Of course many of the Southern

A FOUL.! DISCRIMINATION.
We recently called attention to
the very obnoxious, tax on soft a
prime necessity of life and the poor
itants is erojvioe every dav. I
has been growing every day since
tho "cruel war was over.'j It wijll
continue to grow we have not the
slightest doubt. It will have 26,000
or more inhabitants,in 1 890 It is most
delightf olly'situated for pleasure and
commerce. It is a city to be proud
of, and we hail with unrepressed
satisfaction every new house that is
erected, every sign of progress, every
manifestation of public spirit.
TRe Stab is not. a destructive. It
is a builder up. It has been pub
lished for nearly twentv veara arid
man's .friend. We wish to supple
ment that article by calling attention
to another fact connected with the
tax on salt, j It is so inexcusable and
unjust a discrimination that it should
be made cdious. The way to do this
is to expose it without mercy.
The Star mentioned the fact that
Bait was free for fishermen, but the
farmers had to pay a heavy tax on
the same. Bat the very unjust and
iniquitous discrimination lies iu
another direction. The New Eng
land fishermen do not pay a cent tax
on salt. The ReDubl ican ConcrftKR

was no cause whatever for doubt.
The Stab does not believe that cen
tenarians are common. It does not
believe that one man in a hundred
millions ever- attains to 115 or 120
yearn, pnd not one in five hundred
years to 150 years of age. The pa
pers are filled with accounts of ex
treraely old people, but in scarcely
an instance is there an unimpeacha
ble record.
To show how infrequent must be
tho cases of people living to 105, to
1 15, or to 150 years, the Stab has
pointed to two singular facts. First,
that of the hundred thousand or more
Methodist preachers , who have lived
but one has been known to attain to
the hundredth year. Second, that life
insurance has been going on for two
hundred years and millions of persons
have been insured .in Europe and
America, and yet not one policy has
been paid on a person who had
reached 100 years. Is this not re
markable, when we consider the' fact
that none but the best, healthiest
subject is insured each one having
to undergo an examination by a phy
sician in the employ of the company
insuring. Then consider farther that
no person can be insured who is a
consumptive, is scrofulous, is insane,
is cancerous, or in whose family is
any ot these diseases.

AN OBJECTIVE GERMAN LESSON.
The German Tariff has had a very
unfortunate effect upon one'class of
workers, the woollen manufacturers.
They became so embarrassed that
it became:

r necessarily on a bost becatise cents to 70 cents in the dollar. Too

The Manufacturers1 Record Bays
the Stab is injuring North Carolina
because it denies that the farming
interests of tho State are in a healthn
ful, progressive State, tt would have
the Stab to misrepresent in ir
dcr to invite capitalj and immi
grants. It would have the Stab
to swear that the (farmers of
JJorth Carolina had not been
buying their bacon and lard and for
age and flour and meal in the North
and Northwest. It would have the
Stab to say that it was a gross and
infamous slander to aay that com
mercial fertilizers were used, but that
home manures were relied upon excln-
sively. It would have the Stab to say
much production is the cause of the
failures, it is said. This was brought
aoout by the excessive stimulus of
nign dunes under the Tariff. There
was a premium or bounty held out to
the manufacturers by reason of this
high tax, jand the result was there
were too many goods made. A crash
and disastrous compromise followed
ior the goods could not be disposed
of. The L nisyille CourierJournal

Probably there is no one in Wilmington
who would do or sy anything in dispar
agement of Charleston or its brave and en
terpriSing citizens, but the intimation in the
above, that the harbor of Wilmington is not
equal to that of Charleston is misleading
nd not iu accordance with the facta. Once
Wilmington had a "shallow harbor." but

ral Government, with the closing of New

river, vetse!a drawing seventeen feet can

a Considerable inrrenne in lho Uonfk
of water j is assured, on thecomole-
tion jof dredging contracts that tie nov
under way. Masters of British steamers
visiting Southern ports say that Wilmington
has a better harbor than Charleston. As cor
roborativc:of this it is worthy of note that
two Or more of these steamers, last fall.
carried out a greater number of bales of
cotton from this port than they were able
to carry from Charleston. Furthermore.
the French war vessel Ducoedic. which was
in this port for several days last April, was
under oiders to visit Charleston, but could
not get over the bar. and the commander of
the vessel was compelled to make his visit
to the French consul at that place by rail
from Savannah.
The Condemned Burglar Jones.
John Jones, colored, the condemned
burglar now in the county lail, will be re
sentenced at the next term of the Criminal
Court, which convenes in this city on the

