Wo trust the next legisulive assembly will find lime and occasion tureme.ly the glaring defect in the present laws egulntin election. The first is thu short time necessary to gain n residence In a precinct, mil the litclt ol plain nnd proper definitions of wiat shall consilium such resijenoe. The sccoid is the absutiau ol provision, for tho piitiinhiiie.it of taking or giv iug bribes ut elections in loinmuii parlance buying and selling votes. 1 For the present, we wishto offer intno sug gestions on tbe first point, leaving the second for a further article. As tho law now standi, the constitution mnkes a residence of six inmthi in tho statu a neoessary qualification to vile. This ounht to be a year, bnt is beyond file power of tho legis lative assembly, and what cin't he cured must be endured. The constittitim further provides that eleotor must vole in tin elootion precincts in which they reside, for"oiunty ollloers," nnd this Includes nine-tenths ofall who vote. The Interest taken in "county dTioers'' will iilwuy ensure the voter casting his 'nte at home, when this is possible. Tho oid lw of the territory made a residenoe in the countj only, necessary, and under it a voter might vite In any precinct In the county. The conslititiou is a great im provement on tbe law of llu territory in this particular, as it will always he found whole some and of good oouscqucace, fur men to vote at home, and where they are kuowo. By the old law the residence in the county was to be fifteen Says, and although II may not very dis tinctly appear why. it has bo 'n assumed that fifteen day is the measure of timo neoessary to constitute a residence in the trecinot under the constitution. A man may lave lived fifteen years in tfio comity, but only one day in the particular precinct in whici he offers to vote. The constitution says he u.ust reside in, and vole in tho precinct; but Ii silent us to what length of time or what circunstances constitute such residence. The old law suys the voter may vote in any precinct in the oouuty, but he mast rcsida fifteen duys in tlie county. 1 But we ore more interested in the future than Id tho past. The constitution declares that a vnlcr must reside iu the precinct where he offers to voto. Reside but how long f or under what circumstances ? The word reside, unexplained and unqualified, has no definite meaning beyond tho sense of to be or to live. We think it is a fair subjoot for legislation nnd that the assembly with.n oertnin limits has the power, aud that it is its duty to define the word "reside" declare what leogth of time in a particular previnot, shall constitute a residence therein. 1 The period of fifteen days Is too short. It offers too many opportunities nnd temptations to unscrupulous and zealous partiziins to colo nize voters. We think the period ought to bo extended to firee months. ; It would be even butter for the stable aud permanent population uf thu oountry, who have to bear its burdens, if tbe timo was extended tosii months tho limit of tho constitution. Ou such a question it is better, if we err at all, to err on the safe side. But wo think three months the shortest timo that ought to be fixed. Then there should be some plain and pertinent provision, declaring when aud how a change of place should consti tute- a change of residence. The change ought to be made without on intention to return to the former place. A person visiting in a pro duct, although tiU'tlnwM remain three months or longer, should not thereby bu deemed to havo gained a residence aud a right to vote there. Something like this should bo declared in the law. It has to be administered by plain men, often unlearned, iu the hurry aud heat of lection day. and it is the part of wisdom nnd good policy lo give them a plain chart of their ilnt les. We will not be surprised if some perverse mind who habitoally Hunks the less includes the greater, should raise the alarm ut tbe prop, osition fort hreo months' residence, because for sooth, some birds of passage may thereby loo a vote. So they might with fifteen days or oven ten. But good policy does not weigh such considerations in the baluucn against the good of the greatest number.

Ihe lode from which these were taken, the White Bull, Is increasing in width as the tunnel goes iiown, an.1 now, at ths depth of twenty feet, it is live feet wide. The actual value of Ihe specimens of which we speak, weighing perhaps three or lour pousjrls, is placed at over three hundred dol lars. Old miners from different parts of the world, several of whom are now engaged in these mines, pronounce these specimens the best they ever saw. Latest from QuARTzviLLr.-Mr.Geo. il.

