Ii il does, we shall consider the de-
cision as one of the most fortunate le-
gal plumbers ever made. We say blum
ders, for such it manifestly is. To
think that the people Of Indiana, in
adopting the Constitution, meant to
say that. in case of fire destroying a
Court House, the people Of the coun-
ty might not be taxed to build new
one or that town or township might
not determine to build a..better school
house or keep a better school than
their neighbors is preposterous. They
did mean TO say, not that the rate Of
taxation shall be uniform in all the
counties. but that the principle upon
which the tax is levied. shall be uni
form--that is to say, in one county the
assessment shall not be made on the
real estate alone in another, on the
personal property; in another thai
corporation stocks may be exempt
but that throughout the State il shall
be uniformly made upon the grand
levy.
But, II, in the language Of the deci
sion, "The inhabitants of one county
or township should not be compelled
to bear greater burdens than are borne
by ALL" how can the rate Of tax be il
one, 10 cents. and ia another, so cents
Won't il be nice to make all the coun'
ties in the State help pay for our new

/ SPEAKING At TIE CoURr HOUSE,
On Saturday night, according to no.
tice Mr.. J. duncan STUART, held
forth at tue Court House, to q very
good audience the time and state Of
weather considered. He opened his
discourse on The Politics of the day,
by attributing all the blessings Of the
age; all invention. all improvement
to the Democratic party; without
giving the manifest evils OF the day
any pareutage. We think him wrong
in this respect. Were zoe to trace
tie origin Of republicanism, and The
democratic form Of government, we
should 90 back, at least as far as the
day Of King James the First. and
Guy Fawkes, and trace it on up,
through the gunpowder plot. Mr..
David. N. Barrow, according to en-
gsgement followed, in answer
Though Mr.. Mr.. Barrow, is not the
orator Of his opponent, yet he produc-
cd formidable front, with an array
Of unanswerable facts, such as we
think, cannot be combatted with elo-
quent sophistry. Mr.. Stuart, closed,
in brief answer and all parties left
the room we'll satisfied, with the enter.
tainment.

| LOSES BY MA1L.-Independent Of
the delay and irregularity Of the mails,
We hear Of many complaints lately Of
losses, Of money and other valuables.
Indeed this department government
is in such a hopeless state of decay
under the inefficient Encouragement
Of Mr.. Campbell, that no reliance can
be placed in it. Sentimental young
gents should beware how they enclose
rings and other love tokens to 90
through the mail; and merchants,
should not remit a dime in money.
but obtain cheeks. The Registering
system, is what may we'll be denomi-
mated, a marvellous humbug," and

WHAT FREEDOM IS IN ENGLAND
The Rev. Geo. Henning, of little
Pardon, one Of her Majesty's Justices
of the Peace, recently committed to

two laborers, named Thomas and
George Collins. "for leaving their

That is, two of her Majesty's subjects
who are free by the glorious birth
right Of Englishmen," are sent to
prison for "absenting" themselves
for an afternoon to witness q review
ofthe Essex Yeomanry Artillery and
Cavalry" What a commentary on
the grand proceedings on the occas-
sion of the reception of Mrs. Stowe
by the Duchess OF Sutherland! What
a commentary on British philanthro-
py directed to relief in America Is
the British constitution and system Of
government party to such acts Of
wantou cruelty! It would seem SO ;
for her Majesty's Secretary, Sir Geor-
&c Grey, could SEQ no ground to
justify him in advising her Majesty to
extend " relief.

New TELEGRAPH L1NE.-It is
known that Messrs. Coleman & Mont
gomery, Of this city have in contempla-
ton the construction of direct line Of
telegraph between Memphis and New
Orleans. The proposed line is to con-
meet at Jackson. Mississippi, with line
now 10 course Of construction along the
railroad between that point and New
Orleans. A preliminary survey and
estimate have been made, which make
the whole length Of line less than five
hundred miles, and the cost to the
point of intersection at jackson. one
hundred dollars per matchmaking the
necessary capital about $4,000. If
this estimate approximate the real cost
and we have reason to think it will be
found very liberalD the line cannot
fail to be profitable to the stockholders,
as the cost Of construction and repairs
will he about fifty per cent. less per
mile than that of the lines now in use.
BY the present lines dispatches are
transmitted over one thousand miles
of wire, and transcribed four times on
IN average. The new line will be
less than five hundred miles long. and
will work directly through. The econo-
my in the cost and time of telegraph
ing by q direct line are sufficiently
obvious to commend the enterprise to

The success Of Rachel before the

things in this city are measured by
dollars, so the genius of Rachel has
been submitted to this touchstone,
