TAXATION. Opinion. of City Attorney. dkneyJ I th, 1872. j i : : Office Gty Attorney, icalcigh, Y. ! . May 20th j u me jnayor ana Board of Commissioners ) of the City of Raleigh : Gentlemen": I have the honor jto acknowledge the receipt of a resolution aloptol by . your honorable body, "in structinjjthe City Attorney to reixjrt to the Board whether any, and if any, what changes . in the mode of levying City taxes, are necessary under the Constitution of the State." j J understand the inquiry to Ikj: Whether the Board of Commissioners are not compelled by the State Consti tution to tax all personal property, ex cptsuch as is exempt from taxation by; the State Constitution, or by the General Assembly, legislating in con formity with its provisions. f Soction nine," Article seven, of the State Constitution is as follows : ! Sec. 9. All iaxes levied bv anv County, City, Town, or To wnship, shall be 'uniform and ad raloremt upon all property In the same, except property exempted by thl3 Constitution." ' i This Is a mandatory provision. It will bo observed that the word "shall" .is used ; and the section includes "all property" in the "County, City, Towii) or j To wnship, not exempted by the Constitution.' j Section six, Article Ave, of the State Constitution is as follows : i "Sec. C. Property belonging to the State or to municipal corporators, shall be exempt from taxation. The Gener al Assembly may exempt cemeteries, and property held for educational, sci entific, literary charitable, or religious purposes,1 also, wearing apparel, arms for.inu.ster, household and kitchen fur niture, the mechanical and agricultural implements, to a value not exceeding three hundred dollars." j This section absolutely exempts pn pcrty belonging to the State or to mq n id pal corporations from taxation. Not so as to the other classes of proper ty specified in the same section. It is left discretional with the General As sembly whether "cemeteries, and pro Iorty held for educational, scientific, or religious purposes," shall be ex empted ; or, whether "wearing apparel, arms for muster, household anil kitch en furniture, mechanical and agricul tural implements of mechanics and farmers, libraries and scientific instru ments, to a value not exceeding three hundred dollars," shall.be exempted. from taxation. liy an act or tue General . 1 The language of the Constitution (j tinted by" the City Attorney is jtoo plain to be disputed. 'It is equally clear that the provisions of the Chapter of the City of Kaleigh, a public muni cipal corporation, where, In conflict with the Constitution of the State, niust" be void. ' " '.' 1 1 It is true that the Commissioners have been since the adoption of said Constitution levying taxes under th.e old Charter, rather than under the Con stitution. But this was not according to law, and the acquiescence of tax Davers cannot chancre this law. I Any levy of taxes contradictory to the provisions of the Constitution:' of course willix illegal, and, if resisted, cannot be collected. f There are those modes of taxation commanded and allowed in the Con stitution. 1st.

It is equally clear that according to the ninth Section of Arti cle seven, of the Constitution, all other property shall be taxed ad valorem and uniformly. As to whether, however, the property specified in the second clause of the sixth Section of Article live, of the Constitution, which maybe exempted by tile General Assembly, and which is exempted from State and County taxation by an. act ratified Jan uary lim, ia7, is taxanie ny tne city Commissioners, there may be a ques tion. The act proposes to prescribe the mode of levying and collecting State and County taxes only. It would, how ever, be considered a fair construction of the act to ' extend its provisions to the levying and collection of taxes by Cities and Towns also, as it would des troy the equality of taxation contem plated by the Constitution, to render property taxable by Cities and, Towns, which is exempted from State and County tax. Therefore, it is my opinion that the City Commissioners are complied to tax all property not exempted either bv the provisions of the Constitution, or by the aforementioned act of the 1 legislature. Very Respectfully,- J. C. Li. IlAIUilS, -' City Attorney. We believe that President Grant's Administration commands the appro val of the country. There is very little doubt but that he will be , the next President. The "Liberal" naoers sav that President Grant can be beaten ; but They What us? Who has done more in war?!

In the Presidential chair as well as when commander-in-chief he works toward a definite end. He was not one of those spasmodic Generals who went up flashing and came down black. He did not astonish by brilliant dashes, but assured by steady success. Battles -were but steps toward the end which was peace. While; seated before Vicksburg, the Democratic press pictured the "silent man" sitting at his tent door in his shirt sleeves and straw hat. He was sure to be smoking a cigar and saying nothing. He kept up a "mighty sight" of thinking, how ever, as results proved. During all these months the Democrats were prog nosticating the deieat or Grant? and a victory for Pemberton. One fine fourth of July the news came that Vicksburg was captured by the man in his shirt sleeves and straw hat, and above its ruins he smoked his inevitable cigar. This thing is being repeated over again. The Conglomerates are howl ing themselves into the belief that Grant at the head of his army the Re publican part y, will sutfer defeat. They nave not studied Grant's tactics. lie does not astonish by sky rocket dashes. He has the end in view: a country thoroughly at peace, and the nation's honor redeemed. Gentlemen of the Conglomerate tick et, you whistle to keep up yur cour agebut your "old heads" know that you have no hope of defeating the great Republican partv. with its victorious General at its head, with your rabble who only fight for plunder.

