to place on his merchandise to be enabled to meet his in creased tax, force our country friends to other markets? Would we not then howl louder with jealousy of Rome and Acworth? Is not the man who has money and spends it for real estate im proves it the only true exponent in build ing up a town ? W ould not he give employ ment to mechanics? Would not he build up manufactories and give employment to labor? Would any man invest money in a town where it would not pay and where it would be burdened, embarrassed and rendered profitless! Is there a small town in the state that has ventured to risk such an experiment as a free school supported by an ad valorem tax, collected from a property that is already a burden to its owner? No,’none. Athens, the Mars hill oT Georgia, yes of the south, snd whose property is increasing in value and gives to its owners profit, Is not willing to risk such an experiment but is trying to establish a free school by sub scription. Athens, with her justness to all, will not force one class of her people to become benefactors to another class whether they w ant to or are able to give or not. She does not propose by legisla tive enactment to rob one class for the benefit of another. She has too much justness to place the minority of her best citizens at the mercy of the thajority, to burden them lor their good. She does not think of trying to build herself up in this way. But they say Atlanta has a free school. So she has: hut her proper ty is on the increase hi value, her profits on investments in property are good. She can afford the luxury. Her city government is more perfect and wise, the laws for her government are more rigid, the workings of her municipal machinery are more complete and per fect. We cannot make a pigmy or dwarf bear the burden of a giant. We are not able to make a mountain of a mole hill. We are poor and must have poor ways, and the sooner we recognize this fact the better for us. Does not the funda mental laws of the land guarantee the protection of person and property. Then would our municipal government, fail or refuse to protect the person and prop erty of one class of her citizens, to pro tect or benefit the person of another. If this free school project was abandoned who would be injured. But suppose it was on us would it not benefit one class and injure another. Then why not let us remain in the status to which the gen eral law has remanded us under our pres ent free-school system of our State. If such a project would build up our town, why are not our heaviest tax payers in favor of it ? If it improves their profits and the value of their property why do they not favor it ? Why do not that class of men who have show n themselves capable of making and managing property favor it ? Why has more than four-fifths of the property of our town spoke in petition to the legislature against it? They have judgment sufficient to know the follaoyof such an insidious decay. They know the damage that would follow to our town. Why demagoguerj' of thus arraying the interest of the property holder and ener getic business man, and the non-property holder, and idleman against each other ? When a sensible man comes among us, and thinks of settling in our town is not one. of the first questions he will ask, Has your town any loaded debt, is she in debt, what is your tax? How does pro perty rate in value, what per cent does it pay on money invested in it? And if told you are in debt, and have bonds out, and that he will not be able to insure it and pay tax, and that he cannot realize more than from one to two per cent, per annum on an investment, would he invest? It is the man who puts his money in real estate, and improves it that builds up your town, and if it is not profitable to invest and improve he will not do so. Patriam in Amo Re. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION. To The Free Press: Shall Cartersville have a public school system ? This is the question that is now being agitated. It is one of no little con sequence. Not a few of this town’s most prominent citizens are in favor of it, while some oppose it. Although the editor of this paper has kindly solicited a discussion of the sub ject in his columns, yet none seems to be desirous of expressing their views. Per haps each one is waiting for some one else to make a beginning. Now-, my opinion is that whether chil dren shall grow up in ignorance or not, is no question for government of any kind. The education of children is a du- ty that devolves solely and entirely upon parental authority. When government undertakes to wrest from the hands of parents the education of their children, it violates the object for which it was fram ed, and runs counter to the wise teach ings of Jehovah. ‘‘Can the public school system be main tained in Cartersville w ithout burdening the property holders with too heavy a rate of taxation? If so, then, by all means, we should have the public school system inaugurated at once.” Ido not think so: and my reasons are many and various. We are, indeed, in the midst of a revo lution, wrought by steam, electricity, applied science and art. The present times are specially characterized by in dustrial change and progress. Men do not need to be more honest, truthful, brave, trusty, quick of understanding, and sound in judgment, than