Our market is now well supplied with early vegetables. S. T. Carrow, Esq., the Ex. U. S. Marshal, arrived in the city yesterday. C. B. Harrison, Esq., has just return ed from a visit to his property in Loui siana. The old Catholic Church, in rear of the Yarborough House, is being torn down. . We were shown egg with a tail to ahead. yesterday a hen's it. Raleigh is . still Like the two. preceding davs, the Police Court could furnish no ite ns yesterday. Major W. II. Bagley refuses to be an independent candidate tor the Mayor alty ot this city. S. F. Phillips, Esq., Solicitor Qsneral of the Department of Justice, left this morning for Washington. yVe are to have no more gas-light on the streets, moon or no moon. Such is the dictum ot the august city fathers. Superior Court seals have been sent to the counties ol Graham and Ran dolph. Other seals are being prepared lor the counties of Watauga and Robe son. Hon. W. A. Smith, ol Princeton, Col. S. S. Royster, of Granville, Col. L. W. Humphrey, of Goldsboro, snd Gen. P. B. Hawkins, of Franklin, were in the city yesterday. We invite attention to the advertise ment of W. A. Gattis, Superintendent, in tne srrain ana leea line. I nose in search ot articles in this line would do well to give Mr. Gattis a call. R. M. Douglas, U. S. Marshal for this State, is in the city. He is on his way to Elizabeth City for the purpose oi Qualil'vinff before Judge Brooks. We learn that Mr. Douglas has appointed J. B. Hill, Esq , his principal deputy for the eastern district. Mr. Hill was the chief deputy of S. T. Carrow, the former Marshal, and is thoroughly con versant with the duties of the office. The New Court House. We have more than once called attention to the much needed enlargement of the Court House. Every citizen knows that the building is entirely too small for its present uses. The Court House is the ouly roof under which the citizens oi a . Wake county can claim the right to hold meetincs of public interest. The nuiin room ought to be capable of ac commodating, at least, one thousand people. If it be not practicable t en large" the present room, the whole structure cught to be pulled down in order that we may build greater. When any matter f general interest comes up for consideration, in the court room that enclosure is crowded almost to suffocation. This ought not to be so. Would not be, with free ventilation on three, or on all sides of the room. Wake is a rich and populous county, It can well afford a large and comforta ble County Hall. In fact, it cannot afford to be without one. True it will cost money that must be raised by tax ation. But the people will cheerfully stand the taxes necessary to secure such a building as they need. Let the Com missioners push the enterprise forward. The tax-payers will sustain Ihem. The people want a Court House they can point to, if not with pride, at least, without feelings of humiliation. Wilson Itkms. A correspondent, writing under date ot the 14th inst., sends us the following items from flourishing town : this Measles are prevalent. Nearly every family in the town is afflicted. Two deaths occurred here on Satur day, Charlie, son of W. J. Bullock, and Charlie, son of T. D. Gray. Weather is beautiful, and larming operations are considerably advanced. Subscriptions to the capital stock ol the Wilson and Tar River Railroad amount to about $60,000. St. Mary's. The scholars at this excellent female school had a most de lightful entertainment Monday after noon, which was immensely enjoyed oy all whose good fortune it wus to be present. The array ol beauty and loveliness was only equalled by the accomplish ments and lady-like demeanor ol the pupils. The occasion will lorm a urignt epocn . i in thechool life of the participants, to which memory will olt rtvert with pleasant reminiscences. An Important Opinion in Rfeeb- SNCB TO THE TAXATION UPON INSUR ANCE Companies. We hare been fur nished for publication the following opinion of the Attorney General of the State, which will be found of interest: Teeasurt Department. State of North Carolina, Raleigh, April 10th, 1873. Hon. T. L. Hargrove, Attorney General ; Sir: The General Agents of some Insurance Companies have made returns to this office, of premiums for the quar ter ending March 31st, 1873, ana ten dered a tax of one percent. I declined to accept the tax, under your veibal opinion, and demanded the tax ot two per cent, for said quarter, which they refused to pay. I submit the matter to you and ask to be advised aa to the course to be pursued. Very respectfully, D. A. Jenkins, State Treasurer. Attorney General's Office, Raleigh, N. C, 12th April, 1873. Hon. D. A. Jenkins, State Treasurer ; Put : Yours of