Water Tax-Isit Adyisa BILE ?

To the Editors Of the Independent:
IL is the duty of all good citizens
to take an active interest in munich
pal affairs, and discuss fairly and i'm
partially the best method to advance
the material interests of the town. OF
course there will inevitably be a diff
ference of opinion, because men look
at things from different standpoints,
and therefore reach different conclu-
sions; but by an interchange of ideas
great good may be accomplished.
| desire TO bring to the attention
of my fellow citizens project for
them to think over and discuss in
the hope of beneficial results. The
town is i'm debt to the amount of
one hundred thousand dollars. The
annual interest on this is eight thou
sand dollars. The most of the debt
was caused by the erection of water
works, and it was hoped that con-
siderable portion of it would be paid
by rent arising from the use of water.
But from this source at present only
about two thousand dollars is now
received per annum. Whilst every
property-holder receives protection
against fire, yet every property holder
is not a consumer of the water, and
therefore contributes nothing as a
water rent or tax. True his property
Is taxable TO pay off the indebted
ness, but if it takes all the taxes to
pay interest, all street and other inn
provements must cease, and still the
amount of the Indebtedness be re-
duced but little. Now in order to
equalize the matter and TO distribute
this blessing fairly and equitably,
would it not be better TO furnish the
water free TO every person who will
put in the pipe, and charge a water
tax upon the taxable property. Let
property-holders then insist upon a
reduction OF insurance rates, and
apply that reduction TO the pay
ment OF the water tax as it should
be. BY this means from four to six
thousand dollars per year could be
raised, end every housekeeper enjoy
the water. This would enable the
corporate authorities TO establish
free MIGRANTS in remote parts of the
town. There are other arguments
in favor of this idea, but | will con-
tent myself with these suggestions,
and invite the opinion of others upon
the subject.

THE STORM.

The storm which prevailed here
Tuesday night, seems to have
been much more terrific in other
places.
In Washington city the spire of
the Metropolitan Methodist church,
built by Mr.. Kelso, of Baltimore, was
moved from its base and tottered in
the wind all day long. The pastor
DR.. Newman, sought advice from
engineers, and workmen succeed
ed in protecting the steeple with
strong guys. An entire row Of
houses on Rhode Island avenue, be-
tween Seventh and Eight streets
northwest, were unrooofed, and the
roof of the coast survey building on
New Jersey avenue was also carried
away. Although the destruction to
property has been great no serious
accidents are reported.
In Frederick, Nd, the greastest
CONSERVATION prevailed among the
citizens, many of them leaving their
bedrooms and preparing even to
leave their houses. The church
steeple of the Episcopal Church was
blown down, falling upon the Central
National bank, breaking in the roof
of the building. Roofs Of houses and
stables in different sections of the
city were blown off and carried sew
eral squares by the wind. Fences
gates and blinds were torn
away, and hundreds of windows
broken. The hurricane extended
throughout the county barns and
gable ends of houses are reported to
have been blown down. The dam
age to the Episcopal church is esti-
mated at over twenty-five hundred
dollars.
In Baltimore numbers of houses
were unroofed land much other dam
age done to property throughout the
CITY.

In the narrowist limits compatible
with the just administration of its
affairs, and so the House of Rep
resentatives declared by an almost
unanimous vote in the earlier part
OF the session. To commence their
labors there, with such an appro-
priation as this, is to open the
fiood-gates of boundless expendi-
tu-e to perpetuate a system
which is now crushing the indus
tries of the country, and every
where extorting groans from an
overtaxed and overburdened peo-
pie.
SIxTHLY. There was the most
satisfactory evidence that large
portion OF the best business men
in Pennsylvania, looked with dis
favor and distrust upon this APP
preparation by Congress, believing
that IL would fall into the hands
of ring there who would expend
IL as lavishly and wastefully as
such government gifts of money
are usually expended (; and so
strong was the impression that
five of the members Of Congress
from Pennsylvania voted against
the bill, although the money was
10 60 TO their own state.
/ have thus, Messrs. Editors,
very briefly assigned some of the
reasons which, no doubt, moved
our Representatives to vcteagainst
that bill, and he is perfectly will
ling that your readers, having
your structures and his explana-
tons before them, may decide
upon the propriety of his vote.

