There are now before, the Federal court at Raleigh nuns brought hv 1 rea- urer B.iin in behalf of the State of Nun h Carolina atrainrf the Raleigh & last"!i. the Seaboard and Roanoke tind the Wi' uiinton and Weldon raiiroad eotLpatii- s ! involving the riht of the State to tax J those corporations. The suits auainst i the Raleigh k (iaston and the Seaboard . and Iloanoke railroad vouipauii.'s are t" eollect taxes du by them and levied by ! the revenue act of 181)1. The uit ; su.,wn. against the Wilmington and Weldon: The law direct the Board of comtris railroad company is to collect taxi a. sj ,0l.ri ,0 caUsie a tateoiett of the expen b' tnt' Railroad Commissi on.

Iu oxcroi'iosi this pr;w Seaboard and lloauoke railroad compa- j ;o;, the Cumnjissioners in their dbcre't n Dies. The question of th right of the State to tax the branch lines aad a part of the uiaiu nue ui lM uuuuSi.uu auu m ciuuu railroad will also be before the Mate court- ( . ..f.u, iv:i:...., I tr.J.l in a suit brought by in this county. We the companv 1 suppose the suit was instituted here because a i part of the property assessed for taxation j lies exclusively iu the county. In all of these suits very grave ques- tioos are involved the right of a Legis lature to grant away the sovereign power of the StHte to tax the prfwrtv of its citizjus and corporations which' it tas itself creHttd, as Weil as the material ben-! efit which will accrcrc to the common-! wealth bv the increase in it- revenues ' which would result if the decisions 0f the courts shonld be adverse to the cor porations. It is, therefore, highly im portant that the State should have able and sufficient counsel to dofond its inter e'ts in these natters in order that they may not be jeopardized. In saying this we do not mean to reflect in any way up on the counsel who are already engaged. So far as we know they are painstaking able lawyers, liut it there is afety in a multitude of counsellors then the State i jje 'aj;S- however." to t d t'ou should have them. The railroad compa-j gress how Republican. Legislatures nies spare no expense in securing numer-! ot' lork have ignored the ous and able counsel.and theState should 1 of that State and refused t redi,tr.et , ,., , ... . , , i it because it would put Democrats iq dol.kese. There is plenty of l-reee-, eonlrolof thl, Lef.islltrare. lUiUo dent for it, and we believe the people j faTors the force bill, of course. There is will su?uin ueh pci'ion. We call upon 1 nothing further of interest in the Presi- Governor Holt, who, so far, ha.-i not, it is said, moved in the matter, to see to it that the State is fully represented in all these suits. We believe it is hii duty to do so, and there is no time to spare. If these corporations nuht. to pay tixois it is tiiiic they were d.-io;: it. if'thoy I arj not liable it is time it is finally so de- i temined; and not only determined, but djlirtuincd in a manner which will forev er settle the question to the satisfaction of nil parties concerned. This can only be duuo by having plenty of abl countl to argue tha question before thu courts. And while we ure on this subject we want t ) raythnt -t b'dieveit iih?iluty of! our couuty commissioners to cmph y addi j tioual counsel in the suit now pending! relative to the liability of the Wi'-j nington and Weldon railroad company. We repeat here that no reflection is ', meant upon the ability of counsel already j engaged, bat we do mean to say that the J. Cheney for the last fit'te-n years, aud my alkbt lawyets aotnetimcs require btlieve him perfectly honorable in all bus and often prefer awUtancein intricate tod i iraosactions, and financially able to ..... tc:. i 111 ! carry out any obligations made bv their Tcry important matters.
