Daniel Jones, colored, was arraigned in the Mayor s Court (his morning, to answer to the charge of wife-beating. Jones aid his wife were both present, and though they are goin to live to gether in iienco and harmony in the fu ture, the evidence that the better half gave against her partner of rile stronger sex this morning was sufficient to find him guilty, and to cause Mayor Powell to dispense $7.25 worth of Justice. Daniel Joint hail been threatening his wife with all sorts of punishmeut for not being more obedient to bin whims and not looking- after his personal emu fort with better grace. The wife felt that she had been doing her full duty and that she had done everything that she could to eupuort and comfort tho other half of the family and look after the numerous care; of the home. Daniel approached his. wife yesterday as i'f he were entering' a Lion's I)eu and tho woman shrunk before the strong er one. She fell t the floor and was dragged out of the door where Daniel had lTontiscd to inflict the punishment. Rut his reign of tyranny was short lived. Officer Conrad was on that beat and appoarcil in time to save the wife any furtlnr molestation from tho hus band, 'and lo cunt the husband the amount of the fine imposed by the -Mayor this morning. Ol'ticer Conrad seeralod the two that many years ago were joined together, leaving tin. wife at home and taking, iKaniol I'n.in hi don to the Station House, where his desires to lieiw the bet ter half were finally persuaded out of him. At first he plead fur release anil mii id that he would yet get even with Mrs. Jones. His threats did no goiwl on il, e other hand they tuld against hini in, court today and he ii now humbly kneeling as a penitent. Tin- ease of wife-beating is one of n n u ml m- that have eome from the Bowery and Eat lialeigh during the past year. In every instance the husband has put up a bitter light to mipiit himself. There have been the niosi vigorous protestation made by both sidi s of the family house hold and in one or two instances tin' children have conic in as witness's to testify against one or the other of their parents. It is a singular fact 1 lint of all cases of ilns description that have In-en in the Mayor's Court and Magistrate's Courts in this city in recent years there have been only a very small iiercvnlagc of the conplis to remain, at outs after the iniposiiion of a fine and costs nil otic of them. The only nt her' case in Hie Mayor's Court today was one against Bud Pool. Walter Pope and Bill Ford for riisont dorly conduct, each being lined $5.25 (or his part in the trouble.

The town of Snmhunl was origin ally incoij orared in i7!''J, under tin name of Sinilhville. Tiie name Siniiliville was chaimcd to Southporr by an Aci of As sembly of 1SST.

The iiiestion pre senlid for our decision then, brings up for eoiislTineion the almv-'iioiod section of The Code.

We arc of the opinion thai it does not. It is clear that if such a power existed lin ger the s'tiiiiHc. it would be in Ihe power nof the gioeining authorities of a town or city to practically annul its charter -a thing which celt-liny could not be done except by the Ceneral Assembly through a hill enacted for thai,' purpose; If the Conimissionil's or Aldermen could, under the s'Ctiou of Tin.

It is true sneli action on the pari of the Commissioners might not In- prol-ilile, but it could lie1 done il is possible that it could be done under the emist motion which the defeiidarif put npon The Code ,-ctimi. The Teasonable const ruction of the statute nuist be that (lie l own or city ai:thoritie can- sell any persmi'il property, or sill or lease any real est ale whieh belongs to the town or city as the surplus of the original niTe a'git. ceded for the town or city site, or such laud as may have been siileo,ucii.ly aiipviivd or pnrchased: Rut iu no emse can the power 1h extendvnl to th- sale or lease of any real estate which by the terms -of she act of incorporation, is to he In Id jn trust tor the tiite or the town, or any real ixstate w-ith or without, the buildings m If which is devoted to the porrswen-of 'iroveninicirt, JnoludroK town or -ity hall, market houses, houses used for lire depart incuts r for water sup ply, or for public squares or parks.
