The invitation is geue-Trustees of Centre Township have ordered a poll to be opened on the day of the general election in October, to fake the sense of the qualified voters of the Township, on1 the propriety of Jevying a tax to build school houses This proceeding is authorized by the'Common' School Law, now in force in the State, and: a compliance with it is requisite to the harmonious action of the system. Schools of any kind cannot be kept without proper buildings, and no man need be told that our country is wofully deficient in this- respect, at the pres ent time. But from some cause—we know not what—this feature seems to be the most unpopular one in the law. The effort has been made in several townships in Hendricks county, to assess a tax for this purpose by a popular vote, and a failure has been the result in every instance save one; and a like result has followed several similar efforts that we have heard of in other counties.

But on the .general question, we do not see how there can be any difference of opinion. We must have school house—their construction will require an outlay of a*certain sum of money; and that money must-come’ from the pockets of the people:Still Another Candidate.—The Daily Journal of yesterday says, that a communication in the Sentinel of Thursday, over the signature of“Many Democrats,” announces that Judge Major has consented to become a candidate for Circuit Judge.We predict the election of Major.For the Advertiser.

But many are opposed to this plan, preferring that houses should be built with the school fund.
