The impression seems to be that the injunction will not be cou- j tinned as to any monies in tho Treas- ury except those collected for the ! "general fund" as it is called, even if it be continued for that. The special tax money was turned into the "gen eral fund," that is, the fund raised to pay salaries, &c. If, therefore, the money raised for the express purpose of maintaning the Asylums, huilding the Penitentiary, Arc, be appropriated to making good the special tax fund it would seem to be robbing Peter to pay Paul, and that the Asylums and Penitentiary authorites w.Mild at once have a cause of action i gainst the Treasurer therefor.

If it shall turn out, however, that tlie whole 11,000 shall be locked up until the suit shall le carried to the Supreme Court of the United States, cud tliere work its slow way from the foot of the docket to a decision, a practical view of the situation suggests that the banks with ' whi.-h Mr. Treasurer Jenkins deposits th- State funds for safe-keeping will make a good thing of it. Two bun dled and forty thousand dollars be yond any danger of being checked on r r removed for a year or two would be a very desirable acquisition to any bank in these hard times. Doubtless Mr. Jenkins would pruvet.i be -juite a . popular gentleman in banking circles. At a moderate calculation money is worth ten per cent, per annum, and at this rate whatever bank should be for tunate enough to get the deposit would make just twenty-four thousand dollars per annum by the pendency of the suit, and when the decision was finally reaehed would doubtless say it was a consummation most devoutly not to be wished. But some people are lucky in this world. S. CiErBATIOX o r I.Y.YIAK. II I S H O ! We learn that the Rev. T. B. Lyman, 1). D., Assistant Bishop elect of this State, will be consecrated at Raleigh on December 11th proximo. The venerable Bishop of the Diocese of Maryland will be the Consecrator ; Bishop J.ay, of Easton, will preach the sermon ; Bishop Atkinson and Bishop I." 1 ..... . . . . . . t' Tminoir1rnT.lil -..-ill " 11 ..-. oincus, ui . uuucjituuii., ..... ...... . Presenters. The Bishops of Louisiana, Alabmin Beckwith, of Georgia, are to be invited to assist in the Consecration. The imposing character of the ser vices and the presence of so many of the high dignitaries of the Episcopal Church cannot fail to be matters of much interest to the members of that Communion throughout the Diocese. l.tXATIO.. : The New York Nation has "as yet '; " to hear of any newspaper or man of j " influence ami reputation for financial ' " sagacity who is in favor of inflation. ' " Indeed, one of the most remarkable j " things about tho present crisis is oQ a'u hang that Cmgrcs, as soon ljy it mCcts, mvtt inflate, the avowed ' object of every one who speaks or " writes on the subject, including tho " I'resident and Secretary of the " Treasury, is to get back to specie payments Boon as possible." Those who speak and write, includ ing the President and the Secretary of . . m ' c ' - 1 tne xreasury, may iavor specie pay- rnents, but those who work and vote want currency and more of it, and we opine that the politicians will heed the wishes of the latter rather than the former. It will be safe to predict that no Western or Southern member will bo returned to Congress who does not use his efforts and cast his vote for "cheap money." The people intend to have it, and those who speak and write cannot keep them from it. (IRA. Possibly there may be a war with j Spain, but if there is it will be because it is feuded upon tin Administration. At present, President Grant does not ; mean war.

