Abundant harvests have been among the rewards of industry. With local exceptions health has been ame.n0 the blessings rejoiced in. Tranquility at home and peace with other nations have prevailed.

Gradually, but uneler the provHenee of Goel, surely as Ave trust, the nation is recoA-eriug from the lingering results of a dreadful civil strife.

This giive. abundant time for those who prcjKired the hex books to observe this requirement of the Legislature anel the Supreme Court. But it was not done. Are the edicts of these highest tribunals of the State to be thus disre gareled by those officers of the county nnd State who have sworn to support them ? lleatl below the decision of the Supreme Court o:i this grave question, as rendered by Judge Keade: SOLVtNT CT.EIUT.S DECISION OF TIIE StTRFJIK COtT.T THAT TllflV MAY EE TAXED. We collate important parts of the decision of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, rentlered last Monday, on the question whether solvent cred its can be taxoel : The case was IlnfSa vs. the Commis sioners of Orange. The plaintiff listed for taxatkm "15,000, money on tleposit." The amount of tax was .8102, ami she askctl to have the amount stricken from her tax list ; or, if U. S. Treasury notes are exempt ami Na-tion.-d Bank bills are not, then that $S1 tdiall be stricken from the list. The Commissioners refuseel to alter the list, anel the plaintiff appealed to the Superior Court, and that Court di recteel the Commissioners te correct the list by striking out 102, his Honor liohling that neither United States Treasury notes nor National Bank bills were subjected to taxation by tlie States. Whet her that be so or not, it semi n -t to be necessary to the decbion of the ease, because it is plain that the plaintiff had neither United States Treasury notes nor National Bank bills "on hand" or "on ileposit." It is true she hail eleposited 15,000 in bunk, but it was not a special deposit, as a package to be kept feir her ami return ed in kintl when called for, if so, the money, the very money deposjteel would have remained hers. But it Avas a general deposit entered to her "cred it," not re'tnrnable in kinel, but "pay able" tt her order with "interest." So it wouhl seem that she hail no money at all anil ought not to h.we listeel any. The point mest iliscusseel at this bar was, whether Uniteel States Treasury notes and National Bank bills were Liable to taxation by the State. And although as we have seen, it is not necessary to the tlecision of the ease, yet, as his Honor's judg ment was based upon it, and as it is a matter of general interest, il may be proper that we should ex press our opinion upem it. It seemcel to be settled IA" numerous cases in the I-m ted States Siiprenie Court, cited I in plaintiffs brief, beginning with Me- ..... T l .- . . . . i UiiOCIl ". S. JMII1K Ol AI a TV HUIll, Illilt !

And it is eqvuillv w: 11 settled that, the United States Jovernmeiit cannot tax any of the necessary means used to administer the State government. But whether a S'ate can tax National Bank bills sr-rms io bo a debatable question. The case cited against the power of the St.de is Yea.ie Bank vs. Feimo S Val, odd. We do not think that case support;, the position. It is there de cided by a divided court that Congress may tax the circulation of banks: chartered by thei State. And that although the tav was so heavy about 1( per cent. as to destroy them. It i i not pietended that this tax could have been impeiseel, if the bunk had be-on chartoied for the use of the State, ami as a means of administering goA" ernmt ut. But it is put upon the grouml that they are corporations for privi.te profits. And as the power of Congress to tax the circulation of State banks depeinls upon Avhcthcr they are for the use of the State government or for priA-ate profits; so the power of the State to tax the circulation of national banks elopenels upon whether they are fen- the Uniteel States Government or for private profit. It is true they are authorizcel by Congress as a currency convenient ami useful for circulation, just as State Bank bills are authorized by the State. But in neither case have they necessarily any connection with the Government. The act of Congress authorizing National Banks imposptl a tax on their circulation of 2 ptr cent., and surely that wouhl net have been if they had been yegardel as a part of tlie Government, as that would have been the -tame na for the Government to tax itself. The truth is that the United States Government has interests in National Banks. It authorizes them in ortler to provide a currency, not for the Government, but for the people, and it has tho power to regulate and protect them. To this end it prorielen for the redemption of their notes, protects them from impo tion of counterfeits, ami from injuri ous competition of State Bauks by a heavy tax on State Bank bills, and no doubt might fuither protect them by forbidding the States to tax them. But this has not been done, ami until it is done we suppose the State has the ower te tax them. It seems that all that is to be inferred from the tlecision in Yeazie Bank m. Fenno, supra, is, that not the National Bank bills are ex empt, but that Congress has the power to exempt them from State taxation. Reversed. Reade, J.