Jones was tried, convicted and sentenced
at the December " term of the Criminal
Court for this county. His case was car
ried On aDDCal to the Rtinreme fVvnrt vhn
decided that there was no error, and. under
a new statute adopted by the Legislature in
February last, Gov. Scales issued his
warrant for the execution to take place on
the 17th of this month. The warrant wan
sent to Sheriff Manning but was afterwards
withdrawn by the Governor, pending a de
cision by the Supreme Court, as to the
effect of the law.
Yesteiday Maj. Jno W. Durham, clerk
of the Criminal Court, received a conv of a
decision by the Supreme Court, in a similar
case from Union county, in which the Court
hold that the prisoner can be resentenced
only in tho Court below. Judge Merrimon,
in hi3,opinion, says that the amendment to
th statute prescribing that in the sentence'
for capital felony the clerk of the 3upreme

the Supreme Court ia certified, shall send a
duplicate thereof to the Governor, who
Bhaiummediately IsfetjT his warrant for the

j Washington, - May '80. The culmina
tion Of the National Drill was reached and
passed exactly according to the programme
u v viuuil luib Biierauon, ana wiui every
element contiibuting to make the event to
be remembered. The troops, about 2,000
in number, were drawn up in five lines,
their centre facing the stand erected in the
middle of tho. broad drill enclosure upon
which General Sheridan and a brilliantly
uniformed staff had taken their place. Gen.
Augur and staff came on horseback and re
mained mounted during the ceremonial.
General-Ordway, chief of General Augur's
staff, formally announced to General Sher
idan that the troops were assembled to hear
the awards and receive the prizes in accor
dance with ; the decision of the hoard of
judges. An envelope containing the list
of the awards, sealed with a ponderous
circlerof red wax, was then handed by Gen.
Ordway to Col. Black, chairman , of the
Board of Judges, who in turn passed it to
Col. King, conductor of the dress parades.
This officer rode to a position a few yards
in front of the Btand, opened the envelope
and read the awards, ordering command
ing officers of winning organizations to .the
front in turn, as the several awards were
announced. As the name of the first or
ganizationVirginia National Guards
was announced and the commanding offi
cer was canea ioi, Uol. King turned and
said: "He is in town, sir. and can't be
far away." At that moment the Colonel
of the Virginia troops came around the
stand from the rear. The troops left Wash
ington for their homes last Saturday, and the
Colonel and Lt Colonel were alone on hand
to receive the prizes. Three half-covered
boxes containing medals were handed to
the Colonel by Gen. Sheridan,! who then
asked if he had any one to receive the flags.
The Lieutenant Colonel then came forward,
and large flags with their oil cloth cover
ings .making a comfortable armful, were
passed down to them and carried away to
the rear. All other prize winning organiza
tions were in line anil Haif MmmLniliiiii

officers came forward at the word, marched
sword in band to the stand, saluted and
received from the Lieut. General the prizes.
The cash awards were contained in open
envelopes out of which projected the ends
of newly issued national currency in bills
of large denominations. It seemed to be a
problem with some of the proud reception-
law. uow to secure tne mus; in the rresh
breeze which was blowing, take charge of
the boxes containing medals, and. with
their hands thus occupied, salute as they
retired. Two hands were hardly up to the

