MULTIPLICATION. The South Carolina dis.
unionists, in their mad schemes of Qualification.
have calculated on producing such an excite.
ment at the South, as eventually to induce the
other Southern States to unite with them in
their projects. In the Legislature Of that State,
one of the arguments in favor of convention
to nullfy the tariff laws, was, that if they should
once declare them null and void in that State,
the other Southern States would then sustain
them in the declaration. Thus it was calcu.
lated for the minority to rule the majority, or
produce disruption of the Union. Some re-
cent proceedings OF the North Carolina Legis.
lature indicate highly patriotic state of feel
ing in that State, and prove that whatever
hopes the nulli6ers may have had, of aid or
countenance from that quarter, are gr oundless
and can never be realized. On the 3lst ut.,
the following resolutions were, after full dis.
cussion, passed in the legislature of that State
Resotced, By the General Assembly Of North
Carolina, that although the tariff laws as they
now exist, are in the opinion of this Legislature,
unwlse, unequal in their operation, and oppres.
slve TO the Southern States, yet this Legisla.
tnre does not recognize us constitutional the
right OF an individual State of this Union to
nullliy law of the United States.
RsSototd, That in the sentiment, "this Union
must be preserved" we recognize PRINCIPLES
which challenge the appreciation of eyerv Re.
publican and which promise to save the Repub.
lie from disunion and anarchy.

THE MAILS More Reform is wanted For
the last ten days considerable portion of the
Boston papers, destined for this place, have
been put into the wrong mail at Boston, In
consequence of which, they have gone to
Northampton, and, in ono instance, the Cen
tinel and Patriot were not received here till
near three days after they were duo. Allowing
the shortest possible time in which they can
reach us when thus mailed, they will be moro
thana day toolato Similar plumbers are constant
ly committed at the Hartford office. Nearly all
of our Washington papers and many from New
York, have, of late gone to Boston and been
returned thence, in consequence of being
wrongly mailed at Hartford. We hope the
" efficient head OF the P. o. department. as
his hattorcrs call him, will look to this thing.

"THE BLACK LIST"

Some apology being needed by the Admins
tratlon for its numerous removals of tried and
faithful public officers, the cry of defaulter was
raised against them, and long lists of pretended
delalcations have been prepared by the immac-
ulate Amos Kendall, and published in the Jack
son papers under the caption which stands at
the head of this article. Several of them were
at once proved TO be false, and as fast as tho
accounts can be settled there is no doubt that
the greater part of them will prove to be so.
Among many hard cases which have occurred
under the new system of prescription, that OF
Joseph Nourse the aged and worthy Register
Of the Treasury is deserving of particular no.
tce. He was suddenly and unexpectedly re-
moved from office, and Immediately proclaimed
to the world as defaulter to a large amount
Not satisfied with this punishment for prefer
ing the late President to tho present apology
for one, and to glut still further their malice
and revenge, the public officers took advantage
of Mr.. Nourses temporary absence from Wash
ington on journey, to commence an action
against him and attach all his estate, real and
personal, including his household furniture
When the action came on trial, Auditors were
appointed by the court on motion of the Dis
trlct Attorney to adjust the accounts. Having
performed their duty, and made report which
has been accepted by the court, it appears, that
instead of being defaulter TO the United
States, there is balance due him from the gov
eminent Of t1oeloe thousand three hundred ana
thirty-One dollars and ninety-sir cents. When
public officers thus prostitute their official sta
lions for the qualification fprivate malice and
revenge, and TO tyranize over individuals on &C.
count of their political preferences, it is time
for the people to rise in their strength, and
cause Thorn 10 be removed from the situations
which they disgrace by holding them.

BALANCING MUsKETs. An accident occurred
at the Theatre on Wednesday evening, which
was within hairs breadth OF proving fatal to
the life of Mr. Peters, the celebrated antipo-
dean. While Mr.. P. was in the act of balancing
five muskets supported by single bayonot,
with its point resting on one Of has fore teeth,
the point slipped between his teeth and passed
directly down his throat, in which, ere he could
arrest its force by the exertion of his strength,
it had inflicted fearful wound in the next
instant the cumbrous load of muskets dropped
before him, and he fell back upon the stage
An exclamation of horror burst from the aud
ienee, who had previously witnessed, with 81
lent dread, tho dangerous and revolving feat
which Mr.. P. was performing, and in moment
the stage was filled with anxious spectators of
the tragic scene. As the unfortunate man bled
profusely at the mouth, he was placed in a
posture to prevent the flow of blood to the sto.
mach, while messengers were despatched for a
surgeon. In about fifteen minutes Dr.. Mons
attended, and on examining the wound, an.
nounced that, though severe, it was not mortal;
and Mr.. Peters is already so far recovered, that
he expects to be able, in a day or two, TO re-
sumo his perfOrmances-NorfoM Herald

