DAILY OBSERVER. Thursday, Jane 21, 1877. CHAS R. JONES, . Editor Proprietor. "Free from the doting -scruples that fetter oar free-horn reason." INFLEXIBLE RULES. We cannot notice anonymous communica tions. In all oases we require the writer's name and address, not for publication, but m a guaiantee of good faith.

Articles written on both sides of a sheet of paper oannot be accepted for publication. OBSERVATIONS. James Gordon Bennett is expected to re tarn from Europe in July. Women can practice law in Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin. By a new law in Indiana marriages be tween persons nearer of kin than second cousins are forbidden. In Paris everything in feminine fashions is as tight as nature can endure. The rage extends to husbands in some cases. A son of the Green Isle refused to believe in "cheap papers1' because he did not think they "could afford to speak the truth for the money." r Dr Philip Eehaff. the famous biblical scholar, was nearly killed by fanatical Mos lems near Hebron recently. Hon Mrs Norton wrote "Love Not," and then, at seventy, made a loyeknot of matri mony with Sir Stirling Maxwell. Howev er, there is not necessarily any contradiction involved. ; It is said that only ten American vessels haye passed through the Suez Canal from 1867 to 187G. The caoal ought to be man aged Suez to make a better showing than that. The trade of the United States with Rus sia durine the calendar year of 187C, was so small as to be positively absurd. The ex ports to Russia were only $9,689,000, and $3,266,000 of that was raw cotton, and $656, 000 more was petroleum. The imports were, only $626,000. A comical effect of the late Tilden-Hen-dricks demonstration in New York is the sudden friendship which the Republican papers h'stye developed for Mr Hendricks. mey are sure that Tommy, not Sammy, is the comiag man. Such artlessness ! Somebody writes to the Baltimore Gazette as follows : I haye been so frequently called upon of late to explain the meaning of the . degree of D C L, conferred upon Gen Grant by Oxford University, tli at I beg leave for its publication in your journal. DGL are the initials of the latin sentence, "Destilla' toribus Circumventor Legum," which ren dered into English is, "A circumventor of the laws for the benefit of distillers." It is to be hoped that all the universities of Europe will each confer a degree upon our late President equally as appropriate and each expressing one of the nUmerbusyirtues for which he has distinguished himself. DEATHS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTST. . " That erratic &n& politically unstable sheet, the New" York HeraU, a few Bays , ago proceeded to read the death war rant of the democratic party, erected a tomb-stone, and on it, as a memento of the past, engraved suitable head lines. On Thursday-it trie its baridin pro nouncing the death of 'the republican 1 party. In a long leader occurs this ; sentence : "The republican party also "is dead as dead as it can be ; as dead 'as Julius Csesar in his deadest mo "ments; as dead as a door nail, or as "the rat in the proverb ; as dead, in "short, as the democratic party ; or if . "anything could be deader than the 1 "democratic party , iVdead as that." We confess ourself a constitutional doubter, and the political course of the Herald has not tended to drive away any doubts we may have had, . or any political information we may have oh tained by reading the Herald for the' past ten years, and as we didn't be lieve the Herald , in its statements in regard to the democratic party, we fear that the announcement of the death of :, the republican party is not entitled to ' ; , more credenee. The elections which have been held in different portions of the United States, since last November, indicate that both parties possess the n k v" requisite quantity of life and vigor to -4 . make a stubborn fight. One or the other must give way, and with the lights before us, we are constrained to . jr uivxsi De tne republican party, but we should be untrue to our trust, in sounding the notes of the political "diapason, did we not say that it will I I 5$ h4fie latfall to foist a J.f fd!W Resident $ this land of "r r .

