Whereas the several Sharlfia in the conntles

cused from collecting taxes of and from tbo

whereas there are many poor and oppressed
citizens of the O.'d North State, who would re
joicein having a similar relief:

Mr. Graham moved that the bill to amend
section 260. title 21, of the Code of Civil Pro
cedure, and its substitute entitled an act in re
lation to costa In criminal actions, be taken np.
The substitute was adopted and passed its
second reading.
Mr. Respass moved the reconsideration ot
the vote suspending the collection of taxes in
certain cases in the Raleigh and Gaston and
Wilminjrton and Weldon railroads.

Mr.- Respass motion to recoasiderpre vailed.
Mr. Bobbins moved that its further consid
eration be postponed until 12 o'elockon Thurs
day next. . ,
Mr. Graham objected.
Me. Rabbins stated that an injunction had
already been obtained in this matter against a
sheriff by the railroad companies, and more
over they claimed they-were overtaxed ; that
there were more taxes laid on some counties
than the law entitled them to lay; that in fact
there might not be a test case after all.
Mr. Love said he believed it was a bill that
did n jt meet the approbation of a single Sen
ator upou reflection.
Mr. Brogdcn said it seemed to be very popu-.
lar with some Senators to -war against monop
olies. . These corporations were willing to pay
the tax properly and legally imposed, and why
did they assail measures or this kind because
they were in favor of wealthy corpomtions.
Why place the bill In that light before the Sen
ate when it merely proposed to have toe mat
ter properly adjudicated. Seuators must ad
mit that there exists some doubt as to the
right of the Legislature to impose this tax, and
the bill proposes to test the question by the
proper tribunal of the 8tate. It merely pro
poses that the matter be properly tested by
the Supreme Court. The remark of a Senator
that these wealthy corporations were striving
to evade the tax legally imposed, while the
poor people were compelled to pay this tax in
spite of all interference, that amounted to
nothing. 8uch stuff as that would have no ef
lect as the people would understand 6uch dem
agogism. ;
Mr. Jones, f Mecklenburg, was opposed to
the postponement of the bill from the fact that
the repeated discussion on the subject would
be a consumption of time on the part of the
Legislature aud thereby of suchex( ense to the
State as would more than amount to tbe taxa
tion required.
Mr. Jones, of Columbus, said the Sheriffs of
these counties had a remedy in the law with
out applying to this Legislature to settle the
difficulty, placing it in the position of plainlitT
when It was their duty to be the defendant.
They come here and ask to be exempted from
committinir an offence in the collection of
taxes, which iu fact they have not committed,
lie thought they might as well go forward and
nat-s a bill to exempt the whole people or
North Carolina But then there wus another
feature iu it, at the lime the charter watgraui
cd to these corporations, the Statu hud an in
terest, while to-day it had not as mm h as a
dollar. Wuy then do they make application
to us when they have a remedy in law, ami
when the State has no interest in these corpo
rations. He hoped the Mil wonld be indeti
niti'ly postponed.

The
Pantin Murder
Confes-
- sion.
The reader will recollect the intense
sensation caused by-, the accounts, of the
horrible murder of the rKinck family, m
the neighborhood of .Pantin, near Paris,
France, about two months ago. One
Traupman was arrested as the. murderer.
He, admitted tbe deed, but represented
Jean Kinck, ttie father, as the principal,
himself as an accessory to the crime. Jean
Kinck or his body could not be found
despite the most vigorous searches, in
France the public interest was aroused to
the highest pitch, but all inquiries were
unsuccei-srul. Spiritual mediums were em
ployed, but could, elicit ho information.
Our news was only fragmentary, and the
interest in a tragedy without development
subsided. The denouement is now before
us. The Opinion National informs its
readers that Tranprnan has made a- full
confession. -Traupman is alone guilty,
We eive his condensed, account of the
facts :
After murdering John Kinck, on August
25, in a plain near. Guebweiler, and bury
ing the body in a place minutely describ
ed by tbe prisoner, Traupman thought ot
ridding himself of the oldest son, Gustave,
who had. been to .Guebweiler to claim
from tbe post-office an order for, 5,000
francs, sent there by Mrs. Kinck for her
husband. Gustave Kinck returned to
Paris, was induced td go to Pantin, and
was. assassinated .two - days before his
mother, a few yards from the ditch which
was to be the grave of the whole tamiiy
On September 20th, after completing
his - preparations. .- Traupman . took the
Kinck family in a fiacre to Pantin. On
reaching the Chemin Vert (Green laoelhe
made? Mrs. Kinck. and the two youngest
children get out. , After passing the last
houses on this narrow, crooked, and' dark
street, they 'came- .into the plain, ' The
ditch bad been dng in h ' hollow deep
enough to prevent what' was going on in
it from being seen from- . the.i Aabervillers
road. The fiacre stopped at the "corner of
the Cnemifl Vert, and - the - driver could

