Sir : Yours cf the 8th inst. to the Attor
ney General, has been referred to this de
partment for answer.
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.
Tbe Attorney General concurs in this
construction of the law.

be, with come show of a returning sense
of what is due to the people of the State,
yesterday afternoon invited a number of
the most respectable gentlemen of the
State to meet him and a few of his pets in
consultation at the executive office, in re
gard to the proper course to be pursued
-a! a tire to the late reported outrage in
Ruiherfordton, ana in reierence to outra
ges in the State generally. The following

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.

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

Tettmg a Cure for Cancer.
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.

honest and true men, who do their duty
faithfully, while hardJy 100 are robbers

They are fellows vrho crawled down

of them with both arms around negroes,
and their handin their rear pockets, see

calls every "carpet-bagger" a thief, which

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

They were recognized by tbe late aristoc

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. They combine aperient and antibili

From the Ba.'elgh Sentinel! '
Another Radical Outrage.
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.
