An extraordinary and terrible accident oc-
Cured at the Northern Central Car Works In
Southport yesterday afternoon. The particu-
lars are As follows.
Locomotive No. Ga arrived from the north

snrsr Spinner has made the following
rulings relative to business transactions
"ii't The sd q partasnt cad rsdql qlgm notsp only

by assistant treasurers and iepositaEies
ia pay mant of all coin dues to the United
States, or by collectors of customs for
customs only. Tho authority for col
,ecting semi.annuul duty from tho ma
Ftfonar banks is contained in the first sec.
tion OF the national currency Act. Tho
Government has not taxed any bonds OF
its own issue possessed by national
banks; but has, under The law, collected
IN July and January OF each y. .ar-frst.
ON the average amounts Of notes in cir.
cnlation, ,ons-half of one per cent. So
.oond, on the average amount of deposits.
excepting deposits to tue credit of the
Treasurer Of the United States, one
quarter OF one per cent; THIRD. on the
capital stock in excess of the United
States bonds held by the Treasurer for
the bank or owned by it. one. quarter of
one per cent.
Tue plain Intent of the law, as it
stands, is to require this duty to be p.id
by the national banks, without uuy
reference to the kinds or classes OF
United States bonds owned by them.
and thero can be no rebuilding Of such
duty on account of the possession Of se-
curities Of tho new Eve per cent. loan,
nor any cessation of payment hereafter
without further Legislation ON thu sub

the United States for legal tender notes
III sums less than three dollars; is re-.
ceivable in sums not less than Eve dol

and in payment Of any dues to the
Uuited States except customs. There is
no provision of the law or regulation
for the payment Of compound Interest

ACTION BY THE GOVERNMENT DEMAND.
BD-DRIFT OF PUBLIC OPINION The
American claims against England exotic
more and more attention every day, and
We may safely predict that unless the
Government take direct course in deal
ing With these claims direct course
will be. taken with the Government.
Popular opinion is capable OF going to
great lengths in matters of this kind and
its drift. if not its full volume, ie manifest
already. To-day, however. we have no
intention of discussing the scope or the
validity of the claims. That We leave to
another occasion; but there is one cir
cnmstance Herewith connected which
deserves special notice. We know by
recent exposures how desperately 7ensl,
how prone to audacious organized job
berry, are too many American legislators
and officers of State, even among the
higher and more influential grades.
Now, it isa matter of common rhmor
that men OF this kind have brought up
the "American claims generically known
as Alabama claims" right and left. From
all that we know of political life in the
United States there isL nothing at all i'm
probable in these reports1!on the con
'rAry, the probability is that they are
trne. But If 80, then we may infer that
the American case is regarded as pretty
strong one on the other side Of the At
lantic. and that it has become tho in
terest OF certain number Of public men
to support it to the utmost.

tbsre Is no money id faIhing in South
Carolina with the present system of
labors 4xcept under the most advanta-
geous circumstances. Six years expert
ment has demonstrated that proposition
beyond all question; for there are not
to-day one-fourth of the planters who
arc not in worse condition, pec9nierily,
than they were at the besipnilg Of the
year 1856. Before the war even. the
estimated increase OF money invested
in farming was only two per cent, and
now. the profits are still less. and
in most cases nothing at all; and yet
this Radical sheet has the impudent
assurance to advise, or at any rate ex-
cuse, tax Of two or three per cent. The
indications are. too. that tax of at least
two per BENT. viii sbs levied this year.
and when, as result of such oppression,
the industrial interests of the State
suffers, real estate falls still lower, and
the people complain. We will be enlight-
ehed again By this man of the Union
with fine spun theori.s Of "the effect Of
Democratic violence" It is their game
to howl Ku Klnx to the darkies while
they pile the taxes on the whites.

Frequent mention has been made in
these columns OF the reign OF terror
established in Robson County, North
Carolina, by the band OF outlaws under
command Of the muiatto Henry Lowrey.
Since these desperadoes began their
career they have committed at least
fifteen murders, repeated ,arsons and
thefts and outrages innumetable. Nearly
$4,000 has been offered for their cap
ture, yet not only has not ono of them
ever been punished. but they appear at
railway depots, country stores and post
offices, secure from even an attempt at
arrest. Which would have been the bet
ter-that the power of United Stat. g
bayonets should have been used to break
up the camp OF these murderers and
felons whose guilt is unquestionel, or
for the arrest Of citizens of the neighbor-
ing State Of South Carolina, whose COM
plicity in Kn Klux outragcs was ut best
but doubtful? Was the influence of the
Federal Government 30 directed because
the conviction of the white citizens Of
South Carolina would servo admirable
purpose rs partisan capital. while the
dispersion OF Lowroy 3 gang would break
up force which has bccn before used to
control elections? Certainly this solu-
ton OF the problem Of Henry Lowrey 8
sacred immunity would be in thorough
keeping with the policy hitherto main
tained toward the unfortunate South.

FoRNEY's REsIGNATION-THE MILK IN
THE CocoANUr.. The Baltimore Sun'scor-
respondent offers this explanation Of
Forney's resignation of tho Philadelphia
collectorship:
1.-The resignation OF Colonel Forney,
as collector OF Philadelphia. has created
positive sensation in poltica! quarters
here, whore the motive is attributed very
generally to growing hostility to Presi-
dent Grant While Forney is very care
ful to state that he will not oppose the
reelection Of Grant, if Re il re-nomi-
mated. it nevertheless appears that he
has decided to cut loose from the Repub-
licnn ring of Office holders in Philadel-
phia. who arc something on the Tam
many order, and who are all supporting
the administration. and proposes to join
the Republican reformers in driving
these uilico- holders ont Of power. The
former element attempted to dictate to
Colonel Forney what course he should
pursue in the recent important senate
rial election in Philadelphia. whereupon
ho sent word to the President that his
resignation was at his disposal. The
President sont word in return that lie
did not want it. but Colonel Forney made
up his mind that lie preferred to remain
uutram leled, and therefore sent his
resignution in writing. Tho President
will reply tomorrow declining to accept
tho same. but Mr.. Forney insists upon
it's acceptance. He returned to Philu.

THE FREsnEr IN LYNCH's CREEK. We
understand that the bridge of Big
Lynch Creek, known as Miller's Bridge,
has been very seriously damaged by u
raft which was foated down the creek
by the high water, about week ago.
Coming in contact with the oontro of
the bridge, the raft swept away ninety
three feet of it, thereby rendering il i'm
passible. The gentleman who gave US
the information also says that the road
on the Kershaw side of tho creek at
BIakeney's Bridge is in such torrible
condition. that it is impossible for con-
veyance of any kind to pass.
