When, in March last, the Radical
leaders in Congress were preparing
their scheme for removing taxes for the
benefit of the New Nngland manufac-
turers, cotton spectators, and other
special interests, the Secretary warned
them of the inevitable result and pro-
tested against their action. In letter
addressed to the Senate Finance Com
mittee he said:
Should the bill referred to become q
law, think il may be fairly estimated
that the total rerenues for the merit fiscal
vedr tciH fall from hundred TO hun
dred and t,reRty millions beloc the
estimates made in my last annual report.
It is exceedingly desirable that
taxes should be reduced, aud l should
hail with pleasure the proposed reduc-
tion if l felt assured that it would be
accomplished with a corresponding re-
duction of expenditures. am free to

public debt and the current expense OF mt
Government.
Notwithstanding Mr.. MCCULLoCH's
protest the bill was passed; the manu-
facturers of New England, cotton spec
ulators, &C., were virtually voted $780,
600, 900 year from the public Treasury
to ensure their adhesion to the Radical
party; the expenditures have not only
been kept up but they have been in'

A Success.
"a Delayed Communication. ]

Having had afforded to US the privilege
Of attending the Iowa county teachers
institute" held at Mineral Point, Oct. 9Th
we would take the liberty of expressing
our views with regard to the success Of
that session. Although we have attended
institutes in this county before, we think
that we can safely say for general manage
| ment, numbers and unanimity Of opera
| ton, this surpassed all. Teachers came
from all parts of the county, and contir-
ued to come until more than sixty names
were enrolled, and before the close of the
session-including some citizens present
the number had increased to eighty.
Not only was the attendance good, but
the members displayed good degree of
Judgment, intelligence and wisdom in the
discussion Of the various questions that
were presented, usually expressing their
thoughts with conciseness and clearness.
They also manifested willingness, to the
best of their ability, to build up, sustain,
and perpetuate the system Of common schools.
Rev. Mr.. Pradt, assistant state superin-
tendent, and Prof. Chas Allen of the state
normal school, Plattevillc, were present,
enlivening the occasion by their cheerful
ness and vivacity, and benefiting all pres
ent by their useful suggestions and profit
able instructions.
Mr.. Parks, county superintendent, who
presided, by his practical knowledge,
business tact, and good management, added
much to the success of the institute, and
he deserves the thanks and good will, not
only of the teachers, but also of the people
of Iowa county, for his indefatigable zeal
and untiring efforts in the advancement Of
popular education in the county.
Quite number of the citizens of Miner
al Point were present during the session,
thereby manifesting an interest in the COM
mon cause for which so many teachers
were convened together.
In behalf of the teachers l would say,
we shall ever remember with gratitude the
extended cordiality of those citizens who
so kindly and generously provided for US
pleasant and agreeable temporary homes
by inviting us around their fireside,
Judgi G then from the unusual success
that attended the last session of the insti-
tute, may we not look forward with bright
and pleasing anticipations to still greater
successes Certainly we may.
With the people fully aroused TO the
great Importance of a proper intellectual
and moral training of their children, and
the necessity of suitable and commodious
buildings in which that training should
be conducted, and with proper care to en-
gage those teachers to conduct that train
ing, who are worthy of the position re,
garding their ability as educators, rather
than the fewness in number of "green-
backs they will teach for, the public
schools of Iowa county "shall flourish
like the palm tree; they shall grow like
cedar in Lebanon" becoming mighty
power for the support and perpetuation of
universal liberty. Ed. U. GATOR.

fall backward on his head, causing dis
location of the spinal column at the base
of the neck and an immediate paralysis of
his body and limbs. Fortunately he was
within hearing distance of friends who
came and cared for him, otherwise he
would have died without any one near him
