world in 1881,lor on an average of six a
Hday.j The value of thie property lost is
estimated at one thousand font hundred
I -million dollars I This was an increase of
j three hundred and fifty -nine vessels over
1880 and of abdut five hundred million

Sheep-Killing: Dogs.
r TjLte following is one of the provisions
of Nibrth Carolina law in relation to dogs :
S$p. 2, as amended by the act of 1879:
Any person owning or having any dog or
dogs that' kill (sheep, upon satisfactory
evidence of the same being made before
any justice' of the peace of the county,
an the ownei. duly; notified thereof, if
thei owner of said dog or dogs refuses to
kill it or thenaj or have the same don af
ter such evidence has been; made, and
shall permit such dog or dogs, to go at
liberty, he shall be guilty of a misde
meanor and upon conviction thereof shall
be fined not more thaafifty dollars or
.fmiisoned pot more than one month,
and the said dog or dogs may be killed
by any one if found going at large.
; t is cveryj good, proceeding on the

exact point ; of difficulty. ;sheep killing
dogs are very sly and usually come down
onj the fold at night, when least expected,
and are off and gone before the farmer is

And even when the sheep owner liappens
tojsee the dog er dogs, it is generally un

3 1-2 Per Cent Bond?.
Senator Hill's exposure! of the
Z per
ecu i bonds, of jnr hich therejiaa been fre
quent mention of late in Congresf, is one
of the roost, remarkable -cases of party
rascality on record. . Last Congress pass

passage
of the

ahd the
was resisted by the creditors
government, and especially by
lional banks : but still it passed
bill was sent? td President j Hay e
s for his
signature. JMr Hill mentions as an un
heard of act, the veto by the President of
a bill of that nature ; but he vetoed it,
and Congress adjourned and the business
was left in thai state. After the adjourn
ment of Congress, creditors of the govern
ment; holding 5 and 6 per cenjt. bonds,
foreseeing that' the next Congress would
pass a 3 percept, funding; act, presented
themselvesat the treasury with their bonds
and entered into an arrangement with the
Treasurer, to relinquish the face value of
interest, reducing it to 3f perjeent., on
the condititon that the government would
not pay off the bonds but allow the cred
itors to hold them. .And j hence the 3i
per cent. there are no such bonds in ex-
ks encrbachraenf bf the elective on the
legislative department of the government
and in direct violation of the constitution.
It is a proceeding entirely without law,
and should not be tolerated for a, moment;
for if the Treasurer may" trade on the
bonds of the government without law in
in one case he may do so in a thousand
His only rule Is the law of Congress, and
his act in this; case is without j law and
therefore null and void. It may be fur
ther remarked as a singular fact, that al
though t the distcussion of: a 3 per cent.
bill before Congress has evicted numerous1
speeches from; members, not one of them
has adverted to the strange history of the

Hill.
Death X)f Col. Lewis Haues.
Col. Lewis Hanes, a distinguished citi
zen of North Carolina, died at ! his home
near Cleniorisville, in Davidson county,
on the 19th instaut, m the 50th year o
his age. For a year or more the deceased
had been nv gradually failing - heath,
when, about the first of the present month
be suffered a stroke of paralysis which
came near ending bis life suddenly, This
with heart disease, terminated fatally ou
the 19th. .
Col. Hanes was a well-known citizen of
North Carolina, having been in public
life for many year8; His literary acquire
meuts of early life, and extensive infor
mation on the politics of the country, fitted
him for the active part which for years
he has taken in State affairs. u I860 he
engaged actively in politics and was elect
ed irom uis county to tue lower nouse o
the State legislature. In 1863-'4 appear
ed the famous "Davidson Letters," which
at once placed him in the front rank o
political writers of the day. In 1864 he
was again elected to the legislature, while
in 1865 he'served as private secretary to
vov. noiaen; in tue iau ot tnat year
Col. Hanes vras elected; to the! United
States Congress from his district, but fail
ed t secure a removal of his disabilities,
which debarred him admisiion. In 1866
he established at Salisbury the "Old
North State," a newjspaperl which took
rank among the ablest in the State. Du
ring his editorial career at Salisbury the
call for the Constitutional Convention of
1870 was made by the Legislature, and
Col. Hanes took grounds against the con
stitutionality of the measure, and. through
his paper, perhaps, did as much as any
other one, man towards defeating at the
polls, the adoption of the proposition. Up
to this time CoL Hanes! though, an bid
line Whig, had affiliated ;witl the Demo
cratic party of the State, but after his
opposition to the convention he lost bis
standing in the party, and was soon af
terwards engaged as! political editor on
the Raleigh 'Era,w the organ of the .Re
publican patty, where lie, together with
the late Marcus Erwin,i conducted the
paper in an able and dignified manner.
His editorial work on the Era was of short
duration, as a disruption occurred between
him and the 'owners (of the paper which
resulted in his withdrawal after a service
of some six months.
Tho writer hasoc-
casion toknow that the . difficulty grew
out of a refusal on the part of Cob Hanes
to defend a notorious Radical Judge who
was at that time presiding, and who had
been the object of bitter attack by the
Democratic ; press of the State. After
leaving Raleigh he
engage inieditorial
work on" different papers in the State,
and again in 1880 he was a candidate be
fore the' people of liis county and was
elected a member of-theL present State
Senateand at the time of his! death was

