We want the influence of the ladies, but want it exerted in the right way, tlhat is, a wornanly way. - i m 1 When the Democratic members of the commit tee on Ways and Means on Wednesday offered their bill! to abolish the tax on tobacco and modify the internal revenue system the Republican members got into "a state of mind" and opposed violently th laotion to incorporate this meas ure into the tariff bill. Their opbciT Bit jot t to this internal revenue lqgis- lattQ-i is noteworthy. 1 'i-T - ;i lull. New York is reported by the Tffbr'd as blushing over the produc tiop of a French play on the boards of ib' O of its theatres. It must i be baa ; indeed not that New Yorkers ar eery much more wicked than ot&e- people, but they have grown; to tofot te on the Btage much that would pronounced intolerable by cqm- mnaities less accustomed to every (va riety of stage production. A play thtrmay do very well in French will not do at all in ingnsn. severe iei pttrgatioa is necessary in almost evrj thing that is reproduced j in AijfieKca from the Paris stage, and, in th c.ise of the play first referred, to tnore seems to nave been no expnr gaion whatever. IsViiza lately discussing the prevail ing low prices, we attributed tnem in some measure to the low rates i of freight and to labor-Bavin g inventions A pttiking illustration of the truth of wtat we said is found in a letter frpm Edward Atkinson printed in the last issue of BradttrttC: Mr. Atkinson, - in Ian address delivered in England, had said in substance that th North- westrn farmers who live 1,500 miles from the seaboard can now tell wheat lHLKngiana at l.uu a bushel and majw as much profit as tbej did when Jpej sold it at 91.50, fifteen years ago. Tins broueht out so much comment th4t he has replied to bis critics and 7 ha proved that these Western wheat growers can make as much profit now selling wheat in England at about 75 , ceiis a bushel as they did fifteen ?e&s ago when they sold at $160. 'ho saving is in freight rates . and in labor-saving machinery. In 187 the self-binder was success fully attached to the reaper, and each sell-binding reaper has displaced the work of seven to eight men who for merly followed each reaper to bind the! sheaves by hand. The cost jof binding by hand was from 5 to C ceiits a bushel; now it does not ex ceed 1 J cents. By improved planters, ploughs and other instruments an ' o&fer saving of two cents a bushel is ma(de. In 1872 the grindstones of a floor mill turned out 350 barrels' a day now, with the new roller system, the, name mill, with fewer hands, tarns out 1,200 barrels a day. Formerly Ihe flour for export was pu6 v p in barrels costing fifty cents eah ; now sacks are used, costing thift en cents. Every effort is made ' to isa e cost and charges. The cost of jiia idling at Chicago, Buffalo and Ne4T fork is now three cents a bushel leal t han in 1872 The cost of trans porting a bushel of wheat across the ooeafi is now eight cents less than in 187,2: and the freight on wheat from Chotgoto New York is twenty-six oenjtc less than it then was. All these 'Imlci.'les" make a big "muckle." It s these things that combine to , lowi the Belling price of all lines of produce and merchandise. itOIOKTO JOHH HKROEIUU1, 11 honor to Mr. Henderson for his valtta'jle work in Congress in regard to (hV internal revenue system. For yeaM efforts have been made to have tbeMors of what has been termed the3tfernal Revenue system abated and- feUe law 60 modified in its provis ions that its execution would not nec essarily be attended with irritation and! abominable exactions Bat year aftejr year passed, and hope deferred made .the heart sick. It was reserved forIi'. Henderson, the able and pa trioic member from tie Salisbury distant, to so conduct matters that practically this obfect appears now attainable. Certainly we would bo glad to see the entire system wiped out; but thai is not to be expected. Tm people of the Union at larye will not consent to ubolish the tux on hjeky, and that we may as well understand. I i, impracticable. This Mr, Hen derson has realized. Butbecajiseh can8QJthave'hi8 way as to that he baa not! spiked in his tent," but like a ' wisj nian, a prudent statesman, a pa triot, he has cought to wipe out all of the fabprtiiiiiibte featurej of the tj ; tern! an i to make t he enf orctmfnt of the fuw more b. arable. He studied and comprehended the tntri aiaa of the sysiem, saw where it could be re modeled to advantage, and set him- eu to $oootnplishing the task. Before tne Democratic administra tion came in, as long as the