The Comptroller of the Currency has di

Washington.. May 81. A prominent
orBcial. entirely disinterested, who has
talked with the President in regard to the
vacancy in tho U. S. Supreme Court
caused by the death of Justice Woods, said
to a representative of the Associated Press
to-day, that while the President baa de
cided to give the place to the South, he
w nauButu mai mere is nothing in the con-
siHuuonai law or precedents which con
fines the selection of the appointee to the
States included in the circuit to which
the deceased Judge was assigned. The
ofllcial explained that while Congress fixes
the boundaries of judicial circuits, the
court itself makes the assignment of
judges, and it has frequently happened
that the judge appointed from one State
is assigned to the circuit in an entirely
different section of the country; and also,
tbar wh -n vacancy has occurred in any
particular circuit, it has been frequently
filled by an appointment from a 8tate al
together outside of its jurisdiction. In
demonstrating this assertion the official
said that Judge Taney, j at the time of
his death in 1864, presided over the
Fourth Circuit, which included the
Statts of Maryland, West iViritinia, Virgi
nia and North and South Carolina, but in
stead of selecting his successor from one of
those States, the Preeirient a
Chase, of Ohio, and he was assigned to the
Fourth Circuit Judge Swayne, of Ohio,
was also on the bench at that time. So
that Chase's appointment gave Ohio two
representatives on the bench at the same
ume. tvnen uuase died in 1873, making
another vacancy in the Fourth Circuit, ex
Attorney General Williams, of Oregon
was nominated for the place, but was re
jected by the Senate. Caleb Cushing of
Massachusetts, was next nominated and be
too. was rejected These gentlemen, said
the speaker, were rejected for political
reasocB. and not because they did not belong

the vacancy existed. There can be no

confirmed. He was assigned to the Fourth
Circuit. Then again, when Judge Gner,
fl Penn.. died, in 1869,' Judge 8tanton,
.of Ohio, was appointed to his place, ' not
withstanding Grier's circuit embraced the
States of Pennsylvania. I New Jersey and
IWaware. Stanton died, however, soon
after his appointment and before he could
take his seat. Judges Waite and 8wayne,
both from Ohio, sat on the bench for sev
eral jcars together, and when the latter re

Washototoh, May 8I. Complaint has
been received by the Inter-State Commerce
Commission from Wm. H. Council, a col
ored man. directed against the Western &
Atlantic Railroad Company, in which he
avers that on account of hiscolor he was
forcibly ejected from the first class car after
having paid for a first-class ticket. He
asks that the Commission award him $25,
000 damages and such other relief as it may
deem proper. " - , r r
An interview with Commissioner Bragg
iu reiauoa to iuis comoiaint is puoiiahed in
the Evening Star. Mr. Bragg said : "I
know Council well. He is one of the
Dngniest ana best of our colored citizens.
He is a staunch Democrat and canvasses the
State at every election for the Democratic
ticket. He is not a man who desires to
push himself forward because of any am
bition to obtain social equality.) He is
modest and unassuming. He is a gentle
man. When I was president of the Ala
bama Board of Railroad Commissioners, I
required railroads to furnish firsNclass ac
commodation for all passengers who paid
first class fare. There was a fearful kick
against it, but I stuck to it and enforced
the order. They have no right to exact a
first class fare from a colored man and then
give ! him , fourth-class accommodations.
The ( result of my order was that the
railroads had to provide separate
first class cars for first class colored passen
gers. Why, representatives ot this very'
railroad company came up here and en
deavored to persuade the President not to
appoint me upon this commission because
I had taken a stand in favor of. what I re
garded as "instice to the enlnrerf nnAnla
That was the only point they made against
me, but the President did not seem to sym
pathize with them in their opposition to
me. This complaint is not against any
Alabama railroad, it is made against the
Georgia .Central. Perhaps as a burlesque,
or with the view of making Council's com-,
plaint ridiculous, a white citizen of Geor
gia has forwarded the charge I that the
Georgia Central refused to permit him to
ride in a "Jim-Crow" car, as tho car set
apart for colored passengers is called. The
complaint has not yet been I received,
but the CommUsionera have been ad
vised that it is coming. In terms, it fol
lows the complaint of Council, alleging
that complainant paid first-class fare, and
therefore had the right to ride m any car,
but when he sought to enter the colored
car he was prevented by the railroad em
ployes. The white citizen complains that
he was discriminated against because of
his color; that had he been a I negro be
could have travelled in the "Jim Crow"
car.