with a knife,, and flung her still alive,
from a distance into the ditch. Then he
rushed opou the mother; a short, ' terrible
struggle ensued, the youngest boy holding
on to his mother's dres3 and uttering
piercing cries; but soon the cries were
silenced. The murderer, to complete his
work, went for the eldest and the two
younger children, who had been left in the
fiacre, and suspected nothing. Traupman
Bent the two young ones ahead, who walk
ed with hands clasped towards the ditch,
the older one following a few paces be
hind them. This was the strongest one of
the three. Traupman commenced with
him, throwing a noose around his neck
and strangling him, cut the throats of the
two others, and finished the old one, who
sho wed signs of life, with a knife. The
rest is known.
A Thrilling Adventure with
- Indians.
A letter from FortFetterman, "Wyoming
Territory, to the Cheyenne Leader states
that on the 27th of October three men
named McEenna, McAlister and Went
worth, ot company K, 2d cavalry, went
out hunting, and night overtook them fif
teen miles trom the fort, near the entrance
of a canon. They turned into a secluded
glen, and while one of them kept watch
the other two made a bed and went to
sleep for the night. About midnight, it
being cold, the watchman very imprudent
ly made a fire and laid down by the side
of his comrades, doubtless not intending
to go to sleep. Gne of them warned him
of his imprudence, but received an assur
ance that art was well and again fell
asleep. It is probable be did tbe same.
A few minutes afterwards a terrific dis
charge of fire-arms in such close proximi
ty that the powder burned the faces of the
sleepers, proved the folly of the watcher's
feeling ot security. The account says :
"One of the men, McKcnna, did not
move a ball had pierced his temple, an
other his heart, and four had entered his
breast. Death itself had succeaded its
counterfeit. McAlister sprang up with a
single exclamation, and pierced by a doz
en bullets. Wentwortb, who was sleeping
between the two, was not scratched. Be
ing a man of great nerve and much expe
rience with thIodians, his plans were in
stantly matured, and as quickly executed.
Seizing his pistol as he slipped from the
side of his dead comrades, he shot the In
dian who confronted him a9 he rose, and
jumped over his prostrate body ; knocked
down the next in Ms path with the butt
of his weapon ; dodged the rest ; sprang
in among the ponies, Irom which the sav
ages had dismounted, and running through
the herd gained the creek, and under cov
er of it9 friendly bushes escaped his pur
suers, and came barefoot over the jagged
rocks and prickly pears to the post, where
he arrived about 6 o'clock in a condition
to move the heart of the most unfeeling.
Tne flesh of his heels and the balls of
his feet were worn to the bone, and on
their raw surlace he had made most of his
terrible march for life.
On receipt of the information the com
pany instantly proceeded t the pl tcc and
found the bodies s he hid de--riied, but
str.mge to say, neither scalped or muii a
ted. Stranger still, their guns, ammuni
tion, overcoats, saddles and b d blankets
were all there undisturbed. One of their
horses had been shot and left; the other
three were taken ofi" by the Indians."
TheliogtiN Watch lliiftinea

We have in this city 75 genuine impor
ters and wholesale traders, besides a large
army of retail dealers and others who are
every year beaten in their business by tbe
bogus watch importer, backed oy aoout
50 dealers in the goods. Not less that
100,000 ot these bogus and oroide watches
were sold in this country last year, and, as
the demand is continually increasing, the
number disposed of this current year will
probably exceed this. Their shops are
usually stored away in little hallways, in
dark basements, or up two or three fights
of stairs in some large .building where
there is likely to be a great deal of traffic
on other accounts. The extent of their
profit is almost fabulous, tor, being in an
illegitimate business, conceived and carried
n deception and fraud, ' these dealers
have no scrnples about the means of dis
posing ot their wares.' ., Indeed so exten
sive is tbe business transacted by some ot
the bogus watch dealers, that one of them
on Broadway boldly proclaims the charac
ter of his trade, and yet, we understand,
sells from 30.000 to S4O.U00 worth a
month. Poor humanity loves to be duped
