made liable for the payment OF any debts
of her husband or OF any other
person unless she has agreed to pay the
same by some contract in writing, signed
by her, or by some one authorized py
her.
II. The above rules all apply to

held under the 3rd section Of chapter %
of the Code of West Virginia, except;
First-She holds the legal instead OF the
mere equitable estate. Second - she
can devise such real estate. Third
Whether, il living with her husband,

II. A separate estate, under the third

pressed to be for her sole and separate
use.

Ii is plain 10 see where all this will
land the city. Ii the present high
salaries are continued, and the streets
and alleys cost US from $4,000 to So
900 year, as they did during years in
the recent past, before the terms of the
present Councilman expire the city will
be again Over-cheCked, or she will owe
floating debt OF 100000, to be provided
Tor in another loan.
In addition To this consideration, the
city has no right to make the water
works a source Of proft-the income to
be used in the payment OF her ordinary
expenses. Beyond the actual ex-
penses OF the water works them
selves, all else collected belongs
OF right 10 a sinking fund with which to
erect additional works in the near future.
We ask CounCilmen-members Of the
First Branch-to pause and reflect upon
these facts hastily thrown together. We
ask them 10 consider carefully the in
come and absolutely necessary expenses
OF the city; to consider the great reduc-
ton in the cost Of liying-the great re-
duction made by all corporate bodies,
firms and individuals in the employ
ment Of similar labor, and then give
heed TO the recommendations OF the
Committee on Salaries presented 10 the
Second branch last Friday night.
y reduction OF ten per cent. was there
in recommended. That the proposed
reduction is just, no one can have the
face 10 deny. This would make a saw
ing Of some 5000; and it would not be
difficult to point out wherein this reduc-
ton might be justly doubled.
The attention Of the people has al
ready been awakened 10 the layyy increase
in the expenses Of the city, proposed by
the Second Branch o. the City Council.
II is to be hoped that this branch will
reconsider its action upon this point.
II il does not, it will find il hard to JUS
tiiy its act.

cry EXPENSES.

Everything, except taxes and the
salaries of public officers, is much less
costly than a few years ago. Living
is not much, il any, more than nan as
expensive. The salaries Of officers and
clerks Of banks all through this city, oil
salesmen, book-keepers and employees
generally. of mechanics and day labor
ers have all been cut down heavily
And whyP For a twO-fold reason,
viz: first, the condition of business Is
not such as to justify the employer IN
having the wages which were obtained
during the time of inflated prices; sec
ond a man can live on much less than
he could then, and can, therefore, afford
to work cheaper.
One of two things is inevitable: either
the city paid her officers niggardly sal
aries, and was basely unjust to them a
few wears ago, or, she is paying them
exorbitart salaries, and is grossly unjust
to the over-burdened tax-Pay-
er now. And in view
OF the fact that pubic
officers are getting much more for their
labor than other persons receive Tor
similar labor, we are compelled to be
lieve the latter proposition to be true.
Can the city afford this waste? Let
Us see. From the published statement
of the financial condition OF the city,
as officially presented by Clerk UP
DEGRArF, we gather the following;
LIABILITIES.

OUR HAMPSHIRE COUNTY LET
TER.

We publish in this days edition,
communication from Hampshire cor
respondent, relative to the amendments
to the school law OF the State, which will
be read with interest as expressing
teachers views upon the changes. There
is one portion of his letter, however,
which might convey an erroneous I'M
preston, If allowed to pass without COM
ment, viz, that part in relation to nor
NAL diplomas. 1t is true, as he says,
that Boards Of Education may require
the holders of normal diplomas to sub
nit to an examination, il in their judg-
ment it be necessary, but no fee shall be
charged for such examination. Another
part of this section reads: Diplomas
granted to students of the normal school
department OF the several normal
schools of this State, as provided in the
eighty-eighth section OF this chapter,
shall be accepted as a certificate OF quail
ifcation to teach common schools
throughout the State" thus respecting
the Solemn agreement made with those
parties" And such diploma shall be
ranked with a number one county GER
tificate. And our correspondent admits
the reason in this examination when he
says: at must be admitted that gradu-
ates of the normal schools are, in many
instances, the most inferior of teachers"

A CLERGYMAN of this city, re-
Gently delivered a lecture setting forth
the necessity of every man exercising
his right as citizen at the ballot box.
The lecture, which was an able and in
teresting one, was published in the REG
IsrER and attracted much attention.
And now a plan TO compel citizens to
exercise the common duties OF citizen
ship has been devised by a Missouri
man, single handed and alone. He has
taken his invention before the Legisla-
ture of his State and got it in the shape
of a bill, which provides that "any citi-
zen who shall fail to exercise his privi-
elecuOns snan Ue ueemed gulty OF a
misdemeanor, fined $50, DISTINGUISHED
and be declared thereafter ineligible to
office, said fine to be paid into the school
fund" This man has not very high
appreciation of things comic, nor the
slightest idea that he has perpetrated q
joke. In the first discussion of his bill
his eyes will be opened to the ridicu-
lousness Of his proposition.

THE LICENSE QUEsTIoN To-
NIGHT.

The question OF granting coffee house
license is the only one, now that the
gas reduction problem is settled, that is
likely TO stir up a controversy In the
Firstbranch of Council. Several"modern
innovations" which are, however, but
the strict letter OF the law, have been
introduced on this subject and will
probably be adhered to. The most i'm
portant of these is the requiring OF
certificate of good character from the ap-
plicant. He must be of sober and tenn
perate habits and keep an orderly house.
This is strictly enjoined by an act oil
the LEGISLATURE of 1877. Another re-
ouirement is that the City Solicitor ex-
anime and approve the bond, it having
been claimed that many former ones
were utterly void and useless, and suit
could not have been brought upon them.
Members of this branch have
declared their intention of refusing a
license to any person who has been
convicted of violation Of the city liquor
ordinance, and for use in cases OF this
kind. the Solicitor, in compliance with
instructions, has furnished a list of COZ
tee house keepers who have been so
convicted during the past year.
Ii the vote upon several applications
for transfer licenses, heretofore made,
can be considered test, this Branch Is
inclined to be unusually strict and care
full in granting this privilege. Several
influential members are prominent tenn
perancc men, and while they have ex-
pressed themselves as willing to vote for
licenses in proper cases where the law
has been rigidly complied with, will make
it a point to ferret out every loophole
and weakspot. On the other hand,
there are members who may be classed
as friends of the liquor men and who
will vote for licenses, except in cases oil
the most glaring violation OF the law.
With these facts in view, an interest
ing session OF the Upper House may be
expected tonight, should this question
come up. The mention of license is
sufficient to bring both sides up in arms
ready for the fray, and there is enough
ability in each to make contest warm
and interesting.

Two thousand colored people are
canped out near Wyandotte, Kansas,
dying at the rate of one in thirty, while
waiting for the Government to present
them with l60 acres of land, carriages,
horses, clothes and cigars, as promised
by the agents of the Republican party
in Mississippi and Louisiana. The
Mayor of Wyandotte has issued pro-
clamation forbidding steamboatmen to
land any more INDECENT negroes in that
town. The Kansas people are becom-
ing alarmed at the prospect of their
State being overrun by these helpless
and ignorant plantation hands. Their
Radicalism is vanishing before this
strong argument at their very doors.
