That will be his first effort at speech

and there isn't tho least doubt but
what his twaddle on the occasi on

Republicans in the State.

THE TARIFF TAX.
A tariff is n tax which com,
pels a person to pay more for
am article than it is worth
And of all taxes the most OPP
pressive, insidious and odious
lis the tariff for what is called
protection. 1t is oppressive
because it mainly falls on Ia
bor; insidious, because it is
paid in the increased price of
the article, bought, without be.
ing seen; odious, because for
every dollar Of tariff tax which
goes into the treasury the peo-
pie are compelled to pay the
home manufacturer a bonus of
three dollars. Only one fourth
of the woolen goods used in
the United States are imported.
And for every four pair of
pants worn the stuff for only
one pair is manufactured
abroad, and for the other three
at home. On woolen goods
for pantaloons there is q tariff
tax of sixty cents on the dol.
lar. If the imported stuff to
make a pair costs three dollars,
the tax is $50, and the value
of the goods $l.2O. The home
manufacturer then adds sixty
cents on the dollar to the value
of his stuff for pantaloons, and
sells three times as much as is
imported, it follows that the
people pay him a bonus equal
to three times the amount paid
into the treasury on the same
materials, Deducting the tax
Of twenty millions on tea and
coffee, and we have LIFT a tariff
of about one hundred and six
ty millions. And assuming
that we consume three times
as much Of our own manufac-
lures as we import, it follows
that the same year we pay one
hundred and sixty millions in
to the Treasury as tariff, we
pay four hundred and eighty
millions to the home monopo,
list more than his good are
worth.
ApRoTECTIyE TARIFF IS OPPOSED
Between the States of the
Union we have absolute free
trade. The farmer sends his
products into Pennsylvania and
New York, his only cost being
that Of transportation. Sup
pose that he had to pay tax of
five cents q bushel upon deliv-
ering his wheat, where would
be his profit -?
Absolute free trade is not
proposed with other countries,
but we do propose a large re-
duction of the tariff.taX, and
thereby not only reduce taxa.
tioh, but the general price of
goods.
Commerce means the inter.
change of commodities. and
that system must be wise which
enables the people to sell the
surplus of their productions at
a good profit in a foreign coun-
try. But this must be mutual.
If we raise more wheat than
we can use and England makes
more goods than she can use, it
becomes our interest . to ex-
change the surplus Of our wheat
for o part Of the surplus Of her
goods, and we are both gamers.
She gets bread and we get
clothes. But our wheat and
her stuffs have to be carried
across the ocean, which requires
ships, and ships open to us the
trade of the world. Then,
Ohioans, which do you prefer
the interests of Ohio or of
Massachusetts, ?

Tie Test-Oath .

We recognize in the abolition of the
test oath by both Houses of Congress
one stcO towards ca1cclling political pro
scriptiona. When we consider the past
history OF the present Congress we see in
this simple act Of tardy and incomplete
Justice the change going on IN public SEN
timent Such q concession could never
have been wrung from the bitter partisans
who control Congress but from whole
some fear of public opinion. AS much Gs
they late the people of the South they
love position and power more. The effect
Of recent Northern elections is moro plain
" and forcibly shown in this action of
Congress than in any other way.
The BILL which passed both Houses of
Congress, provides that any person NOT
rendered ineligible by the Fourteenth
Amendment, who may be elected or APP
pointed to any Office Of honor or trust I'M
lel the United States, and shall not by
reason OF participation in the rebellion, -
be able to take the oath Of Office, common
" called the ''iron-clad oath" may, IN
lieu Of that, take the oath prescribed for
those who have received the Congressional
dissolution by IN act removing their disa-
| bilities.
! The effect of this bill will be to render
| al persons i'll the South eligible to federal
Office, except those who, previous to thewar,
| held official positions and afterwards par
| ticipated in the war, or gave aid and en-
cCura9cment thereto. This class of per
! sons are also rendered eligible by an acI
OF Congress removing their disabilities.
This is long step towards reconcilia
ton and good feeling. 1t is the hardin
ger of better things. Even this act, in
complete as it is, will heal many of the
wounds Of the war.
| After the passage OF this bin we canuo
believe that majority Of both Houses car
be forced by party demands or Executive
! Establishments to uproot reconstruction
We DO not believe that this act Of justice
Will be followed by ono more outrageous
and violent than all the others which hav'
disgraced the legislation of Congress sine
the war. IN the repeal of the test-oatl
We have the death-knell Of political pro
s3ription. The counter revolution has Sc
il. Thuse who attempt to oppose its re
. estless power will be swept away. Radi
calism has abandoned its foremost an
strongest position. Its retreat will nov
} be hasty and disorderly. Its early an
final overthrow is at hand. May Heave
hasten the day.

