Ed. Independent:

ASo' I'ot ffcH0tUt.
With many others in this commun-
ity, your correspondent is very great
ly interested with regard to the
much mooted town library; and it is
to be hoped that some definite steps
may soon be taken to put the matter
in proper shape, SO the people will
properly understand and appreciate
the matter in it's various phases.
Among the questions to be consider
ed are those of cost and periodic ex-
penses to the town, andwhat proper
ton of the library of the late Chas.
James Faulkner can be secured under
the provisions of his will. In consid-
ering the first item as to the cost,
etc, the corporation, we take it, would
be compelled to pay out of it's funds
fully $1,000 in the purchase and fit
ting up of proper library building,
in addition to the $1,000 available
under Mr.. Faulkner's will; and sal
airy would have to be appropriated to
pay librarian, and incidentals would
have to be provided for. The second
proposition leads us to consider
what portion of the Faulkner library
is bequeathed for the purposes of a
town library. 1t merely the technical
books at the library proper, at Boyd
vile, and a little scattered miscellaney,
then the corporation would be com
PEELED to expend at least an additional
$1,000 to secure sufficient miscella-
neous works to make the institution
place of general interest. If the
will embraces the valuable library of
miscellaney at the residence also,
then the amount to be expended by
the town will be lessened considerably.
I append section IS" of the will, and
ask your opinion and construction of
it, so that the people may understand
the matter clearly.
Extract from the will of Hon. Chas.
James Faulkner:
6. | give to the Corporation of Martins
burg for the use of its citizens my entire
library, law and miscellaneous, provided
within three years of the date of MY death
the necessary means are Subscribed or pro-
cured for the erection of a suitable Library
Building for the use of the citizens of the
place, and to aid in that object | charge
my estate with "a subscription of one
thousand dollars. If no adequat arrange
ment is made within three years for such
a lot and building, then give to +. Boyd

In another column is communi-
cation headed "The Public Library
The author propounds a question to
the editor. The editor has been at
tending court most of the week at
Berkeley Springs and only returned
in time to glance at the proofs, but
aside from that, any opinion OF
ours would be but that of an indi-
vidual citizen. From that stand
point, looking at the section Of the
will as published and punctuated,
there are but two matters Of any inn
portance, viz How much library
part or all, and ssthe erection Of q
suitable library building. The first
is easily settled by the terms used !:
my entire library, law and miscella-
neous.n That means all, if the pure
English means anything, and this
view is strengthened by the alterna-
tive bequsat, giving the law books to
his sons and the miscellaneous library
to his eight children. AS to the suit
able building, the Executors, as q
matter of protection to themselves,
have already had that judicially CON
strued by Hon. w. H. Travers, sit
ting as special judge, who decided
that if building was provided with
in the time specified, the corporation
should appear in the ohancery pro-
ceedings, and if there determined
that the building was suitable, then
the legacy would vest, become oper-
alive, and the executors be perfectly
protected from any criticism as to the
suitableness of the building. Such
is the gist of this decision, given by
memory and not by reference to the
record We have endeavored to an
swer our correspondent fairly and
frankly.

PREVENT RASCALITY.

Some time ago we made an allu-
: sion to the deficit in the State School
Fund, amounting to over $4,000.
It is but right that the taxpayers
should know where their taxes are
going. In two years the fund has
been reduced over 40 per cent. The
rate of taxation for school purposes
has been the same, but the large in
crease in the valuation of property,
instead of increasing the School
Fund, has greatly diminished it. No
good man, be he Democrat or Re
publican, will sanction such q robbie
ry of the funds that educate his chill
dren. The Grafton Eagle has the
following truthful article in relation
thereto
estate Superintendent Morgan in
a letter admits that the fund for the
current year is $4,000 short. Last
year there was near 100000 of de-
ficiency as compared with the pre-
ceding year, making total short
age of $4,000 in two years, when it
should have been at least $4,000
larger by reason of the double bar
relied ASSIGNMENTS. There does not
seem to be any shortage for any 9th
er State purposes. Yet every man
pays all the taxes, charged on sim
gle receipt; if one be paid all must
be; they are not separated. The
truth is the school tax has been paid
into the State Treasury, and the
presumption is that it has been mis-
applied. This is not the first time
the school fund has been robbed to
supply the extravagances of the

BIRDS OF PREY.

Great parade has been made in a
home paper over the misfortune of
the Agricultural Association, and
the supposed trouble of the Boat
Excursion Company. We prepared
the original paper for the organiza-
ton of the agricultural company, at
the request of Jacob Ropp, now de-
ceased, and was the Secretary of the
Association until the last year of it's
existence, when for good and suffi-
cient reason we resigned. We were
not in at its close. The editor of
the paper referred to, was, with his
Hagerstown ally. We were not in
at the organization of the Boating
Company, but as an attorney pre-
pared papers necessary for its pro-
lection, which were recorded in West
Virginia and Maryland This act
on the part of the Company, was
just and honorable, for the reason
that whilst incorporated in West
Virginia, the Island and the bulk of
their assets was in the Potomac nv
er, within the jurisdiction of Mary
land. Hence every little claimant
could proceed to Maryland, take out
an attachment against the non-resi-
dent corporation and tie up their
property, thus placing the home or
West Virginia creditors at their
mercy. To prevent this and be fair
to all, q trust was made preventing
any preference. Thus all were pla-
ced on an equal footing. Now why
these vampires should seek to ex-
tract nutriment for ghostly carnival
from corpses ofpublic enterprise, is a
problem beyond human ken, and on
ly worthy of Satanic imps. Can it
bepossible, that the taste of blood at
one lynching can convert q person
into practical, incurable cannibal {?
1t would seem so. The Martinsburg
and Potomac Railroad Company
went into the hands Of the G. V. r.
Il. Co. The Shenandoah Valley II.
r. Co. is now in the hands of Re-
ceiver. John Roach's vast and CO.

for pnblic glory or private gloating?

prey are these in our midst who hunt
