Solvent Credits not to be Taxed.
-The following opinion in ihe case of
Pullen vs. the City ol Raleigh, deliv
ered by Judge Pearson in the Supreme
Court yesterday, decides that-money
credits, investments in bonds, stocks,
&c, the property mentioned in the first
clause of Section 3, Article 5 of the Con
stitution of the State, is not taxable by
municipal corporations. The following
is the opinion :
"lhe power of the city authorities to
tax debts and securities tor money held
by the citizens, depends upon the
charter.
That instrument enumerates nomina
tim the subjects or' taxation eight in
number, beginning with real estate
situated in the city, ending with en
croachments on the streets by porches,
&c. But no one ol these eight specifi
cations uses any word which, by the
utmost stress of construction, can be
made to embrace debts and securities
for money.'
The word 'property,' aliout which so
much was said in the argument, is not
used in that enumeratios ol the subjects
ot taxation. In regard to that word,
by the-by, we see that the Constitution
does not make it include 'money credits,
investments ia bonds,' &c. 4 Real and
personal property' is used in a sense to
exclude such ' credits and investments,'
Art. 5, Section 3.
We concur with his Honor for the
reasons given by him. Judgment
affirmed."
Beautiful Cotton. We have been
khown by Mr. Ricks M. Pearce a sam
ple of the Pearce Cotton, grown on the
farm ol John J. Pearce, Esq., at
Ililliardston, in Nash county, and have
no hesitation in saying it is the most
beautiful specimen ol cotton we have
ever seen grown in the btale. it is
snow-white, of the long staple species,
and would doubtless command a price
much above that ol low middling in
the New York market. Mr. John J.
Pearce hns some of these seed tor sale,
and has deposited with Mr. George T.
btronach & B:o., ol this city, a speci
men of the cettou and beed lor inspec
tion. See his advertisement elsewhere.

The State docket was tuken up by
8o Bettor 'GaldwttHhithe afternoon, and
several cases disposeti of before night.
The dokeV fenmbeiA 43 cases, three
fourths of which are for bastardy, the
others being minor 'offences, ' with the
execption-of ne case of murder, which
19 somelliing'; unusual jn this welt

however, one of little interest, and it is
liiot believed that the State will be able
to convict. A woman is charged with

The summons docket numbera six

The weather is intensely cold here, so
much so that we , are almost unable to
leave the fire place in our room,: and as
Newrfoa comes under one of the "pro
hibition" laws ot the Legislature, fire is
the only means ol keeping ye local
warm. In consequence thereof we'shali
proceed by the next train to Guilford
Court, where we have a right to expect
a warmer reception.
The good people of Catawba, we are
proud to say, openly endorse the course
ol the News, and ecem anxious of an
opportunity to express their gratifica
tion by liberally subscribing tor it. We
are hurried by the near approach of the
mail hour, and will therefore close till
to-morrow.
Items From Our Oxford Corres
pondent. Our Oxford correspondent,
uuder date of yesterday, gives us the
following items:
Mrs. Horace L. Robards has been ap
pointed matron of the orphans at St.
John's Orphan Asylum.
Mrs. Robards is well known to the
people of Granville as a highly accoiu
plisbed lady, and it is thought she com
bines in an eminent degree the requi
site qualifications for discharging the
duties devolving upon her in the new
position she has assumed. She has
commenced her labors with ardent zeal
and with the determination to excel.
Her late husband, Colonel Robert. L.
Robards, was many years ago a leading
citizen ot' Oxford, aud was conspicuous
for his enlarged hospitality.
The people of this vicinity hail with
delight the information of the passage
of the bill authorizing the commission
ers of Granville to issue bonds fo rail
road purposes. They think this looks
like business, and foreshadows that we
are soon to have a railroad to Oxford.
At the lust meeting of the Oxford
Reading Club Mr. A. S. Peace wus
chosen President.
Messrs. R. L. & D. A. Hunt have dis
solved co-partnership and Mr. D. A.
Hunt has connected himself with the
house of H. C. & W. G, Herndon as a
member ot the firm. '
Mr. William II. Hicks paid a flying
visit to Oxford a few days ago. lie
has been for some time past an official
on the Raleigh & Gaston Rail
road, and has recently received the
more lucrative appointment of Secre
tary of the N. 0. State Insurance Com
pany. . - " - -
OI Verb ish My Bkaver ? A
"member." from the West, upon reach
ing home, writes us the following :
O ! vere ish my beaver hat now gone to?
If you vaite I will told it to you now ;
Last night as I koom up on dat Railroad
I lost niin, and I cannot told you how.
As will be observed by the above
touching lines a paraphrase ol ''seven
oud" a member (from the West) lost
his bat, and lor fear that an alarming
item may get into the papers, especial
ly alter the passage ot the "Amnesty
Act," we desire to inform you and the
many friends ot the gentleman, that if a
hat should be found on the Railroad
track near Morrisville, with the in
scription on the inside "T. D. J. of B.,"
they need have no fears cf accident to
the popular Representative, as we saw
him get off the train at H. to repair
his los3 in head gear, and spend a day
or two in making "calls."
Sentence Affirmed. Yesterday
the Supreme Couit rendered a decision
in the case of State xs. Simpson Morde
cai and Thomas Griffis, affirming the
judgment of Hie Court below. These
men, it will be re.snembered, were con
victed at the last term Of the Wake
County superior Court of burglary, and
were sentenced to be hanged on the
28th of February. These are the men
who broke into the store-house of Mr.
W. H. Hick?-, near this city, and so se
verely beat him. At the next term of
the Court the condemned will be re
sentenced. As Appeal to tiis Medical Pro
fession. We publish in another column
an earnest appeal to the medical mcAot
the State, from a commit tee of the State
Medical Society, to attend the i.ext a;
nual meeting of this Society, which will
be held at Statesville on the third Tiles
day in May next. -We
are requested to call the attention
of the press of the city and the State to
this address, and to request its publica
tion in the interest of the medical pro
fession of the State. . i
Sheriff N. R. Jones, of Warren, put
in an appearance in this city yesterday
afternoon.' "
. . Citizens' Meeting. As has been
heretofore announced ; there, will be a
meeting ot .the citizens of Raleigh to
morrow; "evening, at. Metropolitan Hall,
in reference tottJe proposed Fair of the
State Agricultural Society. in this city
next Octobeft .We earnestly hope that
there will be-a. large, turn. out on this
occasion, as upon," the action of the
meeting - will depend ithe feasibility of
carrying out thle plansof the Committee
in reference to' the arrangement of the
new Grounds and, in fact, the . very
existence of the Fair in this city. ; Ap
peal after appeal has been made to the
citizens of this place to come 'forward
and make Raleigh contribute a credita
ble' proportion towards making the
State Fair worthy of both the Capital
and State. Raleigh is mostly benefitted
by these annual Fairs and, therelore,it
behooves her substantial citizens to put
forth strenuous exertions to make them
all they should be. If we are to have a
decent Fair in October, now is the time
to act. If we arir to have the State
Fairs continued ia this city, we must
now give an earnest of our intention of
giving them in future a much better
support than in the past by making
suitable arrangements to? sustain the
Executive Committee in the efforts they
are now putting forth to make these
exhibitions creditable alike to the enter
prise and resources ol our State. Again
we urge a lull attendance upon this
meeting in order that therb may. be a
full and free expression of opinion as to
the plans proposed, and that prompt
and decisive action may be taken.

