Fp1cnrpUL ACCIDENTAL WORKMAN INSTANT
IT k1L1rp.-A most psinfal casualty took place
at an early hour yesterday morning at The new
Sherman House, whereby enc OF the workmen
named John Ryan was instantly killed, in
manner shocking and most zingllar.
He had been emoloyed as stone setter, to
ft in place The ashlar blocks Of the fronts, on
coming to his work yesterday morning it wss
necessary to change th. position Of one Of the
derricks On the South Clark street front. The
bailding has now reached The sixth story, ths
derrick frames are fitted with long spar to
carry the block. The.s derricks standing upon
the s;dewalk are Of courss nearly perpendicu-
lar, but lean toward the building, and are kept
in place by guy ropes.
The rain Of Sunday night had wet the street
guy ropes of the derrick ia question, and they
had become tense and tau:- Ryan who Vas on
the top of the building or rather Oh the sixth
aoar incautiously cast loose the upper guy
rope without the usual precaution Of loosening
The strain on the others, which was 80 consider-
ab1e that the derrick instantly began to sHing
over, md continually accelerating its speed.
Ryan was standing some twenty-five feet from
| The front Of the front Of TIE building With the
| rope about him, in a coil Of which he Was
| caught or elsc he passed tho turn Of it about
his arm, thinking he could thus hold the der"
| rick
| Persons in the strset below, among whom
| was Mr. Bherman, the owner Of the house, aud
Cornelius Price, the master builder, saw the
derrick coming orer AID gaye the alarm, aad
| thought the only danger wes to those beneath,
but the spectators were horriGed at seeing the
| derrick drug over the front Of the building q
guy rope.
Ia less time tEan We Gre writing, I'LL was orer
| the spa- Of the derrick struck the front Of ths
building opposite with Tremendous force, ant
breaking the stick in pieces, which came doWr
upon the pavement. Ths unfortunate victim o
the disaster was swung c!ear across the street
snd dashed upon the stone sidewalk, Large
piece Of the derrick spar falling upon him.
Ofcourse 10 WAS instantly killed. He mus
Lave struggled fearfulI1 with his fate before b

The Discussion at Franklinton.

0~o~ocoAOh
We learn that the result of the discussion at
Franklinton, on Wednesday last, was. complete
triumph for Gov. Ellis. He met Mr. Pool point by
point and thoroughly exposed his proposition to
call Convention as to enable the Legislature to
lay the same rate of tax every thing in other
words, to tax every thing Mr.. POOLS adj UalOrem,
with his mode of obtaining it, is by no means pop
ular in Franklin.
We learn that Mr.. Pool appeared to be much af-
tiiced by the tax imposed banks, and that he is
anxious to subject all other property to the same
tax which these corporations pay. If Mr.. Pool
thinks an argument of this sort will take with the
people, he will find himself mistaken. Banking is
by far the most profitable business in the State If
any business can afford to pay its full share Of taxa
ton the banking business can Mr.. Pool appears
to think that the same per cent ought to be impos
ed on bank dividends and the farmers plough horse
Is that your doctrine, Mr.. Pool9 Is that your
boosted equality of taxation?
We also learn that Mr.. Pool took sides on this
casion with the seceders and disunionists of the
South, and declared that the seceders from the
Charleston Convention constitute " the only leauen
of the Democratic party!" These were his words
And has it come to this, that the candidate of the
constitutional Union" party of North Carolina Is
follower and eulogist of William L. Yancey ?-of
William l.. Yancey, who is dsunonist per SO, and
who desired, and so expressed himself in 1863 to
"precptate the cotton States into revolution -
Strange as this may appear, it nevertheless seems
to be true. If the seceders constitute the "leav-
n"-the best portion, the saving influence in the
Democratic party, and if they are to be compliment
ed for their disunon sentiments then it follows that
the person who thus compliments them approves
their course and regrets that they did not succeed in
breaking up the Democratic party first and the Union
afterwards. Let it be known among the Union
loving people of North Carolina that Mr. Pool SYM
pathzes with William L. Yancey and the seceders !;
and that from whatever motive, he regards them
and speaks of them the best portion of the DEM
ocratic party
Mr. Pools denunc:ations of Douglas and Douglas
men only go to show that he fears Judge Douglass
strength among the people. He supposes it proba-
BILE that Judge d. will be the nominee of the Bati-
more Convention, and he is determined to begin up
on him in time.
We learn that Gov. Ellis is in excellent spirits,
and that he is producing fine impression on the
people. Mr.. Pool is looked upon as tricky and
slippery. The people, therefore, do not seem to
have full confidence in him. He is so full of ticke-
ry and special pleading that they think he will bear
watching

Terrific Tornado in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI May 22.-The most destructive tor

The Question of Taxation.