He says: This peaceable anel ' usually quiet community was thrown j into great excitement this morning at j the announcement tliat Charles Boon, a young man of intemperate anel dis- i reputable habits, though the son of j one of our oldest ami most respectable i citizens, had been most brutally anel foully murdered during last night at I tho house of n old colored man by the name of Dick Minims. It. seems that j Wiley Evans and Dugal Bryant, both I mulattoes of bad charaeterand prob- ably other negro men, and some two j or three white women of tlie most I debase character, together with the deceased had met at old Dick's during the night, and had u general frolic during the first part of the night, all drinking probably, ami during that time young Boon Avas killeel, by having his head cut open with an axe. Early this morning old Dick, who is totally deaf, iliscovercd the body lying on his floor, aud on examination, found it to be lifeless. Notice was giA'eu to the Sheriff, aud immediate ste-ps Avere taken to arrest all parties concerned. It was soon ascertained that Evans ami two of the outcast wome i had gone off squirrel hunting. Pursuit bein- maele, they were soon arrested and brought back, the women exhibi ting great excitement. They elenietl knowing anything about Avho killed Boon, '"he aid the lie-k but did not see who did it." Bryant, hearing he was suspected, went to the sheritf and sur remlered. This murder, for cold bloodeel and inhuman brutality, ex ceeds anything that has t-ver taken place in this sction. The jury of inquest liaA-e just ren dered a verdict that the murder was committed by Evans er Bryant or both, and they Avere committed, as also Avere the women, until after further inves gatiou. This mureier, so dialolical and cohl blooded, has created a mest profound excitement, anel the whole community manifests the most intense sympathy for the family ei the el r ceasetl, who are among our most res pectable citizens. Count)- Cminsibiicrs. The Board of County Commission ers met last evening, the principal object of the meeting being to hear complaints relative to the increased assessment of real estate for taxes in various towush'ps in this county. Mr. E. B. Saunders appeared as Attouey for Col. John D, Powers and others ef Union Uownship, ami after a thorough examination into the case before them the Commissioners calleel upon the gentlemen of the eight com plaining townships for an expression of opinions as te the increased assess ment, anel each anil every one was free to say thatthe increase was unjust, and iu many instances shenveei a thorough want of knovvleelge ou the part tf the Commissioners, of the work they had undertaken. It is just to say that they, the Commissioners, showed a perfect willinguess t i listen to the complaints of all parties, and give relief, where it is just to do so, auel for that purpose will sit from day to day, until the comp!a"nts are all acted upon. We believe that the result will be in favor of the protest ing tax-payers. The following, by Commissioner Chadbourn, Avas adopted : WiiKKEAS, Complaints are made by the tax-payers rosiding in the diti'erent townships of New Hanover county, it is .V.sor, !, That this Board continue in scssio i from day to day until saiel comphtiuts are disposed of, in manner anel form as required by Section 17 of Act of flcnern!

A gentleman Avho arrived in this city yesterelay, on the Charlotte train, tells us of a homicide that oceiurreel on the circus grounds at Lumberton, some time during Thursday night. Early yesterday morning the elead body of a young man about 23 years of age by the name of Ben'j F. Smith, was found dead on the sptt occupied by the cir cus tents the night before. From the injuries found on his person it is thought that he Mas killed by blows from a tent pin, although it is not kimwn Avho the murderer is. Ail that can be ascertained is that he went to Lumberton on Thursday from Abbotts burg, anil that he1 was in company with a young man by the name' of Morris, en employe of the company shops at Lauriiiburg, the hitter liaAing been himself severely wouaelttl in the face in this or some other melee of Thurs day night. We could not Lear any thing relative to Mr. Morris statement, but the geneial impression is that Mr. Smith was killed by one of the hands employed hy tlie circus. A colored man who was first taken into employ here says, we nnderstane), that he saw the blow struck, and that he coulel ielentify the man if he saw him again. The proprietors of the circus knew neitking of the matter until yesterday afternoon, anil Mr. Morgan, one of the agents who is now in the city, requests us to state that Mr. Haight will give every facility in his power for the ele tection of the murelexer, f.nel Avill promptly surremler him into the hands of justice as soon as he is identified, provieled he is a member of his troupe. There is much excitement in regard to the matter both at Abbottsbnrg anel Lnmlierton, ami a party Avent up to Rockingham on the traiu yesterday to eneleavor to ferret out the guilty person.

