rea Dy uwt way upon tows and cities. By the fVam-

that there should be a general school system established, wherein tuition should bo provided for by the interest on the common school fund, and such taxes as niim. Y"FS "y me legislature for that purpose, to be under the control and management of the State, and not left to be provided for and under the management of incorporated towns or cities. The building of school-houses is not necessarily any p,u t genera ana uiutorm system of common schools, wherein tuition shall be without charge," any more than the building of churches is a part of the Christian religion. School-hoses may be provided by the townships, or by incorporated towns and cities ; and yet, such "general and uniform system of common schools" may be carried on in them, wherein tuition is without charge. The prohibition upon the Legislature does not extend to laws for the building of school houses. . It extends to laws "providing for supporting common schools" merely. Hence, it was determined by the Supreme Court in the case above alluded to, that incorporated cities and towns might bo empowered by the Legislature to levy a tax for building school-houses; but that they could not be empowered to levy such tax for the support of schools, because there was a direct prohibition upon the Legislature as well because such power, vested in incorporated towns and cities, and exercised by them, would be in direct conflict with the imperative requirement of the Constitution, that the system should be "genoral and uniform." Such is the decision upon this important question. It is, beyond doubt, a correct exposition of the Constitution, as it carries out the evident intention of the makers of that instrument to make the system a State institution, to support which the rule of taxation shall be equal and uniform throughout the State, and in the benefit of which every child in the State has a right to participate equally with every other child, whether he live in the country or town. But this decision has been attacked by some portions of the press, and inasmuch as it is right to presume that those who assail the decision, are opposed to the principles on which it was decided, and are in favor of a contrary doctrine, a brief examination of the opposite theory will not be out of place. It may here be remarked that, to hold a law valid, which confers upon incorporated towns and cities the power in question, would seem to require an utter and total disregard of the plan and unmistakable requirements of the Constitution a thing that should never be done upon any grounds of expediency or policy. If the Constitution is wrong, and does not meet the requirements and wants of the people, it Bhould be amended so as to answer the purpose for which it was designed, but while it is unaltered, no Court or body should disregard its behests, upon any pretext or ground whatever. It may be disregarded or not carried out in one instance, it may in another, and it would soon become no better than a piece of blank paper ; instead of having a binding Constitution, defining and limiting the various branches of Government, we should soon be in efTect destitute of any such fundamental regulation. Those who condemn the decision as wrong, of course, advocated the doctrine, that the law authorizing incorporated cities and towns to establish and support schools, and levy taxes for that purpose, is valid, and should be enforced. Their idea is, that incorporated towns and cities should have peculiar privileges and immunities in this respect, not enjoyed by the peoEle inhabiting the rural districts, or the country at trge. . The Legislature, as has been seen, lias provided for the general and uniform system, and levied the tax on property and polls for its support. This law operates equally in town and county, but it is claimed that towns and cities should have additional privileges in this respect. Such discriminations between town and country are believed to be wholly at variance with the true theory and principle on which public free schools should rest. That duty is, that it is the duty of the State to provide for the education of all the children thereof, rich and poor, to be supported so far as necessary, by taxation to be imposed upon the property and polls of the State, and that each child in the State shall equally participate in the benefit of the funds thus raised. Now, let us suppose a case. Suppose that in an incorporate town or city, in addition to the ten cents on the hundred dollars levied by the State, the corporation levies ten cents more, whereby she is enabled to keep up her schools twice as long as they can be kept up in the country surrounding the town or city. Now, in the case supposed, a man living within the limits of the city or town, can send his children to school twice as long as he who happens to live outside the corporation, in the country ; and in case neither of these men have taxable property, the one living in town gets twice as much out of the public in the way of the tuition of his children, as he who lives in the country. This is an invidious distinction against the country, wholly at variance with the true theory of free schools. Again, if incorporated towns and cities are permitted to act independently of the State in this matter, much indifference will undoubtedly be felt in some localities in reference to the general system of the State. Perhaps the members of the Legislature, knowing that the towns and cities can levy their own taxes for the suport of the schools, we feel entirely unwilling to vote anything but a meager tax for the support of the general system, whereby the education of the children of the country will be but poorly provided for, while the provisions made for those in the town or city may be ample. The inevitable tendency of this theory would be to build up a system of schools in towns and cities, whereby the children could be educated by compulsory taxation through the municipal authorities, while those of the country would be left to be provided for only by the operation of the general school law and the State tax levied for that purpose. This tax might, and undoubtedly would, often be insufficient, in consequence of the fact that the towns and cities were authorized to levy a tax for themselves, whereas, if the towns and cities were, like the country, confined to the operation of the general law, a tax might be raised sufficient to support the schools, in