quiry in full in reference the allegec
abuses in the sixth collection district o;
this State, introduced in! the House o
Representatives, Tuesday ! last, by Hou.
R. F. Arinfield : "j.
W hereas it appears from the report of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
for the year ending June 30, 1881, that
there arenore liceusetV distilleries iu the
six collection district of North Carolina
than in any other Collection district in
the United States, and that it costs the
Government to collect the internal rev
enuesin said dictrict the sum of $265,324,
and for per diem of shorekeepers and
gangers tho sum of ; $211,437, while the
total revenue collected in said district
amounts to only $449,455 ; while in the
fifth collection district of North Carolina
which adjoins the satd? sixth district, it
costs only the sum of $ 106,502 to collect
$1,015,229, and in the fifth collection dis
trict of Illinois it costs only $23,470 to
collect $11,495,131 ; and j N j
Whereas it further appears from said
report that the per diem of storekeepers
and gangers in said sixth collection district
of North Carolina, to wit, the said sum
of $211,437 is almost twice as much as is
paid for the same class of officers in any
other collection district of the United
States, and is three or four times as much
as the average paid for that class of offi
cers in all the . districts of the United
States, and the total cpst of collecting in
ternal : revenue in said sixth district of
North Carolina is more than three times
the average cost paid fori the same pur
pose in all the collection districts of the
United States; andr i
Whereas it is openly charged by the
newspaper press of the country, and is
generally believed by) the people of said
sixth collection district of ! North Caroli
na, and -widely over the country, that
the extraordinary cost of collecting in-.
ternal revenues of said sixth collection
district of North Carolina is caused bv
frauds against the. Government, perpe
trated, among other -means, by the mul
tiplication of small distilleries, with the
knowledge and encouragement of the in
ternal revenue officers of j said sixth dis
trict of Nortli Carolina, many persons
having three or four small distilleries on
the same faun, with the same -ownership,
with their kindred j. or dependants j in
charge as storekeepers and gangers, from
whom, with the full knowledge and cou-
sent of the said revenue; officers, they
oxact a large part of their daily waires
paid by the Government, some of them
boasting that theyxact enough in this
way to pay for the. grain they use in
distillation ; and t I l
Whereas - many other flagrant frauds
and abuses are commonly charged j and
believed to exist in said j
North Carolina, 'and to

be practiced
against the revenue; laws of

ment in .its revenues, and to the scandal

Therefore,

ap-
pointed by the Speaker to inquire and
report to jj the House concering the said
alleged, abuses practiced by he officers

in the said sixth collection j district! of
North Carolina, and concerning all other
abuses practiced in said sixth collection
district by internal revenue officers, or
others, which abuses relate in any way to

