We regret our excellent friend Capt Patton should opposa a graded schocl for fear taxes should become burdensome Upon ibis point we will refer to his let tef in another column. Ate taxes really high in Asheville ? high enough to be considered a burden ? The rated value of the property of Ashe ville is, using Capt Patton's figures, $4,000,000, and that on, in general, a low assessment. The levy is only 80 cents on one hundred dollars' worth of prop erty for all citv purposes, including inte rest on a city d"ebt of 8140,000. The man who owns $100 worth property pays 80 cts. 200 worth, $1 40 500 worth, 4 00 1000 worth, 8 00 It is easy to carry the calculation on, and multiply the number of thousands the person owns' by eight, which will give the number ol dollars in taxes he or she must pay on that property. Consid ering the tax they or any individual pays, does he not receive for more than return by the enhancement of his property in street improvements and all improvements and conve- veniences made and afforded, and the consequent attractions to the city of visitors and residents and industries Is his burden any where equal to the benefits fhis. we think; -reasonable 4ax has j-secured for . Mia r v'taHtns meosttam ' nwm $500 or a $1,000 property. - His tax in, ti or $3. Have not the improvements in thi city, brought about by these taxes and the attraction of capital and popula-v lion inciueni tnereto, not omy enuancea his own. but secured for him regular and constant labor at fair atsd cashprices ? Suppose we had a 1ot& leyyof Taxes, a I A . e . i ' . . V . low assessment oi property, no improve ments, and our working people couid only secure occasional jobs, would not 25 cents per hundred be much harder to pay than the 80 cents now ? We under take to say Af heville can show more good improvements for the money ahe has expended than any place we have ever visited : and it is this fact as much as any other that has attracted and con tinues to attract population, enterprise, investment, which enhances the value of propertv, gives labor employments and secures for our city its name as one of the progressive cities of the country. With all these no one can deny t'iat Asheville needs a first-class ten months public graded school for her preuent and increasing population, and as an addi tional attraction. Now how much more is this to cost us? On every one thous and dollars' worth of propertv $1.66. Will any citizen who owns one thousand dollars' worth begrudge . one dollar and si xty-six cents tax for such a purpose 7 We know Capt. fatton will not, nor can we believe anv others will. Well, $1 .66 added to his $8.00 will not be an unbear able burden, considering the blessings to be conferred, and more selhshly speak ing, the benefits to accrue to the proper ty holders by virtue of the attractions such a school as this fund will . provide will arive to our citv. Let us all vote to-day. and vote for the tax. Give ns a good free school, well equipped, well managed, and to be open for t.pn months in the year. If Ashe vill's boom is to be maintained, if she is to continue to grow, we must have this school, sooner or later and : why- not now as well as later. Let us vote for the school.

The eyil, of excessively heavy tax, stares us in the face this ?ear more than ever before, and let us be alow to act so as not :o increase our burdens. Who ought to vote lor tnls tax? Should the white men ? I answer no. because it js unjust to impose a heavy tax oil them, when a large proportion goes to educate the col ored children, whose parents hardly pay anv of the tax. I Should the colored men vote for it ? No, because it can never be to their in terest to impose a burden on the white Deople, on whom they depend for most of their employment. ( The intelligent colored man knows that be gets more than his legitimate proportion of the State school (ax, and thla should satisfy him. Moreover he cannot impose a burden on his white neighbor without putting on himself a tax, which although light in comparison, is heavv when con sidering his small means. Besides I can hardly believe the laboring colored men are willing to increase even their noil tax to improve the condition of the few colored teachers amongst us, especially when these teachers now get enough to educate the colored children in all Eng lish branches. Mv advice to them is to send tneir emidren to scnool and reap their fnlLsdMwo of t-Le -ta piovlded by the State, bat do not increase the already heavy tax both on themselves and their employers for which there can be.no necessity whatever. i-or the reasons I have tried to set forth above ItJiall not vote, and I horn a large majority of the registered voters will proceed with their ordinary work, and stay away from the polls.

When thi3 formality iv:t3fver, Mr. Allen advanced and addressed the President in the fol- fiawiiifjf words " "'"Mr. PA sident, this delegation represents merchants, manufact urers, physicians, bankers and men of business generally of Kansas City, who have turned aside from our daily avocations to be the bear er tor yourself and Mrs- Cleveland oi this" invitation over their own signatures. of 21,000 citizens of the city or.

Many buildings have stood for pan. turies without beiny harmpH I 11 fi icnrn at last destroyed by lightning, llowof- , wu uo we see great torest trees that have been, recently, literally destroyed by lightning, that had escaped for centuries. If it were true that long exemption is a reliable guarantee of future security, we would never see such a thing as a vene rable old tree shivered from top to bot tom, or an old building, that has escaped for centuries, thus destroyed The facts are, a building may be destroyed before it is completed, as is frequently the case, or it may stand a century or more with out being harmed, and tlien be destroy ed, or it may decay by the action of the wenther without ever being harmeJ bv lightning. J The great philosopher, Lichtenberg, of Gottingen, said in the year 1794;.'Peo pie are struck and their dwellings are destroyed by lightning because they will have it so. It does not matter to us whether parsimony, carelessness, ino rrnce, or anything else is the canse of this." Von Otto Buchner, of Weimar, Germany, asserts "that this dictum mav be equally applied to the present genera tion."
