EARNEST REsoSsTRAsoE AGAINST Nh. LESLEY 4
SCHEME OF $4,000 YEAR TAXATION.
bill introduced into the Senate, at Dover. bv
Mr.. Lesley, and apparently a very harmless and
innocent little thing, IL creating much excite
ment at New Castle among the people, They
say there is an active, full-grown snake in it,
and strong remonstrance has been sent to
Dover, against it's passage. The remonstrance
states -
THE object Of this bill as we understand it. ia
to give the education committee Of the Trnsteea
of the New Castles commons with the consent
of majority OF the school voters) power to Law
tax OF $1,000 for the support OF the schools
under the control Of the said Trustees To this
measure, gotten up by the Trustees of the com
mons without consultation with and without the
knowledge of the people of the the town. we
utterly opposed. II is unjust, wrong and op-
pressive."
1.-The remonstrance proceeds to support these
appellations by arguments and facts. Ii SAWS
the Trustees were Incorporated in 1852, upon
the basis that the Common funds should sup
port the schools without taxation. 5000. wear
1t ID declared is oppressive and disproportionate
to the tax-paying ability of the citizens. They
further say -
The revenue derived from the lands held by
the Trustee OF the Commons, by their last report
is about 10000, per aunun. Out Of this sum
they pay 80 ,O00 annually, to the New Castle Wa
ter Works, putting repairs, etc, upon the farms,
ard carrying on the schools. Il is evident from
these statements, that II there is deficiency
of means to provide for the schools, it must be
because the funds are mismaDaged We say
there is no lack Of such means to support the
schools on an economical basis, without re-
sort to taxation, and il it must be done, we
protest against placing that power in other
hands than the regular school committee, or
ganized under the school law. Let 1t not be
supposed that no oppressive tax will be laid be-
cause the people are to vote for it. The Irus-
tees hold the control Of that matter, and by
threatening to close the schools which they can
do at any moment if they sec proper, they can
Whenever they choose obtain majority Of per-
sons paying httle or no tax to favor tue raising

The visit Of President Grant is to be made the
occasion Of a considerable demonstration of
welcome, Chiefly by the municipal authorities
who have assumed the charge OF al arrange
ments. The President comes, with some three
objects. He is interested in our city, and de-
sires to see its vigorous Industrial operations !;
he comes, inreturn Of the compliment paid him
by Delaware, when she cast her electoral vote
in his behalf; and he desires, moreover. to as
sist the patriotic objects, to which the fund
realized st the Soldiers Fair is to be appropri-
ated.
For the President to pay us this visit. in the
midst OF pressing duties, is an honor which It ia
right to suitably acknowledge, and all the ar
rangements, made and to be made, will we
know, have this purpose steadily in view. That
thsy will be successfully carried out with skill
and tact, is certainly profoundly to be hoped
Beyond question, the people Of Wilmington.

and most cordial welcome to ULYSSES s. GRAEr

feeling men Of all classes and all politics viii !

and because of the high position which he ills.

mary Of Transfers.

The condition Of the real estate market is still
"between hay and grass" as farmer wouldsay-
The unsettled feeling in regard to money mat
ters during the first six weeks OF the year ex-
ercised oppressive influence on the speculative
activity, and this is even yet having some effect
in the same direction, as money is still tight in
the East, where q large amount Of the capital
has always come from to buy Chicago real e8-
tate. Tho weather also has been extremely un-
favorable to sales OF suburban lands and lots,
and though there is,a feeling OF restored conf
dence in the West now in regard to the supply Of
money, it cannot be expected that real estate
sales will increase much until we have mora
favorable weather for driving and getting around
the suburbs.
Notwithstanding these circumstances, tho
volume ct real estate transfers has been mncn
larger during the last two months than over
before in the same season OF the year. It was 4
subject Of remark last year that the volume Of
tranafers in the first quarter OF 1872 were greater
than in the corresponding period Of 1871. The
confidence that the city would be rebuilt
grander scale, Which was the foundation OF tho
activity then, has been fully realized. II there
WAS to be any reaction from the conti-
dence manifested then, it might have been
expected st tho beginning OF this year,
but, If the volume Of transfers is any indication
Of continued activity and steady increase in
values, then it ia to be found in the larger vol
u1ne Of sales during the last two months than
in the corresponding time Of 1879. The fol-
lowing Is 4 comparison OF the weekly aggregates

EMIGRATION OF THE NEGROES.-A re-
markable phenomenon is witnessed in the
emigration of the negroes of the south
In North COrOlina there seems to be a COM
plete uPheaval of the colored population.
Almost every paper from that state contains
accounts OF tho negroes emigrating in
droves to the more southern states. In
some counties the decrease of the popula-
ton has become so great as to cause much
mbarrassment concerning farm labor
The number of labOrers is small and the
wages they demand exceedingly high -
This emigration of negroes to the farther
south is in complete harmony with natural
laws, and will continue until the great pro-
portion of that race will be Withdrawn to
climes more congenial to their physical and
social condition. The great majority will
settle in the gulf states until the encroach-
ment of the whites will cause them to re-
tire farther south to Mexico and the West
Indies.
The Augusta Chronicle estimates that
not less than 30, 600 persons have emigrated
from Georgia to the west in the last two
years. This emigration has been almost
wholly confined to the colored race. Dur
ing the present season the exodus has as
sumed such proportions as to be extremely
disquieting. Scarcely a day passes in which
bands of emigrants ranging i'll number
from fifty to two hundred are not seen on
the way through Macon or Atlanta to Mis-
sissippi, Texas and Arkansas. Thus far
nine-tenths of the emigration is from South
western Georgia, the most fruitful region
OF the state. The results of this emigra-
ton will be extremely injurious to the
planters. At the very time when contracts
for labor have terminated, and when those
for the new year should be made, the col
ored people refuse to renew their engage
meuts, and many are leaving the state.-
Should not cessation to this emigration
take place it will be very difficult for the
present year to carry on agricultural pur-
suits in that portion of Georgia.-Harris-
burg Patriot.