ing the winter months on account
Of impossible county roads.
Would Il not be well for the peo-
pie of this county 1.-THE court would
appoint q Committee to ride over
the County roads and procure
plans and specifications 10 i'm
prove them ? Ii would be of more
benefit to the Changers and the
town Of Martinsburg than new
Jail. With a little repair the old
Jail would hold all the poor devils
who commit crime, and a new
one won't held the rich ones.
Instead OF the Court loihg
something TO improve our roads,
| am tod they have taken the
back taxes of the Ii. A o. II. r..
that was levied for road purposes
and appropriated II for school pur-
poses. What right they have to
do this know not. Can you tell,
Messrs. Editors ? The law says
when the County Court decided to
levy tar for road purposes, ''such
tax shall be lien on the real and
personal property on which IL Is
imposed In like manner and effect
as county taxes, and shall be col
lected by the sheriff La the same
manner as county taxes are col
Iected and accounted for, ii shall
constitute a road fund to be ex-
pended on the order Of the County
Court, In the district in which IL
may be collected, in the construc-
tion and repair OF the roads and
bridges therein.n The law says
these back taxes should be applied
to roads and bridges the Court
says we will apply Ii to school
purposes. Now which Is the high
er law, the County Court or the
Legislature ? / hold that the Leg
islature is, and that neither the
County Court nor the Sheriff
have the right to take the back
taxes levied every year since 1866
for road purposes and apply 1t to
school purposes, simply because
they could not be collected until
now.

Crowds from our city continue
to visit Portsmouth for the pur
pose of viewing the "lady and
child" In one of the windows OF
DIR. Billsoly's residence, ON High
and Winwiddle street, and which
for some weeks has been the SEN
sation in our sister city. There is
no question or doubt as to the rep
resentatioh and it is worth a visit
People from all sections of the sur
rounding country, and strangers
arriving on the various steamship
and railroad lines who stop over
for anytime, are sure to call. AT
all hours of the day crowd is
present. In company with other
members of the press we made our
call and viewed the spectacle. 1t
represents the head and bust of a
female, with a child resting on her
shoulder. Her features are dis
tinct, perfect, and somewhat beau
tiful, reminding one of faces seen
in court pictures of the last CEN
fury, the hair arranged to q Ia
Ponlpddolir. The features of the
child are not so distinct. Through
the kind invitation of DIR. BilisOly
we entered his retidence to in
spect, and from the inside not a
trace of the figures was perceptible,

pearing the cleanest of all others

OUR RIGHTS AND DUTY.

