view Of the subject, and one which viii

the bonded debt Of Virginia on the tirs

money borrowed and expended IN i'm

All these expenditures conferred a 10,

experienced this truth under a Radi
cal administration. and yet many who
suffered its evils have proven them
selves willing 10 come again under the
same pernicious rule, and these, we
suspect, are the very men who are 80
clamorous for what they call reform.
Dcmagogues always reform downward,
and their miserable tools arc jealous
in a ratio with their ignorance. Let
us have all needed reform, but let us
go to work like intelligent men, under
standing the magnitude Of existing
evils and their remedies. When men
become honest and intelligent enough
TO avoid litigation the law courts will
cease to be burden, and when crime
is unknown, the penal code will be a
dead letter We indulge no such Tito
plan dream, but insist that the people
have no right to complain of institu-
tons built up by their own vices with
out fret attempting, in good faith, to
make such reforms within themselves
as will render those institutions less
oppressive and necessary. But until
the vicious class is reformed, the most
we can do il to reform the system Of
criminal laws SO as to punish petty
crimes at less cost to the better class
Of citizens.

THE Savannah News Gays that when
a white man in Georgia falls into the
arms of Radicalism, he loSes all re-
spect for the truth and decency. We
do not see why this remark is moro
applicable to Georgia than to Tennes-
see, Butwe differ with the News and
would suggest, as an amendment to his
proposition, that the loss ofall respect
for truth and decency precedes the de.
gradingfall. The honest patriot never
forsakes his country's cause. The
traitor was traitor prior to commit.
ting the overta act. Ifyou would know
the new converts to Radicalism, marx
those who prophecy that Grant is go
sng to reverse his policy and do won
ders for the South and the whole coun
try.

THE DENTAL ENGINE.

4 We called recently upon DIR. w. Il.
Beach, dental surgeon, whose residence
and Office Is next door TO the Metho-
dist church, on Franklin street. and
we're shown his Dental Engine, which
instrument marks an era of improve
ment in dentistry. DR.. Beach very pc
lite'y gave us thorough explanation
of this remarkably useful machine,
and its modes Of action. 1t can be
used in performing any dental opera
ton, except extracting teeth, and pack
ing the filing in them. The chief adj
vantages of its use are, that, with it,
the dentistcan operate upon the teeth in
any locality in the mouth and from
any direction, with greater accuracy
and rapidity, and with far less pain to
the patient. Any operation can be
performed with this machine in one
fourth the time consumed by the hand
method And the work thus done has
higher finish.
1t is handsome little machine, il
placed near the operators chair,
weighs about thirty five pounds and is
put in motion by the foot, like sew.
ing machine.

GAsLIGHT FOR OUR STREETs.-The
Board Of Mayor and Alderman must
have arrived at the conclusion to keep
our streets in darkness, by some
strange process of reasoning As an
economical measure, it is about as sen.
sible as for a man to stand upon a
plank and try to lift himself up by it.
The corporations funds are raised
By taxation, and the amount thus rails
ed will always be in proportion to our
population and trade. But there is no
more certain plan to drive away both
trade and population from this city,
than the proposed one of unlightcd aud
dangerous streets, II is penny wise
and pound foolish.

ALL Of us desire to see as much
economy as possible in the manage,
ment Of State, county and cooperation
affairs; but there is false as well a,
true economy. To economic in

trade and render life and property in
secure, is certainly saving at the
spigot, but leak at the bung.

GAINESVILLE AND PRINCETON
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS oPTHE BOARD.
The Directors of the GAINESVILLE and
Princeton Railroad are requested to
meet at the Office Of President Daniel
in this city, on Tuesday, Dec, Ord, to
transact important business. We hope
that every member of the Board will
be present, Activity is required and
the stockholders and friends Of tho
road are expecting work Let there
be no failure in this meeting for'want
Of a quorum Prompt attendance--is
expected.
Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1872-11-30