We dit there lsiitl else than the "cohesive power of public plunder" to hold il together, but that power will infuse into it considerable vigqrand vitality, until it has had the life literally kicked out of it UntH that time all the ' paeans of praise1, or all the posthumous obitua ries which may be sung or eaid Ly the New York Herald amount to nothing. That it received its death blow by the decision of a packed jury where eight always beats seven, we believe; but it may revive to give the country much trouble yet, unless that blow is follow ed up by a few more, at the hands of the democratic party, They will be given; the democracy will triumph, but the work before it is no easy task, and those whoT think differently will learn to the contrary probably, to their sorrow. The fact that there are now in ex ike nee among the colored people in this State, and other Southern Stater societies, whose object is to foster and encourage emigration to Liberia, is exciting some comment. The enter prise has always been a sickly and ill- judged one and grows feebler with age- It is authoritatively stated that hearty $3,000,000 has been expended in send ing over about twenty or thirtj thous and negroes from this country, and now the danger of the whole communi ty's lapsing into barbarism i3 so" great that the intelligent leaders are advo cating the repeal of the color-line for the constitution admits none but "persons of color" to citizenship and the encouragement of white immigra tion. - It is a rather unexpected con fession, and could only have been ex torted by stern experience, but is even the more significant on that account. The Fourth of July in Boston will be celebrated by orations from Mr. Blainei ex Governor Chamberlain, Rev. Theo" dore Cuyler and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Mrs. Mary Clemmer will de liver a poem. There is a well founded suspicion that the staple of the prose and poetry will be hatred of the solid South and revival of a regular old blood-hound of Zion chorus. Verily, affairs begin to look pretty squally for the present set of North Carolina national office-holders. Hampton has resigned as clerk of the Federal Court at Asheville, Douglass and Franks are in the meshes, and one Hawkins, nephew of Lusk, has fled the State. Hester has given another ex emplification of the fact that a thief is the proper person with whom to catch a thief. The appointment of Kenneth Rayner to the solicitorship of the treasury is charged to Mississippi, in which State he claims citizenship. He is a native of North Carolina of Hert ford county, if we are not mistaken. Father Taft's prospects for the Ohio gubernatorial nomination are not very rosy, and the people of Ohio are to be congratulated over the tact. A Co lumbus correspondent of the Pittsburgh lelegraph, gives the following points about Tan : "I have just had a conversation with a gentleman who knows Judge Taft intimately, and he informs me that the ex-Attorney General's opposition to President Hayes is because bbe latter has so completely revolutionized the functions of the Department of Jnstice, and repudiated the former's construction of the law involving purely political questions. The recent charge to the jury at Ellenton, in which Chief Justice Waile gave the highest judicial sanction and endorsement to the President's policy, and most dis-. tinctly reprimanded the late Attorney General's interpretation of the law, has had" ihe 7 effect of souring Judge Taft, and has -doubtless confirmed him in his opposition to the policy of the Administration. But out of all the delegates thus far chosen, I am assured that not more than three or four have expresed a preference for Judge Taft. Ti. ' - i 1' 1 ii. a i y . is not iineiy mai ne win nave tne support efa single delegate from his own county of Hamilton." Dr J M Sims, second to no medical man in America, a South Carolinian resident in Kew York, has contributed a paper to the Virginia Medical Monthly upon the "Uiscovery of Anaesthesia." The Yankees claim everything. A dentist of Boston, Mass., Horace Wells by name, lias had the credit of the discovery. The Richmond Dispatch says : "Dr. Sims proves by a mass of in controvertible evidence that the dis covery was made by Dr. Crawford W. ong, now practicing his nrofession in Athens, Ga., in the early part of 1842 about two and a half vears befor Wells claimed to have used it. Dr. ong used sulphuric ether by inhala tion, just as it is generally used among surgeons of this day ; Wells used mtreus oxide (or laughing) eas. Due publications were made, at the time of Long s discovery ; but, like so many other things in science of Southern origin, no due notice was taken of it. and thus proper credit was lost sight of until vr. elms learned the facts and put them in permanent form." Decision About Bets. Three Presi dential bets have been decided by the courts. :'The last cam up at Goshen, Ill.p It is thus recorded i Isaac Ay res, of Elkhart, offered to bet $100 that Tildcn and Hendricks had received a majority of the electoral votes cast. Several Republican politicians accept ed the offer of Avres, and Jas. F. Hunt; a dry goods merchant, was f appointed the staKenoiaer. nueu iuprcun oi the election was declared by Congress, Hunt turned over tne money to the Remihlicans under protest,! Ayres at the time declaring that he would sue v.; em- fV mnnev. Avres sued Hunt in Elkhart and was beaten, but appeal ed: the eas( 40 the Circuits which came up before Judge!

