A correspondent of a Northern paper
now travelling in the South contributes
the following;
An anecdote was told me the other
day of n balloon ascension that occur.

took place from the Public Square, the

The Senatorial Succession.

abilities and capacity OF several among

in conscience, throw fire brand into

The New York Republic.

This is one of the last sad utlerances
Of the New York Republic:
"rhe immaculate editors Of the in
dependent press have established TO
their own satisfaction that public man
in this couRtrv has no right TO make any
provision for the support of himself and
family beyond the petty compensation
afforded him by the Government, and
if he votes to Increase that compensa-
tion so rs 70 make it adequate to his
maintenance, he IS denounced as a sal
airy grabber.'"
Having said this it was time to die.

The Poll Taxes.

We are not certain, but believe we
clipped the following from the Nash
vile Banner:
The State s--Superintenden OF
Public Instruction, Comptroller and
Treasurer--are almost daily in receipt
of ina liries regarding the apparently
small amount ol poll tax distributed in
the October apporiionmenl The poll
tax Of the State ought 10 amount an
nually to al least Sl50,000 or $4,000
vet, from the first Monday in April last
10 the first Monday in October last, mt
which time The apportionmunt "ao
made Cor rather on the 18th OF October,
to which time the apportionmcnt was
postponed on occount Of The tardiness
oftwo County Supcrinrendents in send
ing their reports,) there was only paid
into the treasury the sum of SlS,3l250
that being ihe sum embraced in the Oc-
tober apportionment.
The Comptroller does not "appor-
ton" what is due. but only the amount
actually paid into the treasury. The
fault seems TO be three-fold, to-wit: In
the County Courts, in being too liberal
in allowing for the poll tax and final
lly, in the people themselves, in not
promptly paying tho tax. We trust the
fact brought to light in this paragraph
which demonstrates how our public
schools are deprived of their just funds
will serve as an additional stimulous
to our incoming Legislature, to cure tho
many defects in our tax.collcciing sys-

ed and said "you can have all the rain you
want, all is working WE'LL" and before the
setting sun, the rain commenced in earnest,
the heavens were opened, waters poured
down in torrents, lasting several days, de-
stroying the mud materials, and walls of
the building. The storm was without
parallel, at this season of the year. For
weeks previous to that event as usual
it was dry and hot, no clouds appearing, no
signs of rain, and when the rain had fully
abated, and all was clear and fine, the Rain
God sent messenger to the superintendent
wishing to be informed when he would like

Normal schools

The sweeping away of the board of edu-
cation has not made much change with
these schools. The time of their existence
is extended to Aug. l, 1880, and the APP
preparation to them is not changed. 1t
was very evident that the legislature had
no intention of going back on the policy of
the state as to the special education of
teachers. In this connection it may be
said that the duties of town superintendent
remain substantially the same as before.
We believe they hold an annual meeting
in each county, in March, to agree on a
list of questions for examination Of teach
ers. The state superintendent is not, how
ever, by the new law required to meet with
the superintennets it being thought that
the time required could be spent in other
work to better advantage. freeman.

Hallway Ercigiits.

On Wednesday, a report appeared in the
GLOBE on railway freights. The Boston
Journal thus comments on the subject, un-
der the head of 'railroad uncertainties.
1t appears from the report of the commit.
tee of the New England railway superin-
tendents on the cost of moving freight
which We have just published, that the
whole subject is yet involved in uncertain
ty. The elaborate tables, therefore, and
the confident statements on the subject, to
which the reading public have been treated
from time to time, are bu. little better than
mere guesswork So long as freight and
passengers are carried together or the two
are carried separately over the same road,
definite information on the point cannot be
obtained. 1t is possible, indeed, that the
exact distance of the sun from the earth,
or the true sources of the Nile, may be de-
termined before this simple railroad problem
is settled. The report of the committee re-
ferred to, emanating as it does from such
unquestionablc authority, renders timely
service to the community by revealing at
least the extent of our ignorance, thus pro-
viding good background for marking the
progress of whatever enlightenment may
be secured hereafter. Most of the obser-
vations of the committee, also, are conclu-
sive at first sight; excepting, possibly, their
| inference as to the moderate rate of cur
rent railroad compensation, from the fact
that the ratio of gross receipts to net re-
| ceipts, in some instances, is much greater
| now than ii was formerly. This is the rulo
of business growth generally. If A. L.
Stewards net receipts were as largely pro
portioned to his gross receipts as those of
a country storekeeper, he would have
rolled up double and treble his present for
tune. A great and prosperous concern,
railroad or otherwise, can afford to do bu-
siness with a less percentage of profit than
a new one. 1t is not the question, there
fore, how the Boston and Providence road s
account stands in this respect, as compared
with its former experience but how the
receipts of similarly situated enterprises at
different periods will compare.
