B R Moore, Solicitor of the Ciiminal Court for this county, on the vexed question as to th ; jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace mcates of refusal tc work the 'public roads. It was furniuheJ us, at our re quest by Maj Juo. W. Dunham, the Clerk of the Court. Ool. Moore, it will be seen, differs very materially from the opinion of Ool. Thos. S. Kenan, Attorney General, as published by us a week: or so I ! I I ago. Judge Meares, we are informed, agrees with Solicitor Moor in his opinion and' so charged the jury on Monday. The following is the1 opinion referred to: It is manifest that it was the intention of j the Legislature to confer upon Justices of the Peaca exclusive origiual jurisdiction of the offence created by sectiou 0, chapter 82, Laws of 1878- 9 ; but the question is, does the act referred to carry out this iu Lention ? I submit that it does not, and that Justices of the Peace have not origi nal jurisdiction over the offence thereby orea ed ; to-wit, failure to work on the i public roads, j It may be noted iu the nrst piace mat section 27, article 4, of the Amended Con stitution, so far as it confers jurisdiction over criminal matters upon Justices of the Peace, is the same as section 36, article 4, of the old Constitution of 1808, the words of the clause conferring this jurisdiction, beifjg in both sections identical, with two exceptions. i Section 33, article IV, of the old consti tution, gives to Justices of the Peace ex clusive original jurisdiction "of all crimi nal matters arising within their couuties, where the punishment cannot exceed a fine of fifty dollars, or imprisonment for one month ' Section 271, article IV, of i-he Amended Constitution gives the same jurisdiction ' of all crimiual matters aris ing within their counties, where the puu-i-hrnent cannot exceed a fine of fifty dol lars or iimprisonruent for thirty days;' the only difference between the corres ponding clauses in the two constitutions being the distinction which the Supreme Court has diawn between the meaning of the phrase one month aud the phrase thirty days. Why the words thirty days were substituted in the Ameud jd Constitution for the words one month in the old consti tution, is well known to the profession; this distinction drawn by the hupreme Court being the original cause. j I- will be observed that the words jof he coLstitutiou givo the mag.strates jurisdiction where the punishment is by due or imprisonment; not where the puuishmtnts by fin eand imprisonment. I submit that wherever a penal statute gives the court poer to inflict a punish ment of both hue and imprisonment tha ; hbn the jurisdiction it (taken a wa from the Justices of Peace although it may nve been the intention of the Legislature to confer jurisdiction upenthem; and for this positiou I cite the cases of the State vs beaton, 65 N. C, page 406, and State vs He.'Lurg it. a., 70 N C , pig 49 j ueaton's case was lor "wiitui abaudon ment" under the act of 1868-9, brought forward in Battle's Revival, section 119, chapter 32, where the defend ant' ;upou couviciion wai to be fined nv.t to exceed the sum of fifty dollars or imprisoned not jto exceed one month, or both, iu the discretion of the Judge of the Superior Court, or Justice of the j Peace before whom he case shall be tried." Inthiscas, after expressing a disposition to leave all such cates to the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace th Court says, "but upon a close examina tion of the wording of the statute we think this canuot be done, as the act authorize the infliction of both a tine and impris u ment, and not merely a fine or imprison ment, for one month as prescribed m art. 4, Sectiou 33, offthe constitution." In Heidelberg's case the court affirms the decision in Deatou's case, giving the argument more luliyj. In what pa ticu.ar does the case at Bar differ from the caaesViteU? Thd de feudaut in the case at Bar is indicted for refusal to work upon a public road under sec 6, chap. 8.2 !, laws of 1878 9. This section provides1 that any penou who, being liable to worfc ou the public roads, shall fail to do so, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on convictiou shall be fined not less than two dollars nor more than five doiars, or imprisoned not exceed iu 2 five days, or bvth in the dU cretion of the Court;" giving ito the court the power to inflict both the fine and the imprisonment.

