In thi firsit. place, then, we found s .mle ol tlce most import-ist brieges in tie count)y Cntirely swept away, and r.q-eicing to he entirtly rebuilt and man others needing considera ble re;,airs. There having been no provisius made by the L- gislature, or thle old Dloar-d of County Coimi. simnerp, for the pu1 pose, we, acting uider the authority given to us in Chap. 9, See. 10, tf the Revited Stit Ites, alm1st as soon ti.% we could obtain our conmnislions, qualified and assumed the discharge of our duties, and underst-inding the true conditioii of tie coutity in this respect, ordered itur couty treastrer to try and col. oet a tax of onse and a half mills on the as:sesed valcue of all taxtble pro. in the county, for tle purpose of rais ing a fund to calle us to rebuild bridges and highways running through river scnd creek bottoms. The county treasurer thought lie had 110 right to do so unless it was author. ized and sai,etioid and dire-ted by hc Cimniptioller Genera1 of the St-ltc atid referred the matter to his oon iderati. lie decided that we hu d ISo right to levy and collect such tax witlhut. ac new atind special delegation of authority and yower 'rom the legislature to do so, acid of courso the county treasurer refused to com ply with our directions in this res At the lacst ternm of the Circuit Court, Tudge ('a.rpeni er in hsis charge to tile G r.s d J1uiry declared that wre hcad no ri2 tt use any portion of' :he :1 r' .ised Iby the ordinary couin. 1y 1:.'.

A fter ai very closely made estimate weosee that the nsecessa-y expenses of' thce county for thcecrrenst.year will be alboult $8000. whcile the amount realized from lice eoiunty tax for this pucrp>se will not be much more than $5000, acnd how we are to meet (our $8000 of expenses with $5000 of. means is entirely beyond our compro hcension. \Ve hcave promised reform and eonomy, anid it shall be prao.. ied to our utmost ability. But jjL_v o j ilrailypeoaivetha th fund raised is inadequate for the no ces.ary expenditures, and while ro. luotatit to ask that our people, who complain ofr high tax:ttion, ani justly, too, shall have an additional burden imposed upon them, we believo that the best interests of the country will be subserved by doing so. The inan eial con-dition f the county is de. plorable in the extreme, and h:s been oaused by e.ienditire.i made in excess of the appropriated me ins provided to iect the same. We wish we could lay oefore you the entire indebtedness of the county, but thii cannot be done now. We L.cp,-, how over to be able to do ac soon, as we have alread3 required a registration to be made of all the past indebted ness of the county. Most of this has beent provided for by the General Asssmbly, and as soon as Judge Car penter, (in whose hands the matter now is,) shall direct us in what man ner we are to pay such claims, we will let it be known to the olaimanto, and pay out as directed by him. In conclusion we call upon all tax. payers to bear with us patiently, or be aver ready to aid us in our honest efforts to a-:rve them, and believe that whatever step we take will be prompt ed by an earnest desire to promote their best interests and redeem the county from that position of insolven ey and bankruptcy in which she now is and ploce her in a condition of prosperi:y. This will necessarily be a work of time. and we can hur ly hope to accomplish it in the short term of our office, starting as we do under the embarrassments and diffi. nilties we have already expressed. But we I-ope we shall be able to ao conplish enough to evince that we have been actuated by a sincere desire to promote y ur best, interests, by honesty und fidelity in the man ugement. of your financial affairs.

The tax passed by the House of Representatives Tuesday will raise $34,000,000, ii round numbers as follows : Froim whi.key, $12,000,000; from sugar, $8,000,000 ; renewal of horizontal tax, 8,000,0WO ; tobacco, $4,000,000 ; cigars, $2,000,000. The original bill rnised $18,000 000 on whisky, or $6,000,000 more thau the present mneasure, but did not tax ei ars, ann repealed the tax on mWitches, which this bill does not do. The net resulti of the two measures are almost the saime in amount, the decrease oil whisky under the substi tute being nearly covered by the in. creased tax on cigars and the contin. unation of the match tax, The Colorrd Cadet Trouble at Annapols.

Pause here awhile, but keep your finger firmly looked. She may cough and try to turn the subject off by ask. ing you how you liked the circus, but she only does it to encourage you.

Toward the end of the evening it is always better to owe up your aunto "for a minute" than to put up, as the winner of the pot frequently forgets to charge up the debts, and none of the other players will remind him, as they may wish to do the same thing. 4. When the credit system begin4 to creep in, its it gencrally does about the middle of the game, you should always owe up if posible, 1lnd bet chiefly a.;iist those who ilways put up. This is one of the inert important rules. To win in 1asi and lose on e-edit is the great iecrot of suecessful poker playing. 5.

Never permit anything to nake you forget for a moment that he whole object of your game li to ;ve your own inorev and secure omebody else's, and let everything Vou do, however trifling, tend to this lesirable end. 11. When the game is over, if you ire winner, deny it entirely, or fix Ahe figure as low us possible ; if you ire loser, declare that you have lo., .wice as :ueh as y,u really havo.

Tho bLst way to proiote that result is to show that a the bondholders would not gain any, a thing by waiting and that tie now bonds, or Conlsols, are absolutely tOlre.
