Mr.. MONTGOMERY scarcely needed
to make reply to the attempt in the
Eranainer to mislead the public upon the
issue between himself and the county
commissioners. Whether they shall
have accumulated one OF two hundred
thousand dollars of surplus by April 1,
1884 for the payment of debt not yet due,
does not alter the fact that the levy of a
three mill tax last year was unnecessary,
and q renewal of it this year was the
unwise imposition of needless burden
upon the taxpayers. But Mr.. Montgom
cry plainly exposes the fallacy of the
attempt to contradict his figures by
showing the falsity of the statement that
when the board of which he was member
went out of Office there was only enough
money in the treasury and outstanding
taxes to run the county until the new
tax came in. The county treasurer in
his annual statement charges himself
with $17 ,36l. 20 cash on hand and over
$90, 900 outstanding taxes when he came
in, total of over $115,OOO, which the
commissioners will hardly pretend is not
In far excess of the demands of the
county from January l to May l..
Moreover, Mr.. Montgomery in this con.
troversy has even underestimated the
resources of the commissioners, since, in
addition to the collection of county
tax, there goes into the county treas
ury some eight or ten thousand of state
tax, making grand total raised for
county purposes, at three mill rate, of
$275, 900, and, (allowing S215,OOO as the
outside figure for expenses, commissions
and exonerations), this leaves surplus
of $4,000 which is an unnecessary
burden upon the taxpayers, and which,
accumulated for two years and added 70
rdN surplus on hand When they went in,
should give the present board surplus
on hand by the first of April, 1884, very
far in excess of any public necessity.

The Dead wise,s Sister.

ho Earl of Dalhousie, presenting his
nf1iments to the American press, de-
5Eoo ID journals to publish his letter of
nqufEy to the governors of American
61ntm, with regard to the influence upon
ltlic morals and social life of the toler-
lnce BY law in this country of the mar
x1aee OF q man with his deceased
Nife'G sister. He is moved to this
saystem Of interrogation, because the
question in point has been in controversy
81 England for long time and the op.
ponsnts Of the legalization of marriage
With deceased wife's sister in the
united kingdom are fond of referring to
AmGrica as illustrating in marked de-
kree the baneful evils which it is alleged
must follow il these marriages are recog
nised as legal" As an example of this,
: be cites letter from an American cler-
Ryman, published abroad, in which it is
nasrated that the fraternal relations of
husbands to their wives sisters here
have greatly changed since these in.
noyations " were introduced.
It was, of course, a natural error in a
foreigner 10 apply to the governors of
10d6 States for information of social and
religious character, upon which many
specialists and observers in other than
political spheres would be better able to
give him reliable and intelligent answer
But from almost any quarter, we con.
csive, that he would be likely to get a
uniform reply upon question that has
really never disturbed social or religious
circles in this country. In England the
increasing agitation of the subject has
steadily developed more friends for the
repeal of the present restriction, until in
The last effort to pass the bill to legalize
marriage with a deceased wife's sister
tho measure received 12S votes to only
ls2 against it; and when persons
OF the social status of HOl
man Hunt and Robert Buchanan
brave the law and illustrate the principle
asked to be established, popular senti.
ment is advanced to the support of it.
It is certainly not fair observation that
Nany social evil has resulted in this country
from the legal federation of such mar
riages nor that by reason of it children
have learned to look with apprehension
on their mothers sisters. and the wives
become jealous of their influence with
their husbands. For each of such ex
amples cited, or that of dying wife
agonizing over the prospect of her hus
band marrying her attractive sister, a
score might be produced of the tender
and blameless care of sister and aunt
for the family of motherless children
and of the solace and comfort of dying
mothers in the assurance that sisterly
affection would minister without feal
of reproach to desOlated households.
It was the observation of MIR. Thack-
cray and his delight that social life ir
America was as pure as in England
and it will not be polluted in the Older
country by legalizing marriage with the
deceased wife's sister, if the effect there
to be Judged from the results here.

THE government has started out to

deeds of the intrepid men who fought
SO gallantly upon her decks, is in no way

Should the children of Methodists bo
Methodists !; and should they be instructed
and indoctrinated in that form of church
polity known as Methodism? Will the
children of Methodists be Methodists and
are they now being or are they likely to

that are at the very base Of our religious
life? Character Is to . great ex-

WHAT WILL AFFECT PRESIDENTIAL
AsPIRANTs.-- Some very interesting
and very intricate political calculations
have been upset by the behavior of New
York, Connecticut and Virginia in the
recent elections. Democratic statesman
whose easy confidence that the two States
first mentioned would vote to let the ras-
Gals in had led them to believe that their
party could win next year with any kind
of candidate, are visible sobered, and
from this time on we may expect to see a
gradual thinning out of the somewhat
crowded ranks of Democratic aspirants
for the Presidential nomination. Now that
it can be foreseen that there will be an
aetna, race, and not 'walk-over," gen.
tlemen who are too heavily handicapped
with questionable records or red flannel
will be quietly scratched On the
Republican side, too, brisk revision of
campaign plans is evidently going on.
But we fear that the change will make
business less brisk and life perceptibly
duller during the coming year in North
Carolina and Florida .--Ner York Times.
