Kew Hanover Faxes.

I'm acknowledging 10 our late RcpIe-
sentative, Captain 5. n. Asnr, or obliga
tions to him for copy of the Auditors
Report, We suggested that it contained
some interesting reading matter, which we,
from time to time, expected to furnish our
patrons. We Intend to keep our promise.
This morning, however, we shall begin
its fulfllment by referring to what is
omitted rather than what is contained
therein. We suppose the people Of New
Hanover, if they are compelled to pay
very Onerous taxes, would at least like
very much to have the poor privilege Of
getting legal receipt therefor-the assur-
ance that it found its way into the Treas
ury, even if wasted or stolen afterwards.
In looking over this Report we turned
very naturally to the return from New
Hanover, made by our Sheriff. We see
that he paid into the Treasury thirty-two
thousand four hundred and eleven dollars
and ninety cents. But there is not single
cent paid atpo11 cOtored pollS-reOt q single
cent paid for deeds an trust, deeds Of real
estate, and mortgage deeds. We turn
to the little county Of Brunswick, our
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1872-05-03

nciohbor. and we find that four hundred
and seventy-seven dollars and forty cents
has been paid upon cOlored polls. In the
little Conservative county OF Onslow,
where there are comparatively few negroes,
we find three hundred and one dollars and
forty cents paid upon cololed polls, ana
thirty five dollars upon deeds. In Duphn,
another white Conservative county, there
was paid six hundred and eighty-three
dollars and ten cents upon colored polls'
and one hundred and segen dollars ana
eiohtv-seven cents upon deeds. In Samp
Gov, onotber white Conservative county,
,,a find seven hundred and seventy-slx
dollars and sixty cents paid upon colored
.noIls. and forty-five dollars and seventy-hVe
cants upon deeds. In Columbus, still
another white Conservative county, there
was paid four hundred and twenty-tour
dollars and sixty-eight cents on colored
nolIs and fifteen dollars on deeds.
These are our Conservative neighbors.
And in New Hanover there are more
negroes subject to poll tax than IN all OF
them. and we suppose there were more
deeds registered than in all the rest, and
vet there is not one cent returned as having
been paid into the Public Treasury from
this county from either of these sources
There is evidently {" something rotten Ill -

An Historical Date.

The day on which the Cincinnati Con-
era in the history Of this Republic. For
eleven long and weary years the Consttu-
ton has suffered the assaults Of treacherou
friends DIS we'll as open enemies, until it has
become almost dead letter. Sectional
legislation Of the most Ubiquitous and vim
dictive character has oppressed one-half
of the country to crafty the hatred and
satiate the cupidity of demagogues and
fanatics. A centralized military despo-
tism threatens to take the place Of
the wisely limited executive power
contemplated by the Constitution. If
the party which has already commit
ted SO many usurpations, is allowed to go
OH unrebuked for another Presidential
term, the character of this government will
be permanently changed, for it is now al
ready too late to undo all the evils which
has been accomplished. There are turn
ing points, fated moments, III the life of
Nations as we'll as ofindividuais. This week
is destined to prove one Of those momen-
tous epochs. A wise selection at Cincin-
natl will free the country from the yoke of
an unscripul0us party whose chiefaim has
been to secure the spoils Of Office regardless
of National welfare.
There is a distinctive feature about this
Convention. 1t is an expression Of the
sentiment Of the genuine people. Mere
politicians will not be able to maintain it
as they used to do the regular party Con-
vention; cut-anddried resolutions, wire
pulling to pit against each other two dis
tinguished candidates, until they are so
evenly balanced that it is impossible to
nominate either, and the only resource is
to fall back upon some obscure individual
whose only merit lies i'll the hope Of his
being the ready tocl Of his supporters. All
this hOncycd manOuvring viii be at Il dis
count, and we may trust that the action of
the Convention will be faithful reflex of
the popular mind.
1t is yet too early to venture any predic-
Judge Stanley Matthews, unanimously
chosen as temporary chairman, IN his re-
marks upon taking the chair, alluded to a
significant fact. The men composing the
Convention have shown their disinterested
patriotism by cutting loose from a success
full party. The honorable Judge might
have added that it is a rare thing in these
days of backslding for turncoats always
60 over. to the winning side. Among the
members of the Cincinnati Convention are
many who had only to name their price to
receive the richest prizes of the govern
ment. This is a promising sign and gives
good ground to hope that this reign of cor
ruptions approaching its end.

