Allen (INayoy by order of Gen. Sicklesl is
not satisfied yet. He still contends that
the tax is an ec post facto law, and employ
ed a lawyer and tried to get an Injunction
from Judge Green to stop collection At
last, poor Mayor, failing in all his efforts.
unlike Lambert & Hall, had to pay his tax.
But this was not the only Sample of a yam
kee trick which had to contend with, for
Sample in reality tried his hand at the
game. He was not as sharp as Messrs
Lambert q Hall, nor was his ingenuity suf-
ficient to master his difficulties. He knew
the blow was heavy, but tried to lessen its
weight by not giving in the amount of his
purchases in 1866. He was tapped and had
to pay double tax He tried the game
again this year but failed. His dollars had
to go where they belonged, and will help
to defray the expenses of the State, for
which he is willing to do SO little Anoth-
er trick he tried, and that was to be Sher-
iff; he also failed. When this SAMPLE of
human nature again tries to play his tricks,
let him apply to those expert gentlemen,
Messrs Lambert & Hall, for a little instruc-
tion and Sample of their experience.
Should they refuse him this great boon, he
can, like them, change his sign to Knarin,
and take to himself the wings of ;he morn
ing and seek a habitation elsewhere, to a
people that like him better than these peo-
pie do.
Such are some Of the trials of Sheriff,
under military and civil law. If you want
responsibility and trouble be Sheriff. If
you want to learn human nature and the
tricks of mean men, by all means be a Sher-

Negro Equality.

DLesSrS. Editors We should not insist
on filling your columns with nonsense, but
the following is such good joke on Sni
der that We feel we should be doing an in
justice to the laughing portion Of our COM
munlty to withhold it. According to APP
polntnent, 1t seems, couple of orators,
one colored gentleman, and the other a
white man with negro principles, both be-
longing to the sO-culled Union LeaQue fra
ternlty, met at one of the precincts In Rob-
eson county to discuss the signs of the
times, which they failed to do from some
cause. Evening approached; ; they called
in to spend the night with gentleman
whom they supposed to be a follower if not
Supper coming on, the two were invited
into the dining room to discuss their cold
coffee in doletul solitude. After which a
clean cloth was spread and the family took
their warm tea. The clock struck nine,
and they were shown into a sleeping apart
ment where there was but one bed only.
Policy perhaps induced the old gentle
man to serve his noble guest himself,
portion of which duty was to carry pitch
er of water into their room the next morn
ing. Whereupon, much to his amazement,
the following scene appeared: The feath-
er bed on the floor, Pompey on that; the
mattress on the stead, his chum on that.

In the case of the old and new School boards,
Judge Duplantier decided that in the new board
when appoint led, vacancy existed, and the reso-
lutions of the council repeating all ordinances of
Public Schools, were null, because they con1icted
with an act of the Legislature, and were in viola
ton Of the charter, because they were passed by
both boards on the same day. The Judge decree s
that the new board s not qualified, and are for

Important Order from General Candy.

y.
Attention is called to the telegraphic
notice of an order from General CANBY
curtailing the authority of the Provost
Courts. The powers given to them by his
predecessor, especially composed as is the
one III Cumberland aud adjoining counties,
was the most dangerous and unnecessary
exercise of illegal power with which Gen
eral SICKLEs illustrated his short but event
full reign. Their abolition entire, or at
least their members confined to the officers
OF the army, would be received with much
pleasure, and would be of benefit to the
whole community.
1t seems that General CANDY will also
modify the order closing bar-rooms. This
Is also most proper and Just.

MEssRs. EDITORS Your merchants have
suffered somewhat within the last two
months in the way of commissions, &c, on
cotton. The people in this county have
not been able to get a permit by which
cotton could be shipped, and the conse-
quence has been that the cotton was carried
to Fayetteville IN wagons, and sold, that
would have gone to Wilmington. Why is
it that permits cannot be furnished to those
who have cotton to ship? Application has
been made to A. Watson, Deputy Collec-
tor, over and often, and he has neither fur
ni5hed permits or given any reason for not
doing SO, and the consequence was that
those who had the cotton have been heavy
losers by the decline in price, and have
those who were to receive the
proceeds for goods, &c. We think it is
getting time that tax on cotton can be paid
at the port where shipped, or that some ar
is made 10y which it can be got
to market without having to wait three
months for Il permit to be furnished by all
incompetent and careless Collector Of Reve-
nue. We make these remarks not know
ing where the blame should rest, but hoping
that those interested may take the hint and
remedy the evil complained of

LONDON, April 10, p. M.-Spain has
yielded to the demand made by the British
government in the case of the steamer
Victoria.
In the British House of Lords, in an
swer to the Earl of Clarendon, the Duke of
Buckingham said that within the last two
hours dispatch has been received from
st. Petersburg confirming the impression
that the negotiations are entered on with
the United States for the cession of Rus
sian-America, though the authorities at St.
Petersburg had not heard of the question.
1t is no doubt likely 10 cause great feel
ing and considerable excitement, but trust
it will not be allowed in the minds of
Englishmen to have any undue weight. l
cannot myself think the cession or pur-
chase, if so it be, of the territory in ques-
ton is likely to have any such overwhelm-
ing influence on the progress of the colo
MES which have sprung from our blood,
who have been established on the other
side of the Atlantic as at first sight might
be imagined.
New YORK, April 15.-The steamer
Armenia, from Southampton on the Sd, has

zette of the 22d, in an article referring to
the eventuality of war between France and
Prussia on the Luxemburg question, says:
Luxemburg would by no means compen-
safe for the sacrifce,which would be entailed
by war. Even if victorious, France would
only once more evoke the former, and now
happily extinguished enmity. France
should well consider the question on all
sides before she attacks people defending
its natural integrity. War would also GER
tainly place in question that domestic sta
bility which the French government has
striven to achieve. Monteur de Soir speaks
of Bennengsens questions as leaving on the
whole favorable impression, and although
several of his assertions might be seriously
disputed, he has plainly admitted how
desirable Is the maintenance of relations of
cordially between the German and French
nations, and how disastrous would be war
between the two countries. The Moniteur
adds that Count Bismark pointed out
in dignitied language the necessity that
Germany should take no Just SUSCEPTIBLE
ties of France into account. He said that
Luxembourg was an independent State,
which the King of Holland could dispose
of in the exercise of his sovereign rights
on his own responsibility. He did not at
tempt to contest the undenidble fact that the
inhabitants of the Duchy of Luxembourg
experienced strong repugnance to be in
corporated with Germany, and he insisted
lastly on the influence which the desire of
maintaining pacific and friendly relations
with its powerful neighbor, and it must ex-
ercise on the policy of the Prussian govern
ment.
