Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1SS4. A House Bill for the establishment of a bureau f animal industry, wis before the Committee of the whole, Feb. 23d. Thtj object of the bill i to prevent the exportation of diseased rattle, and to provide means for the suppression and extirpation of pleuropneumonia and oth er coutagiou diM-aors among domestic animals. It is a bill in the especial in terest of cattle raisers, which as being i 2a -r 1 . nnnhU it . i ! I greater magnitude financially thaa ,c"1 oven the iron interest of the country, it is claimed is more worthy of Congress- ImmI nrotertion than that. The bill asks for an appropriation of $250,000 to carry tut its provisions, which may apply to 4nter-State commerce as well as trade witb foreign countries. "All umce enN t an w CI 99 I The Asheville Republican, a paper the politics of which is indicated by its name, lets up ou the Democratic party long enough to lay down this broad propoai tiou and make this positive assertion ; Coalition Republicans and Liberals are . -a 1 J t all office-seekers, and, wnen mixeu, umv make a dose the people cannot swallow. We have never known or heard of a Liberal who was not seeking some office, and we take it that the Republican party has enough office-seekers of it own. Jee Caldwell of the Statesville Land mark savs this is outre so far as it may t x F I the "Liberal party." They thought they were doing a patriotic thiag in bitching oq to the "liberals ;" they were not after office at all were not even thinking about it. So say we in regard to a num ber in Rowan count v. They were not i m office-seekers, but quiet people honestly desiring to vote right. But they were "tucked in and flkewise deceived" by the loud ranting of a few noisy "liberals," for a little while.

It will therefore be seeu that they are net properly chargeable, or ac countable, for the expenditure of the State and school taxes, aggregating $21,- 300. Having thus shown the amount and disposition of the State and school taxes, and to whom the responsibility for their expenditure attaches, I now come to the consideration of those taxes levied for county purposes, the supportof the poor, the courts and other expeuces incidental to county irovaruineut. for which the . a m or IZTl J883, is20 cents on the $100 of prop- erty and credits, aud 62 cents. on the poll, making a total tax of about $10,03 The disposition of this fund by the coun ty commissioners is shown by the second published annual statement of its secre tary, wherein every item of expenditure by the Board is given as required by law. By reference to this statement, it will be seen that the expeuses for 1883 were $0,519.31. This is the whole amount expended by the Board, and for which it is nronerlv-eharceable and ac- countable, together with any surplus in It 1- - f rr .11 .1 .

It is also evident from The above statements that the school committeemen aud the County Superintendent expeud a sum 70 per cent, larger thau is exended by the county commissioners, and nearly 40 per cent, greater than is expended for the whole county government by both the county commissioners aud the courts: and yet, your correspondent charges this whole expenditure to the account of the county commissioners. One of your correspondents alleges al so that his taxes have been increased one-third. Is this true? No doubt he thinks so, without reference to his tax receipts for the years 1878, 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1882.

