Philip Schiff, of that place was going to do a tine businos in sheep raisng, but that the dogs got among them one night and killed 88 of them. The same pack 5 tiled IS for one of M r. Sell iff" a neighbors. A Doo Law that will protect sheep in a country where dogs re at liberty to go When and where they please, whether mi ller or out of the protection of - the law, is practically an impossibility. A statute that Would outlaw a dog the moment' he cross es the line of his owner's premises with out the presence of his owner or some one to watch him, would be of little or no Viilue ; for the dog is always very stealthy In his pursuit of sheep, often passing by his master's flock aud going two, three, and even five miles to fall on a flock lie 3 lias a mind to attack. Dogs which have been kept chained all day and turned I loose at night, have been convicted of go I nig three or four miles from home to kill I sheep, notwithstanding they were at the door early in the morning, ready to meet the first rising member of the family with I a friendly greeting. The only effect of I un outlawing statute would be to thin but the dogs a trifle, aud to cause neigh bors to fall out with each other. I A statute levying a heavy tax on dogs aud at the same time outlawing them when off their owners premises without J a master, would certainly thin them out ; I but eyen that would not afford protection to sheep exposed in the pastures ; for "tlwre me thousands of doir owners Who "would eiieeriuity pay inu rax ana crust I their dogs on good behaviour. It is rare ly that masters will believe an accusation I against their dogs until it is proven be youd dispute. Iu fine, it is practically impossible to keep dogs, running loose day or night, from killing sheep exposed j to their depredations. They have a ua 1 tural passion for the slaughter and will indulge it as certainly as the spirit moves them. Iu view of this fact it is ' worth while to consider whether or not it 1 is possible to prevent the evil by A LAW FOR THE PROTKCTIOX OF DOGS. . By coin moo consent a dog caught in the act of killing sheep, (which is a natu- ml instinct), is doomed to death by the I rope or the shot. This is very hard on I him, for we may not suppose that he knew the consequences, or that he incut - ted t lie penalty with malice, or in de fiance of the assented law. It is beyond dispute unjust to the dog, as any thiuk- 1 ing, reasoning master must feel, when he I reluctantly consents to the killing of his dog taken in the act. A law for the pro feet ion of the dog would be mure iu liar mony with reason aud human sensibili I ties than a sanguinary statute against him in relation to the sheep question : Let it.be enacted that the owner of every 1 dog shall keep him securely housed day i and night, and never allow him to escape I from his quarters except when his ser j vices are needed, and then to bo returned to them immediately after such service, on a penalty of five dollars for each and every offense. Such a law rigidly enforc ed, would practically protect the dog aud eucourage sheep husbandry. Since it is impossible for both sheep and dogs to run at large without depredations being com mitted, and that it is easier and cheaper to keep dogs in confinement than sheep, the reason of such a law is apparent, aud ! must commend itself to every intelligent man not influenced by prejudice. 1 )t t:i. lists. Two Virginia editors, W. O. Elam, editor of the Whig aud Mr. R. F.

