A General Settlement

ants/and Guardians.

As we intimated last week, we earnest* ,]y desire a settlement with all the friends of Jlie ltF-VEiiw: this year, and wo hereby again request that (very penon imlublctl to the Keveu.i.e whether resident of the .(,’oiinty or Slate, or of any other - State in the Union, will be so good as to din* charge the amount due, or ;:o much thereof a.s may I>e'convenient, with as little delay as possible. Our lines, separately considered, ate but small, nml may bo discharged with comparative ease br those indebted, but the aggregate amounts to TI UN Pit EDS. and would be immcnfc,’|y conveniuut to us, justut this time. Sub-’ | sailers at a distance can remit at our I mk, in tegislcrcd letters. Editorial duns are mostly considered as of general bearing, ami hence few individuals give them a personal application. They arc considered ai intended for every one in general, aml.no one in particular, as embracing every body’s business without it being any body’s business to attend to them. Against this view of tbc question wo wish to bo considered as entering our protest Wo wish it to be bornein miml that this dnn is nRTtcaLAU, as well os general! We-wish every individual interested to adopt this language: **It is iutended fo,r jib, oud 1 will attend to it-— tbc laborer is worthy of his hire, and so far as I am,concerned ho shall have it," and that, too, wc milst bo permitted to hope, without much delay. And, in tbo language of one who no doubt feels, as wc feel, wc invito you lb Walk up, Roll up r . - Tumble up, Step up, Jump up, Climb up, Run up, Skate up, Ride up. Hush up,

The attention of Administrators, Executors, and Claimants is called to tlic following provisions contained ih the acts of IS55: -r '

I know not whether 1 am or not. i | [tilths Hint as it may, it is perhaps due to mv-! seif, and perhaps also to others similarly 1 placed, an J to the people of the town to make a brief pujjllc statement of the facts as they exist and have existed Tor some .years. The town was first ojjanizcU under a charter from the Legislature, wliich 1 thought a very good 0110, Trustees, were chosen—corporation Ja ws enacted, Pincers appointed, Ac., Ac. Among other things done, a grade was built at H.eb.-r-inniation of the Stale road to Hie river.. This grade cost some ten or eleven hundred dollars. Pail of this stint was paid by subscription, and a part aim, I * believe by Taxes collected. 1 pud on subscription .$100.

In fact very Villie service has bedn perforinCd by the 'Hoard,;exci-pt > when called, together, at the' teqVle.-d of - Mr. Derrick*, to devise some means to collect the taxes leviedtei.pay his claim. . ■ The first organization was abandoned, because, as I'understand, there was some doubt : of its legality. . The-preseiit organtzuiion is under the Gone rat Law of the Stale; and the last tax levied is under the re organization. Mr. Derrick was sure,the. tax wis lejjjlly asscssed, arid thdt it could be collected, mid at his suggestion amt for his benefit, the tax list was putiuto the hands of tbe County Tieasur er for that purpose. . 5omt of this tax has bt-cn paid. -Dow much Tknow. not; but it seems unjust to those who have paid, to' levy and collect a new tax before the old oners collected.'. ' There caii bo neither, reason nor jiislire m-sucha procedure. ■ It would be gross itijuslice towards those .who have" paid .their taxes on the .|nsl assessment, the.most of which (several ’ hundred do'-laisl believe).'remains uncollected and t/ur,.because the town collector refused to force payment, and (lie County Ticasurei hits "followed in the steps of Ids illustrious predoccasar."

j rattor’a and Publisher's Convention. I Onr cotemporaries arc debating the question among thcm-elves of whether it would he expedient for the legislate:*’ pass a law requiring tlie publication of the j State in nl least one paper in each f: county. ,* Wc have alwayVcon tended that r j the laws of a State should be published in ( [ its local pipers. It Is a precedent that has j.| boon set and rigorously lived up to by al* | most every Statu in the Union, ours being ‘inborn the only solitary exception, It is lithe oujy channel through which the masses mu be made acquainted with the laws wliich they arc bound to obey; The old maxim, that “every man is* hound to ( know the law,”.ha? become obsolete—in1 deed it never should.have been otherwise. ’ Ifow a man is to know and obey the pro- , visions of a law which he . has never seen or read, is a question that-we never cOnld settle in a; manner consistent with common sense. wo do'not feel inclined to argue the point. 1 We have done that repeatedly heretofore. We merely wish to suggest the propriety of holding a con- ! vcnlton at Indianapolis sometime during the coming .month, of all the editors ami publishers of tjio State. Of course if wo expect to accomplish anything the Convention must coni posed of all parties, and polities must have nothing to do-with it. Through a Conx'cution of this kind wc may’he able to accompli-di much good, and f ecu re to onrselVos many benefits which wc do-not now enjoy.
