You ask "do merchants have to give in their stock of goods on the 1st day of June to tho township trustees. Does their etock come under the head of all other property," &c. Merchants must pay an ad valorem tax on their merchandise on hand ihe let of Jnne. They list their merchandise under tho head of "all other personal property whatever," mentioned in paragraph 7, section 9. Your attention is called to the language of the first paragraph of saheilale B, of "An act to raise Revenue," to wit : "The taxes in this schedule imposed are licence tax for the privilege of carryit-g on th business or doing the act named, and nothing in this schedule contained shall be construed to relieve any person trom the payment of the ad valorem tax on his property as required by the preceding sobedule, &c.

There may have been one or two ethers present whose names have escaped ns, besides Gov. Caldwell. The chief topis of conversation wad the outrage of last Sunday night al Ruiher fordton, in which tbe Star office is said to have been destroyed and Mr. J. M. Jus tice asf-aalfed. On this subject letter was read from Mr. Justice detailing the affair. Numerous suggestions were made as to the beet mode to proceed in bringing the per petrators to justice. , Judge Reade, as we understand, was for vigorous summary ac tion. He wanted a Court of Oyer and Terminer at once called to put upon trial all suspected persons, and this failiDg he was for calliog oa the President for mili tary aid. Judge Merrimon, Hon. B. F. Moore and others advocated a vigorous and rigid enforcement of the hw. The counsel of Judge Reid was not taken, aud it wa fitjally resolved, es the eeuse of the majority present, that Jud?e of the Su perior Court, to act as a peace efficer, and to be cccompanied by the Attorney Gen em! aud the Solicitor of Judge Er gin's Dintrict, be at once appointed to proceed to Rutheifordton to investigate the matter under consideration and to commit such parties as evidence can be found against to ho tried by u Court of Oyer anel Ter miner to be immediately afterwards pro vided for. One other matter was discussed. Chief Justice Pearson alluded to tho great dis satisfaction amongst the people of his cir cuit with the conduct cf Judge Lgan, and suggested that all then present join in a petition to that worthy to resign. Noth ing was done, however, in the premises till just on the eve if adjournmeut when one of the gentlemen present rose and seconded tbe motion of the Chief-Justice. But Jutlge Pearson incontinently backed out and said he had merely made a sugges tion. The Governor's "new departure" then clo:ed its first act. More anon. Sentinel. Wake jail has 38 boarders.

Hidden Wealth K Scrap r History. There were many old men in Bedford county, twenty years ago, who were famil iar with the fetory we propose to relate, and who took a Strang- delight in dwelling upon the facts connected with i It is known that near Big Island, on James river, eighteen miles above thi city, there is a silver mine which, ia the time of the Indians, yielded immense lumps of that metal, and that come of the white Eettlers were familiar wiih its loca tion and paid frequent clandestine visit to it. Tbo e settler, one by one, were called upon to liquidate tbe debt of nature, until, about sixty years since, there was only one man in the wide world who possessed the secret. This man was a poor, obscure laborer, with a large and helpless family to sup port, and though he had the power tj aa core as much of the shining metal as tbe most graspiDg heart could isb. he strangely enough refrained from doing so. But it afterwards transpired that he . was actuated by a fear of bodily harm at the bands of the owner of the valuable trea sure, who tad already devoted many months of toil aod "vexation of spirit" to a vain search for it. The proprietor, whom wa call H., had been freqaeDtty solicited by the laborer to pay a email sum of ready money for the Pcssion of the secret, but he had stead ily refused to do so, believiDg that he would be able to fiod it without assistance. Fi nally, however, he became discouraged, and vihited the laborer's cabin. In the con versation that ensued, he proposed to pay the informer a thousand dollars and an in terest in the profits of the mine, it he would thou and there give the coveted informa tion. The offer