The Boston Advertiser opposes Mr.


Summers proposition to make the Presi-


dent ineligible. for more than one term
This is the conclusion of u long article on


the subject


But aside from experience there are


reasons enough to continue the fallacy OF


the one-term argument. 1t is assumed


that the hope of reelection in the presi-
/ dental mind is an inducement to bad be-
havior. With the eyes of the nation up
on Chief Magistrate, and an active and
interested opposition on the alert to de


tect and magnify his faults, it should
rather be an inducenent to the greatest
caution, and to the best service of which
human nature is capable of performing
For person capable of corrupting his
subordinates in order to perpetuate his
power, it should be easy to plunder the
public as recompense for exclusion from
| office thereafter We need not speak of
exlgencies when it might be desirable to
take advantage of the experience which a
Chief magistrate has acquired, and of the
confidence he has established; or when
the reelection of magistrate, as in the
case OF President Lincoln, is the only ap-
parent way Of securing consistent policy
and stability of administration absolutely
essential to national existence. These
are s1ltevident propositions; and they are
not IN Mr.. Summers imposing preamble.
nor in Mr.. Greeley's and George Wilkes
editorials. The argument W hich pre-.
vailed in the beginning has lost some of
It's force after nearly centurys expert
ence. There is still an excess OF refinement
in the idea OF disabling the people to con-
tinue in office men who have entitled
themselves, in their opinion, to approba-
ZION and confidence, the advantages OF
which are at best speculative and equivo-
CAL and are overbalanced by advantages
far more certain and decisive"

The people desire 10 have ten months
OF public school each year, and this will
be whether the purchase is made or not
Therefore, we must increase the rate of
taxation sufficient to cover the cost Of the
building only. 1t is not necessary that
the $4,000 shall be paid the first year,
but the payment may be deferred for a
number Of years by paying interest on
the bonds given therefor, at the rate Of ten
per cent. This dis,ric. is increasing rap.
idly in wealth and population, and We
do not think it violent presumption to
say that the valuation of property within
four years will DO 100000 Basing the
calculation on valuation Of $500 900,
it will be seen that tax of mills on the
dollar will pay the interest on 5000 /;
and a tax Of 8 mills on the dollar will
pay the interest and 5000 of the princi.
pal the first year and the same rate Of
taxation for four years will pay all but
5000 Of the debt, provided that the valu.
alton Of the property of the district never
goes above 100000. The district now
owns a building which may be sold for
say $1,000, and vacant lot for 500
This will reduce the debt to less than
$4,000


The question now presented to the
people of this district is: Will you con.
sent to tax yourselves one half Of a cent
on the dollar per year, for four years, to
buy property which is worth more than
Sc, 900, the sum asked for it, and which
will be worth to the district $4,000?


The public school now requires three
teachers and the $50 children that at
tend it are graded, or divided into three
general classes, according to the studies
they pursue. The present building is
not large enough to accommodate the
number of children who now attend the
school. There are over 300 children Of
school oge now in this district, and as the
public school has grown IN favor with the
people, the number attending the school
has steadily increased with each year.
The Institute building is large enough tc
comfortably accommodate 500 pupils
and has o sufficient number Of rooms to
permit all of them to be properly graded
or classed, so ss to insure the creates,
au cunt of good to each individual child
attending the school. IF parents regart

Honest, hearty, coutented labor is the only
source of happiness, as well rs the only
guarantee Of life. The gloom of inisanthro-
ness we might have, but it tends to destroy
life itself. ldleness and luxury produce
premature decay much faster than many

instead Of shortening the term OF life,
actually increases il. It is the lack Of
occupation that annually destroys so many

play the part Of drones, and like them
make a speedy exit, while the busy bee
fills out lis day IN usefulness and honor.
