THOSE INFABIOtS CONTRACTS. -f . j v- X, i . avi. as a i uovu, wai is a know-thing. Whfen examined be fom t ha Wavs arid Means Committee ; TOrVl to Sa,.Wn ntrn,;ts he professed an almost entire ignorance of the subject, asserting that the original- contract having been made . with ihis predecessor he had treated the ratter as - routine business, and nhe referred everything to the solicitor witlroot examination, and in like man ner signed the papers presented to him. He had recollection of signing 'the circulars ordering revenue officers to assist Sap born in the orders for the distribution of the money recovered; did not recollect the conversation in Boston testified to by ex-Supervisor Simmons. He was asked if he signed orders for the refunding of duties in the same way without examination, and said that he did, but if a new question arose the subordinate would come to him for consultation. If he did not he would probably sign the order without examination. He re- quired a check to be endorsed. The; subordinate was held responsible for checks brought to him to sign. .In rep.jf tu au .u4j w not know that any legislation was ne- cessary to make the Department more efficient.' f , Now could Sanborn and his associ-- ates have desired anything better? Ilere ix a Secretary of the Treasury as innocent of a knowledge of his of fiVial responsibility as one of the babes slaughtered by Herod was of sin. What a pity so great and good amatf should have fallen among the Philis- i! A1 conspiracy of , cunning and . a. "I corruptiuie suoorainaies against, a 11. 1 ? M. " grand financier too much absorbed in vast schemes for the national glory to care for small routine business like the expenditure of three hundred thou- - sand dollars verily it is pitiful, and we wish we had those subordinates by the ears. So ignorant was the Secretary on the examination, Mr." Beck remarked in the committee that he was ashamed to ask any more onestiSns. . - " lv- "Mr. Douglass, Commissioner of Iu- tvrual Revenue, was then examined, and claimed thafa large proportion pf the; taxes sollepted by Sanborn would have been collected by the i .;tw recular revenue otticers without com- b missions. He produced a legacy and succession-book, which all assessors . - ? - - ' - ' ; ; i ' 1 : t ; 1 ' '" 1 - '- : i . ; VOL. 5. were required to keep, and eaid that if they hid done their duty, and he believed they did, there would be no estates not on record in their offices. He was asked Jand replied that he knew no law that authorizes the com pounding or compromise of a claim for back taxes by any other officer than the Commissioner; knew of no law to confer the authority given to District Attorney Bliss by the Sec retary's letter of instructions. This Sauboru investigation places the AdrninSatratioli iu the worst pos sible ; attitude before the country. The Treasury affairs are either man aged wilii child lice imbecility or they are conducted all the time with refer ence to the increase of the pri vate fortunes of its heads and favorite re tainers. It is dangerous for Mr. Grant to accept either horn of the dilemma,and one or-the other he f must take ' " ? , ; THE SPIRIT OF THE STATE PRESS. ( . The political papers of North Caro lina are nearly always on the qui vive. For several years we have noticed that they are early in each campaign on the field, and that they do not flag during the' preparatory skirmishing nof during the thick of the battle. Particularly is this remark just when applied to the Conservative press. This year forids no exception. In deed the great majority of our party journals were earlier ' in sounding to arms than nsuali ' In this State the press has always done good partyj service. In most of the movements intended for the pub lic good the; Democratic Conservative newspapers have been in advance of the politicians. J And we believe the pifes will continue to speak with patriotic boldness in behalf of the people's rights and for the best, in terests of the old Commonwealth it is prond to claim as its mother. SENATOR GORDON'S PROPOSITION jv The proposition of General John B. Gordon, Senator from Georgia, of fered in the Senate Tuesday, provides for free banking and a distribution of banking circulation to each State on the basis of the circulation in Maine. Maine has $8,029,253, or three mil- tics ia e-press oFjitr proportion under the exwtinfflaw. ' The proposition of ' of Senator 1 Gordon would authorize lue auuiuon 01 vwo uuuureu au uitjr The free banking section in the bill of the Finance Committee proposes' to take the circulation of the State of New York as the basis. The excess of circulation in New York is a little over $2,500,000 in a total circulation of $00,970,000. Maine ha nearly double the amount'of circulation to which she wasentitied, that is nearly one hundred per cent, more, while New York has only a little over four per cent, more than she was entitled to. r. :A f : " 1 , ; ;i NOT YET. Hancock and Gordon as a possible Presidential tipket for 1876 has been suggested. It would be a splendid ticket.. Both gentlemen have some thing besides military reputation And they could probably bridge the "bloody chasm" more effectually than I any other soldiers of the late war. But it is too early to talk of running a Southern man by several years. Tml POIIRTH CONGRESSIONAL s district. The Raleigh people always speak of