JEFFERSON ON PAPER MONEY,

II am sorry to see our loans begin at so eXhorbltant an interest. And yet even at that. you will soon be at the bottom of the loan-bag. We are an agricultural nation. Such an one employs it's sparings in the pur- chase, or improvement of land or stocks. The lendable money among them. is chietv that orphans and wards, in the hands of executors and guardians. and that which the farm CT lays by till he has enough for the purchase in view. In such a nation there k one and one only. resource Tor loans, sufficient to carry them through the expenses of Il war. that will always be sufficient. and in the power of an honest government. punctial in the preservation of its faith. The fund mean is the mass of circulating coin. Every one knows. that although not literally. it Is nearly true. that every paper dol lar emitted banishcs silver one from the circulation \ nation therefore, making its purchases and payments with bills fitted for circula- . tlon, thrusts an equal sum of coin out of circulation. .'-.Jefferson's < works, Vol. VI.

There is indeed q convenience in paper; it's easy transmission from one place to another. But this may be mainly supplied by bills of Ex- change, so as to prevent any great displacement of actual coin. Two places trading together balance their dealings, for the most part, by their mutual supplies. and the debtor in- dividuals of either may, instead of cash, remit the bills of those who are creditors in the same dealings: or may obtain them through some third place with which both have dealings. The eases would be rare where such bills could not he obtained either di- rectly or circuitouSly. and too unim- portant to the nation tu overweight the train of evils flowing from paper circulation.

MILTON.
". I. SIAPsoN

It is a Source of no small qualification to
the advocates of education, that the citizens
of Milton are beginning to see the impor-
lance of a more extended school term. It has
generally been the custom in previous years,
for a few persons of some importance, and
past prestage, whose children, by the way,
have arrived to mems and women's estate
to attend the school meetings for the only
purpose of voting against a school tax.
Happily this was not the case this year.
These people have undoubtedly become
more liberal in their views, OF are ashamed
of their past record. Be that as it may, in
South Milton there were none in attendance
who antagonized any movement brought be-
fore the meeting, looking to the raising Of a
larger amount, by tax than previously In
deed there was one representative offogyism
present, but being unsupported he beat a
hasty retreat before the action began. In
these consolidated districts Messrs. ]. H.
3 Mustard c. A. Bryan and A. H. Manship,
were reelected as the Committee for three
years. The accounts Of Mr.. J. H. B. Mustard,
the clerk of the board showed, that during
the past year there had been received from
tax and dividends Ss7s o9; aud the amount
paid out for tuition and other purposes was
sss4.o3. $4,000 was raised by tax. This
will enable the committee to run the schools
eight months as against seven months here
