The citizens are rapidly improving this neigh
borhood and we are looking forward to the time
when we shall vie with the arisocratic west end
of the county. Mr.. J. Mitchell, has erected n
fine dwelling on his farm so also has Mr., Mat
thcws. Mr. Trump has put up dwelling and Il
barn, that would not be ashamed to stand be-
side a Pennsy lvania double Decker.
A company of wealthy Germans have pur-
chased q large body Of land in this neighbor-
hood, and contemplate extensive improvements
the coming season. The tide of improvement
seems at last to be turning in this direction.
But there is one thing to which ] would call
your attention, and that is the School Houses !
regret to say that there is nota respectable School
House in our district and the schools are SO to-
tally neglected by Directors and every body else,
that they might almost as well be discontinued.

Southern Taxes.

President JOHNSON has ordered the
~postponemcnt of the sale of Southern
landed property for the payment of taxes
which have accrued during the war, and
it is probable that these taxes may be
RENTED entirely. The Presidents ac-
ton in the case is worthy of all conf
incubation. The Southern people are
destitute of money, and not one in a hun
dred of the owners of plantations is able
to pay the taxes which are assessed upon
his property, They will doubtless be
able to do so in time. but to press them
for payment now, and sell their property
to the land sharks who may go down
from the North, and turn the proprietors
out OF doors, houseless, landless and PEN
niless, is a measure of cruelty and rob-
berry of which ANDREW JOHNSON is not
capable.
The p%ostponement of the collection of
these these taxes will give much relief
to the Southern people and afford graft
fcation to all Northern men who are not
entirely devoid of humanity and CON-
passion.

Bullets and Ballots.

The main argument resorted to by the
advocates Of negro suffrage is that the
negroes are entitled to vote because they
have served in the army. In nearly all
the high sounding resolutions in fay i154 Hf
to rhyme with each other. If a negro
has fired abullet during the progress of
the war, he must be entitled to throw
ballots during all time.
Do the men who so Slibly make Use of
this argument know that there are moro
white men who have served in the army
that are not entitled to vote, than all the
negro soldiers who have yet donned the
Federal blue? Service in the army does
not confer citizenship upon the tens of
thousands of brave boys between The
ages of eighteen and twenty-one years
who have fought all through the war,
why then should the ballot succeed the
bullet in the negroes hands! Are we
under any more obligations to the negro
soldiers who failed i'll nearly every fight
and who are scarcely fit for dress parade.
than we are to the whiteyoung men who
signalized their bravery i'll every engage
ment? If the friends of negro suffrage
can find no better argument TO support
their cause than that the blacks must
have the ballot because they have car
ried a bayonet or fired a bullet they
would better drop the subject at once.

Tho Proposed Hanging Of the Cenfed

The Proposed Hanging Of b Cenfed'
erate Prisoaers-Anr English Prece-
dent. 81
To those who are in favor of hanging
such of the Confederate prisoners as are
now in our hands, at the end of the war
in which they have been acknowledged
belliperents, we commend the following
from Edmund Burke, the great states
uan ofEngland at the time o fthe Amer
lean revolution. 1t was proposed IN
England in l777 to bring the Americans
whom they had taken in the war to
England, and there try themfortreason.
Upon this the great orator, Burke, said
.sWar is at present carried on between
the Kings natural and foreign troops ION
one side and the English in America lon
the other, upon the usual footing Oh otn-
or wars; and, accordingly, an exchange
of prisoners has been regularly mace,
from the beginning. If, notwithstand-
ing this hitherto equal procedure upon
some prospect of ending the war with
success, the Administration prepares TO
act against those as traitors who remain
in their hands at the end of the troubles
in nv opinion we shall exhibit to the
world as indecent a piece OF injustice as
ever civil fury has produced. Il the
prisoners who have been exchanged have
not by that exchange been virtually
hardened, the cartel whether avowed or
nnderstood) is a cruel fraud, for you
have received the life of a man and you
oupht to return a life for it, or there is no
nnrity or fairness in the transaction.
"If' on the other hand, we admit that
thew who are actually exchanged are
pardoned, but contend that you may
| Justly reserve for vengeance those VINO
remain unexchanged, then this unpieas,
| ant and undandsome consequence VIII
| follow that you judge of the delinquep-
| CIV of men merely by the time OF their
guilt, and not by the Nervousness OF NJ
| and you make fortune and accidents, n
| not the moral qualities of human action,
| the rule of your justice
"These strange incongruities must ever
perplex those who confound the unhap-
| oiness of civil dissension with the crime
of treason. Whenever a rebellion really
| and truly exists, which is as easily known
in fact as it is difficult to define in words,
| the Government has not entered into
such military conventions but has ever
declined all intermediate treaty, which
should put rebels in possession Of the law
of nations with regard to war, Com
manders would receive no benefits at
their hands, because they could make no
return for them. Who has ever heard OF
capitulation and parole of honor, and eX-
change of prisoners, in the late rebellion
in this kingdom? The answer to all de,
mands of that sort was: We can engage
for nothing you are at the Kings pleas
ure.' We ought to remember thai II o9i
present enemies be, in reality and run
rebels, the Kings Generals have no right
to release them upon any conditions
whatsoever and they are themselves an.
swerable to the law, and as much in want
of a pardon for doing so as the rebels
whom they release"

