hero is no power to assess and col
taxes in Pennsylvania, unless con-
ii by act of Aasumbly ; and the
-et of taxation, and t he otjccts
v hich it is to be imposed, are gen
v designated in the statute. Tlio
Mature has from time to time
:'ully defined the powers and du
of the school boards, and if tlio
base of books is a purl thereof,
: I' s directors are authorized to pro
or them for the use of common
el., ils, they must poetess the power
o y for them out of the common
4 fund. If they bave no power
o I -jy, they cannot levy a tax to pay
jt t o nnauthorized purchase.
1 ':. school directors are required to
si !ish a sufficient number of schools
in thuir districts to educate all ot
- hildren therein, between certain
who shall apply for admission.
At i vet this they are authorized to
e;.t or build a sufficient number ot
ui; -,'jle school house; to purchase or
ent rround for that purpose : to levy
tax sot exceeding a certain per cen-
a -c on the county and state assess

icl tbe same, not exceeding the
mount of State and county taxes au
horizud by law ; to purchase all the

ourd, or oilier person connected with
lie common schools, can be interested
i t! furnishing of books, stationery

viva any compensation to promote

Under the power to provide the

o:n the board has full authority to

eki, stoves, and other apparatus to

jo school books and stationery lor
Molars, and assess and collect
act from the property of the district
rrf for them, or make payment
ut of tbe school fund? That they
ia levy ' no taa for this epeoial pur.
ope it very clear, as the objects for
l ick the-same may be laid: is care
illy specified, with the highest
aoiinl for each object. It ia said
- the directions furnished by the
4 Superintendent at No. 227, iu
..uuiorating the purposes of expen
iture, after correctly staling them
em-rally, and "books for indigent
"en." We can find no warrant
i jy actof Assembly now in force to
sMa'i this item. Under the law as

!, general school system, the com
:ii-vnera of the county were re
to pay for the education of in-
.; ,t children, including the neces

i.is.ion. But if in force it must be
I!owed; tbe requifrite p.-oof luid be
td the county commissioners, and
is county at largo, and not the
ht'ol district, pays tho expense.
'(m- hly the item may be sanctioned
r iiae nuttue, but ii so it has esca
ed our observation. Tbe tax now
ro:;'litin question is not levied for
lie benefit ol the indigent, but to pro
n iv !ooksof a certain description for
U the scholars of the district It
mti'id seem to bo a separate tax to
ore use books. There is certainly
of jTess power of that character
'4 on the school board, nor
:tn it exist by implicaion. It might
f i-;. I'cient tor this court todetermine
ki there is no authority either to

highly inexpedient. The fact that
county commissioners were authorized
to purchaso books for the indigent,
has been used as an argument to show
that school diroctors possess the same
power; but in our opinion a contrary
inference should bo drawn from that
enactment. It shows that when the
Legislature designed to authorize
such purchase, it was done in express
words. The school board does not
pretend to confine its action to the
"indigent," but to buy all tho books
used in the schools.
It must be borne in mind that not
more than one half of the people have
the benefit ot those expenditures; at
least one-fourth of the tax-payers
have no children to educate, and an
other fourth do it at their own ex
pense. There is not much justice in
heavily taxing one-half tbe communi
ty, for the sole benefit of the other
hair. VV e have already said that no
power it conferred on the directoia
to purchase books for tht use of the
schools, and this idea is strengthened
by the provisions to buy for a school
lihrary, which is expressly conferred
where the fundsare voluntarily raised,
but in no event is any of the public
money to be expended. The director
are only used ai instruments lor se
lection and purchase. We are clear
ly of the opinion that the purchase of
books lor public nse, it set lorth in
tht stated case, wa illegal. The tax
assessed to pay therfore is unauthor
ized, and cannot ba collected. There
fore judgment it entered against the
defendant for thirteen dollars only
and the cost, as per tbe agreement
in the case tubmitted. here the
tax has been paid voluntarily, it can
not be recovered back.

