I suppose yon hare adver- j t ise I my pro pert y apryu, as you did la3t . j year. I have appealed to the . Txgislatun?-1 for relief from what, as you very well know, is an unequal and outrageous tax: '--Messrs. Scott and Allen assure me that it 'shall - be attended to. The hill. I think, will ptW a3 soon as 'the legislature meets. I am willing to pay you about what 1 think the tax will be when corrected, and I wish to ask your indulgence on the .balance' till'it is settled. 1 .would" hat-' paid you, had I been. here, and if you refuse me any accom modation, will have tb pay the whole amount now. I have this to say, however: Your past conduct to wards me has evinced much of a disposition. tj annoy and oppress. You advertised property list year without good cause and without giving me warn ing, -and that too when you had money of mine in your hands for weeks, and when you knew that J expected you to take my taxe3 out of Ft. It is true Mn Hubbard took.it from you, but yon "knew that he did it without my authority, and you might at least have informed me before - distraining.' vl'he request which I now make is 'a rea sonable one, and one which, you; would not ' hesitate to grant to any other property holder in your county. 1 say this mnch more to you :'.' You are, as I have been some time ago .informed, Jiolding yonr office in violation" of the constitution and laws of the United States, and have there by subjected yourself to a criminal prose-' cut ion in the Federal Courts. Ordina rily this would be none of my business, but I am not in the habit of receiving injustice without attemping to repel it. Now if you seek. in this way to annoy me, I shall be under the necessity of seeking to annoy you. I do not say this for the "purpose of influencing your course, but simply to'do that which you did not do for me to give, you notice, and fair notice, of what may be done. Yours, &c, ! v Daniel L. Itrs.sKi.i;, Ju. Catiikuixk Lake, J une 2)5, 1874. Yours 19th inst., was received to-day, but was too busy to answer by to-day's mail. -.The circumstances which led to the prosecution instituted by Judge liussell against ineare these : In the Fall of 18G9 I collected 'some money for Judge Russell under an execution returnable to th,e Spring term, 1870, of our county, which" caused me to indulge 'his taxes of the year 1869, until court, which came in March 1870, thinking when; he called for it that he would allow me to deduct the amount on his taxes,; which was very near the amount : in my hands, lint when court came, his j counsel, M r. 1 l.hbbard. said that Judge liussell had written to him to get the jnoney and send it to him. 1 at first' re fused to pay it to him unless he would take u receipt for the amount of Itussell's taxes; which lie said he was not instructed to do, . and that he would denounce me if I didn't pay it sobn. Well, I paid it, and wrote to liussell what llubbafd had done, through his instructions, and that if I didn't get his taxes by a certain day, I would sell his E roper ty. When the day canie, 1 went to is plantation and found him there, very indignant at finding his property adver tised for his taxes, but he paid, me and we parted seemingly friendly. Jr The next year he let his taxes lie until, jl. think, March, when I wrote him again that I had advertised a sale of .property I for taxes : on a certain day' and his was; in cluded among others, lie wrote me a veryi abrupt letter, in which he reminded me that I was holding my office in viola tion of the Fourteenth Amendment tofthe Constitution' of the United States, and thereby subject to a criminal prosecution in the Federal Courts, and stating that lorrginally that would be none of his busi ness, but if I: continued to annov him about his taxes lie would make it his business, &c. I wrote him that 1 had only treated him as I had others whose taxes were past due six months, and as for his; threat of a prosecution in the Federal Courts, he c(vuld try that whenever he got ready, but if his taxes were not. paid by the day 1 had writ ten hint, lie fore, that I should be sure! to sell his property. On the dy mentioned I went to his plantation, and he sent me a check payable at Newlern. In June Hol lowing there came a Deputy United States Marshal to my house with a warrant of -'. arrest to carry me before a United States Commissioner, nt Raleigh. ( 1 can't think of his name now, but' he was a Yan kee Tr m New England) for holding office in violation of the Constitution, fce. As it happened the Deputy was a young man who was raised in the;" county and in five miles of me, and took my word that I would meet him at Kinstoh in time to be in Raleigh at the time specified in the war- - rant. I met him at ivinston and he took me -to Raleigh. AVhen we got there the Yankee Commissioner was not in the citv, and they took me before another, who was a North Carolina, man, who happened to be there. All they ccuid prove against me was that I was a coroner Vie few the var.and engaged in rebellion against the Uuited States by accepting the office of sheriff during the war. ; : The Commissioner held that according to Judge Bond's charge to the jury in .the Powell case from Sampson, which was; tried i the day before, , that holding the sheriff's oQlce during the war was not engaging in rebellion, and dismissed-the warrant at the cost of the United States. I don't think there was any affidavit at tached to the warrant, 'ihere was written across the back "Upon the 'Affidavit of I). L. Russelh" i Also, -not to be issued un til just- before court" was written across the back. He had three witnesses from this county, viz: Jasper Ethcridge, A. J. Mumll and Frank Thompson.

