lamation reads out the Tribune and IIor-
ace Greeley rs distinctly as though it
called them by name, the plan of the
Tribune would put the free traders out of
existence.
We confess that our sympathies incline
us toward the free traders in this scrim-
mage, although we do not endorse their
doctrine. When we see one man step
into another mans house, drive out the
owner, take complete possession of the
property and proceed to dispose of it rs
he pleases, we have a feeling of compass
sion FOR the wronged man, and indigEa-
ton against the thief who plumbers him
for reasons akin to these we sympathize
with the original movers Of the Cincinnati
Convention. Beside this, the free traders
manifest some regard for principle in their
course. They insist that the convention
shall be one of principle. But the 1'rib-
une objects to a declaration of principles,
and proposes to make the public patron
age the leading object, We imagine the
free traders will not be driven to aban-
don their principles, whoever may control
the convention. They are not disaffected
with Grants administration farther than
what is caused by the tariff. They give ii
credit for managing the affairs of the gov
eminent well. They are not soreheads,
disappointed because they have not been
able to control offices and patronage, but
of the tariff Imagine the
nomination of Horace Greeley for Presi-
dent or Vice President, forced upon such
men by the Cincinnati Convention, and
conceive their disgust and rage thereat if
it were possible Yet this may be the re-

ture was to set apart portion of the public
domain for ministerial and school funds" in
the several towns. In 1928 the permanent
school fund was initiated from the same
source, the interest of which should annually
be appropriated in aid of public schools. In
1888 the tax on the State banks was diverted
to the support of public schools. In 1872
the last Legislature-the same principle was
exercised by taxing the total amount of de-
posts in Savings banks and appropriatng
the proceeds for the use of schools. Surely
if the State may appropriate portion of its
domain TO the use of schools, if the State
may tax one OF its interests, portion of it.
self, for the same purpose, for still strong
en- reason may the State tax the achole of it
self in support of public schools which are
confessedly ''for the benefit' and Essential to
tho preservation of the rights and liberties of
the people"
4th. 1t is an equitable tax and in conform
ity with section S, article TX, General provis-
ions of Constitution. "All taxes upon real
estate, assessed by authority of the State
shall be apportioned and assessed equally
according to the value thereof"
Considering therefore that the school mill
fund is an aid in support of schools; that the
Constitution contains no express provision
prohibiting such aid on the part of the Legis-
lature; that the expression of the Legisla-
ture is Law in cases clearly not repugnant to
the Constitution and even in doubtful cases;
4. Al. IS

sequent legislative acts bearing upon this

and that it is an equitable levy upon the prop
Gritty of the State, the easy and reasonable
conclusion follows that the ''act to establish
the school mill fund for the support of COM
mon schools is constitutional.

Smallpox is spreading with such fright
full rapidity in New York and Brooklyn
that it has alarmed the health department
OF the two cities to the adoption of the
mostrigorous measures against it. Medical
men are stationed at al the police stations
with the means OF vaccination, which are
free to all who will use them. Cases of
the disease breaking out in this State are
known, also in other places remote from
New York, showing that it is on its
travels. ~

UNDER WHICH KING

The authorities in'regard to the Gin
cinnati convention still continue to clash.
The war between them is bold and vigo-
rous but not exactly decisive. Whether
pear. The originators of the NOV emeht,
the free traders, stoutly object to going
into partnership with the high tariff men,
while the latter streuously insist that they
can, shall, and must do it. The Tribune
of Saturday issues the following pronun-
ciamento:
"The Convention to be held at Cincinnati
on the first day of May is to be Republican
Convention. Neither the Grant nor the Demo-
craticparty can participate in its deliberations.
The nominees will be Republican, and it will
then be the province of the people to deter
mine whether or not to elect them. No mans
vote, who may choose to give it, will or can
be rejected The inquiry as to what may
have been his views in the past will not be
made. Although all Republicans favorable
to the movement are invited to attend, it is
expected, of course, that the representatives
of the different States will meet separately,
and determine for whom the vote of their
respective States shall be given, as is the
case in all National Conventions This will
put 1t out OF the power of those who might
contemplate mischefif it were simply mass
meeting"
The above it will be noticed has the ring
of authority. 1t is !, the Tribune speak
ing, announcing who may come into the
convention and who shall not; who the
candidates shall be and how nominated ;
and particularly what steps shall be taken
to prevent the people who might gather
there under the call for mass meeting
taking the management from the
hands of the clique for which the Tribune
speaks.
Turning to the New York Post of Tues
day last, We have evidence that the splret
OF the free traders still lives. though they
seem to be somewhat astonished by the
bold attempt to rob them of their rights.
The following from the Post is q counter
proclamation to the one above from ,be
Tribune:
'"A main object of the convention about IN
be held at Cincinnati is, to bring fairly into
the canvass this question of the tariff. and so
to secure the election of government which.
both in its executive and its legislative depart.
nents, shall keep in view the reform now
needed; none but Republicans who have this
object in view as main purpose can take
part in that convention for the simple reason
that the call for it, as issued in Missouri, pre-,
cludes them from being recognised as mem
bers."
We cannot see, either with or without
glasses. how these two forces can be united
at Cincinnati. The Post says squarely
that the tariff question shall be- brought
into the convention, and the Tribune SAYS
1t shall not The Post says only repnbli-
cans who have change in the tariff and
civil service reform in view shall be ad-
mitted, while the Tribune says no mans
vote shall be rejected. The Posts proc

The revolution in Mexico seems to be
in sorry condition. 1t has sustained
several disastrous defeats recently which
have nearly or quite ended it. The Veto

The ramic plant continues to enlist consid-
cradle interest in many parts Of the South.
1t is now generally conceded that it will be a
profitable crop, more than sugar, cotton, rice
or tobacco, whenever machine is invented
which will be to the ramie fibre what Whit
ney's saw gin was originally to the cotton fibre.
A machine is all that is necessary to make it
in few years one of the most valuable crops
in the South.

1t is fact worthy of general notice that
wood may be rendered without great labor or
expense, nearly as capable of resisting fire as
brick or stone. This is done by soaking the
dried lumber a short time in solution of
soluble glass, silicate of soda of potash,
after which it is immersed in lime-water, by
which the silicate of soda is decomposed and
the pores of the wood filled with silicate Of
ii'he' The substance is tire-proof, and can
not be dissolved in water, and its presence
and effect in the fiber of the wood are, thera-
lore' permanent. Soluble glass is readily OBJ
tanned being already largely used for various
purposes IN this country. There is no patent
upon the process, and it can therefore be used
by any builder or lumbe !, dealer.

The Titusville Herald says the oil trade for
1871, taken as a whole, was very prosperous
during the year that has just closed. The
product Of the Pennsylvania district was
500, 900 barrels last year, against 1863 900
barrels in 1870. The value of the yield in
this region is set down at G,O00, 900. In adj
dition to the product of the Keystone State,
considerable quantities were produced in West
Virginia Ohio and Canada, swelling the total
yield of the whole country to the enormous
amount of 5000, 600 barrels, an amount great
er than that of any previous year.
