Since Harrisons election the sun does not shine so brightly as before Hereafter we will get our in ettuctions and confidential advice from the North Georgia Citizen. Shou Id a republican candidate appear for one of our county of fice./, wo world almost bet oh him beidg elected. 4. r" When we bow the big Democratic turn out in Chattanooga Monday night, we though f Bn* wo o elected by 1( 000 majo ity, but ..aiae! A county court v oul not cost tho county exceeding a y< ar, and had we such a court at present it save the county more than twice that much now in sight, A man who would send his boy to the printing office that ho may eureptjtiously procure a paper shonld be visited by an avenging thunderboli from Heaven, and be strickened from the face of the earth. — Our county jail should be so ar ranged as to make the connection of the dwelling and jai! more r * mote.

Unlike our prudecesors our mot to is not “neutral in all things” but we shall endeavor to disclose our position upon all questions of pub lic importa ncC. Mai may say ‘‘if thats your position you need not offer yourself for public office etc,” but we are not a seeker for public preferment,'and wiil speak out our sentiments, and powers of Heaven and Hell combi r.ed will not deter us from expressing our honest andunpredudiced conviction THE ROAD LAW. We are opposed to & direct tax for road purposes as in the manner proposed. Our worthy Represen tatives propose to be guided by the wishes of their constituents in this matter and it is right that we should weigh the matter carefully then record our views by present ingthem to our Legislators, Many men, when a question is presented to there minds at once form conclu sions merely from abstract ideas, andTrom the circumstances around them,“or see the good things that are likely to come and convince themselves without rcconing the cost of the final results to be ob tained, Oh we are to have good roads and are to be releived from all' manaul labor upon them — yes, we‘are for'ajax for road pur poses. If you have "decided this question of the proper means for obtaining good public roads, from what source of reasoning did yOu arrive at such a conclusion, and where.is your flgure'sheet! Com mence at home by summing up the results, the new lav; would bring to'the 960th*Pist, and let us see how we arc benefited. whom is shift d’th*\burdsns? and who aretha most aide to bear them? In the 960th Dist. there are ninety persons subject to road duty, and say it requires ten .days to.' work aud keep up our public roads, we have the facts under the present order of things—a total of 900 day work for one man. The tax. digest shows $156,000 worth of taxable property in the 960th Dist. and to leavy the highest tax under the proposed new’ law (20 cents on the hundred)We could raise s3l2,Cb for road purposes,.which allowing one dollar per day for labor, v/onld give us 312 days work for one mg£ as against the 900 days work neces sary to keep up oui roads—atid the difference would show the class ot roadsjwe would have. Such grand results are obtained by adding ons third more to your present State tax, Our principal \yealth is in vested in farming interests, an industry' not, producing any enormous profit, indeed the farmers of this county are the most oppos ed ot our citizens, and you fre quently hear this remark, “I would rather be the tenant than the fal mer”. From thi3 source then, would aiise the (principal part of the taxes to be collected. V here is the farmer who does not feel that his taxes are already higher than he can bear, and who is no', strained to the last notch in pay ing them? W here is the farm paying <• profit of 5 per cent on the eaoital invested. It ,is said “that ■ a.r iarmes are "not worked, our farmers do not try,” in the name of mill, of justice and for the bon net cithene of Dade county we re peal the charge. Our position 1 then is good roads cannot be ob tain-d in the" manner proposed, without financial ruin upon this county. One year would not pro duce it, but just as sure as fate '•he future would tin fold to us the er rorsof an oppressive legislative, unthougbtly enacted, and carried out to the everlasting rfiin to the in e outs we sought to benefit. Unlike m Iteyublican Senate we do not condemn the evil without ottering a r medy, but we would lay aside t’-e iuiquotons law-- < t the, present .mo c< n lenm the direct tax svs •uu. aiiU : o.Ver a chain cing-systen; and a ia c ; ufliciont only >o carry r ,ul as a substitute for tin- whole i'hi; vi’-uld re] - \*e the ‘‘poor nan' , ,-f a)! kis Lurde; e and leave only 1 a [U.dl Mil lor U,u 1 rojK'i'tj. ov. ner to pay. Wfc have only space thi. week to offer our substitute, and give views in opposition to the pro posed law, but we “throw down the gauntlent” and any man may pick it up who feels able to defend it. If we are wrong, God knows we are ready to be convinced of the “error of our w ay.” COXTY COURT ITS ADVANTAGES. We are very much in favor of a county court for Dade County up on principles of economy and for the advantages gained by a speedy trial of misdemeanors and of cer tain civil cases on which, the court would jhave jurisdiction. Every hour consumed by the Superior Court in the trial of one cf these minor offences costs the coumy a considerable amount of money, whereas the judge of the county court would try all misdemeanors witheuta jury unless one was speci ally demanded, and in that case only twelve men would be summon ed, and at a very small expense to the county. Fees of the judge in all cases w, ould be paid by the liti gants, and the amount to be paid him by the county would be fix ed by the grand jury, and depend upon the amount of work he had done for the county, Offenders in misdemeanor cases could be tried at once, and wou Id not be kept in the county jail from one court to another at a heavy expense to the county, A county court is what this county needs, LEGAL NOTICES.
