The REAL GAME OF CALHoUy.-The Kick
apoo correspondent of the Press, Philadelphia,
in his letter of Feb. 9. 1858, says:
s.Thc programme of the Lecomptonites has
unwittingly leaked out. 1t is this: Calhoun
las left man here TO issue certificates tofhe
officers elect, who are pro-slayery according
to his count, whenever the Constitution pas
ses through Congress, which fact he is to tele-
graph to his said agent at the earliest oppor-
tunity. As soon as the members of the Legis-
lature receive their certificates, they are to
meet at Fort Leavenworth, elect Calhoun and
Isaacs United States Senators, and adjourn
sine die. What the State officers are TO do we
are not informed. The game is very despe-
rate one, and it is very certain that Calhoun
has staked his ssbottom dollar" on the result.
If the Constitution passes Congress, l know
of no two men who would be better entitled to
its advantages, or better representatives OF the
Lecompton party, than the two above named.
1t is not expected that either of them will ever
enter the Territory, again as citizens, and
they would very fitly carry out in fraud, the
game thus fraudulently begun"

LKyy,sG BUILDING TAx.-The following let
ters, in relation to decision made recently in
cur County court, in which Judge Burnside
held that School Directors had no authority
under the law to levy special tax for build
ing purposes, will be read with interest:
BELLEFoNrE, u. Feb. 1858.
Ckas. Cadwalader, Esq Dear Sir: had
repeatedly instructed Boards of School Direc-
tors to collect building tax in addition to
the school tax, and regarded that as the law,
while Superintendent of Common Schools.
understand the present Superintendent pla-
ces the same construction on the law, and
hsys enclosed him your letter. never doubt
ed that such was the reasonable construction
of the school law, and do not sthink you
should acGuesce in the decision of the Court.
Yours, A. G. CURTIN.
DEPARTMENT oP COMMON SCHOOLS,
Harrisburg, Feb. 10, 1858.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of the End inst. to
Col. Curtin, has been forwarded by him to this
Department. Judge Burnside's decision a.
sainst the right of townships to levy building
tax for school houses is manifestly erroneous,
and not sustained by the letter, objects and
spirit of the school law. If he refuses to re-
verso his decision, the only remedy viii be an
appeal to the Supreme Court; and in the
meantime the Directors viii, of course, be
obliged to obey the Injunction.
Respectfully, yours,
II. C. HIokoK, Supt. Com. Sch.
