ORDINANCES ON THIRD BEADING. ;n
Ordinance from theJndicial Com-;
mittee to amend sec. 3, art. 4, provid
ing tb3t the "judicial power' of the
late shall be vested in a Court for
the trial of impeachments, a Supreme
Conrtj Superior Courts, Courts of
Justices of the Peace, and such
ther Courts inferior to the Supreme
Court as may be established by law,
was considered ; r 1 ,
Mr. French, Rep.; moved to amend
by inserting'crimiual', before Courts.
Mr. Bennett, Dem., from the Jndi
ciary Committee in reply to a qaes-
t ion" of Mr. Badger, "said the bill as it
came from the Committee would au
thorize or allow the re-establishment
by the Legislature hereafter, when it
may be deemed necessary, of the old
Courts of Pleas and Quarter Sessions.
AS es.srs. Buxton, Albertsoii, Bar
riner ami Tourgee opposed the bill
as it came from the committee, but
''.lid not favor the amendment of Mr.
French. ' VYVf ' ;:r;.. t"-
Mr. 9 Buxton thought the County
Court system had proved a nuisance
and tlut it was so considered by the
pfopie if thf State. . V
Mr. T..urgee wanted the bill to de
fine in positive terms what Courts
may be established hereafter, and
tiierelor.- moved its- recommittal to
the 1 couiWditee "Iri order that: it may
b made more powili v :-111. its chal'ac
t rJ' There were gentlemen on ; his
i-ie of the housthatVanted amend
meiits of tiiis character, and wanted
to vote for the measure. ' ' '.. " 1 v
Mr. Coleman, Denit, - opiosed the
reuoiouiittal of the bill. The gentle
mieu' who opposed the bill acknowl
elWd ihatthev dill not know exactly
what change tney wanted, and hence
hp ifi7t.7irfit tKtfwh'olH ouestlou should
be'uUeed in the hands of the Lcgisla
lure, in order that that Ibody may act
in the future on this matter as the
necessities of the hour ; may demand.
The General Assembly, had time to
"consider this question,? and ihe time
of this Convention veas limited.
Mr. Badger said the people of thw
portion of the State could not li ve un
der the present court system,, as in
counties the size of Wake eight weeks
of court could not relieve the criminal
docket, the civil docket being left un
touched, j and he favored the bill
coming from the committee, leaving
the question with the future General
Assembly. 1 1
Mr. Barringer moved to amend, by
vol. xvi. no: 156. .
inserting the words " arbitration and
award after the words --'Superior
Courts," in order that the Dublio mind
may be relieved of any idea of the re
establishment of the ; old County.
Mr. Manix favored the idea of this
Convention dclinin? what courts shall
be established,; and not leaving the
matter open. to tbe legislation of any
future body which might allow parti
san feeling" to control its actions.
Mr. Coleman again defended the
proposition as it came from the Com
mittee. , - - -
Mr. 'Withers of Caswell. Dem.'.
said we were told by gentlemen rep
resenting every portion of the State,
that the old County Courts were odi
ous to the people; if such be the fact,
is there any reason to f,ear that the
Legislatureywill ever attempt to re
establish a system which the people
do not desire and- are opposed j to.
But let us adopt this amendment, and
the people through their representa
tives in the Legislature, after proper
consideration, will adopt such a sys-
teoi.as our necessities may require, it
any. y H'l j: -
Mr. FairclothV Hep., said it was the
uncertainty of the Courts to be estab
lished, as the bill would indicate, that
he objected to, and he tbough-t would
also prove objectionable to the peo
ple. The fact that the whole ques
tion was, left- subject to auuual
changes at tbe hands of the Legisla
ture was of itself objectionable, and
ne thought it best that the whole mat
ter be defined, and decided here. He
knew of ho disposition with those
who. co operated with L him to offer
any factious opposition to the meas
ure, aa every one was compelled to
acknowledge the necessity of some
improvement In the present system
of our Coorts.
Mr. Turner opposed the amend
meuts proposed, and favored leaving
the question of the establishment of
inferior Courts o the General As
sembly. : , : . ' ' i- . .:-
Smyth, col., opposed any change of
the present law controlling this mat
ter. --
The amendment of Mr. Barringer
was lost, aa also- the amendment of
Mr. French; by a vote of 20 to 54.
. The amendment of Mr. Manix,
Rep., providing that what were for
merly known as ihe Courts of Quar
ter Session, or Courts of similar char
acter, as-to manner, of construction
or jurisdiction, shall not be estab
lished, was lost by a vote ot 3o to 41.
Tbe amendment of Mr. - Manning,
of New Hanover, Rpp., requiring the
election of the officers of inferior
Conrts by tbe people of their re
spective districts, was lost by a vote
of 29 to 46.
The main question, as reported
from the Committee, then passed its
third and last reading by a vote of
43 ayes, 25 nays, 42. members being
paired off, although some of t hem
were-present in the hall. " ' "

as follows: , r r - j ! 1
It appears5 that ia accordance with acon

when it was found that Messrs. Lippitt &

by the terms of the contract,' be payable

he did not so understand the contract, and
claimed that the tickets called only for ice

A man was going to take" a .fiver steamer
the other day. He bad made his purchases
it ihe city aud had them in a bag on his
shoulder,' and now he was all ready to go
home. lie was r in a hurry to get to the
steamer, for the'first signal of departure had
already warned him that there was no jtime
to lose; so he grasped his' bag of "invest
ments firmly by the neck and breaking
into a lively rUn down" Market street, was
making excellent time in the direction or
tbe wharf, when, in a luckless moment, he
was espied by one of our guardians of the
peace oo duty about the . market house.
With one glance at .the suspicious-looking
bag carried by the stranger and one thought
bestowed upou bis suspiciously rapid pace,
it flashed through the mind of tbe police
man that this man had been upon a plun
dering expedition and was In ; the act of
escaping with his booty. Instantly then
he gave chase. The race was an exciting
one. Therrstranget ran well, with ; the
visions' of" home before him to urge
him on, but he carrietl' too J much weight,
and the agile policeman finally overhauled
him, and, spite of protestations and entreat-.
ies, dragged the victim of cruel mistake off
to the Guard" House " Arrived at that de-
ectable retreat, the stranger quickly proved
his good character and honest antecedents,
was released, and .hastened- back to the
river, only to find that his steamer had
some time , been plowing her,way up the
blue Cape Fear. It was a hard case, but it
seems rather difficult to fix the blame upon
anybody without doing an injustice equally
as great as that done him. .

. It will be seen that each' tax' exceeds the
amount of 60 cents on the $100 valuation,
which is claimed by the injunctors to be
the vtmost limit, 1 and the" tax of 1871 was
28- cents greater on tbe$10Q valuation than
the present tax. - f.- ri-. u- j : '

- Owing to the stringency of the times the
receipts from Schedule B have fallen off at
least (4.000 per annum. ; ; i r
By the assessment of the present year the
valuation of : property- was 'reduced about
$700,000, which made a material reduction
in the city and State and county taxes,' and
the county was compelled to raise the per
centage to secure the same amount of tax.
Tbe whole County and State tax assessed
in Wilmington the present year is less than
tbe lax of 1874, on account of the reduc

proportion and excellent finish, are all that could be
desired, and more than .meets my expectations. I
am more than ever impressed with the idea that it is
as necessary for a man to have a gun. built to meas
urement as to have a boot so built to ensure a good
fit. The pattern 175 and penetration 40 are Very su
perior 1 The pattern is as close as I desire and the
penetration' I think Is seldom attained, being far