There has been a reduction of forty -six I iu the number of internal revenue collec I tiou districts of the couutry. North Car I olina will hereafter have oue less than I hitherto. It will require some time to J rearrange the districts so as to distribute I the ten itoryoffcbolishcd districts among those still remaining. It is claimed that I the reduction will save $2(10,000 annual J expenses for collecting services, which, in 1 vjew of the cot of the business in the j Gth North Carolina alone, is a very small sum. A People- With Tails. A telegram from Rio Janeiro to the Cincinnati Times Star reports that iu Paraguay, South America, there lias beeu discovered a tribe of Indians with tails, but without hair on their bodies. A boy, seven or eight year old, was captured ami excited much wonder, he having a tail six or eight inches long. A brother of the boy, in jMissessiou of Col. K. Roca, has also a tail and it is said all the tribe are similarly adorned. We have seen just such a story every few years for half a century. At a cabinet meeting in Washingron, ou the 20th, steps were taken to turn back the tide of loreigu paupers coming to this country. Orders were issued to the collector of customs at New York to co-opera to with immigrant commissioners to prevent the lauding of immigrants known to be paupers There is now prevaleut at Alexandria, Kiivpf, au epidemic which has beeu vari ously named, but the sanitary commis sion call it cholera. Repeated. Some time ago a gentle- manrmmtitewmt in . rtti.H.- with i mm of oar cilireua, "went buck mi" the "Liberal" party ami his share in it In most emphatic manner. He said in substance that when the liberal move ment was first inaugurated he believed it to he a good thing. The Democratic party, he thought, was not equal to the times and was perhaps corrupt. Thus lie embraced the new party, hoping to find in it the best elements of both the old ones. But he had not long to remain in the concern te find it a mere radical trick. And his bitter denunciation of the fraud, and his mot -Uncut inn at having 1m.ch drawn into: it, were evidently sincere. He finished by saying thai "as long as he lived he would never vote any other tick et than the Democratic" his old party. The feelings and convictions of this gentleman in regard to Liberalism accord with those of the few intelligent men in our county, who Were for a time deceived by the fraud. They have come to real- aliae some sooner, some later that the Liberal party, so-called, is a farce and a political absurdity. Before the next elec tion all those who do not desire to gradu ally let themselves dowu into the Repub lican party, will have done with Liberal ism, and will be found wheeling into line again under the Old Democratic standard, a result fully sustained by reason and common sense, j , Defaulter Polk. The State Trcas urcr of Tennessee is on trial for his de falcation. When the case came up his attorney offered an affidavit for contiun mice, setting forth the intention of the defendant to pay back to the State the whole sum for Which he is liable, if time be given him for that purpose. This paper weut on to recite the means with which defendant expected to pay off his liability, now and prospectively availa ble. This is a gratifying evidence of his honesty. The judge, however, declined to grant a suspension of proceedings, and ordered the trial to begin. The readers of this paper will see ac count elsewhere of most disastrous floods iu the Mississippi valley, above aud be low St. Louis. And these disasters may be looked for more and more, just as the country shall be deprived of its timbered lauds. A wooded couutry takes up the waters of our heavy rains aud holds them back sponge-like to he given out by de greea j whereas, a land denuded of its trees and leaf-covered grounds shed off the waters in rushing torrents, quickly filling up and overflowing the banks of rivers and other streams, deal roving grow ing crops and driving out the inhabitants Plant trees on the old fields.

Graff, Beiinett 8c Co., the great iron manufac turers, have called a meeting of their creditors, and will ask for an extension. rhey owe $I,550,(HXI; assets about $3,001 UJ0O. They offer to pay thirty per cent, in three, six and niue months, and seventy per cent, iu three years. We cannot undertakejto say what is the cause of trouble in the above case, but it is now an admitted fact that the Southern States can produce iron nearly 50 per cent, lower than the northern iron mas ters ; and that it is only a question of hue when the country's supply will come from southern works. Smoking. - -We have not often seen the small boy in our community with cigar or cigarette only a few times. But it is a subject of uinch concern iu some parts of the country j for it is a well attested fact that the habit of smoking once form ed, like the habit of drinking", will run through .life ; and that it not only shor tens human existence, but deteriorates the mental faculties, ami unfits those adicted to it for usefulness, just in pro- tort ion as il is indulged. Parents and teachers should be watchful for thought- ess ones who know not the consequences of their upeing the smokers everywhere to be seen. Thirty govern men t war vessels are advertised to bo sold-for what thev will ing. It is mentioned as a fact that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on some of these vessels with out doing them what do you suppose ? any harm ! We have no navy worth a cent, as compared with the war ships of any of the great powers of the old world Nor do we believe they are very much needed. The thirty ships to be sold will hardly bring enough to build one first class iron-clad. The Georgia Chronicle advises a liberal use ot lemons in the morning before breakfast and before going to lied at night, as a means of clearing the system of hu mors and bile.

