B. 104, requiring sheriffs, registers of deeds, and clerks of superior courts to make at the end of each year sworn statements ot the iefs received or due them, such statements to be ui' a in me omae or tne reg ister of deedsand posted at the court house door. Mr. Mebane spoke to tne bill saying it was the only mean6 oi ascertaiog the amount of the fees received by these officers, that they may be regulated. It turns on light in the matter. Mr. Norment objected to the bill, as it lmnosed ad diiioual burdens upon clerks of courts, who are now required to enler their fees in a book, wHich may at all times be inspected. Mr. Bernard favored the bill which then passed. II. B. 127, to relieve merchants and tradesmen in cases where, since Jan. 1st, 1879, they have paid privilege tax, was tabled. H.

A motion was made to table it, which prevailed. At 2 p. m. the House adjourned. Pope Ieo Kncjlical Against Democracy. Springfield Republican. Pope Leo XIII not merely denoun ces infidel socialism, but he launches the whole force of his argument point blank against Umocracy, against every priuciple in which the republic ol the Lnited States is rooted, fiora which the Republic of France strives to grow, and which is cherished by the vital force of the people in every European State. What is this "desire which man nat urally has of elevating himself ?" Is it not the God-implanted principle that has made any part of the world worth living in, and that alone can make Yet this is under the ban of the church What is thiS conviction now spreading through all enhghtend Christian lauds, that a people should make their laws? Laws Has it not a direct warrant from the preaching of Jesus ? And what justifies pope or emperor in judging the struggle against intolerable despotism witn such un scrupulous and indiscriminate con demnation ?" Can he pretend to know what any oi theso words he utters so glibly m:ans? Russian nihilism is not to be measured w ith the same meas- uie as Parisian communism. It must be recognizjd that the pope has made a grand declaration against the rights of man. His very arguments in the passage we have cited in full were worn out in the service ot negro slavery in this country and sound no tably stale iu our cleared air. Leo XIII has uttered the decree of the pa pacy against human nature. He has aoDealed to the past: but it. is the fu ture that is to answer. a Blessed Weniory. Lei olr T oplc. James Harper, born May 14, 1799, died at Fairfield, near Lenoir, whicu fcr more than a half a century had been his home, on Sunday, January 26, 1879 havio.' almost reached the age of eighty years. His was a long, laborious, successful and honorable business life, on Christ ian , principles. He never thrust his religi m ou any man's notici, but acted so tuat ail bare record of it, aod well may our young men consider if they shall emulate the fame of those 4 gieat men" whose names figure in his tories of battles and debates, or if tiiey shall not rather aspire to follow the example of this pure and .God-fearing gentleman, try to lead a life like his, anc bke him leave behind them a mem ory of au untarnished name.

The Other Ox Uoreri. Springfield Republican. The New York Tribune realizes that it is now the turn of the other ox, and its Wa&hingtoa special apologises and pleads for the habit of using ciphers in a rather pi if u I way. "It is not a sua ' 'picioos circumstance to find telegrams "in cipher passing between piominent "lepubl .cau politicians in 1876, nor is it "any more reraa- kable that they should "feel an aversion to having unfi i-'tidly "person s hau i )g over aud reading such "dispatches than that they should ob "ject to a similar examination of their "private or political letters." In fact, the use of "liouost and honorable mean-" iu the republican canvass seems part cular to be vindicated. Ed itorially the lnbuue veiy naturally thinks that the political dickering ol a i)OStma-tt r-geiieral of the Uuit .'d States, afoieign minister of the United States, and the secretary of tho interi or of the United & ates is as fonign to this investigation as the Coloiado battle to Colbum'stfintbruetic.

Boston Herald. At the bidding of his oasi noo he hsis sU'Dot'd uown from a seat but little lwer than a throne. The most ardent R publicau must feel respect ful pitr tor the old soldier whose three score and ten well-counted years cover, as he himself recalled in his let ter ot resignation, lifty-three yeard de voted to his country. From bis youth up, from the day ou which, a lad of seventeen, he began his military career at the School of,St. Cyr, he has spent :he strength ot his life in the service oi France. He won laurels with both hands, and gathered them ai ireely. The pioud signature a.t the loot of 1m letter, "MacMah ui.Duke of M-ig-uta," tells the story of his soldiership and of its reward. He bought his dukedom by the rescue of an army. He won the pie.ddeucy by the racaptuie of Paris. Yet all his bright past caunot show a deed so manly, so high-minded, so soldier-like iu the truest sense, as is this prompt surrender of the highest position in the laud at the ciil of honor. The Iweuteuaiit Uovenio, Piedmont Press. Upon the resignation of Governor Vance, Lieuteuat Governor Jai vis will assume the duties of Governor, and this will necessitate the election by tho Senate of a Lieutenant Governor, who will preside over the deliberations of that body during the remainder of the session. In this" connection we have heard mentioned the names of Capt. J. L. Robinson, of Macon, W . P. Dortch, Esq., of Wayne, den. J. M. ' Leach, of Davidson, aud Maj. W. A. Graham, of L ncoln. Maj. Graham has been favorably mentioned by a number of the Senators for this place, aud if elected will fill it iu au acceptable mau ner. He has been in the chair several times this session pro tem and showed plainly that he had the qualification so eminently required for tuat position. Apart from his election it would bj a fit compliment to him in memory of his distinguished father, the late Gov. William A.
