The people the parents who have chil dren to be educated should place a high estimate upon the faithful teach ers of their children. Good pay is absolutely essential to secure good teaching. : The menVho are serving North Carolina better than any other class, save the ministry, are the teachers who are furnished amply and are devoted to their woik. Surely the workman is worthy of his hire. t It pains us to know that so many aithful instructors'. of youth are ap- preciateaso titiie. iub iw mimiui teachers of our boyhood have a very tender place in our memories. When we think over their names blessing and thanksgiving ' arise instantly I in their behalf from . our lips and. from out hearts. 'The faithful teacher!; God bless him always! ,' He is the best friend of youth next to mother and father.- Let him be honored al ways 1 What is of supreme import ance, let him be well paid. 1 : ; : We are reminded of this when we. read a passage' in . a' private ; letter rom a distinguished teacher who has had charge of one of the State Normal Schools lately. The Stab .has tried to aid the cause of eduoation in , the past and it will work in the same direction in the ' future.1 - It is not weary of well doing. . But to the pas sage in the letter. . ilt is too touching and important to be thrown aside. Although intended for our eye only we lay it before the eye of a discerning and an interested public' Our friend writes: - . - 'Tt ia nnA nf the createst needs of North Carolina that her peopleBhould be stirred up on the subject of edncalion, and such re- BUlt seems impossiDie wunoui ine aia oi toe press.- - ' I ' "' v ' .

More than once the Stab has dis cussed the great importance of chang ing the plan of assessing the value of property. We are well satisfied that f the taxable property was assessed airly and the incomes of the people were honestly rendered that the reve nue would be enhanced fully fifty per cent. In other words, wo are assured in our own mind that the revenues of the State would be increased at leant fifty per cent, if there was more ho nesty among the people, and a system of assessing . was adopted that was thorough, equitable and equal. ' ' Who believes that the .taxes paid in by any county are what thev ought to be ? Who believes that the articles liable to be taxed are given in always with fairness ? Who be lieves that the present ; system is approximately perfect, or that it can hot be improved very much ?, ,We do not suppose there is a good busi ness man in Wilmington who believes that .the .taxes of New Hanover county: are what the law" contem- other words, . that ' the taxes are not as large as the incomes and property would; justify or de mand. J , ; , : .; .. i 1," " i ' Our Raleigh evening contempo rary, the Visitor has a judicious editorial on. the necessity of having a State Revenue Board for the pur pose of making the assessment equal and fair, and of thus insuring larger returns and greater satisfaction. It says : '; "So far as tbti assessment of property for taxation is concerned, it seems to us that the present plan is mere euess' wotk. What is needed in North Carolina is a . de partment, or Revenue Board for the assess ment and proper arrangement of all sub jects of j taxation. The establishment of such a bureau would not only more than compensate for any expense attend sat upon its operations, but would largely increase the receipts of taxes under the present as sessments. There can be no doubt that under existing provisions there is extreme looseness. It is highly essential that in dis tributing the burdens of : taxation every man should share alike in proportion to bis effects. It is a noticeable fact that this is not so, and the cause consists in not having a properly regulated system of assessments. It is not proper, in any view of the case, that a matter of so much importance should be left to mere guess and chance." We indorse this. A change" of some kind is needed; This appears to be as good as any that could be suggested. There has been far . too much looseness, far too much inequali ty. ; It applies to the valuation of property of all kinds, and to the sys tem applying to merchants, fco, The Visitor is practical and says: m "We believe that in the assessment of every piece of real estate for taxation some thing more than the mere purchase price ' shouia ne tasen into consideration. Loca tion, circumstances, and other considera tions should enter into the case. A piece of property which is valued at $1,000 to day may, by some surroundings,-be worth ooubie the sum in a year hence, and ttee una. j. -.3 ' Every one knows that there is much complaint that the receipts from mer chandise is less than was anticipated. It is believed by those who know most about suoh things that the State loses tens of thousands of dollars in taxes from merchandize, &c.,j that ought to have been collected. Guess work is resorted to, or worse in many cases, j A reform, a change must come soon or ' late. We believe an efficient board of honest men could do a great deal in remedying the evilj in equalizing the -taxes and in increasing the revenues of the Slate. The law ' needs to be changed no doubt. There )s a ' gjreat- deal of hedging and dodging. TVBANN IT AND JUBNEyOEjEIf PB. ; There are twp complaints made in the Northern papers, both, of whic appear to be well taken. i The first is that the ' treatment of the assassin Guiteau js not in a20or4anoe with law and justice. It is argued that he has a right to be visited by his friends anj legal; connseU This is the position taken by Judge Hoar, and he if in4 dorsed by the papers, or : many of them. ' The other ease is that of the unfortunate English actor, Henry F. Fairweather, of whose touching mis fortunes we : published a short ac- count, tie- was in a strange land. poor,withot money, with aldestitute family in JLngland.' He has a ;ne musipal yoice an4i he began singin'g it the public squares of New-Vork city He was arrested, taken before Judg0 Bixy, of ' the police court, and sen-r ienoed :toTsix f months in the work house. ; His only : offence - beirjg; as Btated singing to keep from star vt ing, and singing: well, What a hein ous crime in a free country 1- And yet iall ove w york there are villaihs in broadcloth with faoilleas linen who have stolen and played the scoundrej generally,who hob-nob probably with this very Judge. The victim is Well educatadi.of very geqteel appearance, sober and unfortunate. No wonder there was profound indignatioa. : great was it he was released.- It is a pity Bijy cannot be made to take-bis ciat tyranny. : vo- i.rrj Also mentioned, as a uleasins . ' " ; ccumstance connected' with : the r actor, that he had received help ' in money and a good place had beeu offered him. Say; what yottiwill of those' Northern people there is a vast deal of genuine, human nature in them, and they are as benevolent and kind as any people in the world. We must nut judge allby the .infamous exceptions. 'I We must ;not estimate the " great"' North", TbXBTxy's The North makes a mistake of this kind in judging the South. .They estimate a whole people by the unfortunate . ex ceptions by a few bad men or a few very extreme men. . All that, is lack ing to bring about a real and general J'good feeling - is i know each other bette'r.
