The fact cannot be too forcibly repeated that the require ments of the times are not yet m6t. . - The Post officials here might.'avoid the censure which is heaped upon the Ashe ville post office, caused by the continued great carelessness in the delivery of let ters. Complaints about detention are numerous enough. Those of putting let ters in the wrong boxes are still more numerous, the result of carelessness in reading superscriptions. We have tak en no part in the sciainble for the ap pointment of a successor to the present incumbent.

Editor; Intyourissue of the 6th ins't I iind an article "over the nom de plume "Walter," concerning ihel finances of MadistKi county; and I hopeibe Cit- IlZENi 8 th ''fearless Jiriend of the pod citizens of Wes'tera Carolina," MadUotras well as any pthersection: Ithat .you will give space in the- colurnha pfVo.ur- paper to a'tax-p'ayer, (and one who has. never given the. -tax-collector ahv trouble In cof- lecting;C3n' Walter", say " as much?), for a few remarks, as a reply to tlie article above referred to. '' No w- j do not jjrQpose to vindicate the cohnnissioners of Madison county in all things they have ddfteTn th last four or five years; rieither do "I pro pose to denounce them as being guilty of "high' handed : fraud" because they have not done all lyings w ell , during the la6t four or five-.years.'because. iri the main. they have.. dorte ineir dutv,l anrt ielieVV uiiuci me utcumsiances couia nave aone no better .-1 At the time the present board of -' Cothniissioners were elected, the finances of .Madison county 'were in bad JrBSuf "the ''streets of Mar- ehall at from 10 to accents Sri thfeldoU Iar,- the pubherofnees of the county Were irt desperate condition, -being wanting in regularity and. books upon which to keep ue proper recpros. 1 he county was with out a poor house and a jail, and the' court house was . very much out; of repair and in addition to all this, there was an out standing debt of frojn ten to twenty thous and dollars. The present board of com missioners have met the current expenses of the county, supplied the deficiencies, as found in the several offices .of the county, repaired the court house, built a poor house, an iron bridge across the French Broad at the town of Marshall, and have almost completed a : new jail, and all this, too, without raising poll tax, higher ' than three dollars. "the outstanding debt -has been satisfac torily met under the provisions of anact passed by the late legislature allowing .the commissioners- of Madison tp. settle the public debt of the same. But, "Walter" says the commissioners levied a special tax in 'S4 to pay of the county's outstand ing indebtedness. Now this is a mistake and 6hows that he is very much wanting in information as regards this matter. The commissioners levied, it is'true' enough, a special tax in '83. and '84,'under the pro visions of an act passed by the legislature of '83. authorizing them, to levy a special tax, of an amount not to exceed sixteen thousand dollars. This tax was to be levied for thepurposesT :-$f buildlrig jail, repairing the court House, buildmg bridge across the French Broad at the town of Marshall and for paying the out standing indebtedness of the county. It is also true enough that the commissioners in 04 declared a dividend among the cred itors of the county of 33 per. cent, but .owing w ine increasea purrenii expenses of the county, they were-unable"'to "corhply with their declaration in this matter; and consequently it is true they have bonded the outstanding debt of the county to Yuri 10 years, at 6 per cent.: interest, payable annually, and in order to meet the interest annually and the principal at maturity, and to payhejemiiinderolhejail',And bridge debf; they have this year ('85) levied a spcUat tax pf one dollar on the poll and one dollar on every -three hundred dollars worth of property, and this amount con stitutes the entire special tax levied for the year of '85. Now. remember .that" almost every dollar of the outstanding indebted ness of the county, prior to the bonding of uie same,- was entered at o per cent., so that you can see that the bonding of the debt cannot in any way, so far as the Inter est is concerned, made it more burdensome to the taxpayers of the county, but has gone a long . way :to place wrthe county , on a . firmer . -. financial basis, its bonds now being worth from 80 to 90 cents in the dollar, whereas, be fore, tne county