LETTER FROM PUTNAM.

Elitor Register
THANK you for your kindness in pub
fishing two letters for mo already, in the
interest ola Buffalo High School There
will be but Two more issues Of your paper
before the election, then the time will have
been exhausted, if not the subject or my.
self. | must now address through your
columns the tax payers Of Arbuckle and
Union Districts, Mason county, and Bulfa.
10 and Grant, Putnam county. To you,
gentlemen, must we look for the support
Of this school. If it is established, the
money necessary to carry it on must be
paid by you, and just in proportion asyour
property increases in value, will your por-
ton Of the tax increase. If could meet
with you all, and Jay the whole plan Of this
school before you as it exists in my mind,
could I in addition lay before sou the ad,
yantugcs to be derived from it, and you
would then say "we do not desire 10 have
the school established" | should deSist
from any further attempts to carry the
matter on 10 consumation. So deeply am
Impressed with the necessity and useful.
ola fr&.class High School at this place,
that had the money necessary to carry it
on, no man should share the honor with
me- | would not ask you for one cent,
but would think that two thousand dollars
! thus invested, GcR invested, not because it
would make on equal or larger return in
dollars aud cents, but because it would
yield q return Of far higher value, in the
intellectual and moral elevation of the
community, and in rearing up in our State
one of those educational institutions that
will do more toward its advancement than
the development Of its mineral resources,
right as they are. Now gentlemen tax.
payers, allow me to say with reference to
the additional tax that will have to be lev.
led in your districts to support this school
The amount put down in Arbucklo is mol
to exceed $500; that Of Union S40O; thai
Of Grant $500; that Of Buffalo $500, ma
king in all $4,000, the estimated annual
expense Of the school.
Governed by the Auditors report oil
1872, find that to support. this school
Grant and Arbuckle districts will have tc
pay, an additional tax Of less than two
mills on the dollar, or less than twenty
cents gu Tue one hundred dollars worth q

Misrepresentation.


Under this head the Mason County
Journal 10 q violent and somewhat per-
sOnaI manner charges US with "garbliOg,
and disappearing il upon the School
question. We gave to therublic its article
upon the schools, as far as i.bore upon the
subject. 1t was plain to be seen that The
editor in the article alluded to gave vent to
bis feelings, aud attempted to misload the
people into voting against levy" that the
Democratic party might BIO male response
bic wherever there were no schools 10 tho
State, and thus insure the defeat Of the
"party in power at the next general cleo
ton. After beaping all manner Of abuse
upon the Democratic party, and saying il
ought to be hurled from power, in two OF
three line article, sayStbe Republican par
ty cannot afford to vote against levy" We
do no! assume" that the journal is Op.
posed TO the FREQ school "levy," for it is
plain to be seen by any ono who will take
the trouble to read that brilliant and ably
edited (') paper We cannot conceive how
the Journal can be u friend to tho free
schools and continually assail the law that
creates them and provides the means to
carry them on. There may be q cOnSIs,
tcucy 10 this, but we fail to see it.
All over the State, there seems 10 be 0
concerted effort on tho part Of the Repub'
leans to defeat tho school levy, and to
cripple tho schools wherever they can, 10
order that the Democratic party may be
made to bear the blame, aud thus insure to
the Republicans victory at the next State
election.
The most prominent opposers Of the
school levy in Mason County, are Rcpub.
Iicaus, and particularly is it so in the
lower end Of tho county In a recent trip
to MERGERS Bottom We were told Of some
half dozen prominent Republicans who are
out spoken against school levy"
The trick Of the Jow0aL is "too thin"
and is easily seen through, It's not like
Iy that the journal will take q position
against party interest" it would be death
to it. Iftho JOuWal is 50 strong an advO.
cate Of Free Schools as it claims to be,
why does it not show up, aud speak out,
aud condemn the men Of its orn party
who insist upon defeating tic "school
levy" that they may cast the odium on
the Democratic party, that their party may
once more assume control Of West Virgin.

