A Sell on a Policeman. A few nights ago some one pUcd "Punch," the wooden image of a cigar store on Front street, in a recumbent po sition on the door-step of the store. A valiant Knight of the star saw the "man'. in the door aud ordered him to "move on." No notice was taken of the com mand, and a person who was passing was requested to help the policeman raise the man to his feet. They laid hands on the supposed man before they discovered the true nature ot things.The policeman swore he J wooden-t arrest the figure, but wood like to punch the fellow who put him there. Taxing Railroad Property Gene ral Meeting of County commission era. Yestesday morning at 11 o'clock, says theCharlotte Ob server of yesterday's date, a meeting of the commissionerstof counties through which the Carolina Central Rail way passes was held at the court house in this city. The attendance was not at as large as was anticipated. The fol lowing was the representation: Messrs B G Worth and W H James, of New Hanover; D S Cowan, of Colum bus; Geo M Phiferand Mr Smith of Lincolntoo; Mr McCormack, of Robeson; T L Vail, of Mecklenburg. Capt D R Murchison, one of he re ceivers of the road; Capt V Q Johnson, the superintendent, and Maj C M Sted man . attorney for the company, were in attend thee to urge upon the meeting the adoption of a uniform rate of taxation cf the company's property in the several counties. It seems that there has been a wide difference in the rate of assess ment, some counties doubling the value fixed by others. Capt Johnson, the superintendent, made a statement, setting forth that tbe total property of the compauy could not be sold for more than $900,000; of this amount,someihing over $250,000 invested in rolling stock ,wbich was returnable in the county iuJ which the road had its headquarters or central office. Dividing the remainder by the num ber of miles of the road it was shown that tbe raihoad bed, including iron, &c, and the depots, shojld not be valued at more than $2,500 per mile. In one of the lower counties, it was stated thevaluati.n was at the rate of $5,000, and in Mecklenburg $3,000. The company asked that the valuation be uniform and expressed a willingness to pay at the rate of $2 500 per mile. An informal discussion was had, in which it was agreed tbat the meeting could do nothing but recommend a valua tion to the different boards represented ; that tne valuation could only be fixed by the board of equalization, composed of tbe county commissi l era and the assessors of the couudes at large, which meets the first Monday in August in ihe several coun ties throughout the Slate. An effort was made to induce tne meeting to recommend $2,500 as the rate, but they could not agree upon this, some of tbe commissioners wanting $3,000. They seem to be about equally divided between these two amounts, with a preponderance ia favor of $2,500. The company was advised to present to the different boards of equalization the facta that had been shown to tbe meeting, w her upon, there being no further business H adj jurned mine di4. Review.

His death at the hands of the Zulus, in South Africa, as announced by a cable dis patch, is a fitting clos to a life which, young as it was, has had in it but little of cheer and comfort during the past decade. Tbe Boaaparte line is now nearly extinct i j 'Ihe king Nuisance i Tne practice of turning bogs out cn tbe streets on Sunday ia becoming more general and the streets lo k lik a large hog pen. We beard a colored man saying a tew days ago that he had "the m st sensablisr hogs in town. 1 Said he, I turns 'em out sundown Saturday evening and 1 dontsee 'em any more 'till 'dey comes up to de gate 'bout day break Moqday". The practice hs been carried ou for so long a time that the hogs seem to have learned just how long they can with safety prowl about the streets ro 'ting up grass plats and demolishing flower gardens. Some time during last Saturday night a couple of hogs opened a gate on Seventh street, rooted up the yard, and wound up their work by tearing several small chickens to pieces. We do not believe iu making persons do more thau is absolutely neces sary cn the Sabbath Day but, we think the nuisance has assumed such proportions as to make it a matter of necessity that the cart should be on the streets ou Sunday. As soon as sever 1 of the bogs are captured and their owners fined for a violation of tbe City Ordinance the nuisance will be put a stop to. City Court. Charles Murphy was arraigned for abus ing and insulting a