THE CUBAN QUESTION.
Either Spain had the right to cap
ture a vessel carrying American colors,
or she did not have such right. She
can run vessels into - British waters
and there take them, or she cannot.
She has the rightvto shoot prisoners
in cold blood, or she has not.
Spain is responsible to the United
States for a horrible outrage. She is
said to be responsible to Great Britain
fur an invasion of the domain of that
country. She is undoubtedly respon
sible .to the moral sentiment of Chris
tendom which she has set at defiance
and outraged.
The act of the volunteers is the act
of Spain. If the President of Spain
will do all in his power to make repa
ration, he will in part vindicate the
honor of his people. :-. i ;
A great indignation mass meeting
will be held in New York Monday
evening. The country is excited, and
ask, as it ought to . ask, for action.
What will Grant do? He has but
one honorable coarse before him ask
the Spanish government to punish
Bnrriel and the others guilty of the
inhuman deed of the 6th and 7th of
Xevember, to restrain the volunteers
and to protect American interests in
the island. To consent to act as
Spain's assistant in policing Cuba
would be humiliation. The insult
must be resented, and the one way to
do so is to hold the Madrid govern
ment responsible.

Cheerful Feeling In Money Circles
Dry Goods Sales Tbe Advance la
Gold.
Herald, Friday.!
There was quite a cheerful feeling"
in money circles yesterday upon the
cumulative evidence which comes to
ns from all sides of improvement in
the general situation. It is gratifying
to note in this connection and. as
forming a helpful part of it, the ready
iiequiescence of operatives and work
ing men generally in a reduction of
wages, while the hint before made,
that the stoppage of many manufac
tories was more largely due to the
purpose to bring about this result
than from any other cause, is shown
in the rapid reopening of many estab
lishments that have been closed for
the past few weeks. --
THE GKEAT DBT GOODS' SALES
iiow going on in this city help, too,
this-result in stimulating a freer eir--cu
Union 6f money. The banks of
this city now announce themseluesas
Jiuldiu 27,000,000 in legal tenders,
cliuir rapid gain in this respect being
j l niUt in part attributable to the
uo.eiucut ui funds here to meet dry
iOnif x tin r-liou-a . j. ..
There wax -something of the old
fever of 1862, 1863, 1864 and 1865 in
jik'u m hlood ui the Gold lioom, and
if a heavily armed ship had only fired
ft salute in the bay it is possible gold
might have jumped out of sight upon
ih sumption that tbe city was be
iug bombarded. - , .-,
THB ADVANCE IN GOLD
was no!, however, without grounds.
T'.ie advance of "tbo rates of foreign
exchange makes the shipment of gold
I his way no longer profitable, while
th refusal of the Bank of England
to further advance its minimum rate
f discount at the regular meeting
yesterday and the easier feeling in re
I'eet to money m the open market
are accepted as indications that the
inovtmient is thought there to be
arrested.
The Fayetteville papers report
the Fair in point of exhibition tbe highest
success. The Gasette, dated Thursday, says':
We do not hesitate to say, (and we are sup
ported in tkg opinion by many who attend
1 both) that Farmers' Hall and Food and
Condiment Hall surpass the same depart
ments at the State Fair. Ia Floral Hall we
ave had in previous years larger exhibi
tions, but none more attractive. The ar
ticles are very beautiful. Ia Manufactures
and Mechanics' the showing is good. In
Lave Stock the animals are fine, and the en
tries of about average number. The poul
try is very good. Up to last evening there
were nearly 1,000 entries, and many more
are to come in to-day. - ' - -

Sheriff Black will leave for Raleigh to
morrow morning with a petition,'' numer
ously signed by our citizens, together with
a resolution of the Board of County Com
missioners, which Ve publish elsewhere,
praying that the General Assembly, which
meets on that day, will,' in view of theprea
sent unsettled condition of financial affairs,
grant some relief to our people by extend
ing the time for selling the property of those
whose taxes remain unpaid. ' To give some
idea of the necessity ef such relief on the
part of the Legislature we would state 'that
there are now upwards of one thousand
pieces of property advertised for sale for
delinquent taxes in this county, represent
ing in the aggregate valuation over one mil
lion of dollars, which; tfu Sheriff will be
compelled to sell unless the needful action
shall be taken. It seems to be the universal
desire of our people that such relief may be
granted, and we hope that the documents
which Sheriff Black will lay before the
Legislature may receive the early and favor
able consideration of the members. .

