HoE. RANDALL GIBSON, U. S. sena-
tor elect from Louisiana, says that the
Democratic party is committed by its
record in Congress to oppose a re-
duction of tariff on sugar. If the party
has made such record it isa bad one,
en.irely contradictory of its professions,
and the sooner it is reversed the better.
The tariff on sugar is about 90 per cent.
We would ike to know by what right
the lawmakers are compelling the con-
sumers of sugar to pay thirty cents
on every dollars worth they use
to enrich the producers Of that article.

We have always believed that those who
persisted in fastening on the pubic school

were not the true friends of the system.

expensive, thus doing injustice to the mass OF
the youth frequenting the schools and to the
tax PAYERS who support them. 1t can not be
too often repeated that the only true system
of common school education that will do jus
tice to the children and to the tax payers Is
one that will realize the fact that 9 thorough
instruction in the elementary branches OF an
English education is all that was ever intend

Barnesville is rapidly growing town,

railroads, for she possesses very many en-
terprising men-men who have the cap
ital to back them. She is blessed with
good roads (piked) leading north and

of manufacturing establishments, such

ries, and other industries, and now there
| is a project on foot for glass house
coal is in abundance and cheap; the To-
cation is high and healthy. The place
seems well stocked with dry goods
houses, groceries, and other business
concerns, yet they all appear to be doing
a good business. Runners find this
town to be a good tradestOwn. 1t is

POND LAW.
Letter from the Attorney General Re
garding the Duty of Assessors
\ this Year.

On the third of April the Auditor of
State sent out circular letter TO County
Auditors, which was approved by the
Attorney General. in which it was sta
ted that assessors for personal property
had no duty to perform under the Pond
law this year. The circular of the State
Auditor has been very generally mis-
construed as practically suspending the
operations Of the Pond law for one year
The Attorney General in response to a
letter from gentleman who took this
view of the subject, made the following
reply:
ATTORNEY GENERAL OEFICE, I
COLUMBUS, April 8, 1882.
DEAR SIR-The circular of the Audi
tor of State "does not practically sus
pend operations under the Poud law fol
q year." .ni.
The Pond law does not take effect un-
til the first day of May. Section 1928 OF
the Revised Statutes requires the Coun
ty Auditors to furnish to all Assessors
such blanks as are needed by them fol
for the listing of property, gathering anC
returning statistics and other officia
duties. Section 1856 in effect requires
the State Auditor to furnish to County
Auditors forms of returns and instruc
tions upon any subject effecting the
State finances. By virtue of these two
sections the State Auditor has for years
prepared and furnished the County Au.
ditors with Assessors Blanks. 1t is the
duty of CountysAu uditors, under section
2749 of the Revised Statutes to call the
Assessors together for instructions be.
fore the 10th of April. Immediately
thereafter the Assessors must commence
their work. The Auditor of State pre-
pared the Assessors blanks and sent
them out before the passage of the Pond
bill. There was not then, is not now
and will not be until the first of MAY,
any authority of law for including in
said blanks any of the forms required
by the Pond law.
Section Z of the Pond law requires
that the assessors shall return the names
of such persons as have been engaged in
the traffic in intoxicating liquors during
the year preceding the time of making
the assessment. The only object of this
requirement IS TO furnish the proper Of
fcers with information so that they may
ascertain whether those dealing in in
toxicating liquors during the preceding
year. paid their taxes.
We therefore concluded that the as
SCISSORS have no duty to perform under
the Pond law until. the assessment of
1888. This does not suspend the opera
tions of the other sections of the act.
Section provides that every person
engaged in the traffic in intoxicating Ii.
quors shall within thirty days after the
act takes effect, May 1st, 1882, pay into
the treasury of the proper county, tax.
Section provides that at the same time
he shall give bond. The mere fact
that the assessor has no duty to per-
form this year does not effect this obli-
cation upon the part of those dealing in
Intoxicating liquors. Very truly yours.
GEO. K. NASH,
Attorney-General.