Mr. Houk,Republican,objected to the con
sideration of the resolution, characterizing
it as a political stump speech, but it was
finally referred to the committee on ways
and means, Mr.' Honk, however, insisting
on accompanying it on the record with
the following epistle from Mr. James E.
Boyd, 3 United. States District Attorney
for the Western District of North Caro
lina: 1 1
Greeksboro, North Carolina,
January 10,' 1882.
Dear Sir: The statements which has
been made in some of - the newspapers of
the State in relation to the expeuses at
tending the collection of intertal revenue
taxes in your district docs you great in
justice, because the whole facts are not
given. One who is well acquainted with
tbe , circumstances can very readily see
how the government loses nothing by the
apparent increase in the expenses of col
lecting in your district. -
A few years ago Western Nortli Caro
lina (which is included in tue sixth dis
tnct) was noted throughout the country
fot the almost innumerabble violations
of the internal revenue'laws committed
within its limits. Hordes of the citizens
of the mountains and other! portions of
the district were breught as defendants
and witnesses iu criminal prosecutions to
the terms of the United States courts at
Statesvillo and Asheville, and the ex
penses iucurred by the Government in
the prosecutions of these people were
simply enormous. The only way which
suggested itself to make a change in this
state of affairs was to put it within the
power of the poorer classes to operate
distilleries tinder the law. This plan was
adepted, and the capacity required' of
distilleries was so reduced that men of
small means could manufacture legally.
This has had the effect to put an end
in a great degree to illicit distilling in
your district, and consequently to reduce
very much the expenses of the courts in
curred in the prosecutions of violators of
the law. I have not made a careful esti
mate, but I am satisfied that the expen
ses of the Federal courts at Asheville and
Statesville are reduced within the last
two or three years more tljau one-half.
Then, on the other hand, the increase in
your expenses is the pay of ftorekeepers
and gangers, who became necessary when
the niMuber f legal distilleries was in
creased. When the capacity was reduced
a great number of thone who had been
operating "blockade distillers" became
distillers under the law, and, this, of
coursis required a great increase in the
number of storekeepers and gaugers.
Many of these distilleries are operated on V
a very small scale, but all of them pay
expenses, and the Government loses
notaiug.
Thex product of these, distilleries has
increased the collections, but the expenses
of officers to attend them has increased
the expenses. I have thought it but fair
to you to send you this statement, for in
my position as United States attorney
for the western district I have had an
opportunity to know the facts, and what
I write is true. j
The statements which have been made
are calculated to mislead those who are
not fully informed as to all jthe facts.
Very truly yours,
Jxs. E. Botd.

designating the parts of the debt of that

of the bill is

There is another delegation of North
Carolina soreheads, styling themselves as
Independents, &t Washington, begging
crumbs from President Arthur' kitchen
cabinet. The delegation is 'headed by
Col. William Johnston, of Charlotte, and
Charles Price, of Salisbury. Like flies
they are after the same molasses so pro
fusely dealt out to little Mahone, of Vir
gima.
Col. Johnston wants to go to Congress
and would like for Mr. Arthur to help
him. He will be more effectually buried
than Zeb. Vance buried him in the gub
ernational campaign of 1862, and at lor
Pricewell, the poor fellow feels badlyj
perhaps, because his abilities are no long

section.-'

They are both gentlemen of

Mr. Chas. Pricet the senior member of
this firm, is a confirmed invalid, having
been a sufferer from a chronic case of
big-head since his accidental election to
the speakership in 1876, and his ca
pacity for usefulness has beec so greatly
diminished by this sad infirmity that we
now fear it will effectually prevent his
affording any material assistance to his
partner in the accomplishment of the
purpose for which they are associated.
Col. William Johnston, tie next mem
ber of this sweetly-sceuted partnership,
is chiefly remarkable for ti e utiring per
sistency with which he continues to run
for office, aud the unfailing uniformity
with which he is defeated.
The Federal Administration is said to
be the silent member, and to stand ready
v
to exert all its power in corrupting and
coercing voters, and porvcrting andv dis
torting public sentiment, to aid them in
carrying out their nefarious purpose.
And what is that purpose T No other
than to organize and lead a movement in
Nortli Carolina similar to that which Ma
hone has jnst brought to a successful is
sue in Virginia; to disrupt the Democra
tic party and under the guisa of Liberals
to hand the State over to the Radicals.

speech in the Senate the other day op
posing a commission for the purpose of ex
amining into the tariff question, the mem
bers of which are to be in all probability,
select friends of a high tariff. The Seua-
tor showed that the United States had lost
all its merchant mariue, that it bad no
foreign markets for manufactures and
that the revenues from the tariff went
actually into the pockets of monopolists.
We drive off foreign competition and bol
ster up a home market for a comparative
ly few American manufactures. Content
ed with a domestic monopoly they make
no effort to secure a foreign, trade. Let
America compete with the world, allow
the purchasers and consumers of the
United States to buy from the cheapest
source even if that proves to be England,
and it will be .seen who will come out the
winner. Under the present system the
moneyed corporations of New England
stop their mills when they have filled the
home markets, and that they can afford
to do so, preves that they are reaping the
benefits of monopoly in exorbitant prices
But if the buyers and consumers ot this
country were put upon an equal footing
with those of other countries, and if the
European markets could supply them
with what they want at cheaper rates
than, they now give, such a stir and hub
bub would be raised in our factories that
they would not only undersell the for
eigners here but would carry the war in
tS Africa," and sell in foreign markets,
This question of Free Trade is fast shap
ing itself into the coaling issue and is so
much related to the demands of the anti-
monopolists that all of their influence