The lreifteiit'ai Orenn on Cuban Affairs. The correspondence that was recent ly begun does not promise an immedi ate termination, the desire, of the Gov ernment being, as already expressed in the Republican, to obtain fall infor mation as to all the circumstances con cerning the capture of the Vrginius and the atrocious executions which fol lowed. No American, however deeply lie may sympathize with those who ha.o a.o'K.vii l3 luti iiiuidfi'a at Santi ago de Cuba, oan expect tho Govern ment to hastily resort to force in the absence of well-ascertained facts r hieh, when they are known, may justify the most stem and decisive measures. The President is free in his utterances con cerning his duty in the matter, and only yesterday said that "this Govern ment will take care that the uational flag shall be everywhere respected, and American citizens everywhere pro tected in all their rights." The Constitution and the law vests the war-making power in Congress. Under the circumstances it is apparent that the Executive cannot use force, even if he were so disposed, to right the wrongs of which we have so long and so frequently complained. Hence Congress will be made acquainted with all the facts in the case, so far as they shall have been obtained at the time of its meeting, and the responsibility will then rest upon it to direct such action as the circumstances at that time exist ing may demand. Stephen Smith, for many years the aged leader of the colored race in Phil adelphia, died on Friday last. He life was divided into a youth of slavery, a manhood of freedom bought by his' labor, and an old age of wealth and honor. He voted for Gen. Jackson, as a Democrat, in 1834; lost his vote by the act inserting the word "white" in to the State constitution of Pennsyl vania in 1838, and got it back under the constitutional amendments in 1869. fe has made, it is stated, splendid benefactions to the aged poor.

The foregoing statements show that the experience oi the State in Rail road and Navigation cut c-r rises has been unfortunate with eno exception, the North Carolina Railroad Company. Even this was for many years non-dividend paving. Practically as to the rest of the debt except that contracted on account of the Insane Asylum, the State has nothing whatever to show ex cept whatever general increase of proiierty has been made by the partial construction of the works. Such general improvements in the value of property in the State docs not exist. The valuation of the real estate of North Carolina in 1800 was in round numbers 97,070,000. In 1872 it was in round numbers $2, 100,000. I am unable to give a comparison as to per sonal property because it was not taxed according to its value until 1KGS, but I think as the total valuation of real and personal estate iu;i 872 was $123,o00,000 there has been a similar retrogrr.de as to both, I have gone into this matter in such detail because those who sneer at our not paying interest on the public debt ignore the facts of our situation.

To this add the expense of support ing the State Government and it will bo necessary to raise 81, 900, Ooo per annum, or 1 and 3-5 rer cent, of the real and personal proj erty.

Now add as as large, if not the holders of special tax bonds pro pose a tax of 8855.090, nr I of 1 per cent, on the property ami we have a grand total of 2 and 8-10 per cent. It is manifest that our people can not and will not pay such enormous levies. Any attempt, to enforce it would result in total repudiation.

Gov ernment. In the first artielo of the treaty of Ghent there was a stipulation on the part of Great Britain in regard to "any slaves or other private prop erty carried away by them," and tne Emperor of Russia, to whose arbitra tion the case was submitted, decided that the British should pay the Ameri can owners for slaves carried away during the war. Mr. Hunter also shows the dilemma in which the four teenth amendment to the Constitu tion places the Government of the United States. By the fifth amendment to the Constitution it is provided that private proptrty bhould not be taken for public, uses without just compensation." Whenever such property is bo taken, a claim accrued to the individual owner for juot com pensation, which the Government was bound to respect, not only upon con siderations of justice, but under the exjuess provisions on the. Constitution before the adoption of the four teenth amendment. Now, the obliga tion to discharge the debt having oc curred under the fifth amendment, and before the adoption of the fourteenth, which forbids the payment of such debt, of course the latter amendment cannot impair the prior obligation. At any rate, the Government is placed in an absurd dilemma by this fourteenth amendment, the fruit t.t r-assiou and party zeal. The repeal of that amend f men: is not asked, but Mr. Hunter suit. gests action after the precedent estab lished by the act of Congress of June 23, 1S33, in reference to dejiositing the surplus revenue of the United States with the different States, upon the terms fpd manner therein specified..