Among the people who came to
market one afternoon was a citizen of
Wes'. Jersey. He brought a stock of
eggs and butter. In a big coop in
tbe rearmost part of his wagon he
had a splendid peacock, whose tail
spread out, beautiful even to gori;o-
ousness, like the trail of a lady's dress.
An iriNhinan passing, he observed the
splendid plumage of the bird, and
asked its price. "The can have it
lor fifteen dollars," was the reply of
the owner, whose garb indicated him
as a member of the Society of Friends.
'That's a good price," was the inter
rogative remark of the Celt, as he
smoothed the ample tail of the feath
ered biped. "There are plenty of poo.
pie who will give that lor linn, was
the placid and very true rejoinder.
Tht Celt surveyed the bird, admired
bis proportions, but still endeavored
to cheapen him. "Mister," said he
at last, "people say these birds have a
bad voice." "I have nothing to snr
about their voices," was tht quiet re
ply. "If thee wants tht fowl thee
can take it; if the doesn't, iu voice
doesn't make any difference to thee."
But," ears the Uelt, "don t them
birds hollow like the devil !" "Friend,"
was the placid reply, "thee probably
in that respect baa tht advantage
over me. Thee evidently has acquain
tance that I have not. Ii thee thinks
that the scream of this bird ia like to
that of thy friend, whom thee has
named, 1, in my ignorance, will not
presume to contradict thee." The
next minute the Celt was at an oppo
site stall in the market buying a bunch
of carrots. lie bought no peacock on
that day.
Grant's predicted bloodshed and
murder in the South has commenced,
but not in the style he prophesied or
desired. Mr. N. . Thomas, editor
of tbt Choctaw (Ala.) Herald, was
murdered in cold blo nl by two Radi
cal whose evil deeds he bad truthful
ly exposed in the columns of his paper.
Why don't the Radicals bowl over
this atrocious act f Tbey would, we
presume bad the murdered man been
a negro or a "carget-baggor" Being
a Democrat, bis death is to them a
matter not worthy of even passing
comment.

