in charge by the police. They proved to be
all above the infant age-though it was be-:
lieved many of them were under age-and
the corporation was compelled to set them at
liberty. First, however, they offered situations,
but under Chinese threats or fears, it is sup
posed, they went off with their countrymen,
and fell into the hands of the "Hip Yee
Tong" They first paid the ring forty dollars
each, and then it received ten per cent, on
the purchase money paid for them at auction.
Each was brought out, one after another, into
the auction-room in nude state, and cried
out to the highest bidder. The prices paid
ranged from two hundred and fifty dollars to
four hundred and twenty-five dollars. The
writer says he had seen negro slaves sold in
the Southern States, Turks at the slave mar
ket in Constantinople, Arabs in Alexandria
at an auction of eunuchs, and eastern jockeys
at horse sale, but he had never witnessed
anything so revolving as this sale of Chinese
women. Now here is theme for the busy
philanthropists.

by some gentleman of Burke county, who
proposes to 90 largely into the sheep raising
business"
The Charlotte Observer thinks that the
scheme for building railroad from Lincoln
ton to Hickory Tavern, on the Western North
Carolina Railroad, is preferable to the pro-
posed road from Chester to Lenoir, via Lin
colnton and Hickory Tavern. The Observer
modes.ly suggests that "Charlotte, and not
Chester, is the proper market for the produc-
tions of the Catawba Valley! Of course,
this is disinterested advice, for which the peo-
pie of the Catawba Valley should be thank
full.
The Hickory Tavern Press of last week
says that the County Commissioners of Cataw-
ba county have indefinitely postponed the
time of holding the election to determine the
question of subscribing 100000 towards
building the Chester and Lenoir Narrow
Gauge Railroad. The Press says: "The elec-
ton will not be held on the 9th Of October as
stated last week. The friends of the enter
prise thought this advisable for the present,
hoping for change of public sentiment at an
early day. 1t now behooves all parties in
terested to make vigorous and determined
effort, to raise private subscription which,
we believe, can be DONE"
- The Charlotte Democrat says: "We are
authorized by the General Manager of the
Piedmont Airline Railroad from Green's
boro to Atlanta via Charlotte, to state that,
with view to developing the resources of
the country tributary to said road, and for
the purpose of inviting capital in mining and
manufacturing, and encouraging immigra-
ton, parties who have mineral or agricultu-
raj lands for sale can send descriptions, with
location, terms of sale, and other particulars,
to Mr.. F. B. Hubbell, at the Office of the
General Manager, Richmond, Va, so that it
may be in his power to answer inquiries and
direct attention of purchasers to desirable
localities. He charges nothing for bis SER
vices, the only object being simply to increase
the business of the road and develop the re-
sources of the country by directing to it the
attention of capitalists and immigrants by
descriptive circulars and other publications" D."

OVER FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A
Cow-The most remarkable sale Of cattle
ever made in this country took place at New
York Mills, three miles from Utica, New
York, on the 10th instant, comprising the
herd of Duchess and Oxford breeds belonging
to Hon. Samuel Campbell. The sale attrac-
ted the most prominent short horn breeders
of the world; including representatives from
the great grazing sections of Kentucky, 1lli.
nois, Ohio, Minnesota, Canada, England and
Scotland. About FIVE hundred people were
present, including all the American breeders
and the following from England: Right Hon.
Lord Skelmersdale, whose seat is near Liv-
erpool; Mr.. Halford, of Papillon Market
Harbor Mr.. Calthrope, Mr.. Richardson, who
represents Sir Curtis Lampson, of Sussex !;
Mr.. Berwick, agent for Lord Dunmore, but
who buys for Earl Bective, recently Lord
Kenlis, of Underley Hall, Lancashire, and
Mr.. Kello, agent for Mr.. R. PAWN Davis, of
Horton, Gloucestershire ;also Messrs. Coch'
rane, Christie, Miller and Beattie, Of Canada.
The Duchess family, headed by that noble
three.year old bull, Second Duke of Oneida,
came first in the sale. He was no sooner pre-
sented than Lord Skelmersdale offered S10,0 900.
This was quickly followed by offers of $1,000
and $4,000, and he was sold to Mr.. Thomas
J. Megibben, of Cynthiana, KY. Next came
First Duchess of Oneida. The bidding star
ted at SIS coo and quickly ran up to 100000,
after which bids of 500 more were made un-
til she was sold to Lord Kelmersdale for $780,
600. A beautiful yearling, Seventh Duchess
of Oneida, was next offered. The bids started
at $4,000 and quickly went up to $4,000, at
which sum she was sold to Mr.. A. J. Alexan-
der, of Kentucky. After her the Tenth Du-
chess of Geneva came into the ring. The bid
ding starting at $500, ran quickly up to $780,
600, and then, by smaller bids, to 5000, at
which she was taken by Lord Beehive, through
Mr.. Berwick. Several fine animals followed
at high prices, some to cross the Atlantic.
The elimination of the intense interest,
however, was reached in the bidding for the
Eighth Duchess of Geneva, which was sold
to Mr. R. PAWN Davis, of Worcestershire,
England, for the unprecedented sum of $780,
OOO After this eleven COWS of the Duchess
family sold for $685. 300, an average of over
s21,7OO. OF these six went to England at a
cost of $147, 100, and five remain here at
cost Of s9l,7OO.
After the Dutchess family came the Ok
fords, then the other families, the bulls being
brought in after all the COWS we're sold. There
were in all one hundred and eleven animals
presented. The sum realized was $5S0,890.
The Duchess herd was originally from Eng
land, imported in 1858, and kept in perfect
purity in Duchess county, New York. For
some years many young animals, both male
and female, have been sold back to England.

