tor the sake of selfprescrvation ex.
empt from taxation by tho States,
why are not those of The States, de-
pending upon their reserved powers
tor like reasons, equally exempt from
Federal taxationy Their unimpaired
existence in the one case is essential
in the other.
IL is admitted that there is no ex.
press provision in the Constitution
that prohibits the general govern.
ment from taxing the means and in
strumentalities ofthat government. OF
what avail are these means if another
power may tax them at discretion
But We arc referred to the VeazIc
Bank VS.. Fenno, s Wall, page 533, In
support Of this power of taxation.
That case furnishes a strong ilustra.
ton of the position taken by the
Chief Justice In McCulloch VS.. Mary.
land, namely, that the power to tax
involves the power to destroy. The
power involved was one which had
been exercised by the States, since
the foundation ofthe government, and
had been, after the lapse of three.
quarters of n century, annihilated
from excessive taxation by the gene
raj government, just as the judicial
Office in the present case might be if
subject at all to taxation by that gov
ernment. But Notwithstanding the
sanction of this taxation by maiori-
ty of the court, it is conceded in the
opinion that the reserved rights of
tue States, such as the right TO pass
laws to give effect through executive
action, to administer justice through
the courts. and to employ all necessa-
ry agencies for legitimate purposes of
State government are not proper sub
iects of the taxing power Of Congress.
The concession covers the case before
us, and adds the authority of the
court in support Of the doctrine which
we have cndeayored to maintain.

But If you choose to hear me tell,

Can make the puddings which they eat,
And mend the stockings which they wear
When maidens look upon a man
As In himself what thcy would marry,
And not as army soldiers scan
A sutlcr or commissaryj
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer Of lovers hand,
Consent to share his earthly lot"
And do not mean his lot Of land
When young mechanics are allowed
To find and wed the farmers girls
Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls;
When wives, in short, shall freely give
Their hearts and hands to aid their spouscs,
And live as they were wont to live
Within their sires' one-story houses;
Then, madam I'm not too DID,
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,

LET Us BEGIN RIGHT.

The Justices of Knox county did a noble
work on Monday and one which will re-
dound to their credit for all time to come.
We are glad the measure for inaugurating
free common schools was passed with such
unanimity. We are sure their constitrlr
ents will heartily endorse what they have
done. Time will demonstrate the wisdom
erly managed, it is the beginning of an
era of prosperity beyond anything that we
have previously enjoyed.
Weare satisfied that the commissionersap-
pointed will act with zeal and promptness
commensurate with the enterprise entrust-
ed to their keeping. All good citizens
should be willing to aid them in organic
ing free schools, and providing for early
facilities to those who, for want of means,
are growing up without the blessings of
education.
Some of the gentlemen composing the
commission are men of experience in such
matters, while all of them are practical
common-sense men, and we have conf
dence that they will discharge their duties
in satisfactory manner. Much depends
upon the manner after which the system
is organized. If the schools are properly
organized, and the funds judiciously ex-
pended from the beginning, success will at
once crown the efforts of the friends of
popular education, and the people, seeing
the beauties of the system, will not only
consent, but will demand to be taxed for
the support of a cause which is accomplish
ing so much for this country. If, On the
other hand, incompetent teachers are en-
ployed and the funds are frittered away
without accomplishing any real good, the
people will become disguised, pro-
baby without giving the matter a
fair trial. while the enemies of free
schools will raise loud clamor for their
discontinuance, pointing to their misman-
agement as an evidence of the inefficiency
and inexpediency of the system These
are things we must guard against, and it is
well to look out from the beginning. If
we begin right, and get into the right
channel, it will be easy to keep there, and
| in few months, no man in this county
will dare to raise his voice against taxing
the people to maintain free schools.

