At tention i called to the fact that mor tnett swear falsely in listing their taiables than in doing any thing else They seem to think it right ta cheat the government out of all the taxes they can, forgetting that they are only cheating their fellow taxpayers and committing perjury to do it. The sworu duty of the assessors is to ascertain the true valae in money of all real and personal property and assess the same in accordance with said val nation.

At the recent meeting of the "Soathern Presbyterian Church at Tois. while the question of! onion with the Northern Chnrch wa. being disou&sed, a Virginia clerjtJTnan is charged with using the following argument against nnion: "You will th eleat bUck gen tleman offer hia arm to yonr white girl and h irratafaUy accept it. The po pto froea Virginia to the gut will not hare their relation with the colored race decided by the Northern Church. " The name of this Virginia cler gyman La not given in the notice from which we get the above, but how the union of these Churches will destroy all self-respect and pride of Anglo-Saxon blood among Soathern girls we are unable to discern. "Why has not such been the result in the union of the Northern and Soathern Episcopal Churches t It is a slander upon oar Soathern girls to assert that they would under any circumstances gratefully accept the arm of the black gentleman. J.HE COLOR LITE FADING A WAY. Senator Ingalls, in his late Abi lene speech, used this expression : I have no hesitancy in saying that granting the right of suffrage to the colored people has proven an abso lute and unqualified failure." We are not surprised at snch an utter ance; we were looking for it. He oalyjrave expression to the belief of all the Repnbhean leaders. Many sensible people believe that if they could disfranchise the cot oreri people now there is no doubt they would do it, but the Deinoc racy of the country will never per mit it. rCkariotte Chronicle. The Democracy of the country, since it Is pledged .to maintain the light of the colored people to vote, cannot afford to draw the color line in conducting a campaign. If the olor line is drawn at all it must be done by the colored people them selves. Leading Bepablicans like Lsoaxxs are ready to declare the colored people unworthy of the right of suffrage jast so soon as they begin to exercise independence and discretion in casting their bal lots. They begin to see the mis take in arraying themselves solidly on one Bide. They have had it within their power to abolish the color line in politics since the first time they exercised the right of suffrage, and it would have been to their interest to have done so. DEATH OF P. . HALE. The AVir anl Observer of Friday last announces the death of Peter Maulett Hale, a noted journalist and publisher, and State Printer for two years past. Few joarnalists hava done more lor the material welfa-e of North Carolina than Mr Hale. The following paragraphs from the Neic and Obaerver't notice of his death will give the reader an idea of some of bis work, and his hand book of North Carolina iolitics is a Bam pie of the services done for the Democratic party of the State: In 1876 Mr. Hale returned to North Carolina, and in conjunction with Col. Wm. L. Saunders began the publication of the Observer at KaXeigh- at once establishing that paper on a higher plane of journal ism than had ever before beeu at tainedby any North Carolina paper. The Wilmington Journal, which had been the leading paper of the State, was no longer in the field, and from the first the Observer w.is of commanding influence in North Carolina affairs. The work p-r formed by Mr. Hale in this new field of labor redounded to his honor and received the merited ap plause of his fellow citizens. No other instrument had ever been n potent in developing the resources of the State and furthering the ad vancementof those works of internal improvement which have in more recent years contributed to her prosperity. Particularly may we say that his firm espousal of the measures inaugurated for the com pietioo of the Western North Caro lina railroad won tor him the last ing gratitude ot those sections of the State whose development de pended upon the completion of that work. And the event justified the soundness of his judgment. The great prosperity and ad vancement and progress we today witness across the mountains, 11 largely dae to the untiring efforts of i Mr. Hale to secure lor the people ot that section those adequate ! i.Aii; hoo tra.nannrt-atinn which I aretha basis of their present ac- tiriUes. Asapolitical writer, he was no mnnd and Mierflretic than when aeeMnz the derelopment of our I material resources. He was al j ways true to conviction and to j tsrincrpto, and his leadersbip was JargtJj KKUO" fOUcrv mo ptcooj " f the Estate, jaw cj ijxr and forci ble. He was an .s n J.. wo a MasaiiQl . fa Us tastes and a asa. beiie-lettre scholar. So well equipped, and early trained to journalism under 1 the eye of one of the lst editors I of the older generation, he never j failed to elucidate every subject he ; discussed, and in his argumenta tion he brought m bear the arnia 1 ment of his unusual powers. THE WHIPPIXi-lJST AMI THE PEMTEXTI All V. Many newspapers in North Caro iua are advoeating the abolishing 01 tue penueiiuary auu re iau- 'hshmg the whippiDg-post. 1 hey say the penitentiary has no terrors for petty criminals, and a confine ment there does not lower the character of one 111 the e.-t 'in at ion of a large class ot our citizens. 11 '! these papers think whipping would j degrade these petty criminals in . the eyes of their fellow citizens or; deter them from committing these ' offenses, they are mistaken. We ! bave known instances of young thieves in this city being turned, . . over to their mothers and the vigorously applied in the presence of the court and such others as saw fit to attend, but no salutary in fluence followed. They were con tinuous! v before the courts lor j thie ing nntli sent to the I penitentiary. We can not see how the whip being applied by a public officer at a public whipping post would pro- duce different results trom what we have seen tried here. L would not be cheaper than sending to the! penitentiary, provided the convict was made to work to pay the cost ot his trial and conviction and the expense of keeping him instead of giving his labor to some private corporation. Do not abolish the penitentiary because it is badly managed, but reform t hi' manage ment and conduct it with the view of making the criminal repay the State the damage he has inflicted bv his crime. DEBT REDUCTION OR TAX KFIH ( TION. From the New York get the following figures 1 we regard to the public debt and collection of taxes: "The public debt statement for May shows a debt reduction of S,;SS,!07 for the month. The cash in the Treasury is nearly $500,000,000. l;Since the close of the war, twenty-two years ago, the public debt has been diminished sixteen nunarca averageof. 3,000,000 a. year, llie T ..-IT. JJI debt is now onlv a trifle over 40 per cent, of what it was ar its high est point. The amount of taxes collected by the Government in lSOo was ?322,000,000. The amount collected last year was $330,000,000. So that the people are actaally taxed fl-1,000,000 a year more than they were in the year that the war There can be no more legitimate debt reduction' after this month. outside the operations of the Sink- ing Fnnd. What appears to be a rednction will be merely an in crease of the cash balance in the Treasury. Whv should they ha forced to anticipate the payment of an unmatured debt which will be mt r. matnntv. insensible to them, by the operations ot th e Sinking Fund V ' If the Democrats fail at the next ses-ion of Congress to formulate some plan by which taxes will be reduced so that the receipts will conform to an economical adminis tration of the government, they will lose much of their claims upon the people for re-election in 1888. A rich government means a poor people. No government can afford 1 - to te uDiust to its people. No gov ... ernment has a right to take from its people more money than is ab solutely necessary to defray legiti mate expeuses. The party that permits or endorses such unjust taxation cannot long retain the confidence' of the people. True, it may bo claimed I'm the Democrats of the last Congress that they only had a majority in the House, but it is well known that they could not. or did not, agree npun auy pl.in ( ta redue tion, and therefore cannot saddle the Kepublicau Senate with the entire responsibility of failure to relies e the neonle.

