D. 1868 f l What conclusions iwill they draw, should f our juuiciary sustam ucn acts as awj,and, therefore, ajs binding on the people ? Since the latje war, there has been an in cessant tendency o the part of 'our legisla tive and judicial depnrt men t3, under Dem - - -I ocratic as well as Republican rule, to trans gress constitutional limits, "impair, in due way or another, the obligation of contracts, anil thwart, the ends ot justice. This course, dangerous as it is t;o our liberties, has now been foisted on thej people nine vcars. Ev ery step in this direction is but another step! toward anarchy ami ruin. Communism. with all itsi horrible details, lies in this di rection : communism, not onlv in regard to the enjoyment pf personal aud real proper ty; but horrible to1 coutem plate! commu nism in regard to the enjoyment of those dearest and most sacred of all earthlvrigllts, the right of matrimony. One step in viola tion of constitutional airerogative paves" the way to another; and one act of perjury, on the part ot a high Jomcial," being connived at, and the offender going unpunished, others t:ike down 'similar doses without much disgust. P - .' ' - Article tenth of qur State constitution 'is nothing mre nor less than a gigantic stride in the direction ojf communism. It says substantially v that superior industry, econ omy, and honesty, shall have no special re ward ; tbatj property t(the value of $1,500 shall be held and enjoyed by any defaulting debtor, inlcpendent of all hi private obli gations ; and that: even widows and or phans of deceased creditors shall have no power to .collect, through any ? representa tive whatever, any debt out of such estate, even though they perish, of hunger. Are wC not soajing high in governmental excel lency ( I y . r- . - . Tlic great riots which occurred in some of the Northern State?, Some two years ago, on the pari; of he einploveeson certain rail roads, and were popularly denominated railroad strikes!, constitute another grand stride in the direction of communism. The strikers, mi doubt, thought that they Could accumulate; property much easier by com pelling tho wealthy stockholders in the railroads t) divide with them, than they could by gaming and paying for it. Iwfore getting it. I The various instances of grand and petit larcem', as proven in our courts, constitute Other stride in the same direc tion. Thejstrikcrs take and hold property by force and arnis ; the thieves take stealth ily, and hold by the clench of the list. In Nortli Carolina! people arc at lilterty to ac quire property in almost any manner, ex cept actual ant hrna- Jlils stealing, and can bold it, to the jvalue of $1,500 forever, by virtue of unlawful laws unlawfully admin istered.' I : There is a grmd, intelligent, influential, and highly respectablethough smoldering, element in North Carolina that will, at no distant daj, cause itself to be heard and felt. It has borne, without much murmur ing, as yet,! all the iburthens diabolically imposed oii it for the last ten years; but the time is: now come when, it is believed, it will begin to assert its rights, and cause perjured official-, wherever found, to squirm and writhb under the galling penalties which thei conduct merits.

Associated with the evil hygienic conditions of the city the haijbor is, if possible, in even fouler con- ditUn. , This harbor, abont one mile 1nn. iwni tiiiids of a mile wide, and some thirty feet deep in tlio deepest places, has a dif ference between its minimum low ajid its maximum high tide of less than two feet ; and into this almost stagnant pond is daily poured the sewage of the city, the oll'al of the slaughter houses, and the ref it sej from at least two largo hospitals halntually infected with yellow fever and located on the very edge of the harbor. The fuacal odor from this harbor is often perceptible.' T ,"J Aiuong other things doue, at the sug- gestioii of Dr. DanieK M. Burgess, of Havana, to whom I oweminch, I have in sptjeted tho ballast sold to and trans ported by ships from this port. Repeat edly has tho ballast from this port been accused of causing outbreaks of yellow tever in ports of the United States, and as repeatedly has this been discredited, I have uo habitation in asserting, as the result ot i ersonal examination, that if there be anything whatever which cau servo as foniites to trausport yellow fever poison, the ballast from this port appears to be emiueutly fitted for this purpose. In my opuuou, the National Board of Health should at once adopt such meas ures as may be needtui to protect our ports against the dangerous risks they are subjected to by all ballast from this pott. A 1,500 House Power Hoister. The new hoisting machinery for the Yellow Jacket shaft, now being constructed in San Francisco, will be surpassed by nothing of the kind on the Conistock. It will be a double cylinder, direct acting hoist. Each engine will have a stroke of eight feet, cylinders 23 inches in diame ter, and will be of a,, non-condensing char-actor. JThey are to work at a steam pressure of 150 lb to the square inch, and at 50 revolutions per minute will have a piston speed of 800 feet. While hoisting f rom a depth of 4,000 feet each will exert J ,500 horse po we r. A flat steel rope, 7 inches wide, 1 inch thick, and 4,000 feet long, will be used in hoisting. The Union shaft is now supplied with -hoist ing works, and will soon be furnished with pumping machinery superior to any now iu uso on the Comstock. 1 he new pumping engine will be of the compound condensing style, tho initial cylinder being 64 inches iu diameter, with a stroke oft 7 feet. The expansion cylinder is 100 inches in diameter and 8 feet stroke It will have 8 strokes a minute and 136 feet of piston speed in the same time and will exert about 1,500 horse power. It will operate a double line of 14 inch pumps, hnvinjr a stroke of 10 feet. Virginia Enterprise. Coli.aise of the Lesseps Uanal SoHEMK.iM. de Lesseps' scheme for-a Panama canal a niveau has patrically been abandoned "suspended" is the couveni ent word used. This is not su prising un der the. circumstances, but Ktill the busi ness world's epitaph upon theriinpractica ble project will probably be: ."If so quick ly you ate doue for, the wonder is what you were beguu tor." 1 he t rencii engi neers who carried the vote in favor of the Wi se concession have been iudustrioufcly employed in writing up the project for the Paris newspaiiers, and even so solid a journal as theXMrtf has giving columns ot its space to specious arguuieum iu a orofthe "onlv natural route" between the two oceans. Iu one of these articles the writer. M. Paul Boiteau. assured his readers that the Panama canal would di minish bv eiirhtv francs a ton the cost of transporting goods by sea; that General Hurnside was the onlv man in the United States who thought the building of the catial an iufringineut .of the Monroe doc trine, that the real opposition to the work in thisj country proceeded from the Pana ma and the trans-continental railroads. In spite of all this the Panama canal was a hopeless job from the outset. The speedy abandonment of the scheme shows that it lids been found out. by thosei alone who could supply the means necessary to pro mote it, to be not a scientific plau for the construction of a public w ork of interna tional proportions, but a project "put up" iu the iuterest of speculators and stock jobbers. Tho fact that the objections of Admiral Animem and Mr. Menoeal were brushed aside without any attempt to an swer them was iu itself fatal to auy plan soliciting bona fide subscriptions from substantial - capitalists. M. de, Lesseps mav stiirearry out his proposition-to visit the country, but he should nuderstand before lie conies.that the man who feeks to convince others must in the first place prove that he himself is open to convic tion.

To - Attain Long Life. He who strives after a long and pleasant term of life must seek to attain continual" equa tiimity, and carefully avoid everything Which' too violently taxes his feelings. Nothing more quickly consumes the vig- or oi me man tue violence ot the emo- tioils of the mind. We know that anxi Jety and care can destroy the healthiest body j we know that fright and fear, yes, excess of joy, become deadly. They who are naturally cool and of a quiet turn of mind, upon whom nothing can make too powerful an impression, who are not Wont to be excited either by great sor row or great joy, have the best chance of living long and happy after their manner, preserve, therefore, under all circum stances, counsels The Sanitarian, a com posure of mind which no happiness, no misfortune, can too much disturb.
