crop is abundant our people, as general
rule, are prosperous.
The State Supreme Court has reversed the
decision Of Judge Tourgee, recently made in
the Superior Court of Orange county, as to
the power of the State to tax United States
treasury notes, national bank bills and solvent
credits. The opinion of the Court was ren-
dered by Judge Reade. 1t will be remem-
bered that Judge Tourgee held that neither
United States treasury notes nor National
bank bills, were subject to taxation by the
State, also that solvent credits were not taxa
BILE, as the deposit remained money either as
United States treasury notes, or National bank
bills.
- The Hickory Press contains lengthy ac-
count of the arrest, in Nforganton, on the 9th
ultimo, of Honorable w. A. Smith, Receiver
of the Western North Carolina Railroad, by
United States Revenue officials. 1t seems
that the officials demanded access to the books
and papers of the railroad since it passed un-
der Major Smiths control, and he refused to
comply with the demand until their authority
for making it was shown. They failed to ex-
hibit any authority, whereupon the Major
elected them from his Office. The officers
then obtained warrants for Major Smith, one
for resisting their authority and another for
assault and battery, and upon hearing be,
fore United States Commissioner, he was
bound in bond of $1,000 in each case, to
answer at the next term of the Federal Court
at Statesville. In expounding the law, the
United States Commissioner, man named
Eastman, claimed he had the right to enter
any mans house and examine his private pa
pers, and if the party refused, he could break
open his house or safe

A Current of Immigration.

An observing citizen who baa given special at
tention 20 immigration matters. estimates that for
some days past the average arrival Of immigrants
has been equal to one hundred a day. THIS il q
small current. IL IL true. bnt II it could be maiu-
tanned for a year, the State would begin 20 reap in
a tangible way its benefits. The spring months are
the most favorable Tor immigration, bat NIL months
favor au incoming population.
All the Immigrants do not remain. Oregon
draws Oh a considerable lumber. Her immense
body OF cheap lands and moist climate are very
great attractions. But the largest proportion re-
main in California They nnd opportunities
enough for labor. or TO purchase land at reasonable
prices. Those who have ome here TO escape the
oppression Of climate at the East. will not look be.
yOnd California.
One hundred men and women dropping down
here quietly every day, most Of them having a liz
Tie money. and all having IA will 10 work. add ma-
terially To the industrial forces of the State. One
hundred immigrants q day Is SO small a number ~
hardly 20 attract attention. But more than thirty
thousand - year as an aggregate of this small ar-
rival. provided it can be kept up, is something
worth thinking about.
The foregoing is from the 5. Il. Bulctin. Very
slightingly they OF California talk of an immigra-
ton Of one hundred per day. One hundred y
month of such immigrants. coming TO stay, would
be OF untold value to Hawaii nei. -

for one hundred aud twenty eve miles further soa,h-

4 correspondent Of a Boston newspaper statesl
that during the past ten years the important sub.
ject Of suppressing rum sales has occupied one.
tepth part Of each entire session Of the Legislature,
and that the expense Of tinkering the prOhibitory
law alone must have been over $500. 900. Perhaps
it would be only fair by way Of set-on to inquire
how much the liquor traffic has cost the State, or If
support Of prisoners. But what shows the real
feeling Of the people is the persistence with which
this legal reform has been urged. There have beer
blunders, but the great end desired has never bee.
lost sight Of and never abandoned. The tempe,
ance people of the State, honest and in a great M
jority, cannot be discouraged by the blunders IF
Lawmakers.
