" , Upon examining the ect we find it simply means that the owners, of land that has been ' sold for taxes .must pay . their, taxes or the State will take possession. It means this and nothing more. It may seem hard to those who have neglected to pay their taxes that when the State brings an aotion to recover lands sold for the payment of the same.they cannot plead. answer,- or demur, before paying the amount of taxes, cost and charges with twenty-five per centum in addition thereto; but it must be remembered that the State and counties are long sufferers ia this matter; that these parties have had ample time to pay their taxes, and that the State and county governments cannot exjst without the levy and col lection of taxes. A monstrosity indeed 1 What is more monstrous than the proposition that a State or county should only force the collection of taxes from those who are willtngt o pay? Who suffers on account of the delinquents? Why, evidently the tax-payers themselves. Lands have been sold year after year for taxes and bid in by the State, the owners paying no regard whatever to the law or to the notices of the sheriff, and when the State proposes to corns in and take pos session of the property, giving the de linquent a fair chance to pay his taxes and keep it, such action is called a mon strosity and that by an intelligent, law abiding eitizen. "Bear ye one anothers burdens" is a command as applicable and as essential in the affairs of State as in Church, and when a portion of a peo ple enjoying the rights and privileges of a free government refuse to con tribute to the common fund for the sus tenance of such governmont, steps ought to be taken to compel them to do their duty. '. There is a looseness about the listing and collection of taxes that ought not to be allowed, and if it is not arrested will become a serious matter for the State and county governments. The taxes lost annually to Craven county by delinquents would pay nearly half the interest on the county debt. Theee very farmers whom our correspondent is so eloquent about, are the ones who are paying enormous taxes because their neighbors will not put their shoul ders to the wheel and do their part. And we beg to remind our correspond ent that this law does not bother those who have paid their taxes;it is intended for their benefit., intended to compel those who will not pay, to learn obedi ence to law and pay their taxes as all other good citizens do. We are aware of the fact that there are many cases where the parties have a little property and ere unable to com mand money at' -all times, but how is . the State to discrimi nate? . It cannot do it and be just to all its citizens. Our Sheriffs are generally indulgent, too much so in fact, and give plenty of time to raise the money. But there is another class-who don't pay who rely upon the failure of the sheriff to comply with some requirement of the law, by this means they hope to evade paying. their taxes. The General As sembly doubtless intended this act to fit just suoh eaaas. ' ' ' ft'? -vi t But admitting the law which our cor respondent condemns in such strorg tarms to be unjust and impolitic;is ft not a monstrous proposition for him to warn the county officers not to execute their sworn duties? We think this m "a mon strosity," and the conservative spirit of the good- people of Craven county will stand up for-the rights end the right is that every , man should stand on the same footing in regard to the payment of taxes, except such as are excused by law. " The authorities of Craven county ought to execute the law without fear, favor or affection. Do this and all will be well. .

A Monstrosity, Editor Journal: We will venture to affirm that never, in the history of civilization, was such a law ever placed upon the statute books as that recent law, passed by a North Carolina legis lature, for the collection of baok taxes, A sheriff makes a deed to the State of a man 'a property, and the monstrous act prohibits him from making any defense whatever, tie ' may nave received no notice of sale, the sheriff may have made no levy upon bis personal prop erty before going upon the realty .which tue law aseoiutely compelled him to do. he may even have paid his taxes but lostnis receipts, and yet here comes this terrible legislation, worthy of the darkest days of the Star Chamber, of police espionage under the First Em' pire, or of the Spanish Inquisition.com pells him to pay back taxes with such desolating costs as were never heard of before, and ten per cent added, and his wife and children are turned out uoon the cold charity of the world without a single chance or hope of mercy or de liverance. And this is the justice-lov ing, law-abiding Uld North State, in the close of the Nineteenth Century, anu unaer a uemocratio administra tion. Are our people deranged, or what is the matter with them? Here are our farmers buried up to their eye-lids in mortgages, put on from year to vear to save their little homesteads. Blight after blight has swept away their crops. They have sweated at their plow handles to keep the wolf from their doors. Wearied and broken by disas ter and Bicknefs, they nave hauled their little cotton to market to see it swal lowed up by debts. And now many of them are facing the winter with but little to eat, with no margin of