In a speech at the Opera House to-night, Secretary Sher man declared that the Republican party had always been in favor of equal rights before Mie law, and the tendency of the Democratic1 party has been in favor of abridging tholiberty of those who opposed them. The rebelliou has been crushed, but the spirit which animated it bad' not been eradicated, and to-day millions of people in the South were denied their rights which would be verified by the elections next Tuesday.. He claimed the credit for the Republican party for the de velopment of the commercial, "industrial and educational interests of the country, and said the Democratic party had never been progressive in matters contributing to the prosperity of the people. The masses of the Democratic party are honest, but the leaders are not. slavery was maintained by that party, and the South encouraged to rebel by Northern Democrats. The Democratic party budt their ipyramid of hopes lor success m tne mture on a solid South, and without it they had no show of victory. ; He enlarged on the Ku Klux outrages, but exonerated the Demo cratic party of the North from them. That they had existed, and did exist, was not denied. Marauders had roved the commu nities, driven negroes before them, com mitted many murders for opinion' sake. Now as effective, but a milder sort of in timidation prevailed. For three weeks, in several States, the'Democrats have been terrorizing negroes to prevent them from voting their opinions, There would be no safety to the Republic until every man was guaranteed the right, to vote at least once. He claimed that South Carolina, Loui siana and Florida were fairly counted for Hayes, and that the Democratic Congres sional committee, appointed to investigate the alleged frauds, utterly failed to make out a case against the Republicans. The "action of the Returning Board, in reject ing the votes of the bull-dozed districts, was defended as right, and Secretary Sher man added that tie natural majorities of the Republicans were wiped out by mur ders and other modes of intimidation. The Democrats had no reason to Complain be cause Hayes was seated, as they had or ganized the Electoral Commission. Reference was made to the "Ancerson Sherman letter.", which he said was a for gery, and that it was known to prominent Democrats who had -suppressed the act to his-injury. In allusion to the cipher dis patches, he said the Democrats had endea vored to buy the electoral vote of three States, and the people would never be sat- I lsned until thev got at the bottom of the ; villainy. He hoped Cong rress would pftsh the matter and ferret out the sruiltv, and the result would no doubt show more Dem ocratic fraud. He then discussed the finan cial question. . , ! The l-'.uropcau Cotton Trade. Liverpool Nov. 2. Messrs. Ellison & Co., in their annual review of the cotton trade say that the English cotton indus-' tries have been mora or less depressed throughout the past season. Russian Cot ton industries, aided by high duties, appear to have been prosperous, but from Ger many, France, Austria, Switzerland, Bel gium aid Holland, complaints more or less conspicuous. Indeed, the whole con tinent suffers from glutted markets .and low prices. The principal reason for the inactivity of trade. Messrs. Ellison believe, is not over-production, but political un certainty. !.

