Appropriations for State Reads

Appropriations for State Reads.
\ writer in the WcllSburg icral9 ex.
claims against what he deems the lavish
expenditure Of the State funds BY the
present Legislature, in proposed aFpro'
pria,ioas for building State Roads and
Bridges 1t appears thatth body have
already directed "iuQuiry into the expo
dicncy" Of expanding over S250,OOO in
building these very essential internal
improvements.
We are somewhat surprised that any
enlightened citizen Of West Virginia
should raise objection to This, especially
when our State Treasury is overlooking
aud the State out Of debt, except he he
opposed to the settlement, improvement
and development Of the vast wealth and
resources lying cmbowc.eI in the hills
and valleys Of West Virginia. Roads
and Bridges arc Que Of the chief c.scn
tails of u country-land, o: even mineral
wealth, is of little value, so long as it is
iuaccessiblc-and the fostering Of al H.
,ernal improvements has proved to be
the wiscst policy, not only State, bu,
| National.
1t may be urged By our wealthy neigh.
bors of the northern border counties,
that such county should make its own
roads-that i, is unjust to impose taxes
upon. them for the purpose of building
roads and bridges away out in the south.
ern part oftho State. Yet even if this
objection were Invested Of its scl6shness,
and it were possible for the citizens Of
our Interior counties to make such i'm
provemerts, their representatives would
be short.sishtcd in giving it weight; for
| by the development Of our interior eoun'
ties, which can only be effected by the
aid Of these internal improvements, they
will tho sooner Lc enabled to furnish
their equal portion of the State taxes,
aud thus soon repay, with interest, the
r:oncy loaned them now by way Of con.
s,ruc,ing roads and bridges through
their midst. Then. we believe, it is ap.
parent that the Legislature cannot invest
the surplus funds in and accruing to the
State Treasury more wisely ,han BY
making appropriations for these internal
Improvements.

Several matter. of Importance will be
noticed next week: =. IT,.
School Houses.

The great misfortune OF Manu-" 80
County, and; indeed, many other eoun ,
ties ofthc State, is the scarcity o. 1'"00'
Houses. We understand that our oouu
ty was we'll supplied before the war; 0a'
the war has destroyed all OF the" IN "a
many Townships, so that We ore ,s''
without suitable places for schools on'
fortunately, the School law did not MAKE
efficient. provision for erecting houses
and the people did not, as might have
occu done, 20 to work themselves either
by subscriptions or by days work. and
build ,hsi, op,. houses, so that no" there
arc blu. feu-not more than 10 public
schools in operation in Kanawha County
By neglect on tho part of the School
Commissioners, or possibly from not
knowing the importance Of their duties
many of the Townships failed to make
the required enumeration OF youth f0'
1861, and so failed 10 receive their pro-
portion Of the School taxes collected 'o'
that ycnr Charleston und four other
Townships Of Kuuawha County were Of
this class But We believe they were al
reported last year, and hence they VII!
all receive their pro rata Of the School
money for 1863, which will be due from
the Auditor in April. Now we're the
various districts furnished with School
houses, Free Schools might be put Into
oreration in each Of them at once. We
suppose the Legislature will make add''
tioual provision for the erection oil
School buildings at the present session
and hone our School Commissioners will
be prepared to take the earliest advan
,ayc Of the means it may furnish, or any
other for the erection Of houses, so that
SCHOOLS may be put 10 operation as soon
as the houses can be put up. The law
requires schools to be kept six months
in each year, if possible; and as the
School year ends in September, there is
no time TO he lost. We will give any
provisions tia: may be made hy The Leg
islature as soon as We can get them In
the meantime, we think it might be well
for the Commissioners to provide plans
&C., for building their School houses
They should be generally on a cheap
scale, but neat, commodious and comfort
oLs. Let Us not disgrace the Free
Schools with barus or pig pens for school
houses.

AN APOLOGY FOR Tx REBELS who do
not " behave themselves" appears in u
recent number Of the Wheeling Rry's'er,
in which that sheet says." thoy would be
either srcatcr or less than men" if being
stripped Of civil and political rights"
and made "the lawful prey Of every
demagnguo aud. editor throughout the
land" they should behave themselves
and further, "if you would have them
behave themselves you must treat
them like men, =; $ i; give them
the rights to which they are entitled by
the laws OF war, =: = and the Con.
stitu,ion Of the United States, meaning
by "rights' the privilege Of suffrage, Nc
We were not aware that the laws Of wal
conferred the right 20 govern upon the
conquered and they are indebted to the
intervention Of the l:a:doniny Po'ccr,
between themselves and the Constitution
Of the United States, for their lives
Had they shown works meet for repent
ance, which ought, certainly, to be
prerequisite 10 pardon in every case, the
loyal people would bave gladly rs gen
erousIy restored to them their forfeited
privileges. But the trouble is their les
son-LoYALTY-is not yet learned, and
how can they expect TO 50 to the head oil
tho class? The mistake seems to bt
that their friends, and some Of them
selves, seem to think that the country
cantget along withow them, and hence
they must be ",conciliatedF" Let us
assure them this is mlstake-aud
though the loyal people are willing thai
they should have fair chance TO come
back and re,estaLHsh thoir loyalty and
citizenship, they do not feel like cOa1i"s
them to accept their :" rights.
