V AUK NOW! ! That under the Funding Hill not a dollar in money will ever reach the State Treasury at i-re sent rates, as the coupons are made receivable for taxes, and i will all re bouoht up by the j County Treasurers at a discount, and turned over to the state in lieu of money ! ! We defy Treasurer Rye, or any otlier man. to deny iltesc propositions. Why is the Richmond press silent on this question 7 • eIIONESTYB.FORK EDUCATION." The Republican platform demands "« thor ough system of comtvjc school education :" and in the same paper they denounce ilie Fundis which provided for tile paymerrl of in'crest on two-thirds of ili» State debt. How would ii do to pay ill" interest on two thirds of the debt lirst, and t'i-n look after educa ting the colored people? Thereto an old, but a very good, Baying, "To be just before, you are generatta." The Constitution does not reqnii this system to be pin in operation |)efore !

Hill as literals so nine h complaint about paving this interest, wo ihiukthu best plait would be to save the money spent on our schools, pro bably $1,000,000 n. year. W« da not Hke to see l l any of our people, white or block, grow up with out a common-school education ; but vie prefer ignorance to dishonesty ; and If we nve forced to elect, we say, let v- pay our deles first, an.,l go to school afterwards.— Jlioamcwa' IJnquircr. The Richmond Enquirer, thus squarely the terma which its party offers to the people of Virginia. Months ago vre warned our readers of the coalition boUveei the representative* of the stock gamblers and the hereditary enemies of free schools. The Richmond Democratic press Ion;. since „ clearly indicated the approaching ca rpaigu against popular education. In the Conservative address the same wicked purpose ereeped out. The little parrots of the party all over the State are re peating what their masters have t&ugh them, and the Democratic slogan is to be "Down with the free schools'." 0 course, it will not do to male n assault upon the only means by the children of the masses can be cdi cated, and so the Enquirer tells us "that it prefers ignorance to dishonesty; that it would pay debts lir.-,t and go to schoo Now let us look at this proposition as il lustrated in a practical sense. A well to do farmer, who has a largo family of young I en, has incurred a debt. His chil lave grown to au age when they need tion. He has just arranged for a I in his neighborhood, and agreed to certain portion ol his yearly incoiu intain it. Suddenly, lightning strike.' m and destroys it; a great tloo< s away his crops, and his flocks and Ho la left with only-his bare lands, jls, and the house which shelters his tnd little ones. Accepting bravely ct of his great loss, he still feels that is something Worth living for. These en, the best gift of God, may be mat able and useful men and women. To s this lie is willing to toil early and ■> provide subsistence and education s loved ones. His children are now |oy the great boon of the schools, by i they can rise to the best places in ,nd become helps and comforts to his *c. The children are sent to school, he father,',by severe labor and practi every economy, is able to feed am i them, and obtain the money to pa ieir books and tuition. t now comes the creditor, and de- I s that the money laid aside to pay for I ext year's instruction shall be paid to j and the children be sent to the field, I Ip raise more money to litjuidate his Is the father bound in honor to ly? Can he refuse without dishonor? j isk the fathers and mothers of Vir who read this, to put themselves in ' ate and answer. Look at your own brood. Is there anything so precious uas your children ? i'ou will give very lives for them ! How much d tempt you to bring them up in igno rance ? Can you measure the value ol education to them, in money ? The obli gation to tea ii them is as sacred v that to supply them with food. No man who has not been brutalized by the corrupting in fluence of a false system, would tolerate the monstrous proposal, to degrade his children and cut them otf.from the great opportuni ties of life, even to pay his debts. Xo right-minded man would feel dishonored by this refusal, if misfortune had deprived him of the means to pay. Virginia stands to-day before the world in this position. Misfortune has twi pi away her surpius gains. She i.- destitute of all but her great natural resources and he r brave sons and daughters, who are I to restore her waste places and build anew more than her old time prosperity.

And now we appeal to the people to say, whether they will preserve the empty name of honor at the expense of their children.

