J. Nj. French'S Circus and Egypt
ian Caravan.

We are to have Circus and Caravan.
French's Circus and Caravan, one of the
finest Exhibitions in the world, is TO visit
Hyde Park, giving two exhibitions, one
in the afternoon, and one in the evening,
on Wednesday, July 9th. This exhibit
tion includes a number of remarkable an
imals, Lions, Camcls; Elephants, &C., of
which fuller description is given in the
advertisement. tits something well worth
seeing, and we have no doubt the tent
will be well filed, both afternoon and
evening. A magnificent street display
will be-given in the morning at 10 O'Clock.
We clip the following from the Springfield
Republican, of May 10th:
FRENcH's ORIENTAL CARAVAN
Comprises very much that is found in no
other circus establishment in the States,
1t presents such a variety of attractions
as to amuse all classes-and to instruct
while it amuses. The student of natu.
raj history becomes absorbed in coptem-
plating the European and Asiatic repre-
sentatives of the Animal Kingdom. The
gigantic elephant Empress, (" and in
comparison, the Lillputian elenhant Sui
TAM" the collection of fierce Kaffra lions,
whose den Herr Schoff fearlessIy enters
and makes one of the most exciting and
daring exhibitions of the power Of the
human mind over the brute creation that
VIC ever witnessed; then follow the drove
of sixteen Camels, driven by genuine Be-
douin Arabs--children Of Ishmael, whose
peculiarities of race are marked and well
worth the study of every one. There are
various other features Of the animal show
of French's oriental exhibition that a linz
tied space will not permit us to mention,
but which cannot fail TO claim the atten-
ton Of every visitor within the capacious
and well arranged canvass of this superb
establishment. But the circus perform
ances proper are also not TO be forgotten
for they embrace some rare fcats in equs.
trianism, in acrobats, eaping, somersault-
ing balancing and feats Of strength, while
here again, the Bedouins enrich tho pro-
gramme with an oriental originality that
seems to awaken the interest of even the
most blase habitue Of circus exhibitions
Thtir displays of strength arc wonderful
and always extort the plaudits of the most
cultivated audiences, while the contrast
between these sons of the desert and the
more accomplished American or European
gymnast is so distinct as to excite comment
and elicit decided attention. We confess
that We seldom expect to be much enter
tanned at any circus, but Frchch's claimed
our close attention from the beginning to

The Railroad.

Our ride last week with President Brig
ham over the proposed Z. R. route was
thoroughly enjoyed, and we wish that our
space permitted full account of the
trip.
The grading between this village and
Morrisvillc progresses, but during the hay
ing season, which is at its hight just now,
comparatively but few men are working.
As soon as the hay-season is over the con-
tractors intend to put 100 or more men
to work in the county. The farmers in
Daaville have induced many Of the men to
leave the road and work for them at a
higher rate of wages, so the work is not
progressing there as fast as it has been;
yet vast amount of work has been DONE
Nearly mile in continuous line has
been graded this side of West Danville,
and about two miles near st. Johnsbury,
besides quite number of short distances
all along down the nights in Walden. In
the heavy-work, J." so called, above East
Hardwick, track is laid and two construc-
tion cars are used for hauling earth and
stone.
The route over the nights in Walden is
much more feasible than we had supposed.
The steepest grade is only 90 feet to the
mile, and this result is attained at COM
paratively little expense.
1t was quite surprising to sec how many
buildings had been erected all along the
whole route, without doubt Influenced by
the prospect of the road
A lot of laborers have commenced work
in johnson, and are erecting " shanties"
there.
A meeting of the Directors, at which
the full board is expected, has been called
to be held at Morrisville next Tuesday to
decide whether the 'Plain" or "Ville"
route shall be adopted, and to transact
other important business.
We hope the people in the Valley will
pay no heed to the extravagant rumors
that from time to time get into circulation
that are intended to make them lose con-
fidencc in the enterprise, for the work is
being pushed as fast as practicable for the
good of the road and the stockholders who
are paying for it; and do not get impa-
tient, for work Of its magnitude cannot
be done in day, and must necessarily
move SLOW, Let all work heartily and with
harmony, and aoait.
The bonds issued by the towns as an
investment, are worthy of consideration
by ell capitalists. They bear higher
rate Of interest than Government bonds,
and now that the price of gold is nearing
par, are considered better paying in
vestment. They can be obtained of the
national bank here, or any of the Direct.
ors of the road will procure them on APP
plication.