Reported for the Raleigh News, by Walter Liars:, JUiq , Attorney-at-Liaw.J 6. Hasty vs. Simpson. Wh ere judg ment was taken in the Superior Court of Union county, and execution issued to Mecklenburg county, where the de fendant resided, Held: That supple mentary proceedings upon return of the execution "not satisfied." Was nren- erly sued out before the clerk of Union Superior Court, but that he should nave appointed a referee to take the examination of the judgment debtor in Mecklenburg. . 7. Jones vs. Ward. Where the prop erty of "A has been Beized by an om cer under an execution against "B," the former can sustain an action for claim and delivery against the officer. The provision that claim and delivery will not lie for property taken by virtue of an execution, for a tax, Ac, applies only when the owner of the property taken, is the defendant in the execu tion, or owes the tax, &c. 8. Bl ike vs. R: tpass. Whf re a j udg ment was taken against "A," who sub sequently became a lunatic, That supplementary proceedings could be sued out against the guardian, and that the debt not being incurred for the maintenance of the lunatic the Superior Court, and not the Probate Court had the authority to grant sup plementary proceedings. Held further: That a judgment could be enforced against a lunatic's estate te the same extent as againtt any one else subject to the limitation that enough of the estate must be left untouched to se cure the maintenance of the lunatic. 9. Parton vs. Wood. The surrender and cancellation of a bond, though paid only in part, is a "deed in fact" and is as lull ana complete as a release under seal. The doctrine that a part payment does not extinguish a debt rests on the necessity of a considera tion to support an existing agree ment, which is otherwise nudum pac tum. Where an executor asked for judg ment for balance unpaid on bonds surrendered by him, in a compromise with debtor, and m the same action the executor and devisees asked that the debtor should be declared a trustee of the amount abated on said bonds on the ground that the compromise was procured by fraud, Held: That there was a misjoinder, the causes of action being inconsistent. Held further- That if a debtor accepts from the exe cutor of his creditor, a release or sur render of his bonds, the executor being a legatee to an amount equal to the amount released on the bonds, the mere fact that the debtor paid no con sideration for the deduction, is not, in the absence of imposition, undue influ ence, accident or mistake, eufficint ground to declare the debtor a trustee of the unpaid portion of the debt nor for their pro rata part of it for the benefit ot the other legatees. 10. Windlyvs Bradshaiv. To support an attachment against property, it must appear by affidavit, not only that the defendant is anon-resident, but that he has property in this btate. lhis is so even, though the order of publication and warrant of attachment aver that there was such an affidavit. The sug gestion that there may have been an unwritten affidavit, will not cure the defect. There can be no such thing as an "unwritten affidavit." An affi davit is a "sworn statement in wri ting." See Webster's and Bouvier's Dictionaries. Go Back! To the young man with his hair parted in the middle, who is about to put his college 'education and sole leather trunk aboard the Texas bound train, we say stop ! To the clever artist and honest mechanic who thinks he will fly from the hard times where he is, to imaginary well paid employment in the JLone btar btate, we also say stop! To the adventurous rustic who wishes to leave the turnips of some New York farm to find a soft thing in this land of prairies, we emphatically repeat stay where you are ! We would we inhabited the earth of h-lysium, that a few Texas papers say we do, .but we don t. Jb rom the bottom of our hearts we would be glad to think that there was plenty and prosperity for every one who seeks to settle among us out ail the same there isn t. We do poasesa something ofan approach to thei eternal summer and marvellous growth the East is so tired of hearing us brag about, out that isn't all. sooth to say there is no chance here for men without money, all the eaeer, new arrivals to