SPECIAL TAX BONDS.
In a Wake county case, Judge
Henry, who is holding the Superior
Court of that county, decides against
the validity of .the Special Tax bonds.
The decision .is too long for special
examination at present.
, In the case of John C. Blake vs.
Win. F. Askew an action, brought
to recover damages I because the de
fendant refused to receive a Special
Tax bond which the plaintiff had ten
dered him under a contract to deliver
a good State bond, j The defendant
claimed that the Special Tax bonds
were not valid and binding on the
Stte. . ' -L-
, The Judge made two points: first,
whether the Western Divisiou of the
North Carolina railroad was an unfin
ished road in which jtbe State had no
interest at the time of the adoption
of the preseut constitution; and sec
ond, whether a State stands on the
same footing with individuals in re
gard to the acts of her agents, and is
she estopped from denying the valid
ity of her pets.
judge Henry says the road was
unfinished only in the sei:se that it
. hadr never been begun. He declares
that "it was separate and distinct
from the 'Western; North Carolina
Kailroad,' managing its affairs in its
own. way, and deriving its powers
from the same authority; equal to it
in dignity and more powerful in re
sources; and in it the State could not
have had any direct pecuniary inter
est." Therefore he concludes that
the Legislature had no grant of pow-j
. er to pledge to such roadthe credit
and faith of the State in aid.
On the second head the Judge is
equally as emphatic in negation., He
. says that a State cannot repudiate its
debts contracted by agents acting in
accordance with j the instructions
given, but t- the agent does an un
authorized act the State is not re
sponsible. His words are: "There
is this difference between individuals
and the government; the former are
liable to the extent of the power
they have appearently given their
agents, while the-goveramenTs lia
ble only to the extent of the power
it has actually given to "its officers."
In. this decision Judge Henry
clothe3 in tre language of the law
the common sentiment of North Car
olinians. They have decided for
themselves that the special tax bonds
were conceived ; in iniquity and
brought forth in sin. A high court
pronounces in certain language that
the people's previpus'decision was in
accordance with the risjht and law of
the case.

JTail Delivery Four Prisoner Escape.
Considerable excitement was caused yes
terday evening about 5 o'clock, when it be
come known that during th 3 absence of the
county jailer, who had taken several pris
oners to the court house 1 3 receive their
sentences, six captives had made their exit
from the jail and were at large. An ex
amination of the premises showed that
when the prisoners were a' rned j out in the
corridor on the second floor one of the
cells had been left open so that they could
enter and leave it at will. J They must have
come to the knowledge of the fact of the
weakness of the noor or mat particular ceu,
fer.after they had escaped it was seen that
they had perhaps by the assistance of some
hetvy weight'so broken the tiled flooring,
wfih must have been alrekiy considerably
cracked, as to enable them to displace a
piece of sufficiently large to allow them
tfto ass through it to the gr6nd floor, which
wnen once reacnea presenwsa no uum;ib
in the way of their escape! : jviA,,,
Six availed themselves of this opportuni
ty to escape, hut John McRae and Dennis
Smith, two of the numbeiy both colored,
were soon captured after a vigorous chase,
and they were immediately handcuffed and
confined to more secure Colls. Four still
remain at large, viz: Geo.:Crawford,white,
who has been sentenced to five years in the
State Penitentiary: Joe Burke, colored ;

Recovery ot a stolen Watch.
A year ago last November, Mrs. J. A.
Clifford missed a valuable gold watch from
her premises on Market street. ! Supicion
at once fastened upon a col
ored individual
named John McRae. John
, however, as if
taking it for granted that he would be
looked for at once, took his departure and
a careful search failed to show his wherea
bouts, and all remembrance of the theft
had apparently been forgcjtten. ; It seems
that John Lad concluded that the storm
had blown over and once again he made
his appearance in the city, for on Monday
as officer C. H. Strode was on his way along
the wharf, he espied John and at once ar
rested him. .in
He had disposed of the watch to a third
person, who in turn had pawned it to a
store-keeper on the wharf, where after dili
gent inquiry it was found. McRae was
committed to jail to await a hearing to-day.
Some time after his committal he figured
in the jail delivery, an account of which we
give in this issue. j j
