was visited in his Office, and his opinion
asked upon the following questions:
FIrst.-The Taxing District government
was formed to avoid, not evade, the debt;
don't you think we had better 60 on so, and
leave the debt settlement to the thirty-three-
and-a-third commissioners appointed for that
purpose?
Second-Don't you think we ought to CON-
plete our sanitary work and pave the streets
before anything else?
Third-Do you think Memphis is in con-
dition to assume the payment OF $4,000 or
$4,000 annually, in addition to what she is
paying, and pave her streets and complete
the needed sanitary work?
To which the judge replied:
without undertaking to give a catsgori-
cal answer to your questions, which assume
greater degree OF familiarity with the al
fairs OF the Taxing District than l possess.
/ have no hesitation to say that am opposed
to any action by the Legislative council OF
the District looking to the acceptance or rat
ifcation of the late act on the subject OF the
settlement of the city debt In the first place,
the act contains distinct recognition of the
Taxing District as the successor OF the eX-
tinct municipality of the city of Memphis.
This recognition goes beyond the decision OF
the Supreme Court, which holds the District
to be the successor of the city to a certain
extent, and for certain purposes only. This
act declares the DlStrlCt TO De lne SUCCESSOR
of the city generally, and without restriction
or qualification. Ii the District should ac-
cept and ratify the act, and any considerable
number of the creditors should then refuse
to fund their debt, it might probably turn out
that the courts would hold that the Dis
trict as the successor of the city possesses
all the powers of taxation formerly enjoyed
by the city-and is subject TO the same liza
bility to writs of mandamus to compel the
levy of taxes to pay the debt without any
abatement. 1t is not unreasonable TO suppose
that this process will be resorted to and the
question fully tested, before any considerable
amount of debt will be funded, if the act
should be adopted.
"But further, 1 am inclined TO think that the
act is null and uoid as it stands, and tha! its
acceptance irould Only produce confusion and
embarrassment. The last section prorides that
the act shall not take effect until ten days after
acceptance and ratification. This refers the ques-
tion ghether the act shall ever take effect as law
to the decision Of the Tuning District. This
seems to me 10 be delegation Of Legislative polCer,
and therefore wholy pugdtory. / am strongly
persuaded that this sort Of legislation cannot be
upheld, and that no pdlioity can be impaired TO
the act By The acceptance of IL by our local Iegis-
LatiUe body. The attempt to ratgy the act pW
surely be met By this question, and litigation lciH
be the immediate result
"For these reasons, not TO go into Others, 1
think it tVotd be insoise in public authorities
to undertake TO accept or ratify the present act"

Ell DORADO CANYON, Nov. 20, 1882.
Mr.. Blair's trip to FL Dorado seems to
have impressed him rather favorably.
He says Cronan has some very good
mines. The chief and only drawback to
the camp at present appears to be in their
lack of facilities for getting wood. The
Southwestern Company has gathered
nearly all to be had on Cottonwood Is
land, and hereafter will have to procure
from the Mohave Desert, just below the
fort, where live mosquito and drift wood
are said to abound in immense quantities.
The only discouraging feature about get
ting wood from this source is the expense
attending its transportation up the river,
which will necesstate the building OF q
boat for that purpose, else the employ.
ment, as usual, of the steamer, which can
come up only at certain stages OF the
river, which occur in the spring and fall
of the year. The custom at the Fife
mill has been to gather an armfnl OF drift
wood, drop the stamps few times, swing
the pan around time or two, and hang
up. Mr.. Fife at last tired of this modus
operandi and determined upon a change
Of programme. He had heard estray
stories from time to time about great in
ducements in the wood line, just how fan
no one seemed to know, above Stones
Ferry. MIR. Fife very sensibly proposed
to find out, and after journey Of about
eighty miles by boat and of two hundred
by land, he discovered thick forest O
nutpine, stretching back and along it
banks for miles, and all easily accessible
After the timber is cut into logs, thu
hauling and delivery into the river is de
scribed as being down a gradual slop
and over convenient bank. The ris
in the river will increase its passage dow
to boom which it is proposed to con
struct about mile above the mill. iron
whence it can be easily hauled to tn
wood yard. Enough has been done b.
way Of experiment to demonstrate tina
this is much the cheapest way to &c
!. their wood, besides it involves little NOR
than muscle.
, Mr.. Cronan, as well as the Southwest
ern Company, is carrying large stock {