The Oyster Traffic of Baltimore.

a Baltimore correspondent gives some
interesting facts in regard TO the oyster
traffic III that city. There are twenty
seven establishments devoted exclusive
ly to the packing business. In one,
over six hundred colored men are EN-
ployed in opening oysters. Sometimes
as many as 10000 bushels are opened in
a day, packed in ice, or picked, and
sent 10 all parts Of the world. Large
quantities packed In ice 20 TO San Fran
cisco, where, if the weather prove favor.
able, they arrive fresh and delicious.
The oysters from Chesapeake Bay are
celebrated and highly esteemed all over
the country, and it is hardly possible to
supply the demand for them. The New
York oyster, so we'll known, was origi-
nally obtained from the Chesapeake.
There is a great variation in the guam
tity and quality of the oyster crop, as
in that of fruit, though why there should
be that variation none can tell. Last
year, the oysters were remarkably fine
and very numerous. Superior qualities
could be bought for $3.50 per barrel
This season the crop is comparatively
small, and correspondingly poor in
quality. The superior kinds cannot be
bought for less than s. per barrel.
Some of the oyster beds are located in
very salt water, others in quite fresh.
Before sending the salt water oyster to
market, he Is taken from his briny bed
and " dumped y into fresh water, TO lie
for twenty-four hours. This process in
creases the bulk of the oyster, which
CT l..
and, although a number are lost, an ac-
tual gain of % per cent. is made by the
operation. The same thing, with the
same effect, is done with the fresh water
oysters, which are given saline bath OF
twenty hours. SO great is the repu.
tation OF the Baltimore oyster that a
company in London sent, at great ex-
pense, vessel there last fall to pur.
chase oysters for planting at the mouth
of the Thames. II was the first time
anything of the kind was ever tried.
The vessel remained in port about six
weeks, and left with $4,000 bushels OF
Chesapeake Bay oysters in her hold.
OF course great many will be spoiled
before the vessel reaches London, and
some of the old oystermen aver that
none will live, because there are SO
many together that they can't breathe,
and, consequently, will be smothered
before land is reached-a sort Of ''Black.
Hole-of-Calcutta" arrangement Should
the experiment prove successful, it will
inaugurate the establishment of a regu.
lar line of vessels exclusively in the
oyster business. The prospect of such
drain upon the great oyster beds OF
Maryland and Virginia already fills de-
pendent oystermen with forebodings OF
an oyster famine, while the more hope
full laugh at the thought of it being
possible to exhaust the almost incalcu
liable quantity of the bivaves.

A Practical Joke with Fatal Ending.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer. March 2.
At the corner OF Seventh and Cullen
street, New Years night, party of
colored men gathered. Most of them
were under the influence of liquor, and
behaved in a disorderly manner, and
appeared to be ready for any practical
joke. David Butler, one of the party,
rendered himself conspicuous by flour
ishing a revolver. While the party was
thus congregated colored man hap
pened to pass on the other side of the
street. Upon his head was new dress
hat. This attracted the attention of the
party, and one of them drew a revolver
and said: "Now, boys, see how nice
III plug hole in that hat" They told
him to go ahead. He did so, and the
unfortunate man dropped to the pave
ment, bleeding feariully from a wound
in the neck. As soon as the crowd saw
the mischief which had been done they
dispersed. The injured man, whose
name was John A. Brown, was removed
to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where he
died from his wound Tuesday last.
Yesterday morning David Butler, who,
it is believed, fired the shot, went to the
Central Station and gave himself into
custody. lie stated that he wanted to
stand trial.
