TAXATION for Schools.

Many well meaning persons Judge
things by their defects-ne9er weighing
the good results. Education and the pub
lie school system Of laws are constantly so
Judged, not by the masses but by this par
ticular class of one idea men. But, a
more formidable though less numerous or
der of men exists all over the country: we
mean childless and wifeless, money souled
old bachelors and their like, misery IN n
such as take no interest in the world be-
yond their own pockets-who hold 'twould
be far better to have no children, better to
have fewer inhabitants-even better to kill
off all creation Bat themselves, that they
might possess al the earth and they live
solitary monarchs and die as gods, possess
ing the world. They cannot imagine that
property is benefited by education, or that
the property Of the country ought to edu-
cate The children In their view land and
money would just be as dear among In
dams and Hottentots as among Yankees.
Such men invariably hold that every man
should pay for the schooling of his own
children. They are formidable class of
men because of their temperate and plain
habits-being too stingy to indulge in the
luxuries dime would purchase, and just
enough morsels and rags to keep soul and
body together being all their reluctant out
lay Too lazy to work though, fearing to
gamble and steal and not disposed to beg,
they have plenty Of leisure and just enough
talents to go it their leng tn in damning all
the public schools, newspapers, religions
and educational institutions of the country.
Perpetual borrowers and readers of news
papers they never pay for one = supported
at the public charge as sort of legal
paupers, they never aid the public chart
ties only as compelled by law-ridiculing
idleness, they never labor-skeptics to-
wards every virtue, their souls are polluted
with malice against all human benevolence,
and not believing in living God they
claim exemption from all responsibility to-
wards God.
Such men are not expected to favor ed
ucation; they are ever ready to present to
crowd of loafers the terrible wrongs of a
particular school district which levied a
heavy school tax for building magniti-
cent $500 90 school house, when build
ING worth 5000 90 would have answered.
If they can but injure the reputation of a
devoted female teacher, their glory is CON
summatcd-tbe school system has received
"A stab.
We only deem it proper to describe the
men who thus oppose education and their
motives for doing so, that good men may
understand the cause. The school system
has its defects, and it is often abused by its
friends. When squad of men assemble,
armed with the prcrogative OF saying how
much money shall be raised by tax, they
often abuse their power. The building of
good school house in any district is, how
ever, more gain to the value of lands i'll
that district than the tax The levy of
ex:rayagant taxes for supporting schools is
wrong, but is less and less frequently re-
sorted TO.

DIFFICULTIES UNDER THE CoDE.-It il

DIFFICULTIES UNDER THE CoDE.-It is
suggested that gentlemen Of the legal pro-
fessien, who find difficulty in constituting
the Code of Procedure, on account Of In
|congruities existing between our statutes
and those of New York, to which it was
adapted, will do we'll to communicate theil
views to the Revisers of the Statutes, in or.
der that the code to be reported by them
next winter, may be made as perfect as
possible.
Two cases have been mentioned to us in
which difficulties have already arisen. Tn
the State Of New York, the process of gar,
nishee is altogether unknown, while the
writ of repleuin is unknown in Justices
courts. The Code, prepared to accompa
ny and act upon the laws Of New York, ig.
nores the garnishee altogether, and the re
plevin in justices courts. Hence of course
difficulties occur. Justice Smith, for in.
stance, constituting the code, thinks that his
power in these cases is gone, while Justices
Bode and Holland continue to exercise it
If the first is wrong, parties lose the bene-
fit ofvaluable writs; while if the other JUS
tees are wrong, their exercise Of power
gives the plaintiff nothing but trouble

How 20 Jmdge Human Character

The character of men, women, boys and
girls can always be known by the kind Of
books they read: those who prefer to read
novels and the Ike trash are sure to be
small minded and worthless; historical
readers have much wisdom; religious
readers are religious. and if not selfish are
conscientious; readers Of travel are filibus-
tiers; those who are fond of rea,ling ac
counts of murders, robberies, .seduetions
and other crime are sure to have animal
and criminal appetiies, only waiting an
opportunity to indulge in any wrong, the
gallows or penitentary being the chief ter
rors that keep them in the path of aver
age virtue. 1t is fortunate that human
character may be thus read by its actions
else suspicious Of the heart could ne, err a
rise till crime reveals Its nature.

FOR CHEF JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT
EDWARD Y. WILTON.

PsooREss.-Eight new Touring and
saw mills have been started II Grant
County within less than . year, and We
know Of six more that are building. We
do not include the Portable Saw mills III
operation, Of which there must re four 81
five. At the close of SO and 81 Grant
County will have just about double
as many mills in operation as she haa AZ
the beginning of SO. We might perhaps
promise the same progress III nearly every
thing else, except in few particulars
The population has not doubled in that
time though it will be not mach short OF
$4,000 at the close Of the year. Grant
has just about doubled her population In
five years, and by 1860 when the census
will be taken we estimate 10000 as the
probable result Though no Railroad
passes through the interior of the County
Rivers and Railroads pass all round it.

Old Grant-Her Character and
Men.

Hon. HARRISON REED, editor OF the
Coaservator, published in Winnebago
County, publishes in his paper the 70 low
mo allusion to Grant County, her men and
heir manners-her public men and their
invielding frunness in the right. The
compliment is about as high as can be
reached:
No County in the State presents more
marked and anomalous characteristics than
Old Grant. Judging her alone from hei
representatives. she must be regarded as a
nation BY hsrself-a unique speclmen--an
independent, uncommomisil G, outspoken,
|incorruptible people. From the first Or
ganizgtion of the Territory down to the
present, she has exhibited the same mark
ed characteristics. Her representatives
Annually appear at the seat OF govern
ment; but old Grant asks nothing anu
grants nothing. She takes no hand at
"log-rolling," forms no "entangiing ALI
|ances,' yields to no party behests, takes nc
underhand means, resorts to no tricks
To all schemes of fraud and to all in-roais
upon the public domain or treasure Il OBJ
ject, Mr. President" introduces her Sena-
tor and 'sthat amt right, Mr.. Speaker,
her representatives, and an emphatic No!
answers the roll-call. She asks less local
legislation than any other county and ia
ken all in all through successive years pre-
sents more unyielding moral and political
integrity than any other. Her editor, too
presents the same characteristlcs-Covei
follows in no beaten track but sustains the
right, regardless of consequences to party
or self. God bless implacable, impene-
trable, incomprehensible, uncompromiSing
Old Grant.