the 10th instant has been received. You state that "General Agents of some Insurance Companies have made returns to this omce, ot pre- miums for the quarter ending 31st of March, 1873, and tendered a tax of one I per cent.," and that you ' declined to acpi tuc Ida uuuci juui uijf vctua i opinion, and demanded the tax oi two I per cent, for said quarter, which tbey reiused to pay." You now desire my opinion in wn- ting, and in reply, I have to say, that the present Revenue Act, ratified the 3rd March, 1873, by section 25, sched ule B., enacts, that, "every insurance or assurance company not incorporated in this State, doing business therein, shall pay an annual tax of two per centum to the Treasurer of the State, upon the gross receipts derived from the prem iums charged for insurance obtained therein, UBless the company shall ex hibit to the Governor, Auditor and Treasurer, a sworn statement of invest ments in real property situated in this State or loans secured by mortgage to Citizens ot this btate, of an amount equal to one-uau oi sucn gross receipts, I . I .If - . - I when the tax shall be one per centum, said tax to be paid quarterly, viz : on the first day of April, July, October and January ol each year. Each General Agent shall be required on the above named days to make a statement to the Treasurer, under oath, that the amount by him returned is a full and correct statement ot such quarter." This, it seems to me, evidently requires the General Agents of such companies to make returns on the hrst day ol April, of this year, 1873, ot the profits from the first day of Janu ary to the hrst day of April of said year; that is for the first quarter, and to pay on such profits a tax of two per centum, subject to the above recited ex ceptions, iu case of investments or mort gages in the State. But it is insisted that the General Assembly bad- no power to tax profits from the beginning of the quarter, the first day ot January, 1873, up to the 3rd of March, the date of the ratifica tion of the Act, and that these com panies ought to pay under the former law up to the ord ot March, and after that date under the present law. It the former law had remained in force they would not have been allowed to list or pay their tax before the first of April, and no tax would have been due belore the end of the quarter. But on the third of March, the former law was repealed, except, as to taxes due previously to the ratifica tion of the Act. So, they cannot, after its repeal, pay or list under that law, at all. Now, it being their duty to list, and pay under tne present law, are they legallv bound to pay on their profits, from the beginning of the quarter, or from the 3rd of March, the date of the passage of the Act? And, had the Legislature the power to increase the tax (on such profits) for the quarter current at che time the Act was passed ? In my opinion, the legislature clearly had the power to increase the tax, dur- log and for the quarter current at the time the law was enacted, and having done so, these companies must pay from the beginning of the quarter, that is from the first of January 1873, the tax as required n the present law. It may be insisted that this is taxing past profit. But, profits cannot be as certained daily or weekly, and generally not monthly : that is not the usual course of business. The law now requires, and has for several years required, profits to be as certained and returned quarterly, by insurance companies. The tax is on present and accruing profits not yet ascertained. The Legislature requires it to be an annual tax, and directed on what days, the first ot April, July, October and January, and how, by the oath of the Agents, the profits are to be ascertain ed for the past quarter. It is scarcely probable that Insurance Companies keep books "so as to have a balance sheet struck of profit or loss de die in m diem," or irom week to week or month to month. In support of these views. I beg re spectfully to refeto the case ot Mur chison and others vs. McNeiil. decided by our bupreme Court and reported in Winstons Law, page 220 et sea, Under the Revenue Act passed in 1854, the profits of money, stocks and trades, for twelve months preceding the first day of April 1855, were taxed, and it does not appear that any objection was, at that time, made to this mode of taxation, and it is not without pre cedent in our State legislation. My conclusion then is. that the Act in question is constitutional and valid. and that the Legislature had the power to increase the tax in the manner that, in my judgment, it was a wise and saluta ry exercise ot power. You further uask to be advised as to the course to be' pursued" since they