Two months ago. hiIt fosu-N'-ore found
who openly advocated taxing our people
for the support of city free schools. Less
than one month ago, our worthy Mayor
made a speech in the Board of Trade
rooms, in which he expressed himself in
favor of education, but if his remarks
meant anything at all, they meant that he
was opposed to taxing the people to sup
port city free schools. Ten days ago he
refused to come out over his own signature
in favor of such a system. Yesterday, he
had his tickets printed, and heads them,

THE prospects are very favorable now
for harmonizing the two divisions of the
Republican party in Missouri. This is nc
time for divisions in the Republican party,
and any man or set of men who either pre-
vent reeonciliations where arrangements
now exist, or press too zealously measures
calculated to create divisions, are not true
friends of the party or its cause. We sim
cerely trust the news from Missouri is

SOUTHERN RAILROAD.

The leasing of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, by such strong combination OF
capital, has attracted great deal of atten-
ton all over the country, and especially
among railroad men. From the Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
eette we take the following:
SOUTHERN RAILROAD SCHEMES.
The visit of Cameron and Delano to Georgia,
and the railroad business they have transacted,
may we'll attract attention. Hitherto the coun-
try has been accustomed to look at the great
corporations of the East extending consolidated
lines Westward.
The leasing of the Georgia road by Cameron,
Delano and Thomas Scott, of the Pennsylvania
Central, marks a new step in a consolidation
with Southern lines. The Pennsylvania road il
now completing direct line to this city from
Philadelphia. At its last session, Congress gave
this company perpetual rights of way over the
Long Bridge here and virtually gave it the
mond by way of Fredericksburg.
Westward, it already reaches to Cincinnati,
and its Newport bridge points on to its connec-
ton with the line just leased from the State OF
Georgia. Steps are in progress to secure the
Virginia and East Tennessee road in the same
interests Ths magnitude of the scheme will at
once appear from these outlines.

THE best possible proof of the immense
popularity of the " free school hobby" is
to be found in the fact that even our wor-
thy Mayor, John S. Van Glider, has es-
poused it. He has had his tickets printed
with "Free Schools at the head. In view
of the fact that, one week ago, he positive
ly refused to take any public position on
this question, his present action is signifi-
cant

THE ELECTION TODAY.

The city election to-day, Invested of all
partisan questions, is one of Importance
enough to warrant every voter to exercise
that right. We have from the beginning
favored Col. A. S. Mariner, because we be-
lieved him in every way as thoroughly
competent man as Mr.. Van Glider to
supervise the simple administrative affairs
of the city, and more especially, because,
having these qualifications, he was in addi-
ton an unequivocal friend of the great and
glorious cause of popular education. We
do not exaggerate the Importance of this
question, and are glad now to find that our
people are thoroughly aroused upon it.
Believing it to be a vital measure, we
have earnestly desired to see Col. Mariner,
who is its warm supporter, succeed over
Mr.. Van Glider, who has never until no,U,
when its popularity is assured, publicly
favored it. Upon this question, then, Col.
Mariner is certainly entitled to the warm
support of every friend of the cause. But
there are other considerations which are
equally favorable to Mr.. Mariner. We be-
lieve, as citizen of public spirit, of enter
prise. of enlarged and liberal views, he has,
to say the least, as large claims upon the
people as Mr.. Van Glider.
The latter gentleman has made good
Mayor, but we believe has been as libe-
rally rewarded for his services as any May
or the city ever had. We do not know
that for this he has any claims upon the
office over one equally well qualified.
But we think every community ought
to encourage candidate who, in an open,
manly manner, takes a position on such
a question as education, as against one who
lodges and evades it for the purpose of
catching votes. We think Mr.. Van Gill
der's whole canvass has been that of cum
ming politician rather than a straight-for-
ward candidate, and we hope he will be
given to understand that upon such ques-
lions as are involved in this canvass, peo-
pie admire manly course.
We hope every voter will see to it that
not only for Mayor, but for Aldermen,
good men are chosen, and more particular
" that they are committed upon the ques-
tons of Economy and Education.