their Congress district as tne met- ropolitan district "of North Carolina. This is incorrect. It might with pro- priety be called the Central or the Capital district. The Third or Cape Fear district Includes the Metropolis ofl the State and" is therefore Ihe Metropolitan (district. $nt we did not intend to discuss the matter of right to names, our I . "' . purpose being only to name toe prou inent gentlemen who have been sug gested for the Conservative nomina- tion in the Fourth district. Among thpuft are Gen. W. R. Cox, of i i ' Wake: Hon. Josiah Turner, o Orange; Samuel T. Williams, o Xash: Joseph J. Davis, of Franklin Hon. John A. Manning, of Chatham . - - Col. James S. Amis, of Granville, Out of this solid array a good man can surely be found to defeat Collect or Young, or whoever the Radicals may nominate to -succeed' Major Smith. Smith, it seeins, is disgusted I with his associations -at the National . ' . . . ' -T . 1 capital ana proposes to reure w iub classic shades of Princeton, other- . , -r, tth wise known na Moon Hill. I: . j The Conservatives ought to wrest back the Fourth District this year. THE CENTENNIAli. The Centennial as a domestic insli tntion we have advocated toe Uen tennial at Philadelphia not at Boston,. New York, Washington, Cincinnati or Chicago the Centennial, for all the sections and all the States. " The Baltimore Gazette of -Thursday says editorially : "Information of a reliable character has reached us that the original Internatibualideaof the Cen tennial celebration will be strictly ad hered to, and that there is every rea son to believe that Congress will laid in the great work by making ' such an - appiopriatitiB as ' will , eertain lv assure its complete 'successi We do not argree with the Gazette when it .adds:. If celebrated at .all, it should be in such a way ; as to J at tract the : attention of the civilized world, and this can only bje dori by the Intefiiational plan so Wisety -agreed npon. In fact thefatidtial faith has already been pledged, to this Btep; and many foreign Government have accepted invitations to partici pate in the celebratiom Under such circumstances, failure would be ha miliatioin Better, far, abandon the whole project, and admit to the na tions of the globe that a hundred, years of national life have destroyed all national pride, and made us utterly insensible to national greatness." Th celebration of American Independence is an event that should chiefly con cern ourselves. True, if we could celebrate it in grand style without violating those traditions of the past that speak so powerfully for the true dignity and worth of the work -done by ouifforefathers, it would be well to invite foreign nations to partici pate. But a world's show costs a vast sura, and the time for prepara tion, if i. we had the means, is too short. , The international, feature should be given up. There can be a great show without that. The ' Gazette appears to place con fidence in its information. Wre hope that informat'on is incorrect. Kalakaua, the new King of the Sandwich- Islands, stands up to his friends. He used to be a sort of editor Since his acoession he has re warded his old associates with various higoffiiorrarTar appointed Governor of one of the is- ands, another editor was made Min ister of foreign Affairs and two others were offered seats in the King's privy council. Kalakaua is shrewd; with the press on his side he has a most powerful ally. Grant and But- ar, however, think, it is tbe best policy to insult the ne.wspapers. REVENUE QUESTION. nparUBl to Registers ml Deeds and MerebaBts and Tradesmen. The new revenue act, says the Raleigh News, having changed the times for listing amount of receipts, &c., Jnr persons carry ing on licensed trades, aao as some difficul ty existed in the mind of the Register of Deeds as to when tbe change should take place, tc, Capt W. W. White addressed a letter to the Treasury Department, ask ing an official opinion in regard to the mat ter. The Treasurer on .Friday forwarded to Uapt, White the following opinion: State of Nobth Carolina, rA, ) TREASURY .DEPARTMENT, Raleigh, April 8d, 1874. W. W. White, Esq., Register qf Deeds, da, Raleigh, N. C: Sir : Tours of the 31st ult received. You state as follows : "By section 26 of the act to raise revenue it is made the duty of all persons carrying on licensed trades to list the amount of receipts, &c, on the 1st of January and July, Sc. By tbe last act the person trading had to take out a lieense on the 1st of April, which they did, but have only paid to last Januarv. The license expires the 1st of April.