The gloomy sus pense which like a dark cloud overhung the patriotic masses of North Carolina, thank. God, has been removed, and the poor working man, so long the vic tim of a cruel Ku KIux oppression, may lift his head with hopes of a bright fu ture. The contemptuous linger of tha base oligarch may point t with , scorn, while his wicked and unphilantropic heart swells with bigotry and intofer ence, but these nor his threats, will longer deter the , honest masses from the discharge of their duty. They have long since learned to regard these men in their proper sphere, the mere puppets ot aisanectea leaders of the ureeley party. ; 1 True, the Democrats have not sus tained uch a defeat as we could wish still to any intelligent ixlitician, it is plain to be seen that Gen. Grant wil carry North Carolina in November by an overwhelming majority. This is clearly indicated by the large Republi can gains since the Shipp and Jfhillips campaign, and also by the fact that the true intelligence of the State, the hon est working masses, are fast discovering that the main principles underlying the action of the Greeley party serious ly threatens liberty and good govern ment. Whv do I so?' Because the Republican party in its platform prop aerates the Only code of principles that will protect the liberties ot the citizen, and any departure from this code tends to revolution, and revolution invaria bly hazards the liberty of the people. Mr. Greelev may imagine to himself that he is filling: up the "chasm," when in fact is disrerimr it deeper by lending himself as an accomplice to men who would have been willine; a few months ago to hang him to a grape vine. Greed iness for office in the North, and love of oppression in the South, is the only prominent fruits of "Union" discover able in the whole movement. They have published to the world something called a "platform" which, to any in tellisrent reader is meaningless, thus leaving the ignorant and disaffected to at upon the only principle upon which hey all agree, that is to "heat urant.'f who, I ask, can rely upon a party whose motives are so obscure, and whose principles are so s undefined ? The "intelligwcepf the South" socalled, will tell us "we -want, our rights, we want to disfranchise the colored man. and if needs be. a portion of the whites also. ; We want a whipping post as a part o(. our rights denied us by the Grant usurpation. We intend to test the legality of. the so-called constitu tional amendments fastened upon us at the point of the bayonet, and how can all this be accomplished unless we beat Grant, and disorganize the great Republican party ? If this brings rev olution, let it; wealth and intelligence must rule at all hazard." Again : I say. that the patriotic, hard working masses North and South are too vigilant, and too much on the alert to be longer deceived by men of such vile sentiments; and will bestir them selves in the present contest to elect Gen. Grant, protect the liberties of the people and save the Union. Mechanic. . Raleigh, Aug. 6, 1872. Corn Stealing-.

'. . , ,For the Carolina Era. Mr. Editor : The Republican gains in Yadkin are very large. In. 1870 J. G. Marler's majority over T. N. Vestal was about five hundred. His majority over Glenn this year is twenty-eight. Yadkin elects, a Republican Sheriff, Treasurer, Surveyor and four Commis sioners. . Caldwell's majority in this county is one! .hundred and eight. Furches majority over Robbins is about one hundred. .We think old Yadkin is doing well and will give a handsome majority for Grant "' in No vember.

It is hoped that our people will awake to the importance of sus taining the efforts of the State Agricultural Society to develop the resources of the State.

Accidentally Shot. The Rutherford Vindicator of the 5th, says on Monday even ing last, a most sad affair occurred in Mr. John May's store, in which Lewis, a small colored boy, was shot, by Harry Churchill. Lewis and several white boys were playing in the store, when Harry picked up what lie believeo to be an unloaded pistol and presenting it at Lewis, pulled the trigger, the pistol being loaded, was discharged, and a ball entered Lewis' head, from which he died the same evening. Harry was arrested and carried before Justices Allen, Bradley and Allen, who after hearing all the evi dence, concluded to bind him over to Court, taking bail in the sum of 500. This is a sad warning to those who care lessly handle fire-arms. Suicided The Salisbury .Watchman learns from a gentleman from Stokes Ferry, that William Russell committed suicide on last Monday about 2 o'clock by shooting himself with a rifle. The ball entered his forehead killing him instantly. Mr. Rus sell had begnn to eat- dinner, when he got up from the table and left the room saying thaC "he would rather die than to know he was doing destracted," He had been gone about live minutes when the family heard the report of the gun, and being alarmed at his not returning went in search of him and found him near the house lying dead. :j lie was about 18 years of age, and it is supposed was not entirely sane. Dastardly Outrage. On Saturday night last, two or three men went to the House of Mr. Win. Hicks, who lives about two miles from this place on the Smithfield road, and asked for four pounds of bacon. Mr. Hicks went, to the smoke-house to get the bacon, and as ho stooped down one of the robbers struck him on the back of the head with a huge stick and knocked him senseless; The robbers then took whatever they wanted and left. Thev were in a Phae- . - ton. Mr. Hicks has been delirous since he was struck,uid has been unable to tell anything about the men who committed the robbery. It is to be hoped that the fiends will be arrested, tried, and if convicted receive the full penalty of the law. P. S- Since the above was written five t - . - negroes, have been arrested, charged with the robbery. The trial will take place to day. Simpson" Mordecai is one of the ar ras ted men. Time and enlightened experience have shown that certain substances formerly used and relied on in medical practice, are unnecessary and dangerous; yet some of these substances have found their way into medical compounds. Dr. Walker's Cali fornia Vinegar Bitters, however, con tain nothing injurious, being composed exclusively of vegetable substances from California. For all disorders of tho liver kidneys, bladder, skin, and digestive organs, and for purifying the . blood, they are the most wonderful remedy known. ! . 15 4w.
