n There seems to be general i'm
preston among the members of town
text book committees of this county,
that the law which requires the print
ing and distribution of copies of their
report containing the list Of text books
selected by them TO oil the families in
their respective towns, allows only one
dollar per hundred copies for the print
Ing and distribution of the same. This
impression is erroneous, and hardly
complimentary to the common sense of
our legislators. who, it must be pre-
sumed, could not have overlooked the
fact that distribution through the mails,
which is the cheapest method, would
cost just one dollar per hundred copies,
leaving nothing to pay for printing and
the time spent in mailing, if the view
above referred TO were correct. The
sixth section of the "Act 10 prevent the
too frequent change of text books in the
common schools" which is the ONE
authorizing this printing, is as follows
The town superintendent shall, dur.
ing the month of August, on or before
the first day of which the text book
committee are required to file their re-
port with the town or city clerk, pro
cure the printing and distribution OF
copies of said report of the text book
committee to all the families in the
town, and charge for the printing OF
the same in his account as town super
intendent, not to exceed one dollar per
hundred copies.
1t will be seen that there is only o
limitation placed upon the charge which
the town superintendent is allowed to
mako for the printing of the reports
The law places no restriction upon his
charging also for postage and the labor
OF mailing, or for the cost of any other
mode Of distribution which he may see
fit TO adopt. 1t will Of course be the
duty Of the state auditor to see that the
charge for the cost of distribution Il
kept within reasonable limits. Town
superintendents can 90 ahead and gel
their printing done in good style, the
sum allowed them being ample to cover
the cost.

On Monday last, the preliminary
hearing was concluded and Judge Has
seltop gave his decision, which is as
follows:
The case, 80 far as tho claim for con-
viction extends, covers the dates March
10, 1875, to September, 1877. Other
testimony of events ontside those dates
of course only tends to fix the reponsi-
bility. The first question is whether
there has been any defalcation at all
Mr.. Hatch's thorough investigation
showed, however, beyond doubt, that
there was $4,000 collected here which
was never credited at st. Adams. AS
to the responsibility, the testimony of
Mr.. Appleton and the clerks that they
never took any of the money is entitled
to no weight over the respondent that
he took mono OF it. Mr.. Paige had sub
stanhally tho sole duty of transmitting
money TO st. Adams. He had been
doing this for some years before this
through freight came into the office.
There had been no defalcation in these
years. Mr.. Paige knew that large
sums of money were coming into the
office. and ON the theory of his inno-
cence 1t must be proved hew he trans
mitted all the money to st. Adams and
this wac sufficient only to balance the
station account. Tho question Is, IL he
was innocent, how could he fail to
know that large sums of money were
being taken, unless, indeed, proper
he was innocent, l don't see why he
could not have known that some one
else was taking money from the safe or
not putting II In. Tho only avenue of
escape for Mr.. Paige from criminal re-
sponsibility, 1t seems to me, Is that sug-
gested by him in his own testimony
the system of housekeeping at st. Adams.
The receiving clerk at ST. Adams must
have known as well as Mr.. Paigc that
the reports from the Burlington Office
were defective. The defalcation Is TO

when once it has attached its sting in
the flesh of human or an animal.
"The action of the sting" says Paley,
ttaffords an example of the union of
chemistry and mechanism; of chemis-
try, in respect to the venom which can
produce such powerful effects; of
mechanism, as the sting is compound
instrument. The machinery would be
comparatively useless, had it not been
for the chemical process by which, in
the insects body, honey is converted
into poison and on the other hand,
the poison would have been Intellectual
without an instrument to wound and
a syringe to inject it," An exceedingly
fine needle being examined at the same
time of the sting appeared like rough
iron bar out of a smiths forge; the
sting showed polish that was ex-
ceedingly beautiful, without the least
flaw, blemish or inequality, and ended
in point too fine to be discerned.
If bee, in defense Of it's home and
sacred treasures stored therein, looses
it's sting, it parts with part of It's in
testines, and of a necessity dies, and
deems life itself to vengeance well re-
signed,
Dies on the wound and leaves their sting

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

We learn from a private source that
our friend Judge VIM. H. Seay, of
Caddo parish, will be a candidate be-
fore the Baton Rouge Convention for
Attorney General. Were we men,
Der of that honorable body the motion
would receive d hearty sanction.
Judge Seay Was a distinguished law
yer at Alexandra for many years. In
1872 he lead the Democracy of the
Rapides DistrIc ct and was chosen Judge,
but the mathematics of the Returning
Board made different result and the
Judge went back to his books. In
1aza- lie ~ca1 3 within one vote of the
nomination for Congress in the 4th
District. AS lawyer the Judge stands
at the head of the profession, and as an
advocate he is regarded as second to
none.
We know Judge Seay we'll and
would gladly see the Democracy fit
tingly acknowledge his talents and
services.
A stranger would think in looking
over the residences and returns of cleo
tion that there was a constitutional
provision for the lower portion of the
State to take the offices and the North
ern portion to keep up the party and
do the voting. We do not know why
1t is, but, Judge, it is so, and while we
wish you well we have little hope of
your success.
