Leander Todd. the Mail Robber.

Leander Todd, the Mail Robber.
The case of the United States os Leander
Todd, charged with robbing the Mail, was
tried at the present term of the Circuit Court,
and the jury, after being out a short time, re-
turned a verdict of guilty. District Attor-
ney Starbuck and Thos. Rufin, Jr., Esq. ap-
peared for the United States, and Ex-Gov-
ernor Bragg for the prisoner. Judge Brooks
pronounced the sentence of the Court to be
three years Imprisonment at hard labor.
We understand that the evidence. which
was circumstantial, was clear and exclusive.
The prisoner had fair trial, with able coun-
sci to defend him. .fs59=,5
Much credit is due Dr. Jobe, the Mail
Agent, for his ingenuity and industry in ira
cling this robbery. We may sympathize
with the unfortunate criminal, but we feel
that his punishment is just. Not merely
this, but it is necessary as an example to
Others. There can be no regularity in bust
ness matters, and no security to the honest
citizen, when the mails of the country are
not entirely reliable and safe. A single con.
viction and punishment like this may pre-
vent numerous criminal violations of the
law. 80

The Banks and BilIholders.

si A very important case has just been ar
gued in the Circuit Court, in this City, in
volving the right of the creditors or billhol-
ders Of the Banks to require and enforce
settlement by the latter The case is that of
John Baxter cs. The Merchants Bank of
Newbern and others, stockholders; bill in
Equity, brought by the plaintiff as creditor
of the Bank for the recovery of large
amount of the bills Of the Bank held by
him. The case was argued by Samuel F.
Phillips and Thos. Rufin, Jr., Esquires, for
the plaintiff, and B. F. Moore, E. G. Hay
wood and Thos. Bragg, Esquires, for the de-
PENDANTS. 80
The Banks are justly indebted to the bill
holders for the full amount of the bills. 1t
is known, however, that they are unable to
pay the full am cunt. They are insolvent-
that is, the stock has been loss by the rebel
lion, and they have assets on hand to pay
part due on their notes. We do not see why
they should not be required at once to wind
up their affairs, and settle with their crcdi-
tors. The latter are entitled to every dollar
of these assets, and indeed, to what may be
recovered beyond, Of the stockholders, where
by the charter, the stockholders are bound.
The decision in this case had not been
rendered at the time of writing this, but it
may be before we go to press.
P. S. On Monday the Chief Justice an
nounced the opinion of the Court in this
case. Demurrer of defendants as to the Bank
overruled- demurrer as to the stockholders
sustained-costs reserved. After the Bank
is shown to be insolvent, the plaintiffs can
sue stockholders for double the amount of
stock subscribed, to liquidate liabilities.

This is mistake, except as to the Con-

wore when the President was here. For
aAgl& we know, these are all the "clothes ="
he wears.
We now repeat, that Gov. Worth was
clad in Confederate gray" in the presence
of the President and Gen. Sickles He
did this fren one of two motives. Either
he sported these CLOTHES" to show his af-
lection for the dead Confederacy, or he was
too stingy to buy a black suit, SO as to be
able to appear as 3 gentleman on the occa-
sion.

MADE AT
WALTHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Waltbsm,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, more accurate, less complex, moro
durable, better adapted for general use, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the market They are simpler
in structure, and therefore stronger, and less
likely to be injured than the majority Of foreign
watches, which are composed Of from 12s to 500
pieces. while in an old English watch there are
more than 700 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, Is shown BY the
following letter:

ANOTHER HEAVY RAM.-We have just
been visited by another heavy, washing rain,
commencing on Sunday night. The farmers
were replanting and recovering somewhat
from the former freshet, and We fear the last
rain has been disastrous to them. Mean
while the grass is taking the crops as the
result Of the continued wet weather, and the
harvesting of wheat is seriously interrupted.

Judge Barnes.

WILMINGTON, June Is.
It is reported that Judge Barnes, who was
holding a special Court at Tarboro' last
week, adjourned the Court, because negroes
! were summoned as Jurors, saying that he
hadtaken an oath to support the State laws,
which do not recognize the right Of negroes
to sit on juries.
We clip the above telegram from the last
Sentinel. We are not authorized to speak for
Judge Barnes, or any other Judicial officer,
but we do not believe one word ofthe above
statement.

DEcADENCE or THE NEGRO RAcE.-A
circular from the Freedmenb Bureau, Wash
ington, gives information from Virginia and
South Carolina that intemperance among tho
freedmen is on the increase. A movement
is on foot in Washington city, having in
view thorough organization, 50 as to en-
able the colored peopleto exert all the power
possible to arrest this destructive vice. The
proneness of the Southern freedmen to in
Temperance, since their release from those
restraints to which they have been accus-
toned, is painfully apparent Nsso York
Journal Of Commerce.
We think the Journalof Commerce is mis-
taken. We believe the colored people are
as temperate now as when they were in
state of slavery. 1t is seldom that we see
one of them intoxicated. e
+ 1t is painfully apparent" that the Jour
nal Of Commerce is leaning to Copperhead-
ism, which is but another name for treason.
We do not say this because of the above ex-
tract but from a view of the general course
Of that paper. We are sorry to sec so able,
SO good, and so useful Journal thus falling
into bad associations Better that the bat
ties to suppress the rebellion had never been
fought than that the counsels of the Woods,
the Vallandighams, the Sharkeys, Perrys and
Others ofthat stripe should prevail IT. in other
words, the johnson, Stanbery faction should
prevail anarchy and disintegration must fol-
low, and with it total loss of the national
debt, with utter ruin to the Union whites
North and South, and q condition of peon-
age for the former slaves There is no hope
but in the Republican party. The party
South that made the rebellion, and the party
North that encouraged it as far as it dared,
are not in any respect calculated, whether
separated or united, to heal the wounds of
the country and restore the Union. $50

The Circuit Court---Highly Important
Decision.


Decision.
His Honor the Chief Justice delivered
yesterday very important opinion, in which
his Associate, Judge Brooks, concurred, to
the effect that citizens Of the pretended Con-
federate States who paid debts due North
ern. citizens into the hands of Confederate
Receivers, are not thereby discharged from
the debt The result is all such debts are
now collectable, and the parties who volun-
tarily paid, or who were forced to pay over
to Receivers, will have their remedy at law
against the Receivers, who are bound fol
funds thus inlawfully obtained.
The opinion, which is very able and con-
elusive upon every point embraced, will ap-
pear in our next.
''@ The Liquor Tax.
A friend writes us as follows from Eden
ton, Chowan County $50
Sour Legislature In its wisdom has seen
proper to levy tax of ten per cent on all
purchases of liquor, without making any
deduction for the U. s. Rev. tax Of 81,
which is already paid. Besides this, the
magistrates Of our county, met on the 1st
Monday in May, and levied tax upon the
same article, doubling that of the State, thus
compelling us to pay a back tax Of 80 per
cent upon all purchases of Liquor since the
1st of July, 1866. We think it very unjust,
that we should be compelled to pay tax
upon tax, and request that you will give
your opinion of the matter through your val
liable paper"
81 1t seems hard to be compelled thus to pay
tax on tax. We know of no remedy save
through the Courts. There seems to be a
conspiracy all round against ardent spirits,
while at the same time the consumption Of
it is not diminished The tax on whisky
and brandy, and the prohibition of the DIS
tillatlon of the former, operates very severely
on large portion of Western North Caro-