Montgomery Bishop, charged with
having committed murder near Spran
tansburg, S. C. Bishop wa3 arrested in

On yesterday morning the resigna

Should be Returned. The State
Librarian yesterday received a letter
from Mr. W. B. Hyde, of Kenosha,
Wisconsin, staling that an acquaint
ance of his living near that place had
shown him the original draft of the first
Constitution ol this State, which he
(the acquaintance) had taken irom the
State Library : some time during the
war. Mr. Hyde offers to secure the re
turn of the document should our au
thorities deem it of safficient impor
tance. By all means the manuscript

Bank of England Fraud.
LoNDoN,March 5 The circumstances
of the fraud on the Bank ot England
remains a mystery. Noyes, the clerk or
confederate .of the forger, now, under
arrest, is a native ol the United States.
He protests" his innocence, but doubtless
jnows more than he is willing to tell at
present. Astonishment is expressed
that the extent of the transaction did
not arouse the suspicions , of the bank
officials, but it seems that, the operators
represented that thev were'inteiested in
the introduction oi American Palace
cars on British railways, and." were ar-
rangingjor their manufacture cn a scale
which required the employment of a
lanje amount of funds.

There is much speculation relative to
the Cabinet, loundcd n the mere report
that, recently the members of it have
formally tendered their, resignations,
thus necessitating new nominations to
the Senate. The question about the
Cabinet was, however, settled last fall
soon ajter tue rc-eiection 01 rresiuenc
Grant. At a Cabinet meeting all the
members, being present, they informed
him that wishing to do nothing what
ever to embarrass him in his administra
tion, they would tender their resigna
tions, to take effect on the fourth of
March ensuing.
The President expressed his thanks
lor their menaiy leenngs, anu iniormen
them he had no desire lor any one of
them to withdraw from their present
position, but preferred they should all
rtmam. .running nas since occuirea to
change the position of affairs as it ex
isted at that time. Th only immediate
change will be in the Secretaryship oi
the Treaiurv should the presentjneum ;
bent be elected to the Senate of the
United States. The opinion that the
President need not renominate the pres
ent members of the Cabinet lor contor
tion by the Senate is strenghtened by
the face that all of them were at their
respective departments to-day attend
ing to their official dutiw, and it 13 said
by gentlemen in Executive positions
that no such renomnation-i will be made.