the , contrary, notwithstand ing. In plain Enelish.the paver thatspeaks of the magnificant opportunities this State presents to the new comer lies and lies in a very gratuitously criminal way indeed. The unvarnished truth is that our labor market is already stocked to overflowing, and every fresh arriving tram but adds to the miser' able multitude in our midst that suffers, starves and finally fights its desperate way back mst again. iJelore the door ol nearly every house in this city, there daily begs a hollow-eyed swarm that would sadden the heart of a satyr. Men of brain and culture, good clerks, excellent account ants, business men of undeniable energy, mechanics of ability, walk the streets in dumb despair, and finally take those that lead to the chain gang, and the work -house. The writer of this cannot remember one evening, for many, that he has not been a air a1 wtstAtr tit hiltf a Mrt aal ti by men who would have Booner died on the rack than have asked aims: in the light of day. And some of them do die on the rack the rack of contin ued disappointment and misery. Yet still some journals calmly sing the same old siren song, and still this over traded land financially prostrated community is held up with fatal per sistence as the proper Mecca of the American youth. ' We bee the journals in the East and North to copy this article. We ask that the truth and the whole truth be told there as a simple duty to humanity, in the name ot the distress we see around and are powerless tolrelieve, in nam e of th e tramps and vagrants that our cities ana towns, we soiemniy warn intending immigrants of all classes. except farmers , and men with money to invest, that we are overstocked with labor, and will be for the next four or nye years. - Though his ticket be pur- uuwea ana nis trunk packed, we say w tne man lrtalrmor hit. to at frr txm. ploy to entGo back !

Mr. Smalley, the London correspond ent of the New Tribune, is not addicted to "go-sip." and there ia probably some truth in this story about the naughty Prince of Wales: A story is circulating that the Princess of Wales is going to live at Copenhagen. She is alleged to be so outraged by the last public in fidelity of her husband that she can endure the position no longer.. ..1, oo not believe it, but I repeat it aa a piece of gossip which has already travelled far. The princess i on her way heme from Greece, and the Prince nas gone to meet her. Her return and bis de parture are alike rather sudden, one was not expected quite so soon, and this change of plan has naturally help-: ed to propagate the rumor of a serious ids world asks, in its cVnicai 'way what there ia in this new ion with'Lady S. more public or more offensive to the Princess than in any or all the others with which she has borne. The Princess has. been thought to take a philosopnicai or shal I say royal ? view of these mat' ter?. A remark is imputfa w u which, if she really made it, would confirm that theory. "Bertie," she is reported to have said, "has loved many women, but ne naa ioou me best oi all " And in truth, ;whatever else has been ureed again?t the Prince, nobody ever accused him of the lesser domestic sins of treating his wife coldly, or failing in all outward atten tions or in constant Kinaness pi man- ner. This is wretcnea gossip, anu x don't see what entertainment the American people can find in it; if they like it, so much the worse for them, and for me. A Medicine for Many Uses. A medicine which remedies dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, debility, in termittent and remittent fevers, urinary and uterine troubles, depurates the blood, coun teracts a tendencv to rheumatism and gout, and relieves nervousness, maybe truly said to have many uses, such an article is llos tetter's Bitters, one of the most reliable al teratives of a disorderly to a well ordered state of the system ever prepared or sold.

It is highly esteemed in every part of this country, and ir extensively used in South America, Mexico, the British pos sessions and the West Indies. In its in crease in public favor in the past is to be a regarded as a reliable criterion of its gain in popularity in coming years, it has indet d a splendid future belore it. SPECIAL NOTICES.
