Harris mississippi Brigade. Army

n. o. Democrat, 10Th.
We have recently had the pleasure OF
meeting in New Orleans two Of our old army
companions, Gen. Matt Harris and Capt.
Holland T. Coffee, of Mississippi. The
meeting of these two gallant gentlemen calls
to mind an incident which occurred at the
battle of Spottsylvania. Harris Mississippi
brigade had suffered terribly; IN fact 1t had
been cut all to pieces; but 1t never waYered.
So heavy was the fire which it had sustained,
that Just in rear of one of It's regiments an
oak tree eighteen inches IN diameter mad
been actually cut down by minnie balls. 1t
was in the very crisis of the battle; Gen.
Matt Harris gathered the colors of regl-
ment. the color sergeant of which had been
shot down. and sprang upon the breastWorks;

The Revenue Law which we publish to-
day requires the assessor to give at least
three weeks notice in newspaper, and when
there is nonewspaper, in five public places in
each Supervisors District; he shall visit
each district at least twice, and remain one
day each time, keeping his office open from
ga N. to 2. NJ. Any taxpayer may, how
ever, make return of his taxable property
to the Tax Assessor, or his deputy, at any
time or wherever he may be found, before
the first day OF May in each year. The list
must embrace all taxable property of which
he was possessed on the drst day Of Janu-
airy, in his own right, or in the right of his
wife, or as executor, guardian, administra-
tor, trustee or otherwise.
The present law does not contemplate the
use Of tax lists in book form. 1t is made
the duty of taxpayers to attend at a certain
time, and place in each Supervisors Dis
trict, when blanks are distributed, and each
taxpayer Is required to fill the same, acih
ink, and swear to the same before the Asses
sof, except in the case of non-reaidents, fe-
males, or persons unable, by reason of any
infirnity or disability, TO attend the APP
poin 5ments of the Assessor In such cases,
the list may be sworn to before any person
authorized TO administer an oath.

Reduction Of Salaries.

A meeting Of the Board of Trustees OF
the Mississippi State Lunatic Asylum was
held on the 10Th instant, for the purpose OF
reducing the salaries ard wages OF officers
and employees of chat institution Inc
amount taken off ranged from to 70 per
cent.
The honorable gentlemen of the Board
applied the Mod Of retrenchment ia the
shape of % per cent. to the attendants (and
to them only) whose wages were ABOUT a.
reasonable as could be expected, taking into
consideration the amount Of labor eXacted
of them: while others, whose services are
certainly no more important, were only re-
'duced from to 10 per cent
This mode of retrcnchment may be very
GOOD. but it is not just. ItloOks too pitiably
one-sided, and does not contain equity
enough, even Tor az average Republican
way of doing business. Why this unjust
discrimination, gentlemen? Let justice be
done though the heavens should fail

The E..ahlic SCHOOL System.

Prof Gathright, Superintendent of Pub
lie Education, has addressed circular
letter to the superintendent of the several
counties, which is so timely and to the point
that we have transferred it to our columns
as good reading for the public at large. The
Legislature in this in every other matter
in the line of economy and reform, has not
only maintained the pledges made in refer
ence to the public school system, but took
measures to increase its efficiency by ex-
tending the school term, and by the cor
rection of abuses which had begun to make
the system odious and oppressive to the
people. Under the present law, teachers
will work for less, and children will get
more time nj school.

the act regulating the times OF holding the
