Bunn, and after having fully considered tho case, which was reserved for the purpose of a careful examination, have, all the judges cocooning, sustained the follow? ing ruling of the Internal Bevon ne Bureau: Bonds issued by cities or towns to aid in the construction of railroads, and to purchase stock therein, are not considered ns issued by municipal officers in the exercise only of functions strictly belonging to them in their ordinary go? vernmental and municipal capacity. They are held liable, therefore, to stamp tax at the same rate as promissory notes, being five cents for every $100, or frac? tional part thereof. The coupons are a part of the bond and do not require ad? ditional stamps. HON. Cu AH iiiis J. FAULKNER.-This gentleman announces that he is not a candidate for United States Senator from West Virginia. He says: I feel constrained to state that I am at this time wholly incapacitated from holding any office, either nuder the Con? stitution of the United States or under the Constitution of West Virginia. Thns disqualified, under the Fourteenth Amendment, from holding any office, either State or Federal, and deprived of all my rights aB a voter and a citizen by the amended Constitution and laws of this State, I have, since the close of the late civil war, taken no active or prominent part in the political straggles of the State or nation, but have been content quietly to follow my professional and agricultural pursuits, looking for? ward to the day, which I was satisfied could not bo far distant, when the pro? gress of Democratic principles would relax and destroy the policy of Bepubli oanism, and would restore both States and individuals to the full enjoyment of those rights and privileges which our constitutional system was designed to secure to them. RAILROAD WAR IN AUGUSTA.-With the assistance of the South Carolina Bailroad Company, the Street Railway Company of Augusta were enabled to lay a track to the Fair Grounds near the city, which, during fair week, was a great conve? nience to tho citizens and visitors. Since the fair closed, the track has been used to convey guano from the South Caro? lina Bailroad Depot to u storo-houso erected by Mr. J. O. Muthowson, a heavy dealer in that artiole, a few miles out of town. The track crosses tho Georgia Central Bailroad track, and, on Saturday last, the laborers of that company toro up tho now track where it crossed their own. Since then, they have not allowed it to bo repaired, and traffic on it is stopped, to the inconvenience of Augusta in general and Mr. M. in particular. General Beynolds, by his snagging operations on tho Mississippi, under Go? vernment orders, has reduced tho insur? ance premium on river steamers t? of 1 per cent., a saving of $3,750,000 annu? ally. A single snag below Grand Tower, pulled out a year ago, sunk three boats and damaged two more, causing nn ag? gregate loss of $300,000. SENATE. t^^^ Th\^?^5?eta7l^ K ?

EDITOR: The Governor, in hie annual message, has thought proper tb recommend to the General Assembly a reduction io tho pay ol County officers; and almost immediately following thia gubernatorial advice? Mr. Wh itt em o re, {ex-member of Congress,) introduces a bill into the Senate reducing the pay of County School Commissioners from $1,000 to $2001 save th e.lucky Commis? sioner for Charleston County, who is to receive "3300, payable quarterly !" Now far be it from me to oppose retrenchment in auy juBt form, but when County of? ficers arc made the special target of the Executive and of Mr. Whittemore, it seems to mo that they are actuated by other motives than a desire to exercise a rigid economy in the administration of the Government. If retrenchment is tho great desideratum, why not commence on tho salary of his Excellency, and then consistently light on County officers? The Executive did not think, on the 16th day of last February, that the pay of the School Commissioners was too much, nor did he think in September, 18GS, nor doos he think in December, 1870, that $3,000 per annum is too much to pay a Governor, although the Executive man? sion is furnished gratis! No, his love of retrenchment then and now is not suffi? cient to induce him to ask a retrench? ment of his own salary! If the office of School Commissioner is to bo merely an honorary one, to be filled by such disin? terested patriots, who think moro of honor than of their own "household," why moy not the Executive be paid in the same coin? But it is said that tho duties of tho School Commissioner are trifling, and that they have not performed well even the ?.mall amonnt of duty required of them. This may be true of some, bnt has no one in tho Exeoutive Department trifled? Lot Laurens anewer! The truth is, the Governor has always been nig? gardly with the educational deport? ment, savo the city of Charleston, on which place he has sanctioned the be? stowal of more of tho State School Fund than that city is entitled to by law. Three-fourths of our people cannot read nor write, and yot out Governor lins no word of encouragement, no re? commendations to make to the General Assembly, by way of asking for an in? creased appropriation for school pur? poses! He doos not even recommend that tho Legislature comply with the request of tho State Superintendent o? Education, when ho knows or should know that that officer intends to ask for a larger fund for schools than has here? tofore been given! And yet tho educa? tional interest is ono that is not second, but is even paramount to every other interest of tho State! More anon. A BEPUBLICAN. -? -* ? ?
