Hauiyh Observer. -It is a complete statement of the funds of the State, with detailed statements and tabular exhibits of the receipts and dis bursements - of the Public Treasury of North Carolina during the fiscal year end ing September 30th, 1878. It appears that about 2,000 has been saved to the State under the new arrange ment of allowing Sheriffs to deposit their taxes in certain convenient banks and save the expense of travelling to the State cap ital The total aggregate value of lands, town property, horses, mules, cattle, farming utensils, money in hand and on deposit, solvent credits, fec. in 1874 was $143,723, 813. While in 1877 it was 146,370,493 a gain of $2,046,680. - The number of acres of land listed for Jaxation has decreased 796,370 acres, and fallen off in value $2,214,288 for the same years. For the same years the value of town property has increased from $16,652, .131 to $17,413,340. The number of horses has increased 13,263, th creased 1,043,843, owing e value has de- no doubt, to the general shrinkage in nearly all values. Mules increased in number 13,070, and de creased in value $327.5 "1. Goats have gained rapidly and multiplied to the extent of 7,455 over the number known to be in the State in 1874. 'I he numerical increase in cattle is only 14.039, and the money loss in value $151,406. This is a sorry show ing for what ought to be oue of the great est interests. . There are 89,391 more hogs in the State than there were in 1874, and what is sur- prising to us is that, despite the low price of meat, there is an increased valuation amounting to $182,143. Sheep growing has made some progress, and in the very teeth of the dogs, the flocks have grown larger, and we have 88 335 more head than we had four years ago, and $7,762 worth more than we then had. The value of farming utensils has nearly doubled, show ing a net gain of $5,688,680. Money on hand and on deposit has decreased by half. Solvent credits have been growing steadily, and now exhibit an increase of a fourth, while other personal property shows a fall ing off in value of about one titbe. The stock of the State in incorporat ed companies has increased from $590,521 worth to $698,258, and her railroad franchises that were worth only $564,981 iii 1874 amounted to $889,591 in 1877 As we understand it the rate of taxation has been annually lowered until it is by n means oppressive, and although we have made no startling progress in the term of four years embraced in the above comparison, we have not lost ground, but in times of panics, business depression and financial distress, have substantially im proved.

The Attorney Geuerai and Ihe Maine Judgeship-The KnialU Bribery and Corruption law The Action of Chief Justice Waife Xew York Cn tom House Nom inations, Ac. Special Ditpatth to the Baltimore Smh. Washington, Dcc 12 The following statement was made to-day by those Intt mate, personally and officially, with Attor ney General Deveus : 1 he Attorney Gen eral, it is stated, was informed by the Pres ident that the appointment of Ignited States circuit judge for the first district, mde vacant Ly the death of Judge Shep ley, was at his disposal. At the tame time the President made no secret at all of his earnest desire that Mr. Devens should remain in the Cabinet, not only W cause it would be agreeable to him (the rresident) personally, but for public rea sons, the weight of which could not be overestimated. For his own part, the At torney has at no time made concealment of the fact that he is entirely satisfied with his experience as a Cabinet officer, and would be glad to return to the judici ary; but he has concluded to defer to the wishes and views of others, aud has notified the President that he may consider himself at liberty to bestow the circuit judgeship on another. It is further stated that although the Maine Senators and members are very anxious to secure the appointment fer a citizen of that State, as the deceased Judge -was also a citizen of Maine, the probability is that the appointment will be civen to fudge Lowell, of the United States Dis trict Court for Massachusetts. THE SMALL'S CASE. Several days ago, through his couucil, Robert Smalls, the colored Congressman from South Carolina, made application to Chief Justice Waite for a writ of error in his case to the Supreme Court of South Carolina. Smalls was tried and convicted iu the State courts on a charge of briberv and corruption aud sentenced to imprison ment in the penitentiarv. He made ai- plication to the State courts, under sec tion 641 of the Revised Statutes for a re moval of the cause to the United States Circuit Court. This application was de nied, and hence the appeal to the Supreme Court of the Lnited htates. Day before yesterday it was announced that the Chief Justice had refused to grant the writ, and yesterday it was announced that he had granted it Both these statements were unauthorized. The Chief Justice made up his decision to day, and directed an order for the writ of error to be issued. It is understood unofficially that the Chief Sustice was not altogether clear as to the propriety of granting the writ of error, as it was not conclusively demonstrated that the case came properly within the pro visions of section 641. But it has long been the practice of the Justice of the Supreme Court, as laid down by that emi nent junest, the late Mr. Justice Nei son. to give in sucu cases tna bene fit of the doubt to the applicaut. The writ as issued is not made returnable until the next term of the court, which does not begin until next Oc tober. If proceedings should stop until the return of the writ the effect would be to leave Mr. Smalls undisturbed, in person and in mind for twelve months. But it is in the power of the authorities of South Carolina, if so disposed, to reach a speedier determination of the case by the Supreme Court. In ex parte' Russell, reported in Thirteenth Wallace, the Supreme Court decided that a case made returnable at the next term could be docketed at the present term, on a motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction, or for frivolous appeal. This, therefore, places it in the power of the Attorney-General of South Carolina to make a motion at once which will bring the case before the court on its merits. - THE NEW YORK NOMINATIONS. As he has not definitely made up his mind to fight the New York custom house nominations, Senator ConkHng is using his power, as chairman of the committee on commerce, to delay action on them by tue committee. Mr. Conkling's particular friends arc now canvassing the Senate on this subject, but they do not find the out look encouraging. It is not yet ascertained that any of the democratic Senators who acted with him last winter will sustain him now, and there is no sign of weakening among the republican Senators who voted against him at that time. PERSONAL. The Hon. Geo. S. Houston, Senator-elect from Alabama, was on the floor of the Senate to-day. At first the doorkeeper would nt let him in, and he had to send for Senator Bailey to come out and identify him. Gov. Houston was in the House of Representatives twenty years ago, and was a member of the House in which- Senator Whyte contested the seat held by the Hon. J. Morrison Harris. Terrible .Accident. Oxford Frte Lanre., Mount' Zion church, located at Walnut Grove in this county, was, on Monday last, the scene of a most distressing accident by which quite a number of persons were se riously injured, and it is feared two fatally. It seems that the members of the church and some of the neighbors had asseir bled for the purpose of reshingling the roof of the building which was in need of repairs. An ordinary scaffolding had been erect ed upon which quite a large amount of shingles had been thrown and on which fifteen men were engaged at werk. The platform on which they were stand ing was about on a level with the eaves of the house between fifteen and twenty feet from the ground. All at once, without any premwtion of danger, the rude structure collapsed, bringing all its living freight to the groand with frightful force. The shock of the fall was so great, and such alarm existed, that some ( the party working on the roof lost their footing and. fell U the earth. Kearly all the number were wore cr Ies injured, the mot m-rioos ot bMl .Messrs. rinKnev Meadow Blalock. are and Milliitrtoo The two ger.t!c.c received thnsrerwa internal injuries, and we understand th physicians in attendance express much Tear as to their recovery Mr. Jam TVilUr soo had his sboaldcr-bUde dudocattsl anj .nrssrs.