Republi cans had control of the Department, every effort at modification, every ef fort to i relieve the people from the annoyances and harrassing features of the system was met bv the ; opinion of the Department thnfc th proposed changes were im practicable; that they would not work: that no changes could be made. It was a Republican measure, devised, adopted and perpetuated by the Re publicah leaders. Therefore the Re publican administrations regarded it us periect, ana no suggestion to change it met with favor. But Mr. Henderson has found tne Democratic administration of Presi dent Cleveland quite a different thirg from the Republican aaui-n.airations in this regard. His suggestions for modifications have not been repulsed. Aid and countenance have been given hitti in his good work, and he baa worked! assiduously, industriously .tut! wisely, xue result is apparent. Firsti the committee has agreed that the tax shall be takf n off tobacco; necohd, that all restrictions on the -ale and handling of tobacco shall be entirely; abolished. That would be ocd enough in itself. But that is not all. i A to fruit-brandy, while the tax on that is retained, the Commissioner of Interna revenue is authorized to ex empt the manufacture from the ope rations of the General law; and as to ill distulenea of whisky with a ca jaeity of loss than 25 gallons, there S to be a "capacity tax," and the storekeepers and gauger3 are to have no farther business witn them. Arid again, as to the law itseif, the court is: now, on conviction for anv offence i against the law, to impose auch punishment, (not exceeding a certain limit) as the judge shall deem just. Heretofore the ludtjo had no discretion in trivial cases. And sun again no warrants are hereafter to be issued except on affi davits sotting forth the specific charges,! unless at ihe instance of the Collector or Deputy Collector. These; are Borne of the most impor tanl changes that Mr. Henderson has had incorporated in the bill agreed to by the committee on ways and means, and while the bill may be defeated we do not think it will. We believe it will go through. And so it has been th good fortune of Mr. Henderson, by his indomitable perseverence, by his wise ibut firm policy, by his intel ligent action, to bring about these changes that will be" do beneficial to our people and that will afford bo much relief. All honor, say we, to John S. Henderson. i i i '. THE LAND OF TUB SKY Ab ITS ALWAYS PROGRESSIVE CAPITAL tor. of the Jew and Observer. ; Ashetille, N. C, March 5. V The Superior Court of Buncombe met Monday, Judge McRae presiding. The criminal docket is r-ncumbered with Several homicide cases, the most notable of which is that of Myra Con riollji a colored woman, charged with the murder of Mr. Sumner, an old and respected citizen and one of the most ijaoffehsife, peaceably-disposed men in alii this community. The woman was wild; with liquor and etapped her unsuspecting victim with a knife in the right lung, causing death after a lingering illness. She is a monstrous creature, weighing over two hundred pounds, and black an night; The case excites considerable interest and i a pro-racted trial is probable. j I The court-house is to be lighted with gas, The opera hall in ihe third story of the building is already lit With it. " i Manganese of a superior kind has been found on a farm five miles west Of this city. ; The Pease excitement has died out, and the Knoxville Tribune stands in an ugly ljight before the country as having recklessly slandered a minis ter of the Gospel who enjoys the con fidence and respect of a very large circifl oi mends and acquaintances I The board of trade are undertaking a systematic advertisement of ABhe vine s; advantages as a health resort and trade and manufacturing center. Pamphlets are being prepared for pub lication and widespread distribution. Ashevillei is wide awake to her inter est. .Dreamers, sleepers, sluggards arid croakers feel lonesome in this brisk i and progressive community. The Southern Traffic Association have agreed on a special excursion rate Of three cents a mile the round trip on all their lines the excursions to be run on Iatcb 13th and 27th, and April 10th and 24th; good or 30 days This arrangement, it is believed, will induce immigration to att ractive south eirn sections. . Professor Tiernan has returned from his wedding tour through Mexi co, Central America, and the West Indies. Mrs. Tiernan (nee Miss Fran ces Fisher, or "Chistian Reid"), will come to this city in a short time and become a permanent resident here.