Believing his treasure to lie gold, he kept it hid, fearing some one might get it away from him. And ('taring still that he may be elicited out of it, he will uot believe that it is copper. The Asheville Citizen reports the pro ceedings of a mass meeting of the Grand Division of the Sous of Temperance iu that town recently.

The Chicago Inter Ocean has figured out that it costs fi5,000 to kill an Indian. Evidently, killing is not the most eco nomical mode of settling our troubles with the Indians; but governments never stop to count the cost of war.

Journal-Observer : Another cheek iaiser detected, arrested, and in jail. J. Harrison Pennell, of Patterson, N.

During the recent Star Route trials and before, it was stated that ex-Senator Dorsey would print certain documents aud letters in his possession relative to the Garfield presidential election and the formation of the Garfield Cabinet. This correspondence is alleged to be of a sensational character. A good deal of this sensation has been heavily discounted. It is known here, however, that Horsey is now being negoti ated with by a New York paper and that all the writings relative to the celebrated Garfield-Conkling compact wHl be pro duced in the columns of the journal that published the Dorsey lettei. Dorsey has held these papers sacred until now, when he feels that he owes nothing to the party that has rewarded him with disgrace. Dorsey proposes, after he has damaged the Republican party as much as possible by disclosing some secret history, to transfer himself, troop and baggage, to the Democ racy and help them in the next presidential campaign. He has an idea that he will be able to control a large negro following by preaching to them Ins services in the Gar field contest, and he will trv tn show that his prosecution foe Star Route frauds was the result of a conspiracy among t lie dead President's enemies. The Governor's 31 a 1 1 s i o u . The work of excavating for the founda tions, &c, of the Governor's mansion began yesterday. The buildiug stands ou Blount street, neer the spot where stands the old "Lovejoy" academy which has been for half a century or more a landmark in the city. Around the old school old associations cluster thick, for people of all ages hare studied lessons and been well "birched" there in days past or present. But (he old and incon venient building, by no means suitable for a school house, gives way to the march of improvement, and the new mansion will adorn the grove of oaks, which, too, are passing away, and must soon be replaced by other trees. It may not be amiss to give a sort of a description of the mansion. It will be of brick faced with brown sandstone of fine color and texture, fiom Auson county. It will have a basement, two full stories aud au attic story. The roof is of slate. The building is iu modern style, aud is spacious and comfortable as to interior arrangement, both of rooms nod hall ways. It is uot, we are informed, ex pected or desired to la? completed in time for occupancy by the pieseut Governor, but every effort will be made to have it ready to turu over to the next incumbent of the executive chair. The building will be handsome, one of the handsomest, in fact, in the city or State. Neics-Obs. Shoes. We have the impression, derived from various sources, that the tariff has a decided effect ou the pi ice of shoes. We have come in part to this conclusion from the price of English shoes at home compared with American shoes. Hut as it is now iu order to dispute all tariff facts or theories we will uot push this point, although we have an impression that a pair of shoes von must pay 7 for would not bring mote than $4 or $4.50 if there was uo tariff, tax ou foreign shoes. But our purpose is to copy a brief para graph from file New York Jferafd, which shows how the tariff acts when there is excessive production. It says : 'Our shoe manufacturers can make iu six months all (he shoes this country re quires in a year; but as David A. Wells showed the other day at Detroit on the authority of a shoe manufacturer, the tariff prevents them front selling their surplus to foreigners, and thus robs both capital aud labor. The same is; true of many important industries. HenCe, glut ted markets, factories carried on at a loss, ruinous competition to secure trade, ami finally cutting down id' wages. Because, as manufactured products are made of raw material and labor, and as the tariff law makes it impossibly to get cheaper raw material, cuttirg down wages is the only Way by which the manufacturer can cheapen production. Thus it is seen how and why a high tariff makes low wages. Utah, as well as Dakota, is again pre paring to urge her claims