The Decision of the Supreme
Court in Regard to the Drummer's
License Tax. The following decision
of the Supreme Court ot North Caroli
na was rendered a tew days since : ,
Sinclair et al., vs. State of North Car
olina. We have no hesitation, following the
authority of Ward vs. Maryland, 12
Wallace, 4l8,in declaring the provisions
of the Act, 1868-9 Chapter 103 under,
which the tax was collected unconstitu
tional. The opinion of the Court in this case
referred to is clear and explicit. We will
not repeat the reasons upon which it is
founded, deeming it sufficient to say
that the act in question imposes a tax
which discriminates against traders who
are pon residents, and in doing so vio
lates the Constitution of the United
States, which -ordains, Article 4, Sec
tion 2, v'the citizens ot each State
shall be entitled to all the privileges
and immunities ot citizens in the several
States."
And, further, it would seem to beau
infraction of Art. 1, Sec. 8, which or
dains that, "Congress shall have power
to regulate commerce among the several
States."
We have thought proper to say this
muchjupon the question of law raised
by the pleadings, but we are inclintd to
regard the - present application as an
abuse of the jurisdiction conferred upon
the Cburt by pur State Constitution,
which ordains Art. IV. Sec. 11, that
"the Supreme Court shall have original
jurisdiction to hear claims against the
State, but its decisions.shall be merely
recommendatory ; no process in the na
ture of execution shall issue thereon ;"
they shall be reported to the next ses
sion of the General Assembly for its ac
tion." As our decisions are merely recom
mendatory, and are to be reported to the
General Assembly, which is the only
branch ot the Goverameht that can af
ford relief, it is fair to presume that that
body would give due consideration to
the decision of the Supreme Court of
the Un jted States.
Then why invoke our decision upon
a point pf law which has so receutly
been decided by the highest judicial
authority in the land.
As a general rule taxes paid without
a protest will not be refunded.
The Crops in the Eastern Coun
ties. We have spent the last few days
in the counties along the line of the
Wilmington & Weldon Road, between
Goldsboro and Weldon, in some of the
Roanoke counties and on the line of the
Raleigh & Gaston Road, and we were
pleased to find the crops generally in a
good condition, considering the disad
vantages the farmers have had to labor
under during the Spring. In Halifax
county the cotton crop is generally out
of grass and looks well. With no des-
tiuctive seasons in the future, the crop
will be a good average. The corn crop the child was found asleep under a kitch-
is loosing wen, though in some sections en near by its home.
oi the county the average area
has not been planted. Both the
cotton and corn crops in Northampton
county are in good condition, the cots
ton being fully up to the average ap
pearance at this season, while the area
Child Lost. A little son of Mr.
Samuel Fall, of this city, yesterday after
noon, about 5 o'clock, wandered from
the home of his father, and tip to this
hcur (10 P. M.s) has not bfen heard
from. The parents are vety much
alarmed, and, with the assistance of the
police, instituted a vigorous search all
through the city, but bo far without suc
cess. The little boy is named Willie,
and has black eyes and black hair. He
speaks with an English accent as he is
of English parents.
P. S. bince the above was written
grounds, submerged by the late severe
freshet, give much better promise than
it was thought could follow the over
flow, the freshet fortunately being early
in the season. Although we heard
complaints from some farmers, we must
conclude from all the information we
could gather that the prospect through
out that section is most hopeful.
Along the line of the Raleish and
Gaston Road we noticed many cotton
and corn helds heavily in grass, though
the crops generally looked fair.
Marriage. We copy the subjoined
article from the Richmond Dispatch of
Wednesday. Miss Davis is a niece of J.

Fashionable Marriage. Miss Belle
Davis, of this city, a daughter of one of
oui leading milliners and a lady of great
beauty and personal graces, was mar
ried last night at the Broad-street Meth
odist church by the Rev. Dr. Edwards,
assisted by Dr. Granberry, to Mr Hud
son, of New York, a leading florist of
that city. The church was crowded to
its utmost capacity by persons of both
sexes to witness the ceremony. The
bride was handsomely and elegantly
attired, and looked beautiful. After
So far as we can see, the plaintiffs the ceremony the bride and groom pro-
paid this tax, which, iu Yiew ot the ju- I ceeded to the residence of Mrs. Davis,
risdiction invoked, is so small as to tall 1 where a magnificent reception awaited
within the maxim de minimis nen curat them, after which the happy couple kit

getting a copy of that rare and valua
ble work known as Byrd's History of
the Dividing Line Between Virginia
and North Carolina. The work was
published in 1728, and but few copies
are now extant.
The Newbern Times, in its last issue,
pays a deserved compliment to the ho
tels of this city. In alluding to the Na
tional, it says : -
" The gentlemanly proprietor and
clerks, together with attentive waiters,
clean, airy and quiet rooms, and an
excellent table make this hotel an admi
rable restiug place lor the weary trav-
. ullcr." ' . - .
that the Raleigh and Gaston and the
Rale.itrh and Augusta Air-Line Rait?
roads are contributing to the State Agri
cultural Society the freights on the
lumber over these roads, and as but little
less than a niillion of feet of lumber will
pass over these roads lor tne x air
Grounds, this contribution will amount
to a handsome sum should these roads
continue to be thus liberal. In addition
to this, the Raleigh and Augusta road
is now engaged in running a railroad
track from its main track into the
grounds. These contributions are most
acceptable to the Society in us present
condition, and exhibit a most commen
dable spirit of liberality on the part ol
the managers of these roads, .while the
immense amount of work to be done
will be greatly furthered by such action.
Bills of Indictment. At the recent
term of the U. S. Circuit Court in this
city, which adjourned yesterday, tht
Grand Jury found 47 true bihs. Of this
number'15 were fcr violation ot the In
ternal Revenue law ; 9 for defrauding
the Government in the matter of pen
sions; 8 for embezzlement; 9 for peijury,.
&c; 3 for extortion ; a ior conspiracy.; i
for secreting and detaining a letter.
Sumpter, (S. CY) News :
"We congratulate our Brother Jour
nalist of the old North State, upon his
great good luck, and tender him and
his lovelv bride, our best wishes tor
their future happiness. May they expe
rience all the joys that flesh is heir to,
and enjoy exemption from all of its ill?
and sorrows. If friend Stone makes as
good a husband, as he has made an Ed
itor, we take upon ourselves the respon
sibility ot asserting that Mrs. otone win
not regret the step she has taKen in
marrying a member of the raw boned
and hungry fraternity." '
Louisburg Items. Our Louisburg
correspondent writing under date of
yesterday, sends us the following item
of news from his section :
On Wednesday, the 11th inst., Benja
min Stone, son of Washington Stone,
while returning home from Webb's mill,
near the Nash and Franklin line, with
a steer cart loaded with corn, met with
a singular and fatal accident. He was
going down a steep hill, holding the
reins in one hand and the shaft with
the other, when by some unexplained
means he fell, the wheel passing over his
head in such a manner as to cause death
the next day. :
The New Fair. Grounds. Under
the supervision of the Executive Com
mittee the work goes bravely on, and by
the first day of October North Carolina
will have the mo3t magnificent Fair
Grounds in the South. Every day
brings letters from different parts of the
State showing that our people are fully
alive to their interest and are deterT
mined not to be out-done this Fall. Let
each farmer feel it his indispensable du
ty to bring something the coming Fair.
