The bill of Mr.. Yellott, of Balti-
more county, amending the act of
1868 in regard to the publication of
the laws, has for its object the cutting
down of the great expense now at
tending such publication. The law
provides that in cases where laws are
passed to take effect upon the date of
their passage, the laws shall be pub
lished Immediately. The practice is
to publish them as a supplement
after the adjournment of the Legis-
lature, at a cost to the State of about
100000. Democratic county papers
receive from 81 200 to 81, 500 apiece
for what they would be glad to take
$500 for, if the matter was presented
to them in regular course of business.
Mr.. YellotG's bill has not yet been
drawn, but it proposes to allow a
fixed amouNt to the county papers
greatly below what they have been in
the habit of charging. The bill is
similar in character to measures
brought forward at.pve vious sessions,
and which have always been de-
feated.

Vice President King of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, had a con-
ference with the finance committee
of the Maryland Senate Wednesday,
of last week in relation to the pro-
posed settlement of the issues be-
tween the State and therailroad com
company. The conference was a
private ono. The Gazette's cores
pendent says:
Mr.. King made a brief statement
of the affairs of the company, and
said if the State persisted in pushing
its claim for 81, 100000 the company
would be very much embarrassed to
meet it. He thought it advisable for
tie State not to do so, as her finan-
cial interests in it might be i'm
paired. He also urged that the COM
pany be hereafter exempted from

TO THE ROAD SUPERVISORS
Of Garrett County:
GENTLEMEN :


Reposing special confidence
in your honesty and ability to perform the
several duties to which we have appointed
you, and with a view to having the road
affairs managed to the best interests of the
tax payers, we call your attention to the fol-
lowing rules as laid down for your govern
ment
LIST. You will work out 85 per cent.
of the money in your hands, when
it is good weather for that purpose,
in the months of JUNE or JULY,
leaving 10 per cent. for the purpo Q
OF removing distractions and clear
ing out culverts and water courses.
so as to prevent the roads from being
washed from the fall and winter
rains.
I'd. In working the roads we adj
vie that, MS far as practicable, you
will give those tax payers who reside
i'll your districts an opportunity to
work with you in order to tighten
the burden of'their taxes provided,
always, that they are willing to give
a good and honest days work. so
that the county may receive an
equivalent for its money expended.
Sd. You will. in all eases, where
the abutterS have put their fences in
the roads, to the damage of said
roads, leaving less than fifteen feet
from the centre of the travelled road,
notify said abutters to set their fences
back to the line required by law, and
should any one refuse to do 50. report
the same to this Board.
4th. We expect that where you
employ boys, or men that are not
competent to do q full days work,
that you will regulate their wages in
proportion to their ability to per-
form the service.
5th. The reason for issuing these
rules must be obvious TO you as well
as the whole community, who have
heard in past years SO many COM
plants, whether justly or not,) on
all the subjects above mentioned.

the Commissioners have to give a
great number of books to poor chill
dren free Of charge, and that this ex-
ira price Is put I'M to con. pansate for
Them" This | deny. Books are
not given away-they are only loan
ed-and the teacher loaning them is
responsible for their return in this
district during the past session, ten
old books were loaned to poor chill
dren and when the school closed they
were all promptly returned by the
teachers to the agent.
Ii these books are to be given to
poor children would it not be better
to have them charged directly to the
school expenses Of the county than
to subject this additional tax on the
parents of other pupils perhaps
equally as poor-but who take pride
IN probably denying themselves
some of the necessities of life rather
than he the recipients o charity.
The position of School Commits
sloner is one of honor, to which no
pay is attached. We. our present in
cunbents appear to be DESTROYS of
holding on as long as possible. They
are perfectly aware of the proposed
change in the law and have already
held meeting at Annapolis to coun-
teract the efforts of the people, as the

all the School Commissioners of the
various counties will show.

BRO. CASSIDY ON THE SITUATION.

We find the following in the Eureka Senti-
mel of Jan. 3:
We yesterday received the following dis
patch from three holdover State Senators
whose names are appended
Virginia City, Jan. 4, 1873
To Geo. W. assidy-Eureka: No Gov
ernor or Lieutenant Governor III the State
Taxes too high. Convene the Legislature
and reduce them
| Westerfield,
| Shultz,
| Stone
| Not if we can help it. We don't propose
to take any Cronin chances on our nose. Be
Sides the people of the State are bitterly
| opposed to low taxes. We tried to reduce
| them last winter, and have been abused for
it ever since. The great ma jority of tax pay
ers are enthusiastically in favor of cinching
| themselves if they can only cinch the mining
companies at the same time. So Jealous are
they in this regard that they even talk of his
Excellency, Governor Bradley, for third
term. We have no disposition to deprive
them of the pleasure of contributing two
dollars to the support Of the State when one
would answer the purpose. If Mr.. Sharon
will telegraph us his resignation, either of you
can become United States Senator, but your
petition for an extra session of the Leg sla-
ture, for the reason stated is firmly denied.
Bro. Cassidy has a very terse and vigorous
way of stating things. He comes straight at
the mark. His irony reveals the real facts of
the case We are convinced that bIr.
Hobart S figures are correct At all events,
until they are lo'uted they must stand as
solid argument in favor Of an extra session of
the Legislature and the passage of bill re
ducing the present rate of taxation If, in
order to Withstand the purposes Of the great
mine owners Governor Bradley declines to
convene the Legislature, it seems to US that
he is pursuing course which is at once in
furious to the people and damaging to him
self and his party. That is sadly false
policy which seeks to Cypress any class, We
believe the rich have rights which are as
sacred as those belonging to the poor In the
case under consideration the rich and poor
must be made to suffer alike-the latter for
the sins OF the former if, indeed, the rich
ka1a snnod at all. And here let lis say to
Governor Bradley that when his friends are
heard announcing the Legislature as pack
Of thieves whom the State cannot afford to
have brought together, they are inviting
course of personal criticism which it were
better not to provoke. This is a question Of
public policy and not a merely personal mat
ter; and the ways and ends If wisdom demand
that it be treated as from the higher and bet
ter standards