THE RAILROAD BOND SUIT.

In our columns, this week, appears the opin-
ion of Hon. T. J. Mackey, Judge of the 9th
Circuit, upon the case brought before him, in
July last, to enjoin the County Commissioners
of York, from issuing bonds in aid Of the
Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad
Company. The argument is clear, cogent
and comprehensive, and in the opinion of sew
eral gentleman learned in the law-upon
many of the issues raised-it is impregnable.
The paper exhibits great care in its prepara-
ton, and whether sustained in all its conclu-
sions by revising court or not, it is a produc.
tior rejecting great credit upon the author,
and one that will compare favorably with the
best efforts of the old judiciary of the State.

In fact, there is greater probability that we
will retrograde. Until system of diversified
labor is established in the South, permanent
recuperation cannot be attained; the resour-
ces of the country never can be developed,
and the masses of our people never can be-
come thoroughly civilized and enlightened.

l am constrained to conclude, after care
full survey of the authorities cited and the ar
guments adduced by the learned counsel for
the plaintiffs, that when the General Assem-
bly, declared, in section II of the Act to in
corporate the Chester and Lenoir Narrow
Guage Railroad Company, "That it shall be
lawful for any county or town interested in
the construction of the said Chester and Le-
noir Railroad, to subscribe to the capital stock
of said company, or of any company with
which it may consolidate or unite, such sum,
and to be payable in such manner as the peo-
pie or proper authorities Of such county or town
shall deem best, determine and authorize" it
intended to vest the power Of subscription, on
behalf of the county, in the proper authori'
ties" of the county, without the intervention
of popular vote. Any other conclusion
would demand also transposition of the
words of the statute, which would carry the
Court into the forbidden domain Of legisla.
ton.
It was urged, however, by the plaintiffs,
that the term "proper authorities" does not, ne
cessarily, designate the County Commissioners
rather than the County Treasurer. cannot
perceive any difficulty in defining the term
"proper authorities" viewing it in the light of
the context, and in relation to the subject
matter of the proposed subscription. Public
officers are de6nable by their usual functions,
and when doubt arises as to what officers
are Intended by statute that vests officials
with lew power, or imposes upon them new
duties that doubt may be best solved by as
certaining whether the statute relates to
matter which is germane to the Office of those
who propose to exercise the power, or perform
the duty.
The statute relates to the construction of a
railroad passing through the county Of York.
A railway is designated in the General Stat
utes of this State, as "public highway"
wide G.. S., Chap 63, Sec. 75), and it is man
ifestly valuable internal improvement. Sec.
ton l9, Article 4, of the State Constitution,
provides that "The qualified electors of each
county shall elect three persons, for the term
of two years, who shall constitute Board of
County Commissioners, which shall have ju-
risdiction over roads, highways, ferries, bridg-
es, and in all matters relating to taxes, dis
bursements of money for county purposes, and
in every other case that may be necessary to
the internal improvement and local concerns
of the respective counties: Provided, Thatin
all cases there shall be the right Of appeal to
the State Courts"
This language of the constitution, defining
the jurisdiction of the County Commissioners,
considered with reference to the subject mat
ter of the statute in question, points to them
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1873-01-04
S.T- The Industrial Mn,fh]u for De

s@ The Industrial Monthly for De-
cember thus speaks of new kind of
hanging for house walls:
Paper-hangings for walls are known
to everybody. 1t is now proposed to
use hangings made of metal; and an
account of this new invention, which
comes to us from Paris, has been read
before the Society of Arts. The metal
employed is tin-foil, in sheets about 1G
feet long, and from 30 to 40 inches
wide. The sheets are painted and
dried at high temperatures, and are
then decorated with many different pat
terms, such as foliage, flowers, imi-
tons of wood and landscapes. Tin
foil is in itself naturally tough, and the
coats laid upon it in preparing it for the
market increases its toughness. The
hangingof these metallic sheets is SIM
liar to paper-hanging except that the
wall is vanished with weak kind of
varnish, and the sheet applied thereto.
Thus in this way room of house
may be newly painted, without any
smell of paint to annoy or harm the
inmates. Moreover, the tin-foil keeps
out damp; and as the varnish is damp
resister, the protection to the room is
two-fold.
