TAxEs.-From every quarter OF our City we
hear the continual cry of high taxes, and in
creased taxation. We do not talk to single
individual upon the subject but what is dis
satisfied with our City government and, in
nearly every instance willing to lay aside his
party notions, and give his vote for the man
who will not squander the public funds.
The question is. being asked continually what
becomes of all the money raised by taxation.
The Council does not pave our streets; they
do not pave our side walks. Then, for what
purpose ~ 80 much money required 1t is a
question that can be very easily asked, but
not 30 easily answered. The money is gone
but none know where. We think that once
every two weeks for the Council to meet is a
little too often. Why cannot that august
body meet once year, as they do in Wash
ington. Let them hold a session as our Leg
time that this Long Parliament should be de-
solved. II they meet once every two weeks
they will always find business to 80, and that
business always costs the City money. 1t is
avery easy thing for fifteen men-when they
put their heads together to do soto spend
all the money that is raised by taxation-even
il there were ten times as much as is now
raised. No party considerations should in
duce the voters OF this City to continue men
in Office so recreant to the true interests OF
the City as the present Council is They care
no more about injuring your property by
altering the grades of the streets, than they
do about levying the taxes. The grades of
our City have been established-the land
owners have built their houses according to
the regulations given them by the proper OIL
GERS appointed by the City, for that purpose
To alter these grades will be to seriously in
lure such property-probably some member
OF the Council or his friend has an axe to
grind. Let the Council alter the grades-let
them spend the public funds to buy engine
houses--let them pay more for the property
than the owners ask any body else--let them
rob the public funds to fill the pockets of some
OF their individual and political friends-for
their time is short--they must travel the
same road their extravagant loan went. Let
the voters of this City band together as
band of brothers, and lay aside their party
predictions and, with one object in view,
send these fellows adrift

Democracy vs.. DELAWARE INoulRER.-From
time to time we hear of some generous Demo-
erat-or perhaps Democrat for the sake OF
the loaves and fishes, which a great many of
them are-moving Heaven and Earth to in
duce some good Democrat not to take the IN
oulRRR, because the Editor cannot be made a
tool of by the designing demogogues who
have run the real Democracy into the ground
OF late. We have nothing to say about a
man who does not take our paper because he
does not want it. He does precisely right

While many of our number have had no OPP
portunity for personal investigation into the
alleged phenomena of spiritualism, we can
yet agree in admitting the increasing impor-
lance of the investigation. 1t is useless to
oppose, by ridcule or bigotry, belief which
has taken 80 strong hold upon many Of the
most intelligent and virtuous portion of the
community. Lamenting the delusions and
errors which often accompany it, as they are
apt to accompany new ideas, we cannot but
be grateful for the power it is exerting to
break up sectarianism, enighten individual
minds, and elevate the lives of many. To re-
move the terrors which superstition has
thrown around death and immortality is
task worthy of the joint efforts of men and
angels.

The Kaws were endeavoring to form an al
lance with the Camanches for the purpose OF
Furnishing the people at Council Grove, in re-
venge for having hanged two IndiaEs of the

DEATH or A CoEvIcT.-Captain Bayless, OF
Delaware, who was convicted in Petersburg,
Va, of slave stealing and sentenced to forty
years imprisonment in the penitentiary, died
at that institution a few days since, having,
at that time, thirty-nine years to serve. His
capture, it will be remembered, created much
excitement, and he narrowly escaped lynching
when he was landed from the boat which car

EDUCATION.

This subject has employed the pens, talents
and influence of many of our wisest men and
women; still, the subject il not exhausted,
and we find many things that are objection
able in the popular systems of education.
We deem it of the first Importance that boys
and girls should be educated together, and
that the same studies should be pursued by
both. The studies that fit the son for the nc
tual duties of life are equally necessary for
the daughter. Education, in every depart
ment, should be thorough and practical, that
the pupil may be prepared thereby for useful
ness in the common relations Of life. There
is much in our popular institutions Of learn
ing that should be reformed. We deplore,
especially, the spirit of sectariansm that pre-
walls in too many of them, and we think it
desirable that an institution oflearning should
be established, to which we may send our
sons and daughters, in full confidence that
they will not be contaminated by this spirit,
and where they may be trained for the highest
usefulness, and prepared to fill with honor
positions in advance OF those who have gone
before.

TEMPERANCE.

Desiring to be earnest and faithful in our
efforts to improve the condition ofthe people,
and increase the happiness of the community,
we reiterate our oft-repeated testimony in ia
vor of total abstinence FROM the use OF all in
toxicating liquors as beverage. "Touch
not, taste not, handle no" this fre-king,
which has power to destroy all the noble at
tributes of humanity. We shall not offer an
elaborate argument to prove the pernicious
effects OF intoxicating drinks upon society.
"Intemperance comes with noiseess step,
and binds its first cords with touch too
light to be felt. This truth of mournful ex-
perience should be treasured up by us all,
and should influence the habits and arrange
ments of domestic and social life in every class
of the community" In illustration of the eff
fects of Intoxicating drinks upon the human
system, we point to the bloated countenance
and trembling form of the poor inebriate. For
its demoralizing effects upon society, we point
to the records of the criminal courts, the his
tory Of large portion of the inmates of our
poor-houses, and the desolatc home, and the
disconsolate wife, and neglected children of
the drunkard. We pledge ourselves anew to
labor for the removal Of this terrible vice,
with faith that, as truth is stronger than err
ror, virtue than vice, our efforts will not be
unavailing.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION.

If we concede that ''Life is real-lifc is ear.
nest" then experience and progress demand
that the training of mind and body should
emancipate the race from disease. For lif,
can neither be real nor earnest while pervert
ed and weakened by disease.
We believe that all systems of education
are wrong which persist in developing tn,
mind at the expense of the body, and we urge
the study of Physiology in schools, and it'
practical application in families. We do this
hoping that Physical Education and the science
of Health may be taken from the mere pro
fessional teacher and elevated to the dignity
OF fe-culture, as branch. of natural religion
that the sacredness attached to Life in genera
may hollow and consecrate its minor as wei
as its major offices. To this end we recon-
mend that fathers and mothers be educated
and qualified to instruct their sons and daugh
tiers in the laws of general Health, especially
as regards the relation of the sexes.
We recommend that gymnastic and athletic
exercises be systematically used to disciplin,
the body, as well as outdoor labor, and thai
school systems should be so arranged thai
time and means will be given for this purpose
We recommend also that great care should BIZ
taken to prevent an over-working OF thu
bodies of children, where II is necessary tina
they should perform actual labor; that il
selecting trades, regard should be had to thei
physical adaptations and that cleanliness
and healthful diet should be made matter
of conscience and not left to chance or conve
nencc. We recognize also the Importance o
cheerfulness, mirthfulness, and music, as pro
moters of health of body and mind, and aid
to general culture.
