The New Provost Court.

We published last week the order of Gen Candy,
establishing Provost Court Raleigh to try certain
cases that may arise in 81 counties of the State in
Guiding Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus and lredell.
The order appoints Col John I. Deweese, of Raj
eigh as Judge and limits his jurisdiction in accor-
dance with Paragraph III, General Orders No. L.
We tried last week to get General Order No Is so as
to publish the paragraph alluded to along with the
order establishing the Court but failed to do So and
therefore insert it for public information this week
The order authorizing the Court says it shall have
jurisdiction in the counties named of all civil
lin which the amount in controversy does not exceed
three hundred dollars and of all offences, not under
the Articles of War, which may be referred to 1t by
the Post Commander, except murder, manslaugher,
assault with intent to KILL violation of the laws
against dueling, perjury, rape and arson This
Jurisdiction is further restricted by Paragraph II of
General Orders No. Is, to all civil cases arising with
in that Post in which the amount in controversy
does not exceed $500 and to all Offences not under
the Articles of War; which may be referred to it by
the Post Commander, with the exceptions aforesaid.
Paragraph ii, General Orders No Is, is in the fol-
| lowing words:
..No Provost Court will entertain jurisdiction OF
any case nor will any Post Commander refer any
case for trial by any such Court unless II shall APP
pear to the satisfaction of the Post Commander and
shall be certified by him, either:
|. That the case involves matters of difference be-
tween employer and employed respecting rights
| under provisions of military orders:
,. That the proper State authorities have refused
or unreas onably failed unable to take action
needful for the protection of persons property;
B. That there is good ground for believing, upon
facts shown, which must be preserved of record thai
impartial Justice cannot be secured in the State
Courts. by reason of prejudice on account of race
color or former condition.
So it will be seen that the Post Commander Raj
eigh will have file pretty strong and broad Ger
tifcate, before the Provost Court can enter on h
trial of case. We hope this restriction may pre-
vent the Court having much business to transact.

The Recent Storm.

Thursday morning the 10th, was the occasion OF
one OF the most severe storms known In this
country at this season of the year, eliminating
in a freshet which Carried devastation in It's track
and only equalled in severity by the we'll remem-
bered freshct of 1868. From about 0 clock a.
H., the lightning flashes and peals of thunder
were incessant, whilst the rain descended IN
continuous flood.
On the day preceding the storm, Wednesday,
10Th inst, about l o'clock, p m, a hurricane,
extending over belt of200 yards in width,
passed along portions of Henry county, Va, and
buckingham county, \. G., carrying devastation
in its course Near Leaksville and Wentworth,
y, c.. it seems to have been most severe. Hun
dreds of pannels of fence seemed but paper IN
its course. and rails as straws were blown, III
some instances as far as 40 and 80 yards. Near
Leaks1ille, the frame dwelling house, corn-crlb
and dairy of Mr. Thomas Ragland were utterly
destroyed, and log school house in the iInme-
date vicinity was blown down. Miss Lane, the
teacher with the children, were in the house at
the time and nliraculously escaped with few
bruises-one child, boy Of eight years, son OF
Mr. Ragland, however, lad his leg broken. The
destruction of the house is complete The
school house was built Of logs averaging 10 IN
ches in thickness and some of them were blown
20 and % yards from the house. AT Wentworth
one or two houses were unroofed and the church
steeples considerably damaged.-DonrWe leg

Constitution AMI the election Of MIR Holden and the

three DAYS to count the votes in counties, the
returns received considered entirely reliable,

T,xAr1oH-There is feature about the new
Constitution which we did not discover until just
before the election 1t is the limit to the power to
tax property. The first section Of the article on
Revenue and Taxation declares
The General Assembly shall levy capitation tax
on every male nhabitant of the State over u years
and under 30 years of age, rhch shat be re Al on
each TO tie tar on property ualed at three A""drcd dot
lar. IN CASH The commissioners of the several coun-
ties may exempt from capitatlon tax in special cases
on account of poverty and infrmity on" me of"fc
and County cpitaon taG c0n6cd St"ft HerfT efcee@
ftr0 d0kdrS on the head.
According the above language not more than
two dollars be put on three hundred dollars
worth property for both State and county purposes
which wonld be GGa cents the 500 value. We
are satisfied that this is the meaning of the section,
notwithstanding of our prominent men
have asserted the contrary. We know that some
prominent members of the Conservative party agree
with us that there is Il limit to the taxing power,
though they opposed the ratification of the Consttu-
lion ON other grounds than the taxation matter
With this restriction taxation, and the fact that
NIL white men can hereafter vote, we don't think we
nrc badly hurt if the Constitution is adopted.
hoy We direct attention to the Freight adVertlse-
mcnt of the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad.
Also TO the notice of the Collector of Internal
Revenue in this District.

Governor Worth.

1t is little remarkable that the name Of Gov
Worth has scarcely been mentioned in the late
paign in this State. We never voted for Gov. ORTIZ
but is due to him to say that he has discharged his
duties faithfully and fairly, that neither party
could find good cause for complaint The fact is
Jonathan Worth is an honest man; and although he
is an od-line Wing of the sraitest sect, while we
claim to be nothing but old-line Democrat of the
original panal, we cannot but admire his straight
forwardness in acting as the Chief Executive of
North Carolina.
We presume that Gov. Worth has but little faith in
the ability of the parties that have sprung up
during and since the war, to settle national difficult
ties, and probably believes that things viii get
right until the country acts upon and adopts the
principles of the old Wing party, for the wing party
acaS party Of prineple) while we believe that the
rights Of the States and the people will never be
respected and maintained until the principles of the
old Democratic party engrafed on the policy of
the Government-we mean the principles of that
party in regard to States Rights, Tariff Banking and
Expenditures by the General Government. The war
settled the question against the right of State to
secede and against slavery but not against the gen
eral rights of the separate States
But it was not to talk about old parties that we
commenced this article, 1--WE may have something to
say on that subject hereafter it merely to pay
what we consider a deserved compliment to Gov
Worth for the faithful manner in which ne has dis
charged his duties Governor in times of great trial
and perplexity. His term of office may soon end,
and therefore do not consider it improper to al
lude to him at this time honest pure-minded
public officer. We have received no favors from
Gov Worth, and don't ask expect any, but as a
man who always differed with him in politics, we
are disposed to give him cor any other man the
credit he is entitled to.

(naSculine) on which is packed the responsibility
for all evil deeds has organized secret societies and
managed their operations; but now, customs are

Cabarrus was in session. We attended Friday,
and were gratifed toWeet many old and valued
friends. The people of Cabarrus have always pat

The white men of that county generally lnelll-

We were little amused at contest between the
lawyers in case where a negro man was charged

differ when they on opposite sides. Gen Bar

while H. c. Jones, Esq, of Charlotte (who, by the
