levied, will ultimately be paid; for it is fair
to conclude that NO delinquent will allow
his land to pass the "day Of redemption"
because he cannot pay his whole tax in
county orders. But if he is permitted to
pay in orders, where does the money come
from to pay the sfhoolnaster? Why, the
Auditor will give him an order on the treas
ury. No money there, and he must sell his
order for what it will bring, and the dis
tr'ct must, by special tax or contribution,
make up the amount the order is below par.
In this mode of doing business, the coun-
~ is the gamer, and it may seem that it is a
great stroke Of financial policy-but IN my
opinion, Of doubtful integrity, to take from
my purse what the law has provided ia
meet the same object.
In our relations to our indebtedness IA
the State, the problem assumes a differen,
|solution-for no payment Of State tax with
county orders will cancel our indebtedness
though individuals may be released, the
county still is ckargeable, and must nav

obligations to the State, which should have

The Statute requires that certain proper

shall be paid in cash-and that proportion

Some disclosures have just been commu
nicated to leading tepublcans in this city,
which occurred in the secret caucus Of the
leading Black Republicans convened last
week at the Astor House, in advance of the
meeting of the Republican Committee
Some forty or fifty leading chiefs were sum-
moned privately, including Governor Banks.
Gov. Morgan, Messrs. Fessenden, lincoln,
Cameron, Dayton, and Gov. Chase. to delib.
crate on the programme of 1860. There
was much discussion of the present aspect Of
affairs, and great harmony Of opinion that
the times called for more liberalities and con-
servatism; that the '.irrepressible conflict
must be ignored for the present, and all the
elements of opposition gathered on some
such names rs Bates, Of Missouri, for Presi-
dent, and Morgan, or Banks for Vice Presi.

to Stewards election was thoroughly canvass