Taxes we kumv tiro m.t n picas nut subject to talk or write nhmit, unless ynn are in tin. opposition and want to mtike a fuss about sniti 'lhitig, and then tuxes are just thR thing. But governments that urn self-support-' iug, have nut yet been invented, and probably never will. To have a government, costs some thing, even ns eunnoiiiical an affair us our Ore gnu one. Everybody admits, thai, n'l perseiis for whom government is maintained und nil. ministered, should, to some extent, according to their ability, help pay for it, An ad val or um ptoperty tax measures ilsell, being a mere nuifurin rate per cent, on the nmnmit the tax-payer Is f irtuniUo enough to own. A pull tax in thu United States bus generally been extended with the right of suffrage. Tho two are not necessarily identical, but the one is generally intended to bu imposed upon the class of persons who enjoy the other. Duties aud privileges in a free government being recipro cal, a person who fails to perforin a duty or n service imposed upon him by law, should fur the timo being be debarred fiotn the corres ponding privilege. The man who won't or don't pay his poll tax. should not bo ulliiived to vote. It is but u trifle, and in this country it is idle to say I but any one is utiulile. The very clnss of men most remiss In this matter of two or four dullars per annum, ihink nothing of lit erully throwing away twenty times the amount Upon objects of very (uiistiouable utility, Uot to say propriety. : After all, the difficulty could bo in a great meiumrci removed, if the law were to provide some simple und efficient means fur the collcu tion of the lax. It is so siiiall an amount, that those who have no properly tux to pay seldom think it worth while to come forward lo the treasurer's office and pay it. It drags along for five or six months, nnd by that timo, in Ihe towns many of this class have changed their whereabouts, and the pittance is not worth tho paper, ink and clerk hire that the county has spent upon it. After awhile it passes into thu sheriffs hands with the delinquent taxes, and if he it a candidate for re-eleotinu, nnd there are many of that kind ol people in his bailiwiok, ho is not disposed to be harsh about tho mailer, and prefers to conciliate the boys and secure i vote nt tbe expense of tho public. The most are returned inc. ruble delinquent, nnd so tin matter ends, to be gone over nguiu with us meagre results the oomiug year. In the county of Multnomah, where they have About 1300 no- live polls on election day, mtHlly in the city of Portland, they report the receipt of nli.mt $1011 poll tuxes. Every one of these 13(10, could have pui.l. and should be helped to do it -Many of them ifport gold wutche elegant clothes, drink many whiskies, and smoke cosily cigars. Yet they josllc any man nt the polls with as much cimtiilence its if they bail paid their way. Something must be dune. All the bunions of the government ought not to lie thrown upon the shoulders of those who by in dustry and economy have accumulated il little property, and therefore must pay. Suppose the county clerk wns authorizlid to is sue to the as essor blank poll-tax receipts, nnd the assessor to collect the poll-tax lis ho assessed it. He should be charged with the receipts lie receives, nnd credited with those ho returns, if any. Authorize him to collect all poll-taxes fr persons who returned no properly, nt unco. Givehi.n Bitlbiirily to distrain for it, und ex- inipt nolhing from the levy except incase of papers, and upon them of conrso no poll-tax should be laid. Give the assessor ten percent, of the poll-lax he o Meets. This is the least sum that any liu-dnes:. man would think of of fering a Grst rate collector upon a lot of slow, small bills, round town and the public will be the gainer to pny the assessor something to collect tborougly. You had better spenl 25 cents, even, to get the other 73 cents, than to use the whole dollar. The sheriff is about Ihe womt cojleclor that can be i bought of I'ortlitse small accounts, besides the pittance he gels for collecting the poll-lax. But with the assessor it would be. different. The collection of this tax would be hi principal business, and some how assessors' work does not come so near pri mary lime as the sheriff's delinquent list. As an illustration of this conciliation of non-tux- paying voters, we will stake a new hot that the sheriff of Multnomah made the poll tux in th.it oounty of the negroes without many delin quents, if any. The negro ho no vme, and he was told to pay, nnd did. All right. But white men, voters, ut that, lire us well able to pay their pull-lax ns negroes, and all that is ueces- sary to havo them do it, is to put the job into the band of some efficient mini, who is nut seeking votes at the public expense, ntiv him well for It, aud it I dune. - A blUMlI l. It is well known that the rebels postponed their convention for tho purpose of tivailiug tbe result of Grant's campaign. They did not Luow what kind of a front to make, what kind of a man lo nominate, nor what kind of a platform to adopt until (..runts campaign had eilher failed or suc ceeded. If it failed, they hoped in the moment of dejection caused by that failure lo induce the people of the North to speak In November in fa vor of "peace on any terms." If it succeeds. they Imped lo carry tha country for their nieu and measures by prousing a war policy. But this little strategic movement seem destined in lull Kiebuioiid is not captured ycl, and Grant Is nut defeated.