have "refused to pay" the two per cent. The same section, 25, provides that on failure to comply with the require ments of the law, "every such company shall pay as a tax two thousand dollars, and the principal Agent shall be liable therefor," &c- Section 82 also imposes other penal ties on persons failing to comply with the provisions of the Revenue Act, to which I deem it sufficient merely to call your attention. I think these penalties ought to be enforced in cases of disregard of the law. There can be no reason why Insu rance Companies "not incorporated in the State doing business therein," should have a greater immunity from taxation than the property holders and the polls of the State ; more especially when it is considered that Mica companies nave drained our community of vast sums of money for several years past, and are continuing the same at the present time. Very respectfully, Your ob't serv't, T. L. HARGROVE, Attorney General. Successfully Finished. The re moval of the old Rayner house, or Bap tist College building, which has been iu progress for some two or three months past under the management of Mr. O. R. Smith, has been completed most suc cessfully, doing great credit to the en ergy and skill ot the contractor. The building, one ot the largest in the city, was located immediately in what was desired to be an extension of Blount street, in the northern portion of the t-nj, suu ik uau IU UC.UiUVCU A UIBISUCC ot near nve hundred teet and to be halt turned in its progress in order to face the street that would pass over its form er site. It was built ot wood and weighed some seven hundred and fifty tons, but this immense structure Mr. Smith placed upon a large number of wheels, with iron rail tracks to move upon, and with the labor ot only six men the building was moved to its new position without being in the least damaged. This is the most successful feat of the kind ever performed in this section. With the new wings which have al ready been added to the main building, the Baptist College of this city will be second to none other similar building in the State, and Raleigh can now feel a pride in her three female colleges.

His energy, steady habits and uniform courtesy soon secured him profitable employment, and at the time Qf his demise his prospects were flatter ing.

Supreme Conrt Decision. Washington, Aprii;i5. -The United States Supreme Court to-day announced the following opinion in the case ot Lopyere vs. the United States on an ap peal from the decision of the Court of Claims. The Court of Claims in this case gave judgment against the appel lant on a claim for cotton, delivered to the agents of the Government under act of giving permission to persona sympathizing with the rebellion to sell their cotton. providing they would give oie-fourth thereof to the United States. The cot ton was turned over to the Government on the 25th of July. On the. 24th the President had issued a proclamation removing restrictions on trade in the district where the cotton was delivered, (the Red River district,) and the procla mation was on that day filed In tne State Department, but it was not pro mulgated through the public press until the 26th. The Court of Claims held that it was not valid until published, and that it was not published until promulgated as stated. This Court reverses that judgment, with direc tions to the Court of Claims to enter a judgment lor the appellant, holding that tne only way . to guard against the mischiefs arising from the uncertainty of parol proof as to the time of publica tion, is to apply the same legal presump tion to proclamations that is applied to statutes, lhat is, that they bad a valid operation at the beginning of the day ot their date, and in the absence oi fraud, to permit no injury on the sub ject. Mr. Justice bwayne delivered tne opinion. Mr. Justice Bradley dissented. THE WAR IN LOUISIANA. Bloody Work in Grant Parish A i Large Number Killed, etc. New Oklbans, April a 15.

One hundred and ntty men gathered from the surrounding parishes and made an attack on Sunday at noou. The Court house was stormed at three o'clock. The negroes reluged in the Court House. Alter furthwr fighting the negroes dis played a nag of truce. Several detach ments moved on the Court House, when the negroes opened fire. Capt. Hardnell was shot la the bowels, and it is feared fatally. They retired outside of the bressworks. As the only means of dislodging the negroes, the court house was fired, and the negroes were shot as they came from the burning building. It is reported that eighty to one hundred negroes were killed, and there were none to be found tor miles around. Rough Adus and his white allies escaped.
