A bill is before the Legislature provid-
ing for what is called GA metropolitan
police for Warren county. This bill, if
it becomes law, will cost the Tax-pay-
ers of this county at least s150,000 per
annum. If there were any probability
ofits passage, we might be prompted to
particularize and portray its monstrous
provisions. But it cannot be necessary,
and it is irksome to argue that black is
not white, or that the devil is not saint
Why representative of Warren county
should have insulted his constituents by
introducing such a chill of abomination, ;"
we are at loss to understand.

MISSISSIPPPS BURTHEN.
Facts Eand Figures for the Taxpayers
Showing the Increase Of Taxes and
Cost of the State Government.

The Legislature proceeds slowly with
its reform work while the yoke weighs
heavier and heavier on the necks of the
over-burdened taxpayers.
Nearly month of the session is gone !;
from $50, 900 to SIS, 800 have been ex-
pended, but very little in the way
of substantial relief has been afforded.
Let US again refresh the memories of
those who are entrusted with the solemn
duty of curtailing expenditures, by a pre-
sentation of facts and figures showing the
former rate of taxation and the cost of
former administrations, and contrasting
, them with the expenses of the present
regime. These exhibitions of what
has been done in the past, will serve
as finger boards for the guidance of Leg
islators in the present and in the future );
and the comparative statements will
speak in .thunder-tones of the wrongs
which the people have endured at the
hands of those who since the era of re-
construction, have had control of their
!. State affairs
The figures are from official sources
and their correctness will not be ques-
toned

While this increase of tax has been
progressing, the value of all kinds of

fallen from 25@35 cents per 1b, to

Defeat of Another Malignant.


FLom the n Y. Tribune.
The election of Gov. A. S. Paddock, as
United States Senator from Nebraska, is
another evidence that the independence
shown of late in popular elections, is
working its way into Legislatures. Gen.
Thayer was the regular nominee of the
Republicans, and was the favorite of the
Administration. His defeat was secured
by coalition between the Independent
Republicans and Democrats. Thus King
Caucus and the Administration receive
another severe blow, and we have reason
to believe Nebraska secures a good SEN
ator.

without process or notice, the shipper had

WANTED TO KNOw.-We love TO seek for in
formation, especially upon subjects which have
been accepted matters of faith for centuries.
1t may be that slightly skeptical: when
the only foundation for accepted facts is tradi-
ton, OF perhaps fiction. Tomorrow (Narch
26tl) is Good Friday, the anniversary of the cru
cifxion of Christ; and Sunday, the 2Sth, is East
er, the anniversary of his resurrection. Now, if
Christ was crucified, (and we do not doubt it, }
the event occurred OH one specific day of Ger
tain month. and each anniversary thereafter
would be OH the same day of the same month.
Good Friday, the year that Lincoln was assass-
mated. came on the 14th of April, and Easter on
the 10th of April. Now, if Christ crucifictl
on the 14th of April, and rose from the tomb OH
the 10th, how can it he that these anniversaries,
the next year, will come on the middle of March,
and the next, almost the last of April, merely
because the moon changes different days' If
Lincoln was assassinated on the l4th of April,
there is no sense in saying that the anniversary
of the event, this year, is the 26th of March. Or,
if the Declaration of Independence was signed
on the 4th of July, the anniversary one year
would not occur the middle of June, aud the
next, the beginning of the dog days, simply be-
cause the moon would full before OF after anoth-
er certain day that had no connection with tile
event. But there would be just as much COM
mon sense in it as in the Good Friday and Easter
business. But ten chances TO one, when We do
get the desired information, it will be to the ef-
feet that some Pope or other arranged the
matter.

TIRE CENsUs.-The duty will devolve upon
Township Trustees, this Spring, of taking the
census, in connection with making the assess
ment. We would like to call their particular
attention to this matter. Heretofore, in order to
get through with their work, they have done
this part of it very loosely and imperfsctly. But
this year, it is of more Importance than at any
time heretofore. DOniphan County, according
to her vote, has not far from 1900 inhabitants;
yet the last Township census return foots mp on
ly about Il, 900. The State will be appOrtioned
for members of the Legislature, upon the census
TO be taken this Spring; and if Doniphan Coun-
ty wishes to maintain a fair share of influence in
the State, it is necessary that a careful and full
enumeration he made. Under the new law reg
ulating salaries of County officers, they are paid
according to the population of the County. The
officers of DoniPhau County are compelled to do
the work for a population of 1900, while, on
account of the imperfect census, they are. paid
only for population of 10000 This is very i'm
portant to the officers, and deprives them of fair
compensation for their labor. The Attorney
General decides that Trustees hayothe right to
employ assistants, if necessary, in order to pre-
pare their work thoroughly in the time prescrib-
ed by law. They should employ all necessary as