A Day at the Richmond Fair. Special Correepondtnce of the Sun. Richmond, Va., Nov. 1st, 1878. Did you ever stroll leisurely down a crowded street and watch the countenances of the passers by? To my mind this is one of the most pleasing and instructive uses leisure can be put to, and I am sure no city is able to offer a greater variety of speci mens of the genus homo, than Richmond during fair week. Arriving here oil the afternoon of the 30th, too late to visit .the Fair Grounds, I equipped myself for a walk down that most charming of thoroughfares, Broad street. Richmond men and women have a most graceful and pleasing way of walking, when they walk for the fun of it, as every body does on Broad street. It is a kind of easy 'promenade swing, everybody walks just exactly alike, nobody ever thinkg.of striking up against anybody else, for eveyy I one instinctively turns to the right a con tinual harmonious flow of charming hu maiuty. , I had not far to go before finding out that my uncouth stride sadly marred the surrounding harmony of motion. I made several attempts to regulate my pace with that of my neighbors, attempts which, with I humble pride I confess it, failed most in- gloriously. But I Was not destined to re main the sole exhibitor of awkwardness, for, having arrived at that portion of the street where the train running from the Fair discharge their cargoes of living freight,. I met some ten or a dozen coaches just arrived, froni which several huudred '"country cousins" speedily: alighted. L Pleased with their joyous, expectant and confident faces, I moved along Swith the throng. ! Broad-shouldered, six-foot Tonf is'in his glory. A brand-new hat, of -the latest I style, adorns his bristly hair, his panta loons are stuffed into a pair of shining boots, while a pair of immense yellow buck skin gloves cover his horoy, honest hands. All bought this morning within the hour of hi3 arrival. By his side, and clamping his . hand, walks meek-eyed Mollie, who looks none the less sweet in her pretty blue dress, because of the fact that her fiffure reminds one of the excellent batter country gi ? stride past rls can make. Bob and Billy past the brilliant shop windows in the same manner that ; ther march to the - . - , , . -urt No'jse ou court day's, each having in his mouth a huge, steaming cigar, of the j kiud, to judge from the odor, that one gets two of for re cenlg Girk witn tnemf Xo ! f. n& for the to w , . . . - . . , , . . , the air and girls are too mnch roWo. Bnt here eomes sweet demure, freckle faced little Nellie. Nellie, with the golden carls and soft blue eyes, eyes without the slightest suspicion of a cloud in them. With her natural, artless grace a thousand times more enchanting than all the studied poses of the ball room. Mis Nellie, the Judge's daughter, the belle of the Tillage, who rules it is a gentle sway over more honest hearts than she numbers years. Nellie doesn't do much work, the hardest perhaps being to make up dough and feed the chickens, and that is the reason, too, that her bands are so soft and white. She is walking with Harry, tall, slim Harry, who has just graduated and is going to settle at the Court House aud. practice medicine, and may be why may be marry Nellie. Thursday is always ihe big day at the Richmond Fair, and last Thursday the crowd is said to have been larger than ever before. The exhibits were not as full, varied, or interesting as they might have been indeed? as they are said to have al ready been on former occasions; The collection of hogs, sheep, and poul try; attracted much attention and was ex tremely good. The . mammoth ox and heifer from New York, aggregate weight 7,100'pounds, also had many visitors. Of farming implements and machinery, there was also a great variety The Allen brick press from Salem. N? . C, was awarded a prize. The racing did'not amount to much. Some disappointment was caused by the non-arival of Senator Daniel W. Voorhees, who was to have delivered the annual ad dress. No reason was given for his ab sence. What was lost in this way was, however, made up for by the admirable, drilling of the various military companies. This was really good. There were three prizes of fered, amounting in all to about $000, which were all won by Richmond com panies. After the drill the companies, under command of Gen. Bradley T. Johnston, were formally reviewed by Gov. Holliday, Gens. Joseph E. Johnston, Jubal A.Early, Fitz. Lee and W. B. Talliaferro. An amusing little' incident occurred dur ing the review oftroops. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston was standing next Gov. Holli day, very erectand alittlein advauceofthe line of spectators, when a woman in a white shawl, about six feet tall and of giant pro porportions, wedging through the crowd, planted herself squarely in frout of the gal lant soldier. He said not a word for about half a minute, when, touching Gov. Hol liday, he cracked a smile all oyer his face. The Chief Marshal, being near and seeing the situation, came forward and politely requested her to mbve'aside, which she did with a pout ; evidently wholly unaware whom she had been standing in front of. The general's face resumed its sei ious, but not unpleasing gravity. He .seems to be made of stern, honest stuff a stuff much needed in Congress. The Florences are drawing immense crowds at the theatre. Twas wholly ou account of a desire to see her exquisite acting in the love scene with Charley Brood, that I went to the theatre a second time. f The announcement is made of the death of Dr. J. C. Griffin, of Gloucester county. He is said to have been an elegant gentle man and a man of much learning. He was of noble descent, and at the . death of the late Earl of Traquain, in England, suo ceeded to that title. Being an American citizen and muchj attached to his native State, Virginia, he did , not pr6secute his claim to the earldom, and died a poor Southerner. Ru. NOTES NORTH CAROLINIAN.
