The suggested increase in tho whisky tax,
which the President and the Secretary of the
Treasury have mentioned with approval, as
one means to increase the different Federal
revenues, calls out some diversity OF views
among wholesale dealers and rectifers in this
city. No one hints that higher tax would
help the temperance cause at all. Some
think that it would raise the number of IL
lict stills. Others believe that the suggested
increase is hardly largo enough to Incite ex-
tensVe frauds.

Tie Kellogg party in the Louisiana House
of Representatives seem on the brink OF
surrender. Their admissions, as stated in our
telegiams to-day, fully sustain the position of
the Conservatives as to the legal organization
of the Legislature before the military inter-
fered, and the illegality of the body now sit
ting under the gavel of Mr.. Hahn. Batif the
proposed compromise is effected. what will
become of the learned and labOred arguments
by Northern Administration organs against
the claims of Speaker Wiltzf
New-York tribune., 1875-01-28

Mr.. Thurman's speech in tho Senate yestcr-
day was hardly needed to make apparent TO
the country the sins of the Administration ID
the management of the Louisiana case, and
we caunot hope that it will convince Senators
who are determined to sustain the Admins
tration, right or wrong. But as history OF
the troubles in Louisiana, this speech has the
merit of strict truthfulness as well as rare
concispness, and is altogether one of the best
discussions of the subject from legal point
of view.

The Moral Effects Of Hurry.

To the thoughtful the moral conse-
quences tension and hurry are every
saddening, to the physician their
physical results are matter Of pro-
found concern, for their grave evils
come under his daily observation.
No evolution Of force can take place
with undue rapidity without damage
to the machine IN wich the transfor-
nation is effected. Express railway
stock has 4 much shorter term of use
than that reserved for slower traffic.
The law is universal, that intensity
and duration Of action are invcrsely
proportional. It is therefore no mat
ter ofsurprise to find the human ner-
vous system is no exception TO the
law. The higher salubrity Of rural
over urban life is not entirely mat
ter Of fresh air and exercise. Rural
life involves leisure and pause in work
which arc very essential to the mainte-
nance of the nervous system in state
Of true nutrition. Unremitting spasm
soon ceases altogether. The high
tension Of life produces weakness at
the very place where strength is most
needed. The damage done to health

munity, the best trained thinkers.
most useful workers is incalculablc.
Work and worry, though not proper
tional, arc closely connected, and an
excess of the former soon entails an
increase in the latter beyond the linn
it's which the nervous system can bear
with impunity, especially, under the
conditions under which work has to
be done. The machinery for organ

be rigid and inflexible and in the

MooDY's ILLUsTRAr1oNs.-An illus

that the law after it has created the
consciousness Of sin cannot cleanse
the sinner, is pronounced by writer
in the English Independent very ef-
fective. He had promised his boy
ride in carriage, but the little
fellow, after having been suitably
dressed, had soiled his clothes fright
fully. "When Mr.. Moody arrived"

Suggestions for our County, Board
of Examiners.

The following resolutions have
been adopted by the board Of exam
iners for Williamsburg county, and
were promulgated for the benefit of
the township trustees, as it is desired
thata general system shall prevail
in the county. We hope the board
Of examiners of this county will not
hesitate TO avail themselves of some
of the practical suggestions therein
offered:
I. That full school shall consist of
not less than % pupils.
N,,,That when a school is established
containing less than the number provided
for in section l, the pay proper of tile
b.: 5sae's' shall 's reduced in p'opo'''o"'
s8 l. That when the number of pupils
sssfio not exceed 10, deduction of one-iifth
sglthe teachers salary shall be made.
mot exceed 15 a deduction of two-ffths
-sfne teachers salary shall be made.
Ills That the. trustees shall not estab-
lisli any school where the attendance
does not Consist Of fifteen scholars,
". That the true intent and meaning
Of the proceeding section is not intended
for the monthly average attendance OF
scholars, hut must be bona tide daily
attendance of that number.
v. That before establishing schools
the trustees shall give notice to the
school commissioner, so as. to avoid the
creation of more SCHOOLS than there are
funds to compensate teachers.
VI That under no consideration shall
the trustees go ouside of the regular
grade pay i'll the employment of teachers
that Is, the pay as now provided by
resolution of the State board of educa-
tion.

FOLLY AND PRIDE.-The very witty
and sarcastic Rev. Sydney Smith
thus discourseth on the folly of pride
in such creature as man:
':After ali, take soIne quiet, sober

two ideas Of pride and of man; be-

stalking through infinite space in all
the grandeur Of littleness. Perched

the coldness Of death his soul floats
from his body like melody from the
string day and night, as dust Oh the
wheel, he is rolled along the heavens,
through a labyrinth Of worlds, and
all the creations Of God arc flaming
above and beneath. Is this a crea-
ture to make himself q crown of
glory, to deny his own flesh, to mock
ut his fellow, sprung from that dust
to which both will soon return

me to visit young man who was
