Settle, J., delivering opinion. 'JtioVineut below modified and case rer manded. 'j. Under Set;. .188, C. C. P., an order of .Injunction may be made by aHy Judge of a 'Superior Court in this State in any case arising in the State.' 2. The auditing and allowing by e County Commissioners of claim against 'a county, outstanding tyefore the adaption o t!e nrs'eit Coiistiliition, is not such a 'yflVitiou of ttera as would place theia in the status of claims against the county 'arising after the adoption of the present Constitution. The opposite doctrine would linyojve the absurdity that so long as one kcfcoocA to hold an old debt it U better than 'a new debt, but tfye moment ha tries to col lect it, it becomes a new debt no better than other new debts. 3. Have County Commissioners the pow er to assess, levy an collect taxes more 'thaji enpe jn yea?'? "All taxes shall be "Jcyj'ed at their regular meeting on the first "Monday in February." Rat. Rev., ch. 27, sec. 8 (1). The fact that a writ of manda mus had been issued against the Commis sioners commanding them to assess, levy and collect taxes sufficient to pay off the indebtedness of the county could not warrant them in levying taxes in any other manner or at any other time than is pre scribed by law. The mandamus must be understood to mean that they shall levy 'and collect according to the general law governing the same. 4. The constitutional limitation and equation of taxation may be disregarded as to the old indebtedness, but applied to the new indebtedness. Puvall vs. Rollins, from Ashe, Rynum, J., f delivering opinion. Dnvall vs. Rollins, 68 N. C. 220, reheard : ' and approved. On the 5th ol October, 1870, A sold and transferred the proertv in dispute to B, tiiia son-in-law, in consideration of his under 'taking to support A and his wife, who were 'old. Qii the 25t h of October, 1870, execu 'tjpus came against A, who then had his F personal property exemption laid off and r assigned to him, embracing the same pro perty, from which it is interred that he still retained possession, notwithstanding the previous -sale of the 5th of October. On the 24th ot December, 1870, C at tached the property for debts of A and took possession, and on the trial of the ac tions the same day, B appeared and claimed the property as belonging to him, the plain tiff leing present and not objecting thereto. Afterwards, and before the sale by the officer, B being unwilling to become en gaged in litigation, recanted the contract $o made with his father-in-law. Alter "wards, C sqM the property under the judg ment fo obtained. A being present forbid ding and claiming the property as his per sonal exemption.

Kven where the taxes were ordered before the passage of this act, they cannot now V)e col(-ctej under an order fq cqllect roa Ijy 'the TrusteWof tbe township.

