THE ROAD CONGRESS. We want to keep the road congress promptly before the people, and cot let them forge" it. It meets 0:1 the -'Sth of this month, as has been already published. Ic should be discussed in every corner of the county, and an interest in its sucecss should be excited. Every good :hiz3n is interested Hi it, %uut;iu> ? present. Xow as to what should bs the outcome of the congress our own view is that county bonds should be floated to the amount ot about two hundred thousand dollars, >ome one should preseut to the con^vois some statistics, " - ^ *1* * l ?"1 t"> ] n A"f is1 ] ILIU lUlkll liPitaswu. <uuw V*. ? ... the real and psrs:>.:al pr*p2rtr of the county, giving tiic -..amber of mil's 0:1 tho dollar necessary to raise saffieient amount to pay the isterest on the bones, illustrations of horr much tax a man wouli ba?fi to par Trho onas 81000 -worth of property tad the 2Mi! who owes $a0?. and so on.

This would bring U before the people in a very practical way, and carry home as ncHbiii? el3e wonid do the argument of ^ood roads. If this congress convenes without a detinite plan in view, it will end in -?-?TjCihing. We believe the people are resdv to do something, and they will aci promptly when something practical is giren them. The congress she aid not be a drag. v m X r_i KOAD CONGRESS. la view of the fact that a road congress is to be held here on .the 2Sth of this month to discuss some plan of improving the public highways, .we had expected to make some investiga'r^4-r\ 7 n XTT OT\T>7 fn frhft LlVi" 1U{j\J I LIU lUtF * \s *.v *wv fioDiiog of County bonds for that purpose. The Columbia State has been urging- lUchland county to issue road > bond?, and it presents the phase- of the question which we had been considering. Ti:e Constitution, Sec. Art. X is as follows: The bonded debt of &ny county, township. school district, municipal corporation or political division or subdivision of this State shall never exceed S per ce turn of the assessed value of all taxsbie property therein. An.? ?ir? tnwnshin. mnnieir>al corporation or c her political division of this State shu.l hereafter be authorized to increase its bonded indebtedness if at the time of any proposed increase thereof the aggregate amonnt - * ? ? i i _ t- i. c? its aireauy 05151125 Doaueu ut;uiamounts to S per centum of the value of all taxable property therein as ascertained by the valuation for State taxation. Ana wherever there shall. be several ^ political divisions cr municipal corporations covering cr extending over the samo territory, or portions thereof, possessing a power to ievy a tax or contract debt, then oich of such political divisions or municipal corpora-) lions shall so exercise its power to increase its d-ibt ur '^r the fore-going 8 per ceut. lirait&tLn that the aggregate debt over and upon any territory of tills State sL-nli never excecd 101 per ccntura of the value of all taxable property in such territory as valued) for taxation by the State": Provided, That nothing herein shall prevent the r,( +V\i? nn^rw.m m f n?v.

Tue County of 5Vir!ieid has in round numbers $0,409,0$'.' worth of property ace?rdinj to the assessed valus for taxation, and it ha? no bonded debt wh. tevcir. T.:c present deot of the County is ab .ut :?2,0Q0, representing, we believe, past indebtedness for the ordinary kH'ui.s of tho County.

TIIE JIOKMOX HXCITK3IENT. Editor X>: ics an'I I Feral J: According I to a dispatch in tue Baltimore Herald] of July I'lth. the people of your county seem to be suffering from the opera-! lions of two Mormon elders and w^r has been declared. In this and adjoining counties of Maryland aiul Pennsylvania the Mormons have aiso been actively engaged for some time J fast. Thanks to the Intelligence of I thn iiorsnln of this couuty, not one 1 1 VV{ w_ convert has been reported and the people arc disposed to let the elder? come and go as harmless cariosities. In "Washington and Allegheny counties of this state, and in Fnlton and Bedford counties cf I\i., thu elders have stirred up a great excitement, and mass meetings have been called in which to devise ways and means for their suppression. Believing this to be a land of free speceh .and religious liberty and foreseeing that mass meetings "would result m calls " - * ' 1 -< ' Unrmnns T <1 f lor me oioou ui tuu .uwmvuc, ^ ? once sent conciliatory articles to most all the papers of the excited counties, above mentioned, and have sin*e seen matters quieted down. The Mormons have bier, acknowledged to be the possessor? of stroi::: arguments-in tbeir favor ami church | papers and c? ".rclj ministers hit have; been aaab!(; to successfully combat j them have beet) sufficiently excite.i to a,dveca'e Mo.-mon suppre-sion by j j other than the weapons of outre-! | versv. I have undertaken, single-; j hand'.d, to beard someot the .Mormon ! < i- ; 1, ,v,-? frvinrl I IlOIiS 111 liivil UCU3 XA ?, . s, them as imbecile <*s kitte:is. I believe tbut the proper way to J combat tbara is through the local pr^i! of the counties they invade, and that! any people so inforaed reading the j fallasies of the ilormon faith and j practice will thereafter consider th.am j a? a speel? ot% haralew ouriojity. i The world ist setting' array fro on' churches, and bapti?aa? a ad elder 1 a ad priests, and the Montion makes a mistake i^hen is tbinfcs that the world's abaadoament tof these is tks open door for him to e uer with stl.l j another reproduction of the same. \ The Mormon church is, itself, in process of dissolution Its leaders have publicly published me fact that not only its common people, but its elders, i's prophets and its apostles hare left it in large numbers. We therefore see the 17,000 Mormon elders now on the road as scut abroad t< keep them occupied and prevent their heads from also becoming turned against the vast delusion also. This comports well with the old trick of arbitrary rulers who stir up exterior ;vars to* engage their people when civil war seems jbrooding. The Mormon elders who come among us have plent of money. They ?w-,,-, ./> rrr\ <<<T7?mnnf nnrsA nr serin" j tv mwuvuv ~~ Lj to deceive the credulous into the bei liet that they are the followers of the meek and lowly Jesus who had not where to lay :"his head. They have their multi-million dollar temples, their fine cities, their productive farms, J their fat cattle, their schools, theatres, | monuments, banks, and ail the conj constants of the rich and powerful, j They alight from a thousand mile j ride by paid car fares to impose upon I the bounty of the poor house-wife, I the store keeper, the hots! keeper, the j man with a hall to rent and everybody I else. ! -L'.icc mc iasmonau.c pi;upn; m vui {large cities, they havs theatrical benejfits, sometimes, in ?-vto raise money for the decaying <>i some of the poorer elder?, traveling expenses. The ciders arc 110*7 ol "pk.isant ad-1 dress/"' true enough; but a tricky j drummer and a blockhead elude car.have that. The elders, however, have not sense enough to reply to any public! criticism that' is made of them ana j most all the pamphlets they distribute were written by men of a past generation, who, if they lived now, wonld rather seek to convert their own people J back into Mormonism thin to seduce strangers intojit f. u. tvtexty ckeek dots.