There had been no court held in that county since 1801, owing to the civil war. I found everything in the worst confu sion possible. Men had befcn murdered in could blood, and nothing was dona with them. Murder, arson, robbery and all the crimes in tho catalogue, had been committed with impunity. and the malefactors had gone unwhip ped of justice, owing to the absence of law. During tho war everything was anarchy; there was neither safety to women nor innocent children all suffered alike. When it was known that there would bo a circuit court held in that county, tho news attract ed a very large crowd. On Monday morning, November 8th, 1865, I found a large crowd in B , the county seat of O : . Men, women and children came, some thirty niiii. Guerillas and bush whackers came with . their guns and pistols, as if to overawe tho court, and determined fcthat nono of their gang should be indicted for the numerous murders of which they had been guilty. Court cpened, and the Sherifi' returnd his list of a grand jury. The Court instructed them as to their duty; they were sworn and sent to their rooms. I had determined in my own mind that every person that had been guilty of a felony or misdemeanor iu O county should be reralarlv indicted, if I could in any way obtain tne evidence against them. - There was a case that was shrouded in mystery. A yonng man, who was the pride of a widowed mother, had suddenly disappeared from the conrty about two years before, and had never been heard from. His name was Charles Eelknap: he was sn only child; handsome, finely educated, and as brave as a Tion. I made diUigent in quiry. I had about one hundred wit nesses summoned. I examined them closely, and when I dismissed them I warned them to tell no one what tran spired in the grand-jury room. In that way I hoped to keep the real murderers in the dark as to what I was doing. I could only gather the following circumstances in the case: That young Belknap had left his home in June, 1863, and was riding a very fine horse, with 81,500 in his possession. He failed to return at night, and his moth er became very uneasy about him r.nd the next morning set out to make in quiries concerning him. ShO went to the house of 'Squire Mosely, who lived about five miles from her, a leading man in tho county, and told her story and made inquiries concerning her son. The 'Squire told her that her son was at his house the day before and left in the direction of the town of B.; that he left about 10 o'clock in the morning. This was all she could hear of him. No one lso had seen him, and she returned home a broken-hearted mother. Sho made inquiries of - t everv person : every stranger that passed was interrogated, but all in vain. Sho still kept up her search for her missing boy, and about twelve months alter he had so mysteriously disappeared she was returning home 1 from on of her searches and met 'Squire Mosely. The "Squire told her he had heard from her boy; that he vms iu una. x. nau icccitu a icucr from mia. ana tnat he would be at homo soon: that ho had the letter at home, &c. Mrs. Belknap went direct- ; iv to the 'Souire's house without com . rhnnicatinr her intention to him. and j inquired of tho family for the letter j that tho 'Squire had received from her The family soomed snr- w nothing at othing about such been received ovidenco I could get l fate of her -, on. ! vt nat was x to uo ; a went 10 my room i and studied over the matter. ' How 1 T . 1 T 1 1 . could I say that young Belknap had been murdered ? His body had not been fonnd ; and who would dare to accuse Squire Mosely of such a crime? 1 lay in my bed that night thinking over the circumstances, ipi J, u was near 4 o'c ock ii; the morning when 1 fell slccp. I slept until 8 o'clock. I got up, wasncu aua aressea nryseu, fully determined to indict Squiro Mosely for the crime of murder. I went to the grand jury room, directly after eating a hearty breaVfast. 1 told the foreman what my intentions were. I drew up tho indictment, accusing Squire loosely of the crime cf mur der, committed as follows, viz : "Tho said Squire Mosely, un the day of August, 1863, in tho county of O r , did feloniously and with malice aforethought- kill and" murder CharleB Belknap by ihooting him with a gun loaded with a leaden bullet, agaiust the peaoe and dignity of the Common wealth of Kentucky." I presented the indictment to the grand jury, and they endorsed it a true bill. " I cautioned the iwembers of 1 tiie jnrv to, say Sv4hing about what we ha ,j00j but tQ keep tJie whole thing secret, and if before the court ad- journed nothing turned up to fix the crime on the Squire, that we could de stroy the indictment. The grand jury found indictments against eighteen persons for murder, and Q secretly was it managed thai the sheriff had them all in jail at once, Tho indicting of so many persons naturally produced groat excitement among the citizens. I went to my room that night and double-locked my door, examined my pistol and put it under the head of my bed. About 12 o'clock I heard a knock at r,vy door I !i -tii. 1 a! 4 acmnnaea to Know wiio. was tcere. .v 1 person an"sred, "A friend."