mill and miners supplies, at prices Q
cheap as in Phoebe. May the Canyo

TRANSIT OF VENUs.-There are some
people still ignorant of the time of the
transit of Venus across the solar disc
takes place, notwithstanding the fire.
ouency with which it has been stated in
| the public prints. The interesting event,
| it may be again stated for the benefit OF
the uniformed, occurs on "Wednesday
next, the 9th instant. The Greenwich
mean times Of the principal phases of the
transit, as seen from the center OF the
earth, are as follows: External contact
at ingress, hr. Sc min. II Sec; internal
contact at ingress, hrs. IL min. 2 sec. /;
internal contact at egress, hrs. SO min.
81 sec. external contact at egress, hrs.
IA min. 43 sec. It will be observed,
from the foregoing, that the planet will
not be more than half way across the
suns disc at sunset. If the weather
should be clear, the transit may be OBJ

smoked glass, the planet appearing like
small speck on the glowing surface OF

Right Kind Of LegIsIatIon.

The kind of legislation which will
induce the building of more railroads
in West Virginia, is the kind that
will regulate rates of transportation,
The Kanawha Gazette, in noticing,
Speaker Wilson's bill, thus puts it,
"When the Atlantic & Northwes.
tern completes the gap between the
Richmond & Allegheny and Ohio
Central, q regulation of freight and
passenger tariff will occur that will
regulate, and that is more than will
ever be truthfnlly said of any bill

what others are Doing.

We see that the old town Of Wells
burg, is about to take a fresh start.
Some Of the adjoining vacant lands
have been laid off into town lots and
some Of the citizens are negotiating
with Pittsburgh iron men, and
Wheeling glass men, to induce them
to come to Wellsburg and start these
two branches Of business. 1t is pro-
posed 10 take stock and give these
parties a bonus for starting such en-.
terp:ises. Some effort Of this kind
Point Pleasant ought TO make. We
know that indifferent people FIRE.
quently say whenever it will pay to
build a railroador a manufacturing
establishment, that they will be
built. That is true, but they will
not always be built here or there, be-
cause this country is so vast that
these improvments are never compell-
ed to go to any certain spot, but in the
beginning are frequently moved many
miles by few dollars. Of course ii
cannot, with any sense Of right, be de-
manded or expected Of citizens who
have been fortunate and prudent
enough toacumulat money, that they
shall put il into business Of this kind
when they have no inclination to do
80, and yet it is not forgotten by the
people that individual prosperity is
always gathered from the communi-
ty, and it would not seem an unrea.
sonable feeling that they might hope
for general kind of benefit which
capital alone can induce. AS for
giving bonus for such improvement
or development as this the custom
has become too general and too sac-
cessful to need an argument in its
favor. The United States govern.
ment has thought it wise to give to
railroads bonus to induce their
building, and to give a bonus of a
section of land to each settler upon
government land. Some of the rich.
est and greatest cities and towns in
this country have started the founda.
ton Of their growth and wealth by
giving away part of what they had
in the start. 1t all comes back by
the increased opportunity to make
money which an increase of people
and business always brings, it comes
back by the increased comforts and
pleasures of living which cities have
over little towns and villages, and il
comes back many times over in actual
money, in the shape of taxes upon
the very Improvements themselves
If we do not make these kind of eff
forts other places will and this town
will remain what it has been for the
last hundred years, a sort of suburt
to Cornstalk's grave.

The Manufacture of Iron.

OF all the interests of the world,
the manufacturer Of iron is the most
important. There are times, it is
true, when it pays nothing, or less
than nothing. 1t has not yet been
three years since nails and other
products Of iron mills sold for less
than they cost, even the mills and
works themselves could be bought at
q sacrifice. This is simply some
thing that is incident to all invest
ments, and less damaging to iron
than almost any other, At present
the demand is SO great and the profits
SO satisfactory in manufactured iron
that the operators will not allow the
price to go higher, that is they will
not ask higher prices when they
could readily get them, because they
are doing well enough. This kind
OF prosperity will safely tide them
over the next depression that may
come. 1t is said that the city of
Pittsburgh has seventy miles of man.
afacturing interests, principally iron,
and yet her advantages to procure
coal and iron ores and her facilities
for conveying by water are not near
ly so good as are those Of Point Pleas.
ant The parties who will put some
money into the manufacturing ofiron
at this place, will do more for its
growth and real prosperity than the
building of the bridge and railroads
can do. Coal and timber, while ap-
p@rently inexhaustable, are being
rapidly used up, never to be restored;
iron is inexhaustible, indestructible,
ever advancing in ability and its
manufacture has always been a
guaranty OF prosperity to the place
which has engaged in it. The city
of Wheeling, in our own State, with.
out half of our agricultural richness
or shipping facilities to back her.
has grown VI by prosecuting this
industry. 6Amill will bring an
other, just as one railroad brings an.
other; the question is TO get the first
one.