- 1 desire to know if such persons must wait until the 1st of July to take out their license, paying the back taxes from 1st of January, or must the parties continue to take out license as heretofore on tbe 1st of April." I am of opinion that, as the law requires merchants to pay a tax on purchases for preceding six months they can list tbe amount of their purchases to tbe Register or Deeds the -nrst time under tne present law, on the 1st of July. By so doing their licenses will not be interfered with, as it was not necessary to have an annual, but a quarterly license,. and their last quarterly license was given on the 1st oi January, 1874 I do not consider, therefore, that tbe merchant would be carrying on bust ness without license from the 1st of April to tbe 1st of July. The same rule that applies to merchants, as indicated in the foregoing opinion, ap plies also to other classes of traders that are required to list their receipts or sales. ' The Sheriff's receipt for tbe tax serves as a license to do business. Tbe only form of license to be used by the Sheriff is pre scribed in Section 28, Schedule B, and the Sheriff should always use that form in sub stance. I have answered your inquiry more fully, perhaps, than was contemplated, hut not more so than tbe importance of the subject suggested. Very respectfully, . D. A. Jenkins, State Treasurer. Col. Mayo Adjudged a Lunatic. Richmoot), Va., April 3, 1874. A commission of lunacy, consisting of Police Justice White and 'Justices W. K. Watts and Maxwell T. Clark, to-day adjudged CoL Joseph Mayo, State'Treasurer, a lunatic, and order ed him to be sent to the nearest asy lum as soon as practicable. WILMINGTON, N. C, FRIDAY. CUT or Wilmington y: , ..Under, this head the Raleigh sheening Crescent has the following cheering and en couraging remarks in reference to ourcity: U It.i8 a Pleasant duty for us tobronicie that our neighboring city Wihtlngton--seems to have met with fortnnatl breezes since the terminationof the late unpleasant ness, .and is. now entered on a jpojirse of prosperity that we trust will be permanent; The various railroads centering at feat pontt are reported as doing an immense and profit able business. The Carolina jclntral" is being rapidly completed to Charlotte'; and a new road is now projected that jwill land ! Its passengers on the very banls of ; old ocean. The shipping in theharbor is fast' increasing, and is more largely edraposed of 1 foreign Teasels than ever before Indled, on Ihe completion of the work in grew, at the mouth of the rivei it is ex- j pected that Teasels of the greatest burtlien i wttl he enabled to enter the port, and thus add much to the importance of the plaice as 1 a commercial entrepot. The valuev of her ' real eaUHlm'npidy.io'':free'.to six miUions of dollars, and the Jrsrious en terpriaeTf fteineft'afen'by IfentU-i sens attest that thrift, energy and success ful business have accumulated an abundant supply of capital in her midst. , The latest sensation engaging the attention of her capi talists is, we believe, a cotton factory,Jwith a paid-up capital of. $100,000. ; 'This,! we hope, will prove a paying investment to its projectors. But eTen if it should not. he j highly remunerative to the stockholders, it will doubtless greatly benefit the community by diversifying the labor of the town, and affordiug additional employment fur the laboring claetcs. Germain to this matter, we make . the- following extract from .Hhe Census Report of 1870: The 'cotton fac tories of North Carolina employJl,453 hands; have a capital of $1,031,000; pay out an nually $183,000 in wages; use $964,000 of raw material; produce $1,345,600 worth! of goods, and pay a profit of 20 per cent. We may well hope that this Wilmington factory, under skillful management, may yield a greater return than the average here shown. Our best wishes are with it, as in deed they are with everything elfe connect ed with the interest or advantage of our sister city. Long may sbe prosper 1" Wilmington Retail Market.

The Small Pay of Our Baral Clergy On last Friday evening an interesting sub ject was under consideration by . the Wil mington Presbytery; it was the inade quate compensation received by the minis ters of the Church, in the country. The Revs. S. H. Isler and B. F. 3Iarablc stated what to many must have been humiliat ing informationthat an educated minister of the Gospel receives, on an average, but six hundred dollars per year. On this he must feed and clothe his family and edu cate his children, if possible. Mr. Marable, as Chairman of the Sustentat ion Committee, appointed by a former Presbytery, in eloquent and pathetic language spoke of the mental deterioration of the minister, obliged to eke outa subsistence t f engaging in some secular pursuit; of the wear and tear of mind and body, of tbe gradual ab sorption of the spiritual by tie material; that the great cause of the Master had to give way before the imperative necessity of properly attending to the culture of -corn, cotton, tobacco or turniDS. jthat the wife and little ones might pot want; called from the potato patch over heated and heart-weary to the side of the death-bed where, perchance, a dying sinner gaspingly implores him to help him make his peace with God, while the poor minister, feeling that be himself stands in need of consolation, is in no condition of mind to point to the cross. Mr. Marable is especially commissioned to call the attention of the. Church to the cause of snstentation, and to endeavor to increase the compensation of the country Clergy to an average at least of eight hun dred dollars. It is to be hoped that the appeal will meet with the response which its importance merits We received a large club of sub scribers from Johnston county yesterday. New subscribers are coming in from many different counties. We shall have no cam paign rates this year, all our editions being now supplied at as low prices as can well be afforded. Besidea,old subscribers complain, very justly, that they are, discriminated against when special inducements are of fered new subscribers. i SWfc-- " ' - memorial Address. ' We learn that Col. A. A.
