Jordan, t reasurer of the United States, shows that the net revenue of the government during che last fiscal year was $322,690,706, or $24,829,163 less than that of the preceding year, while the expenditure was $260,226, . 35, or $16,100,690 greater than that of the preceding year. The surplus avaliable for the reduction of the public debt at the close of. the fiscal year was therefore $40,929,854 less than was available on the 1st of July, 1884. The assets according to the Dew form of statement September 30, 1885, were $574,708,256, or an increase of $55,018,007 over 1884: the liabilities were $380,381,777, an increase of $10,s 216,591 over 1884:; aad the balance $194,326,478, an increase of $44,801,- 416 over 1884. During the seme eriod there has been an increase of $33,463,633 in the gold assets, of $22,095,016 m the sil ver assets, $6,776,423 in the legal tender assets, $171,284 in the national bank assets, and $1,147,107 ia nation al bank deposits. The "bullion fund" or deposits in the mint were, on the 30th of June of this year, $148,504,s 629, as against $141,648,068 on J me 30, 1884. Silver certificates to the amount of $40,000,000 were issued, and $20,990,045 were redeemed dufK ing the year. Gold certificates of the old issue amounting, to $52,420 were redeemed. Of the new issue, $63,000,000 were is sued and $21,017,100 redeemed. Called bonds of the United States amounting to 45, 968, 600 were re deemed, ot which amount 4d, 588, 150 was for the sinking fund. The national banks withdrew $53, 303,350 of bonds held to secure their circulating notes, and $31,500,700 of bonds were deposited for that pur pose, a net decrease of $22002,650. The total movement of bonds was $91,865,950. The national hanks paid into the treasury on account of semi annual duty on their circulation the sum of $2,734,584, which was $230,- 084 less than was paid onthat account the preceding year. The books of the treasury show that the disbursing officers of tfae United States had to their credit at the close of the year $21,126,059. The unavail able funds of the treasury were inv creased from $29,S14,665 to $29, 525, s $25 during the year. The unavailable funds, including the deposits with the States, (28,101-. 044,) amount to $29 562,602.80, which includes one of $25,341.61 in New Orleans, and one of $11,857.37 at the assay office at Boise City, Idaho. The amount provided for the sinking fund was $45,585,150. The treasurer recommends that the provision for the fund be reduced to $15,000,000 per annum. Digest of Opinions of the Supreme . Court. Raleigh News and Observer, Covington vs. Rockingham. 1. The town of Rockirrgham is not authorized by its charter (private laws of 1872-73, chap. 51.) or by the general statutes on the subject (the Code, vol. 2, chap. 62,) to assess prop erty for taxation. Towns and cities are required to base their levies upon the assessments made for State and county purposes. 2. A tax list made up by one who is not a member of the taxing body, but who acts under its direction and as its agent, is not thereby made in valid, "t 3. Remedy for errors in imposing taxes should be first brought by ap plication to the taxing body, upon whom ample powers are conferred for this purpose. 4 The collection of proper reven ues for the support of municipal cor porations will never be interfered with by injunction for mere irregu larities, particularly where the irreg ularities are the result of the negli gence of the tax payer. 5. It is a settled rule of law that an injunction will not be granted to re strain the collection of a tax, a por tion of which is legal and a portion illegal, until the applicant has paid that which is legal (if it can be sep arated and distinguished from the illegal) and the complaint must point out what part is valid and what in valid, so that the court may discrim inate between them. Roper Lumber Company vs Wal lace. 1. Under the Code system of prac tice, equitable relief may be granted in every civil action where it shall be made properly to appear that any of ..the parties thereto are entitled to it. 2. The distinction between the prin ciples of law and equity are not abol ished, nor are those systems blended, only the distinctions in the forms of procedure and in the tribunals in which they were formerly adminis tered arp abrogated. 3. , Causes of action distinctly legal and causes of action purely equitable may be united in one complaint, if they have reference the same subject matter and arise out of the same transaction. It is not necessary how ever that they should be so united. Te Code, 3,267. 