Ttn Thomand tfvtice Chrutiang Slaughr . tered. The French periodical, Mission Catho liques, of the last of July, give, the first authentic and detailed narrative of the re cent massacre of Roman Catholic native converts in China, The account as trans lated for the London Tablet, says: "The massacre broke out on the 25th ol February, when the 'literates, as the per secuting party is called, opened the cam paign Xv beheading two men in the ser vice of l?ere D wire and a Christian, whom they then threw into the river. The same day they burned the three village of Trun-Lam, Fic-Vinh, and Bau-Taeh, and massacred the inhabitants that were in them. Those who succeeded in escaping to the woods were hunted own with houmls, brought back, and killeif on the following day. The river was covere4 with bodies floating down it from the aide of Lareg. At that time the innrdereri were uiassacre ing the Christians of the parish of Holven, ami were burning their villages. Those who took refuge in the cliffs of the neigh borhood were hunted down and burned alive. The Grand Mandarin of Justice was at the market of Sa-Nam with 800 sol diers, but remained an inactive spectator of the massacre of the Christians of Nam Duong, only a few of whom were able to escape. The literates, who were the heads of the militia appointed to massacre the Chris tians, say that the work of extermination carried out under the eyesof the mandarins was coucerted between the court and the literates, and was done in reprisal for re cent events. The mandarins have just re ceived orders from the court not to employ auy other means save those of persuasion to stop the murderers in their career. One of the chiefs, who had just caused two Christians to be murdered on the high road, went on the parade before the Gov ernor of the Citadel, by whom he was dis missed with honor. On his return twenty women and children full under the sword of this man and his followers. He had just come from offering sacrifioj to the goddess of prostitution, to whom a famous temple that stands near the road is dedicated. "In several localities they take an entire family father, mother ami children bind them together with bamboos, and then lling the bundle of living humanity into the waves. First, however, they take pains to cut off the man's head. The, multitude of dead bodies thus fastened together in g rou pes of from eight to ten block up the principal river, but to the great surprise of everybody does not send forth any bad smell. There are then five parishes, con taining 10,000 Christians, which have to be blotted out of the mission, namely: Lang-Thank-IIuyen, Nam-Duong, Hoy-Yen, and Doreg Taank. Many of the victims died in the midt of flames. A village of more than 400 Chris tiaus was attacked by the literates, and soon became a prey to the flames. Among these 400 Christians were 120, more or less, who succeeded in saving themselves by tak ing refuge in a large village near by. The remainder, about 300, were nearly all massacred. Two small villages ol Chris tians, situated two hours1 walk from the place at which I then was, were hemmed in b,y the pagat.s. The mayor visited each house, numbered the Christians, and for bade llfeiu under threat of most severe punishment, to go out of doors. A few of the Christian women attempted to go to njarket tq keep tfyeinselves from starving. 'iHey ijeyer returned. Some pagan wo men who went with them say that the Christian women were captured and be headed. Two lrjen from one of these same villages hazarded a flight during the night. They pasned the great river by swimming, and caii)cto me to tell their npsfortunes. 'Alas, writes Archbishop Gauthier, from whose letter this information is chiefly de rived, I could do nothing but weep for tljem, being unable to do anything to suc cor them !' Two or three days afterward I learned that all the men iu the village had had their heads cut off, but the women and clildrei yi'H spared. And as their houses were intermingled with those of the pa gans, it was forbidden to Tqurn, then) down.'1 -!wr l?rom the yrashington Chronicle, Aug. 3d. A New Work on North Carolina. ye have receiver a copy qf a work just published at Raleigh, N. C, entitled "A Legislative Manual and Political Register of the State of North Carolina" for thjs year, compiled Ijy authority of the legisla ture of that State, under direction of the Secret ary of State, by John H. Wheeler. Of it the Daily News, at Raleigh, sys j "It is briinful of smisljeal mailer, ami prepared with great care aiul accuracy." The Democrat, at Charlotte, .ays; "Thi book should bp found iu every library." The Daily Journal, at Wilmington, savs: j "We have withheld any comment on this work, tor toe reasqn that we desired a little tiin,e for careful examination. A, more user ful work we have rarely, if ever, seen. 5 It combines more and varied information about our State, both present and past, than can anywhere Ue found. Indeed, it is scarpejy possible to ask a question about North Carolina that Wheeler's .If annul does not answer. Colonel Wheeler has added another to the obligations the old North State is under to him." We wish that eFcry State in our yn;on had such a work. Too litllo attention is pai4 to our own locaj history. We have examined this work, and are much gratified, with th glowing record it presents to the nwdest and unpretending State of North Carolina. It shows the date and place, the first landing of the Englishman on this con tinent, the date of w first bloodshed ojt the colonists by the royal arms, and the time land place of the first Declaration of Inde pendence from .Lugiish dominion. The trtHtitic.-I and historical tablesof the execu tive officers if the United, States are invab uable for reference, and the names, dates of terms of every one who ha- 4Mone the State some service,' either in executive, judicial, or legislative capacity, is herein preserved! We congratulate the State on the posses sion of such a work, and we art gratified to see that it is to be reproduced with addi tions at c:;ch session of the Legislature.

G. was one of the party indicted last year for circulating counterfeit money but 'waa never arrested, as he gave the Afar $hals to understand that he would do some killing before he would permit hinjself ia. Leu, aud as he waa veil knowj to be a man of his word, he was left alone. Recently, however, Capt. W. M. Manchester, the only democratic Deputy Marshal in the State, aud a man well known for his cool even reckless bravery, called on Capt. Gormley and effected his arrest without difficulty, aud he i now in jail. 4heville Citizen. Kscated. Dr. Blackburn, of Mitchell, who has been confined in our jail for some lime, under indictment for passing counter feit money, escaped a few nights ago, and has not yet been caught. Ashtcille Citizen. Z-f Judge Bynum, wife and daughter, are at the National Hotel, after a visit to Beaufort Tor the daughter's health.

During the storm of Wednesday night the barn of Mr Yancey Ballenger, a few miles lrom town, was struck by lightning and burned. Mr B. was absent on business in Rockingham county. There were in the barn at the time three mules and three cows, and under it some hogs. When Mrs. B. first discovered the barn on fire bIic called a trained dog, went to the barn, opened the door and told him to go in and drive out the mules, which he did ; he wasthen sent in to driveoutthe cows, which he did; he was then sent un der the barn alter the hogs, which he had considerable difficulty in driving out, but he stuck to them till the last one was out, although ho got pretty badly scorched him self. That dog is worth having. Greens boro Patriot. Coxvicted. Mr Gaftney, late Post Mas ter at Gaffuey Station in Gaston county, on the Air-Line Railroad, who was recently arrested for robbing the mails, was con victed of the crime in the U. S.