Proceedlns In Called Session.
A called meeting of the Board of County
Commissioners was held yesterday; present,
the Chairman, 8. N. Martin, Esq., and
Commissioners Rice, Chadbourn and
Morris. ,-:.-;..'"."- .: "
The following was adopted:
Whereas, The financial panic now ex
isting throughout the TUnited States has
caused great distress and. scarcity of cur
rency, rendering it difficult for tax-payers
to meet their taxes due and remaining un
paid, it is : l i . ,t. - -
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Board
of County Commissioners that an act of the
General .Assembly postponing the sale of
property for unpaid taxes' until the first
Saturday in February, 1874, will relieve the
tax-payers and work no damage to the
State..,; , . ..
Resolved, further. That the Chairman of
this Board send a copy of this resolution to
the members of the General Assembly on
their assembling in Raleigh, with the request
that it be brought to the attention of the
Legislature at the earliest moment.
On application of A. R Black, Sheriff,
for the employment of ,a guard for the
county jail, it was ordered that the Sheriff
be authorized to employ one guard for the
county jail at a cost not to exceed one dol
lar per night .
Margaret Ann Herring, of Lincoln Town
ship, a helpless invalid, was granted assist
ance to the amount of $4 per month; in
cluding November. -
It was ordered that the sale of the proper
ty of the Wilmington Bridge Company for
State -and county taxes for 1871; 1873 and
1873, be and is hereby postponed until the
question of the legality of the levy of said
taxes be settled by the proper Courts. It
was ordered " further thai the . Attorney of
this Board be and is hereby " requested to
press the matter to an early adjustment
And it was further ordered that the order
in the hands of the Sheriff shall be his au
thority for the postponement of said sale in
his settlement with the Auditor of the State
and county authorities. " , :
The Board adjourned subject to a call of
theChairman. " -- - :
Memorial Tablet. ... i u : -
A very handsome tablet has been erected
in St. Thomas' Catholic church, in memory
of the Rev. Thomas Murphy, formerly the
beloved pastor of that church, who died
here shortly after the yellow fever scourge
in 1862. Many of our readers will remem
ber the patient devotedness of Father
Murphy, who, when a dreadful pestilence
stalked abroad through our city, zealously
labored in the cause of humanity, serving
all without distinction of creed or sect His
untiring efforts were alike for all. And when
the cry of death had ceased, and those who
had fled ' from the scourge returned,
Father Murphy, wearied with his long and
faithful ministrations and watch in gs at the
bedsides of the sick and dying, was himself
taken sick and died after a short illness and
his bereaved congregation bore his remains
to their present resting place beneath the
church. The tablet is a grateful tribute to
his memory and we are gratified to learn
from Fathers Gross and White that many
non-Catholics in our city, by liberal dona
tions, materially aided their efforts and
those of the congregation in procuring the
tablet i
i
Mayor's Court.
The following cases were disposed of
yesterday morning: ' -
Charles Womouth, charged with -drunkenness
and disorderly conduct on the streets,
was fined $20.
Stephen Aratt, charged with refusing to
assist an officer to make an arrest when sum
moned to do so, was fined $12 50.
Henry Crunst, charged with the same
offense, was required to' pay a fine of $25.
Oar ' Saw Mills The Timber Bnsi
ness, 4ce
Several mill men called on us yesterday
to request that we would correct a false im
pression which has gotten afloat calculated
to seriously affect their business. . There
are five saw and planing mills in the habit
of .running 'regularly in this city, They
have of course felt the influence of the
pressure in money matters in common with
all other trades, professions and businesses,
but the proprietors have continued to fill
all orders which have come to hand and to
purchase timber as usual when it is offered
in the market Of the five mills, those of
Messrs. Jas. H. Chadbourn & Co., Northrop
& Camming and.Colville & Co., have not
stopped at all. Messrs. Kidder & Sens
have suspended operations for a short time
for repairs, f &c., but. will resume, and
Messrs. d! G. Parsley & Co. have only stop
ped at short intervals, which has been the
case since June last, audit is not an unfre
quent occurrence at this season of the year.
As far as the timber business is concern
ed, it is about on a par wHh'everything ejse,
the prices being proportionate to those now
paid for other articles of produce and man
ufacture brought here for sale. If timber
getters should stop bringing their timber to
market of course the mills will be compell
ed to cease operations, "but until this is the
case (whiciria most unlikely) we see no rea
son at preserivwny they should do so, and
we do not believe they will. At least we are
Jed tojtbh Impression by a cqnyersation
with some of the mill owners themselves.