We have been considerably amused
of late at the hubbub our edito-
rails, defensive or our rights, though
aggressive in character, created. We
have heretofore shown great patience
and forbearance under the CAD of a
brutal and beastly parsonage. Week
after week, month after month, and
year after year, have we quietly SUBJ
mitted and patiently endured this
abuse, and have even stood by hum.
bly, and allowed our friends to be vii
lifted, simply because they were our
friends. There comes point when
forbearance ceases to be virtue
We win permit it no longer. We
will treat gentlemen as gentlemen,
-blackguards as blackguards, and
when ruffian attacks us we will do
our level best in our defence. We
have obeyed the Scriptural injunc-
ton of turning the other cheek until
the tortured flesh causes us so strike
back like men, and see what an ear
nest following of those other CON-
mands, can eye for an eye, tooth
for a TOOTH" or a blow for blow
will avail. We have never sought
quarrels. We absolutely detest and
abher them; but when forced upon
upon us by continued insults, there is
a limit where the end is. That limit
has been reached.
One or two persons threaten to
stop their paper if the quarrel isn't
stopped, yet these same persons have
paid for a paper containing abuse of
us for years without stopping it. Now
what measure we mete out to us mete
out to others. Put this down now in
the record of events: we will not be
the first to commence abuse or quar-
rel, or the first to cry out " hold !
enough!'' We have omitted many
things for peace's sake without
avail. Religion through the epithet
Of ga praying partner" has been
scoffed at /; the Methodist Church
been sneered at; "Farrin from Cork
has been insulted; a brothers. bust
ness been struck at as the "Hotel de
Antique )" the quiet and gentleman
ly agent of the B. Il o. Railroad
eauselessly maligned, and ourselves
designated as the hired tools of that
Company; sneak radical, stool pi-
geon," and disgusting epithets in
endless variety, not necessary to re-
peat have been tauntingly flung at
us persistently and and increasingly.
Still the moralists said nothing until
the INDEPENDENT in its duty to the
people in maintenance of its honor
and its character, buckled ON its ar
NOR and threw down the gauntlet to
the maligners. Now we have ex-
hausted all patience in the hope that
malice would wear out by sileuce,
but it would not, and now if it is not
stopped we will exhaust every re-
source, physically and financially,
but that it shall be ended.
A man might permit us to villify
him for a short time, but human ma
ture will not stand persistent abuse.

creed in religion, nor divinity con-

Centennial Appropriation.

To the Editors Of The Independent:
Having respect for your opin-
ions upon public measures, / will
ask your permission to explain
very briefly what / presume were
the leading motives which Undue
ed Mr.. Faulkner, our Representa-
tive in Congress, to vote against
the appropriation of a million ana
a half of dollars to aid the joint
stock company in the approaching
Philadelphia Centennial EXPOSE
ton.
In the first place, 1t cannot be
ascribed to any hostility upon his
part to the great objects and pur-
poses of that enterprise. Mr..
Faulkner is himself one of the
stockholders in that company
Mrs. Faulkner has been for near
two years the Representative of
West Virginia i'm the Women's
Executive Committee, and both
have been earnest and diligent In
diffusing the most favorable inn
pressions of that exposition, and
in promoting its advancement.
Mr.. Faulkner's speech at Point
Pleasant contains in a portion of
it an earnest appeal TO West Vir-
ginia to take her proper share in
that exhibition. In truth, the
whole enterprise commenced with
the distinct declaration that its
contributors were to come exclu-
siyely from states and individuals,
and not from the Federal Govern
ment. Such professed to be the
great glory of the undertaking,
and in every law passed by Con-
gress from 1870 to the present ses-
sion, there was an express dis
claimer upon the face of the law
that any pecuniary aid would be
asked for or expected from Con-
gress.
The reasons, then, which may
fairly be presumed to have influen
ced our Representive were these :
FIRST. There was no evidence
before that the aid of the Federal
Government was necessary to the
successful completion of the enter
prise.
SECONDLY, The appeal to Con-
gress for pecuniary aid was in vio-
lation of all the pledges which
had been given from the origin of
the undertaking "that they would
not ask any su h aid"
THIRDLY. The constitutional
power ofCongress ia give this mil
lion and half dollars TO a joint
stock company to be expressed By
it according to its discretion and
pleasure, was very seriously doubt
ed and denied. No similar prece-
dent can be found in our history,
as liberal and latitudinous as the
powers of Congress has heretofore
been construed.
FoURTHLY. 1t being a c0ntrihu-
ton to joint stock company, it
was in every sense a subsidy; and
Mr.. Faulkner had in his address
before he was elected to Congress,
used this expression 81 am OPP
posed to all contracts, subsidies, and
private loans made under the au-
thority of Congress" A vote in
favor of that bill, would have been
in violation of his pledge or de-
claration TO his constituents.
FIFTHLY. This Congress assem-
bled with express instructions to
many, and with the implied in
structions to all, to reduce the ex.

We respect the rights of every per-

any person, and if we should ignor-
antly do SO, it gives us pleasure to
make speedy correction, but with all
this we know our rights, and be the
consequences what they may, it is