both town and country, a reasonable portion of the year. Here, then, are the two systems. That, on the one hand, which seeks to carry out the intention of the trainers of your Constitution, by establishing "a general and uniform system of common schools, wherein tuition shall be without charge, and equally open to all," and wherein every child in the State, whether he live in town or country, shall have an equal right to the benefit of the school fund, a fund raised by taxation for school purposes; and that, on the other hand, which seeks to give towns and cities an advantage over the country, in plain violation of the Constitution, and of those principles wliich make the interests of the people of a State one and inseperable. Look well to tlieni, and see that you be not deceived. Constitutionalist. For the Locomotive. THIRD DISTRICT SCHOOL HOUSE. Mu. Editor: The gentleman writing over the Dame of Mr. Alexander, assumes to set himself and neighbors right with reference to the difficulty, about lie location of the School house in Uistnct JNo. a, in Centre township. After speaking of the organization on the old site, he says " all were satisfied the house Was thought to be in the right place." I will here re mark that the new house stands within a few rods of the centre between the district north and the one south, making it about two miles from each. In order to show the satisfaction of gentlemen and neighbors, I will give the vote taken at a meeting called Dy me, as director, to consider whether the old site should be retained, or a new one secured, which was a? follows. For the old site W. Alexander, W. R. Thompson, E. Green, N. riumnier, H. Smart, and T. Huwgins 6. Opposed to the old site G. W. McLaughlin, C. Moore, R. Roe, L. Aires, IX Bowser, aad Frank Arnold 6. J. McMahan, President of the meeting, giving the casting vote in favor of the old site. The gentleman says, to prove that all were sat,5fied, that all opposed to the old location wanted it "loved a quarter of a mile north to a high piece of ground, the old ground being low ground. I ask how ell were they satisfied. Great consistency. I wish so show some more satisfaction here. Mr. W. & Thompson, who was opposed to the northern site, offered the ground now used gratis, in opposition to the bolters from the old site, to see if they would become conciled to unite on the old ground. Mr. Alexander, wio was at all times in favor of the old ground, went ith Mr. Thompson to see the strong opposers, and told them that if they would withdraw their northern site the Trustees should not have his ground. They

were opposed bitterly, stating that their children should not go to that mud hole to school, that it was surrounded with many disadvantages, and that one school had been dismissed in consequence of musquitoes. . The Trustees had not seen the ground until the excitement was up. They then examined the three locations, after giving public notice, and a great many neighbors were present. After hearing the great objections made to the old ground by the people on the north, and examining Mr. Larrabee's statements, in his report of 1853, on pages 53-5-6, resolved to locate the school house on Mr. Thompson's land. After this decision, the Rev. gentleman that took such an active part in opposition, wrote a petition, asking those on the south for their names, to present to the Trustees to relocate on the old ground. Some signed it, thinking it would be best; others, hoping it would settle the trouble, and some to gratify personal friendship for Mr. Alexander. As this petition was out, a remonstrance, was written and signed by over 20 persons, all of whom live within one mile and a quarter of the new house. There is not the name of a man in the Township on the petition that live's more than one mile and a quarter from the new house, with two or three exceptions, and they are nearer to another house. Many of my neighbors have expressed dissatisfaction at the article of the gentleman, and at their request I have given this plain statement of facts, as they actually exist- JOHN McMAIIAN, Director. RAILROAD DECISION. In the United States District Court, held at Clevelaud, Ohio, the following decision has been made in the case of mortgagees and trustees of the Steubenville and Indianna Railroad vs. the Treasurer of Tuscarawas conuty, who seized the rolling stock for taxes. The mortgagees asked for a perpetual injunction against the tax gatherer on the ground that The company was unable to pay the interest or principlo of said bonds, or to raplace said locomotive and cars in case the same should be sold; that the use and possession of the same were absolutely necessary to the operation of the road by the company, and that a sale of the property by the treasurer would be of irreparable injury to the holders of said bonds. Judge McLean held , 1. That the power of taxation is a sovereign political power, and a branch of the power of eminent domain. That if the manner of assessing and collecting taxes prescribed by the Legislature be not in conflict with the constitution, aud the officers charged with that duty conform in their action to the law, no court can restrain or interfere with these officers in the discharge of their duties. ... 2. That the lien of the State fortaxesisparamount to all private rights vested under the government. Individual liens cannot come in competition with the lien of the State for taxes. 3. That the lien of the State for taxes attaches to personal property upon the seizure of the same, as ;n cases of levy by marshals or sheriffs, and when such property is sezed for taxes due the State, it is in the custody of the law under a paramount lien, which cannot be displaced by the liens of individuals upon the same property. 4. That the relation of the complainants to the Steubenville and Indiana Railroad Company is defined by the terms of the mortgage conveyance to them. That default in the payment of the interest or principle of the bonds secured by the mortgages did not vest the road and its equipment in the complainants as mortgagees, but authorized them to take possession of the road and run it as the agents of the company, or to sell the road at public sale. That the ownership of the property could only be changed by a sale of it, and that no sale having taken place, the company, and not the complainants were the owners of the property. Temporary injunctions dissolved and bill dismissed at the cost of the complainants.