paper was not worth, and could not be sold for 40 cents in the dollar. . . ' But "Walter" says when the comims sioners met in 1885, to again consider the tax matter, they cud not reduce the tax J as they said they. M ould dofi but raised the poll from $3 tb : $3. ' Now, Messrs. Editors, this is a mistake, and I am sur prised to hear such statements from one, who, I think, knows ; to the "contrary. Let truth prevail at all hazards Poll tax is not $3 50 but it is $3 30, the addi tional 30 cents is a special tax for public road purposes, which, according to the act allowing its levy aniT 'cbllection, is to be: collected by tb,e Sheriff and accounted for as other taxes, and paid to the town ship trustees to be expended in the keep ing up and building of roads. I cannot see why friend "Walter" finds so many serious objections to the levying; 'collect-r in g and expending of this special road tax, lor it is certainly the most necessary tax that can be' given to the people of yv estern Carolina ny legislation or oth er- wise, and again, I cannot see why he objects to this special road tax or any other tax, if all statements concerning him are true, I am informed, by eood authority, that he owes the county of Madison abu:fortheyearoflS84,and will not pay U and I am also informed, that ho is not a citizen of North Carolina, but a citizen of Kentucky, and "has listed his property and poll tax in that State. Now, Messrs. Editors, as. regards the levy and collection of taxesspecial or otherwise, if those taxes are used for the express purpose of meeting the legitimate demands of the county, I am of th e opinion that it ought to be the policy of all good citizens to pay those taxes with out murmuringor? without denouncing .1 X- , . I J T .J. 1 me owciais 01 tne county , ana especially the commissioners, as being guilty of allowing a certairi "ring' and a "radical or two'? to monopolize the , whole tax for their own private use. AS regards this "ring" of which friend ." Walter'.' speaks, I had always been taught, that itrwas composed of democrats and 'republicans alike; but from his statements, on would infer, that it is (if it exists . at ajJ) com posed wholly of democrats now if jthis was trtiet it would, cast an everlasting re flection upon, the- democracy of Madison. : Biit I aln ipe.rsiiaded better things pf the dempcratic and -republican parlies 'of Madison county. s I do. ndt- believe that such ring exists or ever 'has existed in the county of Madison; but I do believe that every cent, f 4ax ' that has been levied upon and collected from the tax- fayers of Madison county, has been used egitimately; and I further believe, that the present board of commissioners ia the best board we have had since the war our county is in a more prosperous con dition, now, financially, than it has been at any time during the tast twenty years. Then I say, why should "Walter" mur mur? Why should any one? There is no jnst reason for it. More anon.,- J I am yours with respect, - - PHILO. Lee, 2. C, August ISth, 1SS5. EM The GalxD Comuanp .

Norfolk, "Ya., but soon af ter arrival was taken down with typhoid, fever, which resulted bo sadly on the date stated above. He was a young man of excellent character, splendid physique, and fine habits, jwas genial and warm hearted as the sons of tne Emerald Isle always are, and made many riends in, this city during his short ' stay tbis spring. ; .' ' '. ' "Messrs. Loughran of this city hastened to Baltimore on receipt of telegrams stat ing the immediate danger of their broth er. Unfortunately they arrived too late to see him alive, and only had the mel ancholy satisfaction of being present at the last rites of one to whom they Were so dearly attached. The funeral took place on Saturday the 15th inst. at 2:30' p. m., a very large concourse of people attending, all of whom united with, the family in sincere but not demonstrative grief. ' Ir Loughran 1 was a member of St. Vincent'aJyceum of Baltimore,, and. was buried- from St. Vincent's ' Church.' There were eight pall bearers, members of the same society, and Father , Dido delivered a most impressive sermon, and closed the last sad chapter in this most ' estimable young man's life. . Mr. Lough ran was engaged to be married to a charming young lady of Baltimore, and ' another most touching circumstance of the event ";was the fact that it called to gether: the entire family who had not : been together, for nearly i twenty-two years.