Suicinn. -We learn that Mr Martin Piivett, aged about 50 years, living two miles east ;f Monroe, N. C, committed sui cide on Friday, the 14th inst., by blowing out his brains with a shot gun. The de deceased had been in bad health for about a year, and at the time he committed the act was laboring under aberration of the mind. Lancaster Ledger. Remarkable. Capt. James L.

Holt of this place, was preparing a fire iu the cook stove, she met with a terri ble accident which cost her life. She was pouring kerosene oil on the wood, when the oil ignited, bursting the can and enveloping her iu one solid sheet of flame. She ran from the house and thus gave the alarm to the nejghbors, who came to her assistance, lit were unable to extinguish the flames until all her clothing was burned off, and her body almost charred. She lived twelve hours, when death relieved her from her suffering. She w$s about 22 years old and leaves one phild aged four years. Greensboro Patriot. Postponed. The Western N. C.

Oaksmith and Carteret County. Oak smith, the Independent, is electee to the Legislature froin Carteret pointy. Oak is a curious fish. IJu swears he is a conserva tive but the funniest ot all is how Oak played his cards, Sometime ago we learn be wat waited on by a committee of that section and ad vised to leave. Oak said he was going to leave. They asked him where he was going. Ho said he was going to the Legislature, So he fitted out his ship and took a sail to JJverpool and in plenty time for his summer's campaign he was bacK from Liverpool with a ship full of salt. He gave out notice for all the fishermen and white iqen and negroes to assemble at Suiyrna on a certain day and he wanted every family in Carteret county to come aixl get a sack ot salt, or enough tq do them, free, grathi, and for nothing. He had salt iu all sorts of blocks and shapes to be portioned out and distributed. On the day appointed the face of the waters was alive with boats coming in from all the straits and creeks anl sounds and bays in this section, and it looked like going into the highlands" to ee the multitude of 6sheruieu covering the waters. They all got their salt and swore they'd die for Oak smith. Sure enough they have elected him him and Oak says if you want to save Carteret county give it l.Jikigh '$250,000 for only $50." When we first read this offer our brain reeled at the suddenness of the fortune that was thrust upon us, ibr only $50. We felt half inclined to takie a couple, and give oa;e to the poor, just to link our name with jthe Astors and Ieabodys of the age. But we lost, the desire to purchase so much for so little money by reading aud thinking too much of the scheme. We discovered we were addressed as a mere fraction of a unit, and that unit a big one. The unit purchased the fortune for the benefit of its smallest fraction. In plain English, about sixty thousand persons put in o0 each to make one person rich. The odds were against us. We tried to figure out the. ghost of a chance, but we aban doned it iu despair. We reduced it to a sum in proportion. If we always lost in matching pennies, where the chances are equal, how much of a chance would we have to gain the fortune promised for "onlv 50," with fify-niue thousand lucky fel lows against us ? So we have turned our back on the $250,000 which has been offer ed to any one who can get it tor the modest sum of "only $50." Other young men may be tempted to part with their hard-earned wages at the instance of this great temptation. We advise them to fig ure up their chances. If they fail of a clear conception by pencil and paper, let them take 60,000 beans, color one black, throw it among 59,999 in the barrel, shake them thoroughly, and then try to pick out the black bean with their eyes shut. If they do not secure it on the firt trial they should avoid all lottery schemes, for they are not lucky; if they should secure it, they have still greater reason to keep clear, for such . a streak of luck would not occur to the same person more than once in a cen tury. A fortune is a good thing to have, but the only reliable way to secure it is to work for it. Follow some honest calling, be sober and industrious; deserve the con fidence and patronage of the community iu which you live; build up your reputation by the thoroughness of your work; and and spend less than you earn. These simple rules will iu time lead you on to wealth. Interesting Decision in Bankruptcy. Iu Chicago, recently, a merchant bought a stock ot jewelry aid to have been worth $30,000 for ft 13,000, from a firm shortly before their insolvency, they not disclosing their condition, but giving plausible rea sons tor the sale. The firm subsequently becoming bankrupt, their assignee in bank ruptcy brought suit against the merchant, claiming that the sale was void, being in fraud of the bankrupt act. The Court ruled, however, to the contrary, holding that the good faith of the purchaser had not been clouded ; and that he could not at the time of the purchase be supposed to know the truth of the circumstances alleg ed, nor have then been able to ascertain them upon inquiry. Could he have done so upon inquiry at that time, the Court in timated that the decision would have been otherwise. A Matrimonial Lottery. There is a chance now for portionless young orphans to effect marriages and give to the lucky husband in addition to themselves the sum of $1,000 as a dowry. A society has been formed for this purpose, iu imitation of the many in existence in Europe. Iu the old country, however, the benefits of such a society are not limited to orphans, but are extended to poor Jewish girls iu general, and probably if the new society attain any success here, its scope will be similarly enlarged. Its present object is certainly praiseworthy. It offers inducements to good girls to enter the married state with out any fear that their poverty will de-v grade them iu the sight ot their husbands. We have extensive organizations in which $1,000 are paid to the widow and next of kin on the decease of a member, and the law is vastly popular. Why may not an equal popularity be accorded to this young orgauzat ion, which has a most cheerful ob ject ? Jewish Messenger. Postal Regulations. The following changes in the postal regulations, made by the last session of Congress, will be found interesting to the general public : "Letters with request to return printed or written thereon are to be returned with out additional postage. When a subscriber to a newspaper changes his residence and desires his paper forwarded to his new of fice, transient rates of postage of one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereot must be charged on each copy as received. If a party receives a paper from the office of publication ami re-mails it he must pay postage on it at the rate of one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. Pamphlets and books cannot be returned at the request of the writer without prepay ment of postage at the rate ot one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. Let ters once taken from the post office b' the proper parties cannot be forwarded without being prepaid. This applies also to return ing request letters once taken out ol a post office. . Letters addressed to a person not found at the office addressed may be for warded without additional charge." A White Woman Violated by Three Colored Men. Brookhaven, Miss., Aug. 17. Yesterday morning, at two o'clock, three negres entered the residence of Mrs. M. L. Burney, and, choking her and her daughter, violated the person of Mrs. Burn ly after which they forced her to give up what money she had and then plundered the house, taking away a large trunk filled with clothing, jewelry, fcc. One of the negroes has been captured, but the others are still at large. Great excitement pre vails concerning the outrage. SALE OF LAND.