Signal Sekvic, U. S A., Station Wilmington. O, Oct. 8, 1879 8:10 a. m. ! I The following orders have been received at this station ; Signals 'are ordered down at Smithville. ' J. M. WAT803T, Serst. Signal Co-ps; U. S. A. sadden Deaf h or Captain Samuel Hooker of the Br Barque George Davis. - We were very much shocked this owning to learn of t be sudden death of Captain Samuel Hooker, the commander of th British barque George t)atis, of a congestive chill, which occurred atSmith- vilje this morning about 10 or 11 o'clock. The George Davis waj cleared from this jpf-rt one wee a ago jest rday by Messrs 1 4iex. Sprant & Sou with a cargo of naval store for Loudon. But j) wing "to adverse winds which have prevailed on the coast causing the sea to be pretty roiugh cn the Bar, the depiruire cf Captain Hooper with his vessel bs been delayed at Smittu viile up to this lime. I The first intimation of Captain Hooker's illness received here was by a telegram from Dr W. G. Curtis, of Smithville, to Messrs Alex. Sprunt& Son, this nx-ruiug, informing them of the dangerous illuts of the Captain, stating that he had had jtwe- co; gestive chil s, whecupon the senior uembor of the firm, Mr. Alex. Sprunt, imme liateiy proceeded djwn the river, but did not reach Smithville in time to see Captain Hooker alive. . The unforjtunate man who hifjjust de parted this life has bejn sailing to this port ever hlco the war, the most of the time in j the brig -'?, C, llan Horn, and was held In such high esteem by the owners of his vessel, that upon the co m pletion of the barque George Davis, some three years ago, was given! command of this handsome ship and made the first trip in her to this port. The deceased was about fifty years of age auji a native of England where he leaves a wife and children to mourn his lossj Captain Hooker leaves also many friends and ac quaintances in this city who will grieve at his untimely end. The remains, we un derstand,1 will bo interred at Smithville for the present, or until such time as his family may see proper to remove them hence, j Messrs. Sprunt & Son, the Consignees, have nod decided definitely (yet whom they will place in command of the ship, but will,! in all probability, reach a de cision upon this point to morrow morn ing, when the vessel will proceed on her homeward bound voyage, but without her late lamented Captain, who by that time will be resting quietly beneath the sod in the village gravyard, which is within sound of the ocean s waves The Plant Industry! i I A new industry has recently been de veloped at Burgaw. Messrs. Herring & Moore, two very clever young gentlemen, who are in business at that paint. are purchasing a number of roots and herbs for which they have found a 'market else- i i where. Prominent among these is what is known s vanilla or dog-tongue, which is brought in to them, when dried, in large quantities, and then baled and ship ped to other points, the vanilla Jting used for flavoring smoking tobacco. The air around Burgaw seems thoroughly impreg nated, and that not unpleasantly, with the fragrance of this herb. The vanilla, howaver, is not the only plant which is shipped by Messrs Her ring '& Moore. The common (yellow flower, which grows so profusely in old fields, and often by the wayside.! known as a dye weed, is also purchased and shipped, by them, as is also the common gallberry bush, known as iuk( beny, the root of which is said to be a fine febrifuge, used often instead of quiu. ine ; the Indian hemp, the root of which, exceedingly bitter to the taste, was exten sively used as a febrifuge during the late war muck-weed, otherwise j known as Queeu's Delight, the exact use of which we do not kuow, but wh ch we think has purgative properties ; the ro -t of the pond -lily, which when gathered has a v ry bitter taste, rough and rasping like a green pel simmon, and the common fennel bu?b, which' is u&ed for tanning leather. The fact that thre ii a market ( r such things as these gea to prove a fact Which we have long asserted, v;z: that the woods and swamps of the sandy belt of , the old North State: contain many as y et unkno Jvn and theruf re unappreciated source of wealth. Nv t King since a" distinguished gentleman from the Western part of the State, a gentleman who is at enthusiastic botaigt, ga'htred while on a vitt to Peuder county over one tbouaani specimens of roots -aud herbs, all of which he thought mibt be found useful in manufactures or in medi cuuea. ; ' Two cases of larceny, one of forcible trespass and one for assault and battery, were disposed of in the Criminal Court to-day. 1 i PLEASE 50TICE.