CuriOsItIcs or English LAW

A London barrister, Mr.. A. V. Dicey,
has been showing Englishmen the absur-
dities and contradictions of their common
law. His experience and illustrations are
contained in a book entitled A Treatise on
the Rules for the Selection of the Parties
to an Action-and among the curiosiiies
mentioned are the following
The obstruction of highway is consid-
cred to cause peculiar damage to q mau
whom it impedes in his business, bat none
to man whom IL I'M lures in his trade
The owner Of dog Is not liable for its
biting other men, unless he knew Of it's
fierceness, but without any such knowledge
he is liable for its biting cattle. Ii horse
is allowed to stray, and it kicks a child,
the owner is net liable, for :" it is not the
ordinary course of the nature of O horse to
kick child" But If horse strays into Il
field and kicks another mans horse, the
owner is liable, because, we presume, it is
the ordinary course of the nature of horse
to kick another horse. If a man builds
chimneys which must smoke in q certain
direction, and another man lights fires
which cause smoke to go up the chimneys,
any damage caused by smoke must be
made good by the man who lighted the Tres
not by the man who built the chimneys.
| tradcsman sold man lamp which
was to be used by the man g wife. The
lamp was SO badly made that it exploded,
and the mans wife was injured. It was
held that she could not recover Another
salesman sold a man some hair wash, 10 be
used by the mans wife. The hair-wash
was so badly made that the mans wife was
injured. 1t was held that she could re-
cover. In some of these cases the extreme
subtlety of the distinctions causes an ap-
parent contradiction, while it is hard to
say that either is wrongly decided. IF q
man agrees to build house his death does
not put an end to the contract, but il does
if he agrees to build lighthouse. Again,
| the question whether q husband has re-
duced his wife's property into possession
or not has given rise to very fine distinc
tions. In one case, Il wife's trustee had
paid the wife the rent of some property
settled on her, and had borrowed q part of
the money so paid. It was held that this
money was reduced into possession by the
husband, and that after his wife's death he
might recover it from the trustee. In
another case, q man who had received
money for O wife wrote to her and told
her that he held the money at her disposal.
1t was held that after the wife's death this
money did not pass to the husband.
Another question of some difficulty 10
whether servant who is sent by his master
to sell horse can warrant the horse 80 as
to bind his master. The servant of q
horse dealer can bind his master by a
warranty. even though his master has for
hidden him to warrant. A servant sent to
sell horse at fair, and not authorized
to warrant, q servant sent to sell horse
at Tattersalrs, and authorized to give
limited warranty, were also held to bind
their masters. But when one man applied
to another for n horse, and the owner Of
the horse sent it by his farm bailiff, the
farm bailiffs warranty was held not to
bind the owner.

fair and just, it may be we'll TO state. that
this body has passed bill to pay the per-
t{ieHI and mileage Of the witnesses for the

any and all benefits the law allows to the

Mr.. Holden may rest assured that he will

for if justice is done him. he will never

The Legislative business OF the Senate

further debate or loss of time.

The Terms of Peace.

JULES FAvRE, the accredited Commits
eioner on the part of the Provisional Gov
eminent of France, and Count Won BIS
MARCK, representing Prussia, have had a
formal interview in reference to the capt.
tnIation of Paris. Tho great question was
"a to the cession Of territory. This has
bacn The stumbling block from the first.
It il against dismembcrment, which the
French lave for months been contondlng
for almost without hope. 1t IS tins which
has led 10 the intense struggle which las
inst ended, And this the struggle has
determined. II. EAvEE readily agreed TO
t,e money indemnify. but opposed any
territorial loss. The Count BIsMAEck IN
sisted upon this as essential to selt-protec-
ticr. and ag rendering any fortified iron
tier useless. This was placed as the uItl-
nat,lD1. N. EAyHE finally yielded, ana
Paris cap;tua.od upon the following terms,
which the Republic accepted, subject to
ratification by the National Assembly ~
the annexation OF Aieac0 ana German Lor-
raino to Prussia ; (2) the payment q

The people of France are to be lett IN
trammcIled both as to their National As

government. These may not be the pre-

They may, and probably in some minor
respects, will be modified. At any rate
the war may be regarded as over. and the
propositions thus agreed upon will, to al
effect, he the final basis of the peace.

RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. LIST, 1871.

Dea1. Journal The High Court of I'M
parchment, now in session, has attracted to
this city quite a number of visitors, who
most anxiOusly watoh its proceedings,
which of course must excite TN unusual
degree of interest in the minds of all the
citizens Of the State. The Court convened
on Monday, the Both ult., when the Mana
gers obteined leave to amend the With
Article, by the insertion Of the name OF
"John 3. Neathery' inoteed of " Il. G.
Berry," as the paymaster os AirL's tcoops.
This amendment, though uDimrortant and
trif1ing and in no way ipjuring the de-
fence, was vet seized rs an excuse by the
Respondent to ask ior farther time to pre-
pare tho answer, and the Senate, anxious
to extend every courtesy and favor to the
accused, and to avoid any appearance
whatever of forcing hurried trial, very
considerably postponed the trial until to-
day, at which time the Counsel for the de-
fence filed the amended answer OF about O
dozen lines, denying IN toto the Article
as amended. The Managers, eager to
avoid Il useless waste of time and money
instead of asking for two days las did the
defenc e) in which to file their replication
| to the answer as amended, only required
the short space Of fifteen minutes.
The whole time CT the Court to-day was
consumed in the discussion - to whether
| Col Edwards, who has successfully con
| tested the seat of Lassiter, from Granville,
! could qualify as one of the Court. The
point raised really seemed too absurd fol
| debate, but wRs 11ost earnestly insisted
upon by the defence, but the Chief JUS
tice, after long and able argument, oyer
| ruled the objection and Mr.. Edwards was
duly qualified.
Upon motion of Mr.. Graham, of Orange,
and after protracted discussion by the
defence in Directing thereto, the Chiel

HENRY BERRY LowERY AGAIN AT WORK.
We learn from the RobeSoniae that this
noted outlaw went to the house of Mr..
David Townsend, in Robson county, du-
ring MIR. Townsend's absence OF Monday
last, in the broad light of open day. 81 o
entered the dwelling and ransaeked it,
taking all the firearms that he could find
several guns and pistols. His manner and
language during the robbery we're insolent
and defiant, and insulting messages for
Mr.. Townsend were left.
After remaining as long as it suited him,
he went publicly to the house of Mr.. Nc
Kenzie, in the same neighborhood, and
was there equally insolent and insulting,
Boosting at both places of the force at his
command, and his Pc wer to enforce his ar
bitrary demands.
Again We ask, where are Gen. Mellow
ellis spare troops?
