Fishing With n very.Long Pole.

A certain one oi the democracy
in Findlay, has been giving a com.
pound "sllrick for bleeding kansas,' y
which, after taking u subtcrranean
passage, has found egress thro' the
Washington States. The author en-
bellishes his midnight cry" with the
very choice epithets in reference tc
the Republicans, that he has beer
so prodigal Of, heretofore, when b,
canvased the county in favor of"Bu

manliness nor the magnanimity, to
come out here, and disabuse the pub

erwise." Again he says, "This sec
tion was never designed to originate
power with the Board OF Education
to assess taxes additional to those
named in section 20. It is in II,
character supplemental to that sec
tion, defining how under given ci,.
cumstances, the taxes named in said
section 22d, shall be levied. What.
ever amendments, therefore, 20 to
restrict or limit the power Of taxa
tion conferred by section 90, pass by
necessity to the following section. y
Again, Gas section 23d is, virtually,
part and parcel Of section 22d, no
greater tax than two mills on the
dollar can be levied upon any sub.
district for building purposes, excep,
when the people Of the township
shall by vote order otherwise"
From tho above It appears tha,
the Board of Education have no au
thority to levytwo special taxes upon
the Same sub.district - that said
Board have no authority to levy
more than two mills upon the dollar
upon any township or any portion o.
a township, except when the people
OF the township shall by vote ap
prove OF the levy Of an additional
amount--that the Auditor is not an
'horized to place upon tn, duplicate
any levy exceeding two mills on the
dollar for building purposes, only
when the same is authorized by O
vote as aforesaid, and then it mus

terested in the arrangement and pros
perity ofour Common Schools, to the
law levyins taxes for purchasing
school house sites; for erecting, fur.
nishing and repairing school houses,
for providing fuel, &c.
The design OF sec. 90 Of the sac,
to provide for the reorganization, su'
pervision and maintenance OF Com
mon Schools" passed March 8, 1858
in the language of Mr., Barney, late
superintendent OF Common Schools
'was to prevent the transition from
the sub-district to the township tax
for school purposes, from imposing
an unjust burden npon the inhabi
tants Of particular sub-districts in
which heavy expenses, for the erec
tion OF school houses, had been in
Cured but short time prior to the
enactment Of the present law" Lie
also says, that when the Board o.
Education have once exercised the
authority given them by said section
in leyying a special tax upon sub
district, they have no right to levy
a second special tax on the same
sub.district; and of course any exer
else of such authority the SECOND
time, is without any sanction Of law
Mr.. Smyth, the present Superintend

says: "The recent modification o
section 22d so affects tho 93d section
that under its authority no highsl
