The Road Laws.
Editors Indicator:

Editors Indicator:
Considerable attention is being called at
present to our system of working roads,
especially in view of the proposed changes
in the road law.
We fear that the day IS far distant when
the people of Augusta will see the propri-
ETY. and economy of having their roads
contracted out under the supervision of an
experienced road engineer, unless indeed,
they will visit and travel through some of
the States where this system exists, and
see its benefits. The condition of the
roads this winter, and the great expense OF
keeping horses, may lead our farmers and
teamsteIs to ask if with better roads they
could not dispense with some of their hor-
Sos, ami at the same time do more work,
with lsss wear and tear of teams and wag-
OlS.
The present road-law, if properly en-
forced, is about as good an one in its gen
eral provisions as we can expect under
our antlquated system OF road WORKING
There are, however, one or two improve
ments which might be made:
1st. Allow fair compensation to the
surveyor for overseeing the road. Now he
receives nothing and yet is held accounta-
BILE for the condition of his road. He feels
it hardship to be complained OF to the
authorities for not doing properly work
for which he receives no pay.
I'd. A much larger per centage should
be allowed constables for collecting fines.
| The fine is now rs cents per day or 81 so
for two days-the usual time for which
hands are summoned at any one working.
! The costs, no per cent? are then added
making $l65. Half Of these costs 60 to
| the surveyor to be accounted for by him
| and half to the constable, thus leaving the
I officer about eight cents. while he has Of
ten to ride quite distance or go several
times to collect single fine. Constables
will not collect road fines if they can avoid
| it. When road hands find that they es.
cape the penalty for not working, they will
not turn out. The best laws on earth are
a dead letter and worse than useless, un
less properly enforced.
| A great deal of complaint is made OF the
present road law in that it compels men who
keep neither horse nor wagon, to assist in
keeping the roads in repair. Aside fron
the benefit which many Of them derive
from having road for their wood, -four
&C., to be hauled over, it must be remem
bered that they who own horses and wag
ons pay tax on each and every one O.
them and are entitled to road to run
them over. With like propriety, objection
might be made to paying tax for public
schools on the part Of citizens who have
no children to educate.

The pruriency of the public curiosity

The pruriency of the public curiosity
received an illustration in London, Eng.
January 22d. A hideously indecent ex-
preston was interpolated by printer in
the London ''Times's" report of Sir Will
liam Harcourt's speech, and when the fact
next day got abroad some people paid as
high as SIS for copy of the paper. Twen-
ty printers and two proof readers were dis
charged by the ''Times" on account Of the
occurrence. Some Of the low weekly pa
pers reprinted the report verbatim to in
increase their sales and sold thousands.

The following extract from the Alexan-
dria 'Gazette' shows that the great ques-
ton now is, not how much Mr.. Farr. the
new Superintendent, will do for the Public
Schools, but how much the Public Schools
can do for him:
As some doubts have been expressed as

appear: "WEDNESDAY" looses' for loses.

some others, which, owing to the charac-
ter of the chirography, are doubtful.

foundly acquainted with all the crooks
and turns of the Virginia indebtedness,
and is man that the party needs. He
did as much to elect Cameron as any man
in the State. The combination against
him, in its greed for patronage, has taken
an untenable position. There is some
thing so ignoble in this scramble that the
Readjusters will lose entirely thing that
they cannot afford to lose-the respect and
sympathy of the Republicans. They are
making serious blunder, and they should
lose no time in correcting it," We think We
are safe however, in assuring our Repub
lican contemporaries that the blunder Will
not be corrected. 1t might be if the Re-
adjuster party ran itself, but that is not
the case, and Gen. Malone will drag it
with him though mistakes enough to alien
ate every thinking friend it has before he
will surrender his absolute power over it.

The shower of letters and resolutions

The shower of letters and resolutions
from counties denouncing Parson Massey,
that the Richmond Wing" IS publishing,
must bring a smile to the veteran cam
paigner who runs that paper even as he

you can get them at ten cents string

a number of gentlemen in the said district

is not appended to the circular. He was

heavy load to carry.

Guiteau's counsel, Mr.. Scoville, has
motion for a new trial pending IN the
court. and at the same time, as we learn
from the Alexandria 'sGazette," is nego-

execution for $4,000.
When Guiteau, returning from court the
day of his conviction, ahghted from the
prison van his pale and haggard face indi-
Gated great depression, mingled with anx-
iety and fear. The Jail officials remarked
that he was more depressed than at any

Going into the Warden's office he