DrOperty. This is less than tWO-thirds Of
the per cent. allowed by the school law for
the support Of High Schools.
Now The annual report Of public schools
for 1S72-table II, PIP. IS, 10, amount
for school is put opposite Putnam to ST.
8713O. IfBufnlo district gets $500 Of
this amount, it will reduce the taxation in
The gross to 5000 for the two districts,
making The per cent. less than oue.haIf Of
that allowed by law. Thus making the
additional tax less than two mills on the
dollar
The taxpayer may raise, and | must
say very justly. tho objection: II do not
like to be taxed SO heavily for school pur'
puses and then have the money go into the
pockets of inefFicicn: officers. | do not
know where tue money is to go, and there
fore | do not wish any additional tax to be
levied for the support Of schools" This
may be good argument against a general
school levy, but it is not good one against
this spccial levy. For every cent Of The
money raised for the High School will be
expended wihin the bounds Of the districts
working together in its support Not one
cent of it will go to the general (Statc)
school fund.
Besides, the Board Of Directors Of the
high school will disburse the money and
may be held responsible by the Board of
Education of each district. See school
law p. II.
| will close this letter with stating that q
district may vote against a general levy
for the support Of common scboo Is within
their bounds aud at the same time vote
far a levy for the support Of tue high
school.
This of course, would make the taxes in
those districts voting against levy aud for
the high school, much less than they now
are. should dislike to see such vote,
but | do hope that you, gentlemen tax
payers, who intend to vote against levy,
will vote for the High School at Buffalo.
Respectfully,

nTha Pen itentiarv Case. "

The opinion of the Supreme Court Of
Appeals in the PonitOntiary case is one
that must be heartily ConCurred 10 by oV'
cry honest mao who reads 1t states the
law SO plainly, its reasoning is so close and
conclusive, and withaI so strongly fortified
by citations of authority, tbOt no person
DESTROYS of learning the truth can fail to be
convinced that the opinion is correct, and
the Judges could not have decided other
wise than they did with proper regard to
their judicial character and their ouths Of
office.
The completeness and comprehensive
character OF the opinion will attract gener.
al attention, Every point raised, every
argument adduccd il support Of the ex'
traordinary claim put forth by tho Cover
nor and his special adherents, was careful
ly and COnScientiously examined. Moth
lug was left uuconsidered nor unanswered,
aud the strong legal reasons for the decs'
ion were found to stand unassailed and un
assailable. Chief Justice Raymond, Pres
ident of the Court and the author Of the
opinion, deserves credit for having express
ed it 50 clearly aud marshalIed with such
irresistible force the reasons, upon which
it is based. 1t leaves absolutely no ground
for caviIng; no single point of weakness
or defect. In short it is simply plain
common sense, which he who runs may
read aud understand, and the wonder is
that even Governor Jacob should have
been betrayed into the assumption of pow
ers which the law SO clearly shows to be
preposterous aud absurd. = Wheeling BEG

The Courier says: the attempt Of the
Radical press TO impute unworthy motives
to the members Of the Court Of Appeals in
the decision Of the Bridgcs.Sballcross
MmdanNs case; because they sec in it tho
defeat Of all chances for future success, is
a manifestation Of their rockIessncss and
the extremity to which they are put. It
is sufficient to say that the opinion of the
Court is an honest one and is conceded to
be so, by those who defended tho Cover
nor's interest and views.

Mexican Rumors.

Rumors are 10 circulation in and around
Washington which, if true, indicate that
our Mexican friends were not as much
pleased with general McKouzio's surprise
party rs at FIRST appeared, 1t is learned
from San Antonio, Texas, General Augur's
head quarters, that the Mexican General
Escobedo, with an entire division Of the
Mexican army. had been ordered to the
Rio Grandc. The inference drawn from
this unusual movement is that the pur-
pose is not friendly. 1t seems that the
leader Of the expedition is known to be
very hostile to tue United States and it is
supposed intends to cross the Rio GraOde
aud retaliato for the raid Of Mckenzie
against the Kickapoo Indians. In con-
6rmation of the foregoing later report an.
uounco that a fight has already occurred
between the United States forces on the
Rio Grando and combined column Of
Mexicans and Kickapoos, 1t was stated
that the battle took place on the fourth
and resulted in victory for the American
troops. General Mckenzie is reported
killed. These are unofficial reports but
seem to be credited in Washington.