We extract the following in .regaril to Weston's walking and the races from the report in yestenlay's Raleigh Men tlnel . At 12 M. Weston, the edestrian, commenceel his feat of walking fivo miles in one hour, half a mile of tho distance backward. The following is the re-cord of his time as aunounccel by the judges: 1st half mile, 5:35; 2d, (backwarils) 8:20; 3d, 5:55; 1th, 5:50; 5th, 5:50; tith, 5:25; 7lh, 5:10; 8th, 5:38; Mb, 5:22: 10th, 5:22; making tho live miles in 58 minutes anel 57 seconds. To aeld to the interest of this race, the committee, by consent of Mr. Weston, permittcil the following to jetin in: James Chestnut, ef Johnston, Rufus Powell, . f Wake, J. T. Teas ley, of Wake, ami Sterling Alston, c"eL, of -Alamance. These competitors walked Iwoand a half to three inilcsand showed remarkable agility, but finally e-iived in. Chestnut, of .Johnston, is a capital walker, ami can beat the cham pion iu speed. Mr. Weston is a first-iate, honest v.alkrr. He informed us that this was ono of the severest feats ho ever per formed. In the first two miles lie lost two miuute-s, ami tho half mile back waiil Avalk made him almost despair of making his time. Tho vertical sun upem ihe white surface e f tho track was almost too much for him, and ho feared a shock of sunstroke similar to one kc had a a ear ago. Nothing but his self-prido aud a wish to keep faith with our people, sustained him. He addetl, however, that tho track was one of the best he had ever walked over. It is thought Mr. Weston Avill repeat his feat to-day. Tin-; HACKS. The first race in the trial of speed was for a purso of $.350, mile heats, best three in live.

During his career he paintcel nearly all the public men of South Carolina anel many of the Senators and Representa tives in Ceirigress at Washington.

These picturt a wore ex hibiteel at tho Academy e f Design in that year, ami the last" named work is noAv iu the posscssiem of the Board of Education, Ho also painted a por trait of Mr. Erastus C. Benedict for the same body. His portrait of tho ' BeA Eleazer Williams, the so-calletl Bourbon, was painted in 1855, and at tracteel consielcrablo attention. Iii 1849 he exhibited a portrait of James Watson Webb, and in 1SG0 his pictures of General John A. Dix and ReA Alexander Campbell received the favorablo consideration of tho National Acatlemy of Design and caused his election as an Academician of that boely. Ho was elected an associate of the Academy in 1810. Mr. Bogle was a conscientious ami pains taking, rather than a great artist.

Two of them de serve particular attention: First, the case of Noble ,urratt. When the beastly marshals were making money out of the Ku-Klux troubles and inau gurating a reign ef terror in the West ern counties, Jim Scog'-ins, Mack Jolly and Leander Jolly went over to South Carolina after Noble Surratt. They found him sitting on a gentle man's porch. They told him that ho was their prisoner and must go with them. He saiel tl tat ho would not go unless they Inula ai arrant, for his 'ir rest. Not ha.vin.; the warrant , one of them (Jim Scoginf;, ve believe;, draggeel him oil" fie porch and struck him k ven -iy in the siue with his pistol. The la.di.uis then marched the o'.d man ,igbt miles through tho mud, he being mi foot and they on horseback. Not getting along fast enough with biia in his exhausted conelition, they beat him by Ihe way sitle. They marched him 10 Kuther forelton, ami there refused him bail for I've days, keeping him coufiuoel irs the common jail. Tu the better el ays of the country t ie lawie-s s fellows whe made an illegal arrest- and maltreated a prisoner would have be, u sent to tho pohitc-ntiary for four or 'Ive yours. Tho jury found them guihy, and then His Ilelnor annouue: d " S utlgmenfc suspendoel on payment of costs."' It was the ohl story of "a penny anel costs !" The second ease of : pooial interest whs one in which the beastly marshals again figured. A low fellow named Long got a squ.nl f soldiers a id somo of his own gang and surrounded a Baptist Association, avi rsh'pping quietly ;it Bethlehem Church ou tho Sabbath day.

The right to worship God without disturbanco ami Tuolcstatieili is the higlmst and most sacred right that a himiau being can enjoy. The ruffians, Avho aetetl so outrageemsly, eleseiAeel a ten 1 of many years iu the penitentiary. Their case was not even brought into court, but was arranged by a submission outside, ou payment of costs ! ! It should be stated, however, iu simple justice to the Honorable Court, that fhe rowdy gang professt el to be Ku-Khrx hunt ing, and that, in loyal eyes, "covers a multitude of sins." It is equally evi dent that the law lessness and partisan ship of the courts have been pleaded by lawless men, as an excuse for their ewn acts of violence. Citizens in Arizona, meeting Apaches, report them armed with uoav Govern ment guns, and they accuse the agents of furnishing them to the Indians. Senator Fentou, of New York, veu tures a prediction that will inspire terror in the politician's breast. He expri sses the belief that the coming session of Congress, like that of last winter, will be largely devoted to in vestigation, for he believes that tho people will insist on finding out, through their representatives, Aihat i being done with all the money thafc tho Government is spending. General Hooker, in the late reunion of the army of the Cumberland, re ferreel to the Confederate army against which he had fought, iu these terms : " Search the world over and you will not find the like of them.