police officer in the discharge of his duty. The testimony of the witnesses went to prove that Health, OIHcer Scharf, while on the premises of Mr. Murphy yesterday, in the regular discharge of his duty, inquiring into the sanitary condition of the place and making inquiry into the number of badgeleas dogs on the premises, in accordance with a recent order of the Chief of Police, was cursed ami abused by the defendant and ordered off his premises. The defendant maintained, through his counsel, Marsden Bellamy, Esq., that the officer had invaded the sanctify of his private domain, his castle and lot, with out the proper authority of law aud that in vindication of his rights as a citizen he had a right to put him off the same. Tne Court held a different opinion and fined the defendant $25 and costs, from which an appeal was craved to the Crim inal Court, the defendant furnishing a justified bend in the sum of $75 for his appearance at that time. James Clark, colored, ths individual more commonly known as Lemonade Jim, who perambulates Water street con stantly to the great annoyance of coun. trymen, by his persistent efforts to in duce them to go with him and buy some thing, was arraigned next for molesting and interfering with a police officer in the discharge of his duty. Tbe Mayor kind ly furnished Jim with lodging for the next thirty dayn, and the defendant made his exit through tie Court room door to the apartment awaiting him in the City Prison below. The next cae was a very aggravated one of drunkenness and disorderly con- duct. The party b-iug a sailor man whose vessel was ready for her voyage he was allowed to deposit $10 fine and depart to go down in hit siiip to the sea This wound up the proceedings of the day and the Court adjourned.

A private dispatch was received in this city thia afternoon conveying the grati fying Intelligence that one of the South em firms .doing business in New York, whose failure from speculation in cotton futures occurred as reported a few dajs ago, has resumed business again, and will pay 100 cents on the dollar. The narce of the firm is W. H. & J. H. Farley. A Breakdown. This afternoon a dray driven by a col ored, aian loaded with thirteeu sacks ot corn and hauled by a p or old horse, broke down in frout of the commission house of Messrs. E. Peschau & Weater mann, caused by the breaking of the axle Tbe fall of the dray threw the horse (no very hard matter) and scatteied the corn rather loosely about the street. There were in all about 1,500 pounds on the dray, which is too much load for a poor horse. It would be well to put less corn on the dray and more in the horse. Meeting of tbe Chamber of Commerce' In the absence of tbe President of the Chamber of Commeice.A. H. VanBokke- len Esq., the Secretary, Col. J. L Cant well, has issued a notice by authority of the first Vice-President of the Chamber, Mr. E. Pt schau, calling a meetiug of this body at the rooms of tbe Produce Ex change to-morrow at high noon, to meet with the Produce Exchange, for the pur pose of presenting some testimonial of acknowledgement to Mr. Henry Nutt for the part be has taken in securing govern ment aid for theCipe Fear river Bar Im provements. The Treasurer's Decisions. Among the decisions announced by tie State Treasuer, in response to enquiries made by Mr. M. Cronly, Assessor for Wilmington township, is one relative to solvent credits, iu which he says that "taxpayers must list their solvent croditi, in or out of hte State, estimating their value at what they would bring at a vol' untary sale." As far as this decision is concerned it strikes us that Mr. Worth has said either too little or too much. Surely he could not have carefully es timated his langsge. The law dees not propose to tax anything above its value or below it and the only estimate of the value of anything is what it will bring in market at a forced sale, for cash. A man's voluntary estimate of anything held by him is sometimes as much over or as much under its actual market val ure as esti nates on the same made by others. And the question will turn, too, on what are solvent credits. A note or an account may be worth one hundred cents on the dollar to-day, when a man lists bis taxes, but may not be worth one hundred mills on the thousand dollars, one, or two, or three months hence, when be pays his taxes. He lists a credit to -day as solvent and yet when he pays his taxes he will be compelled to pay taxes on what may prove then to be an abso lutely worthless piece of paper. DIED.
