He never rubbed himself in a slouching fashion against us in the ordinary contact of life. The Jtidici-ary-wc mean the Federal Judiciary was an admirable tribuual for specified emergencies, not a Pie-powlre conn, to which any-body'could1 resort.

As to taxes, there were' none. Tliere were tarifis, and, some pretty severe ones, but no direct no inquisitorial annoyance.

Suchvi6as -the Federal authority in days when there was jjeace, and social affection, and union in its true sense. We have'hardly the heart to draw the contrast with to-dayj and the optimist whocliallenges us to his 'comparison will scarcely insist on our.doing so. He as well as wc do, what Fedcralauthotity now. It is everywhere, and, noMicre more distressingly thaniin, its interference with the business relations of the community. The Federal Tax-collector is at both our elbows.

He demands an account of our income, if we have any; he makes us pay for drawing our. pittance' out of bank; and we cannot light a match to guide us to bed liout beins conscious of his presence.) Let no one then.rcpeat the question, in wliat dogs the increase of Federal poKertlSnT It is here, there and rAw for this there is no equivalent in the beneficent invigorntiou of tills thing known as the Nation." And wliat is the penalty we are paying for this showyiand pernicious imposture The first is an actual revolution in our institutions. Ko one can honestly or pn-tend that the govcriuncnt.DfJ'I69, with Jls cliecks and balances, is, inuy sense tlugovcruinent we have now. 'to thosa who were bred iqi in reverence for the reationsof the past, this is no slight infliction. Then, we have the consciousness tliat our locjl aflairs are liable at auy moiuest to alien interference that we cannot conduct our elections except under the supervision of strangers, hacked by, the dread power of a hired soldier'.

Our fiscal institutions, which once were subjected to local control, are all swept away by Federal action into a whirlpool of national hanking, the final drill of which no one can. measure. We had the privilege of the great Writ of Miki ty, issua-ble'by the humblest Slate judge, and which the highest Federal authority was bound to obey; It is all qnne. The States imagined themselves five military intrusion, and, except wlien tho Legislature, or, in. its absence, the? Governors, solicited its action, the Federal soldier was as alien as the soldiery of Great IJrit.iin.

Now. Congress and the Executhe together claim iind exercise, not by express authority, but byiinference, the right to thrust, their soldiers amongst us whenever certain Federal political exigencies arise and the righia if certain favored classes are called in question. Of course all these intrusions, if submitted to, as they now seem to be, will take lie name of law. They are assuming that consistency now, and unless, beforo'loiiR, the alembic in which the metals of old pol-iiics are fused is not broken ami the alchemists driven away, we shall find ourselves Ihmoiichk' the slaves fthu new evil Genius of Centralism wliicli is to bit conjured up." 3 Convention atjjihge elatea aiul united the party.

We give these-facts to.show the necessi-f ty qf refening all survei-s made by a com-jiass to the true jlate of the survey be given and a table of the secular variation fceptin the locality of the survey. Thelas is" not 'fo be relieiT upon in consequence of other changes- to which which changes are known laws.

Such' are those which roccudirriug thkpreya-t' leuce of a thunder storm, or when the needle is in close proximity to iron ore, -or rocK, -or during tne appearance of the Aurora Borealis. There is also a diurnal change, or- daily variation, the needle sometimes in a northern hemisphere moving over an area of Jrom 10 seconds to 15 seconds eight $clock in the morning till two In the even ing. JThere is also a difference in variation between summer and winter, being much greater in summer. With, all these impediments in the way of making an accurate survey, we do.not at the difficulties that practical surveyors meet with in running old lines; neither is ii surprising that so many law suits and disputes arise Iwtween persons owning contiguous farms. When land was abundant and cheap there was no necessity for such great accuracy; but at present prices, and when permanent rock arid cedar fences are beiug built, it is of the utmost importance to the land oyrner that his possession 1)6 fixed by something more constant than the magnetic meridian.

It is as shifty and restless as, a cloud, and operated upon by numerous hidden and unseen We therefore thauk Mr. Trousdale for his foiieslght In thus striving to provide against future litigation and vexation. The bill proposes in its first section that the County Court in each county may, in its discretion, have established at, or near the county scat meridian line of one lulf mile in length, the termini of which shall be designated by planted stones with the exact point on each stone marked with an or otherwise durably engraved. To this Bcction two amendments are necessary; one to ensure the operation of the law, and the other to provide for a more careful and accurate record of the variation i in the magnetic meridian. If the establishment of such a line is left optional with the County Courts, not six siich lines will be established in the whole State.

The public mind does not run on questions of science, and however great the advantage to be derived from it, and they are great, a majority of the magistrates in the State, unacquainted as they are with the reasons for the establishment of such a line, will be unwilling to appropriate money for that purpose. This is a case in which the superior intelligence of the members of the Legislature must go in advance of public sentiment, and be willing to shoulder a resionsibility in order to accomplish a great good. Were this line established, and surveyors required to adjust their compasses by it, there would be no more contentions-about corners the same line could be mn to-day and a hundred years hence. The second amendment we would suggest, is to have tlie distance of the stones, not half a mile apart, as proposed in the bill, but chains of four poles each, or 229.2 poles. We will endeavor to explain the reason for tins particular length to tho unscientific reader.

If a line be run this distance and another line varying from the tirst by one degree be niu the same distance, tlie ends of the two lines will just be one eliain of four poles, or one hundred links apart. If the lines vary two degrees the distance between the. ends will lo two chains of lour poles each, or two hundred links; if the lines vary one-half degree, the terminations will be fifty links, or a half chain, or two poles apart; in other words, the length of tlie chord of the arc which subtends tlie angle will be one chain or one hundred links for every degree. Now, the advantage of this: A surveyor, wishing to adjust his instrument, goes to the southern stone. He nms a due north and south line as iudirated by his compass.

When he gets to the end he lias nothing to do to obtain the variation but to measure from the end of the Hue run by him to the oilier stone, allowing one hundred links for a degiveind place it on record, showing in such record wliether it goes so many links to the east or to the west of the stone. In this manner the variation may le ascertained with accuracy to within one one-hundredth part of a degree. nave oeen tedious in tins ex- planation, iKsouse it. is important that tin-' reasons lie plainly understood why this mr- i ticnlar distance is suggested. The other sections of the bill make it i obligatory on the county surveyor to exhibit in the reports of his Purveys the amount of variation east or west, and tiiat he sliall test his instrument at least once in every six months.

Provision is also made for re- cording every test in tlie minutes of the County Court and it is also nude a misdemeanor, I punishable with fine, or imprisonment, or I Ik)Ui. to disturb or in any way deface these monuments, or to do anything for the purpose of defeating tlie purposes for which they are erected. Let the bill be passed by all means. It is judicious, wise and timely. FOR LEASE.
