THE SCHOOL TAX.

Tn the REGISTER OF the % inst. we
npblished and referred editorially to an
article in the Charleston Courier in re
lation to the mode Of levying and the
maximum rate of the county tax for
school purposes. We have since learn
ed that the impression we had received
concerning the intention Of the Consti'
tutional Convention in this respect was
incorrect. We are glad to announce
that the mistake which we feared the
Convention was about to commit upon
the subject will be successfully avoided
The report Of the Committee on Tax
alton and Finance, az approved by the
Committee of the Whole, provides that
County Authorities shall never assess
taxes, the aggregate of which shall ex'
coed seventy-five cents per one hundred
dollars valuation, except for the pay
ment OF Indebtedness existing at the
time Of the adoption Of this Coustitu-
ton, unless such assessment, with all
questions involving the increase OF such
aggregate, shall have been submitted to
the people OF the county and have re-
ceived three-ffths of all the votes cast
for and against it." This is intended to
refer to taxes levied for county purpo-
SEES alone and does not include the
funds 10 he raised for free school
purposes in the several counties.
The latter will he provided for
in the article upon the subject oil
Education and we are assured that the
report Of the committee on this topic
will be as liberal as prudent regard for
the interests Of the free schools will
sanction Local boards of Education
will probably be authorized to make
annual estimates Of the sums necessary
for the support Of the schools and for
building purposes, and the county court
will be required to make levy accord
inglv. 1t is said to be probable that
the maximum levy for maintaining the
schools will be fixed at about thirty
cents, and that for school building pur-
poses at the same rate on the hundred
dollars. The maximum rate OF the
State tax for general school purposes
will probably be fixed at fifteen cents
instead of ten as provided in the pres
ent Constitution.
We sincerely hope that the Conver-
ton will deal literally with the public
schools. They are without doubt the
paramount interest in West Virginia
to day and deserve more the fostering
care Of the legislative body than any
other matter OF State concern. We
cannot afford to make any mistake in
this regard, for popular approval will
scarcely sanction either constitutional
provision or a legislative enactment
which savors OF any unfriendliness to
the school system. If any error be
committed at all in relation to the
schools it were better to be on the safe
side; rather on the side Of liberaity to
the free schools than to their prejudice.

CORPORATIONS.

We published several days ago the
report of the Committee OF the Whole
in the Constitutional Convention in
relation to Corporations, and now have
the pleasure of printing the remarks Of
Mr.. FIrzHUGH made thereon at the time
it was under consideration.
We have no doubt whatever concern
ing the imminency OF the danger which
threatens almost every State IN the
Union, and the Federal Government
itself, from the rapidly growing power
of the railroad companies, and are
willing to go as far as the farthest in
any effort which seems likely to curb
the dangerous character OF their intlu'
cnce; but we see many grave objections
to the constitutional provisions upon
that subject presented in the report now
before the Convention.
The inquisitorial feature Of the re-
port, as regards railroad companies
NAV be seriously embarrassing and
detrimental to new enterprises, which
il is manifestly to the interest OF the
State to encourage. The financial con
dition of railroad company is as much
a private affair and is as much entitled
to be screened from invidious inspection
as is the bank account OF merchant
or manufacturer The Legislature
should have no right to require such
an exhibition as is provided for in the
seventh section of the report. 1t is a
matter with which the general public
have no more concern than they have
in the affairs OF manufacturing com
pany or in the internal operations OF q
business firm.
But the most serious objection We
have t. the report, though the former
one is insarmountable, is that all rail
roads in the State are by the ninth
section declared public highways.
Under the well settled judicial inter-
pretation of tbs phrase, the Legislature
NAV consider these roads, although built
by private capital, as common property
upon which every citizen Of the State
has an equal right to put locomotive
AMI train Of cars to be run for his own
special and private benefit. To merely
mention the evils that may flow from
the exercise Of the power to be conferred
by this constitutional provision may be
sufficient to convince every one OF its
impolicy. But, as Mr.. FlrzHUGH very
plainly shows, this will only operate to
the disadvantage of the new companies
whose formation and encouragement
West Virginia SO seriously needs.
Rights that are already vested and ex
ercised may not be disturbed, but
assuredly no new railroad company
will ever be formed to helr
West Virginia to get out Of
the wilderness if such restrictions
and disabilities are imposed as are con-

VIsItto the Union school.

Ed. JaURSAL: PickwIck, IN "PicKwick Pa
pers ;" the distinguished founder Of the club
which re his name, was always in the habit {
taking with him book, in which, ifhe saw any
thing extraordinary or unusual, he would make
note of it," So we, while visiting the Union
School oS this place last Friday afternoon. noted
down what struck us as being worthy of notice.
And in looking over our note book We see, first,
that the School is in nourshing condition, IN
der she eff ;ieut management Of the Rev. Mr..
Taylor, the present Superintendent, who is aid
ed by an able and thorough corps Of .teachers'
whose motto seems to be " Testigia nuiLa refror-
sum." Under tue old philosophy the highest
word was Couture" and under the new phlos-
ophy the highest word was Progress ;" and the
scholar Of to-daywho oes not seek higher at
tainments in the art of progress, will soon be-
come obnoxious in the sight of a practical. en-
lightened community.
We were also glad to see that this spirit Of
progress was not confined to the teachers, but
that the pupils committed to their care had I'M
bbed largely of the same spirit. This was clear
ly evinced by the m inner in which the essays
were prepared and read But one of the most
attractive features Of the afternoon were two dis
cussinns. The first, "R,solcc1, That the mind

if he still improves in this direction in the future
as iu tie past, we predict a bright future for
him. Next comes Miss Robertson with deter
mRatisn to conquer, and if we were rightly in.
fjImld, victory crowned her eff rt and there
proved to her opponent that the mind OF woman
is at least equal with man.

For fear Mr.. editor We weary your patience
and aat Of your readers, We wish to say in short,
that our schG0s in an excellent condition
and that Il the Board of Educa tnu and the pa

the teacher more by their presence, we would
still greater interest on the part Of teachers
aud pupils during the remainder Of the year.