The Government of Virginia.

Governor PIERPoINT is proceeding IN
the work of recognizing Virginia, ana
administering the difficult duties OF his
office with more wisdom than many OF
the people of West Virginia have ever
given him credit for. He finds himself
much hampered by some of the acts OF
the Legislature of the restored govern
ment while it was not much more tnah
"tbe common council of Alexandria as
il WIS termed by the Tribune. Among
these acts was me-. foolish enough but
mot unite so foolish as some passed by
our Legislature last winter, prescribing
q test oath to be taken by voters. The
law requires the voter to swear that ne
has not done anything to support the re-
bellion since 1864. Nearly all of the cit
liens of many of the counties are dis
f~ranchised by these terms, and the diff
Guilty of restoring civil government to
these counties is thereby greatly III
creased. Many honorable and truthful
men. the very best class of citizens, upon
whom implicit reliance could be placed
will refnse TO take the oath. and those
who do take it will be of a vastly inferior
Class. who, for the sake of office, do not
scruple to commit perjury. Governor
PlERporNr is deeply sensible of the diff
culties arising from this condition OF al
fairs. and would be glad, if he had the
power, to rescind the unwise action OF
the Legislature.
We believe that in Virginia, as we'll as
throughout the entire South, the spirit
of secession is extinct There is no long
er any desire or disposition on the part
the people to rebel against the authority
of the United States. In every southern
State there is a willingness manifested
f. take the oath of allegiance and sup
port. protect and defend the constitution
of the United States, which we believe
70 be perfectly sincere and worthy OF
confidence. Why then should these peo-
ple be excluded from the rights of citizen
ship? Their future loyalty may be as
firmly relied upon as though they had
never rebelled. 1t is a very great mis-
take ana a very short-sighted policy
which drives away from the polls a large
number of honest, intelligent and relia-
BILE men and confines the right of suffrage
exclusively to a few unprincipled dema'
gogues, who seek only personal aggran,
dizement and power, without caring how
it is obtained and having no respect FOL
the wishes of the majority.

DEsERTRRs ARRESTED. Provost
Marshal Wheeler, of St. Cloud, brought down
four stalwart deserters recently, whom he
arrested in Todd county. They are known as
1.-The Gorton Boys" and are hard cases. They
took to the bush in May last, at the time of
the draft, and formed camp, thre atening to
resist and kill any Provost Marshal who should
try to apprehend them, as two or three of them
were drafted. They were well armed, and it
would have been useless for one or two men
to have attempted to arrest them as they
would certainly have been killed. Mr.. Wheeler
took cavalry squad of six men, however, and
surprised two of them near their camp. They
ran, when the soldiers fired on them, wound
ing one in the hand. After quite q skirnish,
and the firing of Is or 20 shots, the deserters
surrendered.
They were taken before Capt. Keith yester'
pay, and were by him ordered to be confined
in the rendezvous. They will be tried by court
martial as deserters