In making the taxations less thau the appropriations, the commissioners, no doubt, designed to exhaust auy surplus funds on hand. This was perfectly legitimate, provided, tne deficiencies thus created did not exceed the amount of the surplus. To meet these deficiencies there was, in the bands of the 1 reasurer on the 31st October, 188, as verified by the finance committee, and recorded by them on that day, the sum of $3,788.79. This sum would be increas ed by the receipts of November and di minished by the expenditures ot that mouth, but as the balance in the two ac counts does not appear on the 30th Nov. 1 will take tor a comparison the accounts as they stood on the 31st October, 1882, and the 31st October, 1883. This com parison will not be unfair as the ex penditures iu October exceeded the re ceipts: Cash in Treasurer's bauds Oct. 31, 1882, I'o indebtedness to Sch'l fuad Balance ou hand $3,788 79 3,277 25 $511 54 $1,861 53 1.675Q0 Cash iu Treasurer's hands Oct. 31, '83, as verified and stated by finance com m tee. To indebtedness to taxes re ceived iu Oct. for 1884, Balance on hand, $186 53 It will be evident from the table and the above figures that, although there was collected for 1882 the sum of $10,- 211.55, and for 1883 the sum of $8,164.56, the former sum exceeding the latter by $2,046.99, yet the excess in the balauce on baud was only $325.01. But it has been asserted that there was a surplus in the school fund, in addition to the surplus ot $3,788.79 to the credit of the couuty fund. If this assertion is tree, then there was uo deficiency, perhaps, in the school fund, and consequently the necessity of transferring $3277.25 from the county fund to the school fend did not exist ! Was it necessary 1 The facts and figures speak for themselves. Ihe law required the whole amount of taxes collected for the school fund te be apportioned to the school districts, ou the 1st of January of every year, aud after this apportionment is made, it remains te the credit of the different school dis tricts, in proportion the u umber of school children iu each district. The Treasurer cannot pay it out ou any account, or for any district, except upon the certificate of the school committeemen of that dis trict, when countersigned by the County Superintendent. The County commis sioners neither have, nor can they have, auy control over it. The county com missioners 011 the 1st of January, 1882, apportioned the school fund. The sum collected, as the table exhibits, was $?, 350.75, but the sum apportioned was $10,628.00. Iu other words they ave to each child iu the county of school age $1.50, and they collected for each child only 80 cents. It is therefore evident that ou the 31st of Oct. 1882 there was not, neither could there have been, any sur plus to the credit of the school fund, un less k came from other sources unknown, and after the first of January. There were funds iu tho hands of the Treasurer belonging to certain school districts, but these funds had already been credited to those districts, and belonged entirely and exclusively to them. TheTreasurer could not transfer these funds to auy other accouut without a sacrifice of his official boud, and making himself liable to indictment for malappropriation. The commissioners, therefore, paid this $3, 277.25 out of the county funds. But, per haps, it will make the matter more intel ligible and satisfactory to show the amount of money iu the bauds of the r reasurer to the credit of (he school dis tricts ou the 3lst of Oct., 1882, and 31st 01 uct., 1883 : Oct. 31, '82, cash on hands to credit school districts $2,261.40 uct. 41, 8.1, cash on hands to credit school districts 2,570.87 i :n .1 1 . . 11 vui inus oe seen mat mere was a larger bulauce on 31st of Oct. 1883, te the cteait of the school districts thau 00 the 31st of Oct. 1882. This balance, inatead ot being a source of gratification aud con gi -at illation, indicates a cnTpable remiss ness ou the part of the commissioners, or those in charge of this fuud, and the children ot the couuty are the sufferer lhe whole sum should be expended each year for their education ; and, the larger the expenditure, it intelligently aud iu diciously applied, the greater the benefits resulting the reform. If the question was asked, whether the taxes were not higher this year than last, 1 should reply that they were, for the following good and sufficient reasons : 1 he taxes levied in 1882 for 1883 were insufficient, as I have already shown, to meet the appropriations for that year, and the dencincy thus created exhausted the surplus funds on baud. If, therefore, the same levy had been madeiu 1883 for 1884, the school fund would have been inade quate, aud there was no surplus from winch this insufficiency could be drawn. aud hence the school childreu could not have had apportioned to them $ 1 .50 each. The commissioners, therefore, the first Monday in June, 1883, when the law re quires the taxes to be laid, increased the levy for schools, so as to ensure to each school child its $1.50. This increase was based upon the valuation of all the prop erty and credits in the county, amount ing at that date to $3,216,142 By an act of the Legislature the commissioners were required to have a re-assessment made in Juue and July following, of all the prop-1 1 1 i mi q erty mm ci cuius or me pouuty, 1 111s as sessment when completed the 1st of Au gust showed a valuation of property and credits amounting te $3,861,878 an in crease over the former assessment of $645,736. This was an unexpected and a meet gratifying result, as it places Ho wan among the most progressive eouu- I e . 1. 0. ... . .1 . , mb ui 1 no ouue. as tne property ana credits had increased, so also would the taxes, based upon this property and these credits, necessarily increase. It was not possible for the commissioners, when they assembled on the 1st Monday in June to levy the taxes for the ensuing year, to have known what the result of that assessment would be. Whatever surplus may arise from this increase and an economical administration can be ap plied to diminishing the taxation in 1884. Scotch Ibish. THE VERY BEST. The "P.

Kendall Co., Gentlemen Having had an opportunity of seeing your "Treatise on the Horse" this Summer for the first time I was induced to try your Kendall's Spavin Cure on a valuable horse that had been lame since the first of April, from a bone Spavin. I had blistered it several times and concluded that my horse would never get over" being- lame. Five weeks ago to-day I commenced using Ken dall's Spavin Cure and after using it three weeks the lameness entirely disappeared. It has been worth $80.00 to me. H. H. HorsE. Mount Prairie, Minn., Sept. 24, 1883. Dr. B. J.
