A force of tueu are at work on the Bun

ing the vein at the rich point where so
much large gold has been found below
the outcrop of veins.
The Morris Mountain mine is working

Institute Fair Biiildingr.
Boston, Oct. 12, 183.
Messrs. Hussey of the Patriot, and Jo
sepu Caldwell of the Landmark, (two of
Carolina's best papers) have been on here
to see for themselves what North Caroli
na has doue. They came two days in ad
vance of the State Press Association, and
independent of that body. They spent
much time in the exhibit and their words
of unhesitating commendation were a
son ice of much gratify eat inn to all who
have been engaged iu the work both here
and at home.
On Thursday evening of last week,
some 25 persoms constituting the Press
Association of North Carolina arrived
Among them were President London,
Secretary Stone, Mr. Ashe and Mr. Hah
The visit of the Aassociation was of the
most pleasant character they were the
recipients of many courtesies' from the
city authorities and from the Boston press.
On Friday after their arrival they were
takeu to Deer Island, one of the reforuta
tories of the city. It is beautifully tocat
ed iu Boston Harbor, some live miles
distant from the city. The steamer which
carried, these guests also conveyed a lot
of prisoners, and one of the most inter
esting features of the trip was the
hearing of thier examination by the sup
eriutendettr. Out of the whole lot, some
fifty, but one professed that it was the
first visit to the place, and but two came
back bearinj! the same name. It seems
that when they doff their prison clothes,
the also leave their names, taking such
names as suits their convenience. After
this interesting spectacle, was ended the
party was shown over the institution. It
is very complete in all its deari nieuts.
They have splendid schools for boys and
girls. This State, as you know, has a
compulsory educational law. All the
truants from the public schools, and all
children whose parents do not make them
attend the public schools, are brought
here, and forced to take a primary edu
cation. Everything iu this school tends
to elevates the child to a higher plane
they have sacred ai.d secular music and a
brass baud of their own, taught by train
ed teachers, and, also, all the innocent
amusements. The last place visited was
the nursery. This is filled with "infants
of all ages children left on the charity
of the world, either by the indigent pa
rents or as orphans. The institution is a
monument to a christian community, and
is conducted in the most humane manner.
Before leaving the Island the party were
tendered a reception banquet of the most
pleasant character.
The ride back to the city was probably
the most delightful one ever enjoyed by
many of the party. The evening sun
was just sinking to rest behind the great
city. Columns of smoke curled above
towering domes tinged with golden light.
A little later, church spires, index fingers
pointing heavenward, cut the disk of the
lingering suu, and reflected its fading
light. Ecstatic vision, savoring of en
chantment as the halo died amid the mists
. of deepening shade. AH on board were
"hushed in admiration, and seemed in full
communion with nature. The scene must
it ; for the glory of that dying day filled
every heart. Following those spires as
they pointed silently toward the peering
stars, the heart was led on, and on, to
'
, the Great Creator. God. I he striking of ,
the bell and the busy si-cue on the waif
brought back the world. Looking each
other in the eye, we saw and felt that we
were better for having enjoyed that sight.
On Saturday the editors of the Commer
cial Bulletin gave the Association an ele
gant banquet at the Parker Honse. The
occasion was honored with the usual
toasts and short speeches.
On Sunday, carriages were provided,
and the party went for a drive over the
city. The Highlands, Brook line, Har
vard College, the town of Cambridge and
Bunker's Hill were visited. Ou Monday,
an excursion was arranged to Lynn, Law
rance and Lowell, three of the great man
ufacturing towns of Massachusetts.
Ou Tuesday they took in the foreign
exposition, and Thursday night they were
tendered an extravagaut banquet by the
City Press Club. This banquet was the
culminating event of their visit, and there
will be no attempt made here to describe
it. This is a mere outliue of courtesies
exteuded to the party while here. They
will certainly fill their journals with what
they saw, so that your correspondent
need not indulge in a twice told tale, -It
may be well to mention that they all left
Boston iu fair health.
The attendance at the fair has been
nearly four times as great this week as
last, and is increasing very perceptibly
every day. With this constant rush of
visitors our little force is kept constant Ism
employed, hardly having time for enjoy
ing meals.
Some dark looking mineral brought from
Burke county has been carefully examin
ed by eminent men here and iu New York,
and has becu pronounced tin ore, (cassi-
terite.) of high grade, carrying seventy
perceiitum of tin. This is a valuable dis
covery and will doubtless lead to a thor
ough exploration of the locality.
Mr. McGehee the Commissioner of Ag
riculture, leaves for North Carolina this
week. He leaves thoroughly satisfied
with the work accomplished for thy State,
id full of bright hopes for her future
outcome. Those of Uj who remain hero
regret that he finds it necessary to return;
for hfa presence has. been an unceasing
source ot pleasure to those associated
with him. His uniform, courteous con
sideration for those around him, has plac
ed him pre-eminent in their esteem. If
your correspondent can find the time,
these letters will be continued.

