ed upon to choose q County Judge for
the full term of four years commence
ing on the first Monday of January,

the important duties devolving upon
an incumbent of this office. Tie
County Judge occupies a responsible
position, and a keen disceinment
should be exercised by the people in
their selection of this officer. W e feel

BILE consideration of the electors Of

Land, where there is a public highway
running through the same are COM
PEELED to pay taxes on the whole
amount rs real estate, as though there
was no road there, and also, road
tax besides! Is it right to compel a
person to pay for what he does not
cetl And are not lot owners in VIII
lagos exempt, and only pay tax on each
lot? We suppose of course, that they
pay highway tax, but do not think
they pay double tax. This it seems
to us is a manifest injustice to owners
of lands outside of villages.
Answer.-A person owning an

the title but still holds it subject to a

therefore must be taxed on his whole

before has there been so many wealthy
men in the Senate of the United States;
and in the nature of things, almost
every one of these men is more or less
interested in the money making sue

batch of Senators elected this winter
there is an astonishing percentage OF
men who represent wealth of this and
other kinds, and who do not not repre-

troll the best legal talent in the land.
With large sums of money constantly

one denies the corporations the right

they are pretty firmly intrenched an |