REASSESSMENT Of LANDS IN VIRGINIA. Wo noticed in the report of proceedings at a Republican meeting in Fauquier coun v, a resolution of instruction to their can idates for election to the Legislature, re uiring them if elected to advocate the pas age of a bill ordering a reassessment of uds in Virginia. This is a matter of groat importance to ir agriculturalists, even under a low rate 'taxation; but in view of the increased itel" of taxation, rendered necessary by the unding bill, it becomes one of vital inter st to then). Before the last legislature* adjourned, mplaints of erroneous assessments poured from many counties; but it was sup. i-..! the county courts could grant .the re isf prayed Est, and do HGtion was had. A bill for the equalization of assessments i the several counties In the State, was in .. ,! in the Mouse ; but it came from io committee too late for full intelligent Sen lgku.l, ami In the form presented was nsatisfactery to the friendu of equalize so they could hot press it to final The equalization of assessments by a Uite board, is a new feature in Virginia, is at generally understood, and, therefore, i looked upon with distrust by many who irne.stly desire that which trie operations eftaboard, properly constituted, would For instance, a State tax it levied of $1 n every £100 value of land. Take two unities ef equiJ urea and acreable value. ; .-es : or in A county values the land at s lull market price—sny $2Sper acre—but tic assessor in 15 county values the land at wo-ihireU or throe-fouths its market price — ,ay isls 7.", per acre, for land of equa l gricu'tiual talue to that in A county. Fifty thousand acres in A county would would pay but ?.',•>'•'• It makes no difference whether the as sessment of lands in the different com be above or below cash value, provided there is entire uniformity of proportionate . The only difference would be, that as a certain amount of tax must be raised, I a lower valuation Dumeiltetei a higher rate lof per centage tax, each county, however, i pavini its juyt proportion Of the entire amount of tux to be teased. A report laid before the last Legislature by the Auditor, shows some counties will, | under the present assessment, pay much b\vond their just proportion of State tox. I From this report we make the followiug I extracts : Assessed j Assessed Angnsta'.'.'.lo,ML9l4lll',(!4e!B2o 1,137,1)06 ......

Comparison of above at once suggests that a I diil'ereiit standard of valuation governed assess ments in Henry and Mathevrs, Mecklenburg and Oreenesville. To review these assessments intelligently, and fix an equitable valuation for each county, as compared with the other coun ties in the State, is the function of a State board of equalization; and to perform this duty judiciously, men of sound judgment, large experience, and intimate acquaintance with the relative value of lands, should be selected. Here was a defect in the bill presented at the close of last session. From motives of I economy, perhaps, it was proposed that the board should be composed of State offi i cials at the capital, and that'thcy should de cide after hearing such testimony as was presented to them. However capable the I gentlemen suggested may be'to conduct the executive and financial business of the Commonwealth, it will Ire admitted that their agricultural experience on Capitol Square does not qualify them to decide up on the relative value of lauds in Fauquier and Washington counties ; while parties inter ested would be compelled to travel from their distant homes to meet the board at Richmond. The friends of equalization sought to have the board composed of one or more gentle men from each Congressional district in the State, who should lie chosen with special reference to their knowledge of lands throughout their own district, and also in I other districts. Before the day of meeting, j each of these gentlemen should visit every county in his district, acquaint himself I fully with all the facts necessary to aid him < in fixing the true ratio of valuation for lands j therein as compared with lands in each of the other districts, and thus be prepared to j from a correct estimate. The aggregate amount of assessments need not be changed, because such change | might reduce the amount of tax below that I necessary to meet annual State appropria- I j tions ; but if lands in A county are aSSCS c.! too high as compared with those in II county, the board would equalize by U ascertained per centage being deducted from . assessors valuation in A, and added to as sessors valuation in 13; so that each county would contribute its equitable quota of State tax. Unequal valuations of lands in one portion of a county as compared with lands m other portions of the same county, would, as now, be rectified by the county court, or other constituted local authority. A reassessment of lands throughout the State, as is proposed by some, will involve heavy expenditure, and tho result proba bly be quite as unsatisfactory as tho assess ment made in 1870. A State board of equalization, composed of gentlemen, selected with special refer ence to their qualifications for intelligent performance of their duties, would obviate the necessity for expensive reassessment, and yet equalize the burden of taxation, which is now distributed so unequally-tse tween the several counties. We trust this question will bo brought forward and fully discussed by our agricul tiual friends during the meeting of tho State Agricultural Society, this month. It is es sentially a farmers matter, one of recog nized importance to them, and their cx jressed wishes in relation to it, will have jotential influence upon the Legislature, which meets next December.

This article needc n» recommendation, for it re commends itself to every lady who sees it, being the most simple, eeisily adjusted, and perfect for its use ever introduced into the market. AH physicians recommend its use, and one whose name is known and respected on both sides of the ocean, buys and gives away large numbers of them to his patients, declaring that most var icose veins, weak and crippled lirabs can be traced directly to the stopping of the circulation In the lower limbs, (and consequently In the whole sys tem,) caused by the old ligature or garter. Being made entirely of elastic it never strings or wrinkles like cloth, but is as fiat and smooth after wearing for months as when first used, and yields with every motion, thus giving entire ease to the wearer. THE PROTECTOR ALONE IS WORTH THE I PRICE OF THE WHOLE ARTICLE. It is unnecessary to remove the stockings from the suspender except to change, and It is really less trouble than the old fashioned elastic. It keeps the stocking perfectly smooth without tear ing it, and does not injure the limb. Care should be taken that the whole article is large enough not to feel uncomfortable.
