HIS POLICY.
That Governor Swain dld not believe in
the above theory, concerning small and
select colleges, may be inferred at once
from the enlargement that in a few Years
took place in every department at the Uni
versity under his control. His first step
was to put himself en- rapport with the
Board of Trustees so as to feel quite sure
of their support in all cases He next
secured the entire control Tor himself and
his colleagues OF the domestic manage
nent and discipline of the Institution
Such was the confidence felt in him, i'll his
purity OF intention, his integrity, his abil-
ity and his profound good sense, that the
Board Of Trustees, by degrees, committed
everything to his administration. He de-
manded, among other things, that no man
should be appointed to any chair in the
Faculty except with his full concurrence
land that of his colleagues). The venera-
b!e Duncan Cameron rose and seconded
him, saying that the Captain of vessel
ought to be allowed to pick his own crew.
In 1888 the Faculty numbered nine. The
students were 164. Below this they never
fell again, but advanced steadily till the
Faculty numbered sixteen, and the stu
dents were $50.

The HANGING OF THE DITCHER MUIR
DERERs. doubt is entertained of the
hanging of the three Ditcher murderers at
Halifax on Friday next. Gus Baker, Jim
Thomas and George Bayline will thus be
made to pay the penalty of murder, COM
mitted in this place some twelve months
since, which in its atrocious character
and cold-blooded nature shocked the com
munity. They have but little il any SYM
pathy from their own color, the darkies
here at the time of the murder being to q
great extent instrumental in the bringing
the guilty men to the bar Of Justice. We
learn that they are now engaged in making
preparations for death. Baker remains the
most obstinate of the three, still entertain
ing, we presume, some hope of an escape
from death in some way. He, however,
has expressed to the Sheriff wishes regard
ing the disposal of his body after being
hung.
The prisoners will be hung in an en-
closed wall, at the Jail at Halifax, on Fri
day next, between the hours OF twelve and
one. Only a limited number of persons
will be allowed to be witnesses to tho hang
ing, though we naturally expect the occa-
sion to draw together considerable num-
ber Of the negro population.

Wednesday morning of last week, a little

DAVID MUMMY, Esq, Fayetteville, N. C.
DEAR SIR Yours of 18th instant received. The
Constitution requires that all real and personal
property in the State shall be taxed. except that
the General Assembly exempt not over $500 worth
of certain articles named. The General Assem-
bly, actually exempted 5000 worth of those arti-
cles. Now, how can this plain provision be
avoided ? I cannot see. | will be obliged
to any one to show me. You point to two
sections in your opinion, authorizing ex-
omptions of "family supplies" First, you quote
sec5 on II, paragraph 5, that only means that
when man has rented out house or land the
rent accruing for the current year, shall not be
paragraph does not speak Of tangible property at
all, but only of credits, l. @. bonds. notes, &c
You will have to make black mean aC'tite and Uice
UerSG, before you can make " rent acCruing for
the current year mean corn, bacon, &C., owned
by man who has never tented his farm at all.
2dIy. You think family supplies" are exempt
ed under paragraph CT section IL. That is just
as distorted construction the other. Para
graph speaks Of annual income an money not of
property at all. That paragraph mercy says
that when a farmer pays tax on his farm, &c, he
need not pay tax on his income from his farm,
&C., &C., so also q merchant, who pays license
tax on his business need not pay income tax on
the receipts of his trade-so billiard table keep
er who pays license for keeping table need not
pay an income tax the receipts from lis table,
&c, &o.
It is impossible to hold that an exemption from
income tax likewise eXempts from property tax
without absurdity.
Your ideas about any5odys being ruined by
this tax ara entirely erroneous. 1t will not be
heavy enough to hurt anybody. 1t sis the law,
and have no power to authorize plain breach
of the law.
Very respectfully,

Hon. /. G. LASH, Salem, N. c.
DEAR SIR Yours Of 18th inst ant Is received.
BY the Nationsi Banking law as amended OF
rather explained, by act Of Congress approved
February 10th, 1868, shares of stock in National
Banks may be taxed as other monied capital, and
the shares OF ofnon-residents may be likewise taxed,
Whererthe Bank is located.
Our law provides that shares of stock in COM
panies which themselves pay the tax need not be
listed.
The act Of February 10th, 1868, provides that
such State may determine and direct the manner
and place of taxing all the shares of National
Banks.
Our State has not made any suck special di-
rectiOn, and we must therefore determine what
the State tax on National Banks is under the gen.
efai provisions of the Revenue act. BY Para
graph 6, Section r. page Il, you will see that the
share holders must list the value Of their shares
unless the Bank pays tax on it's property. lfyour
Bank lists all its property the share bolder will
be exempt.
In my opinion it will be best for your Bank to
list in the aggregate st their value, all the shares
Of the Bank, owned by residents or non-residents.
Ii the Bank does not list the shares then clearly
it is the duty Of such stockhOder 10 list his
own.

La ger Beer.

The New York lager beer sellers and
drinkers are making an effort to have that
popular beverage exempted from the oper-
atoms of the excise law. The Albany ar
gus has this sensible article on the subject:
lit is the desire of the different temper
ance organizations throughout the country
to promote the interests Of their cause, we
think that they are making grave mistake
in denouncing the attempt of member of
the legislature to have that refreshing bev-
erage, lager beer, exempted from the
stringent provisions of the excise law.
which now applies to it, as well as to the
more spirituous and deleterious LIQUIDS.
The less whisky our people consume, the
greater our advance toward temperance,
and las 1T has been abuneantly proved in
other countries,) the more popular beer
and light wines become, the less spirituous
liquor Is either desired or consumed. The
light wines OF France and Italy, and the
beer ofGermany, have done more for the
temperance cause in those countries, than
all the prohibitory laws which could ever
be enacted will do in this. A case of
drunkenness is Of very rare occurrence on
the continent OF Europe, where the people
are by no meaus believers in the total
abstinence principle. So long as human
nature remains the same, SO long will the
conviyial nature of man require some such
stimulant, and if his desires can be satisfied
50 harmlessly as by moderate indulgence
In lager beer, we shall be fortunate indeed.
This description of beer may be intoxicat.
ing, but it has been clearly demonstrated
that there are few men with sufficient cap
acity to be able to got drunk on it. Let
our temperance friends become more
practical and they will see very distinctly
that their true interests lie in the encourage
ment of the more innocent beverages in
order to remove the taste for those of
stronger and more hurtful nature.