A GENTLEMAN asked us, tho othel
day how GAINESVILLE can expect 3,
prosper when it has fenced itself in
with tolls, until man can neither
get in OF out with out paying, unless
he be ON foot Instead of inviting
trade, by offering facilities Of egress
our toll gates and toll bridges and
ferries declare to outsiders that they
will pay for the goods, as well as foi
the privilege of getting at them. The
most damaging effect Of these restric.
tions upon trade, is the encouragement,
it gives to the people Of the county to
patronize the country stores rather
than pay double tolls for every trip to
GAINESVILLE. In addition to this prac-
teal result, there is an impression,
growing out of this restriction, that a
town which thus fences itself in, lacks
the )iberality and public spirit that
are characteristic of live business
people. 1t begets no confidence in the
business capacity Of its dealers and re-
presses the pride the people would
otherwise feel in the growth Of their
county town.
1t is the belief of many, that the
trade lost will more than balance the
revenue derived from the bridges, and
though the corporation collect the
toll on country produce, the citizens
who consume it pay back the toll, in
the price of that produce-so that The
citizens lose what the corporatins gains,
and the town is no better off than if
the bridges were free, indeed, not near
so well of, if we consider the life and
animation that might be impaired to
trade, in general, by removing all such
restrictions as those above named. 1t
is not what the corporation makes that
gives growth and thrift to the town,
but what is made by its citizens-its
mechanics especially.

The United States takes the lead of all ma
lions in enterprise and competition, and
New York is the first generally, to offer
the greatest advantages. Almost every
month brings forth new advertisements, as
liberal in their terms as they are sparkling
in their originality.
In another column of this paper the
Grand Opera Co., 129 Fulton Street, New
York, advertise to give performances
throughout the United States and distribute
100000 among purchasers of tickets.
Ticket holders receive handsome present
at the time of purchase; admission to one
opera /; and chance of a prize at the final
presentation.
We do not endorse gift enterprises; but
this does not appear to class as such, but
rather Stock Company giving bona Jtfde
Operas and then returning to their patrons
great share OF the profits. This is indeed
competition, and certainly guarantees to
every one the value of his money.

REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF Gas.
The Watertown Gas Company have re-
duced the price of gas to 81 90 per thous-
and feet, reduction of 20 cents. This is
the second reduction in the price of gas the
company have made within two years the
original price having been $3.50 per thous-
and. The company are making every eff
fort to increase the number of their consum-
ers, and are determined to furnish gas at as
low a price as can possibly be afforded
Every encouragement should be given to the
company for the good work they have ac-
complished in furnishing to our city pure
quality of gas at as low price as the sue
cess and permanency of their business would
admit By prudent management the works
are now in a fair way of being renumerative
to the owners, and we have no doubt the
reduction they have just made to those who
use gas will tend to considerably increase
the number Of their consumers.

To ASSESSORS. We make tie fol-
lowing extract from the instructions of LII.
Breese, Secretary of State, which Asses sors
will do we'll to note and follow;
GA strict compliance with the spirit and
letter Of the Assessment Law in the part of
Assessors is absolutely necessary, to secure
Justice to all and injustice to none. An Assess
scr who cannot conscientiously govern him.
self by the law should resign and give place
to some one who can and will. There are
two principal considerations which should
be borne in mind as the special subject of
the assessment law: LIST. All property of
whatever nature; unless exempt by law,
should be listed. To discover this property,
whether in land, money, credits, bonds and
mortgages, stock or goods and cattle, is the
first duty of the Assessor. I'd The true yGlue
of all such property should be ascertained.
This is to be done by the Assessor, upon has
oath, SO far as the property is exhibited o
him, and not by the persons enumerating
the various articles of which his property
consists"

Their. From letter found on his person
from his oyerseer, 1t appears that he was a
lahoring man, employed on Railroad work
at Sparta, and being taken sick and out of
money, transportation was asked for him to
Chicago where his family reside. at the
last moment DR.. 7. G. Williams was sum-
moned to the assistance of the dying man,
but before his arrival death had claimed
the unfortunate victim. A coroners
jury was called ON the case, empanelled by
Justice Rogan, composed of the following
persons: P. Devy. F. Meyer, P. Devils
court, H. Bredow, J. Staub, P McCabe. A
post norton examination of the body
the deceased man, made by Doctor Cody,
assisted by Doctor A. Sollidey, revealed
inflammation of the liver as the cause of
death, and the jury rendered verdict ac-
coIdingly. The remains were taken in
charge of by Mr.. c. Schroeder, undertaken,
and properly inferred in the Oak Hill Gem
etery.
