If the Board have done aught than this

And does any man doubt that Governor

-Netlong since the editor ofthe Her.
aid of Freedom informed the young
ladies in Kansas that they could pre-:
-empt 100 acres ofland. Some of the
strong-minded ones who were diciples
ofhis at that time squated on different
claims III the southern part Of the
Territory which had lately come into
market. The pre4emptial law says:
@The individual claiming the ben.
efts Of said acts must be either the
head Of q family, Ok a widow. ora sin.
gle man over the age Of twenty-one.'
Theyoung ladies, not fulallingeith-
er ofthe requirements, have adopted
Mrs. Cunningham's plan Of borrow
ing babies, in order to swear that they
are the "head Of afamily." They gen.
orally board them one week and make
them one dress for the privilege OF
using them. Young misses Of sweet

1 Public Works,

The time o fmeeting of the General AIS.
semblY Of Virginialis approaching, and al
the sessions are now short, as well as
biennial, it is we'll that the grave cues
tons To- come before it should already Be
receiving consideration. The raili Dad
companies and the communities interes.
ted IN them are looking forward to 1t for
relief from present embarrassments, and
aid their projected operations. The
James RiVerand Kanawha Canal is as in
eEitable and regular id its demands oil
the the State - The taxsgatherer is upon
the citizen. These improyernsats,so I'M
Portant to the people,, are indeed all Very
necessitous. It remains to be examined
how far the State Treasury is in d con
dition, and what iis resources, to meet
their demands. If any thing may Be
done, it can be wisely accomplished only
aftera patient study Of our position. The
time has passed far windy rhetoric and
for the Idle trusts and t.hopes' that
something will be done which indo-
leanpce offers at the altar ofpublic duty IS
the price of indulgence.
The amount Of money required to meet
the States liabilities for the two wears
ending Sept. 90. 1887, was estimated BY
the Committee Oh Finance Of the last
House Of Delegates at $6, 223. 888, u.s.
4 This is more than was legiIimalely due
to the expenditures of those two years, a
large sum having foated over as a legacy
from the deficient taxation of previous
years. The taxes were about doubled
By the last legislature, (1855-6, and the
revenue thus increased, will not only meet
The regular demands of the treasury, but
also discharge the floating debt alluded
to, during the present year. We will,
afterthe present year, be- able, either
somewhat to reduces the present taxes, or
extinguish an extra portion of the State
debt, Of make new appropriations cores
pending to the amount of the surplus
which the prestentrates will yield.
The Legislature sitting now only bien-
nially We have no official reports oflater
date than the session Of 1866. Bat

This would leave an annnalsurplus ID
the treasury, after We Have cleared otfall
floating indebtednesses, Of about $780,
1000, if the present rate of taxation be CON
tinuad. It must be added however, that
we are centingently liable for spbscrip-
tons and guarantees 10 the amount Of
about ten millions az dollars. 1T is not
probable however that the State will be
called On to any considerable extent, in
that quarter. Y
Iffthen the present taxes be continued,

But the tax-list mustbe revised. 1t is

We are persuaded thatIif under the pres

we must look out for new subjects, and