It being uinlersiooil llmt a committee ofgeii lleiiieii, in some uuy appointed or designated by the convention of the Teachers lusiiiute, are engaged In pri-piiring a common school law to be stilimitli'd to tin. coming legislative as seinbly, we r pns- to call Iheir nltenho.i mid that of Ihu public to utiu important matter con nected with the subject, that is, t lie age nt which children should he allowed to lit lend the common school. As it is, ul I children between thu ages of four and twenty, aru eligible, and as a mutter of right are entitled lo attend the common school. Wilt the maximum nge we do not propose lo bnve any controversy, but "four year olds" are loo young to attend school. It is a sin and a slinino to compel them lo go, especially the crowded schools of Ihe towns, to he imprisoned ten or twelve hours at a mental process which they nre too young to appreciate or understand, If the state is desirous of turn ing dry nurse and establishing a nursery fur tho nurture and onre of infants to tbe exclusion of their mothers to whom they properly belong, then go nt it directly and by the proper name. These infants in ninny of tl:o tonus are puck ed off to the common school by their parents simply to get rid of them during Ihe tiny. In the sobonl they are on the way. a tedious drag upon the time and nttenlion of the teacher and Serious detriment to tbe emulation ntiil progress of tlinee scholars old enough to be seriously en gaged in tho business of learning. The nge should uot be less than six, and would bo more nearly right If fixed nt eight. This American niaiiin of forcing children is alremly bearing sorrowful fruit, nnd needs In b vigorously re pressed. When parents have the knowledge and leisure to attend to llicir children at home, they can well tench them all that is necessary for them to learn before they are ten years of ago. Then they nre really fitted to leave a mother's care ami tiurttiro ami go into ihe pub lic school. But ninny parents uro not qualified or so situated an to lie able to give their child ren any uf the rudiments of edf cation, mid on their account we would open tho doors of the school house at the eiirlio.'t ttge practicable and useful to tlieiu. We think that age, eight years, but even six would be n great improvement, on the present period, four years. It has been thought by some good people, who have seen und admit the evil of the publio schools being turned into nurseries without mothers or nurs s, that the matter is not wiihin tho power of Ihe assembly to remedy on account ol the ooiittitutioii; but upon reflection wo nre satisfied that this is a misapprehension, one that might very easily happen, but still a niisuppre h.i.sittii. The only provision nf the constilutimi that bears upon I lie subject whatever is the 4th section of the 8ili article. It reads ns follows : "Provisions shall bu made by law for the distri bution of the income of the common school fund among the several coi'ntiesof 'ho stale, in pro- pvrtion to the numler of children resident therein between the ages of four and twenty years." This language neither assert nor im plb s that children shall be entitled lo attend the common school ut any particular nge or be ex eluded therefrom. It only provides that the number of children between these age in each county shall be the ratio by which tbe school funds of Ihe if title shall be distributed among I lie counties. Il might as well have sold, in proportion to thu heads nf families, lax-payers, or voters; nod then would any one contend that a head of a family, tax payer, or voter was therefore entitled to a school maintained by such money Manifestly not. As children gen erally were intended to be the recipient of the of the school fund, the constitution very prop erly distributes it among the counties in pro portion to the number in each, but this is iu no way determining the qu-'tliuii of what nge. or under what circumstances, a child slmll be en titled to attend school. That was left for the legislature to regulate from time to time, ns meet and convenient. Section 3. of the same nrticle says : " The legislative assembly shall provide by law for the eilublish nieiit of a uniform and general system of common school." At what nge chil dren shall be entitled to attend school, is involved in this grunt ul power mid injunction to establish a system of common schools. As much so and more, as n-gululiug the hours of attendance. This fund is to be distributed among the counties, to be used iu maintaining - r . . .... . i . , a system oi rcuonie inerein, lo ue established by the legislature, and not Id send every child be tween the nges of four und twenty lo school. whether Ihe snino shall be found or deemed desir.ibl or for llio best. Children between thoe ages nre simply selected as a ratio of dis tributiiui between Ihe comities, because tbe money being intended for g- ncrul education such a ratio would be found to be nearer just than to take Ihe general population, tax-payers, yotcrs. io. To illustrate, representatives ii congress are distributed ( apportioned ) among llie slates in the roportum to their population, but this in no wny determines or regulates how or when these congressmeu nre lo be chosen The law regulating niffruge provides for Hint, and nys, that one sixth of this population slmll ohooso ihem. So the 4lh section distributee the money among the comities in proportion to the infant population between Ihe. nge nf four ami twenty, but in mi way provides upon whom it shall be upended, or even that it shall In expended at all. The 2d si-ction declares that this fund shall lie exclusively applied to the maintenance ot coiinnnii schools iu each district, and the third ctimi declare that the asstuibly shall I'siahlisb these common schools on " a general system." ' In establishing this "general system." the. legislature is free to prescribe according to what is thought bet for ohild and community, at what age children shall be en titled to attend thi school. We think eight ymrs should be the mini in. IiKTUitsiNu MiNKits.
