When the bill tn rnnarvllrla to ttiA
North Carolina Narrow Guage Railroad
with the" Chester & Lenoir Narrow
Guage Railroad of S. C, came up Mr.
xxouston maae the tcllowing remarks :
Inasmuch as this bill has not been
before a Committee of the House," it
having passed the Senate, and as it was
matter, 01 considerable interest, not
aly to my constituents, but to spvprai
counties in South Carolina, as well as in
mis atate.M desire to submit this brief
statement of its provisions, viz : - .
It authorizes the Caroli
Gauge Railroad Company, upon consent
oi me stockholders ot paid company,
to consolidate with the Chester and Le
noir. Narrow Gauge Railroad Company,
oi Douin uarolina. as well as with any
other narrow gauge railroad company
that may be chartered by that State, to
build a railroad from Chester to the
North Carolina line.
2nd. The question of consolidation
shall be submitted to the stockholders
of the Carolina Narrow Guage Railroad
Company, within six months from the
passage of this act.
drd, I he consolidated company may
assume such corporate, name as the
stockholders of the two companies may
gree upon.
There ii nothing, that I know of at
all objectionable in this bill ; its object
being the creation of railroad facilities
for a verv productive portion of the
the State. I trust it will be allowed to
pass to its several readings to-day.

The Daily
RALEIGH. iT. C.
r. s. pullen and others vs. board
of City Commissioners of Raleigh.
This case was heard before Judge
Watts, at Chambers, on Saturdayjast.
Messrs. Moore & Galling appeared for
plaintiffs' and Messrs. J. C. L. Harris
and T. M. Argo for the defendants.
The following is the Judge's decision :
Battle & Sons, Moore & Gatling, for
plaintiffs; J. C. L. Harris, City Attor
ney, and T. M. Argo, for City of Ral
eigh. This case having been submitted by
the parties upon the facts agreed with
out action, aud having heard the argu
ments of couusel for, plaintiffs and de.
fendants, I decide as follows :
The city of Raleigh being a muni
cipal corporation organized and acting
under a charter grauted by the State,
which is made part of the case agreed,
claims the right under section 9. art.
VII, of the State Constitution and its
charter above referred to, to levy a tax,
upon all solvent credits and securities
held by persons residing ia said city.
The plaintiffs contend that the city
authorities have no such power but can
only tax property in the now limited
sense, excluding from the meaning of
the word property the ehosea in action
and securities spoken of above.
The case does not contain the affida
vits required by sec. 315, C. C. P., to
show that the controversy is real and
the proceedings in'good faith to deter
mine the right of the parties, and is
otherwise imperfectly stated. But as
the controversy is no doubt real and in
volves questions of importance and in
terest to the parties, I will proceed to
decide it according to my view of the
law.
The case is : The plantiffs are citizens
and residents within the corporate
limits of the city of Raleigh, over whom
and their property the authorities cf
said city have legal power and authority
under the constitution and laws of the
State. These parties own certain sol
vent credits and securities upon which
the city authorities have assessed a tax
lor city purposes. The amount and
kind of this property and tax assessed
are not stated. The question is there
fore presented, have the authorities ot
the city a right to levy a tax for city pur
poses upon the solvent credits and se
curities owned bv . the plantiffs and
others and like conditions. Sec. 9,Art. 7,
of the constitution provides that "all
taxes levied by any county, citv, town
or township shall be uniform and ad-
valorem uponc all property in the same
except property exempt by this consti
tution." It is contended for the defen
dants that this is a constitutional pro
vision for the taxation of all property
by the city authorities and providing
further tho way in which this tax shall,
be levied. For the plaiutiffs it is con
tended the word property here used
must be taken in its restricted sense and
was not intended to embrace choses in
action and securities of : the kind men
tioned or intended herein.
My opinion is, that this section was
intended to declare timply the manner
in which municipal corporations should
levy texes, to wit: that they should be
"uniform and advalorera," and not to
declare the subjects to be taxed by them.
This was to be done by other parts of
the Constitution where the general sub
ject of taxation was treated of and pro
vided for, and by general laws passed
under the Constitution by the Legisla
ture on this subject. And by Sec. 4
Art. 8, general power is given to the
Legislature to provide for the organiza
tion of cities, towns, etc., and to restrict
their power of taxation, etc. This seems
to give general control to the Legisla
ture on the subject of municipal corpo
rations, and the Legislature may under
it restrict the power of taxation by these
corporations as it may think proper,
due regard being had to other parts of
the Constitution. Mv pinion, there
fore, is, that the right of the defendants
to levy this tax does not depend on, and
is not controlled by the said 9th Section
of 7th Article of the Constitution, but
must depend on the Charter, granted by
the Legislature to this corporation, or
the general law of the State in relation
to towns, etc. Upon the examination
of the Charter and this general law, I
am of the opinion that no sugIi power
as that now claimed by the defendants
is granted by either. :
My decision therefore is that the
plaintiffs have iudgrnent. that the de
hfendants nave no right to tax solvent
credits and securities, and that such tax
is illegal, S. W. Watts, J. S. C.