was gladly accepted, and the laborer was elated with bright hopes of a oomfortable home, and some of the enjoyment of life. Ho described the loca tion of the ncine so viiily, its exact dis tance from thin, that, and tho other well known object that H. would have 6Worn he c mid rind it in the night. He knew tl at his informant had acted iu good faith ; that he had told the whole truth, and that he was iguorant and timid as he was houest and'unsnepecting. "Now," said 11., "I have all the ihfor mation I want, and if 30a darj to divulge this secret to a living being, or hint Ua payment of the money I promised you, I will proseou'.e yon fjr keeping me from enjoying my property. I will secure you a home in th peuiteu.iary for steal ing my silver." The dream of comfort which had for a moment tantalized the laborer vanished iatothin air, for he be ived tta . II. had power to prosecute him. but this dream was tuperce Jed by "immortal hate and study of revenge." He arose from the broken chair on which ha had been sitting, and said: 'I have tolel yoa the truth; the mine's where I said it was, but I swear it never shall do you or your children any good, and ycu needn't look for it. You'll never have any luck, for trying to fool a poor man like me. The mine shan't be found. H. chuckled over the success of his ex pedition and quietly took leave. For months and even years he neglected all else in his vain search for the shining cave. Tho laborer had given a beau.iful description of the interior, which he de clared looked like a solid sheet of pure silver. Large numbers of Indian arrow heads, several tomahawks, an old bellows, a p:ok, crowbar, tin bucket, hammer and several small lumps of 4he precious metal were found duriDg the next two or three years, but that was all. Finally H. decided upon a different plan of operation. The If borer had emi grated to a point on the Ohio river, and H dispatched a man to see him, with in structions to represent himeelf as the own er of the mine, and bitterly denouence H. es a swindler. '1 ha agent obeyed ordeis to the letter. He toid the laborer that he had been well-nigh ruined by H., who attempt ed to make way with all his property to avoid the payment of a large debt due him; that he had forced the sale of H's effects by a legal process; that he had bought tbe property at public sale, and would make him (he laborer) an equal partner in the silver mine if he would tell where it wag. The laborer believed the story and gave the desiied information, for which he re ceived a hundred dollars; and so minutely did he describe the thicket iu whih the treasure was located that the me3Hen ger Would have staked his existence that he could find it. The thicket was cleared, every shrub was removed, and the ground dug and plowed over; but to this day the secret of the silver mine has never been revealed. Lynchburg Re publican.

A new alleged discovery for the sure of cancer, one of ilie horrible maladies which has hitherto defied the resources of the healing art, is interesting to medioal men. It is reported that a pianc , indigenous to Ecuador, known among the natives by the name of Cundurango.is found to be a &over eigh f pecific for ulcers and scrofulous af fection, and that a cure of cancer was lately effected by it under such remarka ble eircumstinvej a a to result in a diplo matic oomtnunioation from the American representative at Quito to Secretary Fish, setting forth the novel circumstances of the case, and suggesting an investigation of the medical qualities of the plant. A practitioner in Washington has sent his assistant to Ecuador to collect tho healing balm, ar.d the Intsrior department has provided a ward in Columbia Hospital for the purpose of testing the new cure; while the Medical Society qf the District of Co lumbia has appointed a committee of five physicians to apply tbe test. It is to be hoped that the hopes raised by th,e re ported remedy will not, as in so many other instances of alleged cures of cancer, prove illusory. The Excelsior Hose Company of Lowell, Mats, has accepted an invitation from No. 1 Steam Fire Engine Company of Norfolk, VM Bna will visit that city in August. The Sagomore House, a summer resort, with all outbuildihg.3, at Frost's Point, three miles from Portsmouth, N. H., was totally destroyed by fire Monday morning. Loss $40,000.