An Opinion by the Lupreme Court which
Knocks the Bottom out of It.
Washington, Oct. 15. In the Supreme
Court to-day, Justice Bradley delivered
the decision iu the case of the United
States vs. Samuel D. Singleton, involv
ing the constitutionality of the act of
Congress, of March , 1875, entitled "An
act to protect all citizens iu their civil
and legal rights."
He decided that the first and second
sections of the act are unconstitutional.
Justice Bradley took the ground that the
scope of the 13th and 14th amendments
did not extend to the social privileges
sought to be guaranteed by the legisla
tion in question. The court was niinni
mous with the exception of Justice Har
lan, who said that under ordinary cir
cumstances he would be slow to oppose
his individual judgment to his colleagues
but this decision defeated what the peo
pie intended to secure, and supposed thev
had secured, and hence he must dissent
trom the opinion. He had not had time
to formulate his views, however, and
would, therefore, merely announce his
dissent.
Quite a number of prominent lawyers
were within the bar to listen to the opinion
including the Attorney-General, ami Sen
a tors Bayard and Garland. The decision
will apply to the five civil rights cases
iu that Court, based on the first and sec
oud sections of the civil indits act of
Match 1st, 1875. They are respectively
prosecutions under the act for not admit
ting certain colored persons to equal
s
accommodations aim privileges in inns
or hotels, in railroad cars or theaters.
The court holds, as stated, that Con
gress had no constitutional authority to
pass the sections in question under the
13th or 14th amendment of the ennstitu
t ion. The decision, however, is held to
apply only to the validity of ihe biw iu
the States ami not in the lerntories of
District of Co ii mbia where , the legisla
tire power ot Congress is unlimited. The
decision is the subject of universal com

Passing by some minor objections, the
one t ha t goes to the merits of the case is
that the law is in violation of Act. 9.
Sec. 2nd of the constitution which pro
vides that there shall be no discrimina
tion - in favor of or to tho prejudice of
either race. In levying the assessment
it becomes necessary to assess all per
sons living within certain boundaries
and the opponents of the measure urge
that it is wrong to tax the negroes living
in those boundaries' for the declared pur
pose of establishing a graded school for
whites, even though the law provides
that all the money paid by the negroes
shall be expended in their education. It
is a question of great importance and no
doubt will be maturely considered. A
motion for an order to restrain the coun
ty authorities from the collection of the
assessments will be heard before Judxe
McKoy at the approaching term of our

Paper Pulp as a Floor Covering.
Our attention has been drawn to a new
invention which, in the first place, eon
sists of the utilization of oxidized oil,
which, although possessing peculiar and
valuable properties,' remarkably like tap
dia rubber, is not very generally known,
nor used to the extent to which it might
be applied. 1 Ins oil is a body ot a tough
aim elastic nature, but lacking the cohe
sion of india rubber, which' is perhaps,
tlie principal reason why its use is hmi
ted. It therefore occurred to the inven
tor of the new floor covering, that if this
body could be combined With a felted
fibrous material, it would form an article
of great value. He has, therefore, devised
a method by which the oxidized oil can
can be incorporated with paper pulp
1 he result is a stroug, soft and elastic
fibrous material, which can be put to
innumerable uses, according to the raw
material employed and the method of
treatment. Thus, excellent floorcloth
can be produced in a variety of qualities
consideiably cheaper than linoleum, and
of much more pleasing appearance. With
certain bituminous admixtures a mate
rial cau be made so cheap that it can be
employed as a roofing felt, and ship's
sheatiug It It ; and tor these purposes it
be made almost hie proof. It would
le a most valuable material to all classes
of engineers ax a substitute for india
rubber; and as it can be vulcanized am
hardened like ebonite, it is suitable for
electrical purposes. It would make ex
cellent soles for bMts iu the place o
gutta percha, and it may bo em ploy e
as a substitute lor the latter tor man v
purposes.
I he inventor has also just patented
another process bv which the mm ufac-
ture of paper may be applied to a num
ber ot purposes, amongst winch, to tin
manufacture of soft felty fibrous material
to be used in the place of felt and othei
carpets, and where cooluess and smel
of oil cloth are objectionable. By this
process a mairriai quite as son, as ordin

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 1:1. The indict

connection with the late money order
clerk J. 0. Nail, charging him with em
bezzlement of the post office fundi, by a

charges that the defendant having been

master having custody of public money
to l he amount of $302,257, they unlawful
ly failed to deposit the same in the sub
Treasury at New York, as required by
law. The second charges them with con