They were convicted at Federal Court in Ashevillo of dealing iu coun terfeit money and sentenced to Albany penitentiary for a term of two years with a tine of 52,000. The names are, T.

Hide, Graham. The Laurinburg Scotchman says : Wo havo heard but littlo complaint in this immediate vicinity of tho scarcity of cotton pickers. althoiiciV mnrli cot ton vet remains in the fiehls to hm truth. ered. Tho farmers seem to havo come to tho determination to save the crops without tho payment of exhorbitant prices to pickers. Much of the crop is already housed, and tho prospects, for tho saving of that por tion of the crop yet remaining in tho fields, are encouraging. The Raleigh News says : A telegram was received in this city last evening announcing tho death of Judge Boy den, at his home in Salisbury, at noon yesterday. Judge Boyden was tho Democratic member of Congress from tho Salisbury District in 1868, and at the time of his death was an Associate J ustice of tho Supreme Court of tho State. We have not space in this issao for a more lengthy notice of the public services of the deceased. Suffice it is to say, that he died full of honors at a ripe old age, and North Carolina ha lost .ne of her most valued public ser vanta. A STKEET PICTURE. "Kin? AVIlilam was Hint Jamci' Son." Blessed is childhood ! The delight ful mildness of last evening drew tho children out on the side-walks, in the residence portions of the city, to snatch a few more round games out of the closing grasp of winter. A happy, rom ping group of young girls barred our passage on tha way home, and they were so fall of spring-life happiness that we could but cnoose to stop a few doors and listen. The bright eheeri ness of their fresh young voices vibra ted on the ear like tho eweet chiming of glass bells, and drew a picture of past childhood that not many hearts not of the hardest could ignore. They were all girls. They had join ed hands in a ring, and were ehorous ing some rhyme, which did not seem to have much reason in it, but what of that ? They were happy in the midst of financial crashes and Cuban massa cres, and who shall say that ignorance is not bliss? There were two boys sit ting on the steps of a door, and they were looking wishfully at the game, but did not participate. Childhood with those boys had passed. Tiiey were about eight and ten years respec tively, not more, and to lower the dig nity of the Second Reader by playing with tho girls was a social heresy enj tirely incompatible with the standard of youthful America. Tho temptation to thoso boys, though, to "pitch in" and be jolly sad throw dignity over board was hard to resist. But they did, and sat there aud listened, am! this is what they heard and we heani as near as wo could catch it and jot it down as a libretto curiosity of the opera of childhood !

Without stopping to consider here, as out of time and place, tho origin of this children's rhymo, which evidently comes from England, and is nearly two hundred years old, tho giggling fui became very great in tho chorus, and a large amount of childish coqnetry was flaunted beforo the faces of the blase creatures on the door-steeps. Lordy, lordy, thought we, as wc walked away, more cheerful for what we had seen and heard, how many millions would gladly givo all the bair off their heads to be able toeing "King William was King Jame's son" with that little ring of iuuocenta, and say, "Here 1 am, ono of you." Blessed i. childhood. .Si. Louis fit publican. How to Mi c llconoinicallr. The problem of how to economize in living is one that engages tlie serious attention of a great many people. "Many a little makes a niickle" was one of Benjamin Franklin's "Poor Richard" truisms that summarizes the whole system of jiopnlar extravagaucc If you wish to save money, economize in little as weH as large items of expen diture. For ull the household purpo ses for which polishing powder , Bath brick and soap are usually used, excepting the one thing of washing clothes, Sapolio is by many times the cheapest article that can be employed. To say nothing about its great superi ority to all other snbstauces, it is, on the score of money alone, by fir the; cheapest. Remember this fact and save many dollars every year. 1 w It I Amazing- that people neglect their teeth no san-Hally Sozoiior.t Ur-ed wiUi a brush ot inetUum harti nees, would l;eei any sit cf teeth :n -xcc!!ent condition h1wi. !
