ADoa LAw.-The CHANGERS Of this county
are actively circulating petitions for sigma
lures in favor OF law taxing dogs. AS the
Legislature manifests such decided opposl-
ton to the passage Of a general law imposing
tex upon dogs, we understand the petit
TONERS referred to ask for law that VIII De
local in it's operations. II tue constituents
of some of the members Of the Legislature
nrefer dogs to sheep, and on that account
the said members resist the passage of q gen.
eral law for the protection OF sheep, we hope
they will feelno squeamishness about grant
ing TO the farmers of Clarke, many of whom
are Interested in sheep,raising, the privileges
conferred by a law OF this kind. We do not
think we are exaggerating when we say that
about S4OO worth Of sheep have been killed
by dogs in this county within the last few
years, and surely it would bea crying shame,
with such losses staring them in the face, for
the Legislature to hesitate to grant the pro-
lection asked by the petitioners. :.
! The Richmond papers, Of late, knowing
the feeling in the agricultural regions ofthe
State on this question, are ou:-5poken in
favor of dog law. The Richmond Dispatch,

CorETIEs TO PAY CRIMINAL EXPENSES
This will relieve the State Treasury, but is
absolutely no relief to the people, for they
will simply exchange the power that taxes
them for criminal expenses. Now it is the
State. If the bill passes it will be the cor
poration or county. fredericksburg Her.
aid.
The counties couldn't pay these charges.
They would have to let the criminals 60 un.
punished. 1t is only by extending The cost
over number of years and sharing the ex-
pense with one another that the counties are
able to pay these expenses under the present
system. To require each county to pay its
own criminal charges is like requiring each
man 10 insure his own property. A hun
tlred men can insure one another, and in a
term of years it will cost as much as if each
mau paid for that is, suffered the loss o) his
own burned buildings but that does not
prove that it would be wise for each man to
do SO instead of uniting with number OF
Others to share the expense, and thus extend
it over q number Of years.

The Dogs may Tremble.

The. grangers Of Clarke county, in this
state, are circulating petitions to the Legls'
lature in favor of taxing dogs. We are glad
TO hear this. The subject is directly in the
line of operations of the grangcrs. They
arc devoted to the interests Of agrlcul
tarc, to its protection and encourage
mcnt. and to the diminution Of its
losses and the increase of its gains. One
rreat enemy of agriculture there are
few that subject it to greater loss-ls the
dog and therefore in the prosecution OF
their labors the grangers should ego for "
the dog. They can in few modes do more
efficient service to tillage and hlls0andry
than by protecting them from the raVaseS
Of dogs.
There are good dogs and bad dogs. But
no dogs are allowed to be bad by their mag
tiers; and good dogs will kill sheep it neg
lcctcd by their masters and allowed to run
sheer. Taxing them will diminish their
number. The moral effect of the tax will
pc to give the farmer and husbandman the
whip hand of the dog. He will have TO be-
come citizen of good report and will haVeto
BE circumspect in bis daily walks, or be will
pay the penalty. Tillers of the soil will be-
<amc more decidedly masters of their own
grounds, and the shooting of suspected
canine trespassers will be regarded as pro-
per.
Owing to the past customs and conditions
Of the olden time the dog was the frcest anil
nal in the country. Everybody had favor"
tics, and the killing of dog was regarded
as murder of no low degree, and one to be
avenged. But times have changed, and we
now Gud that one branch Of husbandry Is
rendered almost impracticable by the ravages
of dogs-a branch of busbandry, too, that,
propcriy protected, would be peculiarly pro-
h,sble in Virginia. The dog then becomes
\ public enemy, and must lose his position
of net in society, and lose his privileges of
rooming at will over the land. All valuable
animals are taxed, and one would think the
dog might as we'll bear the tax as his betters.
But as be has no value in the market, tax
upon him would only prove that he is
i
would avoid. Establish the fact by law that
he is nuisance, and public opinion will
place him in his proper position, to the great
relief of the husbandlnan. None but dogs
held in high respect will pay taxes, and their
owners will see that they are of steady and
honest habits. All other dogs must look out
for themselves. The detestable ours will
rapidly diminish in numbers.
IS we said before, the question Is between
dogs aud sheep-between animals that are
worthless and animals that are of great value,
that afford to society its chief source of com
fort both in wearing apparel and subslst
ence, and that constitute an important par
of private wealth and OF the resources of TIT
State.
We trust the oranges will give the dog
their proper place in the list of nuisance
and in the category of the enemies Of III

The state senate-The Library.


The grave and reverend Senate Of WIZ

and will be sure to manifest uncsslness ~

The floor Of the Library-room is one OF
,hc most substantial and strong to DC fouho

mon it in no sense placed it in danger. 1,
al the plastering from the ceiling of the IL

hardly cause the slightest tremor in 1t. ina'

BENNETT, of the Herald, has offered to
establish cauldrons of soup at all the police
and fre-stations in New York, where the
poor shall be supplied gratuitously. The
city government has. accepted the offer.
DELxoN1Co Is to prepare the soup. The dam
ger Is that with the name Of DELxoNIco to
recommend it the patronage may become too
extensive. Soup has been regarded as food
peculiarly adapted to the stomaehs of the
Door; but BENssrT's soup may DO looked
upon as suitable to more ambitious digestive
organs. This benevoleDce Of his, however,
deserves the general spplsuSe.

plainly and forcibly illustrates the obloquy

Doa-TAx.-The Farmers Club Of Fairfax
county have adopted resolutions asking the
Legislature to allow each county to decide
for itself whether it will tax dogs or not.
The farmers Of that region wish to raise
sheep, and to encourage that branch of in
dustry want to tax dogs for the benefit OF
those who lost sheep by their predatory raids.
Tax tie dogs, whiskey.shops, and other
nuisances, and by SO doing you'll add much
to the peace and prosperity of Virginia.

AN EXPERIMENT IN 'CIvu RIGHTS. The
new school trustees appointed by the District
Of Columbia Commissioners have already
taken radical action upon assuming the
duties Of their Office. Their first step has
been to attempt complete reorganization of
the school system Of the District, thus making
compulsory the mingling of the children of
the white and black races. Serious trouble
seems to confront them at the beginning of
this experiment. The old trustees will en-
deavor to obtain an injunction on the ground
that their appointment is illegal. If, how
ever, they should remain in Office, they will
probably persevere in the policy which they
yesterday inaugurated, and thus afford to
Congressmen and the country practical test
OF the wisdom or folly of the Civil Rights
bill
