COMMON SCHOOLS.

The present law gives the township
Trustees power to call meeting of the
voters thereof for the purpose of voting
for or against school tax, by giving 20
days notice; and they shall call such
meeting when required in writing to do
so by twenty of The voters of the town
ship. Some time since the Trustees of
Center township gave notice Cor meet
ing to be held at the court house on last
Saturday, but from some cause or other
we are told that only THIRTEEN(?) votes
were polled and eight of them were
against tax. The Trustees have given
notice in this paper for another meeting
on the 18th day OF June next. Is it pos
sible that there are but THIRTEEN persons
in this township who care enough about
this matter to come out and vote? We
think different, and will not be surpris-
ed if there should be general turn out
next time. Those who wish tax Of this
kind may not expect to get it unless they
vote for it, and those who think it unne-
cessary will doubtless be in attendance
when they learn that the friends of Tree
schools are determined to vote the tax.
The subject of education has too long
been neglected, and there are many prom
inent good citizens who are opposed to
raising funds by taxation, knowing as
they do that it is cheaper for most of them
than the old fashioned way Of paying by
subscription. 1t is true that some have
already schooled their children, but have
they no regard for the children of their
less fortunate neighbors, who under the
old system must remain in ignorance be-
cause their parents have not the means to
educate them? We trust every voter
will candidly consider this matter in all
its bearings aud act as they conscientious
ly believe to be right. You who can
read and write, think one moment, how
you would like to hear wealthy man re-

eating your children if you had not the
means to do anything for them your
selves?
The system of supporting schools BY tax
alton is new amongst us, and some time
must elapse and the people must have some
experience before all will come into the
ranks. There has never been an improve.
ment or new science discovered which
has not been met by strong opposition.
Prejudice is strong, and in order to con-
vince men that they have been in error
on any subject you must enlighten them.
They demand the evidence as they have a
right to. and when convinced thew GO
forward cheerfully.
Most men who oppose the system of
free schools are as honest as those who
differ from them. The system of free
schools is fast gaining ground The most
formidable opposition is from the Catho.
lies. They however do not oppose the
manner of raising the funds; it is the D.
preparation of them. They want the
funds divided. giving them their pro-
portionate share. Suppose this should
be done; what next? the Methodists would
ask for their share, the Presby:erians
Baptists, and so on. Rellgionisrs would
claim all the money. Then what would
become of that large class of the human
family who are not connected with either
of the organized churches? Where is
their portion? Must they be left in ig-
noTance? Begin to divide this common
fund and we open the door for strife
which must end in the connection of
Church and State.

See notice of Swamp Land sale in
Starke county. In Starke county there
is quantity of Swamp Lands" 20 sell.
Some of the lands a re said to be very good,
and there will undoubtedly be purcha-
sers for most of it either at the sale or
soon after. The draining of those lands
will be of incalculabe advantage to the
country; for in draining them. thousands
Of acres of land already owned by individ-
uals must be di tched and will become
good arabic land, which is now too wet
to do any thing with, in the way Of cult
waiting. We have heard OF some penuri
Gus persons in Northern Indiana, who are
opposed 10 having bitches cut through
their lands. OH account of Inconvenience;
Notwithstanding the value of their
land would be greatly enhanced thereby
The Legislature, however, has given the
Swamp land commissioners and engineers
the privilege of passing through any
lands necessary in order to carry out the
intentions Of Congress for retaining such
lands as were donated.
The Swamp lands in this county, when
properly ditched, will be valuable: and
one thing should he RENE bered by those
who wish to buy and design to become
actual settlers. that the dra lining will not
cost them anything. 1t is a fact well
known by many, that these wet lands are
the richest, and when dry will be the
most productive.
Those who desire to obtain little homes
would do well to attend the sale, for
spectators are already eagerly searching
for the best tracts. Have we not already
seen the result of spectators buying up
the good lands in large bodies? There
is scarcely neighborhood in our county
but has realized the evils Of such course.

had been there but few minutes when

Cincinnati and LOganspOrt Railroad.

Cincinnati and LOganSp0rt Railroad.
This road we are told will be ple-
Ted to LoganspOrt sometime during this
summer; end hose interested have de-
termined to extend the road, and the ques-
tion seems to be where will they connect
with the great northern roads. Chicago
was confidently spoken of at first as be-
ing the most suitable place for the much
desired connection. Subsequently, how
ever, it has been proposed TO make the
connection at Plymouth. as that would
save some 100000 to the company, and
the distance from Logansport TO Chicago
would not be materially increased. The
distance from Logansport to Plymouth
direct is AZ miles, and the distance from
here to Chicago is about 20 miles,
whereas from Logansport 10 Chicago the
distance is about 100 miles, and to go
on an air line. great portion of the route
would be in marshy wet country. whilst
OH the route to Plymouth the country is
good. and is already in state Of cult
Walton.
By connecting with the Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad at this place. a con-
ncciion with Philadelphia, Baltimore.
New York & Boston would be as we'll Sc
cured as though taken directly to Chica-
go. We think the plan Of securing the
connection with the Eastern cities and
The great North Western trade at Plym-
outh good one, and no doubt the stock
holders in the first named road will duly
consider the matter.
If the terminus of this road should be
at Plymouth, it will build up our town
and county beyond the expectations of
The most sanguine. The citizens of Full
ton county would also be greatly bene-
fitted; and we hear they are quite anx-
.ious. and becoming daily more interest
cd in the matter. The Editor of the Full
ton County Flag, in speaking of this
connection makes some good suggestions
III which we heartily concur. He SAYS:
1T is ated that the citizens of Logans-
port are discussing the propriety of ex-
tending the Cincinnati & Logansport, Or
Ohio river & Chicago railroad to Plym-
outh instead of Chicago. as was first con-
templated. We are Of the opinion that
connection with the Fort Wayne &
Chicago route at Plymouth would be
equally if not more advantageous TO Lo-
sansport than the continuation direct to
Chicago. The distance between Logans-
port and Chicago, if we are not mistaken.
is not much short of one hundred miles.
whereas. connection may he had at
Plymouth with road forty-two miles in
length. This would be saving in con-
struction distance of fifty eight miles,
and at least ssh 600 in capital. This
certainly would be desirable, and we
think the distance by way of Plymouth
10 Chicago would not be heightened more
than eight or ten miles. This small in
crease Of actual distance of travel would
not nterbalance the cost of making
the fifty eight miles of road. We call
the attention OF our citizens to this mat
ter. so that if connection is sought "a
Plymouth we may be ready to second
the movement"
