The Missouri Legislature proposes to
try novel plan to keep within bounds
the practice of carrying concealed weap-
ons. A bill now pending in that body
imposes 3 license tax Of 5000 year

or other deadly weapon, and makes it
misdemeanor TO carry arms without
having taken out the required license.

FREE SCHOOLS.

Dir. Editor-I have read with inter
oct and care the various communications
in yours and other papers published in
this county, on this question, and must
confess that am forced to surrender
mv former convictions which were in
their favor, but which l find were based
upon sentiment, and not on reason or
Justice; following the justice of the prin-
ciple of taxing the people TO educate
childres would justify the clothing CT
them; for I have known instances where
children are not sent to school because
the parent said they had not clothing
good enough The same line of reas-
oning might apply to the diet. Besides,
l see other evils that might loom up; if
legislature has the power to authorize
a tax to be levied for common free
sched purposes, where is the limit that
YOU could fix to IL? Could they not
alse tx the curriculum at a very high
standard This then would suit two
classes &C the expense of the third: first,
the very poor, who seldom pay any tax,
ana the bondholder who reyels in his
wealth and also pays no tax. The az
riculturis,s and property-holders of this
S;se. and especially OF this county, owe
ror and John III. Strider, Esq, debt
~ Gratitude for your bold aud fearless
assault on this unjust system. When
the people are all equally taxed, and are
required 70 pay that tax, and then
choose to vote to further tax themselves
for school purposes, that may be all
right; but when l can vote to tax al,
other, and pay no tax myself, then that
is unjust MORE ANON.

Of revolution in a traditional sehti-

woman is one of the FIRST duties q man
owes to himself and society. First,
however. one should be sure that the

When Chelmsford had prepared this ultima