of old. Nor do they need to be more industrious; but, the labor to which they are called is more diversified, demands more intelli gence, skill, aptitude and taste. The days when ignorant labor could thrive have gone by forever; it is no longer “rule of thumb,” but rule of reason, which the workman may safely take for his guidance, in the face of world-wide competition. But, assuredly, it is an impossibility to educate all the children of the land. Nothing can be more absurd than to think of doing such a thing. “But,” says some one, “if we only bad a public school in our midst, how many pdor children, now unable to do so, could attend school!” Granting this to be true, would it be just and honorable to set up in our midst a mammoth charity school—an eleemosynary institution — supported b}‘ taxes paid by all the inhabi tants in common, when only some of those inhabitants will reap an advantage from it? Most assuredly it would not. Again, children are the creatures, and, as such, the property of God. He com mits them to their parents —not to a mu nicipal government —as His representa tives to receive and train them. Parents, therefore, are God’s officers to teach their children; and this truth lies at the foun dation of His moral government, and the practical experimental knowledge of which is essential to the excellence, use fulness and happiness of every human being. That parent, then, who volunta rily surrenders to the government under which he lives, his children to be train ed and taught by it, is false to himself, to his country and to his God. Such an idea as inaugurating a public school syetem, for the education of the people, never entered the minds of such babes in statesmanship as Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Marshall, &e. But this great philanthropic, and patriotic work was reserved to illustrate the luminous patriotism and intellgienee of the present day. How very far we have drifted from the simplicity of our fathers! Again, government, with equal propriety should have a mammoth barn, where all that the inhabitants produce is to be placed for the public good. Is there a man in this entire land so very foolish as to advocate such a procedure as this? Such a man would justly deserve the cen sure and contempt of all good and honest citizens. And yet, there are many men in this town who would not think of do ing this, but are remarkably anx'xis for the public school system to be inaugura ted. Such a class of men never seem to think that the principle involved is the same; that one is to benefit the physical, the other the mental powers' of the in habitants. Aliquis . THE GREAT TRIAL. The Rules Adopted Governing the Im peachment of Col. Goldsmith. Mr. Howell, chairman of the committee to prepare the rules for the government of the senate, pending the impeachment trial of IV. L. Goldsmith, submitted the following as the rules, which were adop ted. It is interesting reading matter. No 1. When the house of representa tives shall notify the Senate of the ap pointment and direction of managers to bring the article of impeachment into the senate, the president, unless other wise ordered shall direct the secretary forthwith to inform the house that the senate is ready to receive the managers for the purpose of exhibiting such articles. When such managers shall appear at the bar of the senate and signify their readiness to exhibit such articles, the president shall direct the doorkeeper to make proclamation according to the order in such cases provided. Whereupon the doorkeeper shall make the following proclamation; “Oyez, Oyez!” All per sons are commanded to keep silence, on pain of imprisonment, while the house of representatives exhibits articles of impeachment against Washington L. Goldsmith, comptroller-general of this state. The managers shall then read the articles, whereupon the president shall respond thus: The senate will take proper order on the subject of Oils im peachment of which the house of repre sentatives will have notice. The managers retiring, the senate shall immediately fix the time for considering such impeachment, and send notice of such appointment to the house and to the chief Justice of the Supreme court and the secretary shall issue for the defendant an original and a copy summons bearing test in the name of Justice and of the president and in form as follows: The state of Georgia, ss. The senate of Georgia to Washington L. Goldsmith, comptroller-general, greet ing : Whereas the house of representatives of this state on the day of , 1879, exhibited to the senate articles of inpeachment against you, and said comptroller-general, in these words following: (Here insert the Articles.) and demand that you should be put to answer the accusations as set forth in said articles. You are therefore hereby summoned to appear before the senate of Georgia at their chamber in the city of Atlanta, on the day of at o'clock, then and there to answer to said articles of impeachment, am] to abide by, obey any judgments as the senate of Georgia shall make in the premises according to the constitution and the laws of said state. Herein fail not. Witness, Chief Justice ol' the Su preme court, and /president of the senate of said State, this clay of 1879. Secretary of senate, State of Georgia. Said summon shall be served by