From the Courier Journai-B
To-day was County Court day and
large crowd assembled as usual on our
court day. At 10 o'clcci Hon. Oscar Tur-
ncr drove in from Calvert City 1t was
an agreeable SURF rise to his numerous
friends, rs no notice had beer received
here of his arrival in the district. He
was warmly greeted by the people who
crowded around him. Our County Judg e
gave up the Court house, and on the an
nouncement that he would address the
people, they soon filed the court room,
He stated that he was on his route home
from Washington and came out from Gals
vert City TO see his old friends, who had
always supported him and to whom he
was under SO many obligations.
lie then went into review Of the
course OF the Republican party during the
last session of Congress.
lie then showed TO the sstifaction of
every one that The call for convention
by seven committeemen did not emanate
from the Democracy, not even from q sim
gle county. He denounced il as bare
faced trick OF his personal enemies, who
knew they could not beat him before
the Democracy. lie said he had offered
TO submit his claims 10 a primary cleo
tion, where every Democrat could have
voted bis sentiments; but that did not
suit the clique, who wanted to rule and
dictate TO the masses of the Democracy,
aud he demonstrated that there was nc
necessity for a convention; that his ma
jorities had been from Z, 900 to 5000 over
the Republican candidate in every race
for Congress, that too when there were
two Democrats on the track, and in the
last race his majority was more than 5000
over the Republican nominee and over
ZOO over Maj. Tice, Democrat. lie
then returned his thanks to the Democra-
cy and closed. Col. TurAer was applaud
ed by the large crowd. Mr.. Truiit then
stepped upon the platform and said the
committee had ordered convention and
he wanted 10 give notice that a mass con.
vention would be held to appoint dele
gates. Many old Democrats shouted they
would have nothing TO do with it. Col
Turner said DC was glad the subject wsa
mentioned, that he Was willing to abide
the decision or the Democrats present. He
then requ esied every one present who
believed he ought TO submit his claims to
the convention ordered by the ring to say
aye and there was not q single one in
favor OF il. He the n said all wbo believed
that he ought not 10 submit, and that tbs
convention was unnecessary, would say
"No." and there was . universal shout oil
no from the crowd.

worth Dying For.

Tam no teller of stories, says Hazlitt,
yet there is one belonging to Burleigh
House, of which I happened to know
some Of the particulars. The late Earl
Of Exeter was divorced from his wife, q
woman of fashion and of somewhat more
gnyefy of manners than "loros who love
their ladies'" like. BE determined to
seek asecond in an humble sphere Of life,
and that it should be one who, having no
knowledge Of his rank, should love him
for himself alone. For this purpose he
went and settled fncognito, under the
name of Mr. Jones, at Hornet, an OBJ
overtures to one or two damsels in the
nsighborhood, but they were too know
ing to be taken in by him His manners
were not boorish. his mode of life was re-
tired; it was odd how he got HIS hveli-
hood; and at last he began to be thought
highwayman. In this dilemma he
turned 10 Miss Higgins, the eldest daugh-
ter OF q small farmer at whose house he
lodged. Miss Higgins, it would seem,
had not been used to romping with the
village clowns; there was something In
the manner Of their quiet. but eccentric
guest which she liked Having inspired
her with a kind of regard which he
wished for, he made honorable proposals
70 her, and at the end Of some months
they were married, without his letting
her know who he was. They set of In g
postchaise from her fathers house and
travelled agoss the country. In this
manner they arrived at Stamford, and
passed through the town without stop
ping, until they came TO the entrance TO
burleigh Park, which Is on the outside
n It The gates few open, and the
cheA-e drove down the long avenue Of

The s.,stse Rivers.

faducan
The River and Harbor bill outrage APP
propriates $500 for the improvement
OF Trade W ater-I South Kentuekidn
And why should the River and Harbor
bill be denounced as an "ontrage" be-
cause it appro PIRATES $4,000 for Tradewa-
ter river? Until recently. like our friend
OF the Kentuckian, we had doubts as to
the claims of Tfndewater TO the fosterinc
care Of the Government; but an old steam
boatman in Paducah has resolved our
doubts.
The river rises in North Christian
county. and continuing between Caldwell
and Hopkins counties, passes nearly
through the center OF Union county and
empties into the Ohio. 1t is extremely
sinuous in its course. aud it's length is
some $50 miles, rs miles Of which is sus-
cepiible Of navigation and 10 navigated
by small steamers.
II passes through the richest section Of
the Western Kentucky eoaifeid, and
through forests OF the finest timber in
the West. The soil on either hand is rich,
and its agricultural productions-corn,
wheat, hay and tobacco-are unsurpassed
in volume or quality by any region of
equal ex tent in the State.
In all these respects il fills the measure
of those streams that come under the fos-
tering care of the Government through
out the Union; and we know of no better
object for which money is appropriated,
than in The improvement of all the navi-
gable rivers Of the Union.
The amount Appropriated for such pur-
poses is small. the improvement perma-
nent, and the benefit to the general CON-
mercial interests OF the country lasting
and valuable.
We read Of very many public buildings
that have been and continue to be erected
by the Government at various points all
over the Union. The sums appropriated
for these buildings reach from $50. 900
for the smallest TO some times millions of
dollars for the largest in the large cities,
and a single word Of condemnation is sell
dom heard about the expenditure. Nor is
this wrong. They are correctly consider
cd as beneficial TO the Government and
appropriate obj ects OF expenditure
And ret the small sum appropriated fer
the Improvement Of such rivers as Trade
water will do ten times more good for the
business interests OF tbs couhtry, snd es-
pecialty for che agricultural iuterest--the
most important Of all interests--thnn any
ten OF these public buildings which cost .
hundred thousand dollars each.
Appropriation bills containing features
Of this character, IL occurs 10 ~, ought TO
meet the applause Of all men who live in
agricultural regions. Heaven knows
that the agricultural interest has never
distressed the liberaliiy of the Govern
msnt, and we feel greatly delighted when
ever we read of word spokea or an act
performed la it's favor.

The School Tax-Ops0tOn of the
Attorney EeRermt.

OFETCB OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,
FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 6. lS62.-Hca. F.
d. Pickett, Superintendent of Public IA
strEetioF-DEAR SIR: Your communica-
ton requesting my construction of the
late school law, approved May 8, 1882, has
been received.
First--The question in relation 10 the
constitutionality of the act is cns only TO
be determined by the courts and not BY
the executive and ministerial officers of
the State, whose duty 1t is TO carry out its
provisions.
Second-The preamble declares that the
purpose of the act is TO make the "per-
capita" of white aud colored pupil chill
dren the same, and that tax Of two cent
on the 500 is sutficie ut for that purpose.
The first section then enacts that the
two cents 10 be levied, etc, and further
provides when the same shall be eollsct
ed, that il shall be plsoed TO the credit of
the common school fund OF the State, aud
thst the entire fund shsu then be for the
benefit OF both the white and the eolared
pupil children Of the State. Sect en- three
then provides th,t the act shail mol take
effect until ratified by vote of the peo-
pie, etc, and the remainder OF the act, in
describing how The Sste shall be taken and
the tax collected, substitstes <he word
three lot wv. Aaluc iEOtu Tue IeClhhlS IL
the preamble, clearly the main question
and the cantrolling idea Is embodied in
tire fret section, which is that two cent.
be levied and imposed, and when collect
ed, be added 10 the common-school fund
10 which fund the white and the colored
pupil children shall be entitled in tho
same proportion
No construction of the act a. whole
incon sistent with this governing idea ant
intent is admissible. I am, therefore, o.
the opinion that only two cents was in
tended 10 he or can be collected.
Third-The declared intent and purpose
Of this act being 10 give TO the colored
pnpil children equal benefits and sdYan
tages with the white children in the com.
mon school fund of the State (providi e
however, separate schools for each), the
| general school law should be so construed
and carried out rs to efiectnaie this enc
/ and purpose.
Very respectfully,
p w. HARDIN,
| Attorney General.