4. In certain respects, particular ly with regard to the remedies by ins junction and appointment by re ceivers.the powers of the courts have been enlarged by the provisions of The Code Sections 338 and 379. 5. Where, in an action to recover land the plaintiff applied for and ob tained an injunction against the cut ting and removing timber by the de fendant, and the latter in his answer denied the plaintiff's title, averred title in himself, and alleged that the plaintiff was cutting and carrying away timber, which was of peculiar value for mapufacturing purposes, it was held (1) that while the courts should be reluctant to intefere with bona fide industries and enterprises by injunction, they would require tne piaintirr to give oona to answer the defendants in possible damages, and would also appoint a receiver who should take and state accurate accounts of the timber cut and re moved by the plaintiffs until the cause should be heard on its merits, notwienstanaing tne piaintiris are solvent. (2). That the defendant's answer rsised a counter-claim proper for the consideration of the court. The Code, section 244. 6. It is not now necessary in an application for an injunction to en join a trespass on land, to allege the insolvency of the defendant when the trespass is continuous in its nature, or is the cutting and destruction of timber trees. Chapter 401, laws 1885. Jones vs. Call et al. 1 The evidence of the destruction or loss of a paper preliminary to let ting in proof of its contents is ad dressed to the court, and its finding, when there is any evidence, in con clusive and reviewable on appeal s5 2. The rule requiring the produc tion of the writing itself as the best proof of what it contains does not extend to mere notices which per sons are not expected to keep. 3. The admission of irrelevant ev dence, if it does not appear to have misled or prejudiced the jury, will not be deemed erroneous. WITTKOWSKY & All mm Are Appreciated by the People. PRICES PLANT BED BURNER. An Invention by One of North Car olina's Distinsruished Sons. Editor of The Observer: Oxford, N. C, December 8th, 1885. The author of this invention is Capt. J. H Horner, ol the celebrated "Horner's School," of this town, and who is so widely known in every part of North Carolina, in connec tion with his school. The invention is known and patent ed as "The Plant Bed Burner," and its application to curing tobacco in barns as well. The patent has been most thorough ly tested last season, and there is no sort of doubt as to its great need to all planters in Itobaccogculture, and in carrying in barns. "This in vention, is designed to facilitate and economize the burning, preparing of plant beds," which has been hereto fore a task not only difficult but at tended with considerable expense in fuel, and the time itiusually took to do it. By the Horner process, one day is ample for preparing and cur ing a plant bed 100 square yards, and burned and prepared by this process may be relied upon with absolute certainty, and the farmer will not need to prepare three or four beds to avoid the failure of one or more of hisbeds. It takes only one required by the old fourth of the labor further claimed, that the soil being more thoroughly burnt and pulveriz ed will produce more healthy and vigorous plants, and furnish plants at least ten days in advance of plant beds burnt and prepared by the old process. Thus mudh for the plant bed burner is equally well adapted to flue curing tobacco, and requires only one third the quantity of wood ordinarily used in curing tobacco. Where there is a great scarcety of wood in the coun try as is now so generally the case all over the tobacco belt of the coun try; this invention has surely struck in at the right time. This in vention will prove of immensepecun iary benefit to Mr. Horner. He has been a long time in perfecting it. It will serve the same purpose in ridding yards and gardens infested with the nutt and wire grass, and kills them out entirely. Ijiarge breaks of tobacco are had evgry day now at the four tobacco warehouses here. The tobacco as a general thing thus far is certainly vely inferior in quality but it is gen erally believed by the tobacco men thdt the whole crop is inferior to th4t of last year, though in some sec tions of this county, it is as fair as it evr was. One thing is undoubtedly tnie, it commands fine prices, and farmers are well satisfied. T. tenth of the fuel process, and one expended. It is Pasteur Quite Busy. Parts Horning News.