The strangest of all an educational spree :
To hate war and love peace prime object

With first the three R's that all must be

On the warpath of letters must we fain
wonder
A Battle's beeun with a Scotch Alexander.
Tho' a rumpus in spelling is fun to be sure.
The want of Instruction 's worse than im

Whether Battle or Bellum we choose to
call it,
'Tis a bad war of words, whatever befall it.
Down South for mastery two Gov'nors

For the car of State which driver shall

OBITUARY.
Died at his residence in Wake county,
January 18th, Charles F. Johns, Esq., after
a long and very painful illness, which he
bore with singular patience and fortitude.
In all the relations of life, as a son, a brother,
a husbaud, a friend and a neighbor, he was
not merely biameless, but exemplary. His
last days were solaced by all that the most
tender affection and assiduous attention
could bestow on the part of those who loved
mm Den, ana whom ne, in his turn, most
prized and cherished. In his last hours, he
united with his kindred and Pastor in
earnest supplication to God. Sunday, his
mortal remains were committed to the
grave in the presence of a large number of
sympathizing Iriends. So teach us to re-
memoer our ways that we may apply our
hearts unto wisdom. J. M. A.

Under a suspension of the rules Mr.
Cunningham called up the bill to amend
chapter 185, laws of 18C8-'C9, in regard
to township. Allows an appeal from
the Board of Township Trustees, to the
County Commissioner's in the matter of
laying out and discontinuing highways.
Mr. Cunningham advocated the pas-
. .1 1 mi t- : j 1
sae or tne dhi, I'nssea us several
readings.
Under a suspension ofxthe rules Mr.
Grandy called up his bill to charter the
North Carolina Construction Company,
stating that.it was secondary to the
charter granted the New York, Noifolk
and Charleston Kamvay Company, and
was necessary to facilitate the construc
tion of the above road.
Mr. Dunham could not support the
bill for several reason s. First he did not
see why such a charter would be neces
sary, when the charter of the railroad
named gave it the power it asked for.
Second it was granting excessive power
to foreign corporations, &c.
Mr. Grandy replied at a considerable
length, asking the opponents of the bill
to show where the power wasjexcessive,
and he would go against it. Also he (Mr.
Dunham) could offer an amcHdment to
cover his objections. He (Mr. Grandy)
could not ?ee where the power was ex-,
cessive, and would support the bill.
Mr. Dunham replied that he was op
posed to the bill in toto. He' did not
wish to occupv the time of the Senate
in discussion of the bill, and would
merely say he was opposed to the bill
upon . principle and for a number of
other leasons. - -
Mr. Murphy replied at considerable
length, siying these important bills
should be discussed. He favored the
bill, and denounced the action of mem
ers in opposing all matters if a foreign