Wilmington livietc: The alli gator which was kibed on the turn pike last Tuesday by Mr. K. 11. Grant has leen brought up to the city and was on exhibition on Front street today. He is an ugly looking customer, something more thau ten feet in length, with a month that looks as if an ordinary pig would make no more than a jrood bite. The sail news ol the death this morning of Col. William L. Smith, one ot the most valued and esteemed citizens of Wilming ton, has provoked one universal sentiment of sorrow and regret. His illness was of but short dura tion and outside of the immediate circle of his family and friends it was not known that he was serious ly ill. He was on the street last week and hence the sad news of his death was all the more start ling.

Remedies for the Toothache. liY AN OLD PHYSICIAN. The remedy for the toothache I should alw ays correspond with the exciting cause. Pain from pressure is commonly relieved by tue re mnral of tn ofl'endln snlistanci' from the cavity. When svmnathe- tic with some organ of the system, it must always vars' with the state of that part. Avoid, if you can, whatever may produce if. Tooth ache from cold may be cured by anodynes, such as opium, hyoscya ruus, belladonna, or such astrin gents as concentrated acetic acid, strong nitric acid, nitrate of silver. Should the toothache have arisen from heat suddenly applied, or fi om sharing in the intlaination of neigh boring parts, then the mouth ought tial oils le droped into the painful cavity; or what is better, flannel, dipped in spirits and sprinkled with pepper, laid npon the cheek. Hot brandy may be used, oil of cloves, cinamon, cajeput, lavender; Kreosore is exrremeiy pungenc, dui very disagreeable to use. If the pain unusually bad, have recourse to ;he warm bath, and let leeches be applied to the temples. Where swelling of the gums is present, re peated scarification will do good. Toothache is sometimes sympathe tic with a deranged and irritable state of the alimentary canal. It grows worse towards me evening. In the eighty- use. ou must attend to the ac his ht'e: '-My ! tual source of the pain. A gentle emetic has frequently cut short an attack ol toothaclie.