( CLERKS AND SHERIFFs. 1t will be seen, by
reference to our legislative journal, that mo-
ton, to pay Clerks Of Courts and Sheriffs of
Counties fixed salary, in lieu ffees, as is now
done, has been referred to Select Committee
OF one member from each County in the State
We are inclined to believe that the proposition
VIII prevail 1t is doubtless just principle
that the people should. know the amount paid
by them to all their public officers, except in
cases where the amount of fees depends OIL the
labor actually performed, and where the rate is
SO liked as in no case to exceed just compen.
satIon for the labor performed, and the risk
which may be incurred. But, such is not the
case with the officers IE question, and, attention
having been turned towards them, the people
will not rest satisfied till the compensation is
definitely fixed in accordance with public sen.
tment Statements have been made concern
ing the income of those officers in this County,
founded on estimates which we believe to have
been greatly exaggerated, and which, at any
rate, are unfair, as being made on year in
which the business was probably twice as great
as that of ordinary years. This, however, at.
lords another reason in favor of the proposed
change, because, if it is not made now, such
S-eumstunces will continue to be seized hold
OF, IN order to infame the public mind, till it is
brought about, and it may happen at time,
less proPtious than the present, for having the
question finally fixed on a fair and Just basis
In the mean time, it is gross injustice toward
the incumbents of such Offices, to excite odium
against them, for receiving the compensation
which the laws have fixed to the performance
of their duties, and we never can aid, or give
countenance to such a course, in order to effect
any object, however proper or desirable it may
be in itself
BILL or MORTALITY. The number Of deaths
in Worcester during the year 1880, was "a, ir.-
GLIDING two or three persons not residents, one
of whom fell from his carriage while passing
along the street. OF this number, II were I'M
der the age of one year 5 from l to years ;
from to 10; from 10 to 90; 12 from 90 to
30 8 from 80 to 40; from 40 to so; 5 from
so TO GO; 9 from GO to 70; 6 from 20 to so; 6
from so to 80; and two who were in their 95th
year. The number of deaths in 1880 was con-
sderably larger than usual, though no mortal
epidemic has prevailed amongst us. Still it
amounts to but about one in 50 of the whole
( population, which we believe is not moro than
the general average of the whole country

SEVERE Snow STORM. snow storm com.
menced on Saturday morning last and con-
tinued till Sunday evening, which, for severity,
has not been exceeded, if equaed in this
vicinity, for many years. The snow fell, on
an average, about fourteen inches deep but as
the wind blew gale, during great part of the
storm, it is every unequally distributed" the
drifts being very deep in many places while
others are bare. An almost total embargo was
placed on all travelling. After Saturday night,
no mail reached the office in this town till Mon.
day afternoon when the western mail came in.
The southern mail, due Sunday noon, arrived
about sunset, Monday evening, and soon after
three mails from Boston, one ofthem the great
commercial mail, due at o'clock Sunday morn.
ing, another, the same mail, due Monday morn
ing, and the third, the western mail, due at 9
o'clock Monday morning.
Travellers from Boston, and other places
eastward of this, represent the storm as hav-
ing been more severe in that direction than it
was here. and the quantity of snow which fell,
much greater. This might be supposed from
the greater delay of the eastern mails than the
western. The Boston Courier saws, " the guam
tity snow that has fallen must be very great,
and is drifted beyond any parallel for several
years" The Gazette estimates the snow at
two feet on a level, and says, -" we believe 1t is
many years since VIC experienced so severe a
snow storm For thirty hours or more, the
wind blew with great violence, part of the
time perfect hurricane" The Traveller speaks
Of it as " one of the most severe snow storms
that has occurred in this region for several
years" Tho Salem Register says, "we have
experienced since Saturday morning, genuine
old fashioned snow storm--therc was 10 mis-.
take in tit was worthy of the best days Of
our fathers. 1t was accompanied with VIC.