The following message from tho
President, vetoing the Arkansas bill,
was sont to the Hump Uouso on tho
Zlst.
To the House of Representatives: I
return without my signature a bill en
titled an act to admit the State of Ar
kansas to representation in Congress.
Tbt approval of this bill would be an
admission on the part ol the Execu
tive that tho "act for the more effi
cient government of the rebel Slates,"
passed thereto, were projier and con
stitutional. My opinion, however, in
reference to these measure has un
dergone no change, but on thteontra-
ry has been strengthened by lhe re
sults which have attended their exe
cution.
Even were this not the case, I would
not consent to a bill which is based
upon the assumption either that by
an act of rebellion or a portion of its
people the State of Arkansas seceded
from tbe Union, or ihuiuongress may
at its pleasure expel or exclude a
State from the Uuion, or interrupt
the uovurnment, by arbitrarily depri
ving it ot representation in the-Senatt
and House of Representatives. If
Arkansas is a State net in tbe Union,
this bill does not admit her as a State
into the Union. If on the other band
Arkansas is a Slate in the Union, no
legislation is necessary to declare her
entitled to repreentaiion in Congress
as one of the Slates of tbt Union.
The Constitution already declare
that "each State shall have at least
one Representative," that tbe Senate
"shall bs composed of two Seuators
from each State;" and "that no State,
without it consent, shall be deprived
of it equal suffrage in tbt Seuute."
That instrument also nukes euch
House the judge of tbe elections, re
turns and qualifications ot it own
members, and llieruloie all that is now
necessary to restore Arkansas in all
ils constitutional relations to tho Gov
ernment is a decision by each House
upon the oligihility of those who, pre
senting their credentials, claim scuts
in the respective bouse of Congress.
This is the plain and simple plan of
the Constitution, and believing that
had it been pursued when Congress
assembled in the month of December,
l!C5, the restoration of the Stales
would long si nee have been completed,
I once aguin earnestly recommend
that it be adorned by each House in
preference to legislation which I res
pectfully submit is not only of at least
dniihtiil ronstiMiiinnahty, ana there
fore unwise and dangerous a a pre
cedent, but i unnecessary, and not so
effective in its operations as the mode
proscribed by the Constitution, in
volves additional delay, and from its
terms may bt taken rather as appli
cable to a territory about to bt admit
ted a one of tht United States, than
a State which bas occupied a place in
tht Union tor upwards of a quarter of
a century. The bill declares tht State
of Arkansas entitled and admitted to
representation in Congress, at ono of
the States of tht Union, upon tht fol
lowing fundamental conditions : that
tht Constitution of Arkansas ahull
never be so amended or changed at to
deprivo any citizen orclassof citizens
of tbe United States ot tht right to
vote by the Constitution herein recog
nized except as punishment for such
crimes as are now felonies at common
law, whereof tbey shall have been du
ly convicted under laws equally ap
plicable to all the inhabitants ol said
State, provided that any alteration of
said Constitution, prospective in lis
c fled, msy be made in regard to the
timu and pluco of residence of voter.
1 havo been unable to find in the Con
stitution of tht United States any
warrant for the exorcist of tbt au
thority thus claimed by Congress, for
assuming the power to impose a fun
damental condition upon a State
which ha been duly admitted into
tho Union on an equal footing with
tbe original Slates, in all respects
whatever. Congress assert a right
to enter a Stato as it may a territory,
and to regulate the highest preroga
tive of a free people, the elective fran
chise Tht question is reserved by
tht Constitution to tht States them
selves, and to concede to Congi oss the
power to regulate tliis subject would
be to reverse the fundamental princi
ple Of the republic, and to plat in
the hands of tht Federal Government,
which is tht creulure of tht States,
the sovereignty which justly belongs
to the Slate or the people, tho true
source of all political power, by whom
our Federal system was created, and
to whose will It it subordinate. The
bill fails to provido in what manner
the State of Arkansas ia to signify ils
acceptance of the fundamental condi
tion which Congress endeavored to
niaka unalterable and irrevocable;
nor does it prescribe the penalty to be
imposed, should tht people of the
State amend or change the particular
portion of llit Const. tution which it
is ont of tbt purposei of tht hill to
pcrpctuatt, but as to tht consequences
of such action, leaves thorn in uncer
tainty and doubt.
When the circumstances under
which tbit Constitution hat been
brought to the attention of Congress,
it is not unreasonable to suppose that
efforts will bt made to modify il pro
vision, ard especially thewt in res
pect to which this measure prohibit
any alteration.
It it seriously questioned whether
the (Constitution has been ratified by
a majority of tht persons who, under
tht act of March Zd, 1PU, and the
act supplementary thereto, were en
titled torecistraiion, and to voteopon
that issue. Section 10 of the ti hedolt
provide that no person disqualified
from voting or regisloritig under tht
Constitution shall vote for candidates
for any office, nor shall bt permitted
to vote for tlio ratification or rejection
of tRe Constitution at the poll herein
authorized, and assumed to be io force
before it adoption. In disregard of
the law ot Congress tut Constitution
undertakes to impose npon tho elec
tors other and further, conditions.
Tho fifth section of the eighth article
provides that all persons, before reg
istering or voting, must take and sub
scribe an oath, which, among others,
contains the following clause: "ISut
I accept the civil and political equali
ty of all mon, and agree not to attempt
to deprivo any person or persons on
account of rave, color or previous con
dition of any political or civil right,
privilege or immunity oiyujovi by any
otiier class of men." ,
It is well known that a very large
portion of the electors in all the Stales,
if not a large majority of all of them,
do not believe in or accept tho politi
cal equality of Indians, Mongolians
or negroes with the race to which
they belong. If the voter in many
of the State of the North and West
wore required to take such an oath a
a test of their qualifications, there it
reason to Dolieve that a majority of
tbeiu would remain from tht pulls
rather than comply with its degrading
conditions. How tar and to what ex
tent this test oulh prevented tht reg
istration of those who wort qualified
under tht laws of Congress, it is not
possiblt to know, but that tush was
its effect at least sufficient 10 over
come tht small and doubtful majority
in favor ot this Constitution, there
can be no reasonable doubt. Should
tht people of Arkanat.a, therefore, de
siring to regulalo tbe elective fran
chise so as to inuko it conform to tho
constitutions of a large proportion of
tbe Stales of tho Morth and West,
modify tho provision referred to in
the fundamental condition, what is to
bo the consequence ? Is it intended
that a denial of representation shall
fellow, and if so, may we not dread,
at some future day, a recurrence of
the troubles which have so long agi
tated the country f Would it not be
the part of wisdom to take for a guide
tho Federal Constitution, rather than
resort to measures which, looking on
ly to the present, may in a few years,
renew in an aggravated form, the
strife and bitterness caused by legis
lation which hus proved to bo so ill
limed tnd unfortunate.

We could not do without their merry
laugh, sportive activity and sweet
wholesome influence. What would
our lives bo without theirs sweetly
united to temper them f Our lives,
our homes would indeed be droury
and desolate; up pure, childish voices
to send musical echoes through the
otherwise lonely and empty halls.
Tho parlor, rich nnd costly in gsy fur
