is collected ssand the same claim, and
with equal force, will be urged ein favor
of the townships and CITIES. Nor would
itstop long atthe townships, for the same
principle must applyto the sub-districts.
Andif it is wrong to tax the property of
district for the education of any one
outside of the district, we are brought
down, at last, by logical necessity to the
position that the indiriduol can only be
taxed for the education of his own chill
dren. And when that point is reached,
taxation must cease, of course, and we
go back to the old plan of letting the
rich educate their children as they
please, and the poor 60 uneducated.
Such, we are confident, would Be the final
result of the measures proposed. As
Chairman of The Committee on Schools,
&C., I'VE will oppose the bill with what
ever power we may possess, and hope it
may not pass. It viii be up iu a few
days for discussion.
u Another bill; or rather two bills. are
before the House touching the School
system. One is to suspend the Library
tax for two years, and the other is to re-
peal it altogether. On this subject We
would like very much to receive an: :ex-
preston of the views of our citizens.
Any expression, either. by letter, peti-
ton, public meeting, or otherwise, will
be very thankfully received Having
no personal interest in this matter, we
would like to reflect the wishes of the
citizens, and what their wish is we have no
means of knowing. Without such ex-
preston our present inclination is to let
the law remain as it is. But the indi-
cations are that it will be suspended.
Several matters noted for place in
this letter must be omitted, as we find
our sheet full, and find our letters al
ready published are quite too long. But
the factis, hurried as we have been, we
have had no time to make them Shorter.
For, strange as it may sound, it is harder
work to condease than to extend letter.
By the way, the second number of the
Telegraph has just come to hand, and the
printers have made sad work with some
of our letters. We know it is hard to
read our hasty manuscript, and no doubt
the best possible guessing has been done
We have tried to make this plain, and
hope the blunders will not be so glaring

A loeg stling Sof "Harper's Ferry
resolutions, spiced all overwith negro
phoboia, has been also INTRODUCED, and
it is said that every Democratic member
who can talk to kill time, intends to
make at least two speeches upon them.
OF course they do not want the resolu-
tion passed, as that would defeat the OBJ,
ject of their introduction.
Notices of the introduction of other
t.bills-ef similar character have been given,
and the spouting will doubtless soon be-
gin. One of the most intolerable nui-
sances that ever annoyed a deliberative
body, is the.everlasting mania of speech
making. Tits very moderate estimate

at least ninety six out of the hundred

This talking disease is one for which
there is no known remedy. The un-
happy subjects of it don't know, appar-
emily, the intense feeling of disgust
with which their rising to speak fills the
mass of members. No matter what the
question may be, or how anxious the
House may be to vote, the inevitable
speech must be inflicted, Coughing,
smake-believe" sneezing, reading, walk
ing, talking, and even downright rude
ness will not stop the torrent. u the

All parties have agreed not to talk
We may anticipate a speedy election, if
this programme is carried out. The Re-
publicans Will stick to Sherman.
The speech Of Douglas on Monday,
promulgating his desire for the establish
ment of slave code, has placed the ad-
herents of that gentleman in the House,
and elsewhere, in a, very bad predica-
menS. They say a Slave code can only
apply to the Territories, while Douglas
theory for the protection of slave prop
erty in the States .loes not apply to the
Territories, and nerefore it is not slave
code -,., "s.t. 'ea - r..
This is too fine a distinction to admit
of distinguishable difference.
Douglas had hundred thousand
copies of his speech printed in advance
for circulation in the Southern States and
Illinois,
Mr.. Corwin, of Ohio, resumed his elo-
quent speech. You will, of course, OBJ
tain it complete. He was listened to
with unbroken attention by every mem
ber for two daily sessions. 1t was the
speech of the session, if not the greatest
speech of Mr.. Corwin's life. The Re
publicans are in ecstacies over this great
speech. The only fault, if it is a, fault
is that he is too generous toward his enc
mics. Toward the close of Mr. Corwin'
remarks, nearly every Senator, and Vice
President Breckinridge, came into the
House, while outsiders pushedinto every
available corner. The drop which he
gave Mr. H. F. Clark was terrible let
ting down of that proud no-party gentle
man. The applause which followed it was
uproarious.
Keitt, of South Carolina, pitched into
the speech cf Mr.. Corwin most vehe-
mently, He plucked the feathers from
the American eagle, and tore the Union
in tatters.

w WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
The debate in the House yesterday
was one Of the most exciting o. the ses-
sion. Mr. Sherman rose to personal
explanation, when the whole House, Re
publicans and Democrats, gathered about
him. In clear and distinct tones he an
nounced that if Clark $, of Missouri, Of
fensive resolution was withdrawn if only
for moment, he would express his opin-
ion fully upon the Helper book, but
would not do so while a menace Was held
over him. 1t was not in his blood and
could not be put there. This remark
elected loud applause. Clark of course
declined to withdraw his resolution.
The last thing the Democrats desire,
is Sherman's opinion. They know that
it would explode all their theories, and
defeat all their calculations 1 think,
however, that the matter is pretty we'll
understood by the House, and the bug
bear has lost its intimidating poweE.
The intelligence ofClark B. Cochrane' S
Illness has aroused a painful sensation
here, where he was much respected and
valued. Private letters do not confirm
the published accounts of his insanity
but represent him as having voluntarily
sought the advice of the distinguished
physician of the Utica Asylum, for re-
lief from the cerebral excitement, which
his friends apprehendcd afforded threat
ening indications.
Forty one Southern Democrats signed