profits for another year, and not a single hope outside cf the Good Providence of God. What does the State, for which many of them sacrificed sons, brothers, prop erty, and everything else in a darker day, do for them r Does it shelter their poverty, commiserate their destitution. bear with their misf ortues, and exercise a paternal clemency towards them? No; it says, get up out or your rags, you de linquent beggars, and pay these taxes. or I'll send you into the poor house, every mother's son of you. In a word, it confiscates the property of its own sons, not for crime, treachery or rebellion, but lor poverty, misfor tune and the scourging of God. At a time when the ordinary, current tax is a burden too grievous to be borne, comes this iron hand of confiscation from the State, and plucks away the last pros pect from toe people or raising their families in decency and honor. We are not talking, writing or dreaming politics this year, but we should like to know if the Democratic party expects to suryive such cruel, relentless gag laws as tnisr It is a credulous old dotard if it does. The Republican party, under its old plunderers, was credited with being a brilliant thief, but it never used thumb-screws, pulleys and gyves upon its own followers, nor sought to crush the common people by iniquit ous oppression. And what will the State do with these little parcels of prop erty, this Judas eauivalent of blood, when she gets it? Will it make her any wiser, richer or stronger than she was before? Will any of the children of these-plundered wretches, who shall be so fortunate as to secure other homes, get from this cold-hearted Commonwealth any more money for their publio schooler No, not a cent. She leaves them to educate themselves now, and she will be likely to do the same thing when she has pocketed their last confiscated acre. Neither in any other direction is she likely to reap any benent rrom tnis barbarous law. in the meantime, our civilization, that civili sation which has as its corner-stone. order, charity, culture and enterprise. will be strained, snocked and confound ed by the enforcement of such reckless legislation. , We warn the authorities of Craven county, that they had better pause for awhile before they lend themselves. even remotely, to this heinous system of plunder and confiscation. There is a day of reckoning coming for those who put their hands on the throat of the peo ple, and say,- your money or your life. The cry of the poor will not always en ter unheeded into the ears of God. Some one: must suffer -for thia oppression. Only let the conservative spirit of onr citizens stand up for the good, the true and the right now and always. z. 'The Silver Question In Uermaoy. To the Editor o The Suk: Str: My letters from England announce the re turn of Mr. H. H. Gibbs of the Bank of England from the conference on the silver question with Prince Bismarck, to which, as l some time ago informed you, he was i invited by, the German Chancellor. He was treated with the Kreatest distinction and courtesy by the Chancellor, and be preserves a disoreet and commendable silence as to the tenor of their discussions. When yon re member that Mr. Gibbs himself is earnest bimetal ist, the significance, of this reserve will be . made evident to you; perhaps, by the following extract from the Berliner Borsen-Zeitung (Bed age No. 518), for Mr. Gibbs is also a pa triotic Englishman. The Secretary Of the Treasury will see that it is at least premature for us to legislate against sil ver on the theory : that bermany .will not act on the question "without the Your ob't servant. t 1 -Wm. Henry HuRLBEHT. ,; We must advise the partisans of the gold standard not to rely too strongly ou statements made in the North- Ger man Universal Gazette to the effect that the 8ettlemeutof the question depends upon England. Has it escaped their notice that the government, on this un derstanding has put itself upon the bi metalio stumlpoint, and has accepted a solution of the question of standards in the sense of bimetallism.' 'Whether tt w ill t rtiwnitor not to wait for Li;g',..;:. UTore carrying out this solu tion is no question of principles at all. But since it is growing steadily more and more clear that " the damage and the danger are vastly greater for ns on the side of this waiting for England than they will be if wo take action alone, and under ade quate guarantees in concert with France it would seem to be reasonable to expect, within certain limits, a revo lution as to the points of view on this subject such as has already taken place within the bimetallic party itself. . Till within the past year the bilmetallists were in zavor of re-establishing the double standard . only in concurranoe with England; but they have become convinced that this view reposed only on a prejudice, and they are more and more rapidly coming to the conclusion that to adopt bimetallism without the concurrence of Enaland is., the surest means of overthrowing the commercial preponaerence of England.11 NEWS1BY MAIL. FIRE AT JACKSONVILLE. Jacksonville. Deo. 17. The fire on Bay street was stopped this morning at Keeper, furchdz Benedict s store, on East Weston street, and at McConihie's hardware store.

The Judge refused to continue the injunc tion, deciding the case against the liquor men on every point.
