LATEST FROM PARIS.

There is serious trouble in Paris. The
Reds and Socialists of BcllsvilIe and Mont.
martre have brOked out into instruction. A
proclamation from President THEIRS, calling
upon the malcOntents to surrender the cannon
they have seized, and lay down their arms,
has passed unheeded. The troops sent to
quell the insurgents fraternizs with the mob.
Generals LECoMPTE and THOMAS, have been
shot by order OF the Central Revolutionary
Committee. 1t is reported that General
Vlnoy has also been shot, aud that the iusur
gents now occupy the staff and general heads
quarters Of the National Guard of paris, in the
Place Eendome. The Journal DIES De5ots
rays that Saturday will be considered as one
ofthe giOomiest hours in the history of France.
The revolution, it adds, under the banner of
pillage, is mistress Of Paris.

THE MAROH OF MONOPOLY.

The New York World has long article
under this caption, designed to expose the
corruption recently practiced by the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad Company in the
halls of legislation at Richmond. Comparing
former with later times in Virginia, the World
says:
"Hor legislation was honest, and was de
rected to the substantial, welI.ascertained in
terests of her citizens. What it is becoming
now 1t is our purpose briefly to show. That
this Niobe of States is childless, the graves
Of the precious ones scattered over the land
victims perhaps, like hers Of old, Of a lit
tie bOasttng aud the angry, reVengeful deitiss
lis true enough. She seems in n fair way
OF becoming crOwuless too, aud to bear very
-"Empty urn within her withered handS,'
and legislative generalization is raging trium>
plant within the sight of the statues of WASH
ingtOn and Mason and Marshall. 1t comes
upon her too from abroad. and the great
monster of railway monopoly has laid ON her
the hand crusted and begrimed with unWashed
cOrruDtion"

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The following extract, aud many moro of
the same disgraceful character could be
furnished, is from letter to the New York
World, dated Columbia, Marsh llth descrip-
tive of the closing scenes of the South Caro-,
lima Legislature:
Looking iu upon the House on one occa-
aion every sofa assigned to visitors admitted
to tue floor was occupied by women, all of
whom, with three exceptions, were blacks,
and all of whom, with no exception. were
WeIl>Enown courtesans Judging by the at
tentiOn paid to these "ladies, +" by the members,
1t was evident that mo discrimination on &C.
count Of race, color, or previous Cor presently
condition" would be tolerated here In the
lobby were stands for the sale of oysters and
other refreshments, including liquors of all
kinds, and about \ hundred negroes were
there consregated, smoking, drinking, eating.
and smelling loud enough to collapse, in ten
minutes, the stomach of any man not
thoroughly acclimated. A drunken uproar.
which will not attempt to describe. was nm
der full Roadway in the House, and drunken
uPrOar was under full Roadway in the lobby.
The most shocking profanity, the most lasciv.
lous and indecent conduct, the most acrid.
wild animal OdorS, the most diabolical expres.
SONS OF passion of which the worst OF faces
are caPabie-all these gave q lurid, fetid,
~ r9!Ang character to the scene. In the
midst OF it all the ''business" went on. A
half drunken member, with the real old
plantation dialect, moved that Sl6O DO paid
to some man who had repaired the clock
The motion was carried by acclamation.-
Another moved that present of 81 900 be
given the Speaker, and this was, in Ii ke man.
ner, carried IN the midst of yells which would
have done no discredit to pandemonium. And
SO were numberless other sums voted reck.
lessly away, in the midst of cries which plainly
indicated how liberal some people can be in
voting away other peoples money"

GhaElestOwur West Virg'a., March 81.

~ Though it may be a matter of very
small consideration to the public At large, yet
! We deem it our duty to say that the imprint
of the present issue of this journal is the first
time that it has recognized West Virginia as
= sOVersign and independent State, de .jure, or
the county Of Jefferson rs part aud parcel of
ie domain. Brought into being under the
aegia Of the proud old Commonwealth of Vir-
ginia-the land of chivalry aud the home of
hOnOr-it had fOndly anticipated that the
umpire whose decision was to be fual, would
never acquiescs in the "deep damuation of the
taking of" of this portion at least of her hal.
lowed soil. But the fat has gone forth-the
decision is inal-and all must bow in submis.
sion to the decree.
There is some consolation, however, to be
found in the fact, proclaimed from the pennaut
50 proudly waving from the flag staff in front
OF our Court House, that Vest Virginia is
Redeemed, Regenerated and Disseminated"
from the tyranny and OPpressiOu-the cOrrup-
tion and misrule-which has SO long cursed
Its people. The tables and the temples'ofthe
money changers have been toppled over-the
MarPlots of political intrigue aud brazen- faced
viOlatsrs of law and justice, driven into OBJ,
security, and a brighter day-dawu is fore
EhAdOWed. Ifthe people are but true to them
selves there is hope nOlO that the promise
given by the emblem of the States sovereignty,
"NOHtGHi SemPer LiGeri," may be realized
and that in truth and verify, from the Ohio to
the Potomac, Aounfaineers may be al,Cays
free. Tho present gives promise, and God
grant that the future may justify its full re-
alizatiop.

Injustice of Our Free School Law.

Several weeka ago, We submitted the query
to our County Superintendent" to know whv
1t was, that previous to the war, n tax of about
Two Dollars aud forty cts. to the tithabIe paid
our school tax, and now it takes about Twenty
Dollars to the tithable Since then our at.
tention has been called to tho Report of the
Auditor for this State aud the General Super.
intendent of Free Schools, 10 which We find
that Jefferson county pays into tho State
Treasury as a school Tax, SI4,296 90
And has in all Twenty eight Free
Schools (2S)
While Jackson county paws into
State Treasury, Sc 9o3 90
And has in it Eighty.two Free
Schools (S2)
by this showing we are required to pay one
hundred and thirty per cent. for the support
ofschools in another county. We simply ask
is this right upon any principal of justice {?
(charity is another matter.) Whenever YOU
want to render people dissatisfied or a gov
eminent distasteful, tax without consent, and
then our ancestral teaching is, to resist the
tyrant. We call the attention of our people
to the above facts and hope to find men Sc
lected as our Legislators in the future who will
do something to relieve our people from this
gross injustice.
As to the right of the many self constituted
School Commissioners in this county Lowing
special tax upon the people of their districts
against their consent, expressed in public
meeting, Is an assumption of power not war.
ranted by law.