There ia another influence equally in jurious with theirs, and a great deal more detrimental to the famo and character of the Republican party. I allude to that are known as the "thieving carpet-baggers." Applause. 1 Fellow citizens, do not mistake me. AH tbe Northern men in' the South are not thieves. The larger part of them are honest and good men, some of whom stay there at the peril of their lives, because tbey believe it to be their duty. Next to the noble and true women, who have gone down South to teaoh black children how to read nobler there are not ou earth than these, whoru a etupid, malignart, dilapidated aristoc racy often sees fit to crowd into negro hovels to live, not allowing them to enter any white society, because they are teach ing negro children next to these, who rank as the nebles women in the South, are the honest and worthy Northern men, who, in tbe face of social proscription and general obloquy and scorn, stand firmly by tbe Republican cause. Tho public ia of tea heedlessly unjust. Let a Government have 10.000 official subordinates in power, of whom .9,900 are honest and true men, who do their duty faithfully, while hardJy 100 are robbers and swindlers, the public will hear a great deal moro about the 100 robbers than about the 9,900 trua meu. The 100 stand out in the public eye; they are always do ing something wbic!i exposes them to the scornful gKZ' of tbe mu titude; while the honest and true men pass along silent and unobserved, and nothing is said, very lit tle is thought, of them. All attention is concentrated upon the 100, who are de faulting and stealing, ard forging and run ning away. Well, gtntlemerj, the thieviDg carpet baggers are a mournful fast; they do exist there, and I have seen tbem. (Laughter. They are fellows vrho crawled down South iu tLe track of our armies, generally a very safe distance ia the rear; some of them on euttlert wagons; cotton permits; some cf sharply to see what may t'jey remain there. They at some bearing them looking turn up; and onoe ingratia- ted themselves with tbe blacks simple, oredulous, iguorant men very g!ad to wel come and to follow any whites who profes sed to be the champions of their righ t. Some of these got elected Senators, others Repre sentatives, some Sheriffs, some judges and so on. And there they stand, right in the public eye, stealing and plundering, many of them with both arms around negroes, and their handin their rear pockets, see ing if they cannot pick a paltry dollar out of tbem;and the public looks at them, does not regard the honest Northern men, but calls every "carpet-bagger" a thief, which is not the truth by a good deal. But these fellows many of them with long faces and eyes rolled up are greatly concerned for tbe education of the blacks, and for the salvation of their souls. Great laugh ter "Let us pray," they say. But they spell pray with an "e," and thus spelled, they obey the apostolic injunction to "pray without ceasing." Fellow citizens, the time has been, and still is, when it was perilous to be known as a Republican or an Abolitionist at the South, but it never called the blush of shame to any man's cheek to be so called, until theso thieving carpet-baggers went there never. Applause. They got into the Legislature, tbey went to issuing State bond; they pretended to use them in aid of railroads and other improvements; but the improvements were never made, and tbe bonds stuck in the issuer's pockets. Laughter. That is the pity of it. "Well," some say, "you have just suoh thievea at the North" Yes, we do too many of them. Applause. But the South was already impoverished was bankrupt without money, without thrift, almost without food; and these fellows went there robbing and ewindling, when there was very little to steal, and taking the last ten cent sbinplaster off the dead man's eyes. They were recognized by tbe late aristoc racy, not merely as thieves, but as ene mies. Sajs Byron's Greek Minstrel, "A tyrant bat our masters then Were still at least our countrymen." Let Common Sense Decide. What is the rational mode of procedure in eaaea of general debility ar d nervous prostra tion? Does not reason tell us that judicious stimulation is required. To resort to violent purgation in such a case is as absurd as it would be to bleed a starving man. Yet it is done every day. Yes, this stupid and unphilosophical prao tio8 ia continued in the teeth of the great fact that physical weakness, with all the nervous di.tnrbancss that acaompany it, is more certain ly and rapidly relieved by Hoe tetter's Stomach Bittere than by any other medicine at preaent known. It is true that general debility is often attended with torpidity or irregularity of the bowels, and that this symptom mast not be overlooked. Rut while tho discharge of the waste matter of the aystemis expedited or regu lated, its vigor must be recruited. The Bftters do both.

