THE TENURE OF OFFICE ACT.
An able democratic-writer dors
not believe that the , tenure-of-office
. act which was passing during Presi
dent Johnson's term by the republic
ems is in conformity with the con-
TTnifced States. He
tavfl that: it. violates the constitution
in the following pai ticulars ;
-1 Tn fnrhiddine the . President to
remove officers when ho regards it to
be hi i duty to displace them. .
2. In requiring the j President to
ret -t f i the f-nate hie reasons for a
'.tionof the officer when the Senate
'. does not approve the reasons assigns
csd. " -
V 3 Tn matlrur it a criminal offense
fe) accept and perform the r duties of
an office not authorized by the act.r ; ,
- 4. In declaring it to be a high mis
demeanor for the President to issue
commissions to appointees under the
-constitution, if not permitted by, Ihis
mnconstitutional law. . - ,
5. In making it a criminal offense
tb allow and pay for -the services of
fficers duly appointed by the Pres
ident under the constitution,' though
Sot appointed In conformity, with the
requirements of this statute.
Thes9 provisions are, the writer
fcolds, authorized by the constitution
nd are calculated to prevent the
president from performing his sworn
duty to see that the laws .are duly
Executed ; to produce insubordina-1
tion among officers, and to continue j
incompetent men and rogues in office
and prevent the proper execution of,
the laws It was, passed to continue
partisans in service when they ought
to be' removed for the good of the
public service, A move will probably
be made very : early to attack -the
tenure-of-office act.

The manner in which steel i3 su
; arcaAir.cr fhft iiRA ftf iron in various
directions is further illustrated by
the use, at present; of hardened and
tempered steel wire upon cards' for
otton and wool. The average life
f a suit of card clothing upon . cots
ton instated to be "about , six ; years,
and upon wool considerably leS3 than
that. The use of steel wire in place
of . iron has 'not been tested Jong
enough to determine its comparative
durability; but it is claimed to do
leetter work and reauire less freauent
grinding. - On this account, it is said,
texitile manufacturers 'are disposed
to incur the increased cost, amounts
rog to from 50 to. 100 per cent, above

THE NEW SOIJTII CAROLINA
HEN LAW,
The South Carolina Legislature, has
passed a bill providing that the land
lord shall have a lien upon the crops
d his tenant for his rent in prefer
ence to all other liens, and that labor
-era who assist in making any crop
shall have a lien thereon to i the ex
tant of the amount due Jhem for las
, bor , next in prior ity to the lien of the
landlord. This leaves liens for sup
plies to come in after the landlord
and laborer shall have been satisfied.
The j. effect, - we fear," , says the
Charleston News "will be to put se
rious difficulties in the way- of the1
large Douy or smaii rarmers wno rent
their farms and who aire not in cons
dition to farm without help until the
next crop comes in.1-'

It was noticed in the Wilmington
papers, week before last, that the
residence of a gentleman in that city
v came.near being burned down, and
was in .fact considerably damaged,
by the catching on fire of one of these
mantel lambrequins," as they are
called, which some ladies hang down
from their mantel-pieces, in front of
the fire, as an , invitation to the
sparks, and to the matches which
t are thrown at the fire place. Within
the past two years three houses in
thi3 town have been near being de
stroyed by these things - catching
lire, uiiiy ia:ib ween, memoers oi a
family here, passing the parlor door
cne evening,' noticed a brilliant light
in the room, and looked in to find
the 'lambrequin" and the mantel piece
blazing r cheerfully. These
"lambroquins" ho w we wish Judge
Uloud could have uvea to see one and
to charge a jury about them! are
cf no more account than a "tidy" or
a fifth wheel to a wagon, and if there
' u a man who reads this who is boss
zX homa and ia whose home there is
a "lambrequin," ha ought to go right
straight there and tear the thing
do77n.

consultation between the committee
on grievance's of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and the offi

company had granted all the requests
con tain ea in tne letter or grievances

teveral days ago, with the exception
ot tne o:a6 Hour clause.- The engms
?r lKVrd th.it nine instead of eight
hours Hhouid constitute a day's
work; -Under this agreement a full
hour's pay is to be allowed when an
engineer is called upon to wore a
fraction of an hour over the specified
nine hours. The wages will be $3.50
a day for old engineers, $3 for all en
gineers promoted from : positions as

4 We are much pleased with the
settlement," said Chief Arthur. . "The
officials have dealt with us fairly; and
f-quarelyr and we have no fault to
find." -
VThe thing has been amicably" ad

A FADED STATE EirfE.
A Letter From the Governor sot-
IVorth Carolina to tlie Governor
of Virffinia, ' , ' A
On the 29th of December Governor
W. E. Cameron forwarded the fol-
Owing communication from the Gov
ernor of North Carolina,' to the gens
era! assembly' of Virginia for i is in-
formation:
C. Executive Department,
Raleigh, January 30, 1885
To His Excellency Gov. Cameron:
Dear Sir, It has been reported, to
mo by the representatives of - the
counties of Currituck, Camden, and
Gates,1 that those parts of said coun
ties bordering on the state of Vir
ginia are marked by no visible lines
or landmarks whereby- it can be dis
tinguished where the territory : of
North Carolina ends or ; where the
territory of Virginia begins. It has
further been represented to me1 that
the absence of any defined lines is the
source of great 'and increasing
troubles between citizens and lands
owners of the two states. By the laws
of North Carolina the power is vest
ed in the executive to appoint a com
missioner, - who, by your excellency,
will have power to establish the' line
between the two states. .This line,
in my opinion, should be marked out
and settled by ptain and distinguish
able' landmarks, and if your excels
lency should agree, with rae, I trust
you will appoint such a commission
er, with' full powers to act in' the
premises. v. ' - , . : ;
With great respect, I am sir,
Your obedient servant,
. . " - A. M. Scales,
Governor of North Carolina.
By the Governor: ' ' ,
C H. Armfield, Private Secretary.
No action has been taken by the
legislature and no commissioner has
as yet been appointed by the gover ¬
nor, nor will he appoint any without
some action on the part of the legis
lature. '
. An Important Circular. ir
Col. W. L. Saunders, secretary of
State, has sent the following circular
to ; ; the . ; chairman5 xf the various
Boards of County Commissioners,
dated January 4: ; , , - t
; To give ample time to every delin
quent tax payer whose land has been
sold to the State for the non-payment
of his taxes to , redeem his property
at the least ' possible cost, I will - not
issue instructions for the bringing of
any suit. in the premises under the
recent act of Assembly to , enforce
the collections of unpaid taxes, until
the second Monday in Februarv. 1886
until which time redemptions can be
made on the same terms, allowed be
fore the firet day of this month I will
say further, for the information of
all parties concerned, that no' suit
will be brought in the following class '
es of cases m which deeds are lodged
in this office:' - -
. l. . Where parties - have receipts
from the sheriff or tax collector for
the time covered by the deed in this
office. In this cass let the party ex
hibit the receipt to the chairman of
the Board of County Commissioners
ana give a copy or tne same : to him,
to be forwarded to this office. r ; ?: -
' Where parties have paid the taxes
for the time covered by the deed in
tms onica and nave lost the receipts
therefor. . In this case, let aflidavit
be made by the party and ( given to
the chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners, to - be forwarded to
this office. . - ; r ;
3. Where the owner of -the land at

lslature tor such -action as it may
deem proper. I have written a simi
