The Amendments.

Those who desired the Conservative parry
to make a fight for the proposed amend
mcu.s to the Constitution will doubtless be
surprised to learn that thore are two sides to
the question. Read the following paragraphs
from the Valley Yirginian
1--WE presented last week figures to show
that in Augusta the expenses OF administer
ing The slfIrs of the county urder the Pre-.
sent state Constitution were less bv 81
Oh 50 than under the old Constitution, eX'
Guiding the district and township levy Tor
public free schools.
"Be careful to ill up the blank on the
election ticket with the word against the
amendment to the Constitution, anu thus
prevent any interference vita the free
schools of the State.
"In voting against the amendment to the
Constitution you preserve the present sys-
TEN of county government, which saves the
county of Augusta near five thousand dol
lars each year.
Every vote cast 'for' the amendments
to the Constitution is vote TO restrict the
rights and privileges of the people, and divest
them of the powers to regulate their own
aftirS.
owe have heretofore shown that under
the present system tie expenses Of Augusta
county are near ttue thousand dollars less
than under the old system, and unless it is
the desire of the people to abolish the public
tree-schoolS it is to their interest to prevent
the adoption of the amendments. We are
thus brought to the question directly, Is the
free-school system to be abolished Are the
I he people prepared to say that the system is
failure, and that they wish to retarn to the
old method ofeducaticn, by which hundreds
and thousands Of the poor children
OF the State were brought up in igno-
rance, increasing crime, and flooding our
prisons and poor-hcusee IF the present
System is less expensive than that under the
old Constitution. leaving out the SCHOOL, levy.
what other reason can be assigned in sup
port of the amendments except q purpose
to dispense with the schcol-taX, and thus
| destroy the systenf There is none; and, as
| we have heretofore arsu d, il the people
| will allow themselves to be Geluded into the
adoption of these amendments, thus direSt.
ing themselves of the power to exercise 4
| supervision over the conduct vi many Of the
public servants, il will not be long before
tne-public.schoCl provision Of the State Con
sttutlon will be voted out, just as it is pro-
posed TO strike out other provisions looking
| to the recognition of tue rights and prlyl'
! legcs of the masses"
