ROAD WORK.

That our Courts of Law are not always
Courts Of Justice, is remark we hear oc-
casionally made. and too often, perhaps,
appear to be well founded Or that they
are true opponents of the law even we may
sometimes have equal reason to doubt.
A case cited in the N. c. Democrat of
last week, under the caption of Road
Work" is highly illustrative of these two
points and deserves more than mere pass
ing notice. True it is that general infor-
nation should be given in respect to the
law in regard to supervisors duties and
authority; and also the liabilities of the
laborers under him. But, that such YER
dict as is referred to win ever accomplish,
this is utterly preposterous.
Whoever reads the statutes in regard to
this matter will find in Revised Statutes,
vol. 1st. page 463. IN sec. 6, of act prescri-
bling the duties Of road supervisors, that he
is required to call out the hands the definite
number of two days, and work them upon
the highways. 4 failure to do this sub
jects him to penalty. Sec. 26, the pre-
scribed number of days again definitely
noted.
No other work is required Of the laborcr
in any statute where there Is an assessed tar,
but at his option he may work out his equal
portion of tax. When there is no tax as
sessed the case is different The Snperyi-
sor may levy and work out an extra assess-
ment of work. What then is the duty of
the Supervisor! Simply to work the hands
of his district two days. If the roads re
quire more work it is his duty to get the
schedule or list of property and persons
owning the same in his district, and direct
the application of such labor as the tax
payers themselves may desire to work out
He cannot coercc any one. From those
not working the cornty Treasurer collects
the road tax and pays it over to the town
ship Treasurer for the benefit of the roads
The case cited was the working of a new
road or bridge. Very well. Chap. IL,
p. 20 and 81, general laws of 1857, directs
that on bridges Of sufficient merit the Coun-
ty Commissioners may appropriate from
the county road fund any moneys not 9th
crwise required. to that purpose. Again,
same chapt., Board of Township Trustees
have the same powers granted, for works
of minor merit.
Now, sir, here are specified directions
and ample powers given by the law; and
although the writer in the Democrat may
have onssrered the question fifty times, il
his decision differs SO palpably from the
true meaning and plainest construction of
the law as did that of the Green township
Squire. nc will never, Think, attain to such
an eminence in the legal profession as to
cause his head to grow dizzy.
The Squire did not, neither did the Judge
who confirmed the decision, learn, pro-
duce particle of law as basis on which
to predicate their decisions Would the
writer in the Democrat be so obliging as
to point out the law authorizing supervi-
sors to require more than two DAYS work
of any one, where there is a tax assessed
and unexpended in the township for road
purposes? w. j. II.

REPORT OF THE MARSHALL COUNTY
TEACHERS, ASSOCIATION.

The Association met at the Presbyterian
Church on Friday, August 7th, at 9 O clock,
PM. Rev. W. S. HAnkEE, of Plymouth,
President, called the meeting to ORDER
After singing by the choir, Rev. j. B. l..
SoULE addressed the throne Of Grace in
prayer.
The President then briefly addressed the
Association in regard to the great necessity
of an awakened interest in the cause of
Education. The minutes of the previous
meeting were read by MARK CUMMINGS, Of
Plymouth, the Recording Secretary; and
on motion of d. w. CoMsrocK they were
approved after slight amendment BY Rev.
j. b. l.. SoriE, changing the residence of
Rev. Mr.. LITTLE from Michigan City to
Madison. After singing by the choir, the
Association listened to an essay from Dr.
S. HIcISBoTHaa, subject, The Physical
and Mental Man, and one from DIR.
BnowS, subject, The Study of Physiology
in Schools" both Of which were listened
to with interest.
Then the choir discoursed sweet music to
the audience, after which JASPER PACKARD,
Esq, of La Porte, was callel upon, who
responded in very happy manner, alluding
to the memory Of old associations connected
with his former residence here both as a
citizen and teacher; he spoke also of the
interest that was newly manifcsting itself
throughout the State on the subject of Edu-
cation. He said that he was glad to find
the friends in Marshall county were making
a move in the right direction. Mr..
Johnson, of La Porte, was then called upon
who addressed the society for "a few mo-
ments, showing by his sentiments that he
is-alive to the advancement of education,
and closed with promise of something
more on the morrow.
c. II. REEVE, Esq. thou addressed the
Association in very spirited manner, show
ing the necessity of such an organization,
urging all to a renewed activity in the
work. and that all should use their infu-
ence to get good audience for the evening
and the remainder of the session. He in a
very happy yet sarcastic manner alluded to
the difference between the gathering upon
the present occasion and that during an
exhibition Of Circus in town, which he
thought indicated a want of proper interest
in the highest interests of the country.
The choir then sung one OF those sweet
hymns AMI the Association adjourned to
mee; again at half-past 7 o'clock in the
evening
