A CHRISTMAS SONG FOR TIE SOUTH
BY JOE MANTON.

'Tis Christmas morn, the cock has crowd
And walked our hearts to joy
The bark Of life we've gaily rowed,
And now ono loud ahoy
one loud ahoy TO joy ahead,
TO speed it on the way.
une loud alloy to sorrow fled,
10 hid it long good day.
Iia Christmas morn
Then wind the horn.
And call the dogs away
Well swallow the nog,
Then over the bog
Wall chase the fox to-day.
The hickory wood is on the hearth,
And bright the cheerful glow.
But SPARKLE brighter streams of mirth,
That through our bosoms flow.
From broiling ham comes grateful fumes,
The toast is crisp aud brown
In curling wrcaihs the coffee blooms,
Anon we'll drink il down.
III Christmas morn

We'll swallow the nog,
Then over tn hog

With stranger hearts to care
An awkward time the negroes keep;
They sing spmn rustic air.
With iayia hearts they greet the day,

And blc- lhr grateful lave.

The Crops.

The late rains, though amounting in some local..
ties to freshets, have been of great benefit to the
growing crops The ravages of the chinch bug have
no doubt been arrested, and the is likely to get
such start that they will damage it but little
hereafter.
The wheat and oat crops have been reaped, and
the yield Of the former is represented as very large
North-Carona has probably made onefourth more
wheat this year than ever heretofore. Prices at
present are pretty well maintained; but with the
abundant yield in this country, and the promise of
a good harvest in Europe, the article, we think,
must undergo considerable decline.
The corn in this section, though small for the
time reached in the season. is yet looking remarka.
bly, WELL The color is good, and the plant is grow
ing rapidly under hot sun and occasional showers
We learn that in Johnston, Sampson, Duplin,
Wayne, Pitt, Onsow, and other Counties east Of
this, the corn is very promising. large crop was
put in; and may look for full cribs, fat CATTLE
sleek horses and an abundance for everybody du-
ring the next year.

For the Standard.

EDITORS OF THE STANDARD Gentlemen I'm your
editorial of the 11h instant the rejection of the
charter continuing the Bank of the State of North
Carolina until 1886, you very correctly take for
granted that in the future operations of the Bank,
the same liberal aid heretofore extended to the
treasury of the State in its financial affairs will be
still continued and that the business OF the institu
ton will be conducted in such way as to produce
little detriment to the public possible. Indeed
there is no need, in winding up its affairs, that any
embarrassment should precede follow the expira-
ton of its present charter. Neither is there any
need, with wise legislature at the helm that ten or
twenty local banks should be created to supply the
place of the Bank of the State. If q new bank is
established with large capital and power to create
branches where they may be needed whose provis-
ions will command the confidence of ca pital, the
demise of the present bank will not be felt If
such is established it will be the fault of the
legislature and not of the capitalist.
In some respects, however, think that your
remarks calculated to prejudice the stockholders
in public estimation. / Enow that they were ex-
ceedingly anxious to take renewal, and I feel
assured that they were Influenced to decline, not
less by their regard for the public welfare than by
concern for their own private gains (or with not
few of them their mere stock was q minor consid-
eration) II, indeed the latter had been their sole
motive it cannot justly be the subject of censure,
for the State did but propose partnership, and the
terms not being deemed acceptable were declined.
The State did not approach the meeting ~ superi.

public treasury. How provision in bank-charter
for tax upon one only Of two such different sub
jects of taxation, can be construed into an entire
exemption from the other it is difficult to conceive.
1t is more reasonable conclusion that the Legisla-
ture intended to reserve for future emergencies the
power to raise revenue from that subject of taxation
about which it was silent And this conclusion is
strengthened by the reflection that the reserved
subject is upon which the taxation cannot press
very heavily. It is to fall profits it diminishes
when they grow lighter, and is withdrawn altogeth-
er when they cease. Such is not the case on many
other subjects of taxation. Land and slaves must
contribute to the support of the public burdens,
whether their owners sigh over empty granaries, or
rejoice over barns filled to overfowing. Our con-
cluson, that the exemption of the capital stock OF
bank from any greater impest than that which is
specified in its charter, does not exonerate the div
dends of the stockholders from such taxes as the
Legislature may, from time to time think proper to
impose, is expressly decided in the from Ten
nessee, to which we have referred. We have shown
that is directly within the rule of construction
tracted from Chief Justice Taney's opinion in the
case of the Ohio Insurance and Trust Company ".
Deboh Being thus supported by reason. and con-
irmed by authority, we state it with confidence as
the law of this and all similar cases. The demurrer
must be overrued, and the defendant ordered to put
in an answer.
Per CuRIAM. Demurrer overruled.