Mn. EDITOR 1t appears that the Su.
premc Court Of Michigan has decided on
the constitutional right of the Legislature
to enable towns TO bond themselves towards
the building of Railroad. Some of the
points made in this decision | will trans
cribe for the NEwsDEALER.
There arc three requisites to valid tax
alton:
lst. 1t must be imposed for public,
and not for a mere private purpose. Tax
alton is mode of raising revenue for
public purposes only. When taxation is
in no way, directly, connected with the
public welfare, it becomes plumber.
End. The tax must be laid according
to some rule, or apportionment con-
templating exact justice in the distribution
Of the tax. .,..tff m4
3rd. A tax laid on town must be
public and local. Therefore, the thing to
be done, being theirs alone, they are to
be at all the expense of it. These are fun
dameI tai maxims. Now, in town-bonding,
these maxims are violated. The tax is
primarily for the benefit of private cor
poration, and the public benefit is only in.
cidental and secondary. like that arising
from the building Of a grist-mill, or from
any private enterprise that tends to ac-
commodate local wants, and in this way
enhance local value. A Railroad cor
poration is not public, but private in char
acter, as truly as any business enterprise
can be. Even Right of Way 10 paid for,
not by incidental benefit, but a ouid pro
quo. And although, by a legal fiction,
giving such corporations the Right of Way
seems to invest them with a public char
acter; in legal reality there is no sense
in which . Railroad corporation is pub
lie agency. An enterprise in the hands
of private company, managed by
its own officers, and operated for its own
profit, however beneficial it may be to the
general public, by afording facilities for
travel, and business, cannot be a public
agency, IN any such sense as to Justify the
exercise of the sovereign power of taxa
ton, in any way, on its behalf. Since
the State cannot tax the whole people, or
part of them, in behalf of private cor
poration, it cannot. for the same reason,
enable town to do SO. A private citi-
zen may donate his own property to a
private corporation, but he has no right,
by his vote, TO compel his fellow citizen,
IN like manner, to donate his property,
and any legislation, to that effect, on the
part of the State, is null and void Y.

proficient feats in the several departments

of the conventional circus programme will

delight in attending Freuch's caravan.
And we cannot close this notice without

roar of laughter that put everybody in

Mn. ED:-The extravagant language
which has of late characterized the coSi-
mon-school advocates, official and unoffi-
fetal, eliminated in a Resolution passed
at the close of the Institute, lately held
in johnson. The Resolution is" Re-
solved, That . as matter of Politi-
cal Economy these Institutes could not be
discontinued if they cost ten times as
much as they do" This sounds big, but
it may be feasible. Let us see; .a

will be out of pocket land no equivalent
except the improvement of the tcacher)
$11.25. This raised ten times becomes

State Treasury what is appropriated for
Institutes (not including his salary, his
expenses while attending Institutes, and
his mileage, mo meagre sums) the item
will be $2450. Raise this item las con-
templated in our committees emergency
ten times, and you have S24500.
3rd. The time now given to teachers, to
these Institutes, is 5-66th of their school
term. Rather than discontinue the Insti-
tutes says our committee, let this time
be ten times as long. In this event, the
teachers are to enjoy instruction at the
expense of the State, and the Districts,
about S-11th of their common school term,
and the children, whom they engaged to
teach, 3-llth.
If this shows political economy, it might
be well for some one of the committee to
show what would be political prodgali-

RICHMOND. Nov. 5.-To the surprise o
many, there hes been proloDgation OF The
session of the Legislature. The session vii
last for week longer.
Upon the assembling of both Houses o'day
| and the appointment OF committee to Walt
| upon the Governor and inform him OF the
readiness of the bodies to adjouro,it was learn
! ed Tor the first time that constitutional objec
| tions mas been made to three Of the important
measures acted upon, viz: the Jury, Road and
Fence bills, and as the Constitution requires
that "the General Assembly, at its first session
after the adoption OF demonstrations shall pass
such laws us may to necessary to give effect 10
the provisions in reference o''road districts, 1t
was considered that the road bill and jury bill,
at least must be perfected, and consequently the
resolution fixing to-day Tor adjournment was
resiuded and the session will necessarily be con
tiDued nearly II not all OF next week.
No new business sill DC taken up and the
Legislature will merely await the action of the
| Governor. An effort will be made to pass the
| road bill over the veto, but it is doubtful IT
that can be done. Should the House on Mon
day pass the bill providing for pay of Jurors,
i, is understood that the difficulty in the Gov
ercor' $ veg of signing the general jury bill sill
| be obviated, and that bill become law. Upon
the Ieuce bill there is such diversity or opln
| ion thar no definite conclusion can be arrived
ct. II is understood that the Governor objects
| TO the provisions of the road bill, which may
be construed into the imposition of a capita
,iou tas; allowing Supervisors to order the
election of overseers OF other times than at The
peperal election. and exemptiog Loudoun
county from the provisions of the bill.
An attempt will be made on Monday to bar