Young Robert Logan, son of tbe judge and co-editor of the fc tar newspaper in Rutherford ton, arrived here yesterday morning in hot haste, with the information of another outrage in bis town, amounting in the detail to the whipping of Mr. Jus tice, the member from that county, and the demolition of the Star office. The Judge, his son "Robert and others were closeted with the Governor yesterday morning, consulting upon the matter. They say that the parties who whipped Mr. Justice told him it was because of his pol itics that he had taken a prominent part as a republican, and that he must stop it at once, aud much more of such stuff. If Justice, the Judge and the two editor runners" were to swear upon the Holv Evangelists that this was so ; that the po litical complexion of the Star snd of Mr. Justice provoked tbeir attack, we would not believe them. We denounce tbe out rage, oondemn it aa much as any one, and only wish that every one engaged in it could have been punished on the spot ; but we denounce as equally infamous and contemptible, the conduct of those Judges and officers who, instead of doing their duty like upright, honest men, sworn to maintain the law, and proceeding at once to the arrest and punishment of the viola tors, lay aside their duties and fly, "amit with pania fear," to the headquarters cf tbeir party, in Raleigh and Washington, aud parade the matter most ncblushingly and outrageously misrepresented, to the whole country os an oprisicg of the people against the State and general governments, and an effort to overthrow them. There is no excuse for this outrage, par ticularly in the manner in which it was done. J. C. L. Harris informed us that, as Robert Logan tells it, the Ku-Klnx, dis guised as usual, went into the town of Rutherfordton on Sunday night last, ar riving from different directions', and as sembled at the Court House. There wero some fifty in number. Upon arriving at the Court House they fired off a volley, and then some twenty went to the Star office and destroyed it, and some thirty went to the room of Mr. Justice, right in the town, got him out, struck him over the head with a pistol, cutting a gash, and struck him over the back with something then carried bioa cut of town, threatening to kill him, the chief saying he was or dered to do so, but would not, upon con dition that he quit his radical politics, &c. Why is it that this firing did not arouse the citizens ? Why could not Mr. Jastice himself have given the alarm, at least as soon as the parties hed released him, and then all have started in pursuit ? Why did not the battering open of the doors of the Star office, and tho noise necessarily created in breaking the press and fixtures nave attracted some one t Ana where is the military command that was sent to that place some few weeks since ? If it has been withdrawn we have yet to hear of it. Tho whole truth of the matter is, that a mean, cowardly rascality underlies the whole of this transaction. We repeat our denunciation of this violation of the law, and hope the perpetrators may be brought to punishment. But until honest, fear less, intelligent judges shall be put on our superior court benches, and honest, up right gentleman be selected to exeoate tbe law, instead of rowdies and tricky, paltry fellows, we cannot look for that respect for the law and the law-officers, that every good man so much desires to see in our State. We want officers of the law of suf ficent integrity of character anal intelleot to do their duty as they ara sworn to do, and not so conduct themselves as to merit the contempt of all deaent people, the dis trust of honest men, and to provoke the assaults, it may be, of thoughtless, if not criminally disposad men. Will Governor Caldwell do his duty in this matter ? Will he .order a court of Oyer and Terminer to sit at onco for the investigation, trial and punishment of these offenders ? Will he appoint a Judge to preside at that Court who is fit for the position ? who will have the sense and the integrity to do his duty ? Or, will he sus tain these miserable whippers-in of bis party and join in with them in decrying the good people of that section, hold them np as organized breakers of the peace, and endeavor to oppress all, simply be ceause a few disreputable characters have violated the law ? Gov. Caldwell knows, as well as he knows that he is Governor, that no respectable man is concerned in these outrages. He also knows fully as well, that iu every instance wherein such violators have been arrested within the past twelve months, they havo not only been disreputable characters, but members of his own party. VYitnout mrtuer comment for the pres ent we will await the action of the Gov ernor and of those in authority. We shall then have more to say. We have maoh more to say about tho Logan-Justice co operation and some others in connection with this matter. To our mind their skirts aro not so olear of this as they should be.
