The latest COAX out, is on two Radical
magistrates in this county. There had
been a regular ''fist and skull, rough and
tumble row between several parties some
time during the summer, and those magis
trates issued warrants for the arrest of the
law breakers. The parties were duly ar
rested and brought before the wisdom of
the township. There was sufficient evil
dence to convict, but in the perplexities OF
the published and unpublished laws, these
highly respectable expounders of the law
came to the conclusion that, "as the par
ties had not informed against themselves.
no one else had the right to return them, +"
of prosecution, and dismissed the case, to
the great relief of the parties concerned

HAYWOOD SUPERIOR COURT. We clip
the following from the Ashville Farmer of
the 7th inst:
Tn the curious case of State as. Fortune,
poor fellow who had been moving
through the county of Haywood with his
team, a COW and calf, &C., and had been
arrested upon warrant sued out at the
| instance of one Smith, for the larceny Of q
single chicken, the Grand Jury Ignored
the bill sent by the Solicitor. aud recon-
mended that the prosecutor be taxed the
costs They also prosecuted Smith and
one McFalls for conspiracy. The Solicitor,
Gen. r. nj. Henry. promptly drew the bill
and sent it before the Grand Jury with the
witnesses, whereupon true bill was
found against them, and returned into
Court His Honor had McFalls and Smith
called. they being in town, and recognized
them to appear at the next Court in the
sum of $500 each. good and sufficient Sc

Vaccination.

A remarkable contribution to the con-
troversy now in progress as to the merits
of vaccination is furnished by an official
body in Ireland. The Poor-law Commits.
sioners there have, it seems, info rmed the
Belfast Board of Guardians that small
pox has altogether ceased in the sister
country. This result the commissioners
attribute the careful carrying out of the
Compulsory Vaccination act enforced in
Ireland since 1868. The figures are very
striking. Before that year the deaths
from smallpox average one thousand en-
nually; in 1864 the number was reduced to
854; in 1866, it was BAT; in 1866, 1877; in
1867, 90; and in 1868 only 10 deaths oc-
Cured. In the first quarter of 1869
there were three deaths; in the second
quarter there were none. These state
ments are so far most satisfactory. In the
interest of science and of the public health,
however, it is to be hoped that we shall
obtain some supplementary information
showing what measures were adopted to
obtain pure lymph, and whether, in the
estimation of medical men in Ireland, any
other cause had share in promoting the
happy result.

greater. This effect, however, will be but
temporary, as, when the facts are under
stood, the credit of the State will revive.
In conclusion, have to say that regard
the special tax bonds of the State especially
as safe investment for such persons as
are seeking that class of securities. The
attacks now directed against them, whether
made for political effect or to put down
the price so that parties here can buy them
up at low figures, and thereby make large
profits, will not in the end seriously affect
their value.
AS shall leave the city to-day, you will
excuse my saying that have no personal
interest in these questions, neither owning
any bonds. nor having since the war been
engaged, either directly or Indirectly, in
selling them.
Respectfully yours, &C.,

At the same time he warned his hesrers not to

and wealth to large population, should
be compelled to extend this letter to great
length. content myself with saying, there
fore. that there is not the slightest doubt
that she is abundantly able to discharge
all her obligations. On the second point,
viz: her willingness to do so, I have little
to say.
It will be seen from the above statement
that the Special Tax Debt is on such q
footing that its payment does not depend
upon the action of any future Legislature,
and that it can only be gotten rid of by o
revolutionary movement which would
overthrow the present State Constitution.
Since the result of the last Presidential
lation exists in the State. Those who are
dissatisfied with certain features in the
new Constitution expect only to change
them in the mode in which State Constitu-
tons are usually amended. No alterations
so made will affect the validity of the
bonds, the payment of which is secured
by these special taxes. The old bonds of
the State have not this advantage, and
may not be as promptly provided for.
The people of the State generally are
| satisfied that it would in the end cost
more money to repudiate debt than to
pay it.
The suggestions of certain papers in
North Carolina, republished occasionally
in this city, that the whole or portions OF
the debt ought to be repudiated, have
certainly injured the State considerably by
depressing the price of the bonds and
causing a loss of money, in the first place
to the railroad companies, and secondly to
the State
But for this undoubtedly more money
would have been raised by the sale of the
securities, aud the ability of the corpora
tons to finish the works would have been