for admission into the Union. But the probability that the polyumous community will bo clothed with the privileges and powers of a State this year, or next, or for a dozen years, is very remote. Public sentiment through out the couutry demands the Utter aban donment of polygamy by the Mormons as a condition precedent to admission, aud it is not probable that Congress will dare to disregard popular opinion on this sub ject. If Utah were admitted, nothing short of au ameudmeut to the eons ti utioa of the United States prohibiting polyga my would eradicate that evil. Congress would lie powerless without Such an amendment. The Territory might be admitted with a constitution prohibiting polygamy, but she could revoke aud an nul that instrument at pleasure, and cer tainly would do it and adopt one recog nizing polygamy, which no Congressional legislation could reach. Or title State might see proper to allow the pro hibitory clause to remain iu her con stitution, yet refuse to enforce it j or, to go further, Congress might make the abolition of polygamy a conditoil of ad mission, yet such a condition would avail nothing, as the United states government could hot enforce it. Utah should be kept out until no vistage of her Hpecnliar institution" remains, or uutil the Mor mons are iu the minority. And, us it now appeal s, that day is far iu the fu ture. Cincinnati Times-Star. If the Democratic party desires to avoid, next year, the shoals and quick sands which underlie the tai iff question, it can Very easily do it by the nomina tion of Hon. A bra m S. Hewitt, of New York, for President. He is a tariff re former and embodies the Democratic doctrine of a revenue tariff, He is a wealthy and prosperous manufacturer, at the same time, aud his was almost the only manufacturing establishment iu the United States which, during the panic of JOd, Ulu not reduce the wages ot its op eratives. Thus, while Mr. Hewitt repre sents the Democratic demand for a re duction of tariff duties, his being a manufacturer would allay any fears of the folly of free trade being attempted during his administration. He meets the wants of the Democrats aud his nomina tion would close the mouths of the Re publicans. He cau carry New York. Why is he not an available man f Statesville Laud mark: Tkrrible Floods. A telegram of June 23th says : Thousands of families bet ween Louisiana and Croft on are home less aud fleeing before the tlnod. Stock to the number of 10,000 head have al ready been drowned in the American bottoms. President Arthur wrote a letter to the J Louisville Exposition managers that is full of kind allusions to the South. Re ferring to the good that will be accom plished, he said : "And the inflnenees of the noble un dertaking will by no means be limited to its more material con sequel ices. It will assist in quenching the spirit of sectional antagonism, already, by God's blessing, well nigh extinct. It will bring the people of the land into more intimate acquain tance and sympathy.'" It is very certain that the bloody shirt will not lie unrolled iu 18S4. The era of good feeling has dawned enough to make any man a conspicuous failure who shall attempt to set the outrage mills to run ning for political effect. Wit,! Star. The Ohio Democrats exhibited the same sound wisdom in the resolutions of their State convention, which their brethren elsewhere hare shown. After affirming iu a general way the principles heretofore announced by the party in regard to personal liberty and good gov ernment, and after declaring in favor of stable money, the gradual extinction of the public debt, and the payment of pen sions to such as are justly entitled ton them, the convention adopted a resolu tion iu regard to the tariff which favors "a tariff for revenue, limited to the ne cessities of a government ' economically administered, aud so adjusted in its ap plication as to prevent nnequai burdens, eucourage productive interests at home, aud afford just compensation to labor, but not to create or foster monopolies." Reform of thk Tariff is Michigan. There are, no doubt, portions of this State ra which a strong protection senti ment prevails, but take the State as a whole aud we believe the auti-protection sentiment is in the majority. This is, of course, largely a matter of opinion, and protectionists will lake a contrary view j but so far as there are facts upon which to base au opinion, they are, iu our judg ment, largely ou the side of the tautt re form. The issue was made last fall in some of the Congressional districts iu this State with much clearness, and a large share of the service in the Congressional election was due to the firm stand taken by opposition candidates.