An English Abduction Case. A correspondent of the Boston Journal contributes the following account of a Jud napping case i;i England nearly forty years ago, which in some of its aspects resembles very much the pase of the Bos child in Philadelphia: "About tldrty.-eight years ago a wmilar ca?e to that of the lloz boy h kidnapping at Philadelphia occurred w England. A beaulitul child was stolen, and the robbers notified the father that his child could be ransomed for the aum of five thousand pound. The father replied through the directed channel that he was a poor man and could not raise five hun dred pounds. Thereupon the robbers re plied that they knew h was a poor man, but they also "knew that he had rich rela tives and friends from whom he could bor row the amount, and if he did not send it by a certain day the child would be killed for self-protection. In the meantime the whole affair got into the papers and all England was aroused at the audacity of the scoundrels, Large rewards were offered, ministers preached from the pulpits about it. Great sympathy was fell for the par ents, the money was raised, the child was recovered, but all his beautiful curls had been cut close off. The police and detec tives were totally unable to make any d;s coveries as to who were the criminals. Many arrests were made,' but with no re sult. It is a well known fact that the Hank of England never reissues any of its notes, if they have only been out even a few minutes. One of the gentlemen who con tributed to the fund for the ransom of the child, knowing the above fact, went to the Bank of England and got its officers to mark ami register the bills he was going to rive the father to obtain the release ot his child, and requested the bank officer to notify him when the bills should be return ed to the bank. 11 did this in the hope of getting some trace of the scoundrels who had frightened the whole community. Sev eral months elapsed, when one day he was notified that the bills hail been returned to the bank. Upon inqury he found that they had come from a bank iu the north ol England. Thereupon he posted north and found that the bills had been deposited by a person who had opened an account with them. The gentleman and the bank clerk returned to Loudon, when, upon arrival at his house, a detective was sent for, and at the same time the father of the stolen child was requested to meet them in order to info m him of their discovery. Immediately upon his coming into the room the bank clerk said : YVhy t his is the gen tleman who deposited the bills with us." And so it proved. In order to raise money he had abducted his own child. It was noticed that he had lived better since the restoration of the child, but nothing was thought of that, as it was supposed that sympathizing friends supplied the means, lie was arrested foi conspiracy to defraud, tried, convicttd and sentenced to penal ser vitude. So ended the great child kidnaj ping ease, and people who had little ones slept easier." 1 I I m A furious riot, took place in George town, S. C, a few days ago, between two fractions ol negroes, headed by the negro Senator and the negro Representative, who are at logger-heads about some matter of "reform." The negroes fought each other all over the town, and the followers of each of tte leaders rocked the house of the oilier and hurt the inmates. During the liirlit one or two negroes were killed and several badly hurt. 'The Sheriff succeeded finally in jailing the ring leaders. To the Generous Public.
