While absent week before last being in camp at Morehead the patrons of The Beacon were noti fied that the paper was to be sus pended. This wa3 as much or more iiews to me than it was to you, for I had uo intention of discontinuing the paper, but the former editor wishing to engage in other business took it for granted that I would drop it also. I am truly sorry that such notice should have been published, know ing that it has a tendency to injure the paper more than it is able to stand during the dull season, but as it has been published I make haste to correct it and assure you that it is still doing business at the old stand add as ready and more anxious to pledse" you than ever before. It is my intention to keep the pa per at least up to its old standard, and if possible, improve it. To do this you must help me out, not only by subscribing and paying for the paper yourself, but bj words of en couragement as well, which though spoken to others, helps the enter prise inlrriensely. If you can't say a kind word, say nothing, and if you hare complaint to make, don't make it to your neighbor, but make it to us. Hard feelings are almost sure lo be averted if the one feeling him self, injured goes direct to the one he thinks injures him for an explana tion. We shall fearlessly give our Views upon any and all matters of public importance, but at the same time we shall study to avoid wound ing the feelings of any man. I thank the patrons and friends of the paper for past favors and kind words, drtd trust that our friends may be multiplied. You need a paper irv Washington county and it is to your interest to encourage it. Yours sincerely, C. V. W. Ausbon. 'Who owns this government any way, the people who created it by their sacrifices of blood and treasure and who support it by their sweat And taies or the servants they have put in off oe ? When the" State pro posed to change the management of the penitentiary to create a new criminal district and to make ar rangement as to its railroad property, a majority of the State Supreme Court, the servants of the people, feaid it could hot be done because their fellow servants in those institu tions were supported by tax-money, and their right to enjoy that method of living was superior to the right of the people to govern their own prop erty and institutions. When the State found that the charges of the railroads, created by the State and running their tracks over other people's lani, were too high and appointed a commission to exercise the immemorial right of the public to regulate the charges of common carried, a Federal judge, a former railroad attorney, issued his writ to stop it, because in his opinion the creature was greater than the creator. The people could charter a railroad but could not control it. When the property of railroads was in public opinidu vastly under rated for taxation, farmers and all other! Ueiug taxed to make good the deficit, the law making power ot the State created a Commission to fix a just valuation. A Federal judge, a rusre oHice-holder and public servant, ect aside this action of the people bt?:,iU38 his opinion of tho value ot i.uIiCAi property, he said, differM from that of the Commission a pointed by law. Who made him sovereign over the sovereign to say how much it should do and what it should not do? These interferences of judgesiere servants of the public, in tho exercise of governmental functions are un warranted. They are contrary to the entire spirit of our institutions. If un rebuked, this assumption of power by the judges would draw, and has already gone far to drav, the supreme power out of the hands of the people, who express their will through their representatives and place it in the hands of a few Judges. It is inevitable, that if Republican government is to survive in more than the mere name, these usurpa tions of government functions by the judiciary shall be stopped with a firm hand. As to the State judges, it can be stopped either by the elec tion of new judges, at the expiration of the terms of incumbents who lend themseWes to the usurpation of pow ers not belonging to them or by their impeachment and removal. As to the Federal judges, whenever a Con gress and President in accord with popular government are elected, the entire Federal bench of Circuit and District judges can be abolished as wa3 done with the entire bench of 1L S. Circuit judges in 1801 and a new system created. These Circuit and District judgeships are created by Congressional action and can be abolished by the same power. It is true that their terms are for life but that is contingent upon the contin ued existence of their offices, and their terms go when their offices are abolished. The U. S. Supreme Court has sin ned far less against the people's sov ereignity than the underling judges, and unlike them their coUrt is cre ated by the constitution and hence can not be abolished by Congressional action. But the Supremo Court has no jurisdiction except that given it by the act of Congress of 1789 and amendatory acts, all of which can be repealed or amended at will by Con gress. So, though it seems the judiciary is now the controlling power, and in fact is fast drawing to itself the su preme power iu the government, it cau be readily seen it is treading on dangerous ground. The real sover eignty is in the people, and they can without a revolution assert that power through their legislatures and Congress in such an effectual man ner that not a fragment of judicial supremacy shall be left. The people move slowly but when they move, their servants, though dressed in judicial robes, will learn that they are but servants and subject to dis missal at the will of the master. News and Observes. A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E Springer, of 1126 Howard St. Philadelphia, Pa , when she found that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough that fur many years had made life a burtlen. AH other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this Koyal Cure ' it soon removed the pian in my chest and I can now Bleep soundly, PomelhiDg I oau (scarcely remember doing before.

The Southerner Las this on the authority of Dr. L. L. Staton, who has successfully tried it several times on bis herd of cattle when he turned them into a new pasture. The first time he tried it bo said his cows were almost covered with the little pest, but in a week the last one had disappeared. Splenic fever, which in some sections of the State is fatally prevalent with cattle, is communicated by ticks. Sulphur there fore. whie adding to the comfort of the beasts, will also act as a preventive. Tar boro Southerner. Robbed the Grave. A startling iucideat, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skiu was al most yellow, eyes sunken, toneue coated. pain continually in back and sides, no ap petite gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately a friend advised trying 'Elec tric Bitters;' and to my great joy and sur prise, tbt first bottle made a decided im provement. 1 continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try tfiem, uniy&oc , guaranteed, at Plymouth Uti Co, 5 THE OLD NORTH STATE. HArrioNisos within hku isoudf.ks.