We stated in recent issue that Mr. Pools plan
of taxing all property, and that too at the same
rate was a new feature proposed to be engrated on
our revenue system; and that no State in the Union
had adopted such plan. We win now proceed to
prove our statement, commencing with the State of
Louisiana.
The Constitution of Louisiana, adopted in 1852
contains the following clause the subject of taxa
ton: -,
Taxation shall be equal and uniform throughout
the State. All property on which taxes may be
Levied in this State shall be taxed in proportion to
its value, to be ascertaned directed by law. No
species of property shall be taxed higher than
another species of property of equal value which
taxes shall be levied; the Legislature shall have
power to levy income tax and to tax all persons
pursuing any occupation, trade or profession"
Under this provision Louisiana taxes lands and
slaves at the rate and each white poll 81. But
there are numerous specifics and exemptions-that
is, many things are taxed specifically, and very
many are not taxed at all. Louisiana taxes every
circus $780, every public ball OF concert $40, every
lawyer, doctor, dentist and apothecary $40, every
lodger in tavern or hotel 80 cents, every retailer
of ardent spirits less than gallon $780, every beer
shop $40, every billiard table 800 every ten pin al
ley $1O every negro trader $500, every peddler
500, every exchange broker 800, &c, &C.,
According to Mr.. POOLS plan nearly all the above
subjects would go untaxed, for his platform makes
no provision including them. He might, 1t is true,
estimate the value of circus, and tax it in that
way-or he might estimate the value of a billiard
table, and tax it in that way-or he might estimate
the value of the pedders Stock and tax it in that
way; but then, as he proposes to tax all property,
and that too at the rate, he would be obliged
to impose the same per cent on horses, hogs mich
cows, household furniture and the like, which he
imposed on the circus, the billiard table, and the
peddlers stock Is not that so? Certainly 1t is
We defy Mr.. Pool or any of his friends to show the
contrary. But Mr.. Pool only wishes to reach the
negro, say his Western friends Ah!-is that the
object? Then why did not Mr.. Pools party in Con-
vention go right after the negro in so many words
like honest candid men? Why did they refuse, by
rejecting Mr.. Turner's motion, to exempt anything?
NoW they say they will exempt by discriminating
What nonsense! Why, every one knows that dis
elimination of itself implies taxation. 1t is, there
fore, impossible to discriminate and exempt at the
same time.
More on this subject in our next
Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1860-05-26
Rear in Mind

That John Pool, the Know Nothing candidate for
Governor, is pledged by his platform to tax "erery
pecies" of property all property in North Carroll
ma; that he could not exempt any thing, if he would
for the platform of his party provides only for dis
ordinations, and not exemptions; and that to dis
criminate is to tar.
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool now proposes to cal
Convention to make amendment to the Consti-
tuition and that at the last session of the Legislature
he voted against Convention to be called for that
very purpose.
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool now processes to be
an ad Ualorem man. but that at the last session Of
the Legislature he voted against nd ralorem in every
shape in which it was presented.
Bear in mind that Mr.. Pool voted in the Legisla-
ture of 1856 against amending the charter of the
Western North Carolina Railroad, so to grant the
Road one and quarter million of dollars to CON-
pete the work to and through the Swanannoa gap
that, after the bill had passed the Senate, he voted
with Gen Dockery to reconsider it. and then aided
in defeating the bill. And yet Mr. Pool processes
to be friend to Western interests
Bear in mind that Mr.. Pool uniformly voted in
1856 and 1858 against all bills to aid the Fayette
vile Coalfelds Road
Bear in mind that j. Parker Jordan, ESQ.,, while
Comnoner from Perquimans, voted for bills to aid
the Western Extension; that Mr.. Pool afterwards
opposed him for the Senate in Pasquotank and Per-
qulmans, and defeated him mainly on the ground
that he Mr.. Jordan had given these liberal votes.
Bear In mind that Mr.. Pool voted in 1856 against
the bill to extend the Wilmington and Rutherford
Railroad to Polk County Oh the same terms on which
'ne Road had been constructed to other points.
Bear in mind that Mr.. Pool voted in 1856 against
the bill to aid the Atlantic and North Carolina Road.
Bear mind that Mr. Pool declares in the face of all
'neSe facts, tina. he has given more Railroad votes
'nan Gov Ellis ever gave If Mr. Pool has ever voted
lOr internal improvements at all, he has voted only
Tor empty charters.
Bear in mind that during Mr.. Pools term of SER
vice IN 1858 he lodged 145 out of 81 calls of the
yeas and nays! He was looking to canvass for
GOVERNOR and feared that if he met the various ques
"Ons on which these yeas and nays were called it
"0uld lnJure his prospects as a candidate. Is such
man worthy of public confdence2 Can he be de-
pended on? We think not
Dear in mind that Mr.. Pool endorses the action Of
"Allam L. Yancey and Others who seeded from
guy c., charleston Convention, by speaking of them as
"e only leaven in the Democratic party" He
"uS throws the weight of his influence as the OPP