tie messenger of the senate on the defendant personally or by leaving a copy at his resi dence at least two days before the time appointed, of which service the said messenger shall make return on said origi nal. 5. The time having arrived the presi dent of the senate shall announce as fol lows: “According to order the senate w ill now be organized as the High Court of impeachment of the State of Georgia for the trial of Washington L. Goldsmith comptroller-general,” whereupon said Chief Justice shall assume the chair and present the following oath, and the sec retary calling from the roll: “You solemnly swear (or affirm) that iu all things appertaining to the U'ial of the impeachment of \Vashington L. Gold smith notv pending, you will do impar tial justice according to the constitution and laws of this state, so held you God.” Senators coming in afterwards shall take the same oat h. 6. The court being thus organized, the justice presiding shall inquire of the man agers it they are ready to proceed. Should they reply in the negative ancLask further reasonable time it may be granted by the senate on motion. But should they be ready the secretary shall proceed to ar raign the defendant as follows: “Washington L. Goldsmith attend the articles of impeachment which the house of representatives has exhibited against you, and say are you guilty or not guilty,” and shall read said articles. Upon motion of defendant or his counsel such time may be allowed to plead as the senate may adjudge reasona ble. Should the defendant appear in person or by ceunssl, the fact of his appearance and by whom shall be recorded ; if he fails to appear, and no other appointment tor such appearance is made, his non-ap pointment shall be recorded, and the trial may proceed in his absence as on plea of “not guilty.” In examining witnesses the rules of the Superior courts of this state shall prevail; but a witness who is a senator, having been sworn, shall testify at his seat. 10. Should a senator desire a question put to a witness it shall be reduced to writing and put by the presiding Justice. 11. Counsel not exceeding two for each party may be heard. 12.

True—‘The man that will take a news paper for a length of time and then send it back refused and unpaid for would swallow a blind dog’s dinner, and then stone the dog for being blind.’ ‘He would do worse than that, He would marry a girl on trial, and send her back with the words ‘don’t suit’ chalked on her back after the honeymoon.’ ‘Worse than that: He would steal the chalk to write it with, and afier'wards use it on his shirts, to save the expense of washing, and then sue his wife’s father for a mouth’s boarding.’— Standard. ‘Worse yet. He’d chase a sick rat ten miles over a corduroy road, and institute apostmorten examination after he had caught him, in order to recover a stolen grain of corn.’— Morgantown Star.

QUININE. [New York Tribuue.j Quinine has gone up. The poor, fe ver-stricken patient finds his pills dearer than ever. The two or three American manufactures thereupon dance with war whoops-of delight and shout, “We told you so!” Of course they did. They knew very well what day they would raise the price, and how far they wou Id raise ir. They knew’just as well that their time is short: they must have the market in their own hands as yet, and are willing to make this extortionate profit out of the immediate needs of the public. None of the manufactured ar ticles, which is to come in free of duty, has as yet been ‘imported. When it comes in the price will fall to its proper level, and nothing they can do will keep it up. There is no real reason for the present rise, the manufactures having stock in hand sufficient for many months, except their desire to reap as large as harvest from their long monopoly'as pos sible. EADS ISTHMUS RAILROAD PROJECT. Capt. Eads, of jetty fame, is in Wash ington talking up the great project of con necting the two oceans at the Isthmus of Darien by means of a gigantic railroad which will take ships bodily over. All that is necessary is a railroad big enough, and trucks strong enough. The car is to be in the shape of a cradle, end run under the ship, taking her out of one ocean, and landing her in the other, cargo and all in twenty-four hours. lie w ill remain in Washington until he has brought his plan to the attention of the government. The cost, he says will be three-fourths less than the proposed canal. Captain Eads is in the highest spirits over the success of his jetty plan, and if he can get government encouragement, will embark in the inter-oeean project w ith all the energy and money he can command. A correspondent of the Chicago Trib une contends that the retail druggist makes 150 per cent on quinine ‘hus: grains at 2 cent a grain gives $-3.75. Let the cost stand at $3.50 an ounce, though it has been less for months, and you have a clear profit of ss.2s—just 150 per cent. As the calculation is made for the region of Chicago, w r e do not pretend to say that it applies elsewhere. A gentleman from Mississippi says that .Jefferson Davis will make a mint of money out of his hook, which is to be published this fall by the Appletons. The general expectation is that it will have a tremendous sale, and bring the author a handsome income. There is one specially good feature about basket picnics.
