The Latte Duel*
The recent sad affair noar Richmond

changes a theme for a rast deal of
>humDr" and "sarcasm." The entire
civilization of the Sooth i? portrayed in
ludicrous style.
- The IVorM haftjaet indulged in a Tcry
bitter and galling article on this sub
ject.
"Whiskey and flaw-hand led pistols,"
"according to this able paper arc necessa

"Life is not safe," with us. When
one contemplates that this unjust and
base misrepresentation ot the South

has just been leading a dance over the
mutilated corpses of butchered humanity,
where death has held high Court aud
carnival, where "murder most foul" has

been the daily occurrence and has be

of jest, how hold and trite nod poor the
"humor," how woak the "satire" of-our

OF INSURANCE TO AN EXORBITANT
PlQVftE.
TYo clip from our cotemporary the
" T?mr$f" the following remarks upon
a. subject of vital importance to our
merchants.
fJ ho latest tyranny inaugurated i*
that of the "Underwriters Association
of the South" Insurance capital repre
senting j^ngiish and Northern Com
panies', lra? beer? bunded under n fixed
agreement to raise the percentage of
insurance to a figure which i.i u tux of
i rightful magnitude. The pakvoblo oh
j ject is to draw from the country nt
' largo, and particularly the Swish,
i-nough in premiums to compensate for
Chicago und Host on losses. Tho boi
pnee wheel oi any pystcw o( trade or j
bu&incts is legitimate competition, A
merchant cannot prosecute his business
in competition with others, if he places
an unreasonable, profit on his wares.
Nor can any app ieant fur public furor
maintain his hold exept by a system of
equal er adrautugeou' tmris. Why
then shtuld not a responsible insurance
company pursue its business independ
and of any other company. So soon as
a common tariff is adopted under the
dictation of a combined association, st
soon does each and every company be
come the tool of a mooied monopoly for
< pprcssion. It is quite os reasonable
for laborers, farm hands, mechanics,
lawyers, aud doctors to sacrifice their
personal independence to a board, which
will assess the value of their services, or
far merchants in secret conclave to
awcar nod bond themselves to put a cer
tain per ccntage on every article they
sell. This money oppression will lead
.to ? resistance somewhere least expected,
nnd is a short sighted policy. W e of
the South must rogrt t that o'upital dc
mauds so. much for its service, and
dtpiocating all monopolies, we unhesita
. Cingly denounce ft as a- bass scheme to
build up Chicago and' Iio.<tx>u with
Southern money. Tho estnblU cd rate?

seven and eight pen cent, whore former
ly only two and one half and three have
been paid. It is timo that SA?u?Jk?ru
merchants and propctty holders should
establish some scheme of protcotiuu
ngsiuet this outrageous monopoly
All the anulogios go to prove that the
nest stage of being is higher than this.
1 U-uth is an upward step in tbc ascend

in what it leads to, and a gain in ilie te

It is a gain in trial and trouble in the

give due noticewl an annual meeting, to be
held In tbe Scheid Diet riet under their
supervision, on Sourd iy. 2Kth day of Juos,
1873, sW t'2 o'clock, M. 1 deem it ?f great
' importnncc to tbe success of onr Free Com
mon School1 System; that these meetings be
held in cv?ry School District in tbe State in l
that each1 School District raise a liberal
Lora' or District Serwol T<x for the snppoM
of its Free ConttutUVSchosl* for the follow
ing reason* ;'
1st. Tbe Star* appropriation mads for
Free Common .School purposes, for the cur
rent focal year, is itself, insufficient lo sup
ply the educational wants of Ihn people. In
those States having the most popular, satis
factory and successful systems'of Free com
mon Schools, the schools a** alritos* wnnlly
sustained by means of Local Schnei Taxes.
2d. Tbe amount of Foil Tax collected in
each of the several School Districts is, of
itself, insignificant.
3d. The Local Scheel Tss raised in- any
School restrict will cS 4f great servies as
auxilliar* and supplementary to' the Slate
appropriation and Fdll Tar.
4th. The hokml School Tax1 is' paid' into
the County Treasury, and is di.ectly subject
to the order of the Board of School Trustees
countersigned by the County School Com
missioner."
In ac tr-rdnncr with the above Circular
and in Srder fhs.i an amount necessary to
liquidate the indebledness of this important
B laaeh of the administration of the County,
for tbe ll'.seal year next ensuing. I would
suggest the importance of a liberal lax levy
by ths several school Districts for the sup
port of MS Free Common Schools.