Cor. of the News and ubeerrer. WiSstok, C , March 6, 1888. A meeting was called last night for the purpose of completing the organi zation of a savings bank. The meet ing was a full one, all classes being represented from both towns. I giv the result: Mr. E- A. Ebert, of Salem, and a first class citizen, was mae president of the bant, and Messrs. J. W. Rogers, B S. Shephard and Dr. H. T. Bahnson were elected vice-presidents The following gentlemen compose the board of trustees: Messrs. J. W. Hanee, Geo. W. Hinshaw, R. J. Rey nolds, C. A. Hege, Dr. Thompson. Dr. Watkins, C. A. Fogler, H. E. Fries, S, E Allen, C. Hamlin and R D. Brown. Messrs. R. B. Kerner, A. H. Elder, J. S. Starbuck and Col. A. B. Gorrell were elected bank examiners, and Mr. Verco W. Lon, editor of the Senti nel, was. elected clerk. The meeting adjourned to meet May 5th, when all arrangements for starting the bank will bo made. The officers elect were sworn in last night. So the bank is no longer one of the things talked about, but a thing of certainty. About midnight last night the fire bells rang out the alarm of fire. The store houe of Mr. Henry Watkins was on fire on the inside, but the flames we; e easily extinguished. The stori ia a new one scarcely completed, and there wus every evidenc9 to prove that it was set on firo. Several of the drawers wero pulled out, and, together with a lot of kindling, were heaped on the floor and 6et on lire. By prompt response to the alarm a terrible fire was prevented. On account of removals, a few fail ures, selling out at cost, etc., there has been some depression in trade here, but our people are recovering rapidly from these troubles, and there is a general stirring about, and ex tensive preparations are being made for a big spring and summer trade. There was no sale yesterday in Brown's warehouse, on account of the death of the father of Mr. W. B Car ter, one of the firm, which occurred in Rockingham county on last Sun day. Mr. J. A. Foy, editor of the Twin City Daily, has recenJy completed his first year in the daily journalistic field. Mr. Foy has by hard work made Lis paper a valuable factor in progressive Winston. I hope he will soon see it to his advaatage to en large his paper. Gew. Diceit of Supreme Conrt DecUloiM. By the News and Observer. Brickhouse vs. Sutton. Plaintiff claimed as purchaser the dower right of Elizabeth Sutton iu certain lands which had been set off to her a? dower by the Superior Court ofTyrrel, in 1869, in a pro ceeding to which her hus band s heirs, the defendants, were parlies of record. Defendants claim ed that Elizabeth Sutton had no right of dower in the land and that the as signment of dower to her was void because; firBt, the Superior Court had no jurisdiction ; secondly, becauso the process was returned "executed bv I. W. Woodhouse, deputy sheriff," and not by the sheriff: and that the report of the commissioners was attest ed by a deputy sheriff and not by the sheriff. Plaintiff admits that Elizabeth Sutton had no right of dower,but that the defendants are estopped by the judgment of the court from deny ing it. Held, That the Superior Court had jurisdiction of dower in 1869. Held, That as the judgment of the court recites tha' ".he defendants have been served with process," the same must be taken as true in any collateral proceeding. It was irreg ular for the return to be made by the deputy sheriff, although the Bervice was lawfully' made by him; but whether that return was sufficient or not, the court having found as a fact .that the defendant had been served with process, the judgment and pro ceedings cannot be treated as void, and must stand until set aside by a direct proceeding to' that end. Held, That the statute does not re quire the sheriff to attest the writ of dower or the report of the jury as signing the same. New by vs. Harrell. Although the general rule is tha' before one partner can sue another at law, the settlement of the firm must be complete or, as otherwise stated, a partner Cannot maintain an action against a co-partner to recover money, which might be placed as an item in the partnership account, yet there are exceptions, and among the exceptions is the right of a partner to maintain an action againB' another for the de struction of the joint property or its wrongful conversi n. 3 Dev., 398. Held, That an action may also be maintained, where the property de stroyed is the individual property of a partner and in the business of the partnership. ' Couldn't Uet Along 'Without It."
