passing through the lands Of Mrs. Shell
TOMS children, and those Of q. Jones, ST.,
and thence TO the town Of Covington,

fully memorabilia the honorable Board
OF County Commissioners to levy g tax
of three hundred and fifty Thousand dol
lars upon the county of Shelby, to aid

feel free to make this request, in view OF
the fact that the northern part Of Shelby
has been taxed FOR all public
works since It wss Shelby county, with

OF justice we ask that The county shall
be taxed for the benefit OF tie northern
portion, which has always been made

THE ARREST OFEXTRAVAGANCE.

The declaration of General Grant in
favor of retrenchment, economy, a
reduction of expenditures and debt
and against any more subsidies, says
the North Americrn, has been received
everywhere with SO much pleasure, and
been SO generally endorsed as to show
that the public sentiment is over
whelmingly against mourning any new
liabilities on these accounts, no matter
how plausible may be the statements
made to excuse them. Some demon
onstration of this kind was needed to
arouse public attention to the impor-
lance of the subject, as the enormous
programme arranged at the last meeting
of the National Board of Trade was
we'll calculated to create the greatest
anxiety with regard to the financial
future.
Congress is beset both within and
without by influences all working for
the success of these schemes. Before
one Pacific railroad has been completed
or tasted, we are asked to build several
more, and to launch out into sea of
extravrgant, subsidies to railroads and
canals, sufficient to appal even the most
sanguine friend Of internal improve
ments. These schemes all have sectional
interests in their favor The Niagara
ship canal, involving an outlay of TWEEN,
ty millions, has already mustered q
majority of the House in its favor, and
had its bill made as order of the day.
The Pacific railroads have some fiscal
facts in their favor. They would save
the Government much in the transpor-
tation of mails and troops. But this
ship canal project has absolutely moth
ing in its favor. 1t could not repay the
Government in any way.
We are glad to find our leading
contemporaries of both parties declaring
vehemently against the policy of
national extravaganza. This feeling
oannotbe too much or too often express
ed, for there is reason to believe that
the influences in favor of the passage of
some of these measures are rather
threatening. The prizes are great, and
the inducements will be arranged
q ccordingly. The people should lose
o opportunity of letting the members
Of Congress know that they will hold to
II strict account all who undertake ut
such time as the present to increase
the fiscal difficulties of the republic.
