The JiMeffMeiH: ness tickets and officers' costs paid Dy rxms ooaraa, tha ,eoun,Ue&i embrace UfTI M I I HI III III I I LJJ but the aerirreuate is ereat. I will here make three suecestions by which think- mnnev mav be saved to the tax- !ayer without any detriment to the pub ic good: First. By simplifying the forms of all bills of indiptmentj Hov often is it the case thitaliolicltor, in iht huJfldpresSuw1 Of the court, fails to put in his bill a " not," a 44 said," or an " aforesaid witn wnicnrouxMoms of- indietmont bristle-rso-rfrightf ally, Acta flmnmiiliiiA anrl. w.hp.n tha xnaJ is had the bill is qUaMd fnjudg(ntLLmj.

Tne result is a guilty man es- We need a statute which enacts "Tht very bill of indictrnent which,charges in wdfais" yttiffldiayde'trmoiit re gard to form the offense for which the defendant is to be tried so that he can know the charme,isr,tome.et halLbe held bv the cOur urfst6Wgood. Second, by giving justices of the peace power tjo try and determine feeitaift'-petty cases upon proper complaint, so as to iari redued our! rowdHd State dockets it mwht tn he fixnresslv forbidden for. the county to pay any costs incurred inf anv trial hefore anv luatice of the; Peace 1. where he takes final jurisdiction. Thirds by making it mandatory by statute, that, in a certain class of cases, the so- JicitOB!fUall notend a bill of indict- ment before the grand jury without en dorsing thereon a prosecutor, and that the judge snairtravenne power in ail cases and at any time before judgment to direct the soticitOKtodo so. The tendency of legislation in this State since the war has been to create a ses to protect private rights, which were formerly redressed by civil suits. Injury to real estate, injury to personal property, injury, to live stock entering upoifiattkis-after being forbidden to do O so, fesaoyingTor destroying mortgaged property, removing crop by tenant l)e fore rente and charges are paidaridthe like, are some of them. The public ' is not interested in this class of cases, and the counties ought not to have the cos rd pay.' "' Then, too, when a man resorts to the criminal law, as is often the case, to harrass and annoy his neighbor, and it so appears to the court, the taxpayer ought to be protected against the costs in such rases. ....... I think these modifications in our sys tem of administering the criminal law coupled witn a rigid scrutiny or every bill of costs to be paid the county be fore it is allowed, will save to the tax- pavers an average of one thousand dol lars to the county per annum. In some counties it will be more, in many less If I am .correct, this will give a net sav ing to the people of 94,000 every year. But if am too higli in my estimate, and it shall be reduced one-half, then it will amount to $47,000. This question of costs paid by -the counties in proceedings in criminal cits es is of much ; more Importance than one who hasi never investigated the subject is likely to suppose. .But add to this the 115,000 paid annually for the maintenance and custody of the con victs, and one may well say "the crime of the country is eating up the property of the country." The subject is well worthy of the thoughtful consideration of the tax payer and the retrencher. It is the part of wisdom- and sound economy to make this crime contribute as much as possible to develope and in crease thevalue of that property wlrich it so heavily taxes. And for one I de sire the declaration-to go forth now to all men tnat tney will nntt it to their in terest, as well as their comfort, to live by honest toil and labor J The man who commits crime expecting to live in idle ness while in the custody of the law, will, so far as I am concerned, find he has made a great mistake. , If he never knew what hard work was the State will teach him. 1 have no patience "With crime or idleness, and. a provision of law to hire out, by county authorities, persons who r.oin mit jcrimaand wUl-Bot voluntarily worlt to pay ior it, wju, in mv-drfliiioijL tehrl tb'J lesWh. drnae and relieve the bmdens that rest upon hon- estmen.-;- . ;.' i o -.- i ; We have already accomplished enough with thiscqiivict labor to teach us that it properly, usea we can maee it an iiu portant factor in developing the wealth and resources of the State. - With it vte have slowly but steadily climbed the mountain side, filling here an immense .gorge and there makings huge excava- uonwi. a. splendid, pass way has, peeji made tor tne locomotive, where out a few years ago the way was Impassable for man or beasts W ith it we have re- mo ved,barrier that rose up in our way mountain high, and when they were too high to be scaled we bored .through them.

While I am free to admit that the trade and commerce of the State cannot be con trolled by legislation without injury to many of our best citizens, I at the same time insist that if the shipper in Ral eigh or Charlotte can get an outlet on our own coast on as good terms as he can by a route that tends to build up cities and towns of other States he is in duty bound to give North Carolina the preference. So when our people can buy. at' home as cheaply as they can abroad they j ougnt to encourage tneir home mer chants, their home mechanics, their home manufacturers and every enter prise of their own State. All petty jeal ousies and rivalries between industries and sections which tend to keep one down because it may outstrip another ought to cease, and as the devoted chil dren of one grand old mother, we ought to iaoor togetner to neip each other and to make her prosperous and great I hope I will be pardoned for an allu sion to myself on this occasion. In my childhood I read about the Governor of North Carolina and invested him with the highest honors that befall mankind. As I toiled and labored on the little farm by the side of the sea, in noble old Currituck, I wondered if it were possi ble for me ever to reach that high and exaiteu position. The prospect then seemed eloomv. but I said I will try. Guided in all things by the lessons of honesty ahd In tegrity taught me by a pious mother and a holy father, aided by devoted and generous friends and favored by a noble anu cnivairous people, i nave to-oay reached the goal of my youthful, ambi tion, and am about to enter upon the discharge of the duties of that office hiehlben seemed so far awavout of my reach. Now- it is mine by the free gift of the peopled bntl -still think it is an honor of which the greatest and best of men may be proud.. Although at comes by indirection and by what some may can accident, i thinK it none the less great, l am aware of the fact that while this position confers upon me such great distinction it at the same time places upon me grave responsibili ties, Now my ambition is to so meet these responsibilities as to merit the ap proval of the people. To this end all that I have and am shall be unreserved ly dedicated. All that I do shall be done with an eye single to the public good and with entire impartiality. The hum- oie ana tne weaK snail nave the protec tion, in all their rights, of the strong arm of the law. The strong and the mighty must obey its mandates. And in all things as far as in me lies 1 will try to so discharge mv duties that the people will feel as little as possible their loss or tne great man who to-day sur renders into my hands the important trust they committed to him.

H Direct Importations. Wilmington Star. During the discussion incident to the proposed extension of the Air-Line Railroad, several papers have referred insinuatingly, if not disparagingly, to the inability of our business men to supply trade wants on as advantageous condi tions as cities beyond our borders. As if with a purpose, they ignored the fact that we import molasses, sugars, crock ery, glass-ware, and the like, direct from the manufactories abroad. In BOtne if not all these branches of business New York orders can and will be duplicated here. It was only a few days since that the barquentine : Nancy Holt reached this-1 port with " crockery ior Messrs. Williams & Miirchison, of this city, direct from English potteries, and if the people of the State properly sustain us, we will be able at an early day to sup ply them with any article -from a mi croscope to a sausage machine, from su- ?ar to coffee, from boots to shoes, rom calicoes to silks, eta, at prices as low as similar goods can be purchased even in Gotham. i , i m i i i i i Excitement in a Theatre. . , An alarm of fire, caused by waves of smoke ascending from fresh coal put Into a furnace, caused' considerable ex citement in Masonic Theatre, Nashville, Tenn- Tuesday night, when a large audience wa? witnessing; the perform ance bf liichard ILL by , Mr. John Mc- vjuiiougn. in a tew moments two hun dred persons had left the theatre, and the smoke had enveloped the right side